Nelson Brothers Beginning to Feel the
Gnormity of Their cffense.
Criticise Officers for Being Permitted
to Run Rendezvous.
Give Advice 10 The 0 her Prisoners of
Waseca County lail.
Sheriff Regards Statements as Next
to Confession of Guilt.
From Thursdays Daily.

From InurSdayS Dally.
Those two Nelson boys convicted of
the murder of Harry H. Krier at Owa-
tonna, are beginning to realize the enor-
nifty of their crime. They are confined
in the Waseca Jail, and are becoming re-
pentant. They have become the advisors
of all the other prisoners.
They read Bibles every day and in
talking to other prisoners, as is possible
owing to the construction of the Jail,
they are insistent in their advice to
others to keep out of trouble.
"Look at U.S." they say to other pris-
oners. 1--WE would not be here if we
had lived straight lives and kept out of
trouble. 1t is a bad business, and you
see we are up against it."
Statements like these, although not
made as those of confession to the crime
of which they stand convicted, are con-
sidered by the officials in the same light
as an out-and-out confession would be,
The inference drawn is strong. "Appar-
emily" the sheriff said the other day,
"the men show their guilt though they
still continue to deny the charge"
Neither one of the boys worries at all
for his future. Neither has given up hope
of getting off alive. Yet the thought of
death does not seem to bother them.
They now are waiting the outcome of
the appeal to the supreme court.
The Nelson's are reported to
have found fault with the authorities
at Owatonna for not having broken up
their rendezvous in that city. They claim
that had they not been allowed to con-
duct such a place their lives would have
been on a different scale.

expressed that Rev. Potthoff leaves the
Mankato church as the future of the
Mankato congregation looked highly
promising under his leadership. His
successor, Rev. f. j. Weigand, is an ex-

lied upon to continue to advance the
best interests of the church.

Great Western Defends
Complaint Against Discrim-
ination In Freight Rates
MERGER LINES ARE TO BLAME
They Ignored the Opportunity Given
Them to Remedy the Situation
Lines Must Reduce Their Rates to
Those Put in by the Great Western
Letter to Commerce Commission.

Minneapolis, April 22.-The Chicago
Great Western takes The position that
the complaint of the millers against
discrimination In freight rates is just.
The latter company waited several
days to give the merger lines, which
are said to be responsible for the Sit
uation, an opportunity to remedy the
situation, but as nothing was done,
the Stickney line offered a rate sufti-
GENTLY low to counterfeit the discrim-
ination.
Notices have beer sent to the inter-
state commission, and also
to Chairman j. v. Mahoney, of the
Western Trunk Line committee. The
letter speaks for itself and reads:
You are doubtless aware that the
and one Of the principal features of
the cause of their shutting down is the
discrimination of the rates from IN
terror points as compared With Mime
apolis. Some six weeks ago two or
three meetings We're held with a view
to reach an understanding by which
the rates might be equalized. n at a
meeting held in Chicago, a compromise
agreement was made, out a few days
later one of the lines party to the
agreement. gave notice that they would
not stand by 1t.
The difference in favor of interior
points runs from 2h cents per hundred
weight to 5 cents per hundred weight
1--WE have told the Minneapolis mill
ers that we were willing to do anything
in our power to place them on an equal
ity with competitors, and we have,
therefore, decided to take action. 1t
will be necessary to publish a rate of
71a cents per hundred weight on flour
and mill stuffs, Minneapolis to Chi
|cago, locally. and we request that you
call a meeting at once for the purpose
of considering the proposition, so that
all may understand U proposition
There is only one thing for the other
lines to do, and that is to reduce their
rates to those put in by he Great Wes-
tern. The line mentioned in the Great
| Westerns notices to the trunk lines as
having abandoned the agreement Is be-
lived to, be the Northern Pacific.

/. &. {. WATCHES CASE.
Flour Transportation a Matter OF Great

interest to the CofnWlSSion.
Washington. April 22.-The inter-
state commerce commission is paying
close attention to late developments In
-four transportation in Minneapolis and
the northwest generally, and is pre-
pared to exercise the powers vested in
1t by law to relieve the millers Of the
handicap imposed on them by the rail
roads. The commission has jurisdiction
over railroad rates, but not over the
water rates between Duluth and Buff
falo, where the discrimination against
-four is made. according to the state
ments OF millers interested. The COM
mission would probably take %jurisdic-
ton in some cas- involving the thru
rate on shipments Of flour, say from
Minneapolis to New York, as part of
the transportation would be by rail.
1t is possible that the commission will
take the Initiative in Investigating dis
elimination in rates on export -four and
grain. A decision was rendered, In eff
feet, that the rate OF flour to he sea-
board might be two cents per 100
pounds higher than h rate on grain
intended for export. But so far as
known, the question of discrimination
in rates on flour and grain intended
for the domestic market has v been
investigated. and it is conceded that it
might be a good thing to take up the
question now and thus establish a
precedent which may be followed III
future cases.
One official Of the commission who
was seen by a correspondent before he
went to New York yesterday, applaud
ed the miilers for their action in re-
fusing to make further shipments at
high rates.
II think the millers have taken the
best means to bring the Transports
ton companies to their senses he said.
1T beats a long-drawn-out process of
hearing and decision by the
commission"
A hearing is to be held in Duluth OH
May 10, in the case of the Duluth
Sh;ngle company against the Duluth
South Shore & Atlantic railroad in
which there is an alleged discrimination
between rates on lumber and shingles
between Duluth and Chicago.

last week the cattle market became dull
and l~istless, and closed with a decline
of 20m3o cents on beef steers. Mon
day, with receipts of 5000 cattle, and
lower markets at eastern points, the
trade vas slow at about steady figures.
The nice light and medium weights

meet a much reader sale h the
heavier grades. The good to choice
cows and heifers also suffered a decline
of 10@15 cents last week, while canners
and cutters have remained unchanged
for some time. Owing to light receipts
the volume of business done in the
stocker and feeder division is small,
but prices have held fully firm.
The hog market Toes not show very
much life at present, and the under
tone to the trade is weak, prices show
ing a decline since a week ago of Is
OPS cents. Good hogs weighing ESQ
pounds, and upwards. command a small
premium, but the range in prices is
very narrow. Hogs weighing under 200
pounds sell very irregular. Monday,
with receipts of 1900, the market ruled
S cents lower. The bulk of the hogs
sold from s7.05@s7.10. with a top of
S7.15.
The sheep market has been dull and
draggy for the past ten days, owing to
liberal receipts, and the influx of SOU
thern grass sheep which are killing out
very well. Prices have declined SCOTS

Opening prices were a shade to B@A
