MEANS HIGH COAL RATE|
Railway Commission Hears Peti.
ton OF NJ. s st. z.
Grants Permission to Advance
Present Tariffs.
Set Aside Figures Fixed by New
Ulm Rate Case.

To relieve itself Of a discrimination
resulting from the enforcement of lower
coal rates in the famous New U I'm rate
case, the Minneapolis & st. Louis in
hearing before the state railroad and
warehouse commission Friday asked
permission to adopt the general level
OF coal rates resulting from the coal
and lumber schedule ordered into eff
feet by the commission a month ago.
The latter rates are found to be higher
than the rates enforced in the New
Ulm case.
Representatives of the Minneapolis
& st. Louis argued that since the
commission and the railways of the
state had agreed on new schedule
and had approved the new rates as
just, it is discrimination againsttheir
line to enforce the New Ulm rates.
They argued for permi ssion to advance
their rates to the level of the new coal
schedule. Is
f. Monday the railroad commissioners
made public their decision. An order
was filed permitting theroad to advance
it's rates to the level of the coal rate
schedule recently enforced by the COM
mission. The new basis is in many
instances higher than the rates that
have been in force
The new rates affect carload ship
ments from Duluth to Minneapolis &
St. Louis points and go into effect Oct.
26. They range from sl.75 to 1926 a
ton, according to the haul.
A supplementary order from the COM
mission directs that where overcharges
on the New Ulm rate have been made
since that rate went into effect, refunds
covering the excess shall be made, but
only in such cases as arisewhen shippers
can present the origial expense bills.
The New Ulm rate is 1926. The same
rate applies to Sherburne, st. James
and many other points. Forty-eight
stations are affected by the changes.

DRINKS POISON But LIVES
Engineer Thos. f. Collins Makes
Serious Error.
Through Mistake he Drained Glass
OF CarbOlic Acid.
His Stamina Keeps Him Alive and
He Will Recover.

Through serious error, Engineer
Thomas F. Collins drained a wine
glass filled with poison early last even
ing and throughout all of last night
fingered at the very portals of death.
Believing that he was taking dose of
whiskey for medicinal purposes, he
drank almost two ounces of carbolic
acid and dropped to the floor before
the Mortified eyes of his wife and
children.
The shocking occurrence transpired
at 6:20 o'clock last evening. This
week Mr.. Collins moved his household
belongings into the new Flor dwelling
on Center street and in so doing over
heated himself and contracted severe
cold. To alleviate this he had been
taking whiskey. Yesterday, after fin
ishingwork with the Northwestern yard
crew and returning to his home, he
complained to Mrs. Collins that his
cold was bothering him and asked for
the stimulant. His little daughter
FASTENED to wait upon her. father but
in some manner picked up the bottle
containing the acid, filing the glass
with the wrong liquid.
Stepping to the panty door, Mr..
Collins took the glass from the child's
outstretched hand and placed it to his
lips, his cold preventing him from de-
tecting the odor. AS he drank the
fiery fluid his features became distort-
ed and he fell heavily to the floor,
where he lay writhing and quivering
in agony. Mrs. Collins realized ia
stantly what had happened and ran
out of doors for help, her cries at
tracing the attention of James Nc
Call, a brakeman in Mr.. Collins
crew. Mccall telephoned for ply
sicians and then hurried to the assist
ance of Mrs. Collins, finding that in
the brief interval she had lifted her
stricken husband to chair and was
endeavoring to resuscitate him.
Simple antidotes which were at
hand were administered and when
Drs. 0. C. Stricken and j. L. .Schoch
arrived they continued the treatment,
the patient showing a gradual i'm
provement. In its passage the acid
burned his tongue and throat terribly
but did not eat it's way into his vitals.
The first shock of the poison was
frightful but as time wore on it's eff
fects became less noticeable and he
suffered only occasional spasms of
pain. About o'clock this morning
he regained consciousness and later
was able to recline upon. his couch
and converse. Today the physicians
pronounce him out of danger.
To his friends in all departments of
the Northwestern road, and his neigh
bOrs and acquaintance this intelli-
gence will be received with thanks
giving. His has had an extremely
narrow escape but now that his recov-
cry is assured they will rejoice. En-
gineer Collins probably owes his life
to the prompt and heroic measures
resorted to by his wife, but he also
possesses wonderful stamina. After
the wreck in the local yards several
years ago he was given up several
times but he declined to tamely sur.
render his existence and it is the hope,
of all New Ulm that he will live to
run an engine, for many, many years.

Climate and Crop Bulletin.

The rains Of the previous week con-
Nnued on the 14th and 18th, but they
were light; they were followed by q
day or two Of cloudy weather, and then
clear weather from the 18th or 18th to
the end Of the week The mornings
OF the 18th, 10th, 18th and 18th were
cold, with temperatures below the
freezing point in northern and western
portions Of the state. Frosts were re-
ported in eastern portions on the morn
ings Of the 18th and 18th, but the In
jury was confined to the most tender
vegetation. In northern counties the
late fax and immature corn was badly
frozen, but farther south the cloudy
weather seems to have prevented very
serious injury.
In Kittson county shock threshing
and stacking were carried on from
three to five days, but elsewhere,
though threshing was resumed about
the 18th, the work was seriously de-
layed by the damp condition of the
grain in shock and the difficulty Of
moving threshing machines because Of
the softness of the ground. Consider
able corn has been cut, and good deal
Is safe from frost. !.
A great deal Of wild hay, both In
stack and recently cut, in the Mime
sofa valley and other low lands, has
been injured by high water. ~
