BIG GAIN IN EARNINGS
MADE BY THE NJ, ST. p. & s. s. NJ
Excellent Gain Over Record
Breaking Year

The 500 railways gross earnings for
the past fiscal year will be over $6,000,-
900. The increase over the preceding
year will be more than 81, ,500000 Mime
apolis & St. Louis earnings for the fiscal
year will be about $685. 900, an increase
of $240, 900 over last year. S@. +.e e.
The Minneapolis & st. Louis makes this
increase over a year in which every month
was a record breaker. The fact that most
Of the coarse grain tonnage went from
southern Minnesota =, to =, southwestern
points instead of coming to Minneapolis
has affected the earnings for this year
to some extent. The road has made an
unusually hard hustle for general freight
to make up the loss in coarse grain busi-
ness and has been very successful. The
passenger department has made an ex-
sceptionally good showing.
The big percentage of increase in the
Soo's gross earnings Is the result Of a
comparison with poor year in the pre-
ceding twelve months, in which poor crops
caused loss Of traffic amounting to $780,
900. The earnings for the present year,
however, are $1,000,000 greater than. the
best year the 500 has had.
Including the proprietary companies
Great Northern earnings for the year will
be in the neighborhood Of $3S, 900, an
Increase Of $S,000,0 900 over last year. The
Great Northern's percentage of increase
promises to be larger than the Northern

TURNED ON HOT WATER
JAIL PRISONERS SHOCKING DEATH
Found Dead in Jail Bathroom With
Head and Face FriEhtful1y
@ ScaIded. .,

= William Mileau, "a prisoner at the
county Jail awaiting the action of the
grand jury, was found dead in the Jail
bathroom last evening under circu1p-
stances which would seem to indicate that
he had committed suicide. He was found
lying on the floor while the hot water was
running at it's full capacity over his head
and face which were badly scalded He
died a few minutes after being found by
Jailer Fox. ST
,aMilleau was in bad physical condition
when brought to the Jail a few days ago
and was still under the physician's S care.
Dr.. Kistler visited him twice yesterday
and thought that he was much better.
At $50 O'Clock Milleau was seen in his
bed but a few minutes later, was found
in the bathroom. s--s r. ,-. a. 3D.. f..
1t seems that the man went to the, bath
re ON and deliberately turned on the hot
water holding his head under the stream
until he was overcome by the steam
This theory is borne: out by the fact that
he is not burned anywhere except about
the head and neck -.- :: ....-... i. .s:-.-.-.
Milleau was arrested Friday by De-
tectives Hicks and Mealey on a charge
of grand larceny 1t is alleged that he
was connected with A. J. Bennett in the
larceny of a sealskin coat from R. E.
Ginty. Both men were held to await the
action of the grand jury. 5...... Ill.,. .-
An autopsy held by Coroner Williams
this morning reveals the fact that death
was due primarily to the shock of the
burns and secondarily to alcoholism. The
man was suffering from delirium tremens
and it is believed that he may have COM
mitted the act while delirious. No in
quest will be held. ,, .:.s-

ST. LOUIS co. TAXES
Larger Share to Be Paid by Iron
Companies:
THIS MAY LOWER STATE TAXES
An Increase of $se;OoO,ooO Prob
able in Assessed Valuation of
Range Properties.

st. Louis county is going to lead off in
tax reform this summer, if the newspapers
of that bailiwick are true prophets. The
county board Of equalization at it's COM
ing meeting is going after the iron mines
and going after them hard. - -
properties in St. Louis county, as fixed
by the state board in 1900, is $10,00O,0O0
The present total assessed valuation is
something short Of $14,000,0O0.
State Auditor Dunn says the assessment
shall go to $780, 1000, 900 this summer. This,
according to the Duluth Herald, would be
very satisfactory to the United States
Steel company. One mine alone is worth
the present assessed value of the whole
range, and according to good authorities,
the fair estimate is something like $780,
900, 900. Assessing them at SO per cent
of the cash value, as is done with other
property the mines would pay on a valua-
ton of 500, ,o00,0 ,000' osEa 49,. ..~
The total real and personal valuation
Of the state last year was $500, $780, ,614.
This increase in the range valuation
per cent to last years f gureso This
would inevitably briLgra decrease, in the
state tax. levy next year, even If last
years figures on other property were not
increased. .-.f-.-
Beyond question there, will be a big
raise IN st. Louis county, and 1t may go
SO far as to leave nothing for the state
board to do. St. Louis county wants a
new courthouse, and if the taxpayers can
make the steel trust pay for it they will
be happy. The county's assessed valua-
ticn of $47, ,503 might we'll be doubled.
Not even the officers of the trust can
protest against a great increase in their
assessment. In the light of the testi-
mony given by President schwab, before
the industrial commission at Washington,
the value Of their property is evidently
several times it's present assessed figure.
This was fixed before the organization
of the United States FSteel company, and
Ilbefore any one in minnesota outside OF
the company's experts had any idea of the
| immense value of the Mesaba and Yer
million ore danoSitS.-

High School, Louisville haven t missed a
convention in Twenty-Five years. This leads
them all.
All educators interviewed were loud in their
praise of the efficient work OF w. G. Nye,
secretary of the public affairs committee of
the Commercial club, who contributed SO
largely to the success OF the convention.
Saperintendent Of Schools Pearse Omaha,
Neb. .-Minneapolis has fulfilled her pledges
to the limit, and the convention has been a
success far beyond expectations. The local
committee on arrangements deserves espe-
cial credit for the mastery manner in which
it has cared for the convention.
Superintendent E. H. Marks of Louisville
Minneapolis gave us the best weather
and the most generous treatment which we
have ever had. The features of this conven-
ton were the unusually we'll attended bust
ness sessions. I think 1T breaks the record
in that respect. You have a wonderful city.
Sperintendent of Public Instruction II. E.
Kratz OF Calumet, Mich, Formerly of Sioux
City, Iowa-The arrangements could not have
been improved upon. The West hotel was as
fine place for headquarters as has been
afforded previous conventions, and the Expo
sition building was the best hall, in Its
acoustics and immense seating capacity, IN
which we have ever before convened. The
city has done itself proud in every respect
Superintendent of. Public Schools Cove of
Denyer-I never yet have seen such COM
prehensive, intelligent handling of a conven-
ton of this magnitude. Nothing appears to
have been left undones that could in any
way contribute to the success OF the meeting.
Superintendent Schaeffer of the Cripple
Creek Col, Schools-It was the greatest and
most satisfactory educational. convention I
have ever attended. Next to the Los Angeles
meeting, it was the best attended.
Assistant Superintendent of Schools Blew

fortunate in having AN opportunity to meet
in Minneapolis. Your educational system and

Superior Grand Jury Will Make Pre-
sentiments.
The general presentments of the
grand jury of the Superior Court will
be returned tomorrow or Wednesday
afternoon, probably the latter. On
Wednesday, by the requirements of
law, the court must adjourn for the
December term. The March term of
the court begins next Monday.
A session of the grand jury will be
held at o'clock this afternoon, when
whatever criminal cases remain for
the Jury's consideration will be taken
up. 1t is impossible, however, that the
general presentments should be re-
turned, as several of the committees
have not yet rendered their reports.
The probabilities are that the time
between now and Wednesday will be
required by the grand jury in which
to formulate it's presentments to the
court, and these will be returned at
that time
There are no important cases await
ing the action of the grand jury to-,
day, and the indictments that there is
likelihood will be returned will not at
tract wide public interest.

Improvements" should also include the
construction of great central roads or
highways, which would enable the far
mer to get his products to the railroad
station and steamboat wharf at the
least possible cost.
We think there is no class in the
United States more deserving and
which more certainly requires the aid
of the government in this direction,
than the farmer who is developing the

We see no reason why these benefits
