FIX DISTANCE TARIFFS
RAILROAD AND WAREHOIoG COM
MISSIONS SCHEDULES WERE
SUBMITTED YESTERDAY
COVER ALL KINDS OF FREIGHT
Separate Tariffs Are Made for the
Northern and Southern Parts
of the State Re-
spectiveIy.

The state railroad and warehouse COM
mission has notified the railroads of Min
nesot that after Sept. 1, 1900. the new
rates to be charged by the roads on
freight in this state will be in effect. The
commission has completed the schedules
and copies of it have been sent to the diff
ferent lines. These rates apply 70 rates
under classification and not commodity.
The bulk of business in Minnesota is car
ried on the commodity tariffs.
The schedule is uniform and is made
practically on an arbitrary distance ba-
sis.
The rates submitted to the northern
roads are higher than those given to the
southern lines This is because the north
is more sparsely settled than the south,
and the business is proportianately less.
In spite of this, it is known that the
schedule, or schedules, more properly, will
hit the northern roads the hardest if the
railroad commissioners win out.
Following are the important paragraphs
OF the introduction sent along with the
schedule:
Distributing points shall be taken to
be places possessing manufacturing or
wholesale establishments doing a mer-
chandise, shipping or distributing bust
ness.
Nothing herein shall be taken as pro-
posing a cancellation or modification of
any existing commodity tariff nor shall
anything herein be taken as proposing
cancellation or modification Of any exist
ing terminal tariff, except where and in
IL L,
maximum rates lower than such existing
terminal rates."
Such places as st. Paul, Minneapolis,
Minnesota Transfer, Red Wing, Htchheld,
Austin, Hastings and other cities are des-
ignated as distributing points.
A prov-so is made that nothing shall be
taken as intending to prohibit a longer
line from carrying property between any
two points at the same rates charged by
the shorter lines; provided, this shall not
be construed so as to authorize a greater
charge for a shorter haul than for long
er one over the same line.
The schedule has the same number Of
classes as the Western classihcatoin-that
is four for merchandise in less than car
load lots, and six for carload lots. The
various d stances are arranged five, ten.
fifteen miles, ETC., up to 500. According to
this arrangement, it takes but half min
ute to find any rate wanted.
The schedules for both the northern and
southern roads show distributing tariffs
to be considerably lower than distance
tariffs
In general, the schedule submitted
means a reduction in rates, especially on
long hauls. The schedule is, however, so
complicated that, until it has been fig
ured over, no one will say just what the
percentage of reduction is
The commissioners have taken a great
many things out of their regular CLASH
fcation and placed them in lower CLASH
hcatons. These, however, are merely ex-
cepdons, and are not part of the regular
schedule.
1t is generally understood among rail-
road men that the lines will fight the new
schedule The roads are given until Sept
to file their objections

New Cigar Store Which VIII Delight
Users of the &"Weed."

When cigar smoker drops into a Gig
ar store as usual thing he tasks the
man for his faVOrite smoke lights 1t
says hot day, or something like that
and walks out. There is no place in the
usual cigar store where a man can sit
down, take off his hat and his coat, get
in the breeze of an electric fan, turn
around to mahogany table, pick OUT
the magazine or paper he wants throw
himself back in his leather upholstered
seat and puff and read and enjoy him
self.
johnson & Co.'S is not the usual kind
of a cigar store.
Their store has all the adjuncts in the
world, including Mr.. Johnson and his
partner, Mr.. Kimball, to make it popu-
lar. 1t has the mahogany finished taste
fully decorated smoklng and reading
room with the FAM which the usual
stores" are conspicuously without 1t
eral "solid comfort air.
If you were lady looking it over
you'd say it was ejust lovely" AS you're
a man you'll say it's "a peach or some
other kind of fruit.
johnson & CO." is the name of tho
firm. H. w. Johnson and H j. KimbalI
are the members of it, and in the Ian
should be seen to be appreciated" Mr.
Johnson used to live in Minneapolis, but
he has gotten brayely over it. Mr.. KIM
ball is known by most everybody. The
firm have just bought out w. S. Dennis
at 416 Robert street. They will handle
retail trade exclusively, selling every
popular brand Of cigars on the market,
as well as the best of pipe and cigarette
tobaccos and all kinds of smokers
goods.

COSSACKS AS HORSEHEN
THEY DISPLAY WONDERFUL SKILL
IN THE BUFFALO BILL SHOW.

There are several million Cossacks
under the government of Russia, and
the statesmen of that empire exhibit
their rare adaptability to circumstances
in providing the kind of work best suited
to the tastes and conditions of those
barbarians They arc called "barbar-
ians, but even that wild race possess
their soft side. A book on their folk
lore has been published and it is full
OF interest and oddly, like that of the
Germans and other nationalites. Their
language is "Ruthenian' intermediate
between Russian and the Polish, but
Independent of both.
Late dispatches from China indicate
that the first conflict of the Russian SOL.
diery with the Chinese Boxers was sus-
tanned by body of Cossacks, this Show
ing that they are now, as they have been
for several generations the eyes of the
Russian army. In Russia's slow, but sure
advance in China, the COssacks will play
the same important part Which they
have hitherto played in all of Russia's
aggressive and defensive movements, for
they are in many respects the most re-
marllable horsemen the world has ever
seen.
The American cowboy, however, must
be considered. The two schools or sys-
TENS, Of equine education are singular,
as seen at Buffalo Bits Wild West ex-
hibition, but as to which bears off the
palm is as difficult to decide as it would
be to determine which is the more pow
erful, the grizzly bear or the lion, or
which is the more beautiful in pose and
form amid danger, for both these exhi-
billions of horsemanship are replete with
wonderful illustrations of masculine
strength, emphasized by the beauty and
poetry Of action.
Although the Cossacks may be classed
as irregular cavalry, they regularly APP
pear on the tanks Of the fighting bodies
of the Russian forces of whatever arm,
and attack the enemy in their own pecul-
lar way. Their marvellous self-posses-
sion and their dizzy feats with the
sword, to be witnessed at every exhibit
ton of the wild west, give most real
istic and vivid picture of their strange
method Of fighting an enemy. See and
study the parade on day of arrival. Fiji

COMMON LAW MARRIAGE.
1t May Wrest Mrs. HOughton's Es-
tate From Her

1t May Wrest Mrs. HOughtOn's Es-
tate From Her.
When Judge Bazille of the probate court
called up the matter of the petition Of
Augusta A. Houghton yesterday morning,
asking that she be appointed administra-
trix of the estate of Cyrus A Hough-
ton, who died at the Bethesda hospital,
in st. Paul, last June, at the age of fifty
two years, sensational charges were pre-
ferred by Hartley c. Laycock, of Chi
cago.
Douglas c. Gregg, of Chicago, repre-
sented the Houghton heirs of that city,
and appeared in opposition to the petit
ton. Mrs. Houghton was represented by
A. Fl. Hall, of Minneapolis
Mr.. Gregg claimed that the petitioner
could have no possible interest in the
estate, since she was never married to
Mr.. Houghton and could never have been
legally married to him, because of the
incompetency of either party through
prior marriages, to contract a marriage
with each other.
Mr.. Hall, however, acknowledged that
there had been nothing more binding than
a mutual agreement to live together as
husband and wife, which constituted
what is known under the law as a COM
mon law marriage; that under this
agreement she was entitled to be ap-
pointed Administrative of Mr. Houghton' s
estate and TO take her share in his prop
erty, which Mr.. Gregg said amounted to
some six or seven thousand dollars.
The objector also alleged that Mrs
Houghton was in reality Mrs. Rankin
and that she had a husband living.
On the other hand, Mrs Houghton also
claimed that her name was Miss Gussie
Rankin and that she was never married
before, which she would swear before
God If necessary.
The matter was set for hearing Aug 20

MAMMOTH KANSAS CROP.
Railroads Are Poorly Prepared for
Its Transportation,

Railway officials differ in their reports
of the miscellaneous traffic from the East
to the West, as compared with last year
Some say that it is larger, others about
the same, and few that 1t is less than
year ago. Taking into consideration
the volume Of business moving now and
a year ago, it is fair to assume that it is
about equal to last years record. Most
OF the Western lines are well supplied
with cars. The Santa Fe is anticipating
a heaVy traffic In wheat and other grains,
and has borrowed 10000 cars to use this
fall and winter. Rates in all sections are
now being well maintained, especially
since July 1, the date when the new agree
ment went into effect. All are Watching
to see how long the stability will last.
hurry orders for new freight cars have
been sent to car factories in the West by
the railroads traversing Kansas, and re-
guests have been received by Eastern rail-
roads for the loan of cars with which 70
move the Unexpectedly large quantity of
wheat that is coming in from Kansas
Ilelds. Most of the Southwestern railroads
have been caught unprepared for the rap
