The Limited Trains Taken on.

The announcement has officially been
made that commencing Sunday in St. Paul
che goth inst, the limited trains between st.
Paul and Minneapolis and Chicago would be
taken off. The reason assign ed 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 1, to continue running
during the summer months. The chanc-
90 are. however, that the twin cities
OF tho Northwest will not for q long
time again enjoy the privilege Of
: twelve. hour train service. The
limited trains never paid. They were al
together experimental, and it. has been
eonclusively proven that they cannot be
made to pay unless the public viii! submit
to an extra tax OF at least 50 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-hali that number would easily :com-
modatethe present limited travel. e..

Beecher Says Socialism Is Only a Skin Disease.

Mr.. Beecher preached his usual Thanks
giving sermon in Plymoth church on Thurs
day. He referred to socialism as follows:
Socialism is only skin disease here.
For us the question is not whether
strikes, boycotting and labor leagues
are inconvenient, but whether in the
long run they threaten ! the peace
OF society. The uprising OF working.
men all over the world js a new, divine adj
vent. The space between the top and the
bottom OF society is lessening. At present
the labor movement ia unsorted and una
dulterated 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. 1t wou ldbe
benevolent to imprison them, They are
crazy and stand outside the pale OF hui
mainly az the wolf and the bear. The
labor party does not represent national
industry. Organized labor is in the main
the labor Of corporations. Corporations
will bear watching. and will be benefited
by it. Men have to learn that q paternal
government is dangerous. A paternal
government is an internal government the
world over and always. .<r& -

Through the Rapids 1t Niagara.

George Hazlett and Sadie Allen of Buffa-
10 went through the rapids and whirlpool
Sunday afternoon the 2Sth inst, in the
same barrel used by Hazlett last summer.
They were in the rapids and whirlpool five
minutes, and were taken out OF the eddy
on the Canadian,side just below the whirl-
pool, three-quarters OF an hour later. ~,
the Mist landing on the Canada side.
When the barrel reached the maelstrom it
shot right into the center ofthe 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 large eddy and
:bobbed around for hall an hour. Friends
near by shouted to the occupants OF the
barrel, when Hazlett opened q small door
on top OF the barrel and Frank Lawoon5
threw q rope from the shore which Hazlett
No danger was met with until the
suspension bridge and Contiveler
bridge were passed.. Here the

the barrel struck it it bounded about like

unable to open it, and the barrel circled
about in an eddy ut Thompson Point for
forty minutes before it could be brought
to shore. When the occupants Of the bar
