1T CANNOT Be CONFIRMED
NORTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY'S
REPORTED DEAL WITH MAN.
ITOBA GOVERNMENT
THE STORY IS NOT DENIED
In Manitoba Much Difference of
Opinion Prevails as to the Elk
act Nature of the Al
legged Deal.

The reported purchase of the N. p.
lines in Manitoba by the government is
not confirmed by either the premier of
that province or by officials of the road.
That a deal is in contemplation is not
denied, and the consideration mentioned
10000 is believed to be much higher
than the actual figures submitted to the
Canadian government.
The c. P. R. and the great contracting
firm of Mackenzie & Mann are known
to nave kept close watch on the doings
of MessrS. Robin and Rogers, and it has
been said that they will take steps to
prevent any reduction in grain rates to
the Great Lakes.
In certain circles in Manitoba it is
thought that the government is really
acting in collision with the c. P. r. and
that the mention Of the purchase of the
N. P. lines is merely bluff, to which
there is no foundation. Ante election
pledges have, however, to be carried cut.
or an attempt to do so is demanded by
the people, and the talk about forcing
the c. P. r. to reduce rates is thought
by many to be blind to divert public
attention from other moves being made
by the government.
This opinion is not generally entertain
ed in Winnipeg, and there Messrs. Robin
and Rogers are being given credit for a
genuine attempt to free the farming COM
munity from the heavy burdens imposed
on it by the c. P. R., burdens which
they had to endure because of the mo-
nopoly of the railway company
The Canadian federal government has
made half hearted efforts to enforce the
laws bearing on the rate problem. hut
no substantial relief has ever been afford
ed.
President Mellen, of the Northern Pa
cif1c, is away, also Vice President Kend-
rick and other officials refuse to discuss

sured protection. No arrests were made
and the band will, it is said, start out
tomorrow on a tour of destruction
through Harper county, which is prolific
in saloons. Mrs. Sheriff, who led to-
days raid, is under bond to appear at
Danville in April to answer charge
of saloon wreckirg placed against her
six weeks ago. Mrs. Sheriff came to An
thony late yesterday and worked all night
procuring hatchets and other implements
of destruction and it was o'clock this
morning before So had perfected plans
for the raid. She enlisted ten women:

Kendall, J. H. Shelton and the Misses

attack shortly after day break, taking
the saloon keepers and the town officials
by surprise.
PRAYED AMID THE RUINS.
The women knelt and prayed within
sight of the wreck they had spread. One
woman, in an imprisoned appeal to the
Almighty, asked that He guide them to
other dens of iniquity and direct their
footsteps to other rum-cursed towns in
Kansas. This prayer was Interpreted to
mean that the Anthony women would
extend their crusade and word was hur-
riedly sent over the telephone wires to
adjacent towns by local saloon sympa-
thizers who wished to warn their fello7g
jointists. No arrests were made but the
mayor quickly swore in extra police, and
the crusaders were placed under st1ict
surveillance.

culation Of 1872; Ill household papers are
received and about 126 magazines.
From these facts it is to be seen that
the free daily mail has been the means
of bringing the farmer more in contact
with the outside world through the me-
dunn of the press. The postoffice de-
partment does an immense money order
business, as well as the express and
freight companies
The business men are benefited in such
a way that they use the mail carriers
for the distribution of advertising mat
Ter, and the farmer in turn sends in his
order for his goods through the carrier,
and the goods are promptly delivered the
following day. In this way the farmer
saves long drive for small necessaries.
and the village receives those orders
which might otherwise go to other towns.
In conclusion the business men and the
farmers of Pennington join in words of
praise for the great advantages derived
from the rural free delivery of mall and
look forward to the time when all Amer1-
can farmers may derive the same ben
efits.

The defense proved that McKown knew
nothing of this until the next morning.
1t also dissipated the story of buggy

1t now looks as though the defense would
be able to show that the prosecution was
1nstigated by malice, and that McKown
