ENCOURAGING REPORT FROM AZ
FEcTED DISTRICT NORTH.
SEVERAL FLOCKS ARE FREED
Sheep Held Responsible for Introduc.
tion Of Disease Among Those
Reported Cured.

In all probability the quarantine
which the state veterinarian caused
to be established in the northern part
OF the county a number Of weeks age
will be raised soon. Already some
of the quarantined sheep have been
freed of scab and driven onto. other
ranges.
s. d. Church, who was one OF those
SO unfortunate as to have their flocks
affected, returned from the infected
district Tuesday evening. He said
that his sheep had been sheared and
dipped twice and were now free OF
scab. Before leaving he had them
removed to a range in the Bull noun
tains, where the feed is better and
where no danger from further infec'
tion exists.
Mr.. Church said that the Heide
sheep, the ones held responsible for
the introduction OF the disease, had
been dipped and were now believed
to be in a healthy condition. Several
other focks in that locality, however,
we're still affected, as they had not
yet been dipped.
Under the vigorous measures adapt
ed by Doctor Knowles, the state vet
%erinarian, and the earnest cooperation
given by the hockmasters it is believ-
ed that the last vestige of the scourge
will be speedily eradicated, after
which the sheep OF Yellowstone county
will once more assume the high rank
they formerly held, so far as freedom
from disease is concerned.

u party of visitors called at the
I FIRMLY Billings Memorial library
pAst Wednesday to whom a particular
%y cordial welcome was given. The
4 pleasure which the visit afforded was
not restricted to those who were pres
ent to receive the callers, as the lat.
ter expressed themselves as equally
pleased at the opportunity afforded to
inspect the building.
The visitors were, Mrs. Frederick
Billings, mother OF the man OF whose
memory the library was erected, Fred
erick Billings, Jr., brother of the late
Parmly Billings and donor OF the
magnificent structure, Doctor Parmly,
brother of Mrs. Billings and S. E.
kilner, n of the trustees of the Bill
lings estate. They were passengers
on the North Coast Limited, en- route
west, and tooK advantage of the time
that the train remained to visit the
library. 1t was the first time that
Mrs. Billings had seen it since it's oc-
cupancy and she declared great sat
isfaction and pleasure at the manner
in which the library is maintained and
the very manifest evidence OF it's lib
eral patronage.
Several of the trustees and a num-
Der OF ladies were present and re-
ceived the visitors. Upon their de-
parture Mrs. Billings was presented
with a beautiful boquet by the ladies.
With the exception of Mr.. Kilner,
who expected to go to California, the
members OF the party said they we're
on their way to Alaska, where they
are going on a tour.

Columbus, O., June 4.-The Audi
forum was packed again today when
Senator Hanna called the republican
state convention to order. The report
of the committee on credentials seat
ing the Rouse delegates from Monroe
and the Sands, delegates o Hooking
was adopted.
Before the convention assembled
Boothman withdrew for lieutenant
governor and promised to present
Harding's name, so that there was no
contest for any nominations OF gene
raj interest or Importance. The gene
raj good will OF the peacemakers
was shown in the early proceedings,
especially in the speech of Foraker
in c~omplimenting Hanna.
After the report of the committee
on permanent organization Senator
Hanna proposed Senator Foraker as
permanent chairman, when the latter
received a great ovation. Senator
Foraker said:
This is Hanna's ear. Yesterday
was Hanna's day, which he improved
to the utmost extent in his great key
note speech-the best ever made.
Next year is Roosevelt's year," he
continued, and he eulogized the presi.
dent amid continued cheering. He
congratulated the republicans on be-
ing united on their leaders for this
year and next year, and most OF all
for their declaration of principles.
The representatives on rules and
order of the business were then made
and the platform adopted.
The resolutions were amended so az
to ask for national as wei. as state
aid for good roads,"

land of Cleveland. Under the rules
no seconding speeches were allowed,
but Albert Douglas OF Chilocothe
made quite a stirring speech and de-
manded that the nomination be made |
by reclamation.
His motion carried amid great ap-
plause and Herrick was declared the
nominee for governor and a committee
was appointed to escort Mr.. Herrick
to the hall. When Mr.. Herrick arriv-
ed he received a stirring ovation and
accepted the nomination.
During the week there had been a
lively contest between the followers
of State Senator w. G. Harding and
M. M. Boothman for second place
on the ticket, but when Senator Hanna
refused to take action the latter with
drew and presented the name of War
rem G. Harding, editor of the Marion
Star, who was nominated with as
much unanimity as Herrick for gov

The Railway and Warehouse Com
mission Reports on Passenger
Traffic in Minnesota.
Second Glass Rates Are Held to Be
Neither Feasible Nor
Desirable.

Three cents mile is not an unreason-
able passenger rate for the state of Min
nesota, and second class passenger ra ties
are neither feasible nor desirable.
Such are the findings Of the railroad
and warehouse. commission, which re-
ported to the legislature yesterday after
noon the result of it's Investigations un-
der the DAILY resolution passed at the ex-
| ira session last winter. yy
| The efforts of the commission to get at
the relative. expense Of operating freigh.
| and passenger traffic were fruitless. None
| of the Minnesota roads could give accu-
rate information. Those that furnished
| figures at all made out a case showing ex
| penses greater than earnings on passen-
| ger business. The interstate commerce
commission, it was found, no longer at
temptss to get at this division
| The only basis for figuring, therefore,
was by comparison in rates, and this the
commission arrived at in a number OF
tables submitted as part Of the report
The first one shows the population, area

mile and population per railroad mile in

In outlying districts the reduced rates by means
of mileage books and interchangeable mileage,
excursion rates and Communication tickets for
suburban traffic which people enjoy, the
| rates for which are 2h cents and under, the
commission is Of the opinion that the maximum
rate of 8 cents per passenger per mile is not un-
reasonable when compared with rates prevailing
In other states and do not at the present time
recommend any further reduction from the maxi
mum rate at present charged by the respective
companies doing business in this state.
Since the passage Of the resolution in question
the commission has succeeded in obtaining re-
duction all passenger ra tes to a ma Z nur of
