atkinson Speaks

Hon. G. W. Atkinson spoke at
the Court House on Friday night
oflast week. Notwithstanding che
unfavorable weather, quite N
good sized dience Was pressnt
and considerable enthusiasm was
shown. The First Regiment Band
was in evidence, and .enlivened
the occasion with their splendid
music. Atkinsonhad been speak.
ing in the open air for several
days, and although his voice was
not strong, he certainly made an
elegant speech, which was atten.
lively listened to and heartily
applauded. No one can doubt
that he is winning the hearts of
the people, and the prospects are
bright for Republican Cover
nor of West Virginia.
In the midst of Atkinson's
speech, Capt. Dovener was
escorted othe front, and his APP
pearance was the signal for an
outburst of enthusiasm. As our.
next Congressman and next Gov.
ernor clasped hands. a great
shout went up, presaging the
fall of the walls of the Demo.
cratic stronghold.
After the conclusion of Mr..
Atkinson's speech, Capt ovener
addressed the assembly in his
characteristic manner, with that
vim, energy and courage which
means victory.

THEY ARE AFTER POACHERs.
Local SpOrtsmen Want to Protect
Their Preserves

Poaching on private game preserves
is to be put stop to. DR.. Archibald
McLaren, as president and general
agent of the Island Pass club, began
an action in the district court yester-
day to restrain certain parties from
trespassing on the clubs game pre-
serves and hunting ducks there. The
defendants named are Moses Capis-
trant, Joseph Peltier, Joseph Forcier,
Aleck Peltier and John Doe and Rich
ard Roe, whose true names are not
known to the plaintiff
The property embracing the clubs
preserves is described in the complaint
as including all the meandered land Of
sections II and 20, town 81, range %,
in Anoka county lying around and I'M
der those certain premises known as
Nathan Lake and all of the meandered
land Of sections 10, 20, 20 and 80, Of
town 81, range %, being all the meand-
cred land lying around Rice Lake.
The complaint alleges that crops Of
wild rice and other heritage are main
tanned on the land in order to make 1t
inviting to wild fowl, and that al
though the premises are partially en-
closed, the defendants, in spite Of re-
peated notices to them personally as
we'll as general notice, have con-
tinually trespassed on the premises,
day and night, shot the ducks and
trampled down the wild rice and her
bage. Wherefore the plaintiff asked
for an injunction restraining the de-
PENDANTS from repeating such actions.
Accompanying the application was a
bond. Judge Otis thereupon signed an
order granting the injunction.

Hearings Before Commerce Com

mission Begun at Chicago
CICHAGO, Sept. 1.-THE Interstate
Commerce commission met today to
hear complaints against various rail-
roads. Only one case was heard, that
of Paine Bros. & Co., Milwaukee groin
clippers, against the LehigL Valley,
New York Central and other Eastern
lines, the charge being that small grain
shippers to Eastern points are discrim-
mated against. Cassius M. Paine pre-
sented evidence to support the charge,
and the Lehigh, New York Central and
Erie, the roads most directly interested,
were represented by counsel. Francis
then made statement which practi-
the Lehigh would not object to an
order by the commission abolishing the
cargo rate, so far as it applied to in
land rate in the East
That Is practically what Mr.. Paine
Is contending for said the attorney.
1.-THE whole trouble Is due to the COM
petition between rail and lake rates.
but the Lehigh is willing to have the
lake rate abolished except on shipments
to the seaboard."
The commission then continued the
case until next month, and in the mean
time it is expected that the roads and
shippers will reach an agreement,
which will make any action on the part
of the commission needless. The COM
mission adjourned to meet tomorrow
Chairman Morrison announced that the
commission would be in Chicago until
Wednesday next and would investigate
a number of other pending cases

NO CHANCE TO KICK.
So Say Freight officials About the
Wheelmen.

The order issued by the baggage de-
partment of the Great Northern rail-
road prohibiting the transportation Of
bicycles to which bells, lanterns. cyclo-
meters, etc, are attached, as mention
ed in the G e yesterday, seems to
De raising storm of objections among
the wheelmen. The explanation of the
road upon the question places a very
ulfferent light upon the matter. and
goes to justify the order. General
Baggage Agent S. A. Smart, said to
the b e yesterday: 1.-The order
rebounds just as much to the benefit
Of the Wheelmen as it does to us. In
the first place the bicycles are carried
free, especially upon the lake lines.
In the roofs of the baggags cars are
hooks, upon which the wheels are
hung while in transit. This neces-
states the turning of the wheel up
side down, causing the oil to leak out
or the lanterns, and the general
smashing of the fixtures. The courts
Of the East have decided that CYCLIC
meters are not a part of bicycle, yet
whenever one of these articles are
broken, the wheelmen expect US to pay
for 1t, although the bicycle is trans
ported free of COST
Although the Northern Pacific issued
similar order July IA, the travelling
puplIc uOeS not seem to nave cotton on
to the fact, and the Great Northern is
receiving all the blame. The exact
reading of the order to baggage agents
Is as follows: When bicycles, tricycles
or baby cabs are delivered to you to
be checked. first make careful examin,
alton to discover if IL bad order. and
make your records accordingly. Again,
ii there are any packages, &c, attach
ed to same, require them to be re-
moved, as in the case of a piece of
baggage. This includes lanterns and
cyclometers. The latter are not a part
of the bicycle proper, and are of very
frail construction and easily broken.
so that as the company cannot be re-
sponsible for loss of, or damage to the
same. they should be detached before
checking, to avoid possibility of dam
age. F. I. Whitney, general passenger
and ticket agent, s. A. Smart, general
baggage agent"

CIVIL SERVICE REFORM.
Hobby Of Vice President Newman,
of the G. N. Railroad.

Second Vice President Newman, of
the Great Northern, is a man who has
many ideas of his own, and it is prob
able his individuality will be seen in
many ways in the system and routine
of that great system. For one thing,
Mr. Newman Is great believer in civil
service reform, applied to the manage
ment Of a railroad as we'll as to the
management andsoperation of the gov
eminent. He believes that every en-
ploye of the road, who is a success in
the capacity in which he may be found,
should be kept there until the oppor-
tunity presents itself for promotion,
and under this system, many of the
employees Of the Great Northern, who
have been worrying, will breath easier.
Mr.. Newman has been called hard
taskmaster and a difficult man to ap
proach. He is not On the contrary
he is an open-hearted man who, when
the occasion demands. can unbend
from the dignity of his high office and
be a genial friend.
Yesterday he reappointed A. N. Gray
as his chief clerk. Mr.. Gray held the
same office under Second Vice Presi-
dent Finley.

NOTES OF RAILROAD DorNGs.

H. D. Armstrong, travelling passenger agent
of the Missouri Pacific with headquarters at
Detroit, Mich, was in the city yesterday.
General Freight Agent McKennon, of the
Wisconsin Central, was in the city yesterday.
The Western Passenger association has
authorized a rate of fare and a third to
the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge X. of
P. of Minnesota at Minneapolis Sept. 22-23.
1t is the general belief that the. St. Paul
Chicago lines will very soon meet the rate
made by the Twin City and eastern lines on
-four to the Atlantic seaboard AS matters
now stand, the lake lines operating with the
railroads viz: the st. Paul & Duluth, Omaha,
Eastern Minnesota and the 500 have the best
of it, as their rates are 221a cents, while the
Chicago lines still have their 25-cent rate in
effect. 1t is very likely meeting of the
Chicago lines interested will be held in the
near future. Minneapolis Is now sending
out 300 cars more of flour every day, and
the business is too big to give up without
fight.

of the Pullman company, Chicago, formerly

here this afternoon at 2 o'clock
with exercises In the Shumway Me-
mortal chapel at Shattuck. The schools
open with a larger number Of pupils
than last year and everything looks
to more prosperous year than last.
A new chapel for st. Mary's and re-
furnishing and identifying both schools
will add to the comfort of the pupils.
Bishop Whipple welcomed the schools.
He said that it made him younger
to look in the faces of these boys and
girls. He remembered as yesterday
when he was a boy sent to school.
Then fleet of foot, and with as merry
a shout on the play ground as any in
the school. He loved boys and girls
and pitied the man or woman, whose
heart is shriveled by care and sor-
row that he cannot rejoice with the
young. He further said: "a wise
statesman, looking upon a group of
boys and girls, said to me, Each one
of these Is a beginning A beginning
of what? OF idleness, uselessness?
another recruit Of tramps, for there
are tramps that are not on the high
way. Beginning of cheats and shams,
where no lessons are slowed except
on thumb nails. A beginning of self
ishness, to take care Of Number One
A beginning of life of impurity?
