Judge Bailey held that the college is.
a corporation and parole or verbal
testimony on the position held by DR..
Alexander could only be given when
there was no record. The defense then
made a motion to compel the state to
elect which count of the Indictment

it did not mean that the ruling of the
court would end the trial even if it ruled
in favor of the defense. -".. @E

EXTEND
EXCURSION RATES

By operating the trains in this way
the immigration departments of both
roads have been able to keep ST. Paul
pretty well cleared of the settlers,
or, on other words, to get them out
the same day they arrive there from
their eastern homes. However. some
days 1t has been necessary to carry
some over until the next day.
All of the eastern Tines into St.
Paul are taxed to their capacity and
report more business in sight than
they will be able to handle. The ex-
tension of excursion rates. 1t is be-
lieved, will result in the abandon
ment of the fall homeseeker rates
which in other years have prevailed.
1t Is a fact that the fall low rates
have not proven such a success as
was expected.
