Upon making a second trip early il
the evening, however, be discovered
that the earth had become dislodged
and had fallen across the rails, bury
ing them in three places to a depth of
two feet or more.
He set danger signals and when
passenger No. 30, Conductor DeVinne
and Engineer Hefter, came cautiously
down the Klossner hill shortly after
O'Clock, they received ample warming
of the obstruction. Running as close
as possible Engineer Hefter descended
and made an examination, finding that
the most serious obstacle was a bank
of clay two feet deep and from forty to
fifty feet long. Under his direction an
attempt was made to clear the rails
with shovels but this was soon
abandoned, the moist clay, which was
saturated with water, running down
upon the track as fast as it could be
removed by hand. e T. /.
Seeing the futility of attempting to
make a passage, Conductor DeVinne
informed his passengers that the train
could not proceed farther that night
and several of them decided to walk to
New Ulm, making the trip in the
drenching rain. By far the greater
number, however, remained in the
warm coaches, making themselves as
comfortable as possible.
Returning to Klossner the conductor
wired for crew of laborers to remove
the earth and later the dispatcher am
nulled his train. In consequence it
did not come through at all, nor did
No. 80, which goes north from here at
6:46 a. M, attempt to make the run.
Monday morning the relief crew had
succeeded in their task and at 1880
freight train No. 81, Conductor Hag-
berg, arrived here from the north.
Since that time the line has been open

This is the second time within a few
weeks that land slides have occurred
on the Klossner hill. When the road
was first constructed cave-ins were of
frequent occurrence but for several
years they havenottroubleds Sundays

company. They were in force until
last week, when the Minneapolis & St.
Louis served notice that it would re-
turn to the old rate. In assigning a
reason for the step the railroad Off
Gals declare that the new rates were
unreasonable and that coal could not
be carried at a profit under the tariff.
Before the New Ulm Commercial al
Union began the agitation which re-
suited in the New Ulm rate case, the
freight changes on hard coal from
Duluth to this point were So. so per ton.
The petition of the Union asked that
they be lowered SO per cent, but when
the graded joint rate was established
they fixed the figure at Sl.95 per ton.
This has now been revoked and the
So. so rate is again in force.
In an interview with Minneapolis
Journal reporter, General Attorney A.
E. Clark of the St. Louis road, made
the following statement:
cit is true that the Minneapolis &
St. Louis Railroad company and the
Northern Pacific Railroad company
have cancelled the joint tariff on hard
coal from Duluth to New Ulm and
other local points on the Minneapolis
| & st. Louis road west of Minneapolis.
This tariff was put in under an order
of the commission made in the New
Ulm rate case. When put into effect
it proved to be non-compensatory; the
revenue earned being less than the
cost of transportation. Since the order
of the commission was made, the cost
of railroad operation and maintenance
has greatly increased, and rate which
would have been reasonable three years
ago, would not pay expenses at this
time. This company recently made
application to the commission to
modify the tariff, which request was
refused Under the law, rate which
is continued in effect for a certain
period, fixed by law, cannotbe changed
except by consent OF the commits
sion. AS such consent was refused the
company was Obliged either to- corr
time, indefinitely, to carry coal at less
than the actual cost of transportation,
and at a considerable. loss, Or cancel
the tariff within the time Limited; and
it, therefore, from necessity, Cancelled
the tariff. Whether the new tariff is a
restoration Of the one in force before
the order of the commission was made,
1 do not knows It was made, or will
be made, by the traffic department.. The
company would willingly accept and
continue a traif which would afford a
reasonable compens ation for the service
rendered, but does not feel justified in
accepting one which does not pay the
actual cost of operation"

The Dreadful Boys

M UcH Of the dreadfulness OF
M boys from six to sixteen is
due to the fact that in so
very few homes a boy can be natu-
raj without disturbing everything and
everybody, says a writer in Good
Housekeeping But who ever thinks
Of providing n place for the boys in
which to keep their treasures undfs-
turbed, where they can make all the
noise they like? II a man needs a den
to relax in. and everyone seems to grant
that he does-how much more does a
growing boy, Is it not dreadful to think
Of live boy in an deliberately furnished
room. and all the other members of the
family nagging him to keep still?
If mothers would give anything like
the amount of study and pains TO their
boys and the conditions which viii
bring the best results. that those do

might have growing boys instead Of

dlling al the numerous engagements
made by her husband before he took
to his bed, and for several days she
devoted her entire time to addressing
meetings Of worldngmen and working
women. speaking at several large public
meetings, and touring scattered dis
tricts Of the constituency in her hus-
bands behalf
She has been unusually successful in
obtaining votes for her husband. and her
influence on the married women has
been particularly great. though in de-
