ZENITH CITY CORRUPTION.
Grand Jury Instructed to Make Conn
pete investigation.


DULUTH, Jan. 9.-Judge Moer
charged the grand jury of the January
term of court and created sensation.
He told the grand jurors that it was be-
,oming common talk that there is cor.
ruption in city affairs, in collecting
from gambling houses, ETC., and in
other ways. He instructed the grand
jury to investigate these rumors to the
bottom and to expend whatever money
Is necessary in proving them true or
false. The grand jury at this term is
one of the best that the county has ha'
for some time and has many of the
shrewdest business men of the city
among the number. The charge has
created considerable talk, but it does
not seem to have disturbed the equa.
nimity Of any of the officials as yet.

value of the Standard Rules.

1.-THE value of reducing all lines of rail-
road work to conform as far as possible to
the standards of practice is recognized by
the officials of the more progressive roads
of the country and it is noticeable that
the application of this principle to track
construction and maintenance is coming to
be better understood and more closely fol-
lowed than in the past" says the Railway
Review. If the standard adopted to be used
in connection with any class of work is to
be the best practised then it goes without
saving that the more it is used the better
win be the results obtained. If instances
arise occasionally where exceptions to the
rule are met and variations from accepted
standards are advisable they do not, how
ever vitiate the Importance of 1t in the
general practice Besides reducing very
much the outlay for repair supplies by hav-
ing to carry less in stock where standard
materials and appliances are used through
out standard construction tends to further
reduce the cost of repair by the familiarity
gained. from the constant use of one or a
few patterns so to speak, and the matter
of estimating the amount and cost of ma
terials for renewals and repairs is simpli-
fled.

OPENING OF COLLEGES
SCHOLASTIC YEAR OF THE INDIANA
MEDICAL BEGAN YESTERDAY.
1t VIII Be the Banner One in Many
Respects-Chnnges in the Fac
uIty mt Butler.

The scholastic year at the Medical College
of Indiana began yesterday. No school work
was undertaken, however. the day being de-
voted to naturalization and the preliminary
examinations Of freshmen who do not come
with proper credentials for admission. The
school work will be taken up this morning.
The practice of having man outside the
school deliver an address on the first morn
ing has been abandoned. and this morning
at 8 o'clock the dean of the school, DR.. Mar
| see, will address the students when they
assemble, before the first lecture The lee
lures will begin at o'clock. and the school
will then swing into the routine of the year.
The expectations are for a large attend
ance this year. The change from a three
year to a four-year course. which went into
effect last year, had the effect to gather in,
two years ago, a large number of students
who might have dropped in last year and
this year had not notice of the proposed
change been published. Many rushed into
the school in order to take advantage of
the shorter course. This affects the senior
class this year, making it far the largest in
the history of the school. About ninety stu
dents are expected to finish the course this
year. and there may be a few come in
from other schools to get the Indiana di-
ploma, so that the graduating class will be
but few short of a hundred. The junior
class is correspondingly small, but the
sophomore and freshmen classes are up to
the standard.
Dean Marsee said yesterday that he be-
leved this would be the banner year in
many respects. 1t is the last year of the
three-year students. There are few changes
in the equipment of the school and
none in the faculty. The work of the curric-
ulum as arranged for the course of four
years has been tried and found satisfac-
tory, and will proceed this year with a
method and exactness which has always
characterized the school. DIR. Marsee said
he was impressed with the high character
of the freshmen. The examinations We're
held yesterday. and all applicants were adj
mitted. Il was surprised at the high stand
ard they showed said the dean, nearly
all of them having passed examinations
from high schools or normal schools, and
many of them have teachers certificates
This class is in addition TO the graduates
OF reputable colleges of liberal arts. They
are admitted without examination to the
sophomore class"

The adoption of the Sebastian ticket by
the Western roads for the interchangeable
mileage ticket traffic is not final and should
that ticket prove unsatisfactory after a
short trial something else will be tried The
majority of the roads, however are of the
opinion that the ticket will answer the pur-

that the ticket will reduce scalping to the
minimum. as there is nothing of which the
scalpers can get hold to place on the mar
ket. If the ticket proves as satisfactory as
it is expected that it will, an effort will
be made to have all the large roads in

pany prefer that announcement of the pre-
else nature of the concessions should
emanate from the attorney general. 1t is
expected that the official announcement will
be made within a few days, and, as the pro-
posed sale involves thirty days advertise
ment, the road, in the event of no one be-
ing willing to pay, more for the property
will pass into the hands of the new COM
pany about Nov. !.
Ex-Governor George Hoadly, counsel for
the government in the Union Pacific pro-
ceedings. said yesterday that there was
nothing in the announcement of the reor-
ganization that he wished to deny. He
declined to state what concessions had been
made to the government by the reorganiza-
ton company. Receiver Anderson said
that while he had no official knowledge Of
an agreement having been reached between
the reorganization committee and the gov
eminent. he believed the sale would be eff
fected before Nov 8. He said that the
main trouble would be paying the debt of
S45 coo 600 due the government. The proper
ty could be turned over to the new COM
pany without any difficulty.
