New Election Ordinance.

New Election Ordinance.
The town council on Monday passed
an ordinance providing that candidates
for corporation offices shall file with the
mayor and recorder certificate OF their
candidacy not less than fourteen days
before the election that the mayor and
recorder constituting ballot commission,
shall prepare ballot from the names
submitted 10 them, which ballot shall be
published in two newspapers for two
weeks preceding the election; at the
election the ballots shall be marked as
are the ballots at State elections. The
ordinance may be found in another
column OF the Register this week.
We think that this ordinance will prove
to be very good thing, as il will make
our elections more regular and give the
people opportunity to scrutinize their
tickets ana vote intelligently. In the past
it has often happened that no ticket has
been circulated until the morning OF cleo
ton and the candidates were not known
until the voter went to the polls. We
think that the council is TO be commended
for passing this ordinance.

FOOD CONSERVATION
IS GOVERNMENTS
BIGGEST PROBLEM
MANAGER PARKER PLACES LO.
CAL MILL AT DISPOSAL OF
UNCLE SAM.
CHANGE IN WHEAT GRADING
NEW RULING REQUIRES So
POUND WHEAT TO GRADE
NO. NORTHERN.

Uncle Sam has extensive plans in
the making for the handling and con-
serving Of the food products Of the
nation during the war period. Flour,
of course, is the chief article used
for food stuffs and Food Commissions
er Herbert Hoover is cndeavcring to
line up all Of the larger mills Of the
country to work VIII him to the end
that the best possible results may be
obtained and the -four put on the
market at the lowest possible living
price. A day or two ago it was Civ
eE out that the price fur wheat has
been placed at SITS PEI bushel for
Nc. l Northern, so that in any event
the consumer will be compelled to
pay rather stiff price t0r his food
stuff.
Under Mr.. Hoover's plan the mills
cents per barrel over the cost Of pro-
duction-this will be guaranteed the
millers. Manager William Ii. Park
Ell Of the Central Minnesota Power
and Milling Conpany's plant Of Sank
Centre, has been in correspondence
with Mr.. Hoover for some time, and
has gladly signifed his willingness
to place the local plant at the disposal
of Uncle Sam during the war period.
Letters sent out to the millers of
the country ask for detailed informa-
ton, such as the capacity of the mill,
can the capacity be increased, the
wheat and flour storage capacity; the
amount of wheat bought LEGALLY in
1916 and the amount of wheat shipped
in. The letter also inquiries whether
it will be possible for the mill 20 run
steadily at 24-hour days, and for any
other information that will assist the
government in getting the food con-
servation well in hand.
Another point of vital interest to
the farmers has just been received,
and that is increasing the require
ments for No. l oltneGn wheat.
Heretofore the test for No. l northern
has been 81 pounds per bushel, but
from orders received from the govern
ment a day or two ago the 1917 wheat
must weigh SO pounds per bushel to
grade No. 1 northern. So when the
new crops begins to be delivered do
not blame local buyers or millers if
them demand SO pound wheat for No.
l northern as they are powerless in
the matter and are in no way respon-
sible for the change.
Manager Parker is giving Mr..
Hoover every possible cooperation
and the lining up of the local mill
with the government in this impor-
tant work will mean that large num-
Der of men will be given employment
as the mill will undoubtedly be placed
upon a 24-hour basis and remain
there at least during the war period.

Retormatory Bound, Two
Young Men Make Daring
Escape From The Sheriff

One of the most daring and
clever escapes ever made has been
drawn to the attention of the pub
lie is that of two young men who.
were being taken from Minneapo-
lis to the st. Cloud reform tory
last Saturday night. They had.
been handcuffed together and.
were sitting facing the officers in.
double seats in the smoker Of
their train. One officer gave them
a paper, to read, which they held
with their outside hands and
which completely hid their faces
While they were supposedly read
ing, their desperate plan pas plot
ted. Just after the train had
pulled out at Albertville, there
was a jump and both men were
out the open window next to
them. The officers were bewilder-
ed and it was some time before
they could find the conductor to
stop the train. One man got off,
while the other went on to Mon.
ticello. Searching posses were or
ganlzed from both places but SO
far they have not been discovered.

MURDERED AT LOS ANGELES.
Brother in Law of Sank Centre Man,
Private Detective, Killed in
Gun Mixup Monday.

T. F. Myott received telegram on
Wednesday announcing the death of
his brother in law, O. S. Firman of
Los Angeles. The Minneapolis Journ-
al published full account of the af-
fair which is reprinted herewith:
Los Angeles, Cal, July 17-Fired

who with his wife traced him to the
apartment of his stenographer last
night, William H. Cole, wealthy
stock broker, shot and killed Detective
o. C. Firman, and wounded c. D.
French, Firman's brother in law.
Cole, who is said to be from New
York, is in Jail facing a murder
charge, and two young women,
Misses Eva and Jean Chapman, are
detained CAS- witnesses.
In the battle to clear Cole these
women will be the central figures,
the polio say. The Misses Chapman
assert Sole fired in self-defense. Mrs.
Cole is expected to side with the de-
tectives, whom she had employed to
gather evidence of Gales alleged in
timacy with Miss Eva Chapman, his
stenographer.
According to the young women,
Gale was in their apartment when
the detectives, Mrs. Gale, Mrs. Fir
man and Mrs. French sought admit
lance. Firman, they say, knocked at
the door and when one of the Chapman
girls opened it he and French forced
their way in, followed by Mrs. Cole
and the other two women.
Mrs. Cole asserts that Immediately
upon finding himself confronted by
his wife and the officers, Cole leaped
to dresser and grabbed a pistol.
At his home later, Cole made the
following statement:
81 was in the rom with the two
young women and was lying on a
cough reading to them. Suddenly there
was knock on the door. Two men
pushed their way into the room, and
one struck me. Then he fired at me

n0bs And Beats
Staples RaiIroad Han; Is
Captured Leaving Town

Pay day in railroad town is
more OF less dangerous day Or
night. It is then that the money
slips little more easily, that it
is flashed a bit careIessly. It is
then that the thieves, out after
small loot, reap their petty har-
vest. In Staples Saturday even
ing about ten o'clock, man
named Hagen, foreman at the
Northern Pacific round house, was
beaten TO Inconsistencies, robbed
Of $50, his gold watch and his hat,
ard was dragged into some near
by bushes On the south side.
About three hours later, Hagen
came to and dragged himself to
the sidewafk..where he attracted
the attention of two passing men.
They took him to his home and
before he iapsed again into un-
consciousness, learned that the
rCbber was negro. He was found
at the station, about to board a
train, was arrested and taken to
the city Jail. The money and
watch were in his pockets, while
he was wearing the hat. The man
densad the crime, but the evidence
was too strong against him.
1t was thought for awhile that
Hagen could not live. His face
was literally beaten to a pulp and
it was feared that his injuries
were internal. Indignation among
the railroad men reached such a
pitch that violent action against
the negro was feared and he was
taken to the county prison on
Monday morning. Hagen has
been taken to the hospital and at
last reports was recovering.
