Restrictions Are Being Withdrawn In Fa.

The railroads are beginning to let UP
little on restrictions affecting Minneapo-
lis shippers, and while conditions are still
unsatisfactory in many respects, they have
greatly improved within a few days. Six

with business, some drastic measures
were resorted to and restrictive orders
were issued affecting all shippers, espe-
| cially the grain and milling trades.
That shippers may know about where
| they stand, A. L. Scott of the Terminal
Dispatch association has issued on order
defining the position of the roads that
have changed their orders.

TWINS AT THE FAIR
Mayor Haynes Thinks They Should
Be Well Represented at the
Dedication. * H..
-E,.E- s.--...-
Is Making an Effort to Get Large
Delegations to Go to
St. Louis.

Minneapolis and st. Paul will go down
to st. Louis hand in hand to help dedicate
the magnificent worlds fair buildings and
incidentally to boom the northwest. Such
at least are the plans Of Mayor James G.
Haynes who is now engaged In arousing
enthusiasm for his project. In his opin-
ion it is the duty of Minneapolis and St.
Paul to make g. real ''splurge'' in the
great civic parade Of May 2 and on all
other ceremonies connected with the
dedica ton. It is now too late to design
and construct allegorical floats or make
picturesque display but there
Is no reason why a strong representative
delegation cannot participate In the ex-
ercises and no reason why the numbers
should not be sufficiently impressive to
attract attention.
Mr.. Haynes has convinced himself that
it will be possible for the twin cities to
make a. showing worthy Of a. community
Of 450,oo and he was busy to-day carry
ing out his plans.
This evening he will submit a writing
to the city council calling attention to the
Importance of the coming events and to
the absolute necessity Of being adequate
ly represented. He will further urge an
appropriation for some Of the expenses
Of such a trip. In addition he has sent
personal communications to the CONNER
cial club, the Chamber of Commerce and
other bodies earnestly urging them to
take an active interest in the matter and
to send as strong delegations as pos
sible.
Mayor Haynes will attend the dedica.-
tory exercises on April 80 and the civic
parade on May 2. He realizes that ii
will not be possible to keep a large dele
cation together for such a long time, but
the whole trip can be made in four. OF
five days and, he says, it; will be worth
the while. - p -z:&a<.
| st. Paul is very enthusiastic and is
willing to join hands with Minneap polls
in anything that will promote the inter.
ests and fame of the twins. Nv. y -

Can Mrs. Olson Prosecute Suit

The Defense Will Try to Take
Advantage Of Her
Remarriage.

- ~ = Il
case being tried before Judge Harri-
son Is developing some interesting facts
as we'll as some nice questions OF law
Marie Edridge has brought suit against

$1,000 damages, which she alleges to be
due her on account Of vile language used
and an assault made upon her by the
defendant. 81. -. T. H.. ,.sa .-s
It appears that Mrs. Edridge some time
ago secured divorce from her husband
and this morning upon cross examinations
the plaintiff admitted that she was mar
ried three days ago to one Olson. This
caused Freeman p. Lane, attorney for the
defense, to move a. dismissal on the
ground that Mrs. Olson could not prose
