N~oo y
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-JudgeC Cooley,
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission, has rendered his resigna-
tion. This letter has just been received
here:
ANN ARBoR, Mich, Sept. 4, 1891
E. A. Mosely, Secretary-My Dear Sir:
I have had within the last few days
quite a serious relapse, which, though I
have in some degree recovered from it,
I think renders it imperative that I
should resign my commission as inter-
state commerce commissioner, and I
have therefore sent my resignation to
the president. I greatly regret the ne.
cessity of withdrawing from the COM
mission, but feel that my duty to the
public, as we'll as to myself, under the
circumstances, demands it. I shall
ever cherish, with liveliest sentiments
of affection and respect, the recollection
of my association with you while my
connection with the commission con-
tinued. Very respectfully,
THOMAS NJ. COOLEY.
Judge Cooley was appointed by Presi-
dent Cleveland at the organization of
the commission for a term Of six years.
At the first meeting of the commission,
March 81, he was unanimously chosen
chairman by his associates.

Removal Mt Crookston.

CRooKsroN, Mimi. Sept. S.-H. 81.
Dickinson was today supplanted as
register in the United States land Office
here by the appointment of Hugh
Thompson. If a dynamite bomb had
exploded in the vicinity it could not
have occasioned greater surprise. Mr..
Dickinson has always, so far as known.
given entire satisfaction in the position,
and the removal is looked upon as
purely q political one. He wa ever q
careful, painstaking officer, and had
brought the office up to q high standard.
Owing to Mr.. Dickinson's absence from
the city it is impossible to ascertain his
views ON the matter.

The DavI. WIN Jury Fnll to Asree.

Tho Davis Will Jury Fail to Agree.
BUTTE, Mont, Sept. 9.-After four
days confinement in their room the jury
in the Davis will case was brought into
court today, and on being asked for
their verdict said through their foreman
that they could not agree. It is learned
ant. The Knight will was eliminated
from their deliberations. 1t is said the
evidence of Judge Knowles had the eff
feet of bringing this about, as he is a
man who stands high in this commu
nifty, and Colonel Ingersoll took a few
shots at him in his address that preju.
diced the jury in the judges favor.

The Elevator Charge. Cases.

GRAND FORKS. N. D., Sept. 9.-The
cases against the elevator companies
came up today before Judge Templeton.
The one against the National Elevator
90. for refusal to take in farmers wheat
at Thompson and ship it, under the new
elevator regulations. was dismissed,
owing to a fatal error in the specifca.
tions. The other case. against the Min
neapolis & Northern 90. for refusing to
handle wheat at the charges fixed by
railroad commissioners, was continued
until Monday. The cases will probably
be appealed, no matter which way the
decision may be, and there is a harvest
ahead for the lawyers.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
GRAND FORKS, N. D.. Sept. Ain
the case of Carr VS.. The National Ele.
vator Co., Judge Templeton this morn
ing quashed the writ of alternate man
damus, and holds that the elevators, un-
der the laws of North Dakota, cannot
be compelled to engage in the storage
business unless they so choose. That
the laws of 1890. under which grain in
spectors are appointed, has no applica.
bility to elevators at other than terminal
points. The opinion of the attorney
general seems to be r%epudiated by the
court, and the work Of the inspectors is
ended and the Offices practically abol-
ished. The plaintiff expected this and
gave notice of appeal.

Laid to Rest.

The remains of 8. s. Avery arrived in
the city yesterday morning, accom-
panied by his brother. As the body
had been in the water for some days it
was not in a fit state for exposure, and
the proposition to allow his many
friends to take q last look at his feat.
ures had to be abandoned. The same
reason made it impossible to use a
hearse on account of the size of the
casket.
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. w. 81. Van Horn at the Bap-
fist Church. in the presence of q large
audience. The preacher took for his
text the passage from the gospel of st.
John, LET not your heart be troubled,
ye believe also in me-" He alluded to
the deceased as needing no words of
eulogy from him, as all Of these present
were familiar with his kindly spirit, his
integrity and his manly and
upright conduct. In his walk
through life he had won the respect of
all who came in contact with him by his
uniform kindness and willingness to
help those in need of any kind. He was
born in Augusta, Me-, in 1859, and
while yet a young man became promi.
nent in business circles among his
townsmen. Besides his brother, who
was here to mourn with Us today, he
left q brother in Boston and two sisters
in Maine. It had been his privilege to
have paid many visits to the deceased,
and to be intimately acquainted with
him, and though he was not a member
of their church. he was q constant at
tendant and q liberal contributor.
To the sorrowing friends he would
say in the word of the passage of scrip
ture which he had read: LET not
your heart be troubled" Instead of
looking upon death as a sad and gloomy
thing, we must remember that il is but
the gateway through which all must
pass to reach the many mansions pre-.
pared for us in that better and brighter
world, where we hope to meet him
again.
After some beautiful singing by Mrs.
Buckbee and q male quartette, the pro.
cession was formed for the cemetery, q
large number Of friends in carriages ac-
companying the remains. There were
q number Of beautiful floral offerings
which the greenhouse of A. r. Shot
well had been taxed to supply. among
them being floral pillow with the in
itials of the deceased from his comrades
in the Standard Oil Co.'s. Office, and a
beautiful Coates Ajar" from his fellow
boarders at Mrs.. Swarts'.

A Bright Young Lady

Who edits q special department in one of

was lately delegate to gathering ofrep-
resentatiye ladies, held at a point on THE

ton, and the journey to and fro she writes
to her paper. Rasss-aesag .
"a very pleasant ride to Winona was en-
joyed, which was greatly due to the super
Tor accommodations and excellent man
agement of 1.-THE Burlington" The con-
ductors and trainmen were very courteous.
A better route could not have been chosen;
the road was smooth and the chair cars
gave one almost the ease of a
home. The road wound. in and out
in gentle curves, now along the
banks of the flowing river, then dashing
between tall bluffs, or running along by
ripping brooks, which constantly afforded
the travellers varied and delightful scenery.
Before leaving the cars the ladies fastened
to the bell rope neat card tied with the
white ribbon and bearing the words: 'Ac-
acknowledgements of the State w. G. T. U.
Convention, Winona, Sept. 1-5' All GER

THE CARS sHoT-PRooF CAR

How the Emperor Of Russia Travels
Among His Loving Subjects.
When the car travels in Russia the
precaution taken for his safety could
not be greater were he in the enemy's
country, says the Philadelphia Tele-
graph. A battalion of infantry is de-
tailed for every two miles of distance,
and allowing 500 men as the strength
of each battalion, every spot Of
ground on both sides of the track Is
covered by sentinels within easy
distance. of each other. The car is
suddenly whirled off to the station &C
companied by the chosen twelve of his
body guard, without pomp or circum-
stance, swiftly and silently. The car
always travels in q train of FIVE car
riages. His carriage is built in a
peculiar way. ........ -r. ..s.,. ..s
The windows, while ample for light,
are high, SO that q person sitting down
is invisible from the outside. and the
sides of the car are fortified with
plates of steel. concealed in the orna-
mental woodwork, but amply strong
to resist a bullet. There are two
sentry boxes in the carriage, one at
each end, and each looking out at an
opposite side from the other. The
guardmen on duty in these apart
ments are shut in from any observa-
tion of the interior of the carriage, but
at intervals of about two feet the
whole length of the saloon are electric
buttons communicating with the
guard chambers, as well as with the
two carriages, one containing the
suite and the other, in the rear, occu-
pied by the guardmennot on duty. So
far as the tram itself is concerned, the
car could be no more secure in St.
Petersburg.
The train speeds on to it's destina-
ton without a halt, accept on &C.
count of accident. At the distance Of
not less than five miles ahead is q
pioneer train. in which the imperial
director of railways and the chief en-
gineer of the particular railway on
which the car is travelling always
ride. As the pilot train. whizzes by
the reserves along the line rush to
arms and guard the sides of the rail-
way, waiting until the imperial train
was passed, so that the spectacle is
presented of continuous lines of sol
diery for hundreds of miles,, Arrived
at the end of his journey, the car is
escorted to the quarters intended for
the.imperial family. aikf
The streets are guarded by special
constables in the attire OF citizens.
Every property owner has been called
upon to supply one or more of
these men othis own expense to do
duty when the sovereign makes apub-
| lie appearance. The constables aver
age one in ten of the crowd that
throngs the streets, and being in or

haps, do something that will obtain
