HOW RATES AR. WORKED

The interstate commerce commission
are reported rs having adopted rule
that complaints filed must be pushed
through to final settlement by them.
This Lotion has grown out OF the fact
that majority of the complaints fled
are withdrawn before they can be heard.
There Is well grounded suspicion that
when complaints are withdrawn that a
compromise has been reached between
the railroads aud the party making the
complaint Railroads adhere 10 the

years by a freight tariff that on the face
of it would indicate that they would

would only be satisfied when they have

Nihil,.,ic Plot,

Berlin, Jan. 16.-Advices received here
from st. Petersburg say that the French
rtlice have sent a communication. to the
Russian police stating that a number of
revolutionary documents were siezed by
police of the different towns of France
during the recent anarchist raids which
followed the explosion of Vailant's bomb
in the chamber of deputies. These docu-
ments are said to compromise a number
of Russians residing at st. Petersburg
and in other parts of Russia. As a re-
suit of these. communications the Rus
sian police are said to have made a
series of domicilitary visits and have ar
rested a number of nihilists. 1t is also
said that many Russians of all classes
gre row shadowed by the police and that
the documents f ind in france are be-
lieved to have pointed out a plot involv-
ing attempts. upon the lives of the i'm
pcrial family on New Years day.

Grand Forks, N. D., Jan. 1G.-Sheriff
McCune and Deputy Riggs Of Towner
county ar6 here and will take Bomberger,
the murderer of the Krieder family, to
| Cardo in the morning, where he will
be held until Friday afternoon, the time
| appointed for the execution. Full prep
arations have been made for the execu-
ton of Bomberger at Cando. The scat
fold is about twenty feet high and the
fierce six feet high. The scaffold was
placed in a rayine about three-fourths Of
a mile northeast Of town, and those who
wish to witness the execution can do so
by driving up to the enclosure with their
carriages or car take a position on the
hills adjoining the ravine and have as
good a chance to see what is going on as
those inside. If the weather is favorable
there will be an immense attendance
from all quarters. All can see the exc
cution who desire to do so. Bomberger
was interviewed at Jail last night. He
was playing cards with the death watch,
who remains within his cell all the time,
when the newspaper man called. He
had heard that Sheriff McCune was In
the city, and asked in a way that showed
his nerve if the reporter had seen him.
Not in the least nervous he conversed as
ccolly and as readily as when incarcer-
ated six months ago. He talked about
death by hanging, and states that he
would rather be hanged than shot IS
far as the e%asincss of the death was con-
oerned. He joEc.l and laughed about
the coming exc .ution. The only time n
s,ricus look came over his face was once
when his mother and father were mcn-
toned. He has OF seen them yet. and
states lie would like to see them vry
much before he dies.

Standing Rock Agency, N. D., Jan. 1G.
-Meny of the enterprising citizens of the
blind pig city of Winona, on the eastern
bank of the Missouri, directly opposite
this agency, are in a state of appre-
hension amounting to terror. A harmless
looking stranger quietly dropped into
town and proceeded to make merry with
the sports, apparently becoming very
drunk and grew extremely familiar and
confidential with blind piggers. About
midnight the stranger suddenly became
cold sober, clapped a pair Of bracelets
on his new made chun., Thomas Murray,
introduced himself as Deputy United
States Marshal William Martin and read
a warrant charging the sale of intoy;
eating liquors to Indians and violation
the intercourse law. Although Martii
true character was not suspected until
flashed his handouts, rumors of a p
sible raid had reached town some do
ago, and some parties have fled
whom it is believed the officer had We

Decided by Justice Buck.

St. Paul: Jan. 16.-The supreme court
Yesterday reversed the decision of the
lower court in two cases against the st.
Paul German Insurance company, brought
by Smith & Farwell and the Chicago &
Alton Railroad company, appellants. The
opinion was written by Judge Buck. The
action was brought by the plaintiffs on
policies issued by the defendant, and at
the time of the action the defendant had
made an assignment under the laws of
the state, which fact was pleaded by it
as a bar to action. The case was tried
without a jury and judgment ordered in'
favor of the defendant on the pleading
that an insolvent debtor is exempt from
all special claims excepting through his
assignee. Judge Buck holds that it
would be possible, under such construc-
ton of the insolvency law, for a debtor
to perpetrate serious frauds, and there is
no reason why a creditor should not go
on with a proceeding in common law so
far as to ~substantiate his claim
