Meetings Will be Held in Man.

Chosen the First President.
Object Of the Organization is to
Promote Efficiency.
From THURSDAYS Daily.

From THURSDAYS Daily.
The division officials and local agents
of the Minnesota division of the Chi
cago and Northwestern road held a
meeting in Mankato last evening and
affected an organization, which will
probably be known as the Minnesota
Division Railway Agents association. c.
Van Camper of Rochester was elected
president, F. p Starr of Tracy, vice
president, and F. E. Flanagan of Wi
mona, secretary Mankato
was selected as the meeting point, being
most conveniently located for all, and
meetings will be held here once month
OF six weeks.
Seventeen attended the meeting last
evening All were seated at one table
at supper at the Saulpaugh, and the
meeting was subsequently held in par
lOr B. The agents got acquainted,
and a very pleasant feeling prevailed.
The routine work of their offices was
talked over, rules were interpreted, and
experiences were related. The object of
the meeting was to have a more uni
form Interpretation of the company's
rules by the agents, to the end that the
work of the division shall be executed
with as little friction as possible.
The division extends from Winona to
Watertown, S. d. Several of the agents
could not get away on account of sick
ness or for other causes. There was
[once before an organization of the
agents of the Minnesota and Dakota
divisions, and meetings were held at
Tracy and Huron. This association was
not maintained, however. The present
one has nothing to do with that.
Those who attended the meeting last
night were Division Superintendent w.

tendent +. O'Brien, Travelling Agent H.

SheriffS and Registers OF Deeds Will

The State Association of Sheriffs held
its annual meeting in st. Paul yester-
day. The following officers were elect
ed:
J. E. Lundgren, Alexandria, president;

ecutive session to consider the question
of framing a law to be laid before the

flee be increased to four years. The
provisions of the new code were also
discussed No definite action was taken,
but it is understood that the sheriffs will
cooperate with the county auditor and
registers of deeds to secure fouryear
term, and such other provisions as will
be deemed necessary for their mutual in
terests,. A committee consisting of
Sheriffs Baird of Moorhead, Palmer of
Anoka and Mcmillan of st. Peter was
appointed to take further action on the
code and see about proper legislation.

Whether City or Property Own
ers Must Pay for Paving.
The Court Will Determine This
Point in a Later Action.
Similar Case in st. Paul, Prop
erty Owners Assessed.

From Thursdays Daily.
The supreme court has denied the APP
plication of the Barber Asphalt company
for rehearing in the case of Lester
Patterson and others, respts., VS.. the
Barber Asphalt Paving company and
the city of Mankato, the Barber COM
pany appellant. At the same time it
gives the following opinion, which great
ly modifies that which it previously gave
out, when it held that the tax payers at
large would have to be assessed for
the Broad street paving if the Barber
company was to win:
"Our attention has been called in an
application for a re-argument of this
cause to the case of st. Paul VS.. Null
len, 81 MINI. IS, wherein it is held,
in effect, that although local improve
ment proceedings conducted by the city
of st. Paul were illegal, the municipal
authorities might, nevertheless, under
the provisions of the city charter, which
are similar to those in the charter of
Mankato, assess the cost and expense of
the improvement to abutting property.
The point is made that that case con-
trolls the one at bar and is conclusive
that plaintiffs, who were not owners of
property on the portion of the street
paved, are not entitled to maintain this
action as general tax payers. Whether
this position is sound should not be de-
| termined in the absence of the property
owners to be affected by such a result,
and we leave the question open. The
owners of the property abutting the por-
ton of the street paved are not parties
to this action. And as it does not APP
pear whether the cost of paving the
street intersections is to be borne by the
property owners, or the city, and as
the contract expressly exempts the prop
erty belonging to the city of Mankato,
plaintiffs as general tax payers have at
least the right to be heard upon the
question whether these items of expense
may be paid out of the general fund in
the city treasury, or by general levy
of taxes"

From Saturdays Daily.
Governor johnson has announced the
following appointments:
F. A. Edmunds, st. Paul, boiler in
spector.
Thomas NJ Coughlin, st. Paul, secre-
tary of dairy and food department.
DIR. Margaret Koch, Minneapolis, state
board of medical examiners.
A. c. Wedge, Albert Lea, state forestry

These selections partly dispose of a
board of officeseekers that have been
haunting the office of the executive for
the past week.
+. A. Edmunds is the first boiler in
spector to be named, and will Immediate
ly take the place of r. H. johnson.
Thomas Coughlin, of ST. Paul, who be-
comes secretary to the dairy and food
commission, has not yet received his
commission, but he will get it.
John j. Pontius, who was made dep
uty oil inspector, will have his duties
confined to Stearns and Benton coun-
ties. The rivalry for the job was I'M
usually keen, practically every leading
politician in Stearns county having a
man picked for the place. Pontius'
principal rival was j. A. Mcdonald, a
| former mayor of st. Cloud
Governor Johnson is now trying to de-
eide on a man for public examiner. He
said that he thought he would bring the
contest to close soon.

ADVOCATES WIDER POWER
G. r. Staples Calls on President Re-
garding Commerce Commission.
From, Thrrsdav'S DaiJv

G. r. Staples Calls on President Re-
garding Commerce Commission.
From Thursdays Daily.
Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Nelson
this morning introduced c.. F. Staples,
a member of the Minnesota railroad
commission, to President Roosevelt. Mr..
Staples is advocating wider power for
the interstate commerce commission, UNI
der section of the original interstate
commerce bill, which undertook to pro-
tect interior towns by the long and
short haul clause.
The section did not go far enough. Mr..
Staples does not indorse the proposed
commerce court, and believes that, SO
far as possible, the interstate commerce
commission should be given semi judicial
powers.
He believes that the commission
should be composed of men who are ex-
perts in railroad rate mtaters.
Congressman Manu. of Illinois, mem
Der of the committee, said that Mr.. Sta
pies views had impressed the commit
tee as much, if not more, than those of
any other man who had appeared before
the committee.
Arguments on the subject of govern
ment rate making for the railroads were
continued today before the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM
merce. When Mr.. Staples concluded his
statement, Mr.. Burke, of South Dako-
ia, stated that the morning papers gave
an account of opposition to Senator
Clapp of Minnesota, in the Minnesota
legislature, because he had not express.
ed himself soon enough in favor of the
Quarles Cooper bill, and asked:
Il want to ask you if you are in ia
vor of that bill?"
Stating that he had only seen the or.
iginal bill, Mr.. Staples answered by say
ing, in his opinion, it would accomplish
very little of what the public is clamor-
ing for today in the way of strengthen.
ing the hands of the interstate com
merce commission.
c. c. McCord, a member of the Ken
lucky railroad commission, followed Mr.
Staples. He also emphasized the neces-
sity for legislation for extended govern
ment control of rates. Such legislation
was clearly within the constitutional
authority of congress; was necessary
and feasible?

DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Boy Fooled With An Old Musket and
Is Shot.


Thursday evening when Phillip Har-
mel, aged nine and Adolph Ashley (col-
ored) aged eight years were returning
from school at Dundas they met Ed
Sanford with an old musket and follow
ed him to the "fats" below the village
to see him shoot mark.
The old fire arm was muzzle loader
of ancient manufacture and upon first
trial failed to discharge. A new pre-
cussion cap was applied and in letting
down the hammer the charge was ex-
ploded in the left breast of the Ashley
boy at a distance of nine feet, killing
him instantly.
Coroner Ray was summoned and after
holding an investigation decided that an
inquest was unnecessary and that the
cause of the boys death was purely ac-
cidental

Gross Discrimination.

From Saturdays Daily.
The freight per ton on coal from Du-
luth to st. Paul is $l.OO, while to Man
Slato it is 1882. This is one of the bones
of contention of the Minnesota Munich
pal and and Commercial League. 1t
shows there is gross discrimination
against smaller towns and the rail
road commission should have power to
equalize the rates. Some think it has
the power, but does not care to exercise
it. 1t may be even so.-Canby News.
