State Legal Department Goes
After Duluth B of T.
ACTION TO END EXISTENCE.
Claimed That Organization Is In Re-
straint of Trade and is in Con.
flict With State Laws.

st. Paul, Feb. 3.-The state legal de-
partment, through Attorney General
Yonng and Assistant Attorney General
: Stone, yesterday began suit to end the
corporate career of the Duluth board of
trade.
The papers were filed in the Duluth
courts and the complaint is that the
board is in restraint of trade and conse-
quently is in conflict with the anti trust
law of 1899.
The state, acting for the Minnesota
Farmers exchange, which says it has
been Disseminated against in the abso-
Lutte refusal of the members of the eX-
change to have any dealings with it, is
the plaintiff. The defendants are John
Miller, George Spencer, j. H. Barnes, A.
W. Frick, S. H. Jones, E. H. Smith, j.
+ Mccarthy, d. L. Helm, j. NJ. McKind-
ley, w. Dalrymple, j. III. Cook, NJ. L.
jerks, H. B. Moore and III. f. Salyards,
al officers and direstors of the Duluth
board of trade.
The state legal department makes the
following statement on the suit:
Upon information furnished by Off
GERS of the Minnesota Farmers exchange
and others, the attorney general has
commenced an action to forfeit the cor
porate privileges and franchises of the
Duluth board of trade and to enioin it
and its officers from continuing what is
claimed to be an unlawful restraint and
monopoly of the Duluth grain market.
The state is the plaintiff in the case and
the board of trade and its directors are
the defendants. The action is based up
Oh the state antitrust law, which was
enacted in 1899.
The Minnesota Farmers exchange is
a corporation composed of numerous
farmers in Minnesota and North Dako-
ia, and was organized to facilitate the
marketing of their grain and produce.
IL the summer of 1905 it applied for
membership in the Duluth board, but
was refused. In the early fall of 1905
the exchange marketed some grain
through the Duluth commission houses,
but, after a short time, under the cOer
cion of the board and its directors, these
commission men refused to handle any
grain for the exchange.
Upon application to other members
OF the board, the exchange met with

'Dr.RYP.v,u.

Many mothers of families in the United
States have real on to be grateful to the
person who RECOMMENDED DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This is a medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases of
womankind. 1t does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis
ease, for it is put up for the single pur-
pose of curing diseases peculiar to
a0Omen. 1t has reputation of over a
third of a century of cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent
than any other medicine for women.
Another point in its favor-it does not
contain single drop of alcohol or
harmful habit-forming drugs. 1t is
purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less in any condition of the system.
An alcoholic compound for women is
something no woman should take and
yet vFavorite Prescription is the only
tonic and nervine put up for sale
through druggists, especially for wom-
ans weaknesses, that does not contain
alcohol and that too in large quantities.
Womanly weakness will always bring
nervous irritability and nervous con-
dition, for which alcohol is the worst
thing in the world. What woman
thus afflicted needs is vegetable tonic
and invigorating nervine like Doctor
Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which
will build up her delicate system and
bring about healthy tone. 1t cures
the drains and weaknesses of women,
also displacements, as prolapsus, ante
version, retroversion, irregular and
painful periods and kindred ailments.
If you want to know what ails you
the United States mail will bring you
the best medical advice for only the
cost of writing materials and stamps.
Many women owe their present good
health to the fact that they consulted
DR.. Pierce by letter, giving him all pos
sible information about their condition,
symptoms, etc., and received in return
good medical advice aohich cost them
nothing. This is why we advise you to
write to DIR. r. v. Pierce, the founder
of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgica
Institute, at Buffalo, N. Y.
DIR. Pierce by no means confines
himself to prescribing his well-knowr
proprietary medicines. He tells yor
in the most common-sense way what

Second Street Improvement.

AID. Hampl said that many of tho
that street curbed and guttered from
Vine to Cherry Some of them would
like to have the north end of the street
narrowed and bouevarded.

would make mistake to have the street
narrowed, and they ought to want il

AID Atchison said that the city uses
many teams. Many of these teams are
unfit to be seen, and the same is true
of the harnesses. The city engineer
should be asked to notify these men to
spruce up their horses and harnesses. One
harness still has fly net attached. He

They Want Uniform Mileage Book
AdoraEed IN MINNESOTA


The United Commercial Travellers are
conducting Il campaign for uniform
mileage book in Minnesota. A hearing
on the subject will be held Feb. 10 by
the railroad and warehouse commission,
to which general passenger agents have
been invited. A committee from the U.
C. 7. will represent that organization.
The complaint is that the northern
lines do not honor the interchangeable
mileage issued by the lines in the West
ern Passenger association, except in com
mon territory. They want the Great
Northern Pacific and 500 to come into
a general agreement, so with one book
travelling men may cover the entire state
for 2 cents mile.

from Berlin:
Full Information regarding the tariff negotia-
tons between Germany and the United States
will be published at an early day, but def
mite conclusion has yet been reached. 1t goes
without saying that treaty OF commerce can
be negotiated IN the short time till March !, and
Il q tariff is TO be avoided It will necessarily
be only through a provisional arrangement.
The latter would not have the character Of a
provisional treaty, requiring ratification by the
Reichstag IN al its provisions. but the Reichstas
would have 10 authorize the government to ar
range tariff relations with the United States for
q specific limited period. which would be short
enough 10 preserve its provisional character and
long enough TO negotiate real treaty Of COM
rnerCe or TO establish the fact that tariff war
