Duluth & Winnipeg Bought In by

DULUTH, Mimi, July 25.-The Du-
luth & Winnipeg railroad was sold this
morning in this city by Captain Ed
ward Simonton, of st. Paul, master
commissioner appointed by the court.
There was but one bid, that of John
A. Carver, of New York, representing
the reorganization committee Of the
bondholders. The property was pur-
chased in the name Of ]. w. Sterling,
j. A. Carver, G. w. Church and Char.
les Steele, of New York. Their only bid
was $2,373, 1874 and the property went
to them at that figure. The bondholders
are Canadian Pacific people and that
road now becomes the possessor Of the
Winnipeg.
1t is practically certain that it will
be extended to the boundary in the near
future, and there is also a plan for
tapping the Mesaba range in order to
secure a share of the ore traffic, which
is very profitable.
The fact that there was no competi-
ton for the road by James J. Hill of
the Great Northern, who was after it
short time ago, is regarded by some
as proof that the Great Northern road
has secured traffic arrangement with
the Duluth & Winnipeg road, and that
the Great Northern will build from
Fosston to some point on the Winnipeg
and secure a short route from the grain
fields of the Northwest to Duluth, in
stead of building the entire distance
from FOSStOn here.

pected that the tonnage agreement will be
amended in several particulars.
The Union Pacific has taken Independent
action regarding the running of excursions in
the state Of Nebraska, to which the other roads
in the Western Passenger association some
time ago objected. The chairman was ap-
pealed to- but he declined to sustain the ap-
peal, and now the road will take matters into
its own hands, and make the rates indepen-
IDENTIFY Of all the other lines.
1t is expected that further complications in
western freight rates will follow the action of
the Chicago Great Western in reducing the
rates on coarse grain from the West to Chi
cago The other roads will be obliged to meet
the reductions, although not all of them have
said that they Will come down in the tariffs.
The cut of the Great Western amounts to
about three cents per hundred, and 1t will
make further reductions If necessary.

A Sixteen to One Man Gets All He

Silver sentiment took a drop at the
Union depot yesterday afternoon.
There is more silver in circulation than
there was Friday, but one its warm
est advocates has been left on the
fence and sound money hereafter may
look for his vote The bolter is Con-
ductor O'Brien, Of the Milwaukee.
O'Brien and c. w. Myers, ticket agent
at the Union depot, are near neighbors
in everything except politics. O'Brien
is 16 to / man and Myers is a sound
money man. Evenings when OBrien
is in off his run he usually goes over
to Myers house for the purpose of con-
verting him. He has found it hard
task. The other night the two got
into a heated argument which ended in
a drawn battle. Myers insisted the
free silver would be the ruin Of the
country. O'Brien took this as a chal-
lenge and said that as long as there
was silver in the country he would
stick to it. ---

CHICAG, July 25-There will be a meet
ing of the Eastern roads in New York next
week in which all the objections of the lines
in the Central Freight committee against the
working Of the tonnage agreement under the
rules of the Joint Traffic association will be
heard. There have been many objections to

running east from Chicago have been chatting
under the restrictions to which they have been
subjected. The roads running east from St.

There Is enough canned soup sold
each year to float half n hundred war

In the business OF preparing the stun
says. according to the New York Mall
and Express. He has been fifteen years
canning goods OF all kinds and he says
that no branch of the trade has made
such strides as the soup industry. Last
year was the most successful In his
experience. he adds. and the chefs and
workmen in his factory worked on an
average of eight hours day only.
This season promises to be n record
breaker, and for the last five months
the full force has been engaged on an
average of eleven hours day turning
out soup. Last year." he remarked.

would be possible to flood the entire

1t is a long walk from the dining
room of the Westminster school to the
coronation chair. which stands behind
the old stone screen just back of the
altar in the abbey. but there is an in
teresting connection between the two,
says St. Nicholas. This chair, as is
well known. is rude. heavy oak
chair, much worn by time. 1t con-
tains the "Stone of Scone" and was
made the order of Edward ]. in 1897
and every English sovereign since then
has sat in it to be crowned. A stout
railing in front of the chair restrains
the crowd of visitors from coming near,
but II they were allowed to examine
1t as closely as was fortunate enough
to do they would find cut boldly into
the solid oak seat in such sprawling
letters as the schoolboy's knife makes
upon his desk: "P. Abbott slept in this
chair Jan. 4, 1901" P. Abbott, 1t seems,
was a Westminster schoolboy and a
tradition, which there Is every reason
to believe is true, tells that he made
wager with schoolmate that he dare
stay in the abbey all night alone. In
order to win his wager he hid in some
corner of the old building, until the
doors were locked for the night and
thus was left alone there. Fearing,
however, that when morning came the
boy with whom he had made the bet
would disbelieve his statement that
he had won it he determined to have
some proof of the fact, and so spent
the hours of the early morning in carv-
ing on the coronation chair the SEN
tence which even now, nearly CEN
tury after, bears witness for him. 1t

not record Just what form and amount
of punishment was visited upon the lad

4 Maine Boys Exciting Experience

L Maine Boys Exciting Experience
with n Bellicose Deer.
A little son of Sumner Lane, residing
in the east part Of Ripley, had most
exciting experience Sunday, and one
that he will remember for long time.
The youngster on his way to neigh
boris house, was passing through an
old pasture, partly grown up to bushes
and skirted on one side by the forest.
He was walking along with little
thought of his surroundings when he
suddenly came upon three deer, one of
which was a full grown buck and
having a good set of antlers. The
boys size did not impress the buck as
very formidable and he decided ut
once to scrape acquaintance with the
young fellow. This did not suit the
boysat all and for protection he climb
ed up into branch of convenient
tree in less time than 1t takes to tell it.
The buck wasn't looking for such n
denouement. but he advanced to the
tree and placed his head against it and
tried to shake the boy out. The tree
was not Il large one and the yells that
the kid uttered no doubt amused the
animal, for he continued his efforts
some time and, shook his horns in n
way suggestive of disagreeable results
should he reach the boy at short range.
The boy threw his hat Mt the buck and
after a time the animal trOtted away
apparently satisfied that he had ac-
quilted himself in the most approved
fashion. The boy waited until he con-
sidered the coast clear. Then he start
ed for home in deuble-quick time,
where he brcathlessly related his mar
row escape.-Bangor Commercial.
