POLICE COME TO THE RESCUE

Martin e. Remmen, a young attorney
of Valley City, N. D., was arrested in
this city last evening on a charge Of
drunkenness, and in the circumstances
which led to his arrest there is a story OF
pathetic interest
Complaint was made against Remmen
to the police by the proprietor of the
Newport hotel, 228 East Seventh street.
He stated to Sergeant PerrO early in the
evening that the young man who had
his little five-year-old son at the hotel
with him had remained in his room all
day drinking and had not only failed
to provide the child with food, but re-
fused to permit others in the hotel to
do so. The hotel man stated that he had
heard the child crying for something to
eat and had gone to the room to take
him a meal. but the father refused to
let him bring it in.
When Sergeant Perro went to the
rooom he found both father and child
in bed and in response to all questions
addressed to Remmen he received only
incoherent replies. Both were taken to
the central station as soon as they were
dressed, and upon his arrival there Rem
men could not even tell or write his
name intelligibly.
He was placed IN a cell and the child
was given into the care of Matron Cum
mings, who at once furnished him a
substantial meal, which he ate with
much relish The hoy, who is an I'M
commonly bright and attractive little
fellow, stated that he was five years Of
age, that his name was Edmund Rem
men and his fathers name Martin e.
Remmen. He said that his father and
mother, with himself and a younger
sister, had been visiting in Minneapolis
for several days and ne and his father
mad come to st. Paul yesterday.
Later in the evening the friend with
whom Remmen and his family have
been visiting came from Minneapolis to
arrange for the prisoners release on
bail. From this it was learned that
Remnlen. accompanied by the boy mad
left his home yesterday morning, and as
nothing had been heard from them since.
Remmens wife was greatly agitated and
feared some great harm had befallen
them. Rcmmen was released on bail
and he and Edmund accompanied their
friend to Minneapolis on one of the late
cars.

M'KENzlE IN SEATTLE
NORTH DAKOTA POLITICIAN WIND
ING UP WESTERN AFFAIRS.
Old Friend who Visits ST Paul
Talks Very Highly of Mr.. Nc
Kenxie, ExOnerat5nG Him
From PLANE.

Among the arrivals in ST. Paul yester-
day from the coast was a well known
politician of North Dakota who recently
met Alexander Mckenzie, who, since his
unpleasant experience with the courts OF
California, is stopping at Seattle.
81 saw Mr. Mckenzie" said the gen.
tleman in question. who is also an OFF,
CiaL lin Seattle last week and he is
waiting there to hear from his business
associates at Cape Nome, the chances
being that he will start for the East
this week"
In connection with the Mckenzie Incl
dent there is an absurd rumor to the
effect that he has lost his political pres
tige in North Dakota, which is far from
the truth. AS a matter of fact, the peo-
PIE of North Dakota have been alive to
his predicament, and it is safe to say
that when he returns he can have any,
thing he wants The man who has done
so much to advance the interests of his
state is fully appreciated, and he Will
return stronger man than ever, both
politically ana otherwise"
AS an Illustration of how the people Of
North Dakota feel towards Mr. McKen-
zie it may be SAID that during the time
of his recent trouble a prominent banker
placed $50 Geo at his disposal and wired
him to draw at leisure. Numerous other
incidents Of the same kind are recorded

FIND CLOTHES AND FIRE
ARM
ELBENs AND MORAN HAD HELP
Discovery Leads to the Conviction
That Civilian Clothes Await
ed Prisoner and His
Guard.

Col Ray, commandant of Fort SMELL
ing. is convinced that many miles now
lie between the two men who made their
departure from the fort Saturday and
their former quarters. These men, Will
lam Elbens, the prisoner who escaped,
and John j. Moran, the guard who desert
ed, had no doubt planned their flight thor
oughIy before undertake ng it, AS was
stated in the G / O b e yesterday, Moran
had been stationed to guard Elbens and
it was evidently through a connivance of
the two men that the break was made
While there may have been others in
VOWED in the plans for the escape and
desertion, the theory of their own col
fusion is regarded as absolutely correct.
1t would have been next thing to an
mpossibility for the prisoner to have
gotten away without the assistance OF
his guard.
No clues of the fleeing pair have been
obtained. They seem to have covered up
their trail and executed their skiIlfully
laid plans with perfection. The only
suggestion of a. clue that has thus far
been discovered is the finding of the mill
tary uniforms and the gun used by Mo-
ran, the guard. These were picked up
IN the woods near the fort The Of
hcers. in their search for careless tracks,
discovered these things yesterday and
took possession of them. 1t dawned
upon them with convincing force that
the men meant to use every means at
their command to make their escape
sure and to place distance behind them
as rapidly as possible.
The theory that civilians clothes
awaited the two men somewhere is thus
sustained, as is also the one that out
side help was received by Elbens and
Moran. Once they have gotten out of
this Immediate vicinity. the officers be-
lieve that it will De almost impossible
to overtake or capture the pair. There.
are no indications by which they might
be spotted as military men, and it is
quite probable that they have ex-
perienced no difficulty in getting far
away from Fort Smelling by this time.
The police force, up to late last night,
had obtained no information regarding
the men.

STORY is EXAGGERATED
RESIDENT of CROOKSTON SAYS
CHRISTOPHER DAMAGE Is SMALL

The grasshopper scare, as to Crooks
ton and that vicinity, has zen greatly
exaggerated. At least L. s. Snyde, who
lives at Crookston and whose business
causes him to travel extensively in Polk
county, says so. Mr. Snyder says that
there are grasshoppers near Crookston
and in other parts of the county, but
not in such numbers as to cause great
alarm.
II The hoppers, he says, laid eggs all
through that part of the county last
fall, but owing to the fact that there
was but little grass land the conditions
for incubation were not favorable and
as the farmers had been warned of their
danger they went promptly to work this
spring to exterminate the young insects
and met with good results. He de-
clares confidently, that there has not
been a ten-acre loss in any one sec
ton of Polk county and that no individ-
ual has suffered a loss of that extent.
AS to the crop outlook, Mr.. Snyder
says that his part of the state has had
all the rain it can stand at present, and
if there is no more heavy rain there will
be the largest crop ever harvested there.
in spite of all the damage that the
grasshoppers may do.

WILL BEAT THE RECORD
NEENNESOTA'S GREATEST FAIR
WILL BE HELD THIS
YEAR
Executive Committee OF the Board
of Managers Meets Today to
Perfect Some Arrange
monts.

Members Of the Minnesota State Agri-
cultural society who have been in the
city during the past week, say that never
before has there been such widespread
interest i'll the coming state fair and
they believe that the results will be far
in excess of those of any preceding
year The fair managers will arrange to
care for much larger crowd during the
week of Sept. 2-7 than they did last year
when the attendance record of previous
years was eclipsed.
70 this end the executive committee
will meet at 2:3O o'clock this afternoon
and make a tour Of inspection of the
grounds as a guidance to future action.
They will go over this contracts and pro-
posals for the improvements, many of
which are now in progress. The grand
stand bleaChers are being built by a
force of workmen that is employed reg
ularly on the grounds. The same force
will also construct the additional eXhl-
bition barn which Will provide accom-
modations for 100 head of cattle.
The improvements on the grounds are
being rushed in order to leave nothing
in the way of the preliminary prepara-
tions for the fair and the placing of eX-
hibits. Some of the exhibits come as
much as five days before the fair, es-
peciaily those that require artistic ar
rangement. This applies especially to
the agricultural displays, where the
county and individual exhibits will be
made. For that reason the contractors
have been bound to Complete the build
ing and have 1t ready to turn over to
the society by the middle of next month.
The rule that all exhibits shall be in
place ut s o'clock on the morning of the
opening day of the fair will be enforced
strictly this year IL,
No definite action has yet been taken
in regard to the sale Of privileges this
year and it is likely that some changes
will be made in the scale Of last year
Many inquiries have come in from all
over the country in regard to this sale,
but the date has not been set. It has
been the usual custom to conduct the
auction about a month before the open
ing of the fair.
The question OF transportation facili.
ties for state fair visitors is also one
which has been left open. Arrangements
have been made to have a committee
wait upon the street railway and rail-
road officials in the hope of securing the
best accommodations for the travelling
public. 1t will be urged that the street
car company shall make preparations
for a large increase in it's traffic during
fair week and that al OF its rolling stock
should be in the best possible running
order. The society hopes to get substan-
tial improvement in the Hamline ser
vice so that this line may be used TO
carry a portion of the overflow The
railways will also be asked to run spe-
cial trains to assist in relieving the
congestion that Is sure to occur at the
close of the AFTERNOON racing pro-
gramme.

CONDEMNS THE SCIENCE
EVANGELIST HUNTLEY QUOTES
BIBLE AGAINST SPIRITUALISM.

Spiritualism was the subject of the SER
mon preached by Evangelist Huntley at
his first meeting at the Central hall last
evening. The speaker read large num-
Der of quotations from spiritualistic
authors, proving that spiritualism eX-
lists in the world today. This was follow
ed by a large number of Scriptural quo
tations, proving that spiritualism would
exist in the last days. He then made
a point in reference to the time in which
we live, showing that we are living in
the last days.
The preacher repeated a number of
Bible passages to show that spiritualism
is by it condemned. Verses from Isiah
were quoted tending to prove that ia
miliar spirits should not be sought
and from Revelations he deducts grounds
for his argument that familiar spirits
are of the devil.
Mr. Huntley said that spiritualism was
founded on the theory that the soul Is
Immortal and people who believe this
theory are nearly converted to spirit
ualism. The meeting was closed with a
prayer and song. Meetings will be held
every Sunday evening. Next Sunday
"The Devil and His Angel will be the
subject.

JurisdictiOn


A prolonged and complicated litigation
VIII be begun, or rather resumed at
the oIlceS OF the state railroad and
warehouse commission Tuesday morning,
when the commission takes up the iron
ore rate cases against the roads at the
mead of the lakes the Duluth Il Iron
Range and the Duluth, Messabe Il
northern. The case involves the ques-
ton of jurisdiction and rates and the or
der directing the hearing, demands of
the roads that they show cause why they
should not accept the rates as fixed by
the commission under the provisions of
the state laws and abide by the COM
missions Jurisdiction
This Is the continuation Of a hearing
which began over a year ago. Under tne
commissioners whose terms OF office ex-
pred the first of last January, the hear
ing was renewed last December and as
the commissioners went out of office be-
fore 1t could be finished, the case was
left for final settlement by the present
commission.
The original cause for bringing the
case was, according to the states claim
that the rates received by the iron ore
reads Tor transporting their product
were eXorbitant. The roads maintain
that the matter of rates is a private
one between them and their shippers and
oehy the jurisdiction of the commission.
Ihe commission holds that rates cannot
De private, since to place this construc-
ton upon any one classification Of rates
would be to assume that all rates were
private or might be made so.
In resuming the hearing the commits
sion Will take up first the question Of
jurisdiction and let the matter of rea-
sonableness of rates, which their prede-
cessors considered first, to follow next
in order.
Judge Mills. Of the commission. in
speaking of the hearing, said it would
IN all probability. end at no early date,
but would be long-drawn out and te-
d1ous litigation. In former hearings the
railroads have presented their case we'll
lortlned and have disclosed able argu-
ment, showing the fairness of their
claims.
