Big Meet to Be at Rochest During
February


Julius j. Reiter has returned from
st. Paul, where he and w. C. Weber
conferred with the acting secretary of
the state association, Mr.. H. p Hail.
and Simon Clark of Duluth, the presi-
dent, in regard to a program for the
meeting to be held in this city Feb. 13,
IA and 10, next. A new plan will be
tried this year. Instead of the read
ing of papars prepared on different sub
jects it has been thought better to have
certain topics of interest to retailers
introduced for discussion thus bringing
out IDEAS on all sides of the subject.
The entertainment of the delegates
and visitors has been provided for by
the local committee On the evening
of the 18th, a smoke social will be en-
joyed, at which some of the best en-
tertalners to be obtained will add to
the pleasure of the evening. W. l. No
Ian, the well known Minneapolis hui
morist, has been secured for this oc-
casion, and it is expected that Others
will be present. At the Metropolitan

SCARED THE ACTORS.
Butte CeIts Take Exceptions to the
Stage Caricatures.

Butte, Mont, Dec. 20-Two thousand
angry Irish Americans collected outside
the Grand theatre last night and pre-
vented a burlesque company that came
here from Duluth for weeks engage
ment, from giving a performance.
The demonstration was the result of
the posting of caricatures ON the Irish
race, showing a balloon with the face
OF an Irishman being led by negro.
This action followed an Indignation
mass meeting of the United Irish socie-
ties of Butte, at which it was deter
mined to egg the male members of the
show out of town, and tar and feather
them if necessary. A statement, signed
by $500 men, announced to the authori-
ties that the signers would drive the
show from Butte and would forcibIy
prevent any attempt to give perform
ance.
The mayor and chief of police in
formed the theatre management that
the city was powerless to cope with the
situation, and that to give perform
ance would precipitate riot and blood
shed.
The company arrived about eight
o'clock. A delegation from the Irish So
cieties was on hand at the station to
induce it to continue on its way. Man
ager Frank Calder of the burIesquers,
had been appraised of the threatening
situation by local actors who boarded
the train several miles out of the city,
and he at once eXtinguished the lights
in the private car and, to avoid detec
ton, scattered the members of the COM
pany through the train. When the sta
ton was reached, there was rush for
carriages and the thespians reached the
hotels in safety.
As a means of averting boodshed,
warrants have been sworn out for the
arrest of the actors on the charge of
creating disturbance, and papers will
be served should an attempt be made
to give a performance. Manager Calder
declared the posters displayed are for
eign to the show and were used with
out his authority. He said they were
thrown in with the regular advertising
matter by Autograph house and were
unwittingly displayed at Butte. He will
hold a conference with committee of
the societies today and offer to give a
trial performance. 1t is not believed
the offer will be accepted, for the So
cieties declare they have been bur-
lesqued to such an extent that they pro-
pose to make an example of this ag-
gregatiOn and drive it from Butte.

JOB FOR JOHNDWALLACE.
Railroad Commission Wants Him to
Appraise Rates in Minnesota.

John f. Wallace, late chief engineer
of the Panama, has been asked by the
Minnesota railroad commission to take
charge of an important work about to
be inaugurated.
The commission was instructed by
the last legislature to revise railway
freight rates within the state. Prelim-
mary to this revision the commissioners
have been collecting information about
the present rates, earnings, etc, but the
most important information of all is
waiting for the man who is capable of
getting it. The commission purposes to
get the report of an expert railroad en-
sineer on the railroad properties of
Minnesota, stating after an examination
what it would cost to reproduce the
present roadbeds, rolling stock, build
ings, etc. On the basis of this valuation
the commission will figure out what is
a reasonable income on the investment,
and how much of reduction rates will
stand.
Michigan made such an appraisal of
the railroads. 1t took two years. time
and cost $4,000, but the valuation
reached has been used in railroad taxes
and in figuring rates.
The legislature added to the usual APP
preparation for the railroad commission
the sum of $4,000 year for carrying
on this work. Most of it will be eX-
pended on the work of appraisal, which
will take two years at least, it is be-
lieved, and it is not likely that any final
report can be made to the legislature at
the next session.
The commission has had hard work
finding a man to take charge of the APP
praisal. A former Great Northern en-
gineer, who had a hand in building con-
siderable of the Minnesota mileage, was
first selected. 1t is reported that he had
agreed to come at a salary of $1,000 a
year, but was later offered a place with
the road in the coast country at $4,000,
and threw up the states office.
Since that the commission has been
securing the country for a capable en-
gineer. Nothing has been said in public
about it, and it has been still hunt.
NEGOTIATIONS are now on with Mr. Wal
lace. When in charge of the work at
Panama, he received $4,000 year, and
when he left it was reported that he
was to receive a higher salary with
some railroad. This report was evident
ly incorrect, for the state is not in a
position to pay such a salary.

LIVE STOCK SHOW OPEN.
Chicago Affair Is Attracting Large
Crowds; Much to Be Seen.

To the noisy "rah, rahs" of several
hundred agricultural students and the
elatter among the late arrivals of cattle.
horses, sheep and swine, the interna-
tional live stock exposition at the Unior
stock yards Chicago-now regarded as
the greatest event in the live stock
world-threw open its gates informally
yesterday for week of sightseeing and
competition.
All signs point to a record breaking
show. The number of prize animals en-
tered last year has been exceeded al
ready by 800. and the attendance is ex-
pected to climb up above the 100000
mark. About 1000 Canadians are ex-
pected.
Tomorrow will witness the opening of
the "horse fair" in the new pavilion.
Earl Grey, governor general of Canada,
will be present with his staff to watch
the contests, chief of which will be the
keen competition for the $50 cup of
fered for the best horse owned by the
packers.
Earl Grey's appearance at the show is
due partly to his personal interest in
live stock, but most of all to the great
hopes which the Canadians have of cap
turing the championship ribbon and
other prizes galore. They have some ex-
ceedingly strong entries.
Canada has furnished the leading en-
try in the class of giant cattle. A huge
shorthorn, mailing from Salem, Ontario,
tipping the scales at $500 pounds and
that after fatiguing journey of sew
eral hundred miles. Next to it in bulk
comes Hereford bull from Eminence,
KY, at almost the same figure. An
Aberdeen Angus bull weighing 2,2O0
pounds, complete the heavyweight trio.
But fashions have changed in live
stock and the real interest this year, ac
cording to the wise ones, will lie in
the entries of "baby beef" 1t is the
trim, compact little animal which is 60
ing to draw the attention of all, except
those who are hopelessly urban and ig-
norant.
OF course, the champion steer, as us
ual, will be an imposing creature entire
ly outside the class of "baby beef" As
heretofore, the universities in all like
lihood will have that competition to
Nebraska won the prize in
1903 and Minnesota in 1904 Iowa and
Nebraska are regarded as the most
formidable rivals this year.

CHANGE THE RIVERS COURSE
North Mankato People Are Interested
inThis Scheme.

From Wednesdays Daily.
Could the Northwestern and Omaha
Railway companies be induced to stand
the expense that would be necessarily
involved in change of the course of
the Minnesota river at this point and
take as it's reward the dry bed that
would be left opposite the city? This
is the question that is agitating the
minus of number of North Mankato
residents; also people on this side of
the river are Interested The PROPOSE
ton to change the course of the river
is an old one, and has been discuss
ed often. 1t is claimed by engineers
that the scheme can be carried out. The
railroad companies mentioned have al
ways insisted that they cannot get track
room enough in Mankato. If that is
the case, the difficulty can be obviated
by the two corporations combining and
changing the course of the river, throw
ing it around by the bluff, thus leaving
dry bed which could be filled up, and,
too, North Mankato would then become
a part of Mankato proper.
