He thinks that it will be a mistake
to hold the main exercises in the EX-

opposed to too much speechifying." A

on hte programme in Pittsburg and they
took up so much of the time in addt-

exercises that when dinner, which was

was announced scarcely corporal 3
guard of soldiers could be mustered to
partake thereof.
Speaking Of politics, Judge Reed said
that the only thing worth mentioning was
that Quay is still on top.

is going.
AS to trusts, they don't bother us
much in Pennsylvania. In fact, so many
people depend for their bread and butter
on trusts there. so-called, they are rather

trusts that such plank would hardly be-

PUZZLES THE DOCTORS.
Freak of Electricity That Has Then
Guessing.

REDWOOD FALLS, Mimi, Sept. s.
The local physicians are considerably
stirred I'D over the death by lightning
of Ernest Luscher, and the killing ! Il
horse, and the injury to Ernest's father,
Rudolph Luscher, in New Avon town.
ship, this county, On Saturday morning.
OF last week.
The whole sad affair was an electrical
freak, pure and simple. The boy Ernest
I4uscher, was never stfiick by tlfeS@Eclt,
as careful medical examination under the
direction of Coronec \. IS. Hawes, has
proved but death seems to haze resulted
from the terrific shock of the bolt which
struck the father, but which did not Kill
the latter. The terrible shock also killed
three horses, as a careful examination re-
vealS.
= Ernest was on the wagon, throwing
bundles to his father, who was on the
stack, at the time of the accident. The
bolt struck the fathe' in the axis Of the
right arm, ran down the arm to between
the two middle fingers, from which it
passed to the fathers abdomen, tearing
a button off his OverallS, burning the
hair on the abdomen, running down the
right leg, tearing the overalls in seVerMi
places, and then tearing open the sl1oe
and passing out on to the straw stack, to
which it set lire. Mr.. Luscner was
Knocked unconscious, bllt some way OF
other rolled off the stack and was res
cued just in time to save his life by
neighbors who saw that the stack was
or fire and came to the rescue.
Mr.. Luscher was taken TO his farm
residence and placed in bed and DR..
Halves called. When the latter arrived
at o'clock in the afternoon Mr. Luscher
was out of bed and walking around the
farm premises, attending to his usual
yocations. Medical m1l state that the
case of killing the boy and a horse by
the shock of the bolt, and not killing the
man by the bolt striking the latter fairly
is one of the most interesting feats of
lightning that they have ever heard of,
or that is on record in the annals Of acct
dents by lightning.
Mr. Luscher suffered a loss of about
five loads of grain by reason of the burn
ing of the partly completed stack.
At the same time, right at the mo-
ment that this bolt descended, another
struck the farmhouse of Henry Graft
several miles west of there, and injured
it quite badly.

City and County officials Will Help
the Druggists.

The telephone controversy is becoming
more and more complicated. The drug
gists are not alone in opposing the COM
pany and it's measures, but the entire
telephone-using public is Interested
The company apparently ignores COM
petition, and is pushing its plans for
cutting off the indiscriminate use of the
telephone and forcing into use the nickel
in-the-slot machines.
G. P. Wainman, general manager Of the
company, says he will not permit 1.-The
sixty or seventy druggists in this city
to run his business for him. and says
he will cut on the public use of the drug
store telephones as soon as the arrange,
ments have been completed and that If
the druggists will not allow the installa-
ton Of the toll instruments in their places
of business, he will establish pay stations
as near to the drug stores as possible and
thus cut off any business which the drug
gists derive from persons who enter their
stores simply for the purpose of using
the phone.
The druggists, on the other hand, back,
ed by the business men of the city, say
they will never submit to the old com
pany, and that they will contract for the
Mississippi Valley telephones for the
benefit Of their friends and customers.

Buying Them Up-Request of Kid
Can Secure Its Claim If Proven
Valid.
MILWAUKEE, Wis. Sept. S.-The re-
port of Special Master Cary who controll-
ed the sale of the lands of the Northe:n
Pacific Railroad company, described as
lying east of the Missouri river, in Mime
sofa and North Dakota, has been filed in
the United States court. According to
the moneys the lands brought the cred
itors would receive 2 per cent on their
claims, but 1t develops that the Northern
Pacific Railway company, the new cor
poration, has been quietly engaged for
some time past in buying up the claims,
so that at the present time it owns near
ly all of them.
During one of the arguments about two
years ago Judge Jenkins remarked that
the property would be obliged to bear the
burden of the claims, and it is understood
the company preferred to buy up the
claims at large discounts rather than take
the chance of being obliged to pay them
In full, as the court might order, that
power having been reserved to the court
in the final clause of the decree under
which the property was sold.
Mr.. Cary this morning also filed his re-
port concerning the claims filed against
the company. The total amount of claims
allowed is $685. 032, 92S.53. The Northern Pa
cific Railway company hold the two larg-
est claims, one being for $751; III, 318.37 being
the deficiency judgment, and one for
81, S66, 27859. A great many claims are dis
allowed, but they are for small sums.
The claim of the Page Car Wheel COM
pany for car wheels sold the Northern
Pacific company under contract was ap-
pealed from by the Northern Pacific Rail-
| way company, but in an opinion handed
down this morning Judge Jenkins sus-
| tains the master.
| There will be no objection to the con-
| firmation of the report, 1T is understood.
| Kidder county, North Dakota, applied to
Judge Jenkins asking that the sum of
| 100000 from the proceeds of the sale be
! set aside pending the determination OK
| the suit that Kidder county has inter-
| posed for taxes that are claimed to be
! due. This, however will not be done.
| but the court in it's decision states If
| the property is liable the railway COM
| pany will have to pay, and the matter
| has been referred to Frank M. Hoyt as
| special master, to hear and determine the
question.
