Alleged DISCRIMINATION.

Interstate-commerce Commissioners w.
r. Morrison. Judson G. Clements and
James ID. Yeomans opened session at Chi
cago yesterday for the purpose of investi-
eating charges of discrimination in rates
made against the Milwaukee & St. Paul,
the Union Pacific and the Santa Fe. Those
against the first road were taken up yes
terday- There three different COM
plants against it, but all virtually relate
10 the same thing. The material issue is
2ia cents per 100 pounds transit charge
which the Western roads have imposed in
their construction of through flour rates
from the mills in Wisconsin. southern Min
nesota and northern Iowa, in order TO
equalize them with through rates from Min
neSota. The roads contend that this charge
under the present system of rate-making is
an absolute necessity. Instead of being dis
criminatory, its object is to prevent dis
elimination In no case is the rate from
any of the points outside Minneapolis
higher than the rate from that center. and
that rate is governed by the competition
of the Lake Superior lines

Gludness Comes


With better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi-
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families. and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that il is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debiiitating the
organs on which it acts. It's therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Co. only, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa-
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sllillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

Crook pleaded not guilty. W. E.
Young appeared as his attorney, and
ia reply to question of the court
said that he could be ready for the
trial in four days.
Crook was taken back to Jail. There
is report in circulation that strong
influence was at work to have the
grand jury reduce the charge to mar
der in the second degree. but if there
was such an influence it failed of it's
purpose.
No cases were ready for trial or
would be before Friday, and the court
therefore excused the petit jurors IN
til next Tuesday, Dec 10Th, at 1000
a. m. The case of the appeal of Grace
Schisler and Frank J. Schisler from
the award of the Omaha commits
sioners will be tried Tuesday.
The understanding now is that the
Swartout assault case or some other
minor case will follow the case set for
Tuesday, and the Balser and Crook
cases will come on in their order.
Court will meet from day to day I'm
til Tuesday, to issue citizenship pa
pers and try court cases if there are
any to be tried.

MONEY RECOVERED.

The lost pocketbook containing S55,
belonging to Geo. Painter, of Decoria,
and which dropped from his pocket
while in the city on Saturday evening,
was found Sunday morning about 1000
O'Clock on Pleasant street by w. III.
Anderson, and delivered to it's owner
Sunday afternoon.
1t was fortunate for Mr.. Painter
that his wealth dropped into honest
hands, for in these close times one less
honest than "Wallie" would have
been strongly tempted to shove it
down into his cleans" and said moth
ing. Mr.. P. was in the city today,
feeling good over the fortunate re-
covery of his money.

LOOKS LIKE BUSINESS.
The North Central and Blue Earth
Valley Telephone Companies
Enter an Agreement.
Work of Putting in the New
Telephone Exchange Will
Commence This Week.

1t now looks as though the long
made promises of another telephone
exchange would be carried out. The
thing that has been wanting to ensure
this has been an agreement between
the North Central Telephone Ex-
change company and the Blue Earth
Valley Telephone Exchange COM
pany. Negotiations between' these
two companies have been going on for
some time and have at last resulted
in an agreement being made, so we
are informed. The North Central is
to Install a plant in MankatO, and the
Blue Earth Valley compaaVsis to con-
meet its long distance service with it.
The Blue Earth Valley company has
reached Garden City and Amboy, and
it's network ofwires includas5 many of
the towns of Southern Minnesota and
Northern Iowa.
Two carloads of poles have arrived
over the Milwaukee road for the
North Central, and local agent Smith,
of that company, informs us that the
work of setting them will begin this
week. He says that the time for put
ting in the exchange has actually ar
rived, and that his company is now
going ahead
President Raight, of the Blue Earth
Valley company, has been frequent
visitor to the city lately, and the
wires of his company can quickly be
extended to this city, as the material
is ready. 1t seems likely that by
spring Mankato business men can talk
with several scores of towns over the
two long distance systems that will
then be in operation.

SPECIAL MEETING.
A Call is rIade For One by
the President of the Com.
mercial Club.
Important Matters for COnSid.
Grafton.

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Commercial club was due to be
held last night, but owing to multi
plicity of other attractions very few
of the members were present, and it
was decided best to hold special
meeting next Monday night, for the
specific purpose to considering some
very important matters.
Secretary Akers has mailed notice
to every member of the club, and it
is hoped that largely attended meet
ing will result.
1t is now well understood that the
G. & N. W. railway company will run
it's regular passenger trains into Man
kato as soon as the new depot is COM
pleted. One train on that road will
arrive here about 1910 p. m. and the
Omaha train from St. Paul reaches
here at l %. These two trains ought
to dinner here and at The Saulpaugh.
1t is believed that if the club will
take the matter up with the officials
of the two roads and present the
matter in a business-like way this
change can be brought about. 1t
would require no change in the run
ming time of the trains except so far
as the arrival Of the Omaha in Man
kato, which would be twenty or
twenty-five minutes earlier than now.
Another, and no less important mat
ter for consideration, is the selection
of a thoroughly active committee on
legislation who will watch the inter-
ests of the city during the coming
session of the legislature, and assist
our members, whenever the emer-
gency may arise, to secure such as is
demanded for Mankato and Blue
Earth county.
Let there be a full complement of
members present at the meeting
Monday night.

HOTEL BILL UNPAI
Landlord fiimmelman Wants Recon-.
psnse for Boarding Bail Players.

Landlord Zimmerman has bill for
1910 against the new base ball associa-
tion for boarding the last ball team.
He has been DESTROYS of collecting it
for some time past, and to this end
sailed meeting at the City Hotel
last night. Only half dozen of the
members responded to the letters
sent them, ard nothing definite was
done. Mr.. Zimmerman states that
he will soon take steps to collect the
bill unless it is paid in the meantime.
Some of those who have been looked
upon as members of the new associa-
tion claim THAT they are not such, and
that what they gave was in the way
of bonus and not subscriptions to
stock, and that they are not liable for
further assessments.

at eleven o'clock this forenoon to talk

THE MESSAGE.

President Cleveland transmitted to
congress Tuesday his last annual
message. 1t is of considerable length
and touches on all the important mat
tiers likely to come before congress.
Considerable space is given to foreign
affairs, but strange to say the Ven
ezuelan matter is scarcely touched
upon. He opens with reference to
the Armenians and Turkish question
and tells what has been done toward
the proper protection of our people
there. He than passes to the Cuban
troubles which he discusses at some
length, holding that Cuban independ-
ence cannot be recognized by this
country as the Cubans have no gov
eminent, except on paper. and hence
nothing to recognize. But he states
that the friendly services of this gov
eminent have been offered Spain
toward bringing about peace, and he
hints that the time may soon arrive
if the contest is indefinitely continu-
ed when this country, in the cause OF
humanity will be obliged to interfere.
The usual review of the various de-
partments is included and general
concentrations INDUCED in. The
matter of immigration is referred to,
but no recommendations made. AS
usual he dwells upon pension abuses.
He reviews the connection of the gov
eminent with the Pacific railroads
and the indebtness falling due, and
states that unless congress takes some
action in relation to the same at once,
he will be obliged upon the first of the
year to take action under the law of
1887, and forclose the government OBJ
legations against the Union Pacific
roads.
He gives his usual Communications
to civil service reform and passing to
the matter of the tariff and the def
cit, he argues that they have no con-
nection whatever, and expresses the
belief that the present tariff law, if
allowed fair opportunity will in the
near future, yield revenue sufficient
to meet all economical expenditures
of the government.
His reference to financial matters
is not ex nded but he is of the
opinion our troubles in that re-
spect may elargely removed by retir-
ing the greenbacks, and until they
are he does not believe financial
peace and safety will come to the
country.
His closing words relate to trusts
and monopolies and he holds that the
reason nothing has yet been accom-
plished in restraining them is because
the legislature which has been enact
ed has been insufficient to meet the
evil, rather than the fact that it has
not been enforced.
On the whole the message is
moderate in tone, but outside of that
portion directed to the Cuban affairs,
will not be likely to attract much at
tentlon.
