Georgia court once overheard a con-
yersation between his cook and a
nurse, who were discussing the re-
cent funeral OF a member Of their
race, at which there had been a great
profusion of flowers. The nurse said:
A'When / die, don't plant no flowers
on my grave, but plant a good old
watermelon vine, and when it gets
ripe, you come dar, and don't you eat
it, but jes' bus it On de grave and let
dat good old juice dribble down

ing of a watermelon without eating
it would certainly be q sacrifice and a
test of friendship.

w. /. Brown on the Benefits From
Municipalities Conducting Them.
The Sacred Thirst society held its
monthly meeting and social gathering
at Cretin hall last evening. The meeting
was very we'll attended. Rev. Father
Walsh, of St. Joseph's church, gave an
address on temperance, in which he re-
viewed the splendid work being done by
the temperance societies of the Catholic
church.
W. l. Brown spoke upon the Municipal
Ownership of Saloons and urged the
merit of such a system. He believed that
treating could be done away with if mu-
nicipal ownership was adopted, and point
ed to many other benefits that, would &C
crue All regulation prescribed by law
would be complied with, and the Sunday
saloon would be a thing of the past. Mr..
Brown believed that If the saloon was a
necessary evil, which he contended 1t
was not, it would be far better to put 1t
under municipal control, where the evil
would be reduced to q minimum.
A musical and literary programme was
given following the speeches. Miss Cora
Wagner gave piano number, followed
by a recitation by Miss Rose Koeler, Miss
Berna Laphain gave a recitation entitled
Lady Maud's Oath" Miss Edith and
James McElroy contributed to the pro-

State Treasurer Koerner dfd a land Of
fee business yesterday and expects the
rush to continue for several days, as the
railroad companies are contributing their
share of the public tax just now. and a
considerable amount is still due from this
source. Over $250,000 was paid into the
states exchequer yesterday, which, with
the exception of a check for $685. OF
from the university, the enSre amount
comes from railroad companies as tax
upon their gross earnings for 1899.
The daily receipts of the state treasurer
during the last week or ten days have
been very large, but yesterdays business
was a record breaker. Taxes from rail-
road companies, paid on basis Of per
cent upon the gross earnings, are
due Feb. l, and very close to
81, 900, 900 has been paid in thus far. Nearly
every return shows from 5 to Is per cent
increase in the amount of gross earnings
and proportionate expansion of the
share which the state receives. The
Northern Pacific started the ball rolling
yesterday morning with a small piece Of
paper representing S6,30S.08, the per
cent tax on earnings aggregating $6,2lO,-
269. 20 on the main line. In addition to this
the same company sent in another check
for s4,09209 to settle for earnings of the
Fertile & Carthage branch, which
amounted to $3.50 .73.
The 500 line also contributed a nice lit
tie check for s4S, IL for the privilege of
earning s1,626, 27055 A small check from
the Green Bay & Western was received
for S5S The company operates just one
mile of road and earned very close to
$1,000 The Duluth & Sioux City road do
mated s309.93. In addition to these
amounts the state university made set
Element with the state for its January
receipts, which amounted to $23,596.02.
The money was derived from the follow
ing sources: Fees from students, ST., 794;
sales of Salt Spring lands, 49, 40; sales
Minnetonka fruit farm, $3.50; receipts den-
tai infirmary $3.50; miscellaneous, s253.OS
school of agriculture, sS7S.O9; experimental
station, 1,10764; substation at Crookston,

The contribution from Mr.. Nerthrops

to the grand total of $263, 151.24.

The Northern Pacific announces that

The new system is now in effect and will

tory west of st. Paul, and has caused
serious objections from shippers as well
as consignees.
The danger of overcharges is done away
with by the new method of handling ship
ments Each road in the past has taken
out what 1t considered its fair share of
the freight rate and mistakes In compu-
tation have frequently compelled shippers
to advance more than should have been
charged. In such cases the only method
of obtaining the rebate due was to file
overcharge claims and await the process
of red tape by which they were consid-
cred and allowed.
One way bill, under the new system,
carried the shipment from receiving point
to destination. Arrangements entered
into between the various companies con-
cerned in the agreement have adjusted
the pro rata division of freight charges.

action OF the road in reducing the pas
senger fares in North Dakota from four
to three cents a mile is in line with
President Millers plans for the reduc-
ton Of high tariffs. 1t is stated that the
recent action was not due to. legislative
pressure but resulted from the decision
that the road would handle more bust
ness at a lower rate and lose nothing
that unless reduction was made volun-
tarily, before another two years the state
legislature would have forced it. Passen-
ger tariffs in territory west Of the Da-
kotas have been reduced in several in
stances and the ultimate purpose Of the
management is to introduce a three-cent
uniform rate.

made Yesterday So far as has been
learned, nothing contraband was found.
Three different brokers stated yester'
day that the tests were being made fcf
Mr. McI.eods benefit. They alleged that
for three weeks limited amount of
transportation has been available from
several Chicago lines, though it has been
handled very carefully, and great pre-
caution has been used to prevent its GO
ing into wrong hands. The market has
been tested SO often that the brokers
and scalpers are wise to every attempt

Rate Discrimination.

Rate Discrimination.
CHICAGO, Feb. IA committee of the
Chicago Board of Trade has sent an open
letter to j. Pierpont Morgan, as the
foremost representative of the financial
and railroad interests" calling his atten-
ton to violations Of the interstate COM
merce law on the part of the railroads,
and asking him TO use his influence in
remedying them. The letter declares that
the railroads of the country are making
rates of u and II cents per hundredweight
on grain shipped from Chicago to New
York by a certain elevator company, and
charging the general public 20 and % cents
per hundredweight. In the letter the
point is made that the interstate COM
merce commission has declared that
transportation is a service and not a
commodity, and that the public has a
right to demand it at fixed rates. Accord
ing to the communication the business OF
Chicago merchants is being ruined by the
favoritism shown. The letter is signed by
a committee of ten, of which John S.
Carpenter is chairman.
