McCabe. ON this. his 10th birthday.
The convention of the Fargo district
OF the Epworth league was highly in
leresting. Its sessions continued both
yesterday and today and many things
were discussed of vital interest to the
organization. A movement was in
augurated looking toward the organ
ization OF an Epworth league institute,
to be held at some central point, at
which the district leagues of North
and South Dakota and western Mime
sofa would be present. This would
give an organization of sufficient

TO FOSTER THE Ignite INDUSTRIES
Movement Begun Among Commercial
Clubs to Further Development
of Ignite.

Owing to the fact that in the opin-
ion of many business men of the state
the Ignite coal fields of the state
have not been developed as rapidly
as conditions appear to warrant, Il
movement has begun among CONNER
cial clubs of the state having for its
object the interesting of the railroads
in furnishing more cars for the trans
portation of North Dakota coal and
also to grant rates which will en-
courage more rapid growth Of the
Ignite mining industry. A large por-
ton of the Ignite coal fields of the
state belong to the government and
much of this is said to have been with
drawn from entry for the present, but
there are enough mines owned by
private parties and corporations, if
properly developed, to make the in
dustry much more important one in
the state. 1t is generally recognized
that Ignite coal is cheaper for fuel
than any other coal used in the north
west. Some of the Ignite mine own
ers complain that the railroads dis
criminate in favor of eastern coal
owners, but the railroads reply that
most of the freight traffic Of the
northwest is eastward and consequent
ly there are numerous empties en-
route west. 1t is an easy matter to
give the eastern coal preference, be-
cause the transportation facilities are
better on account of traffic conditions.
One commercial club has appointed a
committee to confer with railroad Off
Gals in an endeavor to secure better
rates and more cars. The outcome
will be watched with interest all over
the state.

secured for this city through the eff
forts OF Superintendent Burnett and
the members of the city school board.
The efforts of the singers were greatly
appreciated and especially the work of
c. H. Dixon, basso, and G. T. Henry,
baritone, came in for much favorable
comment.
The other numbers on the lecture
course are as follows:
Father Vaughan.
The great dramatic orator comes
next. In seven years he has risen to
the top as lecturer and has no SUI
perior. Wherever Father Vaughan
goes he gets a return date.
Edwin Brush.
Mr.. Brush is one of the most clever
magicians on the road. The only way
to secure an evening from him was to
get the date early. He is a winner.
Concert Favorites.
This quartet of artists ranks among
the very foremost of high class musi-
cal talent. They constitute a violin
soloist, reader and impersonator,
soprano sOlOist and a solo cornetist.
They alone are worth the price of the
entire course.
Ralph Parlette.
Mr.. Parlette is hard tc label; he is
in a class by himself and has style

Rev. F. c. r. Miller of the First Bap-
fist church Of this city will deliver a
series of six sermons on Sunday even
ings, beginning October q, on Mar
riage and Domestic Life" The sew
eral topics are noted above.
The addresses will be devoid of all
sensational features, as we'll as the
consideration of the neglected topic
from a frivolous standpoint. Rev.
Miller has gathered a vast fund of in
formation from people in the various
walks of life who have expressed their
views upon the subject as men and
women who are looking at the matter
from the standpoint OF practical life,
and this information together with the
principles of the marriage relation as
laid down in the Bible will constitute
the basis of the sermons. There has
never been a series of sermons in this
city upon a more interesting topic,
and with the strong common sense
methods which will mark their presen-
tation, the people who hear them will
be lifted to higher and purer con-
ception of the relation around which
so much of the welfare and hope of
the world hangs.

EFFECT Of REVISION
Of RATES ON
COAL
As Applicable to the Citizens
of Grand Forks and the
State.
R. R. OFFICIALS QUOTED
They Say Grand Forks Gets
the Long End of the
Favors. !

One of the many questions in which
the bulk of people of this city are
vitality interested is that of whether
the recent revision by the railroads
of the coal rates will make any real
difference to the pocketbooks of the
citizens of Grand Forks.
The keen observer is most inter-
ested in the coal haul from Duluth to
this city, as 1t is from Duluth that
three-fourths Of the coal used in thu.
city is shipped. Several railroad men
running over this route have been
asked about the coal reductions and
the invariable response has been that
this city has always received favors
at the hands of the railroads, and that
under the new rates the city would
still have the best of the other towns
in the state.
When the question was asked as to
why the railroads charged higher
rate for hauling hard coal than for
the soft variety, the railroad men
have invariably replied that a higher
rate is generally charged by the roads
for handling more expensive goods.
This was on the theory that there
was more risk in hauling expensive
property than cheap property. At the
same time, it could not be denied that
there was practically no risk at alt in
the handling of coal, hard or soft,
by rail.
You see," he said, substantially
all the anthracite coal comes to Grand
Forks by water shipment, the bulk of
it going to the head of the lakes. With
this water shipment it is hard for the
all-rail shipments to compete in the
carrying of the hard coal, as it comes
from Pennsylvania, and the water
shipment is cheaper. Now it is easier
for the Great Northern in carrying
hard coal from Duluth to Grand Forks
to keep up the rate, than it is for the
lines coming into this city from all
the coal producing points, to keep up
a high rate on the carrying of all coal.
Hence, there is far more competition
in the carrying of soft coal than in the
carrying of hard.
IF the railroad bringing the coal
from Duluth should charge more for
carrying soft coal than it does, it could
not meet the competition OF the coal
brought to the twin cities from Chi
cago and brought from the twin cities
up here. Nearly all this coal is mined
in Illinois. But, in the matter of an
thracite coal, coming all the way from
Pennsylvania, the situation is differ
ent. On this product, the all-rail
shipments, and even those coming
over the 500 and Wisconsin Central
and lake points in Michigan, cannot
compete so well. Hence, the rate on
hard coal from Duluth to this city
is kept up

WIFE IN HOSPITAL;
HUSBAND IN
JAIL
julius Malstad Given County
Jail Sentence For Being
Habitually Drunk.
A HUMAN INTEREST TALE
Wife Underwent Operation In
Local Hospital Yesterday
Condition Serious.
A HUMAN INTEREST TALE

The fact that his wife lies in
local hospital, nigh unto death, fol-
lowing a surgical operation performed
yesterday, did not deter julius NAL
stad from becoming drunk in the
guided palaces of East Grand Forks.
Indeed, If the statements of the po-
lice are to be believed, and the evil
dence in court would tend to give
them credence, Malstad acquired a
shameful jag, and, upon vending his
way to this side of the river, was
taken in tow by the local police and
landed in the Crib" at the police
station.
This morning Police Magistrate
Church, after hearing the facts and
recalling that the defendant had
graced the justice courts on several
previous occasions, refused the option
of a fine, and melted out a straight
sentence of twenty-five days in the
county Jail.
When arrested the police state that
the prisoners clothes gave off a vapid
odor that reminded of the gentle()
zephyrs which wander over the Vesu-
Wan lava beds.
Malstad will be given due oppor-
tunity to ponder over his misconduct
His wife today was reported as being
mighty sick woman.

SOME CHANGES IN THE TAX LAWS
One Of the Three Proposed Amend.
ments to State Constitution
Is Important.

At the November election of the
voters of Polk county will be asked to
pass judgment on three amendments to
the constitution of the state of Min
nesota. They were approved by the
last legislature and are now being
prepared for submission at the polls
Nov. 6.
Briefly the three amendments are:
First-The wide open tax Law.
Scond-A state highway commits
sion.
Third-The right Of farmers to
peddle their own products without
the interference Of license regulations.
Of the three the first probably has
the right of way in consideration by
the voters of the state, for it is un-
doubtedly the most important. It ia

CARRUTHERS NOW DENIES ROBBERY
Negro Accused Of Tapping Till In
Saloon Says He Did Not Com.
NIT the Crime.

Alex Carruthers, the negro accused
Of tapping the till in the Skaren &
Olson saloon the first of the week, has
decided that he made a mistake when
he confessed to the robbery. He was
captured in Grand Forks the morning
of the robbery by Officer Blue and
confessed to the robbery. When inter-
viewed by the Evening Times repre-
sentative the same morning he ad-
mitted his guilt and also said he was
not drunk when he did the tapping.
Now he says that Captain Sullivan
told him he would get off ii he con-
fessed, and he insists that he earned
his money threshing near st. Thomas.
One of the interesting features of
the case was the concession OF the
bartender. Archie Elberum, who said
that he was accustomed to manipulate
the key to the cash register SO that it
would not ring up the amount he put
in. He also admitted that he had been
convicted of a crime
An adjournment was taken until
