It's A Fright-The lawyers OF the
county seat have a rather close corpo,
ration In regard to financial matters.
They have an agreement regarding
prices to be charged clients for draw
ing papers. They have also worked
q scheme on the papers In the county
seat regarding prices for legal adver-
Using. The laws Of the territory pro:
vide a price that may be charged for
legal advertising, and this lawyers
association has forced the papers to
cut some Of the prices materially. Il
Is not claimed that the clients receive
any advantage from this cut Of prices.
The publishers Of the papers are d lit
tie tired of this, and have instituted
d fight against the lawyers. They APP
preciate that the best way to get next
to the lawyers on this proposition Is to
give them a little Of the same medi.
cine. Recently a man wanted a deed
and mortgage drawn. The lawyers
association would have charged five
dollars apiece for these papers. and
half a dollar each for acknowledge
ment before a notary. A newspaper
publisher got wind Of the business,
got the work done, and charged the
man two dollars and a half instead Of
eleven dollars. The client went out
and blew In the eight dollars and a
half he had saved celebrating the fact
that he had got the better of the Sill

have declared this newspaper publish

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER
and Health Officials Test
Johnson's Germ Killer,

Health Commissioner P. M. Hall, City
Bacteriologist IF. Corbett and members
of the council waterworks committee this
morning saw a practical demonstration at
the East Side pumping station Of the
aero o-electric invention Of Louis Johnson,
fireman at the Camden Place station, for
purifying city water. At its conclusion
DR.. Corbett expressed the conviction that
there had been a frightful mortality
among the tiny wrigglers who had par
ticipated in the shocking exhibition. He
estimates that at least 80 per: cent Of the
bacteria which came in contact with the
electrical current were destroyed. The
exact percentage will be determined
later by microscopic analysis.
The water treated this morning was
pumped thru a large zinc-lined tank. A
strong electric current was applied to the
intake pipe, the water being thus thoroly
charged with electricity as it flowed into
the tank. ..-s ..- I
Thru a pipe traversing the bottom of
the tank, the water was constantly being
charged with air pumped in at such high
pressure as to keep it in constant cornmo-
tion after coming in contact with the
current. This is designed to oxidize the
! organic matter. z@.fs .s~'%
| The aldermen expressed themselves as
well satisfied with the trial and it is
! probable that Mr.. Johnson will have al
| opportunity to demonstrate on a large
| scale at the reservoir.

by the Minneapolis delegates to the con-

After the dinner Eugene G.. Hay gave
a short, but at the same time compre-.
hensive talk on Reciprocity With Can
ada, o.: ~ y
There are two reasons concerned he
said, First, that necessity for the pro-
lection Of our infant industries no longer
exists, as the American producers are the
richest people in the world, rich in ac-
cumulated wealth and richer still in ex-
perience and bushesss capacity. Second,
the protection Sf &nerican wage stand
ards doesn't obtain rs to Canada, for the
reason that they are the same class of
people and have the same high standard
as exists in our own country
He said that correspondence was pass
ing between Sir Wilfred Laurier and Sen
ator Fairbanks, respectively the Canadian
and American leaders of the joint high
commission, which would doubtless result
in an early meeting of the commission
and the submission to the two countries
Of a treaty.

Coal dealers in Minneapolis do not be-

tracts of coal lands in Illinois will affect

been secured either by the coal men alone,

ceived a; sentence of ninety days in the
workhouse. he sWore that he would be
avenged upon the two young men who
gambled in his place and then testified
against him. This morning his first at
tempt was frustrated by Judge Holt.
AT the time of his conviction, Worth
ingham swore out complaints accusing Of
gambling Henry M. Smith, the complain

fed that he garnbled in Worthingham' S
place The warrants were pigeon holed''
at municipal court while Worthingham
went to the workhouses for ninety days.
Meanwhile the Smith boys continued at
work in the flour mills,
Worthingham was released yesterday
and at once made his way to police court.
He called for the warrants and accom-

Southern Minnesota May Decrease

Seventy percent of the wheat seeding
has been completed in Minnesota and
South Dakota. Wet weather has delayed
operations in some sections but the seed
has gone into the ground at a fairly early
date compared with the average for
period of years, and conditions are re-
ported very favorable in general. Grain
men are inclined to the opinion that there
may be "a small decrease in the wheat
acreage inssouthern Minnesota. In North
Dakota there will be an increase in wheat
acreage sYariously estimated at 10 to 70
per cent About Is per cent OF the
North Dakota area has been seeded.

upon any direct evidence that farmers

There is no fifth member to cast the de-
Gliding vote in case of a tie, because the
legislators believed there would be no
occasion for controversy.
The troubles of the commission. as
might naturally be supposed, come from
those who want jobs. There are numerous
ex-janito-s and ex-elevatOr operators
around town who are desirious to get in
and they are laying their wires betimes,
for it will be for the commission to name
all the help required in the care Of the

Pending the outcome of q specially

Withdrawn its threat to establish a rate,
of 714 cents per hundred pounds on flour
between the twin cities and Chicago.
If the eastern lines and the lake COM
panies persist in maintaining rates at
their present level, the Chicago Great
Western will put in it's 71z cent rate and
the other Minneapolis Chicago lines will
be compelled to meet it. 80 r' -
The rate the Great Western desires to
establish on thru business is the same as
prevailed last summer, when the rates to
New York were 2214 cents per hundred
pounds on export business, and .25 cents on
domestic. This year the. rates are rs
cents and 271h cents, respectively.
The general freight agent of one Of the
strong Chicago lines said to-day:
II have little doubt that the conference
on Friday will result in an amicable set
tlement of the points at issue. Mime

there is much discrimination in favor OF
wheat. T.. g
"The tramp boats, on the lakes, are
responsible for much Of the trouble, as
they carry wheat at very low rates, anC
do not handle flour at all. But in spite
of this, there is every prospect of an ar.
