St.. Cloud is somewhat excited over
a new freight tariff issued by the
Northern Pacific, which it is claimed
discriminates against that town. We
don't gee why the Northern Pacific
should grant St. Cloud any favors.
1t is Jim Hill town through and
through, and if the N. P. gets any
business there, it's because the mer-
chants can't help it. The St. Cloud
Times says:
The buslnes men generally through
out the city received new freight tariffs
from the Northern Pacific this morning
and there were some genuine surprises
found in it. The new rates not only dis
cr,minate against st. Cloud in the mat
ter of flour and milling stuffs, but affect
every article shipped TO and from the
city. The coal rate from West Superior
to this point is 81 per ton. The rate to
Elk River, q longer haul by 40 miles, is
$1.25 per ton. On dry goods the rate
to Elk River is 81 cents a hundred and
to St. Cloud it is IS cents. On staves,
tho rate from Superior to Elk River 10 5
cents per hundred and to st. Cloud it 10
u cents. The tariff does not stop at
that as every article shipped to the city
from the head Of the lakes is affected.

The advertisements of the Great
Western Clothing Co. of this city are
noticeable for the originality dis
played in their composition and ar
rangement and have attracted much
attention. Mr.. Isaac Meyer, mana
ger of the concern, believes that ad-
vertising is a science and devotes
much care and attention to the CON-
pany's publicity. Recently he sent a
cnpy of his acrostic ad, which ap-
peared in the local papers a short
time ago, to the Chicago Apparel
Gazette which commented on it as
follows: -
81. Meyer, manager ofthe Great West
ern Clothing company, Little Falls,
Mimi, sends in an advertisement ;tfor
criticism. It is four columns wide by II
inches deep. It is very much the best We
have ever seen in 8 paper outside of the

The Waucoma (Ia.) Sentinel says
of the death ofthe late Howard Ober
OF Royalton:
Thus has passed from this active
lie to the great beyond, one OF ma
ture's noblemen. for no one knew
Howard but to respect and admire
him, and his friends were innumer-
able. Here, where he has passed his
life until within a few years, everyone
knew his upright character and ster-
ling integrity, and a feeling OF sadness
came to one and,all when news OF his
death was received. The sympathy
of the entire community will be ex-
tended to the bereaved wife, who, af-
ter twelve years of companionship
with the deceased, is left to tread
life's pathway alone.

In unconcealed glee the Transcript
informs the public that one of it's
friends has been acquitted ola charge
made against him by police officer.
Interference with an officer who for
reasons creditahle to him is in dis
favor with the Transcript, and who
serves under an administration
which is honcred with the hostility
of the same paper, is according to the
new code, a civil and moral virtue of
the highest kind. By getting drunk
and disorderly, and running a horse
into saloons or other gentle pranks,
and, above all, by resisting an officer,
one is enabled to get perhaps into
trouble with the authorities, but
sublime thought, and compensa-
tion for the scourge of law-one is
enabled thereby to bask in the sun
shine of the transcripts grace.

For the first time since the organi-
zation of the fire department the
city council disregarded the wishes
Of the firemen in the matter of chief
fire warden, electing on Monday
night Henry Bentfeld instead of Geo.
Emder. by vote OF four to three.
The aldermen, who turned down the
choice of the firemen are Aldermen
Martin, Hill. Peterson and Carlson.
Aldermen Lane. Mecusker and Moeg-
lein voted for Emder. As far as Mr..
Bentfeld is concerned, he is a worthy
citizen, a fireman, and qualified, and
can scarcely be blamed for taking the
place. Nevertheless, the proceeding
was 80 unusual that some good rea-
son ought to be shown for it. Per-
haps the fact that three of the ma.
jority are firemeA and were active in
opposition to Emder's election by
the deparcment, may partially ex-
plain the matter. 1t is now claimed
by some of the lawyers that the pro-
ceedings Of Monday regarding the
election OF tire warden were illegal,
and cannot stand.

SPECIAL LEVY NECESSARY.
Nearly 800, 900 Has to Be Raised for
New Sewers.

City Engineer Joseph p. Phillips yes
terday served notice upon Dunn Bros
to begin wor< on the South Side sewer
on April l. The ordinance under which
the contract was certified pre- scribes
that the work shall begin when the city
engineer shall elect.
The sewer will cost $33 900, Of which
the city contributes two-thirds. There
is no appropriation to meet this eX-
pense but as the work was directed to
proceed by order of court, the control
Ter could certify the contract with liza
bility to himself. The expense will be
made up by special levy, if provision
cannot be made for it in the judgments
and incidentals fund next year.
In addition TO this, the city will have
to make provision this year for it's
share of other sewers as follows; Philo
street, $1,000, Scranton street, SG73.S0:
Sections B, { and d of the Fifth sewer
district, Providence, $12,300.75.
There is also $47 7,6G0.3G to be provided
for the Nineteenth district sewer, and
$S63.77 fer the Seventeenth ward sewer,
on which viewers are now at work ard
which viii probably be ready for con-
structiCn before the year is out.
This makes a total of $S9, 4S793 that
the city must meet and for which there
isn't a cent available. A special levy
will doubtlessly be the result.
