wTSCoNSIN CENTRAL RECEIVES
IMMEBIATE ATTENTION.
CALLS FOR DECISIVE ACTION.
CoR4METTEE REQUESTS AN OFF,
CIAL OUTLINE OF JUST WHAT
IS INTENDED.
Believed the Officials OF the Road
VIII See the ErF0f of the Pro-
posed Reduction.

The contemplated ealing by the Wis
eonsin Central road of the going rate
for merchandise shipped from Chicago
to the Twin Cities from so to 40 cents
news of which was given the St Paul
and Minneapolis jobbers yesterday
through the medium of the G l o b e,
has been duly taken up by the Jobbers'
union, and while the members of that
body appreciate the fact that some de-
cisive action is called for, and in the
near future they rest assured that the
matter will be handled without undue
commotion or the serious disturbance
OF their commercial interests.
When the G l o b e S story was read
yesterday morning those jobbers who
recalled the action on the part of the
Wisconsin Central people, a matter Of
a year ago, recognized the significance
of it, and little or no time was lost in
getting together the transportation
committee Of the Jobbers' union This
was yesterday morning. Having had
no official notice of the intended reduc-
ton OF the Chicago rate, the jobbers
appointed a committee to wait upon
the local representatives of the Wis
consln Central with a request for de-
tailed information as to the meaning
and significance Of the reduction to be
made.
This information, it is expected. will
be furnished without delay The
Wholesalers, while loath to discuss the
matter until more is known about the
exact situation, express the belief that
neither the Wisconsin Central nor any
other road will insist on taking any
step such as that mentioned, unless it
Will result in some material advantage
to the company They are hopeful of
being able to show in this instance, as
1t is said was done before, that a re-
duct1on of the Chicago rate to the
Twin Cities, which would place the
Chicago and Milwaukee wholesalers 20
cents nearer the territory now occupied
by st. Paul and Minneapolis jobbers,
Will not be to the advantage of the
Wisconsin Central line. The jobbers
VINO were seen yesterday on the sub
Ject refuse to consider it possible that
there will be the slightest reduction,
but the. gossip is that since the Wis
cons1n Central before contemplated a
similar reduction and did not put il
into effect, the Twin City merchants
have been giving the road a fair share
of the business coming up here via
Chicago or Milwaukee, although, as
will be readily seen, the bulk of the
merchandise is shipped by lake and
rail from the East at a rate lower than
via Chicago. Little doubt is expressed
but that when the matter is gone into
thoroughly nothing will be done which
Will result 10 the detriment of the
commercial interests of the two cities,
st. Paul and Minneapolis.

COMPLAINT FROM JASPAR.
GRAIN FIRM THERE WANTS THE
COMMISSION TO ORDER A Y
PUT IN.
JEW GREAT NO .rHERN STATIONS
Indications of the Increase in Pop
U.ation and Traffic of Its
Territory,

The members of the railroad and
warehouse commission have returned
from Chandler, on the Southern Min
nesota division of the Milwaukee road,
where the residents have petitioned for
a passenger depot. The commission
ers found that the location where the
depot is desired is nearly midway be-
tween Iona and Edgerton and about
eight miles from each, and the popula
tion is limited. Two small houses are
made to do for station, office and
freight depot. The commission has as
yet reached no decision.
Complaint has been filed with the
commission by H. Quamberg and Will
lam Norgren, doing business at Jas
par as the Jasrar Milling company,
asking for a Y at the intersection Of
the Willmar & Sioux Falls, and the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids, and North
ern roads, near Jaspar, in Pipestone
county. The petitioners set forth that
the Willmar & Sioux Falls road is a
part of the Great Northern system,
and by that means is in position to
handle much grain, flour, wood, live
stock and other products, and that the
Burlington, Cedar Rapids and North
ern goes through a l4eh territory in
Iowa in the east and south, and like
wise handles many of the above mem
toned products. Therefore the petit
toners urge the necessity of an order
for some proper facilities of transferr-
ing these from one line to another
where the lines intersect. The COM
mission has sent notice of the COM
plant to the roads concerned.
Word was received from the COM
plainants in the case of Babcock Bros.
& Campbell against the Minneapolis
& st. Louis road to secure a site for
a grain elevator at New Richland, in
Waseca county, that the road had
agreed to crafty the wishes of its pa
irons at that point, and the complaint
was accordingly wiped off the books
of the commission.
The rather unique request of the peO-
pie of Emmons for a station on the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis will be consid-
cred at a hearing, the date for which
has been fixed by the commission for
Oct. at Albert Lea. The day Will be
Tuesday at 2:30 p. m.

an unlimited demand for the ginseng root,
and because of its scarcity pays the hansome
price of $3.50 for a single pound Of it. Here
tofore tie market has been supplied from Ger
tain mountain sections, where the herb
grows wild. Repeated attempts to cultivate it
have proved a failure. But according to

that acre he expects to realize the modest
sum of $4,000. He will limit the product
so as to keep the price up.
Mr.. Brown says that ginseng f1ourishes in
rich limestone SOIL shaded from the sun. 1t
requires IS months to germnate and six years
for full growth. He is making secret of
the discoverery, but explains its mysteries

Jailer Phil Higgins, of the city jail, un-
doubtedly possesses the Oldest violin to be
found in this section, says the Huntington
CIV. Va) Herald. The piece has been known
for many years in Southern Ohio as one of
the finest in the country but it was only
recently that its great age began TO attract
attention. By looking through the sound
holes can clearly discover the name of
the manufacturer and the date of its make.
The former, however, has few letters de-
faced so that it cannot fully be made out.
The latter is perfectly plain and shows that
it was made in 1749, it now being 14S years
old The instrument is in a perfect state
of preservation, barring the fact that the
varnish has corroded slightly and needs re-
polishing

STRUCK AND KILLED
BY Lightning While Praying fer
Protection From the Storm.

During a fierce thunder and electric
storm last night Stanislaus Torbach,
aged fifty-two years, met death in Il
peculiar manner. Torbach has always
been in mortal dread when a storm
sprang up, and last evening he left
his companions in the kitchen of his
boarding house to seek solace in pray
er, while the storm ragged, says the
Hazelton Penn) correspondent of the
Chicago Chronicle. He went upstairs
and kneIt near a window. The collier
whistle blew an alarm about that time
and he put his hand to the curtain to
look out.
Just then a flash of lightning shot
from the heavens. 1t shattered the
window sash and sill and Torbach fell
over dead. His fellow boarders who
saw him were so horrifed they did not
go tc him for some minutes and then
they found a corpse. A black mark
or his side was the only trace OF the
shock discernable. None of the, other
men in the house felt the shock, nor
was the building burned beyond the
window sill.

He entered, and saw a man in fault
less attire, white flower in his but
tonhole busy opening bureau drawers
and putting in his pockets all portable
valuables he could find. The observer
called|the janitor, and the well-dressed
burglar was taken in the act. At the
police station he gave his name, that
of noble Polish family, and claimed
as his residence a house in the Avenue
des Champs Elysees In the most fash
ionable quarter of Paris. In the elegant
rooms which he occupied a full kit of
burglars tools were found, and, among
other things. there was a complete
list of wealthy Parisians, club mem
bers and families, who at the present
time are away from town, and whose
houses furnished an excellent field Of
operation for the well-dressed burglar.
Some twenty years ago a series OF
burglaries committed by a band Of
thieves dressed in the heighth Of
fashion, excited considerable attention
