MULCTED THE SELLER.
He Tried to Sell COttOlene for Lard and
Came TO Grief Thereby.

st. Paul, June 21.-(By Telephone
The state dairy and food commission
brought suit sometime ago against
a grocer in Minneapolis for selling cot
tolene made in the semblance of lard.
The court found him guilty and i'm
posed a fine. The cottolene people ap-
pealed the case to the state supreme
court, which has just handed down its
decision affirming that of the lower
court. The result is a great victory
for pure lard. Hereafter when cotto-
lene is offered for sale in semblance of
lard it will have to be Tabled Lard
substitute.
The dairy and food commission has
also had complaints of agents selling
groceries to farmers that were not
pure. A few days ago parties were
found at Dayton, Mower county, who
were handling such goods. They were
arrested and fined. 1t is believed the
same feature exists all over the state
and the dairy and food commission
will wage war upon them wherever
found.

A RICH PRIZE.
Great Western and Northwestern Msy
Have Arranged Truce.


Have Arranged Truce.
The st. Paul Dispatch says:
The people of Redwood, Lyon and
Lincoln counties are interested over
the right -of-way war being waged be-
tween the Chicago Great Western and
the North Western companies for
supremacy of that rich territory.
Both roads have had gangs of sur
veyors in the territory, as has already
been told in the Dispatch. A few days
ago the crews representing both roads
were called in, but no one knows why.
The local officials of the Great Western
declare that there was no significance
in the calling in of the surveyors, as
their work was all completed. The
people of Redwood county, however,
appear to believe that the companies
have arranged truce, whereby one or
the other surrenders it's territory. 1t
is safe to say that it was not the Great
Western which surrendered, for that
road is not in a position to surrender
anything, as it will nave to face, in
all probability, the combined opposi-
tion of the powerful combinations just
formed.
The Great Western has run lines
straight west from Mankato through
Wabasso and other good towns, to
Marshall, and thence west to the state
line. terminating near Hendricks. The
survey takes in Sleepy Eye. Another
line, run by the same company reaches
from Mankato to New Ulm, and thence
to Marshall. The country opened up is
extremely rich, and there is less COM
petition than in any other section of
the southern part of the state.
The North Western plans to run
a line from Morgan, a station about
midway between Sleepy Eye and Red
wood Falls, west through Wabasso and
Marshall, and thence west. The
North Western survey and that of the
Great Western is so close in many
places as to be within rifleshot. Each
company was supposed to be deter
mined and the outcome is awaited
with interest The Great Western
would have to build about $50 miles to
reach the state line from Mankato,
and the North Western would build
about eighty miles.

same request.
1t appears that 1 was mistaken as re-
CARDS the date, being the 21st instead
of the 9th as 1 had supposed and now
being blind in vision and blind in

to the memory of the departed ones of
the association during the past year

James Shoemaker, Henry Goodrich,

others which do not now recall, will

In speaking of them 1 am reminded
of my last visit with Henry Goodrich
on the eve of my departure for home.
Realizing that his end was near at
hand, at his request approached his
bedside. Extending his withered hand
and with feeble voice. bidding me
good bye, as we gazed into each others
face, both realizing this would be our

That breathed around;
Bidding each fierce tumultous passion cease,
In.still small accents whispering from the ground

And so with my last meeting with
Mr.. Shoemaker, who. standing on
the postoffice steps, was in converse
uion with Gen. Baker who, am also
glad to learn, will deliver an eulogy
-, gI-Tbo onI Th ootor'' Of Mr.
Shoemaker which is guarantee that
it will be an eloquent and graphic tri-
butte to his memory. So you see my
otherwise happy visit met with some
sad scenes.
Notwithstanding the many vacancies
in your meeting, you will, OF course,
have very pleasant time relating the
scenes of past events and the joys and
SORROWS you have had. But let me re-
mind you that:
pleasures are like peoples spread.
You seize the flower, its bloom is shed;
Or like the snow falls in the river,
One moment white, then melts forever;
Or like the rain bows lovely form,
Evanescent amid the storm.
In closing this disjointed, disconnect,
ed letter to the younger portion of the
association: Sieze the pleasures now,
ere age with it's blighted forms ad,

joyments of social religious life, EN-,
brace the gospel, practice its precepts
and reap the full measure of its fruits
here with it's glorious rewards here
after.
Please excuse this hastily dictated
letter.

MEN GATHERING.
Already They Have Their Eyes on Hay
and Harvest Fields of the Northwest.

Minneapolis, June 21.-Laborers are
already beginning to swarm into Min
neapolis in anticipation of the work
that will be offered later in the haying
and harvesting fields in Minnesota and
the Dakotas. The result is that there
are many idle men about Washington
and lower Nicollet and Hennepln
avenues, who give to citizens VINO nap
pen down towards Bridge square the
idea that the much talked of prosperity
has no existence.
There is plenty of work for all
corners, employment agents say, and
they are offering low railroad rates,
steady work and good wages to any
who will work, but the laborer OF to-
day is more independent Individual
than the laborer of few years ago,
and is able, not being impecunious, to
select his "job'' with much more care.
The consequence is much greater de-
mand than supply.
1t is too early for the farmers to en-
gage hands for the fields, but the men
themselves are looking forward to the
work now almost in sight. The laborer
keeps his weather eye out on the crop
reports, and as long as they continue
as optimistic as they have for the past
month, he is able to hold off from
them any jobs which pay we'll but
which are harder" and less lucrative
than harvesting.
Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois, as
we'll as southern Minnesota, are send
ing to Minneapolis for men for railroad
work. Contractors are way behind
with their work because of their in
ability to secure hands. They are
willing to pay wages that under other
conditions would be considered abnor-
mally high. But the laborer now on
the market will consider no proposition
that will take him farther east or
south. He is looking for work in the
Dakotas, so he will be on the field
when harvesting begins, and ever
since early spring when reports favor
able to good crops were first published,
he has been working towards the state
to the west. Today, labor agents esti-
mate, there are almost enough men in
the Dakotas to harvest their crops, but
! workmen now loafng or taking
''short time" jobs which they can
| Jump when the work in the fields
is offered, do not believe it, and there
| are hundreds in and near Minneapolis
ready to run west when the field work
opens. Railroads, although they need
men in Minnesota and North and
South Dakota, appreciate that all the
men want is to ship west under con-
tract to work for the company, free
fare, and then when harvest begins,
desert and enlist under the farmers.
The result is no "free fare" is granted
any men west or north, but every
laborer who "ships' must pay low
! rate, something like cent "a mile.
The first work that will be available
for the "hands" is when haying COM
mences This will be between July
and 10, but farmers unwilling to be
caught short, will begin to engage
hands little before the end of the
month. There is little work in the
haying fields in the Dakotas, but Min
nesota will need many hands to help
gather in her crop. The first call for
harvest hands is expected for about
july g.
