CREAMERY MAN EISs 1T.
Evolution of Butter Market Turns

"After July it will be Impossible

local produce man this morning.
"This oleomargarine bill is good

it is hard on the city people who buy
the butter makers product. 1t is

we call cooking buster' fora trife

From the consumers standpoint, an
other very discouraging sign is that
the dairy grades have been practically
removed from the market. This is not
due to the, "oleo'~ bill, bRt to the
prevalent use of the, hand separation.
Farmers who formerly made dairy
butter, have supplied themselves with
Machines and either send their cream
to some city storage company or turn
out a pretty fair grade of butter them
selves, much of which comes inTas
creamery, or else as dairy extras. Fol

SIGNAL VICTORY.
Rate Decision Will Have Sweeping
Effect on Railways

Members of the railway commission,
after carefully examining the scope OF
the United States supreme court
decision In the New Ulm coal rate
case, has expressed the opinion that II
is one of the most important ever
made on a Minnesota railway law.
They are inclined to believe it will
deeisively settle the twelve years dis
pute between the commission ana
Northwestern railways as to the COM
missions authority over rates.
The decision is clear in sustaining
the states contention that the COM
mission has absolute power to make
joint rates for disputing roads. This
is considered an exceedingly important
point. since the highest court must
hereafter concede that the state has
jurisdiction over rates in other cases.
For many years the railways have
consistently pleaded, in rates cases.
that the commission had no Jurisdic-
tion.
The 1895, law, on which the de-
cision is made, is comprehensive, lay
ing down restrictions upon traffic over
two or more roads and comforting
board powers. Control of joint rates
is it's basis. 1t is upon this point that
the state is sustained and it is now
thought that the other powers the law
gives, being so closely related, mast
stand the siege in the courts.
"The United States supreme court
decision will discourage litigation
over jurisdiction in rate cases"
} member of the commission said. "Af
i ter Justice Browns 8, opinion the roads
will be compelled to admit the juris
| dicsion we claim. The effect of uh'
decision will be TO strengthen th'
commission. A case in point in

Out in Nebraska there is talk of
nominating VIM. J. Bryan for the
governorship by the fusionists. The
only question seems to be as two
whether he would accept. He has
been such a prominent figure in
national politics that he may feel it is
lowering of his dignity to go into
state politics. Still to keep himself
prominently before the people, he
may be willing to do most anything
However, defeat at the polls for him,
which would be one of the probabilities
of his nomination, would destroy the
last vestige of hope he has in national
politics

Washington reports are that the out
look for canal legislation is not very
bright, and state that the probability
is that if any thing is done in the
senate, it will be the passage of the
Spooner substitute which directs the
president to choose the Panama route,
provided no legal complications are
likely to arise, and the Nicaragua
route if there are complications.
This, it is said, would result in a
deadlock between the two houses, and
an adjournment in the meantime.
The New York Tribune has made
poll of the senate and gives forty-one
votes to the Nicaragua route, thirty
six to Panama, with, thirteen doubt

F. jacobson, who was in Mankato
Yesterday was the last of the trio to
present his case to the Republicans OF
Mankato, and he made very favor
able impression.
Mr.. jacobson is man OF strong
convictions and of uncompromislng
honesty. His long service in the lower
house of the state legislature has
made his name household word
throughout Minnesota. He has fought
for the peoples rights in season and
out of season, and no one can say that
he ever faltered in his efforts to give
the masses the benefit of wise legisla-
tion. Mr.. jacobson has been a resi-
dent of the old second district since Its
formation, and the redistricting by
the last legislature, where his fortunes
will in future be cast with the good
people of the seventh district will IN
no wise reduce the respect for him OF
second district Republicans That he
will get large and enthusiastic sup

trict can be confidently predicted
and if he shall Ego before the conven

Growing Old

Ought not to mean growing weak and

appetite and sound digestion. 1t IS of
the utmost importance that old people
should retain the power to digest and
assinlilate food which is the sole source
of physical strength. When age brings
feebleness it is generally because of the
failure to assimilate the nutrition con-
