Efforts of the federal government TO
curb speculation on the board of trade,
thru the announcement that the gov
eminent would discontinue the pur-
chase>o -four except first clears and
victory -four, with the accompanying
| declaration by the food director that
if necessary all restrictions on foreign
wheat and -four would be taken off,
which caused a smash in prices Tnes-
day with a further drop Wednesday,
was not without it's effect locally.
4 record business was done in tn :
local corn market Tuesday, and
number Of Marshall county SPECTATORS
who had bought late were compelled
to take heavy losses. One Speculator
who had purchased 5000 bushels q
corn at high tide Monday, retained his
holdings thru the wild reactions OF
Tuesday, with a loss of II cents a
bushel. or a total of $3.50 on the one
transac tion. A further decline Wednes-
day resulted in further loss on his in
vestmcnt.
Short Sellers Profit.
A few who had sold short on The up
market profited by the sharp breaks
Of Tuesday and Wednesday. The wires
Of the local markets never were
watched with keener interest than dur
ing the two days. Traders were called
upon to use their best judgment in
determining whether 10 unload at
loss or 10 hold for a possible re-
dictionary rise.
The COncensus of opinion on the
market Tuesday was that further
break would result Wednesday and
| this belief proved we'll founded. Some
traders who had held over during the
wild selling rush of Tuesday were in
clined to get out from under Wednes-
day. altho a few still believed an up
turn would follow in time to at least
make up part of the losses.
Few Spectators Prepared.
The break came unexpectedly 20
most local traders. The market had
been riding on an up wave with no
apparent tendency to fall back and the
ever present faith of the Spectator IN
climbing prices caused rather heavy
buying despite the extreme prices
Buying is said to have been heavy
even at the highest quotations. the
belief prevailing that 81 corn was not
improbable. This faith may have h
some foundation in fact but for sud
den rush Of corn and hogs from the
country and the unexpected govern
| ment announcement.
Transactions in the local grain mar
ket were of record proportions Tues
day, mainly from orders to sell. A few
threw their holdings on the market
Saturday and Monday, when prices
were at the crest.
Effect on Country Holdings.
1t is said there is still considerable
, corn being held in the country in his
vicinity and the farmers stand to take
a heavy loss, unless there is an up
turn in market prices. AS the situation
stands however, an upturn at this
time seems unlikely in view of the
governments attitude.
The situation in wheat, from the
standpoint Of the farmer. is not SER
ious A guaranteed price has been
made and the government must stand
the loss below it. The acreage of wheat
in Marshall county is exceptional and
the crop is said to be in excellent con-
dition

Cost of War in Money and Territory
ApDrOximated by Expert
SimOndS.
By Frank H. Simonds

By Frank H. Simonds
ParIS-Most important Of all the
various departments of what will be
the peace of Versailles is the deci-
sion with respect to Germany. This
decision as to the frontiers is as fol-
lows:
Germany will hereafter stop at the
Rhine and at the old western from
tier of Poland preceding the first par
tltlon Of 1772. In addition, Germany
will lose the Danish-speaking popu-
lations of Schleswig and the Polish
speaking populations of upper Sile-
sla. BY contrast, she will probably
acquire the purely German regions of
Austria
Expressed in statistics, Germany
will lose between $4,000 and 10000
square miles of territory, with a pop
ulation of between 100000 and
l4,OOO,000 and will acquire between
10000 and 10000 square miles with
population of 100000. Instead of
212,0O0 square miles, here area be-
fore the war, which was slightly in
excess of that of France, she will
have about $4,000 square miles: and
instead of a population of 67 900 600
a population of 60,0O0,0OO.
The Rhenish republic may utiIi-
mately return to Germany, but even
with this ultimate accreation Ger
many will still be smaller in area
than Spain.
Army and Navy,
On the military and naval side.
Germany is to be compelled not only
to abandon her claim to her war fleet.
but also to give up certain other
ships, destroy war 1nips which are
building, destroy all her submarine
plants and in addition agree not to
maintain an army in excess of
100000. Rigid provisions are to be
made for the inspection of German
industrial plants to guard against re-
armament
Germany will be reduced to a con
-dition which will make a new attack
upon the western world unlikely for
at least a quarter of a century, and
steps have been taken to provide for
the creation of a Rhenish republic,
that when such an attack comes. its
first fury will be borne not in the
French and Belgian industrial dis
trlcts, but in the German-speaking
regions of the Rhenish republic.

Final Peace Terms
To Bind Germany
What Can Germany Pay?

Calculations as to the utmost Ger.
many can pay vary widely at $10,-
O0O, 100000 for a minimum and $40
00,000,0 900 as a maximum, and
have encountered no credible witness
ses who believe that Germany will be
able to pay more than $20000,000 ,0OC
in any relatively near future In
these years the allied troops will oc-
cupy the left bank of the Rhine with
the bridge heads as a guarantee
against payment. Moreover, even a
better guarantee is the utter depend
ence of Germany upon the outside
world for food supplies.
States Formed ON Racial Lines.
In addition to dealing with Ger
many, the allies had before them the
gigantic task of erecting on the ruins
OF Austria and Hungary and on the
western frontiers of Russia, new
states which should follow the lines
of ethics division.
1t seems to be settled that the Ger
transporting provinces of Austria
will join Germany; thus middle Eu-
ropia has at last been resolved into
its component racial elements and
European history enters new phase
German Colonies.
AS to the German colonies. thew

who will hold them as manufactures

Legislative Tragedy
of Many Years Ago

Slightly more than three-quarters
of a century ago there occurred in
Wisconsin's capitol a tragedy which
excited the whole territory, attract
ed the attention of the country, and
finally, through Charles Dickens, was
carried to Europe in that authors
American notes. On February H.
1912, James r. Vineyard, represent
ing Grant county at the territorial
council, shot and almost instantly
killed Charles G. P. Arndt of Brown
county.
The details of this unfortunate oc-
currence are related in several old
er histories of the state but they are
not known to all of those of the pres
ent generation who come in contact
with the legislature.
Over Naming of Sheriff.
Governor Doty had recommended
the name of Enos Baker for sheriff
of Grant county. Vineyard and Arndt
took opposite sides as to his appoint
ment. A motion was made to table
the appointment and Arndt opposed
this suggestion and declared that the
gentleman from Grant, Mr.. Vine
yard, praised Baker in high terms.
This Vineyard declared to be a false
hood. Heated words passed between
the two men.
"Order! Order!" cried the presi-
dent.
Whether for the purpose of ending
the quarrel or to permit it to contin-
ue does not appear but motion for
Adjournment was made a few minutes
&C l1o
motion was made and started toward
Vineyard demanding an explanation.
The two men were separated and it
was pointed out that the speaker. had
not yet announced the adjournment.
As soon as the gavel had descended
Arndt again advanced upon Vineyard.
To his question if Vineyard had
meant that Arndt was guilty 10 a
falsehood, Vineyard replied: Your
statement was false
Arndt Struck the First Blow.
Arndt Immediately struck Vine
yard on the forehead The latter lev
eled a pistol and fired one shot and
Arndt reeled back, dying in a few
seconds. Vineyard surrendered him
self and, with his wife, went to jail
until he could raise bond of $4,000.
He sent his resignation to the coun-
Gil, which refused to accept it or ev-
en- permit it to be read, and voted to
expell him. He was tried for man
slaughter, after securing a change of
venue, and was acquitted on the
ground of self-defense.
An interesting commentary on the
characters of the men involved is to
be secured from early records. Mrs.
Elizabeth Theresa Baird in her rem
iniscences says of visit to Madison:
I'VE received a great many callers,
as Mr.. Baird knew all the members
of the legislature. Among them was

in widowhood throughout her life.
He had planned happy home for
his family, having erected the main
part of the building which is now
occupied by the Sisters of the Good

Theodore Rodolf tells of the char
acter of Vineyard:
II had known Vineyard and when
he was brought to Mineral Point as
a prisoner, |, with large number of
his friends visited him and procured
for him the required bail. VINEYARD
claimed that he acted in self-defense.
and his friends and neighbors all de-
clared him to be a peacable, kind
hearted man. To me he expressed
his sorrow for his rashness but in
sisted on his right of self-defense.
On his subsequent trial he was ac-
quilted. John H. Roundtree. high
ly respected citizen of Grant COUNTY,
a political opponent of Vineyard but
for upward of 15 years a neighbor
and friend of the prisoner. and an
eyewitness of the killing, gave testi-
mony in common with other mem
bers of the council who were present
which convinced the jury that the
shooting was really done in self-de-
fense"
Vest Shows Bullet Hole.
The state historical society posses
ses unique memento of the TRACE
dy. 1t is the vest that Arndt was
wearing at the time, gaudy affair
of the fashion of his day and the
breast, directly over where the heart
would be, is the tiny hole through
which the bullet that killed him.
