MILLERS TEAR CORNER.
Agree to Take NO. 2 Wheat on Out
standing Contracts.
The Northwestern Consolidated
Milling company of Minneapolis, by
A. C. Loring, president, posted a
notice at the chamber of com­
merce announcing that on contracts
for wheat due it for May and July
delivery the company will accept No.
2 Northern wheat at fair and equitable
prices of difference, instead or No. 1
Northern, the contract grade.
The sensation caused by this move
was still at its height when eight more
Such notices were posted and what a:
first had looked like the daring mov§
of one big company took the appear­
ance of concerted effort on the part of
millers to stop the price manipulation
that has been going on openly in the
Minneapolis pit for some time and has
threatened to end in a corner in May
wheat.
The millers' contention is that a
condition was developing that would
paralyze the industry that while
there is wheat enough there is so
small a quantity of No. 1 Northern,
the contract grade in Minneapolis,
that one large firm or a combination
of firms might control it and run
prices to a level that would make it
Impossible to sell flour, necessitating
the closing down of the mills.
SUES FOR VALUABLE MINE
Widow of Deceased Soldier Claims
Rich Property.
Suit has been file-1 in the district
court at Duluth by Mary A. Skinner,
administratrix of the estate of John
R. Skinner, deceased, against Welling
ton R. Burt and the Lake Superior
Consolidated Iron Mines company,
which involves the title to the Burt
mine at Hibbing, one of the most valu­
able properties on the range and esti­
mated to be worth $8,000,000.
The plaintiff claims that John R.
Skinner served in the Union army
during the War of the Rebellion and
that under a soldiers' additional land
grant, given him by reason of his hon­
orable discharge, he filed on the land
in question.
The company claims that Skinner,
in common wirh many other Union
soldiers, sold the soldiers' scrip given
him on account of his honorable dis
charge and in
Ju'.y,
1875, signed a
blank power of attorney to go with
the scrip on account of a ruling of the
land department requiring that land
be entered on under the soldier's
name.
FIRST PLACE OR NONE.
Johnson Not a Candidate for the Vice
Presidency.
Rumors of combinations with the
end in view of nominating Governor
Johnson for vice president on the Dem­
ocratic ticket were denied at the
Johnson headquarters in Washington,
where the following statement was
given out:
"Governor Johnson is in the race
for the presidential nomination. If by
any chance he fails ro the presi­
dential nomination he wili not, under
any circumstances, accept the vice
presidential nomination."
LOSS IS VERY HEAVY.
Killing Frost Occurs in Southern
Minnesota.
A killing frost is reported through­
out the southern part of the state.
Many thousand acres of garden
truck, hundreds of flower beds and
other green products were blasted by
the frost and ruined for the season.
Strawberry plants are frozen and
wilted. Currant bushes and fruit
trees, which were covered with buds,
were killed for the season and will
bear no fruit this year. The frost
means a loss of many thousands of
dollars.
Lunatic tries to End His Life.
Charles Hill, a young farmer re­
siding near Litchfield, was adjudged
insane by the probate court at
that place and committed to the
Fergus Fall3 asylum. While on the

jumped through the glass window,

fore the officers reached him. He is
in the Litchfield hospital with small
chance of recovery.

A HARD STRUGGLE
Many a Worthington Citizen
Finds the Struggle Hard.
With aback constantly aching.
W ith distressing urinary disorders.
Daily existence is but a struggle.
No need to keep it up.
Doan's Kidney Pills will cure u.
Worthington people endorse this
claim.
Wm. Yahn, Clary Addition, Wr
thington, Minn., says: "I u-**t
Doan's Kidney Pills and found tw
to be exactly as represented. I suffer­
ed from backache for years which I
believe was the result of the ha it
ships I endured during the war. My
back ached continually and frvqqent
ly sharp pains would seize me and
11 would be uuable to move. When
these paias passed off, there was a
dull aching and a miserable weak­
ness in my back. There was also a
distressing irregularity of the kidney
secretions aua I lost much rest on
this account. I tried mauv remedies
but failed to find relief until Doan's
Kidney Pills were procured at F. M.
Hickm-tn's drugstore and I started
nsiDg them. They went immediately
to the^afc of trouble and in a short
time bar. is bed it altogether.'' (From
statement given Nov. 18tb. 1905.)
TIME IS THE TEST.
On Oct. 22nd, 1907, Mr. Yahn said:
''I have no reason to retract anything
from the stat«-m-nt I gave in 1905
concerning Doan's Kidaey Fills as 1
have suffered no return of the
trouble."'
