GRAFTON, according to the informa-
ton handed the Dispatch OF that
town. Within the past month a
party of railroad men have been
there in the interests of the pro-
posed new line, but their presence
there was kept a profound secret.
Only one or two Sleepy Eyeites knew
OF their visit, but they have nothing
to say. The Herald does not brand
the article as fake, just because
the Dispatch got the scoop. =

Minneapolis over the ST. Louis, will
be pleased to learn that the compa-
ny will re-arrange its trackage in
Minneapolis SO that passengers will
be given glimpse of the Parade,
also a panoramic view of the fine

carry out the plan the company
has secured a strip of land from
the Minneapolis park board in the
Bryn MaWr district, on which ad-
Citional trackage will be construct
ed, and which, when completed,
will bring about the desired re-
suits. 81

Tracy has been sued for IS, OOC
damages by the Mrs. Kent whose
little child, it will be remembered,
was drowned in water hole in the
northern part OF the city the fore
part of last March, says the Herald
The case is in the hands of a ST.
Paul attorney and it is thought by
Mayor Robinson that the suit is
brought with the view of obtaining
money without trial; in other words
it is a bluff. The Kents were
renters of the old Tyler residence
property and on the premises was
an abandoned pit, which, 10 an ear
ly day, had been used IN connection
with the city water works system,
butat the time Of the drowning was
not in use. This pit was curbed
and covered but the spring rains
and melting snow had filled it with
water above the top of the curling
and had fioated the cover in the
overflow. When this surplus wat
er had settled into the soil the COW
err remained to one side of the pit,
and admitted of the drowning of the
little one. The dangerous pit was
on private property aud as city
water was not supplied to the
place, our authorities had 20 sup
ervision over the premises. The
parents knew of the dangerous hole
and permitted the little one to play
in the vicinity without apparently
giving the matter a thought.

LITTLE CHANCE FOR TREATY,
Attitude OF Senate a Bar to CHI
neSe NEGOTIATIONS.

Attltuoe OF Senate Bar to Chi.
nese Negotiations.
Washington, Aug. Sin speaking
Of the prospects for a Chinese exclu.
sion treaty, high official Of the state
department expressed the most pessi.
mistic views. He said that while the
administration was anxious and will.
ing to make treaty with China which
would more clearly interpret the pres
emit exclusion laws and would particu-
larry set forth what classes Of China.
men were entitled to admission into
the United States, there seemed to be
no prospect that the senate would rat
ify such a treaty, no matter how broad
its terms. According to this official
the trouble with the exclusion law is
that it is not sufficiently clear as to
what Cinnamon should be admitted,
while it sets forth explicitly the GLASSES
that we're not entitled to admission.
The state department would like to
see this matter cleared up, but in view
Of the known antagonistic attitude of
the senate in regard to any exclusion
treaty whatsoever, it is not anticipated
that any effort would be made in the
near future to make such treaty with
the Chinese government.

WheuI Grow LIN.

Our grocer's clerk comes every day,
Though why he should l cannot say,
For mother mostly orders beans,
And soap and mustard. salt and greens,
And tea and starch. and lard and rice
Not much of anything that's nice.
Such food for some folks may seem best,
But scarce excites my interest.

Will very seldom need to work:
The butchers boy III ask to call
Just once in spring and once in fall.
III have the candy boy call twice
Each day, and sometimes even thrice.
Mornings it will be best. 1 judge,
To order caramels and fudge;
At night Il box of chocolate creams,
TO make me sure Of pleasant dreams!

Stop just as often as he can.
New toys grow tiresome soon. you know
And then, ones friends do break them

THE WISE TREASURER.

How He Showed the King that Anyone
Could Cheat Him.
There was once q king who wa,
very vain Of his sagacity. Nobody
can cheat me-" he used to say.
His old and wise treasurer knew
better.
"Your officers are cheating YOU
he would reply.
Nonsense" said the king. II an
too clever for them"
He said this so often that at last
the old treasurer determined to teach
his royal master lesson, and spoke
thus to the king:
Your majesty, 1 will prove to you
that no one is too clever to be cheat.
ed. Give me even the humblest office
and will show you that the man who
holds it can cheat both you and your
people"
The king thought for moment
Then he laughed and said: IL will
make you the shepherd of my flock
of sheep. l would like to see YOU
cheat me, for know that there are
just 400 Of them, and l shall expect
you to give me an account Of the
flock to the last one"
The old treasurer smiled and with
drew. The next day he wrote to ev-
cry city. village and estate in the king
dom saying that he had heard there
was good pasturage there and that
he proposed to bring the kings sheep
to browse there, which was the royal
right.
Immediately the people Of each
place wrote to the new shepherd and
promised him money If he would take
the kings sheep somewhere else so
that they could keep the pastures for
themselves.
The wise old treasurer took all the
letters to the king and said: You can
see now that even your shepherd can
cheat you and your people If he will"
So the king was never so vain Of
his sagacity any more.-Boston Globe.

STATE PENITENTIARY
employees REMOVED

Olympia, Aug. 5.-Gov. Mead yes
teidsy directed the discharge from
state employ Of the penitentisry EN-
ployes accused of attempting fraudu
lent REGISTRATION for the Walla Walls
CITY election.
Some of the disc harged men are vel
known, one, Charles B. Wood, appoint
ed from Port Townsend, having beer
in the government service there.
Shortly after the election ct Walls
Walla charges of perjury were made
against D. Il. Woolery, H. Kinsmsn
R. R. Hszelton. Charles B. Wood, T
f. Donohue, Fred Scott, W. H. Dixor
and G. l.. King, all employees of tn,
penitentiary, charging them with hav
ing committed perjury by qualifying
as electors in Lewis precinct in thu
city of Walla Wslla, the complaints
alleging that they had not lived in thu
said precinct for a period Of thirty
days or any period at all.
The complaint was finally dismissed
on the technically that the oath ad
ministered was not proper registrs
ton oath, and therefore the charge OF
perjury would not lie.
Commenting on the action Of the
men, the governor says, in part:
"They might have thought they had
justification for doing as they did
Nevertheless, their actions with regard
to the election laws of the state were
reckless and impudent and showed a
disposition to trlfie with the provisions
Of the statutes. Such conduct and
such an attitude on the part Of men
occupying the positions of grave re.
spopsibility they are cannot be toler.
sted. If any class of men should show
respect to the laws of the state, it il
that class having authority over per-
sons who are being punished for trans.
gressions Of the law.
Furthermore, had these men been
so firmly convinced of their right to
vote in Lewis precinct, it seems to me
they would have offered themselves al
the polls on election day and sought
to cast their ballots. Their failure tc
do 80 indicates to me that there was
uncertainty in their own minds as tc

STRIKE OF OPERATORS
DELAYING TRAINS

St. Paul, Aug. 5.-Although condi-
tions approaching tieup have not yet
developed as q result of the strike Of
the telegraphers on the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroads, in
oreasingly serious delays are being
caused in the moving Of traffic. Last
night the effect of the strike became
apparent in the moving Of passenger
trains, which the officials by strenuous
efforts have been able so far to keep
practically on schedules. Information
given out at the Union station at st.
Paul shows that while nearly all the
moving trains of both roads were on
time, midday AM afternoon trains
have been coming in at all hours.
The Northern Pacific North Coast
Limited, due at $3.50 p. M, arrived
this morning at 7:4O. The Twin City
Express, due at 7:40 q. M, did not ar
rive till 4:S0 p. m. The Great North
ern has been somewhat more fortunate,
there having been no serious delays in
passenger trains.
Expect Crops to Test Roads.
What the outcome Of the situation
will be is problematioal. The railway
officials say they are taking all the
business offered, and will be able to
take care Of it. The operators, how
ever, are aware Of the difficulties with
which freight is being moved and pre-
dict that when the heavy movement of
crops begins presently the tieup will
be realized.
Reports from official sources on the
number OF union deserters and the
number of stations operated vary wide.
". General Manager Horn, of the
Northern Pacific, and General Super
intendent Slade, of the Great Northern,
say that they are continuing to get
men from the union ranks, and Presi-
dent Perham declares that these state
ments are greatly exaggerated in each
case.
