The army plans to establish an indus

the forces of the northwest will meet
in Minneapolis this week and form plans.
Last nights meeting was the forerunner
of the conference. The brigadier said:
1.-The central idea OF the plan is to con-

Of livelihood for the wastre1s. The army
asks every one to give to the cause the

roads, is in use on the passenger trains of
at least one Of the lines running from the
twin cities to Duluth and is supposed to
be new to this territory, altho it is said to
have been used largely in eastern Canada.
The feature of the new plan is the ap-
pearance of the train boy as the fiscal
agent and the disappearance of the train
conductor as the power to be dealt with.
The wise ones, converse with the train
boy either from the seclusion OF seat
which is near no one else or in some re-
firing place on the train and pay the
train boy about onez third of the regular
fare. In return the passenger is provided
with a train check or some similar bit of
paper which he presents to the conductor
when that official comes along. This
ticket is taken UP and punched and. as
far as the passenger is concerned, the in
cident is closed.

 rates between the States Of Georgia, Ala
 bama and the adjoining States. It will
 be perhaps ten days before this statement can be completed and be in shape for dis tribution. ask the people of Alabama to suspend judgment upon this question
 until the real facts can be fairly and im- partially shown by the statement which we are now preparing.
