The condition of the south bridge
between Fargo and Moorhead is such
that it has been condemned and will
be closed to all team traffic. The Far
go approach is a long wooden trestle,
which has been used many years and
efforts will be made to have it replac-
ed with steel structure. The bridges
are under control of the Cass county
commissioners. and the next meeting
of that body will be held the first of
the month.

children and complaint was made that
the father was ncglecting them, but
1t could not be proven in court.
Boys about fifteen years old are
playing hockey from school at Fargo

Protesting Against Rate Reduction.

Atlanta, Ga.-The recent PROPOSE
ton of ]. Pope Brown, Chairman of
the Georgia Railroad commission, to
reduce the passenger rate in Georgia
from three to two cents per mile was
protested against by the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, the Order
of Railway Conductors, and unions of
the blacksmiths, machinists and teleg.
.raphers, boilermakers, railway train
men, carpenters and joiners, clerks
and car men. These organizations EN-.
ployed an attorney especially to rep.
resent them, who urged that such
reduction would work against the
prosperity of the state and lead to a
reduction in the number of railroad
employees, as we'll as of their wages.
The Travellers Protective Association
also protested that reduction, as
proposed, would result in fewer trains
and poorer service.

The men, both farmers. were at a
store at Calmer. In the afternoon
they started to drive to Willow City
and stopped at farmhouse for sup.
per. While there they became involv.
ed in quarrel and decided to adjourn
to the open and fight it cut, followed
by several companions.
The men had Barely reached the
yard when both pulled revolyers and
the fusilade started. Several shots
were exchanged and tee witnesses to
the unexpected shooting sought cover
in all directions.
Clark was killed after the third shot
had been fired and Coldmayer was in.
1ured, one bullet imbedding itself in
his scalp, while another landed in his
leg. The scalp wound is not regarded
as serious, but the one in the leg -
dangerous. A doctor was summoned,
and the same messenger notified Sher.
if Douglas of the fatal shooting.
A deputy from Willow City arrested
Coldmayer. who was too badly in.
jured to make resistance, and he was
taken to Willow City, where he is un-
der the care of physician.
There were half dozen men in the
party drinking at Calmer, but so far
it has been impossible to determine
just what was the trouble. There was
no objection on the part of their com.
panions when Clark and Coldmayer
adjourned to the yard to fight it out
but none of the others had the remot-
est idea that pistols were to be the
weapons.

LET: Annapolis Early.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 3.-Prince
Louis of Battenberg, the members Of
his staff and the captains of his squad
r7n left this morning for Washington,
to pay their respects to President
Roosevelt. In the mean time the Off
GERS and men of the American squad
ION are doing their level best to en-
terrain the minor officers and the men
of the British squadron. The relations
between the visitors and their hosts
are extremely cordial and the utmost
good feeling prevails. Many of the
p, ointment citizens of this town have
opened their houses to the visitors and
there are many social functions on a
snail scale everywhere.
At the suggestion of Prof. N. M.
T'1ry, head of the department of phys
les and chemistry at the naval acad
emy the officers of the American
squadron have arranged a raccoon
hunt for, the entertainment of the
visiting officers. They nave enlisted
the services of Mr.. John Knadler,
who is known as one of the most sue
cessful raccoon hunters of this vicinity,
and he will be expected to guide the
party to the lair of the raccoon. The ex-
petition will start this evening, toward
dusk. Mr.. Knadler owns two very fine
coon dogs. The British officers are
very likely to find some sport, as it is
very rare that a party guided by Mr..
k.is dler returns empty handed. AS
coon hunting is a rather strenuous
sport it is probable that a number of
the officers who take part in the tramp
will not be able to attend the ball
which will be given in the Armory on
the following evening.

act of putting a gentleman Of means

STICKNEY AND, ROOSEVELT.


President Stickney of the Chicago
and Great Western, somehow reminds
one of the man who was SO straight
he tipped backward. A railroad presi-
dent, he is so anti-railroad that ne
has the appearance of being hostile.
From no other man has such scatning
schedule come as from Mr.. Stickney.
Nobody has punctured the balloon OF
expert rate making so savagely as he.
While politicians have doubted and
shippers have questioned whether the
president was right in demanding rail-
road legislation, Mr. Stickney has been
steadily by the presidents side, met
aphorically speaking.
Mr.. Stickney differs somewhat from
the president on several, matters. He
would not have the interstate commits
sion make rates, but would entrust
that duty ito a. board of arbitration,
leaving to the interstate commission
the duty Of searching out unreasonable
rates. The interstate commission
would thus become the prosecutor and
would serve neither as judge nor jury.
This is a matter of detail which could
cause no controversy between men who
were agreed upon the principle Of
government regulation of rates.
Mr.. Stickney also asserts the idea that
the arbitratorS should act as umpires
between railroads and should have the
power to raise rates as we'll as to
lower them. There is nothing wrong
about this idea, either, because it is
sometimes the arbitrary lowering of
the rate which works the mischief. The
railroad does it in order to build up a
concern with watch it has a secret
contract, or to injure competing line.
1t is just as necessary that competing
railroads should give each other a
should prevail between rival shippers.
But if Mr.. Stickney's idea that in ten
or twenty years there will be no COM
peting railroads is correct, this feature
of the square deal will take care of it
self. The last point that Mr.. Stickney
makes is the most important, that
whatever we are going to do about
the railroad question we should do it
now, because a time is coming when
all the railroads will be in one pool.
and it is proper that the status Of
transportation and the government re-
lations thereto should be settled be-
fore that condition prevents.

1t is quite likely that the emperor
met DR.. Butler as an educator, and

is. the emperor is too much for most

Yet President Butler did not get a
false view of the emperor for ne is
genuinely interested in education, es-
pecially technical education, in which
he sees the hope of Germany's future
industrial greatness. Germany's plan
for conquering the world is not like
that of the American, who aims to sue

than anybody else. The German the
DRY is that they will succeed finally by
doing things a little better than any

solid basis of technical education, anC
