G. A. II. MEN NOT TOO OLD FOR A
SCRIMMAGE THIRTY
YEARS AFTER,
BUT 1T IS A RATE WAR NOW.
RAILROADS ARE QUARRELING
OVER THE SPECIAL RATES
FOR TOURIST CARS.
DROP IN OTHER SLEEPER RATES.
Disagreement Over the Use of the
COmmOner Form of
Cars.

AS suggested in the dispatches from
Chicago which appeared in this col
umn yesterday, there threatens to be
serious trouble over the matter of G. A.
r. rates to Buffalo. The general pas
senger and ticket agent of the Milwau-
kee road has discovered, so the story
goes, that some Of his competitors are
contracting business to be carried in
tourist sleeping cars at tourist car
rates. while the lines in the Western
Passenger association have signed an
agreement that these tourist sleeping
cars shall be used only in connection
with transcontinental business. Pas
senger Agent Marsh, of the Milwaukee,
has asserted in letter to Chairman
Caldwell that these tourist cars are be-
ing advertised for the accommodation
of Grand Army business in the terri
tory from Chicago to the Missouri river,
at the rate of $25 per diem, and also at
berth rates; both much below standard
first-class sleeping car rates The Mil
waukee people understand the tourist
car berth rate quoted by the Wagner
company from Chicago to Buffalo is
$1.50; the Northwestern makes the same
rate from Milwaukee, Madison, and
points in Northern Illinois, and rates
varying from 50 to So from points in
this state, Iowa and Dakota The cars
they propose to use for this business, it
is stated, are the older style of Wagner
sleeping cars, with low-back seats, but
in other respects practically the same
as first-class cars, some Of them, with
out drawing rooms
oI- I. ~.
of business these cars, on the basis of
the rates named, are likely to carry
larger share Of both competitive and
non-competitive traffic, and that first
class sleepers at first-class rates will
carry practically no business. The Mil
Waukee has a number of Old-Style
sleeping cars which might be used as
tourist cars in competition with tourist
car lines, but not enough to meet the
competition. This company did not
contemplate, it appears, using Ihese
old-Style cars or any other sleeping
cars at less than standard first-class
rates for sleeping car business to Buff
falo.
Notice has therefore been given by
the Milwaukee road that unless tourist
sleeping car rates are Immediately
Withdrawn from all territory in which
it is interested it will use all it's sleep
ing car equipment, irst-class and 9TH
erwise, at tourist car per diem and
berth rates wherever found necessary
to hold it's share of the business. If
in this competition it should find its
sleeping car equipment inadequate
to compete with the large equip
ment of the Wagner and Pullman COM
panies, it proposes to take such other
means to equalize rates as may be
necessary.
A strong effort has been made to
bring about an adjustment of the trou-
bic. and pending the settlement it is
intimated that hob will be played with
the G. A. R. rates before the encamp-
ment begins.

PRESIDENT DUNN SAYS THE PRISON
BOARD is HIGHLY PLEASED
WITH 1T.
LESS THAN FOUR PER CENT
HAVE VIOLATED IT'S CONDITIONS
IN THE BOARDS PAST
EXPERIENCE.
PRISON CENSUS VERY LARGE.
There Are Now 53S Within the
Walls nt StiIlwnter-MOre
Women Than Usual.

Edwin Dunn, of Eyota, the president
Of the state prison board, was a guest
at the RYAN last evening on his way
home after presiding over a session of
the board yesterday. To reporter for
the Globe e Mr.. Dunn said that the
board Earoled five more convicts and
that three of them came TO st. Paul
with him to be turned over to Capt.
Cole. Of Fergus Falls, who will give
them employment on his farm. Capt.
Cole has already taken about thirty
of these paroled men and not one of
them has ever attempted to run away.
from his place. He is a wealthy farm
er. a bachelor, and takes an interest
in the peculiar help he employs, which
invariably makes better men of them.
During the three years that the parole
system has been in vogue at the pris-
on, over two hundred convictS have
had an opportunity to benefit by its
reformatory measures, and Of these
only eight have violated the conditions
of their release; Of this insignificant
number. all except three were appre-
hended and returned to the prison to
serve out the remainder of their SEN
terces.
The board decided yesterday to pur-
chase additional binder twine machin-
cry which will increase the capacity of
the plant 500 pounds daily, making its
total output about $4,000 pounds every
day The prison twine was greatly in
demand this year and all of the supply
was sold-3, 500 900 pounds, bringing in
S202. 600. Next year there will be over
1900, 900 pounds of it for the Minnesota
farmers.
The prison population is now larger
than it has been for several years,
numbering 53S convicts; of these ten
are women, the greatest representation
of the fair sex within the walls since
the institution was built. Two of the
female prisoners are source of worry
to the board just now, as they are in
a delicate condition. They are both
from Minneapolis and were recently
sent up to serve short terms; their
husbands are both in prison also. The
board will apply to the governor to
have them paroled before their an
ticipated trouble.

CALDWELL WILL CONFER.
With Local Jcbbers as to Country
Excursion Dates.


Chairman B. D. Caldwell, of the
Western passenger association, will
cC1ne to st. Paul from Chicago this
morning, for the purpose of comforting
with the officers of the Twin City Mer-
chants association about changing the
plan made with the railroads center,
ing here for the excursions during this
month of the country merchants to st.
Paul and Minneapolis.
1t is probable that Mr. CaldwelPs
mission will be fruitless inasmuch as
the transcontinental lines, which have
no direct interest in Chicago, as well
as some of the Chicago lines, have
already consented to dates different
from those selected by the Chicago
jobbers for their excursions The sim
pie fact that some of the lines are
bound and willing will have a tendency
to force the others to come in. For the;
past few days there has been. CORE
spondence between President Young,
of the association, and Mr. Caldwell,
which resulted in his visit here today.
Representing the railrods, Mr. Cald-
we'll has sought to induce the jobbers
of the Twin Cities to run the excur-
s1cnS for country merchants on the
same days they are scheduled for Chi
cago. He urges as a reason for such
course that the special rates offered
will demoraliZe general business 70
dates Of sale applicable to Chicago and
the Twin Cities would prolong the peri
cd of passenger disturbance,
Speaking for the Twin City associa-
ton, Mr.. Young took the position that
the dates fixed by his association were
| satisfactory to the Twin Cities. 1t was
not desirable to start excursions on
Saturday. as that would bring coun-
try merchants to the city for Sunday
and would result in the loss of ono
! day. To run the excursions on Mon
day and Tuesday would be preferable
to the country merchants and the lob.
| bers.
| 1t Is not desirable to have excursion
days in the early part of September
as arranged for Chicago for the rea.
son that the Minnesota state fair viii
be held in the early part of that month
and the railroads will make a rate
for that event that will be below the
excursion rates for the merchants
probably one fare for the round trip.
Mr.. Young wired Mr.. Caldwell as ar
ultimatum that his request could no
be acceded to and that the dates prev.
iously agreed upon for the merchants
excursions will be adhered to.

FOR THE BABY.
A Valuable Hint to Every Father
and Mother.


There are two kinds Of babies in the
world; the kind who have too little
nourishment and the kind who have
too much.
The first kind of babies Starve be-
cause their stomachs are too weak to
digest the amount of food necessary
for their growth and healthful de-
velopment and the other kind are over
fed with the result that the delicate
stomach and intestines are inf1amed,
and as every mother knows, thousands
of infants die yearly when warm
weather begins, from stomach and
bowel disorders.
Opiates, soothing syrups and cathar-
tics, however mild, are not what is
demanded. Go to the root of the
trouble, assist the child's digestion,
give the little stomach the aid neces-
sary to thoroughly and promptly di-
gest it's food and the little one will
thrive and grow and gladden. the
mothers heart.
To give perfect digestion to the
child it is only necessary to give in a
pleasant form the harmless digestives
contained in the we'll known tablets
sold in drug stores under the name of
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. Stuart 8
Tablets contain no so called drugs,
but are composed of pepsin, pure
| aseptic, fruit acids, starch digestives
and are put up in lozenge form, with
sugar of milk, very pleasant to the
taste and have been used for years
as the safest, best remedy for any
form of indigestion and stomach
| troubles in adults, but recently many
remarkable cures have been made in
| the cases of weakly babies who failed
to grow and thrive as they should.
A Buffalo mother a short time ago
who despaired of the life of her babe
was so delighted with the results from
| giving the child these tablets that she
! county, N. Y, and made the following
| affidavit:
| Gentlemen-Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
| lets were recommended to me for my
! two months old baby, which was sick
and puny and the doctors said was
suffering from Indigestion. I took the
child to the hospital, but there found
no relief A friend mentioned the
/ .rtuart Tablets and 1 procured a box
| from my druggists and used only the
large sweet lozenges in the box and
was delighted to find they were just
the thing for my baby.
I feel justified in saying that Stuart's
! Dyspepsia Tablets saved my child's
| life. Mrs. w. L. Dethloff.
Subscribed and sworn to before me

Notary Public in and for Erie County
N. Y.
For babies, no matter how young OF
| delicate, the tablets will accomplish
wonders in increasing flesh, appetite
| and growth. Use only the large sweet
tablets in every box. Full sized boxes
are sold by all druggists for so cents
| and no parent should neglect the use
of this safe remedy for all stomach
and bowel troubles if the child is all
ing in any way regarding it's food OF
assimilation.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets has beer
known for years as the best prepara-
tion for all stomach troubles whether
in adults or infants.
