UNKNOWN MAN KILLED.
Body Found on the Northern Pacific
Track Near CaIeb


ST. CLOUD, May 1O-(SpeciaL)- H.
Freeman, of this city, who superintended
the cutting of 100000 logs at Bemidji
during the past winter, will begin his
spring driving Saturday. The logs, which
are now inclosed in the waters of Trout
River lake, will be released and allow
ed to float through Cass lake and thence
down the Mississippi to ST Paul, where
they will then be taken to Iowa points
Mr.. Freeman has a contract for supply
ing one of the large Dubuque firms with
logs, fulfillment of which will require
three years.
The body of an unknown man was
found on the Northern Pacific track, near
the little village of Caleb, which is only
a few miles from this place, at an early
hour this morning. The body was so
badly mutilated by trains, several Of
which must have passed over it during
the night, as to render Identification i'm
possible No one who viewed the frag-
mentary remains could detect any sign
of acquaintance and it was supposed the
man was a tramp making his way on
the road. The body was discovered by
the trainmen of the early morning east
bound passenger.
At the meeting Of the members of
the state reformatory board here yes
terday measure was adopted whereby
the inmates of the institution are to
be granted regular daily rations of to-
bacco. Heretofore it has been against
the rules of the board to allow or even
tolerate the use Of tobacco among the
inmates, but from the fact that the great
majority of the young men are habitual
users of tobacco 1t was deemed wise
to remove the restriction. The most dill
gent efforts of the officers to enforce the
prior rule proved failures in
large number of instances and the in
novation lessons the arduous tasks of the
guards and removes a very great source
of constant annoyance.
Two men and boy were arrested at
the Northern Pacific depot here this
morning at 1 o'clock on suspicion Of
being accomplices in robberies that have
been committed on the road at ST. Cloud
during the past two months. A tele-
gram from Private Detective McFot-
ridge, of the Northern Pacifics service,
at st. Paul, was the authority for the
arrests. The men were seen by the de-
tective at noon today and found to be
innocent parties They were released.

FIELD LEFT TO TAWNEY.
w. B. Anderson Withdraws, Giving
His Reasons for It.

WINONA, Mimi, May 1O-In a card
published in the Republican this evening
test for the Republican nomination for
congressman in the First district. He crit
lelses strongly the, action taken at the
county presidential convention in the
district yesterday indorsing Tawney, say
ing, in part:
I had supposed the organization of the
party was for the purpose of assisting in
the election of candidates nominated at
the republican convention, and was not
formed solely to secure, unfairly if nee
essary, the nomination of any particular
man as candidate for congress in this
district. If yesterdays convention were
called to indorse Tawney, then later con-
gressional conventions will be only simplv
an Innocent amusement I desired to
make fair and friendly contest for the
congressional nomination, one which
should in no way imperil the success of
the Republican party in the district. Be
HeVing this cannot now be done, 1 desire

st. Paul & Duluth VIII Be Operated
as q Branch,

Branch.
The Northern Pacific intimates that the
st. Paul & Duluth, until July l, will be
operated as at present. President Mel
len was induced to talk yesterday for
the first time since returning from New
York, and said:
THE absorption of the Duluth will
make it necessary for the Northern Pa
cif1c to handle the property as part of
the Lake Superior division. This will
add to The division z47 miles of track
and will make it the most valuable on
the entire system. Regarding the effect
of the transfer on the employees of the
st. Paul & Duluth, L have previously
given assurance that the Northern Pacific
will do its best to prevent the change
causing them loss. We shall do all in
our power to find satisfactory bel tbs for
the employees of the road and while we
VIII be unable to use all of them, we will
make every effort to do what is right"

MEET RATES OF 500.
st. Paul-ChicaGO Lines Announce
May Excursions.


The st. Paul-Chicago lines have decided
to meet the 500 line "homeseekers' excur-
sions" to New York, Boston and New
England points, with a rate of one fare
plus 81, uniform on all lines. An
nouncement of the move was conveyed
in kilograms from Chicago yesterday
Tickets will be sold May Is, the date of
the next 500 line excursion East, good
only for continuous passage The re-
turn limit is twenty DAYS from date Of
sale without stopover privileges. It is
said that the decision of the st. Paul
lines to meet the 500 rates May Is was
reached at a meeting held here Wednes-
day.
The retaliatory measure will play hav-
oc with summer tourist business and will
have the immediate effect of demo-alizing
conditions in the East, where the rela-
lions between the lines into Chicago are
none too friendly One of the unforeseen
possibilities of the present situation is
the withdrawal of the Canadian Pacific
from the presidents agreement, which
was signed by that line on condition that
differences between the 500 and ST. Paul
Chicago lines be terminated.

SHENANDOAH. Pa, Oct. 9.-Pre-i.
dent Mitchell has issued a call for q
convention Of mine workers of the
districts comprising the anthracite field
to meet in Scranton, Pa, on Friday
next.
I'm view Of the fact that the mine
operators have posted notices Offering
an advance i'll wages formerly paid and
believing 1t to be our plain duty to con-
suit your wishes as to our future action,
we deem it advisable to ask YOU to Sc
!ect delegates to represent you in con.
vention.
"lou are therefore notified that a
convention will be held ut Scranton,
Pa. beginning Friday. Oct. II, at 10
q. IN.
1.-The basis of representation will be
one vote for each 100 persons on strike,
or If desired, one delegate may repre-.
sent as many as 500 mine workers; but
no delegate will be allowed to cast more
than five votes.
Zach delegate should have creden.
tials signed BY the chairman and secre-
tary OF the meeting at which he is
elected; and whenever possible creden.
tials should bear the seal Of the local

reports one Of the largest explosions !
ever occurring in the state. Seven
thousand five hundred pounds Of DIV.
nainite in the powder magazine at the
spruce mine, about half n mile from
town. blew up about $50 o'clock. 4
hole 100 feet square and % fee. deep
marks the spot where the magazine
stood. The force Of the explosion was
SO great that there is not piece Of
glass over foot square within radius
OF two miles Of the mine. Practically
every window and mirror in Evcleth
was broken. while in saloons all bottled
goods were demolished in addition.
The loss in the city is estimated ut
100000. The damage done to the
Spruce mine was about $1,000, the
mine laboratory and warehouses being
totally wrecked.
Al least 200 people We're hurt more
or less from being thrown down by the
shock or hit by shattered glass. The
explosion was plainly felt at Biwabik.

plosion is hard to explain. An nn-
known man was seen near the maga.
