RACE WAR IN IOWA.
White Miner Shot and Fatally Injur.
ed by Negro.

n 4 y 5fr1
Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 22.-Race war
10 regarded as imminent at Fraser, Ia,
where Thomas Albright, white
miner, was Saturday night shot and
mortally wounded by James Price, a
negro. The white miners held a meet
ing during the afternoon and voted to
refuse to work longer with the ne
groes. They accused the negroes Of
having aided Price to make his es-
cape and the feeling is intense There
are from thirty-five to fifty negroes in
the mining camp and about 200
whites. Both sides are heavily armed.
s A negro, thought to be Price, was
seen near Ogden, seven or eight miles
from Fraser. He answers the de-
scription Of the man wanted and on
seeing that he was discovered con-
cealed himself in a corn field. A
posse from Ogden is searching for
him and another body Of miners from
Ogden is working the river in that di-
rection, while still another body is
making thorough search Of all the
negro nuts in Fraser.
II Price is caught it is believed that
the miners, in their present frame OF
mind, will do him violence.
Albright is still alive, but the doc
tors say he cannot survive.

In Dalny have arisen because fresh

1t is believed that the explosion
which took place on Nov. 16 occurred
in some counter tunnelliHg work.
The recent explosion, which was
heard on Nov. 10, was much heavier
and it Is reported upon the best at1-

1t is expected that the next attack
upon Port Arthur will be tremen-

FREIGHT RATES.

Washington, Nov. 90 Interstate
transportation matters with specific
reference to the fixing of railroad
freight rates, formed the subject of an
important conference at the White
House during the day. BY previous
appointment Governor Samuel r. Van
SAINT of Minnesota, Governor Commins
Of Iowa, e. P. Bacon and Frank Barry
Of Milwaukee and r.. A. Higbie, an Of
fetal of the National Lumber Dealers
associat ton, called on the president to
urge him to use his influence to secure
the enactment Of law which would
confer upon the interstate commerce
commission power to fix railway.
freight rates in the commerce between
states. The conference was arranged
by Chairman Bacon and by his sinvi-
tation Governors Van SAINT and Cum
minis were present. Governor Lafol-
lette of wisconsin was to have been a
member of the delegation, but was un-
able to come to Washington
The subject was considered by the
president and the delegation at some
length, the members of the party pre-
senting their views as individuals and
the resolutions adopted by the inter
state commerce law convention, which
was held in st. Louis in October. The
convention included 6 delegates from
more than 300 commercial and bus
iness bodies throughout the country
It was pointed out to the president that
for ten years prior to 1897 the inter
state commerce commission had exer-
cised the power to adjust railroad
freight rates in order to prevent dis
elimination, but that since that time,
by reason of decision of the United
States supreme court. that power had
been denied the commission. It was
urged by the delegation that a. law be
enacted by congress conferring upon
the commission the authority to adj
just rates when they were found to be
discriminatives in, their operation or
in violation of the Interstate commerce
act.
The delegation also suggested to
the president the desirability, as the
members viewed the matter, of dis
cussing the subject id his forthcoming
message to congress. The nesident
did not indicate, however, wfiat his
personal views were, contenting him
self with giving a careful hearing to
the statements made

Boston ladies have decided that

opportunities to study the lap dog that

to the fact that he is prevented bE

of exercise. If the lap dog could get
out occasionally and chase. q hen HI',

fence by an accommodating mule it.
is probable mat he would be able to-
keep himself down to reasonable pro-
portions.
But he is victim of fashion In-
stead of running along behind the car

life IS a burden.
1T is encouraging, therefore, to-
learn that fashionable women of Bos-#
ton have decided that the lap dog must
be relieved of his present trouble
To this end they have formed a club {
in the exclusive Back Bay district and
there training quarters for the pet
lap dogs are to be established Tn
der the care u an expert trainer the
lap dogs will be put through daily
exercises calculated to. keep them
from growing stout and to develop
their wind, so .nat they may be able
to skip about playfu1ly and where

This is a most comm eRdable move
ment on the part of the Boston ladies'

STUDENTS:
Comment on pr- EdWare
Chicago Address

Dr. Edward Meyer, a distinguished
professor Of the University of Berlin.
e1as been visiting the University Of
Chicago Being invited to address the
students he confded 20 .t.hein among
other things that beer IS used in
abundance by German students, ana
that peeririnlling IS a good custom.
1t induces the young men, he said,
TO grow up in happy spirits, and IS
beneficial in counteracting the effects
of too much study. DR.. Meyer could
not imagine q German student who
neither sang nor drank. Such man,
he said, would not be real German
student.
American students have been known
to drink beer, but they are rarely en-
coura ged in it except by the brewers.
and nowhere have they obtained the
proficiency in ii that the German stu
dents enjoy. DR.. Meyers talk made
scanda in Chicago. The president of
the Womans Christian Temperance
Union erieved sorrowfully to hear
learned man advise drinking, brawl-
ing and good-fellowship.' A repre-
said: IF he had said such things at
Northwestern ! think we would have
rnobbed him" Perhaps more beer
would make Northwestern more to!-
Grant We have heard Americans
who have studied in German unlVer-
sites remark how hard they worked.
how much they learned and how much
beer ley drank. Beer and study re

ity between them is much less no.

Our habits are not the habits of Ger
many. Neither our climate, our Wis
