Railway officials in this state are some
what amused by the attacks made upon rail-
ways in the legislature by men who insist
that the roads do not pay sufficient taxes
and charge too much for passenger service.
AS rule these attacks have come from leg
lslators who are under personal obligation to
the roads and who should in all decency re-
frain from attacking companies to which they
are under deep obligations
One of the leaders in the crusade against
the roads, said railway man to reporter
for The G o yesterday ais one Of the
most persistent grafters we have to- deal
with. 1 will give an instance of his hoggish-
ness Last summer he informed several rail-
way officials that he wanted to go to the leg
islature. They encouraged him to make the
run.
1T was necessary for him to travel about
his district, and he asked for passes. He
got them. Then when time came for the
convention he calmly asked the road to fur
nish him ninety passes for his delegates.
1t was steep proposition, but the road gave
the passes. He was nominated AS soon as
he came to St. Paul he wanted passes for
himself his wife and several members of his
family. He got them. Then he wanted
passes for personal friends in his town and
district who wanted to come to this city to
see him sitting in state at the capitol. He
got them. He has since obtained other
passes for other old friends In his town who

about ready to ask him to please pay fare
or two when he serenely bobbed up as
fighter of the railroads, and has since cham
p1oned every measure intended to injuSe the
roads, Now, the passes were not given to
him as bribe, but it does seem as though
in all fairness he should do one of two
things-either accept favors from the
roads and fight them squarely and hard as
he can, or recognize what the roads have
done for him and say nothing. We should
all respect him more" 32

THOUGHT 1T A HOTEL.
Insane Mans Queer Mix-Up at the
Central Station.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1.-THE CEN
trail police station has been mistaken
many a time by befuddled individuals,
but the climax was reached this morn
ing. A man apparently intoxicated en-
tered the station and called for Charley
Anderson. He could not give an intel
ligible answer except to say that he
was in Rochester and in Anderson's
hotel. Jailer Needham tried to get
some sense out of the fellows 1nco-
herent humble, but it was impossible.
Finally it was decided to prove to him
that he was not in Anderson's hotel by
locking him up, as he showed himself
irresponsible. The stranger did not
mind 1t a bit, but took off his shoe in
a vain eTdeavor to find a match to light
a cigarette. He continued to act queer
ly for a time, but after sleep appear
ed to be in his right mind.
He had in the meantime been charg-
ed with drunkenness, being booked as
Edward Bailey. In the police court he
entered a plea Of not guilty and his
case was continued to this morning.
During the day the officers learned
that Bailey has been confined in the
Rochester insane asylum and that An
derson was in charge Of one Of the
branches. Bailey imagined himself
back at the hospital when he entered
the station. He had been drinking, so
he said, and his old malady had re-
turned temporarily.

"BIG MITT" MEN
The Police Believe They Have Five

of Them In Custody.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 14.-There are
III custody at the central station five
men who the police believe belong to
the ''big mitt" fraternity. A big mntt'
man is one who is a card sharper, and
whose vocation is to allure innocents
into games where the swindler always
has the best of it.
The five prisoners have been in town
for week or two, and are said to
have come to Minneapolis from Moor
head and Fargo, which cities are
known as headquarters for crooks OF
all descriptions. Inspectors Howard
and Lawrence gathered in the men on
Washington avenue this afternoon.
Their hang-out has been in the neigh
borhood of the Milwaukee depot, where
it is convenient to lure the proverblal
greenhorn into a game where he soon
separates from his money. The ponce
say that the prisoners have already
swindled a few strangers, but their op-
erations have not been extensive. 1t Is
believed that their scheme was tie eaten

city within the next month or two.
Henry Wise. Martin Nelson, Edward
Smith,. Joseph Hanson. Edward Doe
are the names given by the prisoners.
They were charged with vagrancy.

William Bush's Penchant for Other

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Feb. 1.-THE
troubles of William Bush have doubled
within the past forty-eight hours. He
was charged with petit larceny Mon
day; today he was also booked for
grand larceny. According to the po-
lice, Bush had a penchant for taking
overcoats which belonged to the other
fellow. He was first arrested for steal
ing coat from a new building on Hen
nepin avenue, and today Inspectors
Morrisey and Stavlo found Bush's land
lord, who claimed that the prisoner had
also made away with his top coat. Ac-
cordingly, Bush was again charged,
and this time it was grand larceny.
The building from which the first coat
was taken, Hennepin avenue near
Fifth street, was broken into Saturday
night, and carpenter tools and paint
were stolen. The detectives wonder if
Bush, who had been working in the
place, knows anything of the burglary

The stockholders of the MINNEAPOLIS
&c st. Louis road yesterday met in
Minneapolis and voted to ADOPT the
resolutions passed by the directors re-
Gently to extend the road to Omaha.
The company will issue $25, 0O0. ODo of
bonds to purchase the MINNEAPOLIS.
New Ulm & Southwestern railway. the
Wisconsin, Minnesota & Pacific from
Morton. Mimi, to WATERFOWL, s. D.,
and build the extension from New Ulm
to Omaha. The company will also re-
fund the debt Of $40, 000 900, and retire
first preferred stock Of the par value
OF $2,5O0,000. This will make the capt.
tai stock Of the company $40, 200, 000 and
the second preferred stock will be-
come first preferred
The construction of the extension to
Omaha will commence in the spring
when the ground will be in condition
for working. The road will be pushed
to completion by fall, in time for the
transportation of grain from the Iowa
and Nebraska farms to MINNEAPOLIS
and Duluth
The Northwestern road does not like
the plan of the Minneapolis & st. Louis.
as it will not only cut across that road
several times between Minneapolis and
Omaha, but it will tend to deprive the
Northwestern Of much business that
now goes to Chicago. The Iowa and
Nebraska farmers will be benefited by
the new road, as it will enable them
to get their grain to market quicker
and more cheaply than at present, and
1t will benefit the Twin Cities, as it
will bring more grain to them and more
merchandise, and will open up a direct
market in new territory for the jobbers
Of both cities.
1t is understood that the beginning
of the new line will be the signal for
considerable litigation by other and
rival lines, which want to prevent the
Minneapolis & st. Louis occupying the
new territory. ~
