Postoffce Ruling,

The postoffice department has made
a new ruling on mail matter addressed
to patrons on rural routes Which will
be of great benefit in this country when
the reorganization OF the system goes
into effect this fall. Under the new
ruling postmasters are allowed to
forward papers as we'll as mail matter
from one office to another where the
person addressed is on rural route.
In the many changes from one postoffice
to another that will result when the
new routes are established it will re-
quire several months for the patrons to
have their mail properly addressed,
and while there will necessarily be de-
lays, mail of every character will finally
reach the party to whom it was address,

Special to The Globe
STORM LAKE, Iowa, Jan. 21.-Al-
bert A Smith, publisher of the Storm
Lake Vidette, this afternoon shot Har-
vey F. Schultz, a leading lawyer, two
bullets taking effect. There were no
witnesses. As the second bullet struck
him Schultz leaped from his seat be-
hind desk and dived through the
front window of his office. Half way
to the ground he caught q tangle of
telephone wires, which stayed his fall,
and he landed on the pavement, shout
ing ALBERT Smith has shot mel" One
bullet had taken effect in the chest
and the other in the abdomen. Schultz
will probably die.
Six weeks ago, according to Smiths
story, Schultz went to the Smith home
one evening when Mrs Smith was
alone and grossly insulted her Some
time afterwards Smith called on
Schultz and told him he must leave
town. His ultimatum was that If
Schultz should be in town ten days
later he would be shot on sight. Smith
had told people of his ultimatum to
Schultz, but nobody believed he would
shoot.
The time limit expired today and the
tragedy occurred exactly as Smith had
said it would. Smith gave himself up
and was locked in Jail. He expressed
remorse after his passion had cooled.
Schultz Is married and has one child.
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-22

An innocent little paragraph in the
code presented to the legislature by
the statute revision commission, If en-
acted into law, will give Minnesota a
system of freight and passenger tariffs
unique in the United States.
The statute revision commission has
attempted to foist on the people
through the medium of it's code, law
which if made effective will revolu-
tionize the entire railroading industry
of the state and indirectly of the
Northwest.
The present statute provides that a
charge for a shorter distance shall not
be greater than for longer distance
upon the same line.
The commission changes this so as to
provide that the charge for a shorter
distance shall always be less than for
the longer.
The provision would put st. Paul
shippers at a disadvantage with those
of Minneapolis for western territory,
for the law would require a greater
charge for freights from St.Paul west
ward than is made from Minneapolis.
1t would also require greater charge
from Minneapolis eastward than is
made from st. Paul. Minneapolis would
suffer in its Southern Minnesota and
WISCONSIN trade, for if freights destined
to points east of st. Paul were shipped

THEIR NERVE FAILS
Oregon Train Robbers Leave
Work Undone

PORTLAND, Or, JAN 21.-Passen-
gers on the Oregon Railway & Nav
igation train No. 4, known as the "Spo-
kane Flyer" were robbed just after the
train left the East Portland station to-
night by four masked men who board
ed the rear platform of the last car.
The track enters Sullivan gulch, a dark
ravine, few hundred feet south of the
station. AS the train turned into the
gulch the four men entered the smoker
compartment and commanded the oc-
cupants to throw up their hands. They
then started to go through their VIC
TINS from some of whom they secured
about 800 and one gold watch.
When these few had been robbed the
bandits nerve seemed to have failed
them, for they stopped the train and
jumped off. disappearing in the heavy
underground in the sides Of the gulch
The Saint Paul globe., 1905-01-22

via st. Paul a higher charge would be
required than upon the same shipment
originating at st. Paul.
One Serious Objection
One of the most serious objections
urged against the law as proposed by
the code and found-in it's provision re-
quiring pro rata tariffs to be applied to
different points on a line in the same
general direction, is that it would result
in a great number Of different rates on
commodities shipped from points with
in comparatively short distance Sof
each other.
Under the plan now in force in Min
nesota, districts are created by rail-
road companies in handling staple
products. and grains and manufac-
lures shipped from points within a
reasonable distance of each other are
given the same general tariffs. Thus
grain grown within radius of twenty
to thirty miles of Crookston is ali
given the same rate to Duluth or Min
neapolis. Manufacturers, who must
compete in the markets of the world,
will be charged freight rates as varying
as the distance their manufactures
are to the markets, and it will be i'm
possible, under the law proposed by
