Slashing Rate War.

Bismarckers who desire to travel east
or west will find the present the ac-
copied time. ST. Paul is the center of
as pretty a railroad rate war as has been
seen for many a day. East or west, ac-
cording to your choice, n can travel
for about the price it would cost him to
stay at home, and travel we'll. Com
mencing today the three trans-continen-
tai lines will carry the traveller 10 Puget
Sound points for $40 tirst-class and $40
second class. Going east any of the
St. Paul Chicago lines, beginning Mon.
day, will put him through as far as
New York for a beggarly s1s first-class,
aud SIT second-class. If one can wait
until Thursday the trip can be made 50
cheaper. The 500 has given notice that
beginning on that date it will sell
tickets to New York for SIG first-cIass.
The Milwaukee has accepted the def
and announced a similar rate over it's
line, to take effect the same day. The
route from Chicago east will be via
either the Grand Trunk or the Lehigh
Valley roads. These are the only two
lines that have thus far been authorized
by the Joint Traffic association to en-
list with the St. Paul Chicago lines for
the war. It is probable, however, that
sooner or later, some or all of the other
lines will be drawn into the contest.
The new rate east practically elimi-
mates the fare from st. Paul to Chicago,
as the through rate is equal to that reg
ularly in force on the most favored lines
between Chicago and the metropolis.
After Wednesday S25 will carry a
second-class passenger from New York
10 the Pacific coast, with Sl1 added for
the privilege Of tirst-class accommoda.
tions. The latter rate is quite a little
better than l cent Il mile for the dis
lance.
The second-class passenger now pay!
Just a half a cent a mile between st
Paul and the coast.

REVIEW TABLE.

Professor Goodwin Smith in the March
North American Review discusses in a
most suggestive way the question SIS
the Constitution Outworn?" After the
lapse of a changeful century the consti-
tuition is, Professor Smith declares, in
some respects outworn, yet weak points,
such for instance as the want of respon-
sible control over finance, when distinct
ly seen, may in some measure be practi-
cally covered, and the edifice may be
patched so as to stand, though it can
not be thoroughly repaired. It's sound
ness ie apparently about to be tried by
the stress of no ordinary storm.

The March number of the Forum,
which, by the way, inaugurates the
twenty fifth volume, contains an unus-
ually large proportion of articles on cur
rent topics. OF the fourteen items more
than one-hulf deal with the subjects of
national or international Importance,
several of them being live questions of
the hour. The leading article is en-
| titled "Should the United States Pro.
duce it's Sugar?' and it's author is the
Hon. James Wilson, secretary OF agri-
culture. A writer in the November
Forum questioned the desirability of
establishing in the United States the
beet sugar industry. Mr.. Wilson's
paper is strongly in favor of the propo-
sal. He points out, as a practical agri-
culturalist, that, IN addition to keeping
at home the 100000 900 now paid for
imported sugars, the production Of
beets would be found profitable for
stock-feeding.

Will Not Affect North Dakota Cas-,

Secretary Phelan of the railroad com
mission states that he does not think
the decision of the supreme court in the
Nebraska case will affect the North
Dakota case, and that the question of
reasonableness of rates being the only
one to be settled in this state, must
still be decided by the courts. The
hearing to decide this matter is already
before the court and will be continued
Notwithstanding the Nebraska decision.

At Least so Deposeth w. P. Boland
in the Election Contest.

At last Fridav's session of the cleo
tion contest Commissioners Edward
JurkoVitZ, it will be remembered, Swore
that he did not receive or disburse any
moneys in the fall election. Attorney

and swore that Jurkovitz had admitted
to him and Contestant Langstaff that
he did receive and disburse moneys in
the election in question. Yesterday, by
way of confederation, Mr.. Holgate put
William p. Boland on the stand and
elected from him that Jurkovitz did
both receive and disburse moneys.
Mr.. Boland testified, or rather ad-
mitted in response to questions from
Mr.. Holgate, that he paid $40 to Jur-
kovitz and that half of it was to be
given to some other man, a friend Of
JurkoVitz.
The two men, Mr.. Boland explained
came to him and complained that they
had received nothing for their work
about the polls, and to quiet their com
plant he gave them the $40 that had
been allowed him for his services as

There is said to be an organized
band of lawless men in the mountains
near the dividing line between Luzerne
and Lackawanna counties, to which
can be traced the death of Brakeman
John Howell on the Austin Heights
branch Of the Lehigh Valley railroad,
October Ia, as well as scores of other
crimes, such as murder, setting fire to
buildings, highway robberies, burglar
les and wholesale larcenies. Reports
from trustworthy sources point the fin
ger of suspicion toward a gang that
found the mountain passes of Sicily
too hot for them and transferred their
field of operations to this locality.
The latest deed attributed to them
was the shooting of a horse on the
streets of Duryea a few evenings ago.
The animal was tied to a post in front
Oh motel; some one united 1t and drove
1t down the street to a point where
there was few hundreds yards space
between houses, and there put two
bullets into it. Another man awoke
one morning to find his two horses
dead in the stable from poison.
The occurrence causing the death of
Brakeman Howell was known ~ be
the work Of no amateurs. Only a
trained and desperate gang would loot
saloon in thickly populated neigh
borohood and carry away five barrels
OF whiskey. They were on their way
to their rendezvous in the mountain
with the plunder when the collision
occurred that resulted in Howelps
death.
