MERGER is LEGAL.
Minnesota Judge Says Law Has Not
Been Broken.

st. Paul, Aug. 3.-Judge Lochren in
the United States circuit court has
handed down his decision in the state
of Minnesota against the Northern Se-
curities company, the Great Northern
railway, the Northern Pacific Railway
company and J. J. Hill, as president Of
the Northern Securities company, and
individually, in which he sustained the
contentious of the defendants and dis
missed the bill of complaint of the
state. He finds that the Northern Sc
curities company has not violated the
state laws forbidding the consolidation
Of parallel and competing lines Of rail-
road through it's ownership Of stock in
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railways. He refuses the injunc-
tions asked by the state Of Minnesota
to restrain the securities company
from voting the stock Of the two roads
or either Of them.
This decision affects the results Of
the federal governments victory in the
circuit court in no way whatever. The
federal suit involved the same defend
ants and the same general state of
facts, but was based on totally differ.
ent contention Of law.
The federal suit in which the securi-
ties company was beaten was a prose-
cution for violation of the Sherman an
thrust law, passed by the federal con-
gress.
The state suit, in which the securi-
ties company wins, was based on an
allegation that the defendants violated
acts of the Minnesota legislature, for
bidding the consolidation Of parallel
and competing lines of railway.
The hearing Of the state suit was
begun Friday, June 5, before Judge
Loch:er in the federal circuit court.
1t followed the submission Of much
testimony by both sides for many
months, in which Frederick G. Inger.
soil of this city acted as referee. The
final argument lasted five days, in
which Attorney Douglas, former Attor-
ney General George B. Wilson and At
torney NJ. d. Mum spoke for the state
and George B. Young, M. D. Grover
and C. w. Bum for the defendants.
The case was submitted Wednesday.
June 10. An appeal to the United
States supreme court is now pending
in the federal suit.

NORTH WALPOLE AMATEURS.
They Know How to Act - Presented
"Oown in Dixie" in Fine StyIe.

North Walpole can boast of having
some young people who win laurels
easily in amateur theatricals. The east
which presented Down in Dixie" in
Memorial hall Tuesday evening would
do credit to any community. The fol
lowing was the cast:
Harvey Wells, a colonel in the Federal
army, William Lane
George Washington Bangs, Herald re-
porter, Maurice O'Connor
Ma jor Bradley, of the Confederate army,
Patrick III. Hartnett
Corporal Hooligan, True Blue" vet,
John j. Hennessey
Hon. G j. Dusenberry, member of con-
gresS, John Awkward
Hezekiah Snffins, degenerate Yankee,
Patrick Carroll
Uncle Mosley, a faithful slave.
Paul Lucier
Billings, Bradley's henchman,
John Kiniry
Helen TREVOR, southern heiress,
Margaret Carroll
Molly Martin, her lively friend
Margaret M. Riley
Mrs. Dusenb berry, business woman,
Anna c. Hartne EFT
Susannah, "Jis brack nigger,''
Mary Fitzgerald
Lane and Hartnett had the heavy parts
and acquitted themselves with much
credit. Lane won the fair southern heir.
esS. This of course was hard blow to
Hartnett, but if the plot had come out
otherwise there would probably have
been lynching for the crowd was with
Lane and the Stars and Stripes. O'Con-
nor's part suited his make up to T. He
demonstrated that he is star newspaper
man and place will no doubt be made
for him on the World or journal as soon
as those papers hear of the hit he made
Hennessey and Kiniry lugged muskets
just as though they had never seen one be-
fore, and the party who wrote the play
intended that they should act just that
way. IIennessey's philosophy was al
most good enough to be original Car
roll acted the part of degenerate Yam
kee as well as an Irishman could be ex-
pected to but he did not begin to sound
the depths of degeneracy to which a
Yankee is capable of degenerating. Ayl-
ward is a clever man and can mimic a
speech in congress or an every day drunk
to perfection. He took his part excep-
tionally well. The two darby chara cters
were black enough and jolly enough and
caused lots of laughter.
The ladies were charming lot and
easily won the hearts of the audience,
particularly the male portion. Miss
Hartnett acted with grace and dignity
and was one of the strongest of the cast.
Miss Carroll, whose hand was passion
ately sought by two chivalrous but de-
termined army men, was in trouble most
of the time, but succeeded in placing
her affection on the right man and all's
well that ends well in both love and war.
Miss Riley, vivacious little being, was
charming both in manner and costume.
The hall was crowded to it's capacity
and the Criterion club Melted for it's
treasury about $3.50.
