traceable to, but are the direct result of indi

which fails of perfect digestion ferments and
swells the stomach, puffing it up against the

HIS CAREER ENDS
Germany Loses a Great Soldier
the Death of Field Marshal
Von Waldersee.
Hanover, Prussia, March 7—Field
Marshal Count von Waldersee died at
eight o'clock Saturday evening. He had
been ailing for a long time, but it was
only within a day or two that his friends
had become alarmed over his condition.
His malady was intestinal trouble.
Count von Waldersee will be given a
military funeral. He was very popular
will all classes, who received him with
cheers whenever he appeared in public.
Field Marshal Count Alfred von Wal-
dersee was born in Potsdam in 1832, and
than 50 years and during that time won
renown as one of the ablest soldiers in
the world. He served in four campaigns,
that of Schleswig-Holstein in 1854, the
war with Austria in 1866, the campaign
against France in 1870-71, and in the
conflict against the Boxers in China in
1900. He was a man in whom Von
Moltke, the famous German tactician,
put the greatest trust, and was selected
by him as the most promising candidate

San Juan, Porto Rico, March 7.—The

recommended in a message from Gov.
Hunt the purpose of which is to pre

Porto Rico.
Bank Robbers Convicted.
La Crosse, Wis., March 4.—Edward
Raymond, Otto Kellar and James Mur
phy were convicted yesterday of robbing
the Spring Grove bank at Caledonia,
and were sentenced to serve five years
each.
Late at night the fire began moving manded"ty Gens. Veronetz and Artamo
southward toward this city. At mid
night 5,000 people of the city were
fighting the fire. The advance line of
the fire was fully two 'miles in length.
By hard work they saved the town.
Stories are coming in of how families
lay out on the prairie throughout the
cold night after the storm had passed,
with only thin clothes on. Hundreds
of people are destitute and are suffer
ing intensely from the cold and their
burns Clothes, medicine, and physi
cians are being sent out from all the
cities and towns of the district to re
lieve the suffering.

of the Mormon church, respecting his
continued violations of the law forbid
ding polygamous cohabitation again
constituted the feature of the proceed
ings Saturday before the senate commit
tee on privileges and elections against
Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah. The wit
ness, angered by the persistent efforts of
some members of the committee to ob
tain from him every detail of his remis
sion in obeying the law, turned on con
gress and charged that body with inter
fering without authority in his private
domestic affairs and usurping the pow

said, possessed the right to hold him to
account for his conduct.
Vladivostock, March 7.—A fleet of five
Japanese battleships and two cruisers
appeared off this place at 1:25 o'clock
Sunday afternoon and bombarded the
town and shore batteries for 55 minutes.
The fleet approached from the direction
of Askold island, at the east entrance
to Ussuri bay and about 32 miles south
east of Vladivostock. Entering Ussuri
bay the enemy formed in line of battle,
but did not approach to a closer range
than a mile and one-third. They directed
their fire against the shore batteries and
the town, but no damage resulted, as
most of the 200 lyddite shells failed to
burst. The Russian batteries, corn-
noff, did not reply, awaiting a closer ap
proach of the enemy. The Japanese fire
ceased at 2:20 p. m. and the enemy re
tired in the direction of Askold island.
Simultaneously two torpedo boat de
stroyers appeared near Askold island
and two more near Cape Maidel. The
Japanese ships were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians, but cost the enemy 200,000
roubles ($100,000) in ammunition. Most
of the projectiles were six and 12-inch
shells.

MINNESOTA NEW&
A Very Old Woman. 5M
After a very short illness, Mr* Pure
heart Wakeley is dead of pneumonia
at her home in Sharon, LeSueur county,
and by her death undoubtedly the old
est woman of Minnesota has been re
moved from the scene of her remarka
ble life.
Mrs. Wakely was 111 years of age.
Despite the fact that she was married
three times and became the mother of
fourteen children, who all lived to the
age of twenty or more, and many of
whom married and became fathers or
mothers, yet all of Mrs. Wakeley's hus
bands, relatives and descendants died
and passed away before she did, and at
her death had not a relative to survive
her.
At Johnstown, Pa., where all their
numerous descendants lived, and where
forty-three members of the family, be
ing all of them with the exception of
Mrs. Wakeley and one son, were over
taken by the flood of May 31, 1889.
With this son Mrs. Wakeley came to
Le Sueur county, and bought a large
farm in Sharon township. Six years
later they rented the farm and moved
to Galveston, Texas, where the son
lost his life in the storm and tidal
wave that befell that city. Yet Mrs.
Wakeley escaped that terrible disaster
and went back and again resided on
the farm, where she resided until the
time of her death, dying intestate.
In default of all heirs at law, her
property, which amounts to about $10,
000, will eschest to the state.
Chased by Wolves.
To be chased across the ice a dis
taace of five miles with a pack of mad
wolves in hot pursuit, and burning his
clothing to keep the animals off, was
the adventure which Otto Bremner ex
perienced.
Bremner is employed at the Schroed
er lumber camp in Cook county and
while going to Tafte, a postoffice down
the shore, for supplies, he noticed a
pack of wolves a short distance out on
the ice feeding on the carcass of a deer
they had run down. He tried to sneak
by without being notieed, but their
sharp eyes viewed him, and they were
soon in full chase. He had a pack up
on his shoulders, and reaching for a
garment therein, set it afire, and ran
with a flame streaming behind him.
When one garment was consumed he
lighted another, and finally the pack
sack itself itself was used as a torch
and before he reached Tafte he strip
ped off his mackintosh and consigned
it to the flames.
The wolves were in hot pursuit, but
kept at a considerable distance from
the blaze. Bremner was completely
exhausted from his race for life, but
barring a few burns upon his hands
and face, he was little the worse for
adventure.
Tree the Bear.
A large black bear was tracked to his
lair in a tree between Minneapolis and
St. Paul.
A large number of people noting the
large tracks in the snow joined in the
chase, which proved exciting, as it was
conducted entirely without the aid of
firearms.
A local museum was moving a part
of the menagerie, consisting of four
wolves, two coyotes, two bears, etc.,
from their quarters in Minneapolis to
the museum at Harriet island in St.
Paul. On the way over one of the two
bears got loose and made immediate
tracks for the -woods.
The keepers followed on the run and
finally brought bruin to bay, when he
took refuge in a tree. He was at last
coaxed down by libations of honey and
other sweets.
Relief of ettlers.
Many settlers in Minnesota and the
Dakotas are interested in a bill which
passed the senate legalizing land proofs
and entries made outside the limits of
United States land districts.
It appears that, subsequent to the
act of 1902 many settlers proceeded to
file entries and complete proof in ac
cordance with what they supposed to
be the law. The errors were due to
the failure of the local officials to com
ply with t&e orders of the general land
office. As a result many settlers were
subjected to hardships which the meas
ure passed proposed to remedy.
Stolen Jewelry.
Bold thieves secured about $500
worth jewelry from Hudson's store on
Nicollet ave, Minneapols. The thieves
aut a hole about afoot square in the
plate glass window and took eleven
diamond rings and seventeen watches.
The work was evidently done by ex
perienced men and a diamond was
used to cut the glass. The hole shows
that the men who made it knew their
business, for the edges were smooth.
Wolf er Will Remain.
N. F. Boucher of the North Dakota
penitentiary will not be warden of the
Minnesota penitentiary.
He accepted the appointment to take
the place of Warden Henry Wolver,
who desired to leave the position to gc
into business.
For some unexplained reason Mr.
Boucher has withdrawn his acceptance
of the position and the board of con
trol requested Warden Wolfer to con
tinue in his present capacity. He has
agreed to do so.

Speaking of Dairy Commissioner
Wrighfs boyhood days, which were
•pent in Waterloo, the Waterloo Daily
Courier says: "It was here he conned
his Latin and grappled with the knotty
Mary-Ann problems in algebra and
geometry, and it was here, when yet a
boy, while working out summers on a
nearby farm, that he acquired the am
bition to be something in the world.
While sitting with his head poked in
to the cow's side to escape the flag
ellation of the animal's energized tail
and while listening with one ear to the
merry tune that the tiny stream of
milk played on the shining tin and with
the other to what the animal DUCK of
him was doing, he dreamed that some
day he might yet be road supervisor or
school director and escape the fate of
men who went to congress or the peni
tentiary. He recalls now with a smile
how he change* the habits of the
calves from taking their meals tete-a
tete at their mother's side to that of
drinking from the pail and of the
buntings and sloppings of milk entail
ed in perfecting the change." And it
isn't much wonder, is it, that a man
who got his education both in Water
loo and on a Blackhawk county dairy
farm should turn out to be so much of
a success as a state dairy commis
sioner?

Dairy Cows In "Winter.
The change from pasture to winter
conditions is apt to be a trying one for
the dairyman. The cows do not take
kindly at first to the dry feed and con
sequently do not consume enough to
keep up the milk flow. If they are
turned out and compelled to range over
the pasture during severe storms the
result will be disastrous to the produc
tion of milk. The cows should be pro
vided with a well drained lot and some
sort of shed for shelter from the wind
and rain. For roughness the most pal
atable feed obtainable should be pro
vided and fed in mangers or racks.
Sorghum fodder or hay will be a most
acceptable feed for them, as it is very
juicy and succulent and will make the
change from pasture to dry feed less
abrupt. The shelter should be provided
by all means, whatever feed is obtain
able for roughness. The dairy cow,
with her thin covering of flesh, should
never be allowed to shiver along the
windward side of a barb wire fence.
It will pay in dollars and cents to make
the cow as comfortable as possible, for
every discomfort she is subjected to
wilj be evidenced hy a reduced flow of
milk, and it is almost impossible to
bring the flow back to the original
amount.
Hints About Milking.
A poor milker will spoil almost any
cow. In the mere process of milking
a great difference is made in the yield
of a dairy cow. The ability to bring
a cow to her largest yield varies with
milkers, says M. Farley in Farm and
Home. Owing to the fact that a large
proportion of a cow's milk is secreted
during the process of milking, it must
naturally follow that unless a cow is
in a quiet, contented state of mind and
satisfied with the milker the usual se
cretion of new supplies will not take
place.
It is generally owing to this cause
that cows often "hold up the milk," aa
it is termed. This cannot be obviated
so long as the cow is in a restless state
of mind and dissatisfied with her milk
er. It should be the aim of the milkei
to gain her good will by feeding those
things she is most fond of. It makes a
great difference in the milking quali
ties of a cow as to who her milker is
and how the milking is performed.
Concentrated Feeds.
Corn is the basis of several of the
best known concentrated feeds now on
the market. Gluten feed, corn oil cake
meal and gluten meal are all made
from the best feeding parts of corn
and in the process of manufacture are
rendered almost wholly digestible. Re
cent experiments both in this country
and Europe showed gluten feed to be
from 96 to 99 per cent digestible and
always reliable for feeding all kinds
of live stock, insuring the most eco
nomical gains. It matters not whether
the farmer is feeding for meat or milk
it is true economy to feed a ration
balanced with some of the digestible
corn concentrated feeds.—Dairy and
