NO STRIKE ON G. N. RAILWAY
Intervention OF Twin City business Men
Results in an AEretment Satisfac-
tory to all Concerned.

Minneapolis, May 15.-The threat
ened strike of the trainmen of the Great
Northern railway has been declared off,
All differences between the manage
ment and the employees were settled
yesterday afternoon, when both sides
made concessions
The business men of the Twin Cities
took up the matter to see if a strike
could not be prevented. Only for this
timely intervention strike would un"
doubtedly have resulted.
General Manager Ward, of the Great
Northern, has agreed to district the
system, showing where double headers
are necessary on account of grades, and
in turn the trainmen agree never to
raise the question of the number Of
cars on the double headers in the Sec
tions thus designated.
Full details of the settlement have
not been made public, but enough is
known to indicate that there is con-
siderable increase in wages all around,
such concession to date from March l.

NOT 4 Trust.

A decision was filed IN the dlStrlct
court at Fergus Falls in case IN
volving the rights of newspaper pub
fishers under the antitrust laws. The
publishers of the county have for
some years had an understanding
whereby different papers bid in the
publication of such matters as the
financial statement and delinquent
tax list at legal rates, and furnished
the other papers with supplements,
the amount received for the work be-
ing divided by the publisher who bid
in the publication.
Last fall an appeal was taken from
the allowance of the bills on the
ground that the arrangement was
combine and conspiracy, and was
forbidden by the antitrust laws OF
1899 and 1901. The case was argued
at the recent term, and Judge Baxter
holds that there is no ground for the
appeal and orders judgment in favor
of the publishers.
He takes the ground that the anti
trust statutes do not apply in a case
of this kind, and that the facts set
forth are not sufficient to constitute a
conspiracy at common law. The case
will be of much interest to publishers
as the same arrangement is in vogue
in many other counties.
Collapsed.
Another of the concrete bins of the

burst. With it went $4,000 bushels

ground it poured under the railroad
trestle with such force as to raise
the tract three feet, crushed through
the side of train shed opposite and
poured grain forty feet into the
house. This is the third accident of
the kind, and the fourth bin to give
way. Two of them collapsed about
three years ago, and another on April
16, this year. The accident was not
unexpected, however, for since the
bin burst three weeks ago this one
has shown signs of weakness. More
than half the grain was removed
from it.

w. w. P. Mcconnell, state dairy and
food commissioner, is much pleased
at the way in which the cheese max
ing industry of the state picked up.
He US that throughout the state
and particularly in the northern part
where creameries are scarce, more OF
the farmers than ever are turning
their attention to cneese making, and
almost invariably they find it profit
able. At present two cheese factories
are being constructed in Dodge coun-
ty and one at Hugo, Anoka county.
A recent test made by Prof. Har-
ry Snyder, chemist at the state ex-
pertinent station, of samples OF the
best quality of Minnesota, Wlscon-
sin and New York cheese, that could
be found on the market showed the
least moisture in the Minnesota
cheese, and that it was richer IN tat
than either of the other samples.
The New York cheese was found to
contain a little more than per cent
more protein. The result of the test
showed that, as whole, the Mime
sofa cheese was the best of the three
samples submitted. This, Mr.. McCon-
nell says, shows that the climate
grass and general condition which
make Minnesota famous as butter
producing state will also make the
state famous for it's cheese.

"Well, all I'll say is this" said Mrs.
Jennings: "Annie Fall told me last
year that when Lucy sent home from
Nashua, where she was nursing her
uncle, to have Il silk waist made, Annie
realized she hadn't got any measures,
and then she remembered that the last
time Lucy was there she stood up by,
the big air tight stove, and Annie re-
marked - to herself - the resemblance
between 'em. And she took the meas
ure of that air tight and cut in mite
for the waist line-'bout as much as
knife marks warm molasses candy
and made the waist accordingly, sent
it on, and Lucy wrote back it was an
elegant fit."-Youth's Companion.

Confederate Flags,

In March, 1861, the Confederate con-
gress adopted as the national emblem
the "stars and bars" 1t was made up
of three horizontal bars of red, white
and rcd with blue union in the upper
left hand corner, on which were dis
played thirteen white stars in a circle,
thus giving the historic red, white and
blue, which tricolor appeared in all
the succeeding changes.
The resemblance of this to the stars
and stripes led to confusion, mistakes
and loss of life at the battle of Ma
nassas, and shortly after that action an
other flag was born to the Confederacy,
in September, 1861.
The battle flag was then adopted.
This, in the language of heraldry, was
a red field charged with blue saltier,
with narrow border of white, ON
which were displayed thirteen white
stars-in other words, a blue st. An
drew's cross on red ground. This
was easily distinguishable and was
never changed.

1t Costs Its Victims Many n Dollar
and Many u PanG.
Is it not fact that men really spend
in treating amounts that they would
hesitate to give away no matter how
deserving the charity: 1t is trait of
human character that comes through,
this all absorbing disposition to "hold
your end up" when with friend. Hum
lreds of men take thousands of drinks
that they do not want, and other hum
Greds pay for thousands that are not
desired.
Two men meet, and one says: Mighty
glad to see you. Let's have something."i
Neither generally needs or even wants
a drink. But the man who offers it.
wants to show that he is generous. He.
takes this method of proving that he is.
glad to meet his friend. The friend
after he has taken the drink that he
did not want, to prove that he, too, is
good fellow, insists upon a secondI
round.
The German custom of entering a sa-.
loon. taking a drink and paying for it
and for no others if adopted in Amer,
lea would prove blessing. The Amer
lean custom of treating is decidedly a.
curse What we do for friendships
sake costs us many dollar and many:

A Virginia senator was talking Of
negroes and their love of making i'm
pressions. He called attention to the
well known fact that negroes, as Il rule,
when paying for ten cent purchase,
will deliberately tumble through a
large number of bills though they have
the ten cpat p;1ca il another pocket.
The senator then told the story Of q
negro who saw an advertisement which
read, "Trunk exactly Ike cut, $G.T5."
On the trunk appeared in large figures
"S6.T5." AS the negro contemplated a
trip through the north he forwarded
the money for trunk. When the
trunk arrived the colored man was
very indignant. Tho figures were miss
ing from its side. He returned the
trunk, demanding his money back be-
cause of the important omission.
The trunk firm saw the point, ad-
mittcd its error and by way of making
amends agreed to paint an additional
figure. When the trunk arrived the
second time the negro was satisfied.
On its side, in slaring colors, were the
figures "$16.75."
