LOOK AFTER VISITORS
Minneapolis Merchants Will Put a
i Man on the Hotel
: Run.

The merchants association is not on the
trail Of the country customer and if tina t
individual fails to do a respectable bit of
business with one OF more firms when he
comes to town hereafter, it will be
through no fault Of the men who solicit
his trade. In addition to securing re-
duced rates for country buyers whenever
opportunity offers-a plan which was
agreed upon last evening-the association
is now arranging to circulate literature
telling where to purchase everything I'M
der the SUN in the big city stores.
A committee on publicity" recently
appointed has decided that the best way
to get at visiting merchants is to get in
close touch with them at their hotels as
soon as they strike town. The plan con-
templates the employment of an agent
whose exclusive business it will be to
make a daily round of the hotels and as
certain the business pursuit of every out
dry goods merchant he will, upon opening
his mail, find an advertising pamphlet
giving the names of different dealers and
calling attention to this or that feature
which may appeal to him. The same
Will apply to hardware, groceries, drugs,
clothing and general supplies of every
description.
= A. similar system of cultivating: closer
relations with the outside trade has been
tried with great success in Chicago, as
many Minneapolis merchants who have
registered at the big hotels in that city
can testify. 1t is believed that it will
j prove equally successful here.

FORCED HER TO DIE
Terrible Story Regarding the Sui
eide of Mrs. Heminqrav.

San Francisco, Dec. 1.-THE suicide of

posed wife of Robert Hemingway, the we'll
known horsenian Of Covington, KY, may
be shown at the inquest Wednesday to
have been forced by Hemingway and his
brother. ,@"~ - -'..
Proprietor Locke of the Knickerbocker
apartment house, where the Hemingrays
lived, gave information to the coroner
which induced this official to call an in
quest. This information was that Mrs. c.
A. Hemingway told I4ocke's wife that the
two brothers had bounded the girl to
death and had purposely left a revolver,
exposed to induce her to end her life.
The sensational features of the case to-
day are Robert IIemingray's confession to
the coroner that he was never married to
the dead girl and the report from Gin
cinnati that Conway Hemingway. his
brother, eloped with Mrs. Rose Surprise,
wife of a prominent Cincinnati merchant,
and that she is nov living with him as
his mistress. The iesknan declares. that
the two brotaers~d severything to make
life miserable for yeAng, Carl5tta and that
they suggested suicide in ingenious ways,
dwelling on the painlessness Of death from
a pistol shot.

TAX ON FRANCHISES
Argument on Appeal From Decision
Declaring It Constitutional.

Albany, n. Y, Dec. 2.-Argumcnt in the
appeal from the decision declaring con-
stitutional the franchise tax law was be-
gun in the appellate division, of the su-
preme court here to-day, and will con-
tinue for three days. Forty-sever COR
porations, among the largest in New York
city, are parties to the controversy. The
decision in question sets forth that the
special tax law violated neither the state
nor the federal constitutions, that the
state board of tax commissioners is mot
required in determining the value Of a
special franchise to separate the value Of
the tangible from the value of the intan-
gible property constituting the franchise,
and that the rate Of taxation on special
franchises should correspond with the rate
in determining the value Of other species
of real estate in the same tax district.
The amount involved saggrega tes $12.-
100000 which has been assessed against
the corpora tions Of the state and paid
by them under protest. The decision in
the case was rendered by Judge Robert
Earl ,(who died at Herkimer to-day as
referee and was confirmed by Supreme
Court, Justice D. .Cady Herrick. .s.:..,-~..

KEEP THE RIVER WARM
sawmills Operating in Winter Keep
a steam-Heated Log Pond
- >~~ Open.

Steam heated water is one of the fea-
lures of the winter operation of Mime
apolis saw mills. The companies which
bring logs all rail to this city in the win
ter cannot get along entirely without the
use of the river. 1t Is necessary to keep
a small stretch Of river open in order to
keep the logs moving up the runway
to the saws. It would be a tedious pro-
cess to rely upon steam hoist or some
other apparatus to lift the logs onto the
runway from the ice, and even then it
would be necessary to break the ice
around the runway so as not to interfere
with the chain which keeps the logs on
the move the moment they hit the ascent.
The river is accordingly kept open from
the landing place to the runway by the
use Of steam pipes from the boiler on all
sides of the pond. These keep the sur
face Of the water at such temperature
that it never has an opportunity to freeze,
No winter saving has commenced at any
Of the local mills yet. What little ice
was formed around the log ponds is not
thick enough to stand the weight which
1t must support in order to facilitate the
| handling of logs. s
The last mill, operated for the open
season only, closed down last Friday.

Where Women Draw the PIow.

An Iowa traveller just back from the
new northwestern frontier tells Of
some of these hardships
II saw a colony of Galacians in Sas-
katchewan," he said, 'and they gave
me the most extraordinary exhibition
of human patience and fortitude ever
beheld. / saw from dozen to fifteen
women hitched two and two to an
elghteen-inch breaking plow, and they
marched right ahead through the tough
ground with that plow, tearing up five
acres a day on an average. There was
a man holding the plOw. The work
these people did was as effective as
could have been done by horses or
oxen. The women seem to take their
hard labor as a matter of course.
They are very cheerful over it, laugh
ing and joking as they snake that
great steel blade through the turf. I
am told that scores of these girls who
draw plows all day have vitality
enough left to dance through the
greater part of the night They are
broad of shoulder, heavy hlpped and
muscled like wrestlers. They may not
be beautiful to look at, but they are
healthy looking, and moreover they are
full of the determination that makes
a new country open out"
These will disappear in a few years,
and another generation will know of
these hardships only by hearsay or as
of tradition They are only an Incl
dent of pioneering. 1t is difficult to
realize that such hardships and priva-
tions are necessary in this day Of the
world and on this continent; but it
will not be denied that this sort of
pluck and endurance is q good indi-
cation that upon this new and final
frontier line there will be built up a
rugged society that will prove an inn
portant addition TO the social elements
