EY|NG EACH OTHER.
Kenyon's Hatchet Failed to
Get In It's Deadly Work
Yesterday.
The Milwaukee Makes a Little
Move to Protect It's Local
Traffic.
And The 500 Reyises the
Reduced Tariff Previously
Announced.
Otherwise The Day Was Spent
in Railroad Men Watching
Each Other.
The 500 road yesterday issued re-
vised tariff, which will be put into ef-
feet Monday. From this NAV be quoted:


The rates to Portland and other
Maine points are So lower than those
quoted from Chicago. No move was
made yesterday by any other St Paul
Chicago lines in retaliation for the
action of the 500. 1t was proven few
months ago that. unless backed by the
Eastern lines, the st. Paul Chicago roads
are Dowerless in competing for Eastern
business with the Soc line, for the lat
ter will, at all risk, maintain the differ
ential which it claims the right to en-
force. The action of the 500, therefore,
may be looked upon as merely
protective one, and that any further
reduction In the rate between St. Paul
and Chicago must be expected from
something arising out of the differences
existing among tn est. Paul-ChicagO
lines. The only notice of reduction
among these lines was male by the Mill
waukee. Assistant General Passenger
Agent Dixon announcing s. tirst-class
rate to Milwaukee The present rate is
by the s. first-class and s. spcUnd-clasS
rate from Chicago TO st. Paul aud vice
versa. The Omaha road has agreed
with the Milwaukee to stand by
S. first-ciass and S3 second
class rate from Chicago to St
Paul. while the other roads cut at
So first-class. 1t was hoped by the Mil
waukee people that the Omaha officials
would also refuse to go below S5 first
class and IS secGnd-class, from st. Paul
to Chicago, but this they declined to do,
and it is for that reason the Milwaukee
road is Qnoting So rate to Milwaukee.
They were compelled to do this TO pro-
tect their Milwaukee business, the
Omaha S3 first-clasS being good through
Milwaukee. The situation between st.
Paul and Chicago may be stated as fol-
lows: A So tirSt-claSS rate each way be-
tween the two cities will go into effect
Sunday, over the Burlington. Kansas
City, minneapolis & st. Louis and Wis
consin; a S. frst-ciasS from Chica-
go, and So first-elass from ST.
Paul over the Omaha, and s. first
class rate either way over the hlilwau-
kee. Tfe rates quoted to Kansas City,
ST. Louis and other points are in hope
less mass OF confusion, and perhaps the
sooner the officials get down to business.
settle their differences and adopt rates
which will place their individual ruads
on a paying basis the better it will he
for every one. There are many people
who think that a 81 or even a 5O-cent
frst-class rate will be made between
st. Paul and Chicago, but this is ex-
tremely doubtful. The best posted
railroaders are of opinion that the limit
has been reached, and with the sum
mer traffic advancing the passenger
men OF the disgruntled roaiIS will be
eager to arrive at some amicable under
standing, whereby the rates can be
maintained at a paying basis.

revolver at her breast, exclalming, in a
playful manner, ''lOOk out" He
snapped the weapon three times and

o'clock became violent and secured pos
session of a shotgun which was

occasions had been bruIally attacked by
him, became alarmed and attempted to
leave the house. Moeller observed this
and remarked, mo you DON'T; you can't
slip through my nngers this time" The
woman sprang through e door, fol-
lowed by her husband, who, standing
on the steps of his residence, fired di-
rectly at her. She reeled tor moment,
then recovered herself, and succeeded
in reaching the house of neighbor.
MoeIler reloaded his gun and after
additionally arming himself with large
dirk, locked himself in his room and
swore he would kill the first man who
approached him. 1t was nearly an hour
before the police succeeded in arresting
MIN. While officers attracted his atteu-
ton to front door, Chief OF Police
Meade climbed through rear entrance
and seized M0eller. who still held the
gun and dirk. The chief sustained sew
eraI slight cuts on the hands and arms.

CHAMBERLAIN, S. D., May 16.-The

While they do not feel that the state
ticket can be elected at the coming
election, they do expect. and with good
reason, that the Republican majority
will be cut in half, and that it will
speedily be wiped out entirely. The
Republican party of this state has taken
upon itself the guardianship Of prohi-
