with the railroad onlcials and state
commission on tho subject q through
and local freight rates. Sc. Cloud
also had . delegation present, and
the st. Paul q Duluth rallr0ad o.

commission. N
Emerson Hadley, general counsel
oftthe st. Paul 6 Duluth, gave notes
that. 1.-THE commission permitted the
Northern Pacific to make, lower
charges for tho long haul. his road
would Immediately make applica-
ton for the Same privilege.

Mr.. Hadley, ''to live on it, interme-

no reason why We should not he
given the same right" 3Sl s@5I (,
Chas. W. Bum, general counsel 81
the Northern Pacific, made the prin-
cipal argument before the commits
sion. He took the position that the
company was authorised. under the
Interstate commerce act, to disre-
gard the long and short haul clause
when the conditions were not the
same e. prevailed for the other car
riers. The great bulk Of the business
bet een Duluth and st. Paul was
tnterst ate shipments on through
tariffs to and from the East. The
rest he intimated could be made 90
without much difficulty by securing
terminals In the Wisconsin city 81
West Superior or BY billing through
from the East. 2s. s8E2$szs s5" (
The question was then one with
which tho interstate commerce com
mission would have to deal. II the
Northern Pacific was TO be required
to reduce intermediates rates, except
for local shipments between the two
points, and these wero OF very little
Importance. 80 II. 6..
Mr.. Erwin. Of st. Cloud, made the
point that the through tariffs on the
other lines quoted a. low rate to
intermediate points as to st. Paul.
The st. Cloud delegation was pres
emit to see that the same privilege
was accorded towns on the Northern
Pacific. He did not want TO zee
goods shipped through this city to
and from st. Paul at q less rate than
st. Cloud merchants had to pay.
Towns like Elk River and Princeton,
on the Great Northern, were crowd
| ing the st. Cloud merchants out Of
their rightful territory. inst because
they received the benefit Of the low
through rates from the East.
The Little Falls delegation did not
take as radical grounds az were as
sumed By the st. Cloud delegation.
It In quite evident that II the com
mission should rule that the North
ern Pacific must make no lower
through rate than the local rate that
the road would at once abandon all
thought Of competing for through
business, or else make their lake ter
minal in Wisconsin, which would
place the traffic outside of state ju.
risdiction. While some reduction in
local rates may be hoped for. 1t
would be radical and useless demand
to ask that that they be reduced 60
per cent. ri, VIZ a.a IA H .G
There are some INEQUALITIES In local
rates that deserve adjustment. and
there Ia no doubt that the commit
tee can find good work to do In that
direction. 49,, -. ~ .l3@

No Perfect Vision.

From the Philadelphia Record.
OF the many curious facts which are
discussed concerning the eye, what is
known as the blind spot seems the
least understood. In the eye itself GER
tain things my go on which give us
wrong sensations, which, although not
truly illusions. are very much like
them. Thus when we suddenly strike
our heads or faces against something
in the dark, we see stars or bright
sparks, which we know are not real
lights, though they are quite as bright
and sparkling as if they We're. When
we close one eye and look straight
ahead at some word or letter in the
middle of this page, for example, we
seem to see not only the thing we are
looking at, but everything else imme-
diately about it and for long way On
each side. But the truth is, there is n
large round spot, somewhere near the
point at which we are looking, In
which we see nothing. Curiously
enough, the existence of this blind spot
was not discovered by accident and no.
body ever suspected it until Mariotte
reasoned from the construction OF the
eyebaI. that ii must exist, ana pro-
ceeded to find it.

FOOLED KIT CARSON.
How Clever Redskin Outwitted the
Great Scout.

Great Scout.
From the Chicago Record.
Kit Carson's rifle, which was carried
by him for more than 40 years, ana
which never failed him, is now pre-
cious relic in the possession OF the
Montezuma lodge of Masons at santa
Fe, of WHICH he was member.
As an Indian fighter Carson was
matchless, and no one understood bet
ter than he the habits and the nature
of the savage. He told Col 1nman of
Kansas that he was deceived but once
by Indian tactics. He said that ne
was hunting with six others after buf-
falo in the summer of 1885; that they
had been successful and came into
their little bivouac one night very
tired intending to start for the rem
devious at Bent's Fort the next morn
ing They had a number of dogs,
among them some excellent animals.
These barked good deal, and seemed
restless, and the men heard wolves.
II saw" said Kit, two big wolves
sneaking about, one of them quite close
to us. Gordon, one of my men, wanted
to fire his rifle at 1t, but l did not let
him, for fear he would hit dog.

those wolves might be Indians, but
when l noticed one of them turn short
around and heard the clashing of his
teeth as he rushed at one of the dogs

they We're wolves sure enough. But
the red devil fooled me after all, for
he had two dried buffalo bones in his
hands under the wolf skin, and he rat
tied them together every time he turn
ed to make dash at the dogs. Well,

had been at all smart they could have

soon as they fired at us. They killed
one of my men, putting five bullets in
his body and eight in his buffalo robe.

1T WAS WELL RENDERED.
The Ladies Gave .Plutonia" to a Large
and Apprcciative Audience.

Hamilton. Aug. 5.--The young ladies
of the Hadean Dram tic club CT Ham
ilton gave Harry o. Collins comedy in
two parts and a prologue. entitled
"Plutonia. or Life in Hades," at the
Lucas opera house here last Thursday
night, and they were greeted by a
large and well-pleased audience. The
comedy is adapted partly from "A
Houseboat on the Styx." and is full
of bright witticisms, happy character
hits and ridiculous situations. There
were many in town who felt a little
doubtful of the entire success of the
play at the hands of amateurs, but
they were most agreeably surprised last
night and the presentation has evinc-
ed the fact that most of the young
ladies taking part are the possessors
of a high order of talent in this line.
The bright particular stars of the cast
were Miss Virginia McCracken. as Mrs
Noah, Miss Susie Luck, as Queen
Elizabeth, Miss Helen McCrackin, as
Xantippe. Miss Adeline Dow, as Ophe-
lia Miss Carrie Hork. as Marguerite
de Valois and Miss Nellie Dow os Tril-
by and Mrs. McCulloch. as Nine. Re-
camier, with little to choose between
them, and Miss Mabel Markle, as Por-
ton, and Miss Lottie Markle, as Cleo
patra. Some of the work of these
ladies was far ahead of what is often
seen done by professionals, and many
of the clever quips We're greeted with
quick applause. Mr., Collins has GER
tainly written a bright thing, and if
he had been present Thursday night,
as many had hoped he would be, he
would assuredly have received a call
from the delighted audience. In the last
scene few specialties were introduced,
and they were well greeted, particular
ly the solos by Miss Luck and Miss
Adeline DOW, both of whom have SUI
perior voices. Too much cannot b.
said in praise of the work of Miss
Helen McCrackin in the management
of the affair. The people of Hamilton
will hope that the Hadeans will soon
give another performance as good as
the last.

Remarkable
Sale OF
Business Suits
!.

Remarkable because we
are enabled to offer some
seventy five swell business
suits at prices far below
their actual value. This we
do only towards the end of
each season, as they are the
odd sizes of the best selling
numbers in our stock, and
while there are only two or
three sizes Of each kind,
and, consequently, no com
Elete line of sizes in any
one pattern, still every size
is here in a number of diff
ferent neat, tasty patterns.
Our fall purchases will be
large and these must be out
of the way.
