and the other from Muscatine to Rut-
ledge, Iowa, distance of twenty-five
miles, were opened for business yester-
day. Both cut-offs run through exceed
tngly rich territory. The line is shortened
fifty. miles, and as result the road will
not have to ask odds from any competing
road.

missed and lamented than any other
member of the bar of the state of Min
neSota.
There is no member of the bar, at
least that [ am acquainted with, whose
death 1 shall more deeply regret than
that of Judge Flandrau, and I think
every member of the bar here will
feel the same as I do in regard to
him"

quently regarding his health, and
while l knew the end was approach
ing, yet 1 did not think 1t was so near
Don't you know, the old gentleman
had premonition that the end was
near, for he told me that he expected
to pass away in a quiet sleep. That
was a month ago. When l saw him
two weeks later, despite his weakened
condition, he had strong hope of re-
covery, and said to me: Wilson, 1 be-
lieve 1 shall get Well
Judge Flandrau could outwalk any
man L ever saw. He was not a sprint
er, as you call them, but for a long,
steady swing I do not believe anyone
could beat him. 1t was one of his
boasts that he could outwalk any man,
and 1 really believe he could do it.
1.-The first time l saw him was in
Winona in the early fifties, and he had
then completed a tramp all the way
from Traverse de Sioux, near st. Peter.
He was on business connected with the
United States land office, which was
located at Winona, and the fact that
he had walked all the way did not
seem to worry him in the least. In
those days there were no railroads and
he thought nothing of tramping all
the way across the state if his bust
ness demanded it.
From the fifties up to the present
time knew Judge Flandrau intimate
ly, and on more than one occasion have
been pitted against him in legal mat
tiers. He was a gentleman in every
sense Of the word and a most enter
tanning talker. Minnesota has received

Tributes From His Friends.
The passing of Judge Flandrau has
elected many expressions of apprecia-
ton of his public service and personal
qualities.
Judge William Lochren, of Minneap-
oils, who knew Judge Flaudrau for
half century, says:
Il first met him in 1856, and I al
ways held him in the highest esteem.
1t was he who opened the first term of
the district court of Hennepin county,
at the old court house, in the fall of
1857. His ability was manifest from
the start. He proved, in the general
estimation of the bar, one of the ablest
men who ever presided in the court
He made himself equally influential as
associate justice of the supreme court
of the state during the early sos He
did much towards forming the judicial
department, and by his acumen, ac-
curate knowledge and fine sense of
equity, he was enabled to correct
abuses incident to legal practice in a
frontier state. Judge Flandrau will be
remembered by all who knew him per-
sonally as a striking example of the
thorough culture and the high charac-
ter that characterized so many resi-
dents of Minnesota in the earliest
days"
A True Man in Every Respect.
Judge Atwater, of Minneapolis at
one time Judge Flaudrau's colleague on
the supreme bench, gives this testi-
monial:
Il am greatly surprised, for I had
no idea that Judge Flandraus condi-
ton was so serious. 1t was only three
months ago that he was in here to see
me, and while he was accompanied by
an attendant for safety's sake, he was
feeling perfectly we'll and did not look
to see his death come so soon.
He was one of the finest men was
ever acquainted with. l first knew
him in 1858, and he was one of the best
and ablest lawyers we had in that
early day. He was in every respect q
most true and worthy man and his
word could always be relied upon to
the last extremity.
After we left the bench we prac-
ticed together at Carson City, New,
and later here in Minneapolis, and he
was one of the most popular and sue
cessful lawyers before and after leav-
ing the bench that the state ever knew.
He was always as popular as he was
successful as a lawyer and maintained
this character up to the time of his
death.
Il think he was the oldest practi-
toner in the state at the time of his
death, although 1 am little older than
ne was, and he will probably be more
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1903-09-10

of business, he was obliged to resign
before he had held the position a year.
1t was during this year that he was
appointed as Indian agent for the
SIOUX of the Mississippi, in which po-
silUn he distinguished himself by his
work OIL rescuing refugees from the
treacherouS Indians, who were at that
time such menace to the settlers in
remote sections.
He became a member of the conven-
ton which framed the constitution of
the state. This convention Was pre-
sided over by Gov Sibley. During this
time he also acted as associate justice
of the supreme court of Minnesota,
position he held until 1864.
Saves New UIm People From Massacre.
Judge Flandrau did most notable
work for the state in 1862, when the
Indians started out to eXterminate the
whites. During these stirring times
his aggressive leadership undoubtedly
saved hundreds of lives. He organized
a company of volunteers and marched
to the scene of the trouble. At New
Ulm he was chosen communicative
chief Of the volunteer forces, and after
a fierce battle which lasted forty hours
without cessation, he saved the people
of New Ulm from massacre and the
village from destruction.
Soon after the Indian troubles had
Quieted down he left Minnesota, going
to Carson City, New, where he prac-
ticed law for a time. He soon return
ed to Minnesota, however, and locating
at Minneapolis, entered into a law
partnership with Judge Isaac Atwater.
He was president of the first Board Of
Trade in Minneapolis and was city at
torney in 1867
He returned to st. Paul in 1870. and
entered into a law partnership under
the firm name of Bigelow, Flandrau &
Clark, and was later identified with the
firm of Flandrau, SQuires & Nc
CutcheOn. OF late years he has prac-
ticed alone.
Prominent in Democratic Party.
Politically Judge Flandrau was
Democrat. He was an unsuccessful
candidate for governor in 1867, and two
years later was chosen chairman of
the state central committee and elected
a delegate to the national convention.
While he was a stanch Democrat, he
opposed Bryan on the stump in 1896.
He was a member of the commission
that framed the present city charter
of St Paul.
Judge Flandrau was married in 1859
to Miss Isabella r. Dinsmore. BY this
union there We're two daughters, Mrs
II. R. Selmes and Mrs F. w. McCutch-
con. His second wife was Mrs. Re-
becca B. Biddle, to whom he was we'd
ded in 1871. The children by this
union are Charles NJ. FIandrau and

CIRCULARS TELL
WHAT Law REQUIRES
Railroad Commission Issues a
Letter Explaining Car Dis
tribution Statute.

Efforts Will be made by the state
railroad and warehouse commission to
provide against car famine In Mime
sofa during the fall movement Of crops.
Circulars were issued yesterday by
Secretary A. G. Clausen instructing
shippers and railroads in the law re-
garding the distribution of cars and
asking that cars be loaded promptly
and not held for storage purposes.
The question of distribution of cars
has been a frequent source of contro-
veTsy between the shippers and the
railroad companies, and it is to pre-
vent undue complaints and charges of
discrimination that the circular ex-
planning the law governing the distri-
button of cars is issued. The law
quoted by the commission follows:
Whenever any railroad company do
ing business in this state shall be I'M
able, from any reasonable cause, to
furnish cars at any railway station or
side track, in accordance with the de-
mand made by all persons demanding
cars at such stations or side tracks for
the shipment of grain or other freight,
such cars as are furnished shall be di-
Vided as equally, as may be among the
applicants until each shipper shall have
received at least one car, when the bal
ance shall be divided ratably in pro-
portion to the amount Of daily receipts
of grain or other freight, to each ship
per, or to the. amount of grain offered
at such statiorE on side tracks"
The commission has no power under
the law to compel railroad company
to furnish caIsss upon the complaint
simply that asfipper cannot get the
cars he has ordered or which he re
quires to ship tis 3product. 1t is only
when the shipper is not given his just
proportion Of cars that the commits
sion has the power to act.
1t is advised by the commission that
each shipper fpdss9ut what proportion
of the ears received at his station he is
entitled to utilize and accordingly
make his demands upon the station
agent.
that If the law issobserved by the ship
pers and the railroads, there will be no

cular will be semitic all station agents

If such prices can be legitimately paid
by the elevators companies at Hanna
ford then they can be at Cooperstown-
If they are paying them in order to
crush competition then it is very
unwise farmer who by patronizing
them will help them to carry out
their plans. The farmer owes much
to the independent buyer. 20 years
ago the margin on wheat was &c per
bushel. This year it has ranged from
/ to 24c. The dry year farmers here
and at Hannaford got lOcs more per
bushel for their fax than they did at
Jessie and 20 to Soc more than at VIM
bledon and Courtney, because of local
buyers. You can't keep them with
you by patting them on the shoulder
and calling them good fellows. 1t
takes money to do business. Again
,yc say, patrcnize your local buyer.
