Two Conductors on Each Train.

From the New York Tribune.
Last February the receivers of the
Baltimore 4 Ohio Railroad company
decided 10 adopt the double-conductor
system for all excursion trains in or
der to reduce to minimum the chances
of an accident. To the conductor under
this plan IS given entire charge Of the
running of the train. while the other
attends To the tickets and the comfort
of the passengers. The experiment
proved successful during the travel 10
and from the inauguration OF President
Mckinley, but during the last two or
three months il has been thoroughly
demonstrated that its adoption was
wise. From Sept. 4 10 Nov. y, iuclu-
siya. the Baltimore & Ohio handled 80
600 people on Sunday excursions be-
tween Philadelphia. Baltimore, Wash
ington and Atlantic City. and owing TO
the care taken in the handling IF the
trains, not a single passenger was killed
or injured. Fourteen thousand II this
number were handled on sept. f.

MR.. NELL IS EXONERAT TED
He Interfered in the Row Only as
Peace officer.
NO GUN PLAY ABOUT 1T
The Report to That Effect Was Evil

les for Political Effect Sheriff
Clary Has Returned.

Great Falls, Dec. ga IIavre CORE
spondent, writing of the report which
said that United States Commissioner
Henry j. Meili figured in a gun play
there, makes the following statements:
"Meili, who is justice of the peace and
police magistrate and one of Havre's
most prominent citizens, was eating
lunch in Young & McDonald's restau-
rant. As he was about to leave the
restaurant. a cattleman engaged in a
dispute with the waiter, during which
the latter threw a catsup bottle at the
cattleman, and a bystander threw one
at the waiter, who then ran out into
the kitchen. The cattleman started
after him, but to get into the kitchen
he had to pass through dining-room.
AS he entered, Great Northern rail-
way brakeman, who claims he can whip
anybody in town, intercepted the cat
tleman.
About this time Mr. Meil and others
who started to stop the cattleman, en-
tered the dining-room and witnessed
the brakeman strike the cattleman.
They We're Immediately separated and
both participants arrested by Special
officer McDevitt No gun was drawn
or seen by anyone. and certainly not
in the hands of Mr.. Meili, whose only
interference was as peace officer, to
stop the disturbance. Mr.. Meili is too
we'll known in Great Falls and Cascade
county for the report to have credence."
"A part of the old McNally gang here
are still very vindictive to Judge
Meili on account of his action in or
dering the vags out of town during
Mayor McNally's administration, for
which he and the town marshal We're
suspended by the mayor and later re-
instated by the town council. They
presumably sent the report to the
county attorney with the intention of
injuring Judge Meili and the present
city administration, for the benefit of
the opposition in the coming city cleo
ton. Sheriff Clary came here, inyesti-
gated the matter and returned, salts
fled that the report was malicious ana

CUT HIS THROAT
Farmer Howard Of Sussex Killed
Himself Because of Ill
Health.

Waukesha, Wis, May 29.-[Speciai.i-
William Howard, a well-known farmer of
the town of Sussex, this county, and a
brother of Henry Howard, janitor of the
courthouse here, committed suicide in a
horrible manner this morning. No direct
cause can be assigned for the deed.
Mr.. Howard resided on a farm about
two miles from Sussex. Of late he has
not been in the best of health, but the
members of the family did not think he
was seriously i'll. Last evening he ap-
peared well and retired early for the
night. About 5 o'clock this morning he
arose and going into a room drew forth
a razor and cut his throat from ear to ear.
He was found by members of the family
at Z O'Clock.
Deceased was 80 years of age and
leaves wife and several small children.
When the report first reached Wauke-
sha it was to the effect that Howard had
been murdered in a mysterious manner
and the residents were greatly worked up,
as the horror of the Harris tragedy was
still fresh in their minds.

Milwaukee, Wis, May 28.-[Special.l
In the debate at Lincoln hall last even
ing between representatives of the
Forum club of the State university and
of the Milwaukee Forum club, upon the
proposition that the present ownership Of
railroads is preferable to that of govern
ment control, the Milwaukee club wen
upon the negative side of the question.
The debaters were w. II. Hase, X. r.
Citizens and J. B. Amazeen for the I.ni-
versity and G. z. Ballhorn, c.. l.. Aarons
and Herman Reel for the Milwaukee
club The judges decided that the weight
of argument lay with the Milwaukee de-
baters. The judges were Judge George
e. Sutherland. w. j. Turner and j. V.
Quarles, and the general proposition dis
cussed was:
Is the present system of ownership and
operation of railroads in the United States
by private corporations preferable to owner
ment?
1t being conceded
First. That a competent governmental
mana cement of the system can be organized.
Second. Employees and subordinate Of
ficials to come under the civil service rules.
Third That Sc, 600, 100000 would be fair
and reasonable compensation
Fourth. That the change can be constitu-
tionally and legally made.

At a meeting of the state board of con-
troll held at Sparta Thursday afternoon
and Friday morning it was decided to
transfer twenty eight of the children at
the state school at Sparta to the new
Home for the Feeble-Minded at Chippe-
wa Falls as soon as it is opened. There
are this number of children at the Sparta
school who are more or less defective

the members that the doctor was correct
The large number of detectives found
does not mean that this proportion of the
children sent to the school are of weak
minds; they represent the accumulation
of several years. Most of the children
sent to the school are taken into private
homes. but naturally the people who
take them pick out the brightest of the
little ones and those who are defective
are left in the institution.
