THE RATE CUT HELPS BUT LITTLE
New Rate on Coal Will Save About 81
Year to Each Family.

The new rate on coal from eastern
terminals to this city was received
at the railroad offices in this city yes
teriay morning and freight house en-
ployes are inclined to treat the sched-
ule as a joke. Instead of decrease
as was indicated by press reports. the
present rate will be cut but ten cents
ton on soft coal and no reduction
whatever will be made in the freight
rate on hard coal.
At present the freight rates on hard
and soft coal are the same, 500 per
ton. The new rates will be $500 for
soft coal and $40 for hard coal. The
new rate becomes effective October
%.
This same rate Is in effect at Fargo
and other points in the state.
1t has been figured out by a Fargo
scribe that even IL the consumer gets
the benefit of the reduction in freight
rates on coal from eastern terminals,
each family will save on an average
only $1.20 each year in the item of
coal. This estimate is based on an
average ANNUAL consumption of twelve
tons of coaf for each family.

VIM. MARR0W's MARROW ESCAPE
Fell Distance Of 80 Feet From Water
Tank ut Fargo-Unintured.

William Marrow of this city, en7
ployed by the Great Northern as a
railroad carpenter, did the Elias Green
stunt yesterday at Fargo and that the
fall of thirty feet did not end his
existence is considered wonderful.
The peculiar part of the accident is
that Marrow escaped without as much
as broken bone, a few bad bruises
and severe jolt being the extent of
his injuries. Marrow was in this city
yesterday morning after material for
the new water tank being erected in
the Fargo railroad yards, but left here
on the morning train. AS soon as he
reached Fargo he assembled to the
scaffolding where the work was going
on and paused on brace that was
thought to be perfectly stable. He
remained on this small platform
about five minutes when suddenly
without warning crack or sound
the false work broke off and fell to
the ground, bringing Marrow with it,
a distance of over 80 feet.
He was picked up by his fellow
workmen, who thought at first that he
had been killed, but was found con-
scious. He was taken at once to St.
Johns hospital, where medical ex-
animation revealed the fact that he
had not been hurt to any extent and
would be able to get out again in the
course of few days, having received
nothing more serious than few body
bruises and bad scare.
The fact that he escaped without
serious, If not fatal, injuries is attri-
buted by the WOrkmen who witnessed
the accident to the fact that the brace
on which he was standing went to
the ground under him and thus DIM
inished the crash which he would
otherwise have received. Had the
brace only been loosened and Marrow
allowed to slide off, it is feared that
he would have suffered broken bones,
as the ground under the scaffolding
is anything but soft. His escape is
considered most fortunate.

THE NEGRO IS NOT JOHN HoeGE
Chief Of Police Fadden Finds Boot.
black Held at Ross Not
the Nan Hogge.

A message from Larimore at 8
o'clock this afternoon states that
Chief of Police Fadden has returned
from Ross, N. D., empty handed, as
he found the man held there was not
the John Hogge wanted for setting
fire to the Kelly livery stable in Lari-
more several weeks ago. The negro
held in custody at Ross was a boot
black and formerly stayed in Lari-
more, his familiarity with people and
things in that city being largely re-
sponsible for his arrest by the Ross
authorities who inferred that he might
possibly be the negro who SO mys-
teriously disappeared after the dread
full holocaust in which three men were
cremated. Once again everything
points to the presumption that Hogge
persisted in the fire. The remains Of
one of the men found afterward in the
ruins were SO badly burned that it
was impossible to determine whether
the victim was a white man or an
African.

under the name of the Texas Kid"
which name, it will be remembered,
was one of those by which "Blackie"
was known to his companions. Bruce
also said that Heilman had told him,
in talking of the murder of Personals,
that there were three of us mixed
up in that deal and l can name the
man who shot the officer" Heilman
says he came from Bloomer, Wis, to
work in the wheat fields about August
and since that time has worked near
Valley City, jamestown and finally
landed here about September /, two
days after the Personals murder, and
went to work for C. @. Engdahl in
the country. A week or so later he
came to town and filled up on squir-
rel whisky, hurt his arm and was run
in. He paid his fine, and since that
time has done nothing.

THE DEFENSE WILL HAVE HEARING
Government Will Probably Rest Case
Against j. w. BristOw Today.

Today was the third day in the trial
OF J. w. Bristow at Fargo. charged
with the murder of Smutty Bear, a
policeman on the Standing Rock re-
servation at the Porcupine station,
which is near the mouth of the Cam
non Ball river. 1t is probable from
the present indications that the case
will go to the jury some time Friday,
although, the defense may take more
time than Is expected just now. The
prosecution rested their case this
morning. after having placed ten In
dians and squaws on the stand and
one rancher. who resides at the sta
tion. 1t Is expected that 1t will take
the defense much shorter time to
present their case as most of the wit
nesses they will introduce are Amer
leans and the use of the interpreter
will not be necessitated as it was
when the Indians were on the stand.

who attended the trial. there being a
certain amount of curiosity added on
account of the fact that Indians were
testifying. was J. w. Bristow. who
was seated behind his attorney. There
were very few people in the room
who were able to pick out the man
that is being tried for murder as he
showed not the least excitement and
carried his part as calmly as if there
was no charge whatever staring him
in the face. He is q man in the
middle Of life and rather attractive
in his manner.
The ease was opened yesterday
morning with the recalling of Albert
Smutty Bear. son of the murdered
man. who told the same story that
was given the day previous. The
wife of the murdered man was also
recalled and told the same story as
the afternoon previous.

like Geiranger fjord. This mornings
trip up and down the fjord is worth
the trip across the Atlantic to see.
There are any number of fine water
falls all of them over 1000 feet high
and rocks and cliffs of the most pict-
ureque and stately type. The water
in the fjord is just like the most high
ly polished mirror and the roads and
fields in between are perfect little
gardens. The water from the falls
comes down with just a little speed
falling as it does thousand Of feet. In
many places the mountains are cut
nearly in two by the streams of water
flowing down the sides. In some
places the streams scatter over quite
"a wide area and make leaps or
straight falls of several hundred feet.
Here the water sprays off into mists
that looks like the very finest gauze.
The finest of this kind is called the
"Bridal Veil' and the name is ex-
tremely appropriate. In one place
there are in the spring Of the year ]
waterfalls of uniform size, shape and
height. These are called the sisters.
When we passed, two Of them had
already run dry and two others al
most SO. There are large snow drifts
on the tops Of the mountains that
supply all these streams. The snow
is easily seen from the fjord as 1T is
only matter OF looking straight up a
distance 5000 feet, which is easily
done in country where the atmos-
phere is SO clear that often you can
see distance of rs or 80 miles. Got
to pause for concert now.
Hello, this is Monday morning.
The way we were received In Bergen
Yesterday wasn't poor. Just as we
came in a salute was fired from the
fort, about or 8shots. The signific-
ance of this is that it is never done
except on very great occasions.
have been told by people living that
it has never been done before except
on the arrival of the king. The same
was true of our arrival and salute in
tChristiania that / told you about in
my last letter. Last night after the
best concert we ever played and that
to before one OF the most critical aud
fences we were presented with a
wreath of laurels by the ladies OF
Bergen. Just think Of that-laurel
wreaths by the most highly educated
people musically at least in Norway!
Grieg himself attended the concert,
and the boys who saw where he sat,
say he cheered and applauded. He
was greatly pleased after we played
his 'tLanskjending. Aren't you glad
he applauded SO, for you know that is
dandy compliment to our director
as he is the one who had arranged 1t
from the male chorus as it was writ
ten by Grieg, for our band. The
concert hall where we played Is noted
as being the Oldest theatre in Nor
way. Almost forgot to tell you that
just before the concert commenced, l,
Prime Minister Nicholson came down
on the stage and made little speech
to us inviting us to come and visit
him at 1870 today and he would show
us the sights around here this after
noon. Just think of a Prime Minis
ter taking an afternoon off to show a
bunch of American boys the sights
just like an ordinary guide. Yester-
day when we came in here 1t was

beautiful one, but not SO elaborate as
our American one given us in Mime
apolis, and am glad of it, as it seems
more appropriate for Il bunch of
American boys like we are, to have our
own flag little the nicer. Wednes-
day a very touching thing happened:
We went up a ford to some old
ruins of a medieval castle. 1t was
early morning, rainy and foggy, so
just a few of us went. When we ar
rived there, we found a bunch of
had come to give us a welcome to
that old fort, all these little tots
stood in ring and each held a bunch
of flowers intended for the band boys,
but as only five of us were there, we
got them all for the time being.
President Kildahi went back to the
ship to get the other boys, we brought
our instruments over and played for
the little tots. tt looked mighty nice
to see those little boys and girls lined
up there with those flowers. 1t goes
to show no matter where we land in
this country, there is always someone
on hand to welcome us. 1t is great
the way we are welcomed in these
towns. Salutes are fired with can
non, we are met with singing clubs.
brass bands, brigades Of girls with
flowers and everything we can think
of, besides of course the crowds OF
people about those ruins now. We
only small part of the ruins, but
enough to give us some idea Of it's
size. The walls were solid stone lift
thick and on the side toward the sea
there was great big overhanging
cliff, multiplying the thickness
of the walls about 10 times.
Way down underground was a small
Shiny hole which the guide said
was used as dungeon and it certain
ly looked like one. He made speech
to us and gave us concisely yet COM
pletely the whole history of this old
place. / have learned more Norweg-
ian geography and history on this
trip than / ever knew before. 1t Is
very interesting to see the old histor-
ical places.
On Tuesday evening we visited
Sticklestad and at the same time
took look at that terrible landslide
that happened in the valley in 1893,
when space averaging from 1CO-l5O

narrow opening a few hundred feet

Short Time Loans.
An ImpaSSabie Gull.

The stock market was demoraliZed
the other day by cut of a dollar a
ton in the price Of Southern iron.
Naturally, the steel =. shares were
especially weak. The big Steel Trust
was formed more than five years ago.
1t brought under a single manage
ment the richest iron mines, the best
blast furnaces and steel mills in the
North, about one hundred lake
steamers and barges for carrying ore
and some two thousand miles of rail-
road track. Every step in the pro-
gress of manufacture from the mine
to the finish product was thus owned
and operated coordinately by tie cor
noration. 1t was said that this CO.
ordination would lower the cost OF
manufacture. Perhaps it has-but
not to the consumer More than five
wears after the organization of the
trust threat that some consumer
NAV get their iron a dollar a ton
cheaper is demoralizing.
Coordinating the, processes of man
ufacture was not the only function Of
the trust. 1t issued five hundred
millions of common stock that was
water. This stock was given to the
promoters or exchanged for other
shares that had been bestowed as
bonuses. The voting power in this
half billion of water controls the cor
poration. The shares have been sell
ling around $40 in the hope that divi-
dends soon would be resumed. 70
resume dividends would entail a
charge of s2O,OO0,OOO a year, or over
two dollars ton on the corporat ions
output of finished products. This ex-
tensive gulf Of water lies between the
consumer and lower prices. 1t also
