County Commissioners OF Fari-
5.g# bault Visit WOrthingt0n.
They Viewed Mobiles COunty's
sS&g B0Stile.

4 Messrs. E. NJ. Sly, chairman, j.
Under, F. r. Moore and Robert
More, commissioners of Faribault
county, arrived in the CITY Tuesday
morning. They came to look over
the Mobiles county jail and note the
good points. Monday was spent in
viewing the Blue Earth county build
ing, but not seeing just what suited
them, came on to Worthington.
They were unanimous in their ap-
proval of our Jail building, and re-
turned home on the 1l:27 passenger,
satisfied that they had correct mod
el to go by in the erection of their
building. Faribault county has a
handsome court house and sher ifs
residence and will soon have fine
Jail building. The commissioners
were accompanied by Rev h. 81.
Hart, secretary of the state board OF
corrections and charities. Mr.. Harris
heart is thoroughly in the work, and
he is always ready to assist any coun:
ty in that it may have a model Jail.
He is full of practical ideas. ideas
that will save money to any county,
and at the same time give better re-
suits. The Mobiles county Jail, which
is undoubtedly one of the best in the
state, is largely the planning of Secy.
Hart. Per the courtesy of Mr.. Hart
we had the pleasure of meeting the
Faribault county commissioners.
They all spoke in highly compliment
tary terms of Worthington, and their
trip here gave them the information
they desired.

The Literary meets Friday
night of this week, Feb. 9th. The
subject to be debated upon is Gre
solved that liquor has caused
more misery than the wars" Mr..
Fred Cone has the affirmative and
Mr.. John Newton the negative.
The people in this community
met at the school house in dist.
48 on Friday night February lst;
the object of the meeting was to
raise money to buy lamp for the
house for the use of the Literary
society. The ladies each brought
a pie which we're sold at auction,
and I wish to say to ye edl-
tor you can see what talent we
have in the pie making line when
I tell you that some of the pies
sold for rs cents each. We tpaid
for our lamp and had money left
to throw at the birds. I will say
we did not throw the money at
the birds. We soon found out
that little money in the treasury
was good stand by. In connec-
ton with the pie supper was a de-
bate. It was suggested that two
of the party choose sides. The
subject for debate was woman's
suffrage. The question was quite
ably discussed and was decided in
favor of the affirmative. Last but
not least was the music by Mr..
John r. Newton and his mother;
only those present could appreci-
ate the same. People expressed
themselves as being very we'll
pleased with what had been &C
complished to say nothing of the
enjoyment of the evening.

that the Short Line assumed all the

THE RATE SITUATION.
President Ingalls, Says Business in
the West is Good.

President Ingalls, Says Business in
the West is Good.
NEW YORK, July 25.-M. E. ingalls,,
president of the Chesapeake e Ohio
and the Big Four roads, in discussing
the rate situation last night, said:
Railroad business in the west is
good today. The great thermometer of
the railroad situation is the passenger
business; not the through traffic, but
the every day steady travel. Our Big
Four lines have $500 miles of track
through a thickly settled country. The
increase in our passenger business for
the past three months has been larger
than since 1892. 1t is better today than
it has ever been for the same months
| in any year.
Wheat transportation is a small
item directly to the railroads. Over
our lines it Is but per cent of the
revenue. Corn is king. 1t makes the
cattle, the whisky. the pigs, and so fur
nishes the every day business of the
ever dreamed of is now in sight and
nothing short of a great CONFUSION of
nature can affect it.
after the interstate commerce law
was passed some years ago rates
steadied up for a year or two. Then
they began to go down. There were
secret cuttings and contracts. Down
ward rates continued TO progress.
Now and then their fall was stayed
for month or two on resolutions OF
reform. But in June last rates had
reached lower depths than were ever
thought possible.
THE outcome was the meeting OF the
trunk line presidents at which l in
troduced two resolutions; first, that the
preparing OF a new arrangement be
left to a committee of presidents; and,
second, that rates be absolutely main
tanned during the preparation of the
agreement
Both were carried and lived up to,
and now since July last railroads
have been nearer to tariff rates than
for i've years past. AT the meetings
here there was full attendance and
distinct determination that some
Thing must be done. 1t is not only nee
essary that better rates be had for the
protection of railroad employees but for
the general interests of the community
In the first place. the interests in
volved are SO enormous that we cannot
have permanent prosperity so long "a
the large investments in railroads are
in danger. At these meetings there
have been present officers of lines rep
resenting $1,000, 100000 of capital. These
