Argued Today.
COMES FROM DODGE ON APPEAL
Mrs. Raymond Won Point Before

Seeks to Retain 1t.
aecial TO The Journal.

Special 10 The Journal.
Mantorville, Mimi. May 12.-Before the
supreme court in St. Paul to-day is being
argued the appeal from a decision of a
Dodge county court commissioner in the
widely celebrated Robinson will case.
The action started from the attempt of
the guardians of Mrs. Robinson, who is a
helpless paralytic, to remove her from
this Jurisdiction to. the home of the
adopted daughter, Mrs. Percy, at Gales
burg, ILL.,, on Dec. p. 1901. The intention
OF the guardians was kept secret and was
not known to Mrs. Raymond, a daughter
of Mrs. Robinson, untilaa few hours be-
fore the start for Illinois. Mrs. Raymond
promptly advised her attorney and by
sheer good luck in finding the necessary
officials she managed to serve a writ of
ha beas CORPUS on the carty at the sta
ton a Kasson and prevent the removal
of her mother.
At the iirst hearin~ before the court
comm issioner i was decided that Mrs.
Robinson should be discharged from the
custody Of her guardians and that Mrs.
Raymond should be Permitted to see her
and exercise a daughters right in caring
for ls.r This was appealed for, and
in behalf of Mrs. Percy and an additional
hearing was had before H. E. Leach, as
referee at Mantorville for the purpose
Of taking and preserving evidence to sub
nit at tine hearing before the supreme
court.

Canadian Wheat Taxed.

England has found it necessary in order
to raise more money for carrying on the
war with the Beers to lay an import tax
on wheat and flour that comes from her
colonies. This hurts Canadian shippers
for the time being, but it is predicted
that when the tax is withdrawn from Ca
madam wheat it will be left on that com
ing from the United States, thus giving
Canada a decided advantage. OF course
the united States will still have the ad-
vantage derived from a regular use OF
Golden Grain Belt beer, which, though 1t
may not raise the price of wheat, induces
perfect health. AS health is better than
wealth we will still have the advantage
over the Canadians.

THE TARIFF ON CATTLE
A LIVE STOCK MANS IDEAS
He Thinks 1t Would Defeat the
Party That Tries to Re- -
move 1t.
Ne.o Yorh Sum Special servioe


Chicago. May 13.-'*The attempt to in
fuence congress to remove the tariff on
cattle is merely trick on the part of
the democratic congressman who are
working for the defeat of the republican
party" said G. B. Van Norman, promi-
nent livestock commission merchant,
yesterday. .;Any party responsible for
such legislation would be sure of defeat
in the next election, and would be likely
to lose the support of the western states
permanently. The democratic congress
men know this, and started the agita ton
in the hope that some 'pin-headed' repub-
licans would take it W and repeal the
tariff. Then the democrats would lay
the blame on the republican congress =
'"The receal Of the tariff could not fail
to cause drop in the price of cattle in
the United States. because it would bring
the South American cattle in competition
with our own. South American cattle
can be raised much cheaper than our own
cattle and could probably be sold much
cheaper in the Unified States.
"The men who would be injured would
be the rancher1 and farmer who fattens
the range cattle. They would be deprived
of their legitimate profit by. the competi-
tion frCm abroad.
consequently the repeal Of the tariff
would be met with a mighty protest from
the ranchmen Of the west and the farm
ers of the entire country. That pro-
test would be carried to the ballot box,
and the party responsible for the legisla-
ticn would meet with certain defeat. The
cattle raising states would go solidly
against arv party which made such an
attack on the cat tile industry.
IT don't think that congress will be
so foolish as to receal the tariff, how
ever' -
