.BADER MURDERER

now locked up, and the only thing IS
to get the other man, who is believed
to be in hiding somewhere in the CITY.
According to the attorney who afhrms
the rumor, the man now locked up is
we'll known by one Of the attorney 8
clients, whom he has been engaged to
defend against an action in the dis
trict court. This client knew the men
them talking of it. The large reward
offered by the city and state, looked
good to him, and he gave to one Of the
detectives the names of the men. They
went as directed and arrested one OF
the men and locked him up at one OF
the stations.
Police officers seen today professed
admitting that it might have been
made without their knowledge. The
name of the man, suspected is not en-

ICE IN SLABS

The fine Italian weather which has
brought joy to the florists and boosted
the price Of gum shoes, has been any
thing but good to the iceman. The ice
houses are ready and the ice-cutting
apparatus has been overhauled and put
in readiness for instant service, but
the opening Of the harvest still de-
lays. s-e,4.e <
The least ice which any of the local
companies will cut is fourteen inches,
while many set their minimum limit at
sixteen inches. So far, thirteen inches
at Cedar and Calhoun, and fourteen
inches at Twin lake are the best re-
ported The ice-cutting season usually
opens about the middle of December,
but this winter has been an exception,
and few, if any, Of the companies are
cutting and storing. IT,
If the weather does not get colder
it will be necessary to put up a guam
tity Of thin ice and next summer slabs
instead of blocks will be the prevailing
style. This will result in considerable
Inconvenience, as the ordinary icsbox
is constructed with the idea Of accom-
modating nearly perfect cube of ice.

FARMERS FLOCKING IN
Many Are Selling Their Farms in lowe
and Moving. o..

"People are still pouring into the
Canadian northwest by the thousand, .,
said N. Mckay Of Regina, Can, at the
Hotel Nicollet today. "And vast
number Of these are from Iowa..
"The reason is very simple when you
give the matter little thought. Iowa
farmers can sell their land readily for
$25 to $50 an acre. Then they can
come up into Canada and buy land
every bit as good for $40 to $19 an acre
let us say $l2 an acre on the aver
age-and be just so much ahead. The
day of the homesteader in Canada is
going by. The best homesteads have
long since been taken up. Those pour
ing into Canada are class who have
money to invest in good farms at a low
figure in comparison with the land they
get. With the coming Of spring we
all expect to see a great army Of people
enter the Canadian northwest from the
United States. What Canada needs
now is further development of the rail-
roads to furnish transportation facili-
ties for the business created by the
thousands of new settlers. Railroads
are bound to do extensive building
within the next few years and North
west Canada will become the greatest
grain-producing area in the world.''

BRIDE VANS HE'S
ON WEDDING EYE
MISS ANNA McNAUGHToN ABB
QUOTED, IT rs THOUGHT.
Wedding Was to Have Taken Place
Last Night, but Bride Has Not Been
Seen Since Last Sunday The Bride
Elects Relatives Opposed the Match.

Friends of Miss Anna McNaughton,
and particularly her afiianced husband,
Edwin Marks, are worried over her dis
appearance and openly charge that she
has BEEN abducted. Her relatives OPP
posed her marriage to Mr.. Marks. The
wedding was to have taken place last
evening at the parsonage Of the Presby-
terrain church on Twenty avenue
NE, Miss MeNaughton has not been
seen by her distracted lover or her
friends since last Sunday.
For several weeks, owing to trouble
with her relatives over her coming mar
riage, she has been stopping with the
family of Mr.. Gollum, out on Central
avenue, few miles beyond the city
limits Her brothers and other mem
bers Of the family live at the Higgins ,
farm on the Silver Lake road. Z
Last Sunday evening Miss Kate Nc
Naughton, a sister, called at the Nc
Collum place and asked Anna to take
drive. Anna complied and that is
the last seen of her. Marks is desper-
ate, for he is, certain that his bride to
be is forcibly restrained somewhere,
and unless the girl is produced will
invoke the aid of the law. .-..1r

CONSIDER RATES
ON MERCHANDISE
TRAFFIC MEN CITED TO MEET
WITH STATE COMMISSION.
Reduction Of Rate Schedules Will Bel
Suggested by Tables the Commission
ers Have Prepared, Comparing This
State with Illinois and Iowa-Rail-
roads Will Defend Present Schedule.

Facts interesting to shippers will be
brought out in general meeting Of
Minnesota railroad traffic men with the
state railroad commission Jan. l6. The
purpose is to secure a substantial reduc-
tion in the existing merchandise rates,
in accordance with a resolution passed
by the last legislature directing the
commission to take up the work of Sc
curing a readjustment of existing
freight rates and more uniform sys-
TEN thruout the state. It will likely
be up to the railroads to show the rea-
condolences Of the existing rates, as the
commission has ALREADY prepared a
sheet comparing both distance and tariff
rates in Minnesota with those of ILL
nois and Iowa. It shows the percentage
OF Minnesota rates, both above and be-
low, figured at fve-mile distances, be-
ginning at ten miles and going up to
800 miles by grades of ten miles.
The roads will likely take the stand
that the present rates seem Iustifable
according to natural laws of transporta-
ton. In the northwestern. part of the
state, where the population is not dense,
the higher rates prevailing seem iusti-
Terminal rates in Minnesota vary,
the higher being in the northern and
western part and thence lower down to
the southwestern part Of the state.
quence in the state have distributing
tariffs now, it will be cited. Com,
pared with Illinois, as shown by the
sheets, the Minnesota rates are very
similar, but somewhat higher than in
Iowa. = : -

TREASURER BLOCK
FILES HIS REPORT
REPEATS ARGUMENT FOR SALE
OF VIRGINIA BONDS.
Wants to Encourage Investment Of
State Funds in Home securities-De-
mand for Loans Generally Exceeds
Funds on Hand-Revenue Fund Over
drawn for First Time at Years End.

State Treasurer Julius II. Block to-
day transmitted his annual report to
Governor johnson, covering the fiscal
year ending July 81 In the report he
goes on record again in favor of the sale
Of Virginia bonds in order to purchase
all bonds offered by Minnesota munich
palities and school districts. The re.
port says in part:
A comparison with former reports
shows that the financial transactions of
the state increase in volume year by
year. This is true not only of the re-
ceipts and disbursements of the current
FUNDS, but also in greater measure Of
the increase in the amount and holdings
of the permanent trust funds.
significant feature of this is the
amount Of loans from the permanent
school fund to our municipalities-schoo
districts, townships and counties-for
the building of schoolhouses and other
public buildings, for drainage, and for
making other needed improvements. At
| the close Of the fiscal year these loans
aggregated $1,543,01s.32; while, as ap-
pears by the present report, these
loans have nearly doubled in the last
four years, now reaching a total of
81, 800, 1927. This class of securities is
very desirable and Is eagerly sought by
| charge s or 6 per cent interest, while the
state makes the loan, which but few ex-
ceptions, at per cent. In my opinion NO
better investment could be made of these
permanent trust funds than by loaning
! them to our own municipalities. In adj
dition to this class Of securities, the per-
manent school fund holds nearly $780,
| 900 in bonds of other states, many oil
which draw only 8 per cent interest.
believe that the best interests of ou1
own people demand that the state
dispose Of some OF these outside
bonds, in quantities sufficient tt
meet the demands for loans from
our own municipalities, at better
rate of interest. A precedent for sucf
action is found in the sale by the state
board Of investment Of Alabama bonds
aggregating some $4,000, for the pur
pose of buying capitol commission Ger
tif1cates.
During the greater part Of the f1sca
year ending July 81, 1905, the demand
of local municipalities for loans from ou
available permanent funds was far il
excess of the receipts accruing to sait
funds. Experience leads us to believ
that if our own municipalities were rea
sonably certain of being able to secur
state money when they desire to Dor
row, the volume of applications for loan
would be materially increased.
In the past four years the proportion
Of loans to Minnesota municipalities t
the moneys received into these funds ha
greatly increased over any previous cor
responding period. The law authorizin
a greater latitude for investments n
doubt accounts in a measure for part 0
this increase, but nevertheless the fac
that these funds are loaned to our munich
palities at lower rate Of interest tina

MAY LOSE LICENSE
o. J. Hawkins Violation of Sunday
Closing Law Up to the Mayor.

o. J. Hawkins, arrested Sunday night
on charges of keeping his saloon open
on Sunday and of conducting "blind
pig' at Excelsior, was arraigned IN
police court today on both charges. The
charge of keeping the saloon open on
Sunday was dismissed on motion OF
City Prosecutor Al Finney, and the
other case was continued until next
Tuesday. The county attorneys office
will try the charge of selling liquor
without g license James O'Connor,
who was arrested with Hawkins in con-
nection with the Excelsior case, pleaded
guilty and sentence will be imposed
when the other case is tried.
The case in which Hawkins is charged
with opening his saloon on Sunday viii
be handled solely by Mayor D: P. Jones
and Superintendent of Police j. G..
Doyle. Mayor Jones said at the time
Of his Sunday closing ruling that
licenses would be revoked if the law
was not obeyed. AS Hawkins freely
admits his guilt, he will probably be
forced out Of the saloon business. His
license is in the hands of the sBirk-
hofer Brewing company, and for some
time his business has been on the de-
cline. His fate will probably be de-
cided before tomorrow.

The company is the first to establish

this business and tends to general re-
duction of interest.
For the first time in many years the
fiscal year closes with a deficit in the
revenue fund. amounting to $444, 625.Ao.
This deficit IN measure is due to appro-

for which no provision has been made.
These extraor ordinary appropriations aggre-
gated approximately 100000, Of which
$431, 866.47 was paid out before the close
