bank was taken from the Minnesota river
near Bloomington Ferry yesterday The

within twenty feet Of the place where the

This spot IL a shorts,distance below the
bridge at Bloomington Ferry and adjolns

MANS clothing was found 81 week ago.
Coroner Nelson visited the scene Of the
drowning and had the body brought to
Minneapolis. where t will be held at the
morgue awaiting Identification. From APP
pearanees 1t is thought That the body had
been in the water about a week, There
was nothing on the remains by which
they could be identified. The man was
apparently Of medium size. perhaps be-
tween thirty and thirty-five years OF age
He was quite bald and had mnstaehe
and a weeks growth Of beard He wore
O black sack, worsted coat, black trous-
ers and pointed black lace shoes. He had
a blue negligee shirt with narrow white
stripe 1t is presumed that he committed
suicide In the river or that he possibly
was drowned by accident, Coroner Nell
son Is Inclined to believe that the man
took his own life.

Duluth, Mimi, Oct ga special to
the News Tribune from Eyeleth.
Mimi, reports one OF the largest ex-
plosions ever occurring In the state.
Seven thousand five hundred pounds
Of dynamite in the powder magazine
OF the Spruse mine, about half a mile
from town, blew up about $50 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. A hole 100 feet
square and twenty-five feet deep
marks the spot where the magazine
stood The force of the explosion was
so great that there Is not a piece OF
glass over a foot square within
radious Of two miles of the mine.
Practically every window and mirror
In Eveleth was broken, while in sa
looms all bottled goods We're demoi-
ished. The damage done to the
Spruce mine was about $4,000, the
mine laboratory and warehouse be-
ing totally wrecked. At least 200 peo-
pie were hurt more or less by being
thrown down by the shock or hit by
shattered glass. The explosion was
plainly felt at Biwabik. twelve miles
distant. The cause Of the explosion
is hard to ascertain. An unknown
man was seen near the magazine
few minutes before 1t occurred, and 1t
is believed that he was responsible. al
though it is pure guess work. At any
rate the fellow has not been seen since.

wreck occurred Is en- grade, by the
side of which Is ditch Of considera-
BILE proportions. The heavy rainfall
washed immense quantities Of earth
down the grade, and this formed a
dam across the ditch. The water
backed up and undermined the grade
for considerable distance, trans
ferring a portion Of 1t into LIQUID mud
and leaving the rails practically with

that the shippers OF the state would
be saved any material sum In freight
by the adoption OF the commissions
pretense OF the administration in con-
nection with the inspection bureau ano
the prison Irvine plant. The commits
sion started out with tremendous
bluff at a general reduction Of rates;
it then qualified this first bluff with
another proposition for classified re-
ductson Of rates; again. 1t proposed 70
substitute for the proposition to re-
duce rates, another proposition to APP
ply certain existing rates to certain
neWly-named points; finally it comes
down to a piteous appeal to make q
special rate for New Ulfn, the govern
or's home town, and three or four 9TH
er small cities under the pretense that
I it Is going to lower the rates at these
points. whereas, In fact, the articles
upon which the reduction is ordered
are not shipped in any large quantities
from these points. 1t is safe To say
that the difference in the cost Of
shipments out" from the proposed
new distributing points would not
amount in any one year to total OF
$4,000. With one hand the commits
sion orders reduction Of rates upon
certain commodities from certain
points, and with the other specifies the
commodities upon which the reduction.
was to take effect, carefully excepting
the articles shipped out from thess
proposed distributing points, Had there
been an honest intention to accomplish
an actual reduction Of rates, the order
would have been made to apply, for
instance, to flour and beer which are
the principal articles shipped from
New Ulm;S it would have been made to
apply to lumber, which is the principal
article shipped from Little Falls; n
stone, which is the principal article
shipped from st. Cloud: to wheat and
other grains. the principal articles
shipped out Of Fergus Falls Moor
head and Crookston and other agri-
cultural centers. Instead of that. II
perpetrates the silly joke Of saying
that the brewers and millers Of New
Ulm may ship paints. glass and
oils at a reduced rate that the lum-
bermen of Little Falls may ship gro
ceries. clothing, boots and shoes at a
reduced rate; the quarrymen Of st.
Cloud and Mankato may ship hides
and pelts and machinery at "a reduced
rate; and the farmers and grain men
of Fergus Falls. Moorhead and Crooks
ton may ship groceries, nails and lace
curtains ait reduced rate.
The whole order is so cheap a piece
Of political pettifogging, and SO trans
parent ruses to catch votes, that 1t
only needs this explanation Of its
true character to expose it to the rfdi-
Guile and contempt Of every Intelligent
citizen in the state.
