The $12 Rate, Chicago to Dem
YER and Return, Promptly
Met on ALI Sides.
Interested Roads Post the Cut
Rate, and Will Push the
Fight.
Angry Competitors Alleged
to Mediate Revenge on
the AtchisOn.
Possibility That Northwest
ern Roads May Get Into
the Middle.

ST. Louis, July 22.-The opening gun
has been fired in what will probably re-
suit i'll the liveliest rate war that West
ern railroads have engaged in for some
years. The announcement that the
Santa Fe and San Francisco lines had
made rate of s12 from Chicago and st.
Louis to Denver and return was made
public this morning, and was quickly
followed by similar action on the part
of the Missouri Pacific, Chicago IL Alton
and Wabash railroads. Each of these
roads has posted the Sl2 rate, and it is
intimated that the war may be carried
into Africa"
The action of the Santa Fe is regarded
as unca!led for and is in violation OF the
Western Traffic association agreement.
This violation nulifieS all contracts.
and it will not be surprising if compel
ing lines will inaugurate rate war to
the West. South and Southwest that will
exceed the rate war of former years. A
meeting of the Western Traffic associa-
ton is being held in Chicago today to
consider the causes leading up to the
Santa FEES cut rate.

AFTER THE ATCHISON.
Angry Competitors Reported in
Desperate Earnest.

Angry Competitors Reported in
Desperate Earnest.
CHIC AGO, July GA special meeting
of the Western Passenger association
was convened today to consider the ac-
ton of the Atchison road in making a
rate of Sl2 to Denver and return on ac-
plar. The proposed cOnferenc e was cut
short by the announce ment of
Chairman Caldwell that he could not
accept the AichisOn' notice of reduc-
ton, because ii was not accompanied by
the necessary evidence showing justti-
cation for such course. Thereupon
tine representative of the AtchiSOn said
lie would submit to the chairman an
amended notice supplying the OmiS-
sion. In order that he might have
ample time in which to do this, the
meeting adjourned until tomorrow.
Thus the matter stands this evening.
All sorts of rumors are current. One is
to the effect that the angry competitors
of the AtchisOn will try to force that
road out of the Western Passenger As
SOciatlOn and will then combine to de-
mOraliZe rates OH its western lines. 1t
limited that the Rock Island, the Mis-
souri, Pacific and the Union Pacific will
unite in a movement TO destroy
the AtchisOn'S local rates in Kan
sas by making a rate of $40 or
lower as far west as Dodge City. Larned,
Great Bend, Wichita, Emporla and other
competitive points, and slashing the
through rate from Southwestern Mis-
soun river points to Denver. Another
scheme is to apply the SIP rate to Den
yer and return by way IF st. Paul, thus
bringing the Northern Pacific anu Great
Northern into the fight, and extending
the decentralization into the Northwest
ern territory.
Just what will be done can only be
told after tOmOrrOw'S meeting. 1t does
not seem probable that there is any
serious desire on the part of the other
members to drive the Atchlson out of
the association. Having permitted the
Alton to go out they can ill afford to
lose any more of their members unless
they are looking for an excuse to dis
solve the association. 1t Is among the
possibilities that the AtchisOu will with
draw of its own accord. Should the
chairman decide after hearing the evil
dence, that the company is not justified
in making the proposed reduction, it
must either withdraw, appeal to arbitra-
ton or forego the pleasure of putting
the Sl2 rate into effect.

Treated Him Badly,

John Murphy is a young fellow whom
Gov. Merriam just pardoned out of the
state reformatory at st. Cloud. He was
sent there for implication in a forgery
case and was pardoned out because of
good behavior. After serving seven
months he was given a six months
parole. reporting at the reformatory
once every month. as is customary. He
did not report one month, however, so
he was apprehended by detective and
taken back. 1t was during the time he
served after being taken back that
Murphy says he was treated brutally
and cruelty. He comes back with a tale
of horrors. and relates stories of cruelty
on the part Of Supt. Meyers and the
guards that are positively shocking.
Murphy lives with his parents at Ais
Seventh street south. Supt. Meyers
version of the affair puts it in a much
better light, as is generally the case in
such affairs. He sent dispatch to this

WANTED FOUR DIVORCES.
Three of Them AIlege Cruelty and
One DeSertiOn.

Four much-married, but mismated
couples filed the written history of their
welded lives on the divorce docket of
the district court yesterday, and prayed
that the legal knife be brought into use
to sever the matrimonial bonds.
Mary L. Sullivan. aged twenty-nine
years, says she married James Sullivan,
four years her senior, in the merry
month of May, 1883. They lived, so
Mary says, but four short months of
domestic bliss. The last three years
have been simply hell on earth TO
her. She charges James with having
used all forms OF cruelty to herself and
TWO children, his principal form of tor
ture being to drag her around the room
by her hair. This performance he
would occasionally vary by using her
as punching bag and testing the
strength of his grip by squeezing her
around the throat with both hands. He
also added insult to injury by accusing
her of being unfaithful to her marriage
vows, and he dubbed the children
'brats.''
Albert rippets, according to the COM
plant of Cassie Tippets, is another hus-
band who was wont to indulge in the
playful pastime of choking his wife.
They were married in the spring of
1889. Twelve months afterward he
threatened TO shoot her, but confined
himself to threats, and they managed
to get along together until the year 1857.
This time his rrueitieS took more defin-
lite shape Mrs. rippets alleges that
during the winter of that year Albert
on several occasions knocked her down,
and at one time chOked her so that she
lost consciousness and was laid up in
bed for considerable period. There
are three children OF the marriage
whom the plaintiff asks the custody of.
also fair division of the property,
amounting to $4,000, which she claims
she helped her husband accumulate.
Catherine l.. Dickens also lays her
petition OF divorce from Samuel Ii.
Dickens on the grounds of cruelty The
couple were married in December, 1881.
and since that time Catherine says she
has received Il large share of abuse from
Samuel and good many blows on the
side. Mrs. Dickens also charges her
fellow. She says she has supported him
for the past three years and she no
longer will do SO.
The complaint of Eta Nj. Burdick is a
little less lurid. Welded TO Joel B..
Burdick at Minneapolis fifteen years
ago, they lived fairly happily together
until the summer of 1889. At that date
Joel packed up his grip and left her to
go it alone. Mrs. Burdick is only thirty
three years of age and asks to be al
lowed to resume her maiden name of
Eta Nj. Hall.

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB.
The New Organization Is Now Well
Under Way

III general committee, whose duty it
was to take steps toward the prelim-
mary organization of the commercial
club, met Yesterday afternoon in the
board of trade rooms, and. in spite of
the extreme heat, got the business
well under way. 1t. was decided to
call the club the Minneapolis CONNER
cial club and bylaws and a constitution
were adopted. The articles of incor-
pOratinn were discussed informally, and
partial arrangements were made for
their adoption. 1t is desired to have 60
of the gentlemen out of the 500 who
have signed the membership list to act
as inc0rpOratorS, and 20 of these affixed
their names at yesterdays meet
ing. As soon as the arti
cles of incorporation are completed
the names of the remaining 40
will be secured and the articles filed in
regular order. These sixty incorpora-
tors will then meet and elect a board of
twenty directors, who will in turn eject
the officers Of the club.
No arrangements TOR quarters have
been made as yet, though a number of
propositions have been received. The
one the club is most likely to accept is
that of a well-known property owner.

governor. The ives men have practi-
caily given up what little fight they
started to make. There won't be much
interest in the primaries. The Nelson
men have such an air tight cincn on the
nomination for their man that they can
afford to lie back Oh their oars and
wait. The rush of delegations to the
Alexandria mans standard has taken
all OF the fight out of his opponents.
SO much for the county convention.
The primaries for the election of
delegates to the congressional conven-
ton will be even less interesting.
Loren Fletcher has that nomination in
his inside pocket in spite of the efforts
of the Tribune to pull Capt. Snider
into the fight. Fletcher need not hustle
for delegates. In some Of the precincts
separate delegations will undoubtedly
be chosen. That can he done if desired.
The choosing of separate delegations to
the county and congressional cOnven-
tons will make 1t possible to pass the
petty honOrs around little For that
reason that course may be followed. But
there will be no other excitement
around the places where the primaries
will be held.

Who'll Buiid the Bridge?

The st. Louis Park people have
bought the ties and the rails for that
electric line to ST. Louis Park. but the
construction of the line cannot begin
Just yet. The question of crossing the
St. Louis and the Hastings 4 Dakota
tracks is bothering all concerned. The
railway people had intended that the
crossing should be AT grade. but the
railroads object They want the tracks
bridged. A bridge such as would have
to be built would cost not less than Sl5,-
600. This is more than the st. Louis
Park people feel like paying for it. 1t
has been suggested that the city stand
third of the cost, the county another
third. and that the ST. Louis Park peO-
pie pay for tile balance. Theopinlon of
the city and county authorities has not
yet been received.

Trees Must Re Spared.

The laying of the new curb and gut

good deal of worry to some of the resi-

are planted on the edge of tue sidewalk.
Yesterday the matter was taken to the
courts on petition of Mary A. Brown

The petitioners asked for an injunction
against the Standard Stone Sidewalk

Tonight occur the primaries to elect

taking this step is not given. but in
view OF the generally accepted theory
that certain lines have been secretly
cutting these rates for several months,
the reason is apparent. Thus far no
other line has made All open reduction,
but the Vandalia'S example will be fol-
lowed as matter of course by all the

Can Go It Alone.

Sioux CRY, Ia, Sept. 2s.-James M.
Woods, Democratic national committee
man of South Dakota, is in the city on
his way to Sioux Falls, s. D., for con-
ference betveen the leaders of the Dem
ocratic and Peoples parties of that state.
He says an attempt will be made by
Democrats to arrange fusion on the basis
of Democrats supporting the Peoples
state ticket and Populists voting for
Democratic electors. Democrats, how
ever, fear that on account of the conf
dence of Populists that they can succeed
alone, they will refuse to fuse. In this,
Mr.. Woods says, the Democrats are
likely to support Weaver electors, in
order to at least defeat Harrison.
