SPOILED HIS GAME
BOX CAR MERCHANT COULD NOT
ELJDE VIGILANCE OF FOOD
COMMISSIONER
ATTEMPT RESULTS IN FINE
Agent of Chicago Firm Did Rushing
BUSINESS at HalIoclS. Mimi, Sell
ing Adulterated Foods
and Spices

Assistant Dairy Commissioner George
L. Dingman returned Yesterday from
Hallock. Mimi. where he secured the con-
viction Of George T. Fannon, a box car
merchant who had done rushing bust
ness in that burg, but whose goods were
little too much off color TO be tolerated
by the pure food laws of the state. Mr..
Dingman's experience indicates that in
securing the conviction and fine of this
particular offender the state has not
only INDICATED the character of its pure
food crusade, but has. discouraged an in
dustry that diyerts thousands OF dollars
from the Golfers of local merchants
throughout the state and into channels
outside of Minnesota. The operator who
was convicted and fined at Hallock said
that his firm John Sexton & Co.. had
shipped over seventy cars from its head
quarters in Chicago into various states,
and this one, the first to be shipped into
Minnesota, was also the first one to be
held up by authority in any of the states
into which shipment had been made This
statement not only indicates how large

and ehterprising thiS box ear industry Is,
but it is a testimonial to the efficiency
of the Minnesota department of dairy and
food commission aOtfler states have not
been so fortunate. The manner in which
these box car merchants operate is this:
An agent shows up at a farmers house
with a wagon load of samples of various
kinds of food products, all of which
samples are of . very high grade and of
a very tempting appearance. The agent
rattles off figures by the column to prove
how far below market price these goods
are, and how far above the market quail
ity. The farmer is convinced before he
knows it that he wants the goods and
gives his order. The agent says in a
careless sort of way, Now, in order
that / may have a record of this to pre-
vent your order from being overlooked,
just write your name here After that it
is all off. A few weeks later box car
of goods comes sailing into town, and the
farmers of the vicinity who have con
tracted for the goods are called on to re-
move their goods and pay for them. They
go down. TO the car and look the stuff
over, and see that there is decided diff
ference between the samples from which
they ordered and the goods offered them.
If they kick the agent says "All r:giit,
You need not take them; / have your
contract and VIII turn the Dill into your
local bank" This gets the average farm
Ell, and he reluctantly pays his money
and takes the goods he does not want
Mr.. Dingman says that it is safe to say
that s5,oe0 worth of goods was sold to
people in the little town of Hallock. Mr..
Dingman found many of. the articles sold
to be fragrant violations of the law; and
every article that WAS covered by the
Minnesota law was examined, and if it
was below standard, it was shipped back
to Chicago to the headquarters of the
company The agent was fined $50 for
violating the food laws. There is very
large profit in the business prices being
charged far in excess of even the market
value for pure goods. Every box car
merchant who has tried to do business
in this state has been caught at it and
generally convicted. Minnesota is get
ting such reputation for the severity OF
its pure food laws that the manufacturers
who adulterate their goods are making
big howl that they cannot do business In
the state. Commissioner Mcconnell
agrees with them, and says they shall
not do business in the state until tfIey
are ready to do business on the square,
The goods against which greatest Oh
lection has been found are baking powder,
pepper and extracts. The baking powder

If the West side is to be provided with

While most of the ground held under
longtime leases is covered with factories
that are weekly paying out thousands of
dollars in the way of wages, there are
many that have .lapsed to the city, be-
cause of the fact that the lessees have
never complied with the terms of their
contract. These will be made the basis

the supreme court for writ of prohi-

county circuit court from proceeding
with tie contempt case against him,
which is on the calendar for today.
This case grew out OF an interview
granted a Detroit paper by Pingree
severely criticised the court and the
prosecuting attorney of Ingham
county.
Attorney Stevenson contends for
Pingree in his brief that at the time OF
the utterance of the alleged con-
temptious language the petitioner was
governor of the state, and could not, as
the head of one of the coordinate de-
partments of the government of the
state, be in contempt of another CO.

which such proceedings were based do
not relate IN any way to any proceed

made to the circuit court to quash, the
contempt proceedings it could take no
action in the matter, the rule being
that application must first be made in

PRAISE FOR THE PRAIRIE STATE.
AIschuler Says Good Word for the State
He Lives In.


He Lives In.
Samuel Alchuler, of Aurora, Demo
cratic candidate for governor in the
last campaign, spoke on The State
We Live In as follows:
'"Those of us who are so fortunate
as TO be born here are indeed fools
for luck Those who came of their
own choice gave evidence of wise fore
sight and good judgment. There is yet
much more here for many more to be
born and for many more to come, and
they will continue to be born and to
come here until soon in the constella-
ton of states ours will be the first in
population as it now is at the head in
many other Important respects.
'sMuch of Illinois greatness is no
doubt due to the close proximity of
Wisconsin on the north and Kentucky
on the south. Has not Kentucky free
" contributed to US of her brave men
and fair women to make up the sum
total of our inhabitants? And do we
not find solace, comfort and some
times brief mental oblivion through
the medium of our southern neighbours
mountain dew? And the great staple
that made Milwaukee famous makes
Illinois happy.
IF it is more blessed to give than to
receive Kentucky is indeed blessed,
She gave us Lincoln, Palmer, Yates,
Og1esby, Harrison. Stevenson, Tuley
and q host of others whose names are
part of the states history.
"But Illinois has also been free and
cheerful giver. She has given of her
sons and daughters to every state and
to every cline. They are everywhere
in the arts, the sciences, the literature,
the trade. the commerce. In agri-
culture, in manufactures, in the pro-
LESSONS, in politics, in all the walks
loyal to the state of their birth and
always proud to own that they were
born suckers.
She has given to the nation most
freely in IT'S every crisis. The bones
of her soldier boys lie bleaching on
hundred battle fields, whether at Cha
pultepec or Pa1o Alto or planting the
stars and stripes ON the Mexican
rampaIts; whether maintaining the
Integrity of the American Union at
Donelson, Shiloh, Vicksburg, Chicka-
manga or Gettysburg; whether resist
ing and crushing Spanish oppression,

Schley at Santiago bay, in Cuba, or in
Porto Rico, or whether in the Philip
pines obeying the orders of their SUI
periors,
:. There were none more brave than

ing and the dying, giving verify 70 the
