Liverpool's Experience.

Liverpool, population $4,000, was
the largest of the 10 cities from
which reports were sent to Judge
Dunno. The experience of Liverpool
is like that of other English munich
paIities. In 1897 the city bought out
the tramway company for $2.sOO,o0O'
In three years the 6s miles of trac-
ton were extended to los and
changed from horse power to cleo
tricity. The average fare was re-
duced from cents to cents. New
cars were provided and the schedules
on the principal routes reduced. To
meet this competition the railways
have established a cheap suburban
service. Wages of the Liverpool
tramway employees have been Nlcreas-
ed 10 to Is cents per day, hours re-
duced from IA to 10, weeks work re-
duced from seven days TO six days,
uniforms are furnished free and
plan for granting pensions is under
consideration. With all these benefits
to passengers and employees the
tramways management, during the
past four years, has paid $4,000
into the public treasury and has
placed s2.92s,175 in sinking fund.

WASHINGTON, April S.-Some
people in the United States may be
surprised to learn that socialism has
progressed so far in England that
babies are supplied with milk by the
municipalities. In Liverpool the
babies of the slums have for four
years been fed on a specially pre-
pared "humanized' milk, administer
ed under the direct supervision of
the city authorities, and sold to the
mothers at actual cost And so sue
cessful has this scheme been in the
saving of baby lives that Birming
ham is now taking steps to adopt the
same plan. Since the undertaking was
started, in 1901, no less than 5000
bodies have been fed on the human
lied" milk-that is, milk sterilized
and altered to make it like human
lmilk-and the death rate of infants
has been reduced almost one-half. 1t
is not the practice to supply this milk
to mothers who are able to suckle
their offspring; but when the parents
are poor and underfed, and the babies
would otherwise be fed on improper
artificial foods, they are supplied
with the city milk.

he promised to bring it about with
the least possible delay.
Action was desired Dunno prom
ised it. The people are hopeful of
quick results. They will get action,
all right, but it is too early to tell
whether it will lead to immediate
ownership or prolonged litigation.
Should the city get possession of
the lines and operate them, the out
come would be awaited with interest
throughout the world 1t would be a
tremendous thing financially, involv-
ing an expenditure variOusly estimat-
ed at from $4,000, 900 to 800, 100000,
and would be the first important test
of an American citys ability to oper-
ate street railways.
Europe Led the Way.
European cities demonstrated their
ability in this direction long ago.
None of them, however, is as large
as Chicago. Conditions across the
water are not like those in the states
and this fact would give Chicago
ownership additional interest. 1t has
been claimed by opponents of city
ownership that it has been a failure
abroad and would be a worse failure
in this country. They aver that mu-
nicipal government in England is bet
ter administered than In this country,
that in British cities the ablest citi-
zens accept seats in municipal coun-
ellis.
The inspiration of the democratic
campaign came from the success
that has attended municipal owner
ship in England and Scotland. Last
January Judge Dunno sent to the
managers of tramways in these cities
a letter asking for a detailed state
ment of their experience with private
and municipal ownership. Replies
came from 10 cities. Every single
one of them reported that under mu-
nicipal ownership there were lower
fares, better service, higher wages
and better labor conditions than un-
der private ownership.
Thereupon the Dunno campaign
doomed. What the British had done
Chicago could do. Dunno aggressive
~ pressed the fight on that issue and
was elected.

ALLIANCE OF COTTON
 GROWERS IS URGED
Plan Outlined in Resolutions Adopted at Meeting of Yell County Far
 mers at Dardanelle.

Dardanelle, Jan. II. A mass meeting of Yell county cotton raisers was held in this city this afternoon. The court house was packed from end to end, notwith- standing unfavorable weather con ditions. Strong speeches were made by many farmers and oth- CTS, and the following resolution was adopted with enthusiastic una nimity:
 Resolved, That every citizen of the South identified with the in- terests of the cotton producer should lend his immediate and jealous aid to the organization of an alliance among the cotton grow CTS of the South, which shall be an organization so liberal in its limits as to include all classes of people immediately interested in the profitable production of cot ton, yet so prudent of it's member ship as to bar all brokers, bucket shops and bear interests, and thus to preclude the domination of the policy of this body by any spirit of speculation or other influence not calculated to promote the pros perity of the actual producer of the staple; be 1t further
 Resolved, That when such al lance shall be so formed and es- tablished, one of it's first and most important duties shall be the i'm mediate inauguration of d genera agreement to be promulgated throughout all the cotton states, by which every producer and holder of unsold cotton shall agree anc bind himself to withhold from the market twenty-five per cent of hi, unsold cotton now on hand, or un' der his control, or such part a will reduce the present crop two million bales.

But the Town Assessor Evened Up Things with the
 Janitor.

Martin Hobbs was man of un- certain temper, but of such i'm portance in his native town that he lash of his tongue was borne with patience by those to whom he grudgingly ministered in his ca pacities of iceman, plumber and ianitor of the town hall, relates Youths Companion.
 In the course of his duties as jan itor hereduced almost to the verge of tears q young woman who asked for the key of q room in the town hall where certain records were kept.
 Martin knew that she was writ ing the history of the town, but he did not propose to strew her path with roses.

Anybody ast' ye to write a hist'ry? Who's agoin' to read it? Here's your key, and mind you fetch it back, and lay it on that table if Pm not here."
 The town assessor was at work where he heard this ungracious address, and when the young woman returned the key he said 1 indignantly:

 70, well," said the young his torian, "he felt little cross, ant had to grumble, that's all" sNeyer you mind," said the as sessor, cheerfully, 'I'm going t' make out his tax bill today, anC I shall assess him for seven more hens"

Lake Shirwa Disappears.

It is reported in Petermann's Mittheilungen that Lake Shirwa, discovered by pr. Livingstone in 1859, southeast of Lake Nyassa in Central Africa, has entirely disap- peared, with the exception of few small ponds in it's bed. h Living stones day the lake was 30 miles long and from 10 to 15 miles wide. At least it was thus shown on the map. Lake Ngami, also discovered by Livingstone, has since disap- peared. The cause of the changes appears to be a gradual drying up of bodies of water in Central Af- rica. It is not a process of sitting up of the bottom, like that which has recently affected the shore line of the Sea of Azof.

The blizzard Of Thursday worked
havoc with the train service on both
roads Thursday night and part Of Fri
day. On the st. Louis there was no
train run south of New Ulm from
Thursday noon to Friday noon. The
south bound due here at 9:3S arrived
at midnight and stopped in the local
yards until the following morning
when it turned and went north as the
early morning train.
On the Northwestern all the passen-
gers trains got through, but were al,
the way from one to nine hours late.
The train due at 12::43 a. m. Friday
morning arrived at 10 a. m. The
freight service on both roads was
practically paralyzed although an oc-
casional freight was able to buck its
way through the snow.
Both the Northwestern and the ST.

the elements and considering the drifts

KICKS ON CITIZENS BANK DEPOSIT
Representative Scores Block for Alleged Pavori
tism to New Ulm Institution.

Representative John G. Lund, of
Minneapolis declared before the Joint
committees on banks and banking, that
State Treasurer Block had been
playing favorites in depositing state
money with the banks, according to the
Minneapolis Journal. He cited the
fact that $4,000 has been deposited
with the Citizens Bank of New Ulm, a
private bank, while the state and ma
tional banks were cut out.
Mr.. Block explained that the banks
receiving state money are designated
by the board of deposit, consisting of
the auditor, secretary of state, attor-
ney general, treasurer and public ex-
aminer. AS to the New Ulm bank, it
is an institution with resources of over
100000, and the bond represents
over S3,OO0,O00.

COAL BILL LARGER THIS WINTER
Heating Of New Jail Makes Big Drain on Court.
house Coal Bin.

Brown county will have to pay this
year for about forty more tons of coal
than ever before, as the great furnace
in the basement of the courthouse will
eat up fully one hundred and twenty
tons before the winter is over. This
is largely because of the extra demand
made on the heating plant by the new
jail; but the Koch trial, which re-
quired that the building be kept warm
night and day, swelled the expense
account by ten tons.
Henry Rowles, the courthouse
janitor has always been proud Of the
fact that during the four years he has
been in his present position the county
has never burned over eighty tons in
the courthouse. Last winter. for in
stance, 100 tons of bituminous coal
were. purchased, but when firing was
left off late in May there was still
twenty tons remaining in the bins.
This year eighty tons we're pur
chased, making 100 in all, and of this
there is now left only enough to las
through this month. This is, of course
a necessary expense and there is nj
fault to be found with anybody. Tn,
new jail is large building and i
takes coal to keep it warm.
During the Koch trial the Jurors
worked and slept in the COURTEOUS,
and it was necessary to keep up a fir,
until midnight every night, wher
usually it is allowed to die down aftel
the officers leave for supper.

over TWO WILLS
Heirs of Peter Kiaer to Clash in
Probate Court.
Interesting Law Point as to Joint
and Mutual Wills.
After Wife's Death Kiaer Made
VIII Ingno1.ing Old Heirs.

An interesting question of law will
be raised before Judge of Probate S.
A. George on February End, when an
effort will be made by relatives of the
late Peter Kiaer of Home township and
Of his late wife to break the will which
he left on his death, the first day of
last January.
The suit turns upon the question
whether the remaining party is bound
by joint and mutual will after the
death of the other party, so that he
cannot make new will and violate
the provisions of the first one, and
upon the peculiar wording of the will
in question. The point will be vigor-
ously fought over by Hoidale & Som
sen for those who would break the
will, and by Somerville & Olsen on
behalf of the heirs named in Kiaer's
last testament
Peter Kiaer and his wife Mary were
old residents of town Home and they
had accumulated little property, not
much, but enough to keep them COM
fortably in their old age, by the ex-
ercise of economy and thrift. They
talked over the matter of wills and de-
cided that when one died they wanted
the other to have all the remaining
property as long as he Or she should
live, and then they wanted it to go to
certain heirs which they enumerated.
The will, what is known in law as a
joint and mutual one, was so made
out, the heirs named after the death of
both husband and wife being five
people related to the aged couple.
Mrs. Kiaer died the following year,
on May 18th, and the husband came
into possession under the terms of the
will of some 81, 800 in money and
property.
Not being able to take care of him
self, he went to live soon after his
wife's death with a neighbor named
Sofus Christensen and there he
made his home until his death last
January. .a
AS time went by it seems that the
aged man regretted the joint and mu-
tual will and resolved to make a new
one himself, and he did so on April
2, 1904. In this will he named as
his heirs people not related to him or
his deceased wife, and entirely ignored
the heirs designated in the joint and
mutual will, in this way violating his
obligations to which he bound himself
in the first instrument.
Now, upon his death, the heirs under
the old will are indignant and have
brought action to have the new will
broken and set aside
