The remarkable success Of the Luella

here at the show grounds, Twenty sixth

tachment Of genuine Cossacks ever seen
in this country, under the leadership of
Colonel Alexis Georgian. Then come the

STATE CAPITOL.
ASKS STATE TO ACT
Rosing Wants Commission to Pre-,
sent Complaint Against
Interstate Roads.
The Cannon Falls Elevator Company
Charges Discrimination in
Grain Rates.

l.. A. Rosing of Cannon Falls, has re-
Quested the railroad and warehouse COM
mission to make new departure. In
letter received to-day he sent them
copy Of a complaint filed by John Mickey
an elevator owner of Cannon Falls. charg
discrimination by the Milwaukee and
Great Western roads, against Cannon Fails
and in favor Of Minneapo polls as shipping
point
Mr.. Rosing who acts in the case as
president of the Municipal and Commercial
League of Minnesota. asks the railroad
and warehouse commission to bring this
matter officially to the attention Of the
federal authorities. This would lend
greater weight to the petition, and Mr..
Rosing's position is that the state should
always stand by the interests of It's cit
liens In such cases He makes the point
In his letter as follows: ,1-.
If man gets drunk on the streets OF Cannon
Falls the state of Minnesota by its legal repre-
sentative appears against him. If transporta-
ton company violates the laws state and ma
tional. In regard to discrimination, why should
not the state Of Minnesota appear against that
company in helf of the ordinary citizen?
The discrimination complained of is said
to be a direct violation Of the interstate
commerce law. The two roads charge
tariff of Is cents hundred on small grain
from Cannon Falls to Chicago or Milwau
kee. The rate from Minneapolis forty
miles farther, Is tx cents. The rates from
Cannon Falls to Minneapolis Is 7 cents,
SO that 1t is really cheaper to ship to
Minneapolis and then to re-ship without
unloading. This does not help Minneap-
ellis, except as it works delay and expense
for the Cannon Falls shipper, and gives
an advantage to the shippers Of Minneap-
oils. Considerable rye and barley are
shipped from Cannon Falls to Milwaukee
and Louisville, and Is sold direct, but has
to be shipped by way Of Minnesota trans
fer and pay two tariffs.
If the Minnesota commission appears Of
f1cially in the case, it will make a de-
parture, and be precedent for state &C
tion In all cases where citizens Of the state
are wronged by violation of the interstate
commerce laws -. ....
The petitioner, John Mickey is presi-
dent of the Cannon Falls Farmers Ele
vator company, which ships 100000 BUSH
els of rye year over the Great West
ern.- After reciting the facts of the al
legged discrimination, the petition says:
Your petitioner Is large purchase Of rye,
and there is market for said rye at Louisville,
KY, but that because of said discrimination your
petitioner has been unable to avail itself of
said market to compete with the owners Of rye
shipped from Minneapolis.
Wherefore, your petitioner prays that order
be made by your commission fixing time and
place for hearing and that said rates he adjudged
unequal and discriminating and that proper
reasonable and fair rate be designated by your
commission. and for such other and further
relief in the premises may be just.

CAN'T THROW RICE
New York Railroad Officials Take
Steps to Protect Brides.
New York Sun Special Service.


New York, June 18.-Superintenden
William H. Davidson of the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad, has de-
cided to put an end to the rice throwing
nuisance in the station at Hartford, which
is directly under his supervision. Yes
terday afternoon he happened to be in the
union station at Hartford when a bride
and groom were being pelted. Passen-
gers had to keep off the station platform
till the couple were within the car, and
then in the hurry to get aboard several
slipped on the rice.
Mr.. Davidson promptly issued an order
to the station master to call upon the po-
lice to arrest all persons who committed
the nuisance Of rice throwing. Half an
hour later the station master enforced the
order and caused the arrest Of a young
man, but on the ground that the order
had not become well known, the youth
was released. Beginning tomorrow all
offenders will be prosecuted.

are very picturesque. They would be
handsome ornaments in a pleasure lake,
and they are attractive even in the Louis

settlers there say that they are a nuisance
as they frequently run aground in the net
