Special to The journal.
Wlnoha, Mimi, Oct. 25.--The Winona Board
of Trade is indignant because its name has been
included in list Of organizations that have de-
clared IN favor Of enlarging the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, this list being
made public in connection with the approaching
interstate commerce law convention to be held
at Chicago tomorrow.
When Secretary George W. Gregory learned of
this heat once addressed letter to Frank
Barry, secretary Of the executive committee of
the Interstate commerce law convention. The
letter Is follows
"Our organiza ton learns that its appears
IN a list issued by your committee of mercantile
commercial and other organizations which are i'll
sympathy with the movement to give the inter-
state commerce commission greater power, and
inasmuch as the Winona Board Of Trade has
never taken any formal action in reference
to railroadrute legislation clothed your COM
mittee with any power whatever to represent it.,
legs to request that you will discontinue the use
Of its name in such manner"
This matter, it can be stated has never even
come up before the Board of Trade in any formal
manner. At session Of last winter, called to
meet some st. Paul gentlemen who were inter-
ested In an organization for pushing legislation
to secure reciprocal demurrage and otherwise
protect merchants against the railways. those
present at the meeting, which was fairly repre-
sentative of Winona's leading manufacturing and
mercantile interests, refused to take any action
whatever.
The st. Paul gentlemen were given an atten-
tive hearing and vote Of thanks was passed
for the information they had given, but from
the expressions made at that time the merchants
and manufacturers appeared to be well satisfied
with the eatment accorded to them by the rail
ways entering this city, and did not feel there
was any occasion for hostile demonstrations.
Represe ntat ives of the state dairy and foo(
commission have been working in Winona thi
week and result of their campaign fines
and costs aggregating 1856 have been collected
in the municipal court. Six liquor dealers ant
grocer were caught in the dragnet for having
articles not coming up to the state standard.

Warren Mimi, Oct. 25-About $50 farmers

Auditor Iverson at this town. e., .a.
The lands offered in Marshall county are most

The top price received in this county was
$12 About 1000 acres were sold
Prospective purchasers came here from several
points in southern Minnesota and the Dakotas

before the sale and not finding what they want
ed have either purchased private lands or have
gone on to other counties to look over what
the state has to Offer .'..i -.a
The homestead provisions Of the law under
which the lands are offered for the first time

CANDIDATES NOT LACKING
Wisconsin s Political Battle for Cover
norship Opens Early.

MADISON. VISA complicated political bat
tie is opening in Wisconsin, in advance by
full year Of the state primary election. Already
two La Toilette republicans have formally an
nounced their candidacy for the governorshp
and two others are practically to enter the race.
Senator j. J. McGi!liyray of Black Raver Falls
was the first to make the bid and Speaker L.
L: Lenroot. of Superior, twice presiding officer
of the legislative assembly, has made his an
nouncement. W: D; Connor Of Marshheld. chair:
man Of the La Toilette republican state central
& mmittee Is known to aspire, and Lieutenant
Governor Davidson has repeatedly told his friends
that he will announce himself soon as the
newness is worn of Lenroot's announcement.
Lenroot seems to be the choice of Governor
La Toilette. but the administration republicans
are by means unanimous There Is reason
here for the statement that Davidson did not
know that the Lenroot announcement was to be
issued when it appeared and the acting governor
was surprised by it. If three or four La Fol
lette. leaders enter. the race for the guberna
torial nomination, the spooner stalwart repub-
leans may unite upon Senator A. L. Kreutzer
faction, would have a promising outlook in the
primary election a year hence. according to the
POLITICAL wiseacEes. @--. -
Should it simmer down. to race between Len.
root and Davidson, the stalwarts might support
Davidson.

Sioux City, sIowa, Oct. 25.-In the trial Of Ed
Primghar, for accepting deposits knowing the
bank to be 1nsolvent, ]. M. Shrenk, proprietor Of
the Sheldon marble works. prosecuting witness,
fatty contradicted the claim Of the defense that
Brown did not know q deposit in question was
made. - .E1
He testified that he deposited SOS in the bank
at 1870 o'clock in the afternoon of Nov. g. 1903,
and that soon after the doors were closed not to
be reopened The defense claimed Brown did
not know of the deposit, but Shrenk said Brown
and his two sons were both In the bank at the
time. ..-
T. G. Cannon Of Sioux City expert accountant,
testified he had examined the books soon after
the failure and that he found when the bank
was reorganized in 1902 bills receivable amount
ing to $192, 900 were carried and of this the
bank in two years collected but $4,000 1t will
be claimed by the state that great amount
of these securities were known to be value
less, and that Brown cannot therefore claim the
bank was solvent, either at the time of the fail
ure or in the few years preceding it.
