EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISES"

In the district court yesterday Judge
Lochren decided a point which has some
bearing upon the rights of the city coun-
Gil to grant a franchise to Anderson &
Douglas. Certain parties who hold an
exclusive franchise granted by the
county commissioners for ferry at
Bloomington, asked for all Injunction
against building bridge at that point
as it would destroy the business their
franchise had been granted to pro-
tect. Judge Lochren held that the
county commissioners did not have the
power, without an enabling act from
the legislature, to grant franchise,
that all that had been granted was
simply license. The same point was
presented at the recent street railway
fight, although it was kept well hidden
for some reason. The council has not
the power to grant franchise to ALI
derson 81 Douglas or any one else, and
could only give license. The at
torneys on both sides, used the express.
sion franchise" and most people be-.
lieved that the power was in the council
to grant it. 1t was the strongest point III
in favor of Anderson d Douglas, that
they were asking only privilege which
would give them standing IN court
and enable them to test the exclusive
franchise, so called, of the street rail-
way. which was granted by the legis-,
lature. and not the council Still. very
little attention was called to it, and it
was swallowed up i'll the mass OF argu-
mentS pro and con.

ANOTHER DIsAPPEARANCE.
This Time Arthur j. Gilman Fails
to Appear.

When County Attorney Jamison gave
no tice that witne sses could not be got
ten out of the way in the second case
against Edwin NJ. Helm. he evidently
reckoned without his host. When the
name of Arthur J. Gilman was called as
witness yesterday after noon in the
municipal court he failed to respond.
Assistant County Attorney Briggs ex-
planned that Gilman was the witness
by whom the state expected to prove
that Helm was guilty with the wife of
F. P. Clark. Gilman is employed as a
porter at Shelley & Quick's saloon on
Hennepin avenue, and had made a
statement to the county attorney,
upon which the warrant for Helms
arrest had been drawn. Now he
was mysteriously absent, and had prob
ably been induced to leave the city, al
though he had baen duly subp9naed.
He thought the state was warranted in
asking continuance of two weeks. To
this the attorney fer the defense OBJ
jected strenuously. but Judge Mahoney
finally granted continuance To Friday,
Aug. 8, at 2 p. m, when the eXamlna-
ton will probably be held, if somebody
does not steal the Judge. The peculiar
ity of the disappearance of witnesses
against Helm i'll both cases of seduction
and adultery has created great deal OF
talk, and it is likely some one will be
up for contempt of court before the
matter is settled.

decision which will allow the county

Joined the commi ssioners and asked the
court for permanent restraining in
junction, but Judge Smith did not see
fit to grant it. He said that the right
by which they held the ferry, was a IL
cense granted by the commissioners
and not franchise given by the legis-
lature, and therefore was not binding
as far as the legislature was concerned.
He held, too, that the bridge was for
the good of the community, and as it
did not put physical restraint on the
plaintiffs business, it was right that it
should be built

investigated, the committee finding
them to be without foundation.

BREAD AND FRUIT.
S ONE Suggestions in Favor of
VeoetabIe Over Animal Food.

ONE Suggestions in Eav0r or
Vegetable Over Animal Food.
The food which is most enjoyable,
writes aphysician in LOngman's Maya
zine, is the food we call bread and fruit.
In my long medical career. extending
over forty years, have rarely known
an instance in which child has not
preferred fruit to animal food. have
been many times called upon to treat
children for Stomachic disorders in
duced by pressing upon them animal
to the exclusion of fruit diet, and have
seen the best results occur from the
practice of reverting to the use of fruit
in the dietary. l say it without the
least prejudice, as lesson learned from
simple experience, that the most natural
diet for the young after the natural
milk diet is fruit and whole-meal bread,
with milk and water for driIk The
desire for this same mode of sustenance
is often continued into after years, as
if the resort to flesh were a forced and
artifi G al feeding, which required long
and persistent habit to establish as
permanency, as a part OF the system of
everyday life.
How strongly this preference taste
for fruit over animal food prevails is
shown by the simple fact of the reten-
ton of those foods i'll the mouth. Fruit
is retained to be tasted and relished.
Animal food, to use common phrase,
is ''bolted." There is natural desire
to retain the delicious fruit for full
maStication: there is no such desire, eX-
cept IN the trained gOurmand, for the
retention of animal substance.
One further fact which | have OBJ
served-and that too often to discard it
as fact of great moment. is that
when person of mature years has, for
a time. given up voluntarily the use of
animal food in favor of vegetable, the
sense of repugnance to animal food is
soon so markedly developed thai re-
turn to it is overcome with the ut
most difficulty. Neither is this a mere
fancy or fad peculiar TO sensitive men
or Over-sentimental women. | have
been surprised to see it manifested in
men who are the very reverse of senti-
mental, and who were, in fact. quite
ashamed to admit themselves guilty of
any such weakness. L have heard those
who have gone over from mixed diet
of animal and vegetable food to a pure
vegetable diet speak of feeling low un-
der the new system, and declare that
they must needs give it up in conse-
auence; but | have found even these
without exception declare that they
infinitely preferred the simpler, purer,
and, as it seemed to them, more natural
food plucked from the prime source of
food. untainted by its passage through
another animal BODY.

HEGMAN SASS ED" HALL.
A Defendant Who Believed in
Bulldozing.

Lou Hegman, shabby-looking fellow
who claims to represent the National
Ink company. of New York. was before
Judge Mahoney yesterday on job lot
of charges that are likely to get
him into considerable trouble. The
first charge is that of swindling
lad named August Sauke
who paid him $3.50 'as security" Heg-
man having engaged him to an agent.
Hegman then refused to give him work.
The second charge is that of assaulting
the boy because the latter insisted on
the return of the money, and the third
is that he resisted the officer who ar
rested him.
Hegman made some uncOmplimentary
remarks to Assistant City Attorney A.
H. Hall in court yesterday, referring
contemptuOusly to the latter's auburn
tresses, and insinuating that he (Heg-
NAM would fool him (HalD before he
got through with him. The case was
continued until to-day to allow the state
to get more witnesses.

Total cost of producing and market
inn ono nnra of 1uhGnI in Daknta 6


ing one acre OF wheat in Dakota. 81 10
The items on which the Dakota
farmer maintains his advantage over
Michigan i'll raising grain crops are
numerous. The interest on land, that
is so much cheaper here, is so nearly g
less per acre. The straw as it is util-
lied here IS fully worth the item of
manures. The decreased cost of plOW-
ing large areas makes another very
material reduction in cost, as does the
expense of harvesting, threshing. etc.,
which can be accomplished under the
most favorable circumstances here.
where wheat farming is still SO exten-
sively carried on.
1t is seen, then, that 1t costs only
about one-half as much to produce an
acre of wheat in Dakota as in Michigan,
OH farms of equal size. Estimating the
yield to be the same in Dakota as re-
ported in that state for the past five
years land we claim that figures would
show larger average yield here, the
evidence goes to show that in the pro-
ductiOn of wheat Dakota stands pre-
eminently ahead.
Since the above was written, E. NJ.

raiser in Trail county. called in the
