says: He is quite enthusiastic over: the
prospects and believes that the stock
will ere long pay at least IL per cent.
He says that this company has the best
plant on the grounds. which is all paid
for. At the annual meeting the first Of
the year there was fund OF $3.50, 600 in
the treasury but instead of paying divi-
dends it was voted to use this to build
additional pipe lines. Mr.. Sutherland
says the treasurer's book show the COM

to be $4,000 year, which proves con-
servative management and that the in

Whatever may be thought Of the Co,

Whatever may be thought Of the Com
mercial Union 5y the people of this city
out side of the city it has the reputation
of being far in advance Of the ordinary
commercial bodies. This fact was brought
out at the St. Paul meeting Of the COM
mercial and municipal bodies for the
purpose of forming state leagne. t
was the basis of the argument used for
the calling of the meeting, and the sue
cess that has crowned the work Of the
Union in its fight for just rate of freight
on coal was the argument that ives used
IN the meeting for the necessity OF having
an organization embracing wider field
than that Of any local organization. In
other words an organization of men who
will do what the railroad and warehouse
commission should do but does not.
It was matter of much pride to the
citizens of this city who were at the meet
ing to know that the city was held so
much in esteem and as recognition of
! the start that the Co nmerclal organi-
zation of this city has given the move
ment, j. A. Eckstein was made vice
president of the organization, the presi-
dency naturally falling to Mr.. Rosing.
the man who was at the head of the pro-
ject.
The necessity that has given birth to
this organization come from the very ex.
cesslve freight rates that prevail in the
middle and northern parts of the states
rates that are far in excess Of those
that are IN operation here, and the dis
elimination that seems to prevail in
many cases where it is apparent that the
railroads are trying to build up one town
at the expense of another.
There IS no reason why this organi-
zation sho uld not be of vast usefulness,
and because it had it's birth in the ideas
of the men of Cannon Falls, that city
will have the credit of the origin, but il
must be conceded that this city in emf
titled to the credit of creating the cir
cumstances out of which it has grown
and has done single handed what is now
proposed to be done by uniting all the
cities. !.

Suicide at Sanborn.

Last Thursday in the depot at Sauborn
9 man. comparative stranger at that
place took dramatic way of ending his
life. he was sitting in the depot appar-
emily like the rest of the people there,
waiting for the train, when he suddenly
and without any disturbance took out q
small pocket knife and cut both sides of
his throat, entirely severing one of the
]ugular veins. A physician was sum-
.moned by some Of the men who witnessed
the deed and he endeavored to do some-
thing for the man but his efforts were un.
#availing and he died before he was NOV
ed from the building. Little is known
of the mans history, who he was or his
business. He had been about the place
for some days and had taken room at
the hotel and registered from Iowa. The
night previous to the tragedy he had torn
the bedding and disarranged the things
IL GuC 1OO4 81 tudt lu6 lduulOIU, luluk-
ing that be had fits of some kind had
given him notice to quit the place. It is
possible that in one of these fits he took
his life. NJ. A. Bingham of this city was
IN the depot at the time and was wit
ness to the deed.
Since the above was in type letter
from the editor of the Sanborn Sentinel
brings the information that the namevof
the suicide was R. M. Chase, May City,
"a, and that he came to Sanborn to Sc.
cure the election as teacher IN one of the
schools, and was we'll recommended. His
brother from Alexandria, Neb. arrived
the day following the death of the man
and took the remains home with him.
He also said that the suicide has been an
inmate Of an insane asylum at one time
and apparently his malady had returned
when there was no one to keep him from
doing harm.
