ABOLISH GRAND JURY
Minnesota Follows the Lead Of Wis
oonsin and North Dakota and Does
Away With the Grand Jury System
New Legal Procedure.

st. Paul. Dec. 2S.-Minnesota has fol-
lowed the lead Of Wisconsin and North
Dakota and has abolished the grand
jury system. BY vote of more than
121, 900, the legislature is directed to
adopt next month a constitutional
amendment eliminating 1t from the
legal machinery of the state. The last
legislature, after convincing itself of
the success with which the two states
named were working under the plan,
decided to submit the question to the
electors. The vote is the result.
For some years there has been much
discomfort over the workings of the
system. Hearing only one side of the
case, the prosecution, the grand jurors
often bring in an Indictment on little
evidence. In many Of these cases they
are unfair and work an injustice to the
victim.
Then the annoyance and expense Of
bringing indicted persons to trial, only
to have the case "quashed" by the
court. was an argument that carried
much weight. JuSI do AASqNS'A'A1'
when questionable cases were permit
ted to go to jury trial, the defendant
was dismissed.
These conditions led the legislature
to take action. Prominent attorneys,
who appeared before it, contended that
the system had outlived Its usefulness
in England, where it was created 10
meet conditions long since gone, ana
never should have been adopted IN
America.
No change will mark the trial proce-
dure under the new conditions, except
that the grand jury will be eliminated.
The committee magistrate will mold the
preliminary examination and II the
evidence If found sufficient the prison
err will be bound over to the circuit
court. The county attorney then VIII
file an information with that court ana
the case will be docketed.
There are some details In the new
procedure that will have to be arrang-
ed for. The legislature will take these
I'M at once.

FULTON CUT OUT.
New Cut of Of the Burlington Hits
the Town Hard.

the Town Hard.
Special to Times Republican.
Clinton. Dec 2S.-The Fenton-Thom-
son cutoff of the Burlington railroad
was formally opened for traffic today
and the telegraph Office Of the road
has been moved from East Clinton tc
Fenton where Operators Archie Moore
and Andrew Sheridan will preside over
the key. The change in service IS a
severe blow to the town Of Fulton.
Heretofore the company ran large
number of trains, passenger ana
freight, thru the river town, but In the
future but two or three trains VIII be
operated daily thru Fulton, the bulk OF
the traffic going over tie cut-off from
Fenton to Thomson, eliminating the
steep grades around the Gardenplain
hill, and cutting off the big curve
around by Fulton. Nearly all OF the
railroad men will thus be obliged TO
move their families from that city, and
this exodus has already commenced, 1t
is reported.
With one exception, all the freight
trains Of the company will be run over
the new line. A way freight will run
daily between Rock Island and Savan-
ma, passing thru Fulton. The train
will leave Rock Island in the morning,
and Savanna in the afternoon. This
is the only freight the company Will
run over the old river curve. Fulton
is no longer a division point of the
Burlington something it had been for
many years.
The permanent closing Of the saw
mill across the river, and the practical
abandonment of the town by the Bur-
lington company, are much deplored by
the residents Of the Whiteside county
town.

Some Interesting Figures From
the Bureau of Statistics Are
Made Public
RECEIPTS AT LEADING POINTS
Actual Receipts of Hogs Show a
Greater Increase Than the Net Gain
Of All Other acknowledgements
Receipts at Chicago Not Much Diff
ferent From 1903.

Washington, Dec. 28.-November
traffic movements in the internal COM
rnerce of the country show, according
to the reports of the department of
commerce and labor, thru it's bureau of
statistics, an improvement in many re-
spects over recent months, and in some
instances exceeded those of the same
month In 1908. Nor was this improve
ment restricted to any given section,
but was apparently widely distributed.
While the total receipts of livestock
and grain Of all kinds at interior CEN
tiers were slightly smaller than in Oc-
tober, the grain arrivals during the last
two weeks of the month showed an
encouraging increase Cold weather,
which was generally prevalent during
the latter part of November, has un-
doubtedly had stimulating effect up
on corn shipments, while the general
merchandise traffic appears to have
been extremely heavy. There has also
been a gain in the iron and steel tom
mage Of some Of the eastern roads, and
an increase in coal shipments. Car
shortages have been reported to some
extent in certain sections Of the cOun-
try.
Notwithstanding that the total live
stock receipts for the month fell some-
what below the October arrivals, they
show an appreciable gain over the re-
ceipts for the corresponding period In
1908. Total arrivals for November at
the markets of Chicago Kansas City,
Omaha, st. Louis and st. Joseph, ag-
gregated 3,330,697 head, as compared
with 2,995,959 head in November, 1903,
showing a net gain for the present
month Of 334,738 head. In this con-
nection it is interesting to note that
the actual increase in hog arrivals was
greater by almost 10000 head than the
net gain for all animals, this rather
unusual circumstance being accounted
for by decrease in the receipts Of
sheep large enough to more than Offset
the gains made by the arrivals Of Other
animals. For an eleven month period,
corresponding period in 1908 by ap-
proximately 100000 head.
At Chicago. total live stock receipts
for November differed very slightly
from those of the corresponding
months in 1903 and 1902, altho ship
ments were considerably lighter than
for the same month in either of the
preceding years. For eleven months,
arrivals totaled 13,949.334 head, as
compared with 14,146,820 head in 1903,
and 13,99S,759 head In 1902. For the
same periods, Withdrawals were 4,13S,-
