GRANDSON OF OSHKOSH
A TWIN CITY VISITOR

Ernest N. Oshkosh, hereditary chief
of the Menominee Indians and grandson
of the old chieftain for whom Oshkosh,
Wis, is named, was in Minneapolis to-
day, looking after tribal business.
While his homeais in Teshena, Wis, he
spends most of his time in Montana,
where he and his wife are teachers IN
the Grow agency school near Billings.
Mr.. Oshkosh is graduate Of the
Haskell school and is deeply interested
in all the problems which affect his race.
He expressed special apprehension. to-
day over the effects of the recent deci-
sion that liquor could be sold to Indians
who had accepted allotments.
''The Crows are so well accustomed
to living under authority,'' said he,
I" that the evil results may not be so
soon apparent out there. Where In
dians are living among the white men,
however, the temptation will be in
creased, and the bad effects are bound
to be serious. A strong tribe, like my
own people, which is growing numeric-
ally, may withstand the inroads of the
traffic, but decreasing tribes will suf-
fer. - CF.
While he does not remember his illus
trious grandfather, Mr.. Oshkosh is tho
roly familiar with the history of his
family. He explained that the old chief
being friendly to the whites, donated
5000 acres on the west shore of Lake
Winnebago as a camp ground for his
own people, and for the palefaces for
all time The city of Oshkosh now
represents the camp and it has erected
a Statue to the old chief.

NORWAY WILL NOT
LEAVE THE UNION
LIEUT.-COL. BENDEKE SAYS NO
DANGER OF SPLIT.
While Change in Consular System Is
Desired, It Will Not Be Forced If It
Means secession-How Prominent
Norwegian Soldier Views the situa-
tim

It is not accurate to say that Nor
way is united on the consular question, -
says Lieutenant Colonel Johan Frederik
Bendeke, of the Norwegian army, who
is visiting in this city for few DAYS.
while it is true that all the political
parties demand the establishment of a.
Norwegian consular service, there is
division of opinion as to how far our
country should go in pressing this de-
luton Of the union, many of our peo-
pie would willingly abandon the move
ment, as the cost would be too high.
The accepted opinion that Norway will
have her own consuls at any price does
not truthfully represent public senti-
ment, as the country is not united on
such extreme policy.
Undoubtedly the storthing will
carry out its program, but the advisa-
bility of such a course in relation to
the country's best interests is ques-
arate consular service is of little i'm
portance, except that it will increase
the taxes, and if Norway is also to
have foreign office, as some of the
extremists demand, the taxes will still
further be increased. The burdens Of
taxation are already heavy on our peo-
pie and if the load is increased, it is
doubtful if the country can bear it.
"This consular question has been en-
ployed for years as official issue
and warcry, and the professional agi-
tators have made much capital out of
it. They are now in fair way to have
their plans realized. It is reported in
the American press that King Oscar
will resume his rule in the near future
and it may be assumed that he will
sanction the Norwegian consular law.
By 50 doing the king will sacrifice him
self norder to save the union. Nor
way and Sweden, with the constant
menace from Russia before them, can
not afford to separate. It is unlikely
that anything will come of the talk. -
Lieutenant Colonel Bendeke has been
associated with the army since 1856,
when he entered the war school as ca,
Diet. He obtained his commission in 1860
and from that time up to last April he
served with the Irondhjem brigade. For
the past fourteen years he has been the
chief for the "landvaern' battalion
Altho retired from active service, he is
not yet thru with the army, as he is a
member of the royal commission which
Is to prepare plans for the reorganiza
| ton. ~ H.. T., = @ry
Lieutenant Colonel Bendeke is q
Brother Of DR.. Karl Bendeke Of this
city, and the father Of Consul Halfdar
Bendeke at Grand Forks. He also has
son In New York city. In visiting
with his relatives he will spend severa
months in well-earned vacation. HI
speaks English fuently.

DAILY rs SAFE
Affairs Of Varsity Newspaper Not SO
Badly Tangled.

Stockholders of the Minnesota Daily
considered the report Of the auditing
committee at yesterday afternoon s
meeting The report shows that the
financial condition of the Daily is not
so bad as was generally believed, and
the assets are sufficient to meet the
liabilities.
According to members of the audit
ing committee, the books of the Daily
have been kept in an inexcusably lax
manner, and it has been impossible for
the committees to account for all the
money turned in during the year. In
stead of the Daily's owing the business
manager, Harry 3: Ruble, $3.50 as had
been claimed, it developed that Ruble
was indebted to the Daily $135, and
this was turned in by him. He declared
that the tangle in the accounts was due
to the laxness in the business methods
Of his predecessor.
A plan to change the organization of
the Daily into a cooperative body COM
posed Of subscribers was proposed by
Professor Frank M. Anderson, but the
stockholders voted down the suggestion.
It is probable that the Daily will be
run next year under the present system.

HIT BY AN AUTO
Nels Nelson's Rig Hit and Horse Near.
ly Killed.

Nels Nelson, 1850 Bryant avenue N,
was run down by an automobile while
driving near Hennepin avenue and
Thirteenth street last evening, and his
horse was SO badly injured that it will
have to be shot.
Mr.. Nelson says that he was coming
down town at a leisurely gait when the
machine came up behind him at a ter
rife pace. The chauffeur, who was
alone, seemed to lose control of the ma
chine and it crashed into the buggy
throwing Nelson to the pavement. The
horse reared in front Of the machine
It's legs were badly cut.
The chauffeur stopped and came back
to see Nelson. Seeing that he was only
slightly injured, he assured the owner
that he would pay for the horse, and
then drove away.
The number Of the machine, says Mr..
Nelson, was 345 This is a st. Paul
machine and the police will look fol
the owner.

DECLARES TRUST
GETS CUT RATE.
OIL DEALER SAYS STANDARD
NEVER PAYS FULL TARIFF.
Testimony All Taken in Petition Of
Independents for a Change in Classi-
fication of Barrel Shipments-Argu-
ments to Be Made June 9-Railroad
Men Produce Shipment Statistics.

"The rate on oil from Chicago to
the twin cities has been 20 cents a
hundred for the past ten years, but
don't believe the Standard Oil com
pany has ever paid 90 cents,'' declared
Joseph Bartels of St. Paul today be-
fore the state railroad commission.
While this statement was not perth
$tention, and one of the railroad attor-
{neys reminded Mr.. Bartels that he was
under oath. rs
= "Well,', he replied, "I believe I
would be willing to swear to that. -
: The final testimony on the complaint
of the independent oil dealers was
taken today. The commission will hear
arguments June 8 at 10 am.
A: G: johnson, general agent of the
North Western road at Winona, pre-
sented a statement Of the oil carrying
business on that line in Minnesota last
year. It handled 1886 barrels Of oil
at third-class rates. The average haul
was 81 miles, and the average freight
paid was ~ cents a barrel If barrel
shipments were reduced to fourthclass
this would mean a reduction il Of l4;3
glass rate is approximately rs per cent
Of the third-class rate. Mr.. Johnson
declared that extra precautions were
needed in loading barrel oil, and that
they had many claims for damages
to other goods shipped in the same
cars. He also testified that the Stand
ard had competitors in the wholesale
trade, with tank stations at Chatfeld,
Pine Island, Zumbrota and Lamberton,
on his line. e=
Lead Did Not Pan Out. I
E. J. Cannon, conducting the examina-
ton for the Independent oil men, asked
if it was not true that the cost of haul
ing freight averaged half cent 8 ton
mile. Mr.. johnson did not know, but
said he could figure it out for the
sioner Staples said that was informa-
ton the commission had been trying
to get for years, and would be delighted
if Mr.. johnson would furnish it. He
then explained that such figures would
be only approximate and calculated by
prorating. They might be satisfactory
to him but not conclusive to anyone
| else.
| Henry Blakeley, assistant general
freight agent Of the Northern Pacific
presented figures comparing. the stand
ard Illinois tariff, prepared by the rail
road commission of that state, with the
distance tariff used by the Northern
| Pacific. It showed the Illinois rates
lower on distances over twenty miles
but similar differences between thu
third, fourth and fifth class rates made
in each case.
Joseph Bartels gave further evidence
as to competition with the Standard
and said the Independents could mo-
compete on low-gravity Ohio oil, which
! the Standard sells to the trade in st
Paul at TX cents. The independents
sell Pennsylvania oil at II cents.
A. G. johnson broke in to ask why

argument which ended the hearing. MI
