Students of the Agricultural College
Entertain.

Pendergast hall at the state expert
mental farm was filled to over-f1owing
last night, the attraction being the
third annual musical and literary en-
tertainment given by the students Of
the school Of agriculture. The hall was
prettily decorated for the occasion, the
walls being draped with large flags
and bright cOlored bunting. The en-
tertainment was given under the di-
rection Of Prof. Gaines, the musical in
structOr of the school, assisted by Mrs
Gaines. The programme was a vari-
ed one, consisting Of vocal and in
strumental solos, selections by the
school quartette, readings and recita-
lions. Miss Madaline Liggett is de-
serving Of especial mention for the
pleasing manner in which she delivered
that pretty poem by Eugene Field,
1.-The Lady of Our Time" She was
obliged to give an encore before her
audience would be satisfied. Warren
Pendergast also made himself favor
lite with the audience by the manner
in which he rendered "Tradin' joe"
by James Whitcomb Riley, and Casey

evening was the last number. The
programme simply announced a song by
the school quartette, but when the
quartette appeared they were arrayed
in the garb of country school boys,

the teachers to antagonize the chamber
or any one else, and they realized the
condition Of affairs and were willing to
abide by it, and only asked that If a
cut must be made any where let 1t be
a horizontal one over all the depart
ments OF the city. Whenever a cut had
been made in the past the schools had
always had to suffer. To these re-
marks Mr.. Langford presented a few
figures that he had obtained They
were to the effect that in the police
department q cut Of 2-3 per cent had
been made and the firemen had suffer
ed decrease of per cent against 4 As
per cent in the school department
City Comptroller McCardy was pres
emit and was called upon to make a few
suggestions, but declined to do so, fur
Their than to say that in his opinion the
suggestions for retrenchment should
come from the members Of the board
or education who were appointed to
care for the school interests of the city,
and who should be better prepared
than any one else to say when expenses
could be curtailed.
Mr.. Langford said that the members
Of the board had been invited to be
present at the meeting of the chamber
and had sent only a representative
and the statements that he made at
that time indicated that either the
representative was totally ignorant of
the duties Of the members of the board,
or that he was Intentionally trying to
deceive, so that the chamber could not
hope for information from that source
Prof. Curtis concluded the afternoons
discussion with his views on abolish
Ing the high schools. He said that
the general tendency in all cities for
several years past, was the establish
ment Of high schools as it was general
ly conceded that they were the most
important Of any Of the schools, and
that in no city where they had been
established, were they ever cut off.
In his opinion, 1T would be an ineffaee-
able blot on the fair name of ST. Paul
to adopt such measures to reduce the
city's expenses.
The members of the chamber of com
merce committee were of the opinion
that little or no light had been given
them by the discussion, but it was or
dered that a report of the proceedings
be prepared, which will be presented at
the meeting to be held next Monday
morning.

A PLAGUE OF THE NIGHT.
ITCHING PILES AND OTHER REC
TAI TROUBLES EASILY CURED
By A NEW AND SAFE
METHOD.
A Remarkable Number of Cures
Made by the Pyramid
Pile Cura

About one person in every four suf-
fers from some form of rectal disease
The most common and annoying is
itching piles, indicated by warmth,
slight moisture and intense uncontrol-
liable itching in the parts affected.
The usual treatment has been some
simple ointment or salve which some
times give temporary relief, but moth
ing like a permanent cure can be eX-
pected from such superficial treatment.
The only permanent cure for itching
piles yet discovered is the Pyramid Pile
Cure, not only for itching piles, but
for every other form of piles. blind
bleeding or protruding. The first ap-
plication gives instant relief and the
continued use for a short time causes
a permanent removal Of the tumors
or the small parasites which cause the
intense itching and discomfort OF Itch
ing piles.
Many physicians for a long time sup
posed that the remarkable relief af-
forded by the Pyramid Pile Cure was
because IT was supposed to contain
cocaine, opium or similar drugs, but
such is not the case. A recent care
full analysis of the remedy showed it
to be absolutely free from any cocaine,
opium, or, in fact, any poisonous, in
furious drugs whatever.
For this reason the Pyramid Pile Cure
is probably the only pile cure extern
sively recommended by physicians, be-
cause 1T is so safe, so prompt in the
relief afforded and SO far as known
the only positive cure for piles except
a surgical operation.
In one year the Pyramid Pile Cure
has become the best known, the safest
and the most extensively sold of any
pile cure before the public
Nearly all druggists now sell it at so
cents and 81 per package.
Address the Pyramid Co., Albion,
Mich, for book on cause and cure of
piles and also hundreds Of testimonials
from all parts of the United States.
If suffering from any form Of piles
ask your druggist for a package Of Py-
ramid Pile Cure and try it tonight.

BLOOMING PRAIRIE FARMERS
Interested in bthe- Institute Work
Institute Annual

More than three hundred farmers met the
institute workers. at Blooming Prairie on
Wednesday morning during the first session
of the institute. The hall was so well filled
that seats could not be secured for nearly all
who came. = 42 .- ...
The opening address was given by Mr..
Carlyle, who talked on shelter for dairy
cows. He showed very pointedly the neces-
sity of keeping cows comfortable While
the stables should be warm 1t is a matter of
prime importance that they should be we'll
ventilated. tuberculosis prevails to a great
extent in many parts Of the country and
the most potent cause Is want OF ventilation
in COW stables. Mr.. Carlyle pointed out oce
of the cheapest and most suitable kinds of
stalls that might be used for cows
Theodore Louis then followed with an adj
dress cheap shelter for swine. He showed
how this could be provided without a great
outlay. He dwelt upon the Importance Of
keeping animals In clean and comfortable
quarters If the best results are to be realized
from keeping them.
It. A. Hoverstad spoke on the work that
is being done at the school Of agriculture at
st. Anthony Park. He showed the very
practical character of the instruction, not
only in the branches which bear upon crop
production, but also in those pertaining to
live stock husbandry. He also told about the
practice given the students in the handling
Of tools in the carpenter and blacksmith
shops, and also in the care and MANAGEMENT
of farm machinery, and more particularly n
running steam engines Mr.. Hoverstad Is
himself q graduate. Of the school, and the
success which Is attending his work In the
state is In itself good advertisement for
the same. -5~-5-s
Mr.. Louis then talked ON growing corn.
He showed the advantages Of keegang the
ground In good condition; that Is to say, In
keeping 1t well filed with clover roots and
manure He toldb hoNb seed corn should be
saved and kept. He advised the farmers TO
save their seed early and in doing so to
select the ears which were first ripe In this
way they would advance materially the aver
age season for riPening the crop.
copy OF Farmers Institute Annual No
was given to each PERSON present at the close
of the forenoon session. This book contains
400 pages 1t Is Specially prepared to meet
the needs of the Minnesota farmers Every
thing In 1t is written by men who are ex-
perts, each in Instinct Twenty-Five thousand
copies Of this annual are being printed for
distribution the present year. No other work
perhaps, that is being done by the institute
will have a more 55far- reaching influence than
this book. and ths several issues of it which
have appeared from year to year, Will be
a lasting monument to- the wisdom and fore
sight of the superintendent.
Other subjects were discussed during the
succeeding sessions of the institute such as
the feeding of dairy cows by Mr.. Carlyle;
feeding pigs, by Theodore Louis; horses, by
Mr. Hoverstad, and sheep husbandry by
Prof Shaw, who also discussed growing beef.

SHORT LINE PROBLEM.
Kansas City & Gulf Road Promises
to Make Trouble.

to Make Trouble.
CHICAGO, March 12.-New compIi-
cations are likely to arise out of the
opening Of the Kansas City, Pittsburg
& Gulf road to Shreveport 1t claims
to be the short line from the Gulf to
Kansas City, and it wants to become
q leading channel for through traffic
to Texas points from north and east
of Kansas City. Western roads have
decreed that short line rates must not
be made from Texas points to the East
via Kansas City, and that decree would
shut that Kansas City, Pittsburg &
Gulf business out of participation In
through business. That road does not
propose to stand any such decree. 1t
demands to be put upon an equality
with all its competitors and will in
slst on the application Of short limo
rates over 1t. To make good its posi-
ton it is prepared, if need be, to abb
serb the difference between through
and local rates. When it does so, OF
course, the other roads cannot help
themselves, but the whole question
threatens to be the cause Of much un-
pleasantness. The reason the Western
roads object to the application Of short
line rates by this route is that it at
fords a big scalp in local rates.
Net earnings of the Chicago & West
Michigan read for the month of Janu-
airy were $6,420 against IS, 1872 for the
corresponding month last year, a de-
crease of $1,772. For the same month
gross earnings of the Detroit, Grand
Rapids & Western were $89, ia, against
$685. SAT for the corresponding month
last year, an increase Of $5,627.

brought souIar and verriI.

Sheriff William C. Sargent, of St. Louis
county, came to ST. Paul yesterday from Du-
tuth, bringing with him the boys Soular and
Verrill, whose death sentences for the muir
der of the man Demars, ON the iron range
were recently committed by the state board OF
pardons. The unfortunate lads were imme-
diately taken to Saltwater to begin their
long servitude for the bloody deed. Sheriff
Sargent, who, although sheriff in perhaps
the. toughest county. in the state, still has a
warm heart, and it is to his efforts, to some
extent, that the boys owe their escape from
the gallows. He has consistently kept the
matter before the governor before the board
of pardons could act, and his presentation of
the case doubtless had much to do with the
decision of the board. The sheriff returned
home yesterday afternoon. .,~,r9

COMMISSIONS TOO LARGE.
st. Paul Helping to DemoraIize Chi
cagO Rates.


CHICAGO. March PA lively meeting Of
Western and Transcontinental lines was held
here today. It was called for the purpose of
devising methods Of equalizing commission
payments on California business from Atlantic
seaport points. At present higher commits
sions are authorized by way of New Or
leans than through Chicago or St Louis, and
this has strong tendency to divert buai-
ness to the Southern route. Instead Of con-
fintng itself to the question 1t was called
to consider, today's meeting undertook to dis
cuss the entire commission situation In the
West, and the discussion brought out the
fact that extensive Generalization exists.
The authorized commission on business from
st. Paul to Chicago, for instance, is Is
cents. 1t developed that 81 is being paid.
A similar condition of affairs exists at St.
Louis on west-bound business. Things are
admittedly pretty straight in Chicago. and
also in Colorado and California but the
Generalization that does exist at ST. Paul
and st. Louis threatens to spread so that
the whole situation is endangered. con-
clusion in the matter was not reached at
today's meeting.
