Reduced Rates.

General Traffic Manager Clark, of
the Omaha, acting as chairman for
the committee on the southwestern
Minnesota grain rates, submitted the
schedule agreed upon by the roads.
These are the same rates submitted to
the roads by the state railroad COM
mission, and are based on rates for
similar distance on the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific roads in the
northern part of the state, put in eff
feet nearly two years ago as result
of the Stevenson rate case. The new
schedule includes wheat, flax and
coarse gain.
Taking wheat as a basis, there is a
cut of from half cent to cents per
pushed from existing rates, the latter
being the extreme, however. The aver
age reduction is about one cent. On
the Milwaukee there is no cut at
Wells, half cent at Paramount and a
cent at Fulda. On the M. & ST. l..
there is cut of cent and half at
St. James and one cent at Sherburne,
and so on.

Nickel With a History.

At st. Cloud, while workmen were
engaged in making repairs at the Lad
ner building, having removed the
floor, they made somewhat odd find.
1t was only an ordinary green card,
but the writing it bore showed that it
had history. 1t read as follows:
''St. Cloud, Mimi, March 21, 1871.
This five cent Lincoln nickel was
dropped in here through crack in
the floor while playing "crack low
for the beer. Whoever finds il will
please return it to X. Lesser or J. f.
Bradford, or their heirs. 1871" A
search resulted in the finding of the
nickel, which bore the date Of > 1868
1t was in good state of preservation,
being still bright and showing little
signs of wear. The place in the store
building where the nickel WAS found
was once occupied as Tin shop by
G. Lesser. The card and nickel were
shown to Mr.. Bradford, who has been
sick for some time, and is still un-
able to leave his bed. He readily
recognized the writing on the card as
his own, Notwithstanding it's over 20
years rest under the floor of the
building.

She Got Her Wardrobe.

Miss Ada Henry was, until few
days ago, leading lady in the Hot Old
Time Company. At Hibbing she had
falling out with her manager and
left the troupe, but she says the man
ager refused to give her either her
hotel or her theater trunk. She Sc
cured both of them at ST. Paul by
stratagem.
Miss Henry went down to the bag
gage room and picked her trunks out
from the company's baggage, smiled
sweetly on the employees and asked
them to call cab and have her trunks
sent to the hotel, as she had to get
one of her dresses in order to have it
mended in time for the opening per-
Torrance. The men, she says, did as
she asked, and when she reached the
room she took her clothes from the
trunks, filled them with brick and re-
turned them to the depot.

MAN FOR THE PLACE.
NJ. Picard, Commissioner General
of the Paris Exposition.
Evolved the Magnificent Plans of the
Grand Fair In Less Than Four
Hours and Thereby Killed
a Pet German Project.

In Alfred Picard, commissioner gen.
eral of the exposition, whose nominal
ton to grand cross of the Legion of
Honor was announced by President
Loubet few days ago, is practically
the organizer of the Paris exposition.
BY his outward appearance one might
take him for Don QuiXote. A figure
with lanky limbs, a cast of counte-
nance overloaded with an air of
gloom, a nose of characteristic promi-
nence, piercing eyes and Il mustache of
heroical dimensions, these make him
seem living knight of La Mancha, ever
fitting at windmills. Never was a
greater contrast between natural as
pect and reality. NJ. Picard is, in fact,
the King of Method" a practical man
above all things-the very personifica-
tion of the French genius of lucidity,
order, harmony.
From his youth up N. Picard has
given free play to his taste for serious
matters. Mathematician. engineer,
economist, administrator, lawyer, he
has been all these by turns and stimuli
taneously. He has built bridges, ex-
cavated mines, arranged statistics,
managed railways and led the discus
sions of a council of state in its con-
situations over the plans for worlds
fair.
NJ. Picard was born in Lorraine.
When II he made his way to Paris, en-
tered the Ecole Polytechnique. and just
before the outbreak of the Franco
German war passed out of its classes,
with distinction won by the qualities
which have through life brought him
his success-hard work, patience and
regularity.
Returning to Metz, he was shut up
with the garrison in the citadel and
suffered the privations of the siege:

Labor Conditions Good.

At the monthly meeting of the di-
rectors of the Associated Charities the
secretary reported 11s cases dealt
with during the month, and 149 visits
made. The cases were relieved through
twenty cooperating agencies. Work
in the employment bureau shows a
very marked decrease in comparison
with that of the corresponding month
last year, there being Ill odd jobs
given to men, against 27S the previous
year, and $50 to women, against 4S9.
1t was decided to start the penny saw
ings system in connection with the

SCORES OF BEGGARS.
They Make the Life of Miss Helen
Gould a Burden.
In One Week She Was Addressed by
1,3O3 Applicants for Charity
Whose Demand dis Reached the
Three Million Mark.

Those members of the community
who write letters to Miss Helen Gould,
of New York, asking for money and
are astonished that they do not re-
ceive checks by return mail, may bet
ter understand the reason when they
learn some facts as to the enarmous
number of demands made upon Miss
Gould.
In one week Miss Gould received
1903 letters asking for charity. The
sum expected of her was about 49,
DOC, 900.
All the correspondents did not name
the cost of satisfying them and the
sum named is an estimate made by
the New York Journal.
Those who asked for cash needed
in all just $1,54s,5o2.
One writer wished certified check
for $1,OOO,OOO with which to start a
colony in Cuba.
Others wanted cows, rams, trous-
seaux, lace, autographs, church or
gans, pianos, and so on.

The Fish Hatchery.

Half dozen ideal sites in the beau
tiful Glenwood Park district, in Hen
nepin county, near Glenwood Springs,
will be offered to the state game and
fish commission for the fish hatchery
now located at Willow Brook, ST. Paul.
The states lease of the present hatch
cry will expire in few months, and
Minneapolis is most anxious to secure
this valuable acquisition for her park
attractions. For two acres of land in
the Willow Brook hatchery the COM
mission is now paying a yearly rental
almost equal to the value of the prop
erty, and the commissioners have
been considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
selecting another site for long time.

He was graduated from Harvard uni
versity in 1861. Ee has good war rec
ord, having entered the navy in 1862 as
an acting assistant paymaster and serv-
ing creditably during the war of the
rebellion until 1864, when he resigned
to engage in the study and practice of
law at Boston. Most of his naval serv-
ice was on the North Atlantic station,
where most of the sea fighting was
done. He was with Lieut.. Commander
Flusser when the latter was killed on
the United States steamship Miami in
the engagement with the ram Able
marie at Plymouth, N. c.
When Caleb Cushing was senior coun-
sci to the Geneva tribunal in 1872 Mr..
Hackett served as his private secre-
tary until ill health compelled him to
relinquish that Office and return to the
United States. Although he has al
ways maintained his legal residence
at Newcastle, N. H., where he has a
house, he has spent the greater part of
the past quarter century in Washing
ton, engaged in the practice of his pro-
fession before the courts and the de-
partments. In 1877 he represented
Portsmouth in the New Hampshire
legislature. He is a man of high lit
crary and legal ability, and is the
author of several works. Although his
experience in the navy has been some
what limited, he has always shown a
great interest in that arm of the serv-
ice, and is probably as well informed
in regard to it's condition and needs as
any other civilian in the country.
Mr.. Hackett has accepted the ap-
pointment with the understanding that
his term will expire on the 4th of March
next. He has declared that he could
not afford to give any more time to
public business, as he has considerable
private work to look after which would
have to be sacrificed by longer con-
tinuance in the governments service.
The appointment came as a complete
surprise to him.

tanned his captaincy in March, 1885.
That he should have been appointed to
the command of British division in
the field at an age when most officers
are junior majors is probably unprece-
dented, at any rate in the last 40
years.
But in several respects Sir Leslie
Rumble may claim to have done I'M
precedented service. He has eight cam
paigns to his credit-the Zulu and
Transvaal campaigns in the South At
rican war of 1S79-s1, the Egyptian ex-
petition of 1882, the Nile expedition of
1sS4-S5, the operations of the frontier
field force in the Soudan in 1SS5-S6-S7-
1921, the Dongola expedition of 1896,
the Nile expedition of 1897 and the adj
vance on Khartoum in 1898. Gen. Run
die was employed with the Egyptian
army from 1884 until last year, when
he was given the command of the
southeastern district, which he has
since left to act temporarily as deputy
adjutant general to the forces. Dur
ing this period of employment with the
Egyptian army he acted repeatedly as
Lord Kitchener's chief of staff-it was
in this capacity that he was present at
the battle of Omdurman-and he was
successfully governor of the Red sea
littoral, of the frontier and of the DON
COLA province. 1t is interesting to re-
call the. fact that in the last Transvaal
campaign Gen., then Lieut., Rumble
was wounded in the defense of Potsch-
efstroom.

Travelling in the Klondike has now

converted into winter bicycle path,
and you can wheel from Dawson City
to Circle City along probably the most
picturesque path in the world, says an

German surgeons, deceived by the
youths cadaverous appearance, grant

unquestioned. He at once struck for

Loire and served in it's ranks until the

After the war he pursued his profess
