The Limited Trains Taken on.

The announcement has officially been
made that co mmencing Sunday in St. Paul
the goth inst. the limited trains between st.
Paul and Minneapolis and Chicago would be
taken off. The reason assig ned was that
there was not business enough to warrant
the running OF these trains during the win
ter months. The order withdrawing the
trains said that they would probably be
put on again April I, to continue running
during the summer months. The chanc-
es are, however, that the twin cities
OF the Northwest will not for a long
time again enjoy the privilege OF
a twelve.hour train service. The
limited trains never paid. They were al
together experimental, and it has been
conclusively proven that they cannot be
made to pay unless the public will submit
to IN extra tax OF ut least So or So. In
Guiding the limited trains there are now
running between the cities mentioned four.
teen trains during the week and twelve on
Sunday. This is altogether too many, for
one.half that number would easily :com-
modatethe present limited travel.

C0ntesting Titles to Superior CITY.

A Milwaukee dispatch says: Papers have
been served in Il suit involvih ing 100 acres
in the heart of Superior City. Wis. The
land is valued at $500, 900, and is
covered with costly improvements.
The suit is remarkable one in
that the defendants number MANY
men OF national repute, or their
heirs. The title in dispute dates back to
1906. when shrewed spectators pre.empted
the lands by using half breed 'Chippewas
an dummy" residents to obtain title from
the government. These men conveyed the
property twice, the second purchaser, how
ever. recording his conveyance first.
The present litigation is to determine the
strength OF these respective titles. In
those early days, when thu white men and
halibreeds allies were driving their sharp
practices, syndicate was formed, divid-
Ing their estate, actual and prospective.

holders were Stephen A. Douglas and J ohm
G. Breckenridge, it comprising eghty-six
defendants. The action ia brought Nv
twelve plaintiffs, nearly all OF whom reside
at Superior.

Through the Rapids at NIAGARA.

minutes, and were taken out OF the eddy

When the barrel reached the maelstrom it
shot right into the center Of the pool, max
Ing two or three turns. Leaving there, the
barrel followed the current out toward the
Canadian shore and down to the outlet Of
the pool, where it got into a large eddy and
bobbed around Tor half an hour. Friends
near by shouted to tho occupants OF the
barrel, when Hazlett opened a small door
on top OF the barrel and Frank Lnwoon
threw rope from the shore which Hazlett
secured, and the barrel was lowed ashore.
No danger was met with until the
suspension bridge and Contivelcr
bridge were passed. Here the
hrst great wave was met and when
the barrel struck it it bounded about like
a cork, and was then fairly rushed along.

giving sermon in Plymoth church on Thurs
day. He referred to socialism as follows:
Socialism is only u skin disease here.
For us the question is not whether
strikes, boycotting and labor leagues
are incouve"ent, but whether in the
long run they threaten the peace
of society. The uprising OF working
men all over the world is a new, divine adj
vent. The space between the top and the
bottom OF society is lessening. At present
the labor movement is unsorted and una.
dulteratcd with elements which it will finally
reject. 1t is an arena for socialists com.
munists and anarchists who flock
to any new movement. The anarch-
lists want society devastated and
then let it sprout again anew. It wou ldbe
benevolent to i,nprison them. They are
crazy and stand outside the pale OF hu.
mainly as the wolf and the bear. The
labor party does not represent national
industry. Organized labor is in the main
the labor OF corpora tions. Corporations
will bear watching. and will be benefited
by it. Men have to learn that paternal
government is dangerous. paternal

Fighting Pups for the President.

a despatch from Washington a few
DAYS ago, says, when the President
entered the East Parlor a few days
ago to receive and shake hands with
two or three hundred people he took
his stand in the centre of the room.
A number of the people had been
there a good while before the Presi-
dent entered. One elderly gentle
man. said to be Virginian of aFirst
Family, was among the earliest to
arrive. He had with him two very
we'll bred pointer pups, which he said
he had brought to present to the
President. The old man met with
some opposition at the door in get
ting his pups passed in, but finally
succeeded. On entering the parlor
be seated himself in an easy chair
with . pup on either knee. When the
President entered the proud Virgin
ian took place in the line with a pup
in each arm. Just before reaching
the President the pups began to quar-
rel, and in less time than it takes to
write it genuine dog fight was in
progress The owner in his excite
ment dropped the belligerents to the
floor, where they continued their hos
tilities until they had rolled over be-
tween the Presidents feet. The dogs
were quickly taken out of the room
with the owner following After the
reception an effort was made to al
low him to make the present, but the
doors were barred, and the pups were
taken back to Virginia.

The entire Republican Ticket

dealers in Juniata were
eagerly against him. A
number of the old fusion Re-

and considerable number of
Temperance Republicans were
against him. With such an ar
ray of interests how could the
Judge successfully stem the tide.
