Mr.. President, Honorable Judges,
La lies and Gentlemen:
We, the negative, are of the
opinion that the Interstate Com
merce Commission should not be
given the power to fix railroad
rates. We believe that the pro-
posed law would be drastic and
dangerous, for the reason that it
would give the Commission too
much power. The Commission is
a small body OF men; it could Re
influenced, more easily Influenced
than could larger body. One in"
fluential member on such board
might do much toward the destruc-
ton of the commerce of this mighty
commonwealth. 1t would take no
great stretch of imagination to pic
ture the membership of this COM
mittee, consisting largely of rail-
road men, interested personally in
the aggrandizement of the rail
roads. The present chairman OF
the Senate Committee on Inter
state Commerce is a man of large
corporate interests.

FEAR OF RUST HAUNTs FAR1ERs
Well Developed Spores Found in
Great Quantities on Bar
berry Bushes.

Fargo, N. D., June 14.-The fear
OF rust again haunts the fasmers of
this state, and apparently the alarm
is not unfounded. The spores are
found IN great quantities on the bar
berry bushes at a more advanced
stage than usual, and fully a month
earlier than seen last year.
Professor Bolley of North Dakota
Agriculture college has been investi-
eating the situation and finds the
spores well developed.
With favorable weather for rust,
which means wet. muggy, cloudy
days, the rust will spread like wild
fire. These conditions have prevailed
for some time.
With dry, clear weather and wind,
the rust will not spread and no dan
ger is felt. The professor doesn't
wish to alarm the farmers needlessly
over the situation and says everything
depends on the weather.
Many in this city have been grow
ing barberry bushes as hedges. The
custom prevails in Minnesota, South
Dakota. and other sections, where
the barberry plant is not native. So
far the Investigations have found that
wheat rust propagates on no other
plant than barberry bushes. If it is
clearly established that they are
right III that respect the farmers Of
the wheat-growing region of the I'm
tied States will be insistent upon the
destination of the plant.
Tests at the local experiment sta.
ton here show that wheat, oats and
flax are infected from the barberry
plant. and that the barborry can in
turn be infected by spores from old
wheat straw.-Minnespolis Journal.

Plague of Rats.

From all over Southern Minnesota
comes a cry that rats are causing
great destruction. Every farm is
overrun with them. In the cities
like Albert Lea and Austin almost
every house is infested with them.
Poison and traps are practically use
less. The rodents are of the most
astute breed and scent danger afar.
Cats make little inroads on the
hordes that are constantly increasing.
The cause is not hard to trace. The
balance in nature has been upset
We're this part of the country to re-
vert to the care of nature again the
balance would soon be restored. In
fact nature is trying to restore the
balance but men oppose her efforts.
So finely adjusted are natures bal
ances that man cannot disarrange
them without paying the penalty. Man
seems able to grasp but one idea at
a time. He sees a hauk lowering
over his farm and he goes into de-
lirium and the bird is killed. The
owl flying low across the meadow
again calls for gun. The harmless
snake crawling across the road never
escapes If the thoughtless can secure
club in time. The owl and the
hawk and snake are enemies of the
rodent family. In the great circle OF
nature it is their province to keep
down to minimum the race of rod
ents. "The hawk and the owl talk
chicken" There is but one kind of
hawk of the several kinds in this
state ever touches a chicken, the rest
living entirely upon rats, mice and
gophers. A man will kill a hawk or
an owl, that is his friend for fear it
might take a chicken in season and
so destroy the only means OF getting
rid of pest that will destroy brood

MAIL ORDER GRAFTERS.
A Recipe for Putting Them Out of
Business Promptly.

Merchants, by spending little ex-
ira money in patroning the news
papers can do more toward putting
the mail order graf;ers out of bust.
ness than by any other course, says
the Mortified News. Advertise in
the newspapers what you can do for
a little money. impress it upon the
people of your town and country,
and it will not be long before the
patronage going out Of your city
every day will be changed SO that it
will flow into your channel. 1t can
not be done in day or a week or a
month, bat by everlastingly keeping
at it, success is assured. Merchants
who have made a specially of meet
ing the prices of the mail order
houses declare they can save their
customers money and make fair
profit.

A GAME OF ERRORS.
But Herman Walks off With the
Winning Score.

The local ball team played game
with the Herman ball tossers on the
Herman grounds Thursday, and
received their second defeat of the
season by the score of 4 to 5
Such close score would indicate
fast game of ball, but when one
considers the fact that not an earned
run Was made by either side, ne
NAV readily conclude that the con-
test was marred by some bad errors.
Such was the case. Several players
on both sides seemed to have con-
siderable trouble with their arms,
winging the ball high over first, into
the bleachers, over the back stop, and
in fact all over the lot. Two or three
times the felders dropted easy flys.
and allowed men to get to first.
There was some excuse for the wild
throwing, for the ground was muddy.
After a couple innings of play
the ball became hard to handle.
| Furthermore the cold weather
necessittaed a long warming up,
before the game, which the
Morris boys in particular did not get,
owing to the lateness of their train.
They were compelled to get right
into the game as soon as they "hit"
town with a very short pratcise.
Consequently they went into the
play stiff and chilly, finding it easier
to throw the small sphere into the
screen, used as back stop, rather
than in the catchers mitt.
Altho there were some bad errors,
on the other hand there was some
very good ball playing. Horrigsn at
first for Morris played star game.
He handled fourteen chances without
a skip. Many of them vera lowthrows,
difficult to get, but Dan was right
there every time. O'MaIley also
played an erroless game, accepting
four chances. Socket for Herman
made two beautiful catches of line
drives, one of them cut off what
seemed to be clean single bv Jones.
Jones sent low fly just back of
second. It looked good but Socket
thought otherwise. He came in
from center, catching the ball about
foot from the ground after long
sprint. It was good catch aud the
"little fellow" deserved the thunder
ing applause which burst forth from
the assembled multitude.
Morris had little the best of the
"winging" contest up to the eighth,
the score standing 4 to 3 in their
favor up to that time, but in that
inning Herman sent two men over
the rubber and won the game.
Bradford, after Stair had gone out,
deliberately ran into Horrigan as he
was trying to receive the throw, caus-
ing Dan to miss the throw, getting
the ball far enough from the
scene of action to allow the gentle.
man from Herman to reach third.
It was clear case of Intentionally
with the fielder in his
ia field the ball, on the part
of Bradford and he should have
been called out, but the Jumps"
didn't see it that way. Socket was
then passed, and he stole second.
Both Bradford and Socket scored on
Anderson's single to center. Wilson
ard Mcdonnell both went out, and
he side retired. Morris failed to do
any thing in the ninth, and the
final score remained 5 to 4 in favor
Of Herman.

GROCERY VS.. DRY. GOODS
How the Enthusiast Viewed the
Game.

One of the most exciting games
ever witnessed on the local diamond
was played Monday evening, be-
tween the Grocery Clerks and the
Dry Goods Clerks of this city. The
score stood s to 3 at the end of
seven innings of the hardest play
that has ever been seen in this part of
the state. The Grocers started right
in in the fist inning. Two hits com
bined with two costly errors re-
suited in three runs for the Grocers.
In the fifth, two more hits combined
with couple of misplays resulted in
another run for the Grocers which
practically won the game. Ole
Olson, who did the slab work for the
Dry Good Sellers was hit freely,
while LIE Sage, who performed for
the Grocers had his opponents at his
mercy thruout.
Following is the score:

Ills Throat with Pocket knife.
Shortly after 2 o'clock yesterday
uorning, a man who registered as
geo. y. Carrels, of Wabasha Mimi,
attempted suicide by stabbing into
MS throat with pocket knife. He
was unsuccessful. and is now in the
custody of Sheriff Delahunt, as he is
somewhat demented and resisted
Efforts to save his life.
The man drifted into town on
Wednesday, registered at the Mer-
chants Hotel, where he went to bed
and slept till late Thursday forenoon
he then got dinner, and during the
afternoon was about town, every
where attracting the attention of
those with whom he conversed.
The man is unbalanced mentally
there can be no doubt, tho the mani
festations Of insanity did not take
any serious form until his attempt
OF his own life later.
At the Merchants Hotel, he object
ed to receiving two quarers in change,
as he wanted ''good money, but was
satisfied with dimes and uickels. At
one of the saloons, he came in and
asked for glass of water, and after
looking at it in silence, turned and
walked away without drinking it.
To the officer, he explained that he
was not tramp, but had money, and
was bound for Montana. He gave
as the reason that he stopped off
here, that he chad heard there was no
law here"
After the attempted suicide, he was
first seen in the hall of the Merchants
Hotel. where he was still trying to
cut his throat, tho the blood was flow
ing fast then. After he became weak
thru loss of blood, the knife was taken
from him, and soon after Drs. HUI
burd and Leuty arrived and dressed
the wounds. 1t is found that while
the cuts on his throat are severe, they
are not serious. He severed some OF
the smaller veins. bst missed the Jug
ular artery, and only pierced the
pharynx in one place. The cuts we're
made by stsbbing with small peck
ct knife. From the blood stains on
the sidewalk, it is evident that he
first began the assault on himself on
the stree: in front OF Sundays saloon
and walked from there to the Mer-
chants where he was found. AS soon
as his wounds were dressed, he was
taken to the county Jail, where ne
could both be taken care of and at
the same time be prevented from do
ing injury to himself.
Sheriff Delahunt was conTersing
with Wabasha over the phone yester-
day, and finds that Carols belongs
to good family there, that ne IS
married, aud about thirty-fve years
of age. He has not had any family
or financial troubles, and his friends
are at less to account for his despon-
dency. His brother, John Carols,
who runs store there, left for Nor
ris on the first train and arrived this
morning.

The sight that met the gaze as they entered the brilliantly lighted room was one to please and captivate both eye and fancy.

probably the Starview avenue man didn't know anything about that. Mr Wade said he realized Mir Tubbs' pre-. dicament and would like to help hin, and everybody else on the outside who is paying taxes and receiving very little in return for them. He also re. minded Mir Tubbs that if the assessors are assessing his property as high as high as fhey would if it wero located on West Main street, and he thinks that is not right. he can seek redress in the courts. This amused Mir Tubbs. and although he was somewhat taken back at the way his petition had been tossed from one place to another for years. still he couldn't help laughing at the idea of going to law with the as sessors.
