in some way that the girl had headed

aunt, who lives with her mother, that
she left home. She says the aunt makes
it very uncomfortable for her, but as
she is not of age, of course, her mother
can compel her to return home.

The fight in this county seems to be
largely on the representative of the

Fort Dodge, Nov. 1.-THE west bound
passenger train on the Illinois Central,
which is due to arrive at Fort Dodge at
2:45 a. M, was delayed Monday by
running into drove of sixty-five high
grade cattle at Dunlap crossing. The
train is one of the fast trains on the
Central and is always a heavy one.
The time is short and every minute
counts. Just how the cattle came TO be
on the track is not known but when
an inventory was taken of the accident
it was found that thirteen We're dead
and five badly injured. The cattle We're
all fine stock and the loss will be quite
heavy 1t was narrow escape for the
whole train. as the mutilated carcasses
OF the cattle made it a difficult matter
to start the train. The forward part of
the engine under the pilot was choked
with the heads and horns of the dead
animals so badly that the delay was
made necessary before they could be
removed and the train started.

JUDGE REAGAN TELLS
What He Knows About Discrimina-
ition In Freight Rates.

st. Louis, June 16.-Judge John H.
Reagan, chairman of the Texas board
of railroad commissioners, appeared be
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion today and made a statement in re-
gard to the alleged discrimination
against domestic and in favor of eX-
porting handlers of grain and the al
legged discrimination against the pro-
ducts of grain.
1t has been charged that railroads
making export points have made spe-
cial rates on grain for export and the
commission received a protest from the
handlers of grain for domestic con-
sumption. It was also charged that
there was discrimination against the
products of grain.
The meeting today was largely at
tended by railroad men connected with
western roads. Most of the morning
session was devoted to hearing Judge
Reagan, who appeared for those who
are protesting against the alleged dis
elimination. After stating the situa-
ton as it appeared to him and in an
swer to a question as to the most prac-
ticaI remedy for the difficulty, Judge
Reagan suggested that there should be
a meeting of railroad men and ship
pers fom all over the country at which
the situation could be thoroughly can
vassed and some agreement reached
which would be satisfactory to all con-
cerned. He though it possible for the
railroads and the shippers to reach such
an agreement.
Chairman Knapp asked if, in view of
the legislation against rate agreements
and tfe decisions of the courts uphold
ing such legislation, it would be posi-
BILE to make such an agreement valid
before the bar. Il am not wholly pre-
pared to answer that question: replied
Judge Reagan, land 1 am inclined to
believe it would be necessary before an
agreement could be reported that we
have some more legislation on the sub
ject This would be necessary, not
only to make the agreement valid and
binding, but also to fix penalties for its
violation. Certainly the spirit of such
an agreement is not opposed to the
spirit Of the laws against pools and
trusts. Such an agreement would be
for the benefit of the people and the
shippers as well as the railroads. There
is certainly some middle ground upon
which all can stand with equal advant-
age"
chairman Knapp thanked Judge Rea-
gan for his valuable suggestions, and
the tsstking of testimony from the rail-
road men on the question involved was
resumed.

BEST OF HEALTH.
Is Declared to Prevail In the Army
In the Philippines.

New York. June 16-The statements
to the effect that men around Manila
are dying like flies and that the war
department has been compelled to SUD-
press the regulation health reports
which it was formerly customary to
ly false, but serve the good purpose of
bringing out the fact that the health
conditions in the American army under
General Otis are not only astonishing
~ excellent, but have proba bly, never
been equaled in any army in tropical
countries, says the Washington corre-
spondent of the Tribune Compared
with that of last summer in Cuba, the
comparative immunity from death or
serious illness of the troops fighting
outside of Manila seems little short of
miraculous. From the landing of Gen
eral Anderson's first military expedi-
ton near Cavite on June 80, last year,
up to the last weekly report from Cen
era1 Otis, dated June 6. there have been
only 364 deaths from disease, although
his total force has been 10000 men. In
the same period SO men have died from
wounds.
In view of the notorious insalubrity of
Manila and its envrons. these figures
are almost Incredible They challenge
contrast with the best English expert
ence in Egypt or in India, and they
surpass even the excellent conditions
that exist in Cuba, where there is no
fighting and the men are not exposed
to the elements, but have comfortable
garrisons Men drowned or who have
died from injuries received otherwise
than in battle are counted in the total
of 364. This total is interesting com
pared with that of the men killed out
right in action with the Filpinos from
February to June 6,coverng the period
of active hostilities. In those four

mandatory so far as the requirement
pertaining to the action of the com
miSSiOnerS is concerned, yet the COM
missioners have refused to take action
and the suit is the result. 1t is brought
on the relation of the state of Kansas
by the county attorney, w A. McCauS-
land and is mandamuS proceedings to
compel the commissioners to name the
trustees and proceed to comply with
the law.
The reasons why the commissioners
failed to act are an interesting feature
of the case. The board met in official
session with the intention of naming
the trustees June 1.
r. w. NJ. Roe, representing the citi-
ZenS of the county, appeared before the
board and presented petition contain
ing 1903 signatures, asking the board
not to take action towards complying
with the requirements of the law. The
petition which is made a part of the
case filed in the supreme court, sets
out the following reasons why the COM
missioners should not act:
First-The people of Elk county have
not been consulted or have had no voice
in the matter.
Second-We believe the act was 81
legal unjust and uncalled for.
Third-We believe that our county is
not able at present to build and sup
port high school
Fourth-We believe to force this
school on our people would materially
injure our district schools by taking
Fifth-We believe that on account Of
the strong opposition to the school it
would not be a success if established.
The county commissioners thereupon
by a majority vote decided to annul the
law and agreed to take no action. The
members of the board s. u. Ellsworth
and L. A. Freeman voted this way
but Jefferson Hurst voted mo- and in
sisted that the commissioners comply
with the law.
Then the litigation was inaugurated

munity.
the supreme court and declaring the
law unreasonable and unnecessary the
commissioners state that the petition
against it is signed by a majority of
the taxpayers of the county.
A law passed in 1886 provides the
method for the establishment of county
high schools and this law has been held
constitutional by the supreme court
The enactment of the special bill is for
the purpose of enabling the county to
avail itself of the opportunities afford
ed by the old law. 1t is the opinion of
lawyers who are watching this case
with much interest that although there
may be some opposition to the county
high school, that the proceedings have
been regular and that the commission
-ers have clearly violated the law by re-
fusing TO name trustees to take charge
of the high school work.
An alternative writ of mandamus was
issued by the supreme court returnahle
July 5, at which time the case will come
up for hearing.
