Agree to Take No. 2 Wheat on Out- standing Contracts. Minneapolis, ..7~*? 24 —The North- western Consolidated Milling com- pany, by A. C. Loring, president, post- ed 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 of 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 at first had looked like the daring move 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 fmpossible to sell flour, necessitating the closing down of the mills. FEAR DRIVES HIM INSANE Wisoonsin Man Expected Death and ls Now in Asylum. Kenosha, Wis,, o pru. ov.—Nels Christensen waited all day for death, but was disappointed. It was the first of a long series of calamities prophe- sled for him which had failed of ful- fillment. Instead of death he was adjudged insane in the county court and removed to the state asylum for the insane at Mendota. Physicians who examined the man and heard his story are unanimous in declaring that he was driven to in- sanity by suggestion—that the direful prediction made by a fortune teller in Denmark to Nels just before his departure for the new country a year ago so preyed upon his mind that mad- ness resulted. A physical examina- tion showed the man to be in splendid condition and’' the most reasonable theory is that the mental breakdown is the result of fear. Christensen put in a terrible night at the jail. near he spent most of the time in vehement praying, his shouts being heard for blocks. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS.
