WARS End WILL
BRING GRAIN HERE
STOPPING OF RATE CUTTING
HELPS MINNEAPOLIS.
More Corn Probably Will Come to This
City and Fear of the Fight Spreading
to Western Roads Is Dispelled- Bust
ness in Cash Grain Will Be Stimu-
lated

Settlement of the rate war, which ap-
pears. to have been effected at the meet
ing in Chicago yesterday, will be a
good thing for Minneapolis. Altho not
directly concerned in the fight for bust
ness between the Atlantic seaboard
and the gulf ports, that started the de-
morallzation, Minneapolis has suffered
somewhat from the general disturbance.
Restoration of rates to the former
basis will make for greater confidence
H. in their stability, and the fear, that
spread thru the entire western rail
road field is already dispelled.
E. S. Woodworth, president Of the
Chamber of Commerce. says the adjust.
ment of the differences between the
warning roads will stimulate business
in cash grain, in a general way. Many
shippers of corn and other grain have
certainties of the situation, and buy.
ers have felt the same.
Restoration of rates to the old
basis would mean II cents on corn from
Kansas City to the gulf and 10 cents
from Omaha. From Omaha the rates to
the Atlantic seaboard would be 221h
cents to Baltimore via Chicago, and "a
cents to New York, Missouri river
rates to st. Louis, s cents and to Chi
cagO IL cents.
The effect should be to turn more corn
to Minneapolis. While the rate wal
was on, no shipper south or southwest
of here was sure Of his ground anC
rates were cut so low that some corr
went south and east that would other
wise come here.
Minneapolis was not directly repre-
sented at the meeting, which was rail

DRIVERS DEATH.
OSCAR NELSON VICTIM OF RUN
AWAY ACCIDENT.
Terrified Spectators, Halted by Run
away, Saw the Unfortunate Man
Fall from the Seat Of the Wagon to
Be Crushed to Death Beneath the
Heavy Wheels.

A Mortified group Of pedestrians were
halted at Twelfth avenue S and Wash
ington at noon today while tkey help
lessly watched Oscar Nelson ride to his
death.
AS the runaway team crossed the
Washington avenue streetcar tracks,
Nelson was thrown from his seat. The
heavy wheels of a woodcart passed over
him. He died ten minutes later.
Nelson was employed as driver by
the Nicollet Avenue Fuel company, and
was delivering wood in South Mime
apolis this morning. At Twelfth avenue
S and Third street his team became
frightened and bolted. Nelson climbed
into the seat and tried to stop them as
they ran east on Twelfth avenue, but
was unable to do so. He held the reins
tightly and guided the horses safely
past several vehicles on Twelfth ave-
nue.. The jolting of the wagon as it
struck the street car tracks unseated
him, and he fell to his death.
Nelson struck the ground directly
before the front wheel Of the cart. The
wheels passed over his chest, crush
ing him. The rear wheels mangled one
Of his legs. ...
The team was stopped near Second
street. Several persons ran to Mel
sons assistance. He was picked up
and carried into Eastburg's saloon,
The South Side patrol wagon took him
to the city hospital, but he died when
the wagon was two blocks from the
scene.
Nelson was about "a years old and
single. His parents live in Kandiyohi
county. a''t

FRESHMEN HAVE THE
S0PHOM0RES GUESSING

Guerilla warfare between freshmen
and sophomores at the university
breaks out occasionally. Altho the
classes are ostensibly at peace, certain
members never miss chance to stir up
conflict.
After threatening to boycott the
sophomore party next Monday, the
freshmen hav resorted to cleverly
planned compaign ofmosquito tactics in
the hopes Of spelling the function. Mem
bersof the sophomore committee .plac-
arded the campus yesterday with large
glaring advertisements of the party.
Within an hour every sign had been
carefully removed by freshmen.
It is not probable that any repeti-
tion of last years famous underclass
fight will occur at the dance. AS a
precaution, certain sophomores who
would rather fight than dance will be
stationed at stragetic points around the
armory, armed with frehose as a de-
tense against any 'OS onslaught.

GLAD TO MOVE
Vagrant Rejoiced to Escape Five-Month
Imprisonment.

Thomas Mccormack, in police court
on a charge of vagrancy this morning,
was a happy man when Judge E. r:
Waite suspended sentence and allowed
him to leave the city. He was arrested
last night by Special Officer Gonyea
and pleaded guilty. Judge Waite sen
fenced him to the workhouse for sixty
DAYS with three-day stay of sentence
Immediately afterward Judge Waite
was informed that Mccormack escaped
said that he had given Mccormack a
chance to leave the city and refused
to change the sentence.
IF Mccormack had been arrested as
an escaped prisoner, he would have had
to serve thirty days Of his unexpired
term, twice as long for escaping and
sixty days on the present vagrancy
charge, making $50 days in all.
