start. The collections are made every
Monday morning immediately after
the opening of the school. A tap on
the bell, the teachers gets out the roll
book, and, as she calls the names, the
pupils call out the amounts Of money
they want to deposit, each in turn
stepping up to the desk with money
and book in hand. The teacher takes
the money and records the amount on
the pupils card and in her own book.
After the money has been all collect

OLYMPIA, W. T., Aug. 21.-The con-
vention has practically disposed of its
business, except the schedule, and adj
journment is probable tomorrow. This
morning the article on school lands was
passed, and they are to be sold as pro-
vided in the enabling act for not less
than $40 per acre to the highest bidder.
The troublesome tide land question was
voted down repeatedly, every time an
effort was made to introduce the sub
ject. Finally. after ten or fifteen diff
ferently worded substitutes on the sub
ject had been introduced and defeated,
vote was taken on confirming United
States patents, covering in part the tide
lands, and they were confirmed. Also
another section of the sovereignty, and
ownership of the state of all
the tide lands, was passed, and as
these two sections confiicted, there is
no telling what the ultimate result will
be. These two sections were added to
the schedule. but the convention Subse-
quently referred these articles to COM
mittee, with instructions to separate
them from the schedule, and report as
separate articles. This will probably
lead to their defeat, as many persons
would have voted for them rather than
to have endangered the schedule. A

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-At the meeting
of the Western and Northwestern divi-
sions of the Western Freight associa-
ton to-day the Chicago st. Paul & Kan
sas City road gave notice that it would
apply the 15-cent scale of proportional
rates on through traffic from the sea-
board to all intermediate points on its
line instead of confining them to st.
Paul and Minneapolis traffic. This
compllcates the situation and gives the
Western roads fresh problem to solve.
The Iowa Central also filed notice of its
intention to establish rates from Peoria
to st. Paul and intermediate points on
business originating at Buffalo and
other western termini of the trunk lines
on the same basis as established from
Chicago to st. Paul. The action of
these two roads cuts the rates to Iowa
points on through business from points
east of Chicago. The change in the sit
uatiOn caused by these notices proved
fertile subject for dissention. but no
conclusion was reached at the hour of
adjournment, and the matter will be
further considered Tomorrow

p. Hogan Falls Three Stories to
His Death.


A couple of pedestrians passing along
Jackson street in front of the Economy
hotel last night about IL o'clock, stum-
bled across the body of a man, which
lay prostrate, face downward, on the
pavement. The sidewalk for several
feet around was literally covered with
blood, and long stream of the GRIM
son fluid which had found its
way to the gutter showed that
the unfortunate man was fearfullys
mangled. The policeman on the beat
was notified, and in the absence of
Coroner Quinn, DR.. Gurney was called.
When an examination was made of the,
body life was found to be extinct. The
unfortunate mans face was smashed
out of recognition, and his neck broken.
There were also injuries to the body
which must have proved fatal in any
event. The most diligent inquiry
failed to establish anything as
to where the dead man was
from, all that could be learned'
being that his name, as shown on the
register of the Economy hotel, was P.
Hogan, and that he last evening went

rolled out of the window from his bed,

THEY DO NOT AGREE.
North Dakota's Constitution and
the Enabling Act Clash.


GRAND FORKS. Dak., Aug. 21.-A
sensation was produced here yesterday
when the lawyers discovered a serious
difference between the constitution and
the enabling act passed by congress.
All state institutions were located in
the constitution, and the public lands
granted by congress were divided.
Lawyers find that congress specifies
that the legislature shall locate in5titu
tions and divide the lands. Unless the
constitution is voted down, it is quite
probable that North Dakota will not
receive the public lands from the fed
eral government.
IT'S HOARY CHESTNUT.
Special to the Globe.
BISMARCK, Dak., Aug. 21.-There is
considerable comment here over the re-
ported discovery of two Grand Forks
lawyers that the clause in the cOnStitu-
ton locating the public institutions is
in conflict with the enabling act. The
fact is the matter was discussed here
for many days and the measure was
finally drawn in accordance with the
views of two of the best lawyers in
Minneapolis and st. Paul. The ''man-
ner" of selling the lands, time, price,
ETC., is left to the legislature by the
enabling act, and also by the constitu-
ton. That the legislature is not the
body that appropriates the land granted
is apparent from the language Of the
act itself. which gives to certain inSti-
tutions specific number of acres of
land. This direction the constitution
follows and in no way is it repugnant

COOLEY ON COMPETITION.
The Chairman of the Interstate
Commission Concludes His In
yestioatiOnS,

FeStISatIOnS.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-HOn. Thomas W.
Cooley, chairman of the Interstate com
merce commission, returned to-day
from a tour of the Northwest. He has
visited st. Paul, Portland, Or, San
Francisco, San Jose, and while return
ing, various cities on the Union Pacific.
The "trip was made in the interest of
the commissions work, and included
the investigation of various railway
matters, concerning which Judge Cooley
is not yet ready to speak.
81 am of the opinion" he said this even
ing at the Palmer House, "that generally, at
ton of far Western and Northwestern roads
is better than that of the Eastern roads,
Canadian competition Is sharp. and has led
to trouble, but it is not as bad as it is in the
East"
Speaking of the work of Senator Cullom's
committee On railway relations with Canada,
Judge Cooley said:
'.The attitude of the Chicago board Of
trade in its defense of the Canadian low rate
was surprise to me. There is no question
does not benefit Chicago. 1t is this facility
that the Canadian roads have that Is build
ing up Northwestern towns ike Minneapolis,
st. Paul and Duluth, to the detriment of
chicago. Ile same low rate tndt is Deneft-
ting Chicago shippers is also helping
these towns. The merchants of the North
west know this, and have no doubt they
are glad to see the local board take the stand
it did. In the end it will hurt Chicago. 1t
hurts the railways of this country, and any
thing tending to damage them must also
affect this city, which is so largely made by
them What Chicago should do.'' said
Judge Cooley, lis to help the roads; build
them up and strengthen them. If affairs are
in bad state now they ought to be improved
by mutual effort If railways of this country do
not make shippers as low a rate as Canadian
roads. think 1t is because they cannot, and
it will only make matters worse to encourage
Canadian trade that will hurt them still more.
American roads will make the best rate they
can, and 1t is to Chicago's interest to meet
them half way. Encouraging anything else
is only aiding rivals OF Chicago in the ship
