Ref0rna0tory for Women.

FROM present indications it is likely that the
legislature will establish reformatory for women.
This is subject that has received considerable at
tention in this state during the past few years. The
lady members who attended the annual Conference
of the State Board of Charities and Correction, are
among those who ardently advocate that Minnesota
is in need Of such institution. These ladies ad-
vance many logical in defense of their cause.
In all probability the present legislature will make
ample provisions for the proper care of the female
Wards of the state. The necessity of such place
has been admitted, and all that now remains to be
done is for the Legislature to enact law providing
for such an establishment.

made of 5000, 900 bu, leaving net decrease OF

a year ago. Following this there was runaor
s that some wheat loaded out Of Minneapolis ele-
vators had not graded up to No. 1 northern as
expected. It was impossible to verify this.
but the talk Of it was insistent and 1t had some
strengthening effect. Five cars Canadian wheat

Two hundred cars was today's total. which, lined

BRITISH RAILWAYS IN 1903
Receipts Greater than at Any Time in
Preceding Fifteen Years.

From United States Consul General Ev-
ans at London.
The net receipts of the railways of
the United Kingdom were greater in
1903 than in any of the preceding fifteen
years, amounting to $211 1914 1896, and
this notwithstanding the fact that the
working expenses for the year were also
higher than during the years named.
The lines in England and Wales were, in
proportion to the gross receipts, the
most costly to work, and Scottish lines
the most economical. The ratios of ex-
penditure to gross receipts in 1889 and
1903 were as follows: English lines, So
and IS per cent; Scottish lines, 40 and
IS per cent; Irish lines, 81 and 81 per
cent.
The increase in the paid-up capital of
the combined railways in 1903 amount
ed to nearly $150,000,000, practically
the whole Of which was required by the
lines in England and Wales. The gross
receipts Of all lines increased by 81 ,0OO,-
900, nearly the whole of which was
earned by the English and Welsh lines,
whose length of lines open increased
! over 1902 by al miles, Scotch BY
eighty-four and Irish by fifty-six, the
| total increase being 28l miles. The mum
