TO BRING HEMP THIS WAY.
Great Northern Makes n Low Rate to
Divert Philippine Trade on the
Product to semitic.

Manila hemp, which has heretofore been
supplied to the American trade by way
of the Suez canal, will hereafter come by
way of Seattle and eastward for the pres
ent over the Great Northern. AT least
President Hill has named a rate from
this point to st. Paul that will secure
this product In the Central Middle and
Western states cheaper than 1t can be
laid down in New York by the all-water
route through the SueZ.
The first large shipment to take the
new route will arrive in Seattle about
June l and is intended largely for the use
of the state prison board of Minnesota.
Other shipments will follow soon after
wards, as 1t is the intention to at least
supply the West, Middle vast and Cen
trail states from this route.
Manila hemp is not very plentiful In
the Philippines now, however, 1t is said,
on account of the ravages of war, and a
goodly supply will be required from
South and Central America. Another
year. 1t is stated. IL is Mr.. Hills inten-
ton to have agents in the islands to
purchase the product direct which plan
will be continued until the trade has
been firmly established this way.

The mayor then reminded Mcknight
that he had testified falsely at the first
hearing, stating that he had not recog-
nized the Hogan boy to his knowledge,
or known him before. That he was
never arrested in Chicago or had been
in the workhouse there, and other mat
ters. Didn't you testify to that?'
asked the mayor.
"Yes, sir, 1 did," answered the pris-
oner," but If 1 remember right 1 was
not under oath to tell the truth" he re-
piled.
From the testimony 1 must find you
guilty of the charge" said the mayor,
"and 1 sentence you to pay fine of
$50 and costs, amounting to $45, and
serve for a period of 80 days in the
workhouse, or a total of 100 days"
The trial was attended very largely
on the part of citizens and young men
who had seen Mcknight at various
places in this city during the past few
weeks. AS Mcknight passed out of
the door of the court room he began
whistling and through his general de-
meanor he showed that he was not
much disconnected by the heavy pen
atty assessed upon him.

Jacob Friedman, the man injured a

car to pass without striking him.
The matron at the hospital stated,

was no Improvement over that, of
Thursday. He suffers much pain. His

Columbus, Jan. 5.-Among the men
who are holding Office under Governor
Bushnell and who are marked for
slaughter, is Ray S. Kayler, of Alli-
ance. The impression is out here that
he has done something in Stark county
that is not just right and that he is
not strictly a Hanna man. This i'm
preston grows out of the fact that he
was turned down as a delegate to the
state convention when the county con-
vention met in Canton. What the spe-
cific charges against him are nobody
seems to know and men who have de-
clared they will assist to defeat him are
unable to tell why they feel as they
do, except that they have received
their instructions.
