THE MADISON SCHOOL TROUBLE
To the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor Of the Register.
Strive thought that we were
through with the school commissioners
of Madison district and the long SUI
, fering voters were patiently waiting iol
the next election in order to express
their opinion on the subject. Inc oes'
homes of man are often disappointed
and this seems to be case IN point
Here come the talkee, talkee member
If the aggregation breaking out again
That very unruly member of his Will
vet bring him to the condition spoken
of by the apostle.
Seriously speaking, however 'ne
statement must be very strong one
in every point, that takes an enllls
month to answer, and then only very
lamelv. and by making assertions tha'
the public knows to be totally at 'aii'
ance with the facts.
tn come to the point at once, ana De
very brief in doing so, it is only neces-
sarv to make two remarks.
First. The Commissioners for Mad
ison district so far from counting pup
ncitv. have in every instance shame
Iessly shirked it. In the first instance
when Prof. Stevenson invited rev Oh
his friends to be present at the meeting
of the commissioners and teachers OF
the grammar department. strenuous
objections were made by the very gen.
tIeman who claims such earnest desire
for publicity, and the meeting was
broken up.
Second A proposition was made by
one of the commissioners that they
should select six gentlemen and allow
Prof. Stevenson to select six others To
hear the case. Prof. Stevenson accept
ed this proposition, stipulating only
that all these parties were to be from
the Seventh ward, and that in order
to avoid the certainty of having a jury
Of eight to six, the commissioners
we're not to Interfere in the matter.
No sooner was the Professors ac-
ceptance made known to them than
they disowned their own proposition
| This does not look much like yearn'
/ ing desire for publicity.
In conclusion, the gist of the matter
is this. and it is the unanimous opinion
of the people of the Seventh ward: The
entire proceedings Of the commission
ers were f1agrantly and unblushingly
concocted in the interest Of favorite
who is the very root and stem OF al
the trouble. AZ far as publicly tryini
a teacher is concerned, the author OF
the article loses sight of the fact thai
without any trial whatever and or
the most arbitrary and despotic man.
ner he and his associates publicly dis,
missed two teachers, the very best and
most valued the Seventh ward ever
had, and that, too, in face of the
strongest protest of the entire commun'
ity. We will be with you, gentlemen
at the polls. JUSTICE.

LUMBER AND ORE RATES.
Roads Running Into That Territory
Reduce Tariffs.

Reduce Tariffs.
The new freight tariff issued yesterday by
the Eastern Minnesota and effective December
22, brings to light the fact that the three or
four roads which enter the lumber and ore
country in northern Minnesota have at last
made material reduction in their rates on
merchandise OF all classes shipped in. The
reduction amounts on stuff OF the firSt-class
to between 10 and 10 per cent, and in some
instances even more, and is in effect on the
Duluth Iron Range, Duluth, Missabe q
Northern. Duluth Mississippi and Northern
and Duluth, Superior & Western. For exam
pie. the rate frst-cass from st. Paul to BIZ
wabik Mckinley or Virginia Is cut down from
50 to % cents, while a slash in the rate 10
Messabe Is from ST to II cents. The figures
to Tower scaled from 50 to 80, to Ely from
81 to So. to Mountain Iron from 80 to 49,
and to Hibbng from 50 to 80 cents. CORE
spending reduction is made for the other
classes of merchandise. This new tariff will
be met by the st. Paul & Duluth and Omaha
roads connecting with the roads named above
at Duluth.
1t will be recalled that the matter OF Sc
curing cut in the freight rates charged by
the roads entering the iron and lumber couh-
try was taken up during the last session OF
the legislature, It being set forth that the
figures were entirely too high, and out Of all
reason. The officials of the roads up there,
while admitting that the rates, Duiutn 10
the range points, were in many cases as great
or greater than those from Chicago to st. Paul.
urged that the country along their lines was
mostly uninhabited, that there was but little
local traffic and that the roads had to de-
pend for the most part upon the receipts OF
ore shipments and shipments Of lumber.
Lately the matter was discussed among the
officials when it was quietly decided to make
the reduction. At the present time the lum-
Der shipments constitute the biggest part Oh
the business. quite a volume OF business re-
sultiug from the fact that many men are In
the woods and the logging operations are very
extensive.

The great English scientist Huxley,

food properly because they lack the
proper quantity of digestive acids Qac-

The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia

CASE WITHOUT A PRECEDENT.
Suit Between Iowa and Missouri In
yOIying a Pauper's Burial.

oTTUMWA, To-, Dec. ia case Of some
interest to both the states of Iowa and Mis-
souri,, involving a peculiar point in law. Is
likely to be brought up in the courts OF
Wayne county for settlement.
Some time ago. a Chicago, Rock Island
& Pacific passenger train pulled into Line
vile. the dead body of an unknown one
armed negro was found the front plat
form Of the baggage car. The depot at Line
Vile is just on this side of the Missouri line
but when the train stopped the forward plat
form of tho baggage was about two feet
In the state of Missouri.
The Iowa officials objected to the train be-
ing backed, but the company ordered the train
backed to the platform and the body taken
from the Platform and buried in Iowa. Wayne
county now asks Mercer county, Missouri,
to bear the expense OF the burial, claiming
the body was found in Missouri and belonged
to that state.
This Mercer county refuses to do, making
the point that the negro died In Iowa and that
state should care for the body.
No precedent or case OF similar character
can be found in the decisions OF the courts
OF either state, and the question promises to
be a puzzling one.
