tally, as the falling off in population
throughout this section has been slight.
In the second district the decrease, ac-
cording to the census figures, is but
3lS. In Blue Earth county the cut
amounts to l,035, leaving it popula-
ton of 3l,22S. This county had three
representatives in the legislature when
the number of people in the county was
much less, and The Free Press can see
no reason why the present representa-
ton in the making body should be
lessened now.

FIRE IN A JACKSON STORE.
Prompt Work of Firemen Prevents a
Serious Loss.

jackson, Aug. 29-Fire broke out OH
the second floor of the NJ. b. Hutchin-
son building, which is occupied down
stairs by the Boston Department store.
BY the prompt action of the fremen the
damage to the building was held to
about $500. None of the merchandise
was burned, but it was partly spoiled
by water. All the goods were removed
from the store and the damage to stock
is difficult to estimate.

From Mondays Daily.
H. r. Kurth last night replevined two
carloads of western horses, which he
bought in Oregon, and which one John
Spain of Union City, Oregon, had at
tached because of some claim that he
said he had. Mr.. Kurth secured the
services of Judge Comstock, and when
the train arrived at about midnight last
night Sheriff Williams had the two cars
sidetracked and unloaded them into
stockyard, where he now has possession
of the horses. Mr.. Kurth has a receipt
in full for the horses.
Mr.. Spain's claim is sellers lien.

Some Disappointing Figures.

AIinnesota's census figures are some
what disappointing. They show that the
population of the state has made no
great gain during the five years from
1900 to 1905. The increase was 22S'4lo'
The st. Paul Pioneer Press, commenting
on these figures, says that dlsappolht
mo feature is that it is difficult to
make out any considerable net gain by
Immigration. ION the basis of the federal
census of 1900 the average annual excess
of births over deaths of the mean popu-
lation between 1890 and 1900 was 26.2
per thousand Taking the census hg-
ures of of 1900. l,75l 900, as the popu-
lation basis there should have been at
this rate natural increase of 45,SI6
persons a year, or a total increase OF
229 $50 in the five years. While tins
calculation is only approximate, we must
concede either a diminished excess OF
births over deaths, which we do not
care to do and need not do, or dimin-
ished net immigration movement
Minnesota has hidden its light under
a parsimonious policy of the legislature
in not making adequate provision for
advertising the states varied resources.
Why. it is fact that hundreds of peo-
pie living within its borders do not re-
L. - ,rodnoo5 from, tha soil and
the mines They are not aware of the
fact that if called upon to do so Mime
sofa farmers could feed the world, so
productive is the soil and the vineyards
and the orchards, not to mention the
diaries. the creameries and the cheese
factories. The northern part of the
state is vast empire in itself and from
the bowels of the earth are produced
the iron ore which goes into the manu-
facture of steel and out of this are
constructed battle ships, the sky-scrap-
ers in the cities, besides the many artl-
cles of daily use in the worlds house
holds. Were Minnesota to be shut off
from the balance of the United States,
it could still live i'll luxury. 1t need
not depend on any state for sustenance.
The Free Press agrees with the SEN
timents expressed by The Pioneer Press
in the following paragraph:
1T is no disgrace to the state OF
Minnesota that it has not grown more;
it is a disgrace to its population The
state is what it always has been; I'm
surpassed in variety and elements OF
resources and all the other elements
that 90 to make a state attractive by
no state in the Union. The simple fact
is that the people of Minnesota, those
interested in its advancement, have neg
lected to sound its praises and to put
forth that well directed and systemat-
ic effort which in these days is needed
to meet the energetic efforts of other
states. There should be no more neg
passive acceptance of new population.
Circumstances and methods have chang
ed, and it would be a shame to let the
steady stream of settlers that pours
through st. Paul seeking homes be-
yond pass by without single effort to
let them know of the wide and fertile
reaches of unoccupied and cheap land
that Minnesota has to offer"
No doubt the result of the census
will awaken the people of Minnesota to
a sense of what their duty should be
to the state during the five years to
come.

Whereas, Our Heavenly Father
in his infinite wisdom, has removed
from our midst our esteemed associ-

we'll, we mourn because of our great
loss, and can only be comforted by
the divine promise, "Though he be
dead yet shall he live again.
Resolved, that our brother, Willis
IL. Boydston, was known among men
as that noblest work of God-an
honest man. who commanded the re-
spect and esteem of all who knew him.

EXPRESS CHARGES.

The answer of the express company
to the petition presented by the pub
lie of jackson asking for reduction
OF rates between lone and jackson
will be found in another column. 1t
will be seen, while the company has
made CONCESSIONS on certain perish
able goods, no general cutdown is
made. The blame is placed on the
lone and Eastern railroad, and their
excuse is alleged to be that they have
to keep up not only the railroad but
also the stage line from Martell's to
jackson. If this be the only excuse
for the existing exherbitant rates, it
is very lame one. We can readily
understand that the express company
cannot afford to reduce rates if they
are held up for unreasonable demands
by the railroad authorities. They
represent they are anxious to cut
the present schedule, but that the
railroad is not yet willing to nnder-
take the task of reforming the
schedule.
Aside from the express matter, it
is very evident that the railroad com
pany will have to come down from
its present high tariff on small par
GELS, otherwise they can hardly expect
to hold the business. Heretofore,
these small packages have been haul
ed by teams and the merchants charg-
ed at the ton rate. The railroad, it
is said, makes separate charge for
each package, at package rates, which
are several times greater than the ton
rate. No such system can hold the
business. Some of the merchants are
already preparing to have freight
hauled from lone, and if there is any
saving to be made by so doing 1t is
only a question of time when pretty
we'll all will return to the old system

were beyond salvation before their

they succeeded in doing. The night

commented upon last week, we may
say that in conversation with the
sheriff and district attorney, both
officials assert that they are working,
and have worked all through the
Lancha Plana cases. in perfect har-
mony, and that all statements tend

are without any foundation in fact.

tion. The Ledger has not intimated
to the contrary. The prosecution of
crime cannot be conducted on any
other basis than the harmonious CO.

The fact that our contemporary pup

however still calls for an explanation,

denials of officers concerned.
