Testimony for Plaintiff in the Hersh.

In the opinion of the public the Hersh

who testified to criminal intimacy with
Miss Hogan, the defendant, admitted he

Great Reduction IN Yellowstone
Park Rates for Next Season.

Great Reduction IN Yellowstone
Park Rates for Next Season.
General Manager Huntley, of the Yel-
lowstone Park Transportation Company,
has been in st. Paul several days in con-
ference with General Passenger Agent
Fee, of the Northern Pacific. and Vice
President Pearce, of the Yellowstone
Park Hotel Company, with regard to
park rates for the season of 1895.
While travel to Yellowstone National
Park long ago outstrlpped the travel to
the Yosemite, which resort was opened
to tourists many years before the park
wes accessible, the Northern Pacific rail
road and the stage and hotel people have
decided to make very large reductions in
their park rates for the next year in
order to induce still greater travel.
The stage company in the park have
the finest transporting outfit in the world.
being able TO move in their conveyances
from 600 to 800 tourists on short notice.
The hotel accommodations are in no way
inferior, so that 1t only remains to popu-
larize the trip by low rates in order to
secure the additional business which can
be accommodated.
The old ticket heretofore sold at St.
Paul and IN the east at $l30, says the
Minneapolis Journal, will be taken off
sale altogether and its place filled by
round trip ticket, including rail and
stage transportation from st. Paul to
Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone
Park, and return, at a rate of S47.5O.
The ticket heretofore sold at Livings-
ton for $3.50 will be replf ced by a IS
round trip ticket, Livingston to Nam
moth hot Springs, Yellowstone Park
and return. The transportation rates in
the park south OF Mammoth Hot Springs
will be reduced about 33 per cent, while
the hotel rates per diem will be reduced
from IS to 81 and So per day, according
to the length Of time spent in the hotels.

A Palmer House Incident.

The Hershfeld divorce case at Fargo
is developing some special features of q
sensational kind.
At the afternoon session Thursday the
court room was crowded. Over thirty
ladies occupied seats inside the bar, and
many more were in the body OF the
house, attracted by the prominence of
the parties and the prospective evil
dence.
When E. W. Anderson, a blonde
young man from Chicago was called to
the stand, Judge Mcdonnell announced
that the testimony now to be heard was
of character that nigh; be unpleasant
for the ladies present to hear, so they re-
tired from the room. The witness testi-
fed that be was, in september. a clerk
in the Palmer house, Chicago; that
he formed the acquaintance of Dell
Hogan, the defendant, who was guest
Of the house, in the course of his busl-
ness as clerk at the ladies' window in the
Off ce; had spoken a few words to her
each day for three days; had noticed her
giddy conduct in the lobby; on the
third day he held a short conversation
with her at the Office window and ar
ranged to meet her in the reception
room after supper; did so. and at once
went to room in the third story and
was criminally intimate with her. The
cross.examinatlon covered the entire
career of witness for several years past,
and went minutely into the details of
events leading up to the association.

Another Cheese Factory.

J.G. Ross, a gold medal Canadian,
cheese-maker, was an east-bound pas.
senger Thursday to Wheatland, where
he will superintend the erection of a
cheese factory in which the farmers Of
that region, and some OF the moneyed
men of Fargo, are interested. The dairy
interests of the state are beginning to
demand attention aud many are now
turning their thoughts towards a more
profitable employment than that of rails
ing As cent wheat.
It has been found in practice that it
requires about so pounds of milk to pro-
duce one pound Ut butter, worth in the
local market about 1215 cents. On the
other hand, cheese makers declare that
about 10 pounds Of milk are needed to
produce pound of cheese, which sells
wholesale at about 10 cents, gain in
favor of the producer OF cheese Of from
Is cents to 20 cents per 80 pounds OF
milk. Or, to use different form OF CON-
parison, milk when transformed into but
ter at the farm is worth about of q
cent per pound, while If made into
cheeses is worth about three times as
much, or cent per pound. Mr.. J. A.
Wh,pple Of spiritwood, father OF Ed.
Whipple, who runs the cheese
factory there, states that while
his COWS, during the past year. have not
done quite as well as year ago, still on
an average year will produce revenue
per COW of about s25. Mr.. Whipple has
recently purchased vat and, during the
winter, will turn all the milk from bis
COWS into small cheeses, which readily
sell both IN the local and other markets..
The success which has attended efforts
in this direction will probably induce
others to embark in the same lines OF
mixed farming and, instead OF raising
wheat exclusively, turn their attention
to more profitable lines.

MACHINERY TO START.
Operations of the N. P.'s New
CoaIing Station at Fargo
to Begin.
A Venerable N. D. Journalist
Dies-Reduced Rates for
the Yellowstone Park.

Tuesday, at Fargo, the Northern
Pacific railroad company started the
conveyors in their new coaling station,
recently erected to replace the docks de.
stroyed by fire. The new station is an
innovation in railroading in the north
west and is expected to revolutionize the
process of supplying locomotives with
coal on this and other roads.
Not content with the system as de-
veloped in the east where, in a few in
stances, similar coaling stations have
been put in operation, valuable improve
ments have been added in the way of
accurate appliances for the measure
mentor weighing-of coal; also IN the
manner of disposal of the coal in the
station itself. Each ''pocket," which
holds several tons, at an elevation con-
venient to easily supply empty tenders.
rests on a receptacle containing tuid,
which, by means of small pipe running
to a central station, or point easily
reached by the operator Of the coaling
plant, registers automatically the weight
of coal. This weighing device, which
might BIZ called an nydromometer. is an
apparatus peculiar to this coaling sta
ton. It will render easier and more
accurate than before the system
of keeping account OF the fuel
consumption of each engine. Heretofore
while an approximately accurate result
has been obtained through series OF
tests, or records, an exact estimate OF
fuel consumption per engine, per train
mile, can be secured.
As an instance Of how cheaply coal and
cinders can be hapdled by this system Of
conveyors it may be stated that at the
coallng station in nopsration at Philadel-
ph,a by the Reading railroad, where $50
tons of coal per day Is handled, the cost
is s12.94, or q fraction less than 4 cents
per ton. In addition to this they load
II the ashes and cinders in cars by the
same conveyor at a cost Of cents per
ton.

German Agricultural Society.
The third annual election OF officers
of the German Agricultural society was
held Monday afternoon at their hall on
Fourth avenue, after which number of
topics OF great interest to the members
were discussed. Nearly all OF the officers
we're reelected for another term and but
few changes made in the board Of direct
ors. President George Kurtz, who for
three years past has successfully pre-
sided over the meetings Of this import
ant agricultural body, was reelected.
Anton Fried and Fred Kreuse were
elected, respectively, first and second
vice presidents. These two were the
only changes in the officers. The entire
list, with the exception Of the directors,
ls as follows:
G. W. Kurtz, president.
Anton Fried, first vice president.
Fred Kreuse, second vice president.
Anton Steinbach, corresponding sec.
retary.
John Casper, recording secretary.
J. B. Fried, financial secretary.
Charles Frey, treasurer.
A. Sch hwellenbach OF Frederick, S. D.,
addressed the meeting on the subject of
the Russian cactus, of which he had seen
considerable and ls quite familiar with.
Hs gave description of the plant, it's
habits, and suggested plans to render it
less of pest to agriculture. He sug-
gested, and urged, the planting Of breaks
and guards around the farms, of willow
and sunfower hedges, which would act
as barriers to the rolling weeds and pre-
vent their lngress to cultivated fields:
also the scattering OF plants which other
wise may have gained foothold on farm
lands. Until the willows have
gained size sufficient to act as an effici-
ent barrier, he urged the planting Of sun
flower hedges. These are easily grown
and prove very effective. He suggested
that road supervisors attend to the
planting and maintaining Of such breaks
in, and around, their districts. The re-
marks Of MI. Schwellenbsch were attent.
lively listened to and endorsed by the
membere.
