The Northern Pacific management has al

this method of squaring accounts with it.
The story Of the rate schedule has already
become public gossip in railway circles, and
yesterday all kinds of rumors were flying

them general and applicable to everyone who

If there is a disturbance the Canadian Pa

there will be Generalization of rates that is
only paralleled by the Klondike rate war of

ntCBE 8 MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE,
~ 20 WASHINGTON Az. SOUTH.

MINNEAPOLIS Feb. 1S.-Dr. Floyd s.
mickey. Of New York city, arrived in Mime
apolis yesterday. He was called here on &C.
count OF the serious Illness of his mother.
DR.. mickey left Minneapolis about six
years ago, and since that time has been
practicing IN Now York city While in New
York, DR.. mickey has been engaged IN q
work which has attracted attention all over
the world. For the past five years. he, to-
gether with Prof. William Halicck. professor
of physics in Columbia university, In New
York city, has been engaged in an invesu-
cation OF tie mechanism OF voice production.
To render such an investigation Of any
practical value 1t became necessary to devise
some means of recording the vibrations
air that so to make up the human
voice so that a permanent record OF each In
diviGCal voice could be made and preserved.
This was accomplished after about three
years OF hard work on the part Of these gen
tlemen. by means of very ingenious piecs
of apparatus and also by the aid OF photo
graphy. One of the results of this work is
the ability to photograph any voice, and
those who know how TO interpret these photo
gard to the quality and conveying power OF
the voice by seeing a photograph of 1t as
they could by actually hearing 1t produced.
This can be done with even more certainty
than the appearance of a person can be judged
from his photograph This part Of the work
has aroused Il great deal CT interest in scien-
tiic circles, as II is the first successful at
tempt to photograph the voice.
The voice work has been reported to the
American Association for the Advancement of
Science to the New York Academy of Science
ard various other scientific bodies, and has
always teen received with enthusiasm DR..
mickey and Prof. Halock were twice request
ed TO exhibit their Photographic apparatus at
the annual exhibition given by the New York
Academy OF Science at which all the latest
, scientific apparatus is shown and each time
1t proved TO be tie star attraction. Voice
photography. however, is only part of the
work accomplished by these gentlemen. Ar
ticleS written by them have attracted wide
abroad. These have been translated into both
French End German. Photographs of the
most celebrated voices have been TAKEN in
Guiding such singers as the De Reszke's Nor
dca and Calve. An effort will he made to get
DR.. mickey to deliver a lecture on this
most interesting and important topic while he
is here.

STILLWATER. Mimi, Feb. 1S-(Spe-
cial)-A citizens meeting was held at
the city hall this afternoon to discuss
the proposed ordinance granting NJ. J.
Mandelbaum and other Cleveland cap
italists street railway ordinance A
number Of objections were made to the
ordinance as presented, particularly in
the matter of a route and the time OF
running cars. The ordinance provides
that cars shall be run over the entire
line every thirty minutes in the sum-
mer time and every hour during the
winter.
Most of the citizens who participated
In the discussion stated that they were
of the opinion that the ordinance
should provide at least a thirtyminute
service the year around.
The ordinance will come before the
council next Tuesday evening and will
probably be adopted with a few modi
fications meeting the requirements and
views of citizens. Mr.. Mandelbaum will
then have ninety days in which to ac-
cept the franchise. and in case it Is
accepted must furnish a bond, guaran
teeing to have the road in operation
within a year.
The heirs of the late Hon Isaac Sta
pies. who were proponents in the will
contest, have evidently decided not to
appeal. having applied to Judge VIII
son. of the probate court, for the ap-
pOintment of R. s. Davis, A. c. HOSpes
and F. w. Gail as administrators. An
appeal to the district court from the
appointment of these administrators
will probably be taken by the contest
ant on the date of the hearing.

Heretofore three cars would start for a

the place Of three. The cars are made to hold

FIGHT ON METCALF.
Register OF Deeds Must Defend His
Title to His Office.

MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 1S.-The right of Reg
lister of Deeds Metcah to his position is
threatened with attack in court by Ralph
Rees his leading opponent in the recent cleo
ton. Mr.. Rees does not hesitate to say that
he has the matter in the hands of attorneys,
who have in course Of preparation papers to
be used in proceedings to be instituted for
the purpose of securing Mr.. Metcalf'c re-
moval. His lawyers have little 10 say. 1t is
understood, however, that two charges will
be made against Mr.. Metcalf.
The first is that Mr.. Metcalf in several
cases made pledges in his office for the pur-
pose of securing support at the convention
of last summer and the election of the fall.
The other claim which it is said will be
made by Mr.. Rees is that Mir. Metcalf ex-
ceeded the limit of expenditures for election
expenses. as allowed by the corrupt prac-
tees act

500 GOT THE SOLDIERS.

Took Some Business That the st.
Paul-ChicagO Roads Wanted.
The 500 last night took a number of SOL
diers discharged from the Seventh infantry
at Fort Smelling to Boston and other East
ern points, and thus got ahead of some Of
the st. Paul and Chicago lines, which have
been making bid for the soldiers.
There are about 120 men, whose terms Of
enlistment have expired and they are entitled
to travel pay to the point of their enlist
ment, which in nearly every instance was
Boston. The 500 was the first to put in a
rate for the men, and the st. ul-Chicago
lines then tried to meet it, but the 500 had
secured the bulk Of the business before the
others were aware that it was to be had,
and their efforts to compete with the 500 in
this instance proved abortive.
Harry Huntington, the SEQ agent in this
city smiled oomplacentiy when he learned
that the American roads were trying to get
the soldiers away from him.
The soldiers who travel East the st.
Paul-Chicago lines will get, as good rate
now as the 500 gives, but they Will not be

Orleans for St. Paul.
Assistant General Passenger Agent Mac
Rae, of the Omaha, returned to this city yes
terday after an absence OF more than week.
He went to New Orleans With an excursion
party, and on his way back stopped at Chi
cago to attend e meeting Of the st. Paul
Chicago committee of the Western Passenger
association He said that the committee did
not transact any business Of special import
ance to travellers.
The regular meeting Of the association will
be held late this week or early next, and
then something of interest may transpire The
association is to consider plans Of reorganiza-
ton, and also schemes for the organization
of other associations, covering portions Of the
territory which that association now handles
exclusively. Mr.. MacRae said his trip to
New Orleans not as agreeable as was
anticipated For the first time in twenty
five years the city was snow-bound, and the
Mardt Gras festivities were consequently a
failure The streets were slushy and the air
was too cold for comfort. and there were
few who enjoyed the show.
Mardi Gras were delayed on the trains by
the snow blockades. and did not arrive until
it was all over There were many hundreds
of persons thus disappointed. The tempera-
ture during the festivities was degrees
above Zero something TO which the Southern
ers were totally unaccustomed.
Mr.. MacRae said he was glad to get back
to warm climate.
