IS FALLING OFF.
Railroad Building Is Not Keeping Up
the Pace.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
Only 1920 miles of railway has been
built in the states of South Dakota,
Wisconsin and Minnesota during the
first six months of 1904, according to the
Railway Age, which gives a table of
figures, showing the extent of construc-
ton for the first half of the year.
According to the figures, Minnesota
has built 4l.2l miles of railway on six
lines; Wisconsin has built 6l.lS miles
on two lines, and South Dakota has
built 10 miles on one line.
Illinois leads, with 45l.30 miles ON
eight lines Missouri follows, with
249.40 on Eve lines; Texas comes in with
234.57 on seven lines, and Nevada is
next, with 1877 miles on two lines. Penn
sylvania has built l07 miles on ten
lines, and Oklahoma lO45O miles on two
lines. The rest of the state all have
built less than 100 miles.
According to reports received by the
Railway Age, no less than 1887 miles
of track have been completed in the
country, on l24 lines, in SO states. The
track laid during the same time in 1903
was 2,22l miles, showing that the ratio
has decreased and is not likely to be
maintained by an increase during the
last six months of 1904.
There has also been falling off as
compared with 1902, and the increased
operating expenses and decreased traf-
ic, resulting in smaller net earnings, to-
gether with the continuous stringency of
the money market, furnish the explana-
ton of the decline.

Bull Got Mad at Owner
From Fridays Daily.

Louis Seppman, Judson farmer,
thought until Wednesday night that he
had gentle bull, that would not hurt
anybody. Seppman went out to milk,
and gave the bull rap with the stool
to make him step out of the way of the
cow near by. Seppman had just sat
down to commence milking, when blow
in the back from the bulls horn landed
him senseless in a ditch. When he woke
up, he called for help and other mem
bers of the family came and carried him
into the house. He was badly bruised.

left after the fair is over to bring the
exhibits back to the state.
Finally, the management of the St.
Louis Exposition has not been of the
best. There has been too much red tape,
too much oneman power. Officials have
been tied up and tangled in rules of their
own making. The result has been that
heads of departments find themselves
lacking in authority, and it has taken
about twice or three times as long to
get results as it should. In this way
time and money have been wasted and
the Minnesota representatives as well as
those from other states have been days
elapse and much energy expended with
out visible results.

TAKES THE NELSON CURE.
Fred C. Wrucke Of MspIeton Goes In
to Bankruptcy.
E.-sd nnsl

From Fridays Daily.
The Enterprise has frequently referred
to the wrongs carried on under the Mel
son bankruptcy law. We now have a
case for illustration in our own commu-
nifty. Last Thursday Mr.. Fred w.
Wrucke purchased horse of James B.
Daily, making a small payment down
and giving his note for the rest. On
Friday he files chattel mortgage on the
animal to his father and on Saturday
goes into voluntary bankruptcy and Mr..
DAILY and other creditors can whistle.
Mr.. Wrucke has been engaged in the
saloon business little over a year dur
ing which time he has apparently been
doing good business as far as any
kind of business has been prosperous
but it appears from the number of his
creditors that his business has been on
the wrong side of the ledger and that
many of his customers were attracted
by his hospitality and good cheer.
The Liabilities amount to $2,655.55 of
which $l,l55 is owing to the Standard
Brewing company of Mankato.
Since the above was written we learn
that Mr.. Wrucke is doing all he can to
pay local home debts and that he would
not have taken the step into bankruptcy
had he not been forced to it. That he
had no intention of going into bank
ruptcy when he purchased the horse of
Mr.. Daily and that he intends paying
for the horse as soon as he can earn the
money. He had been used well by the
people of Mapleton and he does not want
any of them to suffer through his loss

CONVICT STRIPED SUIT
IN PRITCHARD'S COURT
Mission Worker Causes Wonder and
Comment in Vicinity of
City Hall.

Considerable excitement was created
In the vicinity OF the City Hall and Pc
lice Headquarters about noon yesterday
by a man clad in a workhouse striped
suit walking through the streets as III
concerned as anyone in the city. HC
entered Criminal Court No. /, where
the Tyner- Barrett case Is in progress.
and attracted the attention Of Justice
Pritchard, who inquired who he was.
When a baliffn started toward him the
man picked up his hat and walked out
Of court.
Sauntering along Louisiana Avenue.
he stopped in front Of Police HeadQuar-
tiers, looked IN, and then passed on.
Several persons followed MIN. while q
hundred or more turned in their tracks
in wonder and tried to find out who the
man was and whether or not he had es-
capped from the local workhouse
When he reached the Central Union
Mission the man shook hands with the
loiterers there and then went in 70
attend the MONDAY meeting. Close
scrutiny developed the fact that the suit
was tailor made, had pockets an the
trousers and coat. and fitted the man
far more neatly than a penal institution
suit ever would have done. He is q
mission worker and just prior to the
meetings al the Central Union Mission
he walks around the city to attract q
large crowd of persons, who will follow
him 10 the mission.

COMP TROLLER SUGGESTS
TEST CASE IN COURT
Declines to Decide Question of Paying
Coroner's Witnesses 81 or So
Day.

IN view Of the large amount involved IN
paying witnesses at COrOner's inquests
in the District 50 instead of e per day.
the Comptroller OF the Treasury has
rOtifed the District Commissioners that
he viii not decide whether the increased
fees ought to be paid. He suggests that
a test case be made up and the matter
thus be left TO the proper court for de-
cislon.
The doubt as to the fees to De paid
in such cases was caused in the mind
Of the Auditor by an apparent conflict on
the matter between the provisions OF
the District Code and the act of Con-
gress, approved June p, 1902.
1t was the old custom to pay ali wit
nesses In the courts and at inQuests y
per day for their services. Under the act
Of Congress mentioned, providing that
all United States courts pay their wit
nesses So a day, all the District courts
began to pay the 50 fee. leaving the in
quest witnesses fees at 81 per day.
Auditor Garrison wanted to know If IT
would be just to pay the inquest wit
nesses the 50 fee Commissioner West
has recommended that action be taken
by the Auditor as suggested by the
Comptroller.

SEVERE DAMAGE CASE
MAY HAVE RETRIAL
Justice BaInard's Ruling on the Motion
of Defendants-A Condition
Attached.

There is a possibility Of new trial
of the suit Of Charles z. Severe against
Allan L. McDermOtt. receiver Of the
City and Suburban Railway, to recover
S25. 600 as damages for personal injuries.
When the case was tried some time
ago before Justice Barnard the jury
returned a verdict I'm favor Of the plain
tiff for S15. 900. The matter came up for
consideration on the motion Of the de-
PENDANT for a new trial.
In dispOsing Of the matter Justice
Barnard said: Upon consideration Of
the defendant for n new trial il is con-
sldered that the said motion be over
ruled. provided that the plaintiff RENTS
the sum Of $500 Of the verdict, and that
the defendant stipulate to accept a
judgment for the balance Of the verdict
10 be final and conclusive; otherwise a
new trial IS ordered"
How the ruling Of the court will be
accepted by counsel on both sides Is
not known.
Severe is the boy who had his leg
crushed at Riverdale Md, By one OF
the cars Of the defendant, August 81,
1902. Because Of the accident II was
necessary 70 amputate the boys leg.
A. s. Worthington and William NJ

Acts Like Oxygen.

Liquozone is not made by compound
ing drugs. nor is there any alcohol IN
IT. It's virtues are derived solely from
gas-largely oxygen gas-by a process,
which requires immense apparatus and
Il DAYS time. Each cubic inch of LII
quozone represents the virtues Of l,250
cubic inches of the gas. The process by
which these virtues are concentrated
into liquid. stable form. has been the
constant subject of scientific and chem
ical research for more than 20 years.
The result is product which does
what oxygen does. Oxygen is the nerve
food the blood food. the scavenger OF
the blood 1t is the very source Of vital
itv. the most essential element OF life.
But oxygen is a gas and unstable: while
IIauozone is fixed and concentrated. II
gets an excess Of oxygen virtues into
the blood. to go wherever the blood
goes. The result is a vitalizing ionic
with which no other known product can

Working TOwdrd Union
Resolution of Rev. Teunis S. f1amIin Passed
With Shout and Singing of "BIest Be
the Tie That Binds"

der the overwhelming sentiment for IN
ion with the Southern Church was man
ifest the desire for Cumberland union.
Sooner than was anticipated the assem-
bly, proved itself union" body
The first dispute over the proposed
union arose when the clerk asked that
It's consideration be made the special
order Of the day for Thursday. The Rev.
Dr. John Fox. of New York. who Is op-
posed to the union. took exceptin 10 the
report coming UP so late in the session
and moved that it be considered on
Tuesday
At this point the discussion became
lively and the clerk announced that. as
the overture for union had come from
the Cumberland church, the assembly
ought to wait and take action after the
Cumberland church itself haG taken ac-
ton, which will likely be early next
week It was decided to take the ques-
ton up on Thursday and debate 1t till
the subject Is disposed Of 1t was init
mated that the Cumberland church
might not take favorable action. and
should this be the case, 1t would be
useless for the assembly 10 consume
it's valuable time debating the question
Dr. Moffat Will Lead Debate.
The understanding among those who
favor union is that the Rev DR. James
d. Moffat shall lead the debate. and he
is looked to as the man who can propose
the final plan that viii bring all the
forces together, as he did during the
discussion on the revision of the con-
fession of faith two years ago. The re-
port OF the special committee appointed
to confer with representatives Of other
churches regarding marriage and divorce
has been set down for Monday. DR..
Charles a Dickey. of Philadelphia. Is
chairman of this special committee. The
subject of marriage and divorce is likely
20 give rise 10 an interesting debate
This afternoon the delegates and their
friends viii enjoy a trip to Niagara
Falls on a special train over the Erie
Railroad.
The people Of Buffalo will have the
opportunity on Sunday TO hear the
preachers Of the assembly, as they have
been assigned to the prominent pulpits
Of the city. The moderator, the Rev.
DR.. J. Addison Henry, will have charge
and preach the sermon at the Assembly
