WINONA is ALARMED
WINONA WESTERN SHOPS
TO ST. PAUL
NEW LINE IS TO BE EXTENDED
Should Two Divisions Re Established
WinOna Would Undoubtedly Be
Allowed to Keep the
Headquarters.

The purchase of the Winona Western
railroad by the Chicago Great Western
has become the means of considerable
alarm to people of the Southern Minnie
sofa city. 1t Is feared that the major
road may deem it eXpedient to remove
the Winona Western shops and general
headquarters away from Winona, or at
least abolish them and transact all the
business from the general offices OF the
Chicago Great Western In St. Paul. This
would of course be an Improbable thing
for Winona
The Winona Western road, which is
now merely branch of the Great West
ern, is to be extended through lucrative
portions of Southern Minnesota, and this
will entail the ultimate enlargement OF
the headquarters at Winona. 1t is a
question whether the Great Western au-
thorities will decide that it is profitable
for them to expand their present facili-
ties at Winona or to transfer all their
headquarters directly to st. Paul and
operate the new line and its extensions
from this point, together with the re-
mainder of the Great Western system.
This removal is believed to be contin-
gent upon one condition only; namely,
that the Great Western establish two
divisions for their new acquisition If
this is done there is little or no doubt
of the shops being retained bysthe city
with the rhythmicaI name. But if the
second division is not created, the mat
ter is virtually settled against Winona.
There is an unconfirmed runor at1oat
at Winona that the Great Western and
the North Western roads have come to
terms upon the division of transporta-
ton through that territory and that the
matter of competition has been solved
by allowing each road to have an equal
portion of the business

new SECRETS FOUND
UNEXPLAINED Loss OF TWO TAX
CERTIFICATES IS EXPECTED
TO CAUSE SENSATION
SEARCH WILL BE COMMENCED
Echoes on the WhitehOrne Mat
ter Say He Is "GOne for
Good" and Out of
Reach

Additional crooked work is alleged to
have been discovered at the Ramsey
county court house involving parties who
have already received their share Of no
toriety. Consequently some more eX-
element may ensue during the coming
week
1t was intimated last night that some
sensational developments may be looked
for this week, relative to the disappea@-
ance of two tax certificates upon which
the money was collected and which were
issued under the administration of ex-
County Auditor Sullivan.
Recently a certain well known citizen
has had occasion to look up a title in
connection with the transfer of a piece
of property, when it was discovered that
the certificates were missing.
An investigation was at once insti-
tuted, and developments may be looked
for within few days.
THE authorities of st. Paul might just
as well give up the search for County
Commissioner George B. Whitehorne at
least in this neck of the woods" said a
we'll known official yesterday, for you
can rest assured that when he skipped
out, it was his intention to remain away
for good"
According to the same party, White
horne had been planning to leave Tor
some time prior to his departure, and
in addition to other methods resorted to
to secure money, it is said that he made
an attempt to secure loan on a life
insurance policy held by his father.
With this purpose in view. it is I'M
derstood that he was in correspondence
with the life insurance company in
which his father is insured and his
scheme was frustrated by the sudden
exposure of his wrongdoing, and his i'm
pending arrest, which caused him to
make a precipitate flight

EXPECTS BETTER RATE
CAPT. w. H. HARRIES ARRANGES
FOR G. A. r.. ENCAMPMENT TRIP.

Capt. w. H. Harries, eX-congressman
from the First district, eX-collector of
internal revenue and at present the de-
partment commander of the G. A. r. Of
the state of Minnesota, was among the
guests at the Merchants hotel last even
ing.
The object of Capt. Harries' visit at
this time is to perfect arrangements for
the transportation of the veterans of
the Thirty-fifth national encampment Of
the G. A. r., which will be held in
Cleveland, Ohio, the week of Sept. 9-15.
Thus far, he has been treated very
fairly by the railroads, and a round
trip rate is already assured from st.
Paul to Cleveland and return of S16.85.
The distance there and back is 1,482
miles, and on this basis the rate will be
a trifie more than l cent a mile.
In referring to the subject, Capt. Har-
ries said that there is a prospect Of
still further reduction, and a fiat rate
of l cent mile is possible.
The 500 road has already made
1-cent-a-mile rate from the Twin Cities,
but as this line goes in a roundabout
way it requires nearly two days longer
to make the journey
1t is now proposed to have the Mime
sofa veterans leave st. Paul on the Sun
day morning preceding the opening Of
the encampment, and if this programme
is carried out, the party will reach
Cleveland the next morning in time for
breakfast.

NO TICKETS FOR 81
BROKER DENIES REPORT OF CHI
CAGO REDUCTION.

The report that tickets are being
sold to Chicago for 81 is erroneous"
said G. E. Cofbett, the welI-known ticket
broker. last night, THE fact being that
under a peculiar state of affairs a rate
of Sc is made, or about one-half the
regular fare.
Last spring, the Santa Fe road made
a rate of 80 per cent of a one way rate to
Colorado points, the cut being made in
order to induce excursion parties to go
that way.
In order that the travel might not be
diverted from the Northwest the roads
centering here made a rate of $1O33
round trip, from Chicago to the Twin
Cities and return. but this is only for
stated periods. The return tickets are
good until Oct 81, but they are sold, for
instance, this month from the LIST to the
10th instarts, the result being that there
are more or less return tickets on the
market, but they are not sold at any
such rate as stated.
Some of the people who take advan-
tege of the rate to come North do not
intend to return, at least not right away.
so they dispose of the one way ticket
but there have been no sales, to my
knowledge, as low as quoted"

Mr.. Clark, who is the senior member of

arrived in st. Paul yesterday ON his way
to Duluth. IN an interview at the Mer-
chants hotel he expressed himself in the
most sanguine manner concerning the
possibilities Of Cummins election. lie
was an ardent supporter Of Cummlus
throughout his fight for the nomination
and does not hesitate to say that he be-
ieves his success IN the final battle is
assured.
why do l look with such compla-
cency upon the election Of Mr.. Cum
mins?' said Mr.. Clark in response To- "a
question.
well I'll tell you. 1t is simple
enough. You see in our state for many
years We have had TO contend with a
vicious ring Of political tricksters. and
the nomination of Mr. Cummins is "a
signal defeat for that faction Now. my
theory Is that since this ring is Repub-
llcdn, our Democratic friends are posi-
bly, even more anxious TO disrupt and
completely annihilate IL than we are.
and, therefore, VIII not even place
man in the field against Cummins but
VIII support our nominee. If this theory
proves correct Cummins' election is
fOregone conclusion and the overthrow
of the ring is assured"
Inasmuch as Mr.. Clark is one of tine
prominent politicians Of Iowa his words
