County Schools.

The Windsor school house ihas been
closed, possibly for the winter.
The voters of the Pingree district
have decided to erect good school
there, and the directors are preparing
to build new $4,000 building.
The school ut Medina is growing
and third department has been added
to accommodate the pupils. Next year
It'll may be necessary to build an addi-
tion to the present school house at
that place.
Most of the schools of the county
are open and running with an increas-
ed attendance, as a rule. Supt. Wan
ner could find positions for about a
dozen teachers, the supply still being
short for the county by about that
number. JThere are more first grade
teachers employed than ever before.

DAMAGE Suit for Stock Loss.

Fargo, Dec. H. Papers were filed
by Attorney M. A. Hildreth in, U. S.
circuit court yesterday for suit for
$1,000 damages against the N: P. Ry.
for alleged injury to stock shipped
overIthat road from Richardton, Nd,
to Chicago last September. The plain
tiffs are R. Hurni of Sioux City, Iowa.,
and w. G. Waldron and Joseph Law
ler of Winnebago, MINI.
A shipment of l,0l9 sheep and 76
head of steers was made Sept. 5. 1t
is claimed by the plaintiffs that the
train was held in the yards at Fargo
tifty-two hours without the stock be-
ing unloaded, watered, rested and fed,
whereas the U. S. statute specifically
States that when shipments sof s5osk
are made the stock shall not be con-
fined more than ;twenty-eight hours
without being unloaded, watered, rest
ed and fed. A penalty is provided in
case of violation of the law of mot less
than $500. The plaintiffs claim that
by reason of shrinkage their loss en-
titles them to damages amounting to
SO, 600 and on account Of the delay in
reaching the Chicago market they are
entitled to $1,000 damages by reason
of the falling market in the interval.

TOO MUCH ROCKEFELLER.
Chicago University Professor Turned
Down by Trades Assembly.

Columbus, o., Dec. 14.-Consider-
able comment has been occasioned at
the action of the Columbus trades and
labor assembly in declining to accept
the services of professor of the Chi
cago university to deliver course of
lectures here under the auspices Of the
assembly. The assembly was asked to
pay a portion of the expenses Of the
professor and the assembly promptly
declined to receive the services of the
Chicago man. The reason given is
that the Chicago university has had
John D. Rockefeller as a benefacter
and it is almost entirely due to his
contributions that the university ewes
its extensiveness and high rank in the
educational world. One Of the dele
gates maintained that the professors
at the University of Chicago had to
teach and stand for the things that
were favored by the oil magnate and
when they ceased to do this their posi-
tions were jeopardized. In view of
this the proposition was turned down
and a committee consisting of Dele
gates Phelan, Houck and Little ap-
pointed to arrange for lectures, secur-
ing them from source above sus-

REBATE GRANTING CHARGED
CHICAGO AND ALTON RAILROAD
AND TWO FORMER OFF,
GALS INDICTED.

Chicago, Dec. 14.-The federal grand
Jury has returned indictments against
the Chicago and Alton Railroad COM
pany, John NJ. Faithorn, former vice
president of the company, and ]. A.
Wann, former general freight agent.
The railroad company and the two
ex-oficers are included in one indict-
ment, In which there are ten counts
against the company and against each
of the two men. The general charge
is that the railroad company, with the
sanction OF the two officers, paid H.
legal rebates to the packinghouse firm
Of Schwarzschild & sulzberger for the
purpose Of procuring shipments from
the concern, and also, with the same
object, gave free transportation to the
employees of the concern
The indictment which was returned
" based on testimony given to the
grand jury by B. S. Cusey, traffic
manager for Schwarzschild & Sulz-
berger, who has appeared before the
jury on two separate occasions. Cusey
was one of four employees of the pack
inghouse firm who we're indicted some
time ago for soliciting rebates. All of
them pleaded guilty and each was
fined $4,000 by Judge Humphrey.
Three specific violations Of the law
against the granting of rebates are
mentioned in the indictment. The
railroad cOmpanv in charged with hay-
ing refunded 81 per car on forty-four
cars of dressed beef shipped from
Kansas City to various Eastern points
in December, 1908. A similar rebate
II alleged to have been paid on twen-
ty-three cars of dressed beef shipped
from Kansas City in January, 1904.
The railroad company is also charged
with having refunded $4,000 in passen-
ger fares paid by the packing COM
pany between Jan. 1, 1903, and Sept.
/, 1904, for transportation of its off,
sers and agents.
