Col. U. p. Hord Secures Franchise
From Excelsior Council.
From Mondays Daily.
The Excelsior village council met Sat.
urday evening and granted an exclusive
electric railway franchise to a company
headed by U. P. Hord of Philadelphia
F. E. Kenaston and Judge Robert Jami-
son of Minneapolis. 4t g
F. E. Kenaston, who, it is thought
is acting in the capacity of attorney for
the company, appeared before the coun-
Gil ten days ago and asked for an ex.
elusive right to run electric cars within
the village boundaries. 1t is thought
that the company is contemplating the
building of road from Minneapolis to
Mankato, which is to be known as
the Minneapolis -Mankato electric rail
way, and will pass through the village
of Excelsior, which is about twenty
miles from Minneapolis, on the shore of
Lake Minnetonka. w. j. Held, general
manager of the Twin City, Rapid Tran
sit company, appeared before the coun-
ell and asked continuance, but his re-
quest was denied. 49,. .s,.afs $50.

ANN 0OOla.

Rates in the northern part of Minnesota
are somewhat higher than those in force
in the southern part of the state, max
ing the difference, therefore, between the
Iowa rates and the northern Minnesota
rates that much greater, and the over
charge proportionately larger on ship
ments in that portion of the state.'
Messrs. Currier and Hughes each ad-
dressed the joint committee orally, the
former upon general merchandise rates
and the latter upon wood rates. 1t
was conceded by all present that they
made strong presentation of the case.
Thomas Wilson was present for the
Omaha road, and said that he had not
known what the nature of the charges
would be, and he wished for time to
make reply. This was granted.

HAD A SPELLING BEE.
Blue Earth Folk Have a Right Royal
Good Time.

Blue Earth, Feb. 4.--Mrs. Melva
Bowles, daughter of Rev. II. c. Cheadle,
covered herself with glory last evening
as the photographic champion, at an
old fashioned spelling match thlt took
place in the school auditorium. 1t
seemed as if all the active spirits in the
town had turned out to see the fun, for
the affair was drawing card for a
crowd, which fairly packed the hall.
Attorney ]. L. Higgins and Judge j. w.
Vance We're the two leaders, who chose
up sides, each selecting thirty-two,
whoni he deemed the best spoilers he
could secure. Superintendent A. c. Tib-
belts pronounced the words, while two
school teachers, Misses Sumner and
Bartlett, whose profession was made a
bar not only to themselves, but their
pupils from taking part in the con-
test, acted as referees. After few
pieces of music by the Blue Earth Man
dolin club, the fun commenced. The
spelling bee lasted nearly three hours.
One spelling book was exhausted and
another taken up. The excellent spell
ing of the older people was a source of
general surprise. Mrs. Bowles' excel
lent memory for letters and their order
gave the victory to Judge Vance's side.

DISCOURAGE TALK OF PEACE.
Officials in Favor Of War But Russian
People Despair of Victory.

g.. Petersburg, Feb. S.-The renewed
peace talk resulting from the visit of
Ambassador Cassini and Minister

Washington and the conferences of
Ambassador Erand and Mr. Spring.
Rice, first secr'tary of the British am
bassy at st. Petersburg, with the presi-
dent on Sunday, finds not the slightest
Stho in official and diplomatic circle
at ST. Petersburg, where Emperos
Nicholas oft repeated declaration that
the war must be carried to a satisfac.
tory conclusion remains the keynote
of the situation. Considerable salts
faction is felt at the Washington tele-
gram stating that assurances have
been given by Ambassador Cassini
that Sir Mortimer Durand's and Mr..
Spring -Rice's presence at the White
House was in no way connected with
the termination of the war The yis-
Its of Count Cassini and Minister Ia

that Japan and Russia would choose
France rather than the United States
when the time arrives to discuss terms
of peace. II is difficult if not impossi-
BILE to tell when that time will come.
The present trend of public and
press opinion in Russia appears to be
setting in favor of peace. The news
papers no longer proclaim the necessi-
ty of continuing the war at all costs.

marks:

Special Importance is placed on the
mission entrusted to NJ. Admisabasa,

mise with Japan without material
prejudice to Russia's interests.

Fifteen Missing and Small Hope
Is Entertained of Them.
Captain and Fourteen Others
Supposed toHave Perished
Thirty-Four Persons Aboard,
Four Were Passengers.

Halifax, NJ S., Feb. S.-During a
Meing gale and binding snow storm,
which has swept the Nova Scotia coast
for the past Nenty-four hours, the
ocean steamer Damara of the Furness
line ran on the rocks at Musquodoboit,
thirty miles east of Halifax, early
Tuesday and is believed to have found
cred with the loss of many lives.
The first officer of the ship, with
eighteen of the crew, escaped in one
of the lifeboats and landed at Pleasant
Point, after a terrific struggle with
wind and sea. Captain Gorst, master
of the Damara, four passengers and
the rest of the steamers crew left the
vessel in another lifeboat. They have
not been heard of since and it is
feared that they have perished. The
occupants of the boat which reached
shore were utterly exhausted and
many of them were badly frost-bitten.
They had narrowing experience. bat

open boat against tempestuous seas

at MusQuodoboit harbor Tuesday even
ing, whence they wired the first news
of the disaster to the agents of the
Furness line at Halifax, to which port
the Damara was bound.
Ship Struck During Blizzard.
The survivors say that the steamer
struck about 2 a. m. when the blizzard
was so thick that it was impossible to
see a ships length ahead, on what
proved to be MusQuodoboit ledge, five
miles from the mainland.
An immense hole, through which
the sea poured in torrents, was
smashed in the bow of the steamer.
Huge breakers swept the vessel fore
and aft. Lifeboats Immediately were
ordered over the side and all hands
left the ship. ltIfat @
IT is believed that the steamer must
have foundered quickly and small hope
is entertained for the safety of the
captain and other occupants of the
missing lifeboat. $500
The wind is off shore and If the
missing boat has not already swamped
it has been driven seaward many
miles and is now probably adrift on
the Atlantic in the worst weather of
the season.
Tugs We're dispatched from this
harbor to search for the boat and to
locate the hull of the Damara.
The Damara left Liverpool on Jan.
"a for Halifax, by way of st. Johns, N.
F., and left st. Johns for this port last
Saturday.
The names of the survivors can not
be learned, but all of the crew were
shipped in England.
There were thirty-four persons
aboard. of whom four were passengers.
The captain and fourteen persons are
missing.

Mark L. WiIdes Is Entitled to the Blue
Ribbon


Mark L. Wildes of Lake Wilta has
had singular luck in his cattle raising.
During the past five years, twin calves
have been born on his place three times.
The first pair were heifers, which came
into the world five years ago. Later
came bull calf and heifer, twin
brother and sister. Still later was
born third pair of twins, two bull
calves. The twin sisters born five years
ago are now elegant looking cows, each
weighing between 1900 and 1900 pounds,

little first cousin calves were born on

1t is something to be thankful for that
Roosevelt, as Washington and other
Presidents have done before, sets an
example by his recognition of the duty
of man to worship God In a day OF
lax Sunday observance those IN posi-
tons of official trust should, by ex-
ample, further the observance OF days
and customs which tend to restrain
men. by constantly reminding them that
man has relationship with God as
we'll as with the material universe.
The dav will come when men and
women will learn again, as they have
learned in ages past through their own
losses and periodic social degeneration,
that their children deprived of the up
lifting and restraining influences which
moulded their own characters, are IN
danger of gaining a view of life III
which there is nothing higher than their
own pleasure or gain. One thing IS
certain and that is that one should
impress upon the mind and heart OF
youth exalted ideals and eternal truths
If. life Is TO be lived on a high plane,
Such life will not come from 1nd1t-
ference or neglect OF God. but by BRING
ING the soul face to face with God ana
truth. In no way can this be so surely
brought about and made continuous
living influence as by 3 use OF the Lord
dav as ono on which a soul goes to
meet his father in his father house
striving 10 know what the father would
have him do.
Apart from religion the social aspects
