Reports on Experiments Conducted at the State Farm. • (Synopsis of Bulletin No. 102.) Most high grade wheat flours .are mere or loss yellow when freshly mill ed. This color slowly fades when the flour is stored In a well lighted place, hut 'even after several months ts still distinct. Formerly flour with a yellow tint was preferred, but now the mar ket demands the whitest possible pro duct. To meet this demand various bleaching processes have been exten sively Introduced Into tlie flour mills. All the processes, however, employ the same bleaching agent, nlftogen perox ide, some producing It by electrical and others by chemical means. Nebraska flours in general show an unusually strong yellow tint, and for that reason have been at a marked disadvantage is competition with many other flours. As would bh ' expected, the bleaching processes have been SR* tens! vely introduced into Nebraska mills. A large part Of the flour pro duced In this state at the present time Is bleaebed before being placed on the market. The millers who have titled bleachers are of tile opinion that they will be placed at a serious dis advantage if the present method of removing the yelolw tint of their bljil grade floury has to be abanOOfaed. Most of the large mills have installed bleaohers, although a few which had a well^^established trade ‘before the infcredflptioh of the'pxodebs still place their product upon the market in an Unbleached condition. Extraordinary advantages have been claimed for the bleached flours, In cluding an Increase In the nutritlvs groperties. an improvement in the eeping qualities and In the bread making properties; on the Other hand, they have been decried as containing substances Injurious to health, and possessing inferior bread-making prop erties. Some of the exploiters of the so-called electrical bleaching pro cesses have similarly condemned flours bleached by procosses fn which nitric acid is used. Three different classes are interest ed in the bleaching ot flour, vis., the consumers of the flour, the millers, .and .the manufacturers of bleaohers. The farmers who produce the wheat are interested in tho same way as the milters who manufacture the flour, be cause the higher the price the miller receives for his flour the more he is able to pay the farmer for his wheat. The consumers are anxious to know whether the quality of the flour Is improved or injured, and whether any thing Injurious to health is Introduced , during the bleaching process. They ,have no objection to the change of ihe natural color provided nothing 'harmful is added; as evidence of this J'S is only necessary to mention tho .almost universal use of butter coloring in this country. The millers who have installed bleachers are anxious to know the exact effect of the bleach ing process upon the Hour, and wheth er the amount of the bleaching agent that they are now using is objec tionably large. The manufacturers of bleachers arc anxious to find as many advantages and as few disadvantages as possible connected with the bleach ing of flour, in order that their ap paratus may be sold not only in re gions where the flours are decidedly 3'ellow, but also where the flour3 are comparatively white. Over 100 samples of freshli- manu factured flours from mills in various parts of the state were examined at the Nebraska Experiment Station. Some of the samples were from mills having no bleachers. Some were un bleached flours from mills having bleachers, and a large number were flours bleached at the mills. Of the lileaohed flours part were obtained from mills using electrical processes, and part , from those using chemical bleachers.' Bread was made from u large number of unbleached flours as well as from the same flours which lLad been bleached In different Nebras ka mills. As a result of the investigation the following conclusions are drawn: Bleaching as practiced by Nebraska millers neither injures nor improves t.he quality of flour. The color of the low grades is more unattractive after bleaching than before. No substance Is added in sufficient quantities to be injurious. It is possible, however, to use such large quantities of the bleach ing agent as to seriously injure the quality of the Hour. However, as the use of excessive amounts of the bleach ing agent likewise injures the color, and accordingly lowers the market value of the flour, there is little dan ger of millers intentionally overtreat :.ng their flours.

Fremont—Sheriff Bauman is ar ranging with other sheriffs and con stables and peace officers to hold a'' meeting here in the near future to' consider the adoption of some scheme to prevent horse stealing which is greatly on the increase in this part' of the state.

Sutton — The sale of Duroc-Jersey swine from the Golden Rod herd of Gilbert Van Patten at this place was one of the best of the season. The satisfactory average price of $76 was made, the top being $200, paid by Hopkln’s Brothers ft Sandsted, of At lanta and Holdrege, and T. J. Current, of Hildreth. Starving on Peanut Diet.

Applications filed by the Burlington, Rock Island, Northwestern and Union Pacific railroads for permission to raise tbe minimum weight of car-load shipments of lumber, grain and grain products from 24,000 to 30,000 pounds were denied by the railroad commis sion. A number of minor requests by different carriers were granted.

ANOTHER INTERNATIONAL BALLOON RACE. oerear #eete JOSEPH H. CHOATE CHOSEN ELECTED PRESIDENT OF CIVIL SERVICE REFORM LEAGUE. Resolutions Adopted Commending Roosevelt and Urging Congress to End Patronage Distrbution. Buffalo, N. Y. — The annual meet ing of the National Civil Service Reform league practically ended Fri day afternoon. A brief informal session will be held Saturday, after which the delegates will visit Niagara Falls. Joseph H. Choate was elected presi dent and resolutions were adopted commending President Roosevelt for “determined and effective enforce ment of civil service lav/s and rules,” and expressing satisfaction that con gress gives evidence of stronger sup port of the principles of the merit sys tem. The resolutions urge congress to tak6 further steps to relieve its mem bers entirely from the “unprofitable la bor of distributing patronage,” and urges the president and congress to provide for competitive classification of assistant postmasters, pension ex amining surgeons and fourth-class postmasters; also to provide that all other postmasters and all collectors of customs and Internal revenue shall be appointed by promotion, thereby abol ishing the present practice of appoint ing inexperienced persons. The president is urged to “make such amendments to the civil service rules as will reduce to the minimum the practice of making special excep tions thereto.” The policy of placing Indian agents in charge of an ap pointee classified under the competi tive system is approved. HITCHCOCK BACK ON STAGE. He and Wife Weep When Audience ' Cheers Him. New York. — Raymond Hitchcock, who gave himself up to the au thorities Wednesday, reassumed his role at the Astor theater Wednesday night and was given a demonstrative welcome. The actor looked haggard and ill, and bis voice was uncertain as he spoke his lines. Meantime, his wife, who plays opposite him, was in tears and with difficulty followed her cue. At tlje end of the second act the comedian stepped to the front of the stage and in a tremulous voice said: “I want to thank you all for your ap plause and encouragemenx. I hope I shall always deserve It” Upon Mrs. Hitchcock's second en trance the action called upon her to shake her husband’s band. As they stood there with hands clasped the cheers were deafening, and for a mo ment both performers seemed unable to continue. Then Miss Zabellc placed ter unengaged hand on her husband’s shoulder and kissed him. At thlB Hitchcock broke down completely and there were a good many wet eyes in the audience, too.

Flames on Docks Destroy Property Valued i * '.-»v Duluth, Minn., Nov. 9.—Fire which originated in elevator “A" of the Great Northern railroad in Superior, containing 600,000 bushels of grain, spread quickly, and before it was got under control destroyed property val ued at $4,000,000. The elevator was owned by the Great Northern railroad but was leased to the A. D. Thomson Grain company of Duluth. The sparks soon ignited the Grand Republic mill on Tower Bay slip, the great Lakes Dredge & Rock company dock and the Duluth-Superior Storage company which contained the finishing plant of the Webster Chair company. * The fire started at the southwest corner of the elevator “A” dock and before it was noticed had communi cated to the elevator. An alarm was turned in and four fire tugs respond ed, but owing to the intense heat they were driven out of the slip and de voted all their energies to saving the adjoining property. The steamers W. A. Parent and W. A. Rogers were in the elevator “A” slip loading wheat and the latter was to take out 300,000 bushels of wheat Saturday. The steamers Utica, Alva and Chili were on the opposite side of the slip at a merchandise dock and were pulled out by tugs to save them from destruc tion. The following structures were des troyed : Two Great Northern elevators, Minkota flour mill and elevator. Free man mill and elevator, Grand Republic mill and elevator. Commander mill and elevator, 20 dwellings, and sev-1 eral small warehouses lining the bay front. —-»—i>r GAVE HIS LIFE TO SAVE TOWN. Heroism of Mexican Engineer in Ex plosion at Nacozari, Ariz. Douglas, Ariz. — The death list as a result of the Nacozari explos ion Thursday is now placed at 14 or 15, all Mexicans, beside John Chis holm, aged 13, who was riding on the train when the explosion occurred. A train on the narrow gauge rail road to the Pilares mine in some way caught fire. In the train were two open cars heavily loaded with explos ives, and the fact that the concentrator and a good pert of the town of Naco zari were saved from ruin was due to the bravery of the Mexican engineer of the train, Jesus Garcia. Realizing that to cut hut the burning cars and escape on the engine would expose the town to probable destruction, he called to the rest of the crew to jump and started to run the train away from the town. He had taken it about a half mile when the explosion oc curred and he was blown to atomB. It is reported that another member of the crew stayed with him and was killed. The heavy, death list is due to the fact that the explosion occurred just as the train was passing a section house in which were a number of sec tion men. Convicted for Suicide Pact.

New York.—The leading New York ‘ banks were exerting themselves ac tively Friday to meet the demands .of their country correspondents and" de positors for currency. They declare that tile suggestions made from sev eral western sources that they are not meeting legitimate demands for currency from the west are entirely unfounded and that they are, on the contrary, taking every practicable measure to aid the west and south. One of these large banks, with sev eral thousand correspondents, has de pleted its reserve by about a quarter during the last few weeks to supply currency where it is most needed, and has made large shipments to banks in San Antonio, Galveston, Memphis, . Mobile, Atlanta and other southern points. The country banks have been allowed to draw down their balances to a point wbieh-affords in many eases hardly more than enough to meet the drafts sold in the ordinary course of business. They have brought paper for rediscount to their New York cor respondents in large amounts and the principal difficulty of the New York banks has come from the demand for currency to be shipped against the balance created by these rediscounts. It is admitted that the cotton move ment is seriously checked by the lack of small bills and silver to pay the small growers and by the inability of the southern banks to handle the Im mense volume of business accumulat ing at southern, points. The grain shipments are in better shape, owing to the geld secured by the banks of Minneapolis for paying cash in New York on grain bills. The stream of surplus gold pouring into New York has not been halted here to meet local demands, but is be ing allowed to flow through the finan cial arteries of the United States and relieve the needs of agriculture aud other industries generally. Gold im porters state that nearly all of the 121,000,000 which has already reached here will soon find its way to every quarter of the country. SANTA FE FINED $330,000. Road Found Guilty of Rebating Re ceives Its Punishment. Los Angeles, Cal. — Judge Olin Wellborn in the United • States district court Thursday fined the Atch lBon, Topeka & Santa Fe company $330,000 for rebating. The fine was what the court denominated “an inter mediate penalty,” the maximum which might have been assessed being $1, 320,000 and the minimum $66,000. The Santa Fe company was con victed on October 11 last by a jury in the federal court of granting rebates to the Grand Canyon Lime and Ce ment company of Arizona. It was found guilty of all the 66 eounts charged in the indictment after but an hour’s deliberation. The rebates, which were given oa shipments of lime and cement from Nelson, Arizona, to Los Angeles, ranged in amounts from 35 cents to $15.
