WILL TEST ROAD LAW.
NicoIlet County Farmers Will Protest
Against Com Act.

st. Peter, Sept. 2S-One of the first
contests to arise i'm Minnesota as re-
suit of the enactment by the last leg
islature of the law creating the state
highway commission is now in progress
in Nicolett county. That law permitted
boards of county commissioners in all
the counties of the state to designate
certain roads as state highways and, in
making its choice the Nicolett county
board has stirred up trouble for itself.
When it was announced that the COM
missioners were to take action along this
line it was generally supposed that they
would name the historic Fort Ridgely
road. 1t was originally constructed by
the federal government in 1858 to facili-
tate the transportation of supplies from
St. Paul to Fort Ridgely, and it is an
interesting fact that Major Joseph r.
Brown, who is famous as the man who
framed Minnesota's organic act and who
was a prominent figure of territorial
udNS. WIS given Tie cOHUTdcG W Dullu
that portion of it south of Henderson.
1t has been in constant use for more
than fifty years, and the farmers living
along it were firmly convinced that it
would be selected by the county board.
That body, however, had different
plans entirely, and designated parallel
highway traversing the townships of
Lake Prairie, New Sweden, Bernadotte,
Brighton and Lafayette as the road to
be constructed and maintained under
the direction and with the assistance
of the Minnesota highway commission.
Their action took the supporters of the
Fort road completely by surprise, but
the latter have framed a protest which
asks that the action be rescinded, and
will present it at meeting to be held
next week.
In the event of the commissioners
turning deaf ear to the request, there
is talk of taking the controversy into
the courts.

Jordan, Mimi, Was Visited
By the Flames.
WORST IN TOWNS HISTORY.
Mammoth Hardware Store Quilted !;
Loss Will Aggregate $4,000;
Many Buildings Burned.

Jordan, Sept 27.--With the aid of
two fire departments from Belle Plain
and New Prague a fire which for time
yesterday afternoon threatened the en-
tire business section of this village, was
subdueed, entailing loss of $4,000. 1t
was the worst conflagratiOn Jordan has
ever had, and had aid not arrived
promptly, the loss would have been much
greater.
The fire started in the hardware store
of C. II. Casey, whose store is the larg
est of its kind in the state outside of
the twin cities.
Mr. Casey's loss is between $25, 900
and $50 O00 Insurance will nearly COW
er the entire loss.
The fire followed an explosion in the
basement, which was probably caused
by someone dropping match on COM
bustibles stored there. The basement
was soon Quilted, the flames making
Roadway to the first floor, and had a
good start there before it was found that
the local fire fighters could not control
the fire. Aid was sent for at once. The
building was too far gone when the de-
partments arrived from the nearby
towns and all attention was directed
toward preventing the flames spreading
to other buildings.
Several frame bouses were in danger
of flying sparks having started fires in
different parts of the village, but these
were quickly extiHguished. The only
residence that could not be saved was
that of Mrs. T. Graham, and it was
burned to the ground. The loss will
be about $1,000, partly covered by in
surance.
Mr.. Casey was badly burned about the
face, but it is not thought he was seri-
cusly injured. The Casey building was
q two-story structure and it is probable
that the building will be rebuilt at once

GAINESVILLE MANS ACT.
IL Causes a Scene at the Union
Depot.
From Fridays Daily

L TOul FTlUdy . bdhy.
Early yesterday morning there was
an exciting scene at tie union depot. 1t
was between four and five o'clock in
the morning, while the night ticket
agent was still on duty, that a James
vile man walked into the ticket office
and began to take papers out of the
pigeon holes and scatter them about in
a hurried manner. The agent remon-
strated, but the man replied that it was
none of his business, and that he could
attend to his own affairs, but if he but
ted in he would get the worst of it.
The disarrangement of the carefully as
sorted records went on rapidly, when
H. r. Kurth happened to step in and
took in the situation. He told the
stranger that he would have to desist
or be put out. 1t looked like a fight for
a time, bu while he mans aenion vast
was distracted, the police station was
called up and Officer vogel put in an
appearance. Between the three men, the
GAINESVILLE man was induced to leave in
peace, vowing vengeance He did not re-
turn, however, and doubtless took
train for home.

FOUR COWS KILLED.
Great Western Passenger Train Runs
Into Them Near Waters.

On Tuesday night the passenger train
from the north on the Great Western
road ran into bunch of cattle that
were on the track near Waters, this
side of Eagle Lake, and killed three
cows and broke the leg of another, so
that it had to be killed. The cows
belonged to Jacob Hilgers, who has
bought out Martin Wiltgen's livery bus
mess. 1t is believed that they got out
of the pasture through defect in the
fence.
The passenger train was late that
evening and did not reach Mankato I'M

Shippers Association Sends
Ont Questions
FIGHT FOR REDUCED RATES.
Tells What Has Been Accomplished
BY the State Organization Since
December 4, 1904.
From Fridays Daily.

From Fridays Daily.
The Minnesota Shippers and Receivers
association, the organization which has
been carrying on the fight for reduced
railroad rates, is going into politics this
fall, to the extent of putting candidates
on record as to their stand on the rail-
road question and allied subjects.
Members of the association have been
supplied with cards containing list of
questions addressed to candidates, and
they are asked to submit them to any
candidates they can reach and get an
swers. In the circular sent out by
George S. LOTUS, commissioner of the
association, he says that it is hoped to
secure an expression from every candi-
date for the legislature, and the result
of the inquiry will be mailed to voters
all over the state, Gin order to enable
them to vote intelligently at the coming
election"
The questions to be answered are as
follows:
First. Do you favor .jail sentence"
for railroad rebaters?"
Second. Are you in favor of recipro-
cal demurrage?
Third. Do you believe in the princi-
pie of basing railroad rates on the act
ual cost of construction of the road, plus
legitimate operating expenses and a fair
rate of interest on this valuation of the
property?
Fourth. Are you in favor of 2-cent
passenger rate?
Fifth. Do you favor the adjustment
of free passes?
Sixth. Do you favor the revision of
the state tax laws?
Z Seventh. Do you favor the extension
of the primary system of selection to
state officials?
Mr.. LOTUS has sent out another cir
cular to members, showing what results
have been accomplished since the asso-
citation was organized, Dec. 6, 1904. 1t
includes reduction in number of rates,
adjustment of extra charges, lower
minimum weights, reduced classification
of oil in barrels and other concessions
from the railroads. Among the things
secured the circular mentions the 90 per
cent reduction in merchandise rates, and
says:
AS this concession was only secured
during the past week, the rates will
of course not be in effect until the rail-
roads have time to make up their new
tariffs. They will naturally make every
endeavor to delay putting these rates in
effect until they have tested the legality
of the order of the railroad and ware
house commission in the courts. 1t is
our intention, however, to use every eff
fort to force them to put the new rates
in effect. at the earliest possible date
and if they wish to make test case,
do so after they have put the rates in
effect, thus giving the shippers and re-
ceivers the benefits of the reduction
while the controversy is being carried
on,

CLAIMS SETTLED.
Rumor That Jabez lloyd's Fslon6S
Have Come to He Rescue.
From, Thuradav'S Daily.

rTOIH IHuTSudy 0d1V'
1t is understood that the claims
against Jabez Lloyd were settled yes
terday by parties friendly to him, posi-
bly, relatives of himself or wife. The
claims settled include the one of $705
held by w. J. Dyer & Bro. of st. Paul. The
claim having been settled upon which
the warrant for Lloyd's arrest was
based, it is not likely that the officers
will make strenuous efforts to secure
his arrest, with the consequent expense
to the county of sending an officer after
him, and the likelihood of no one ap-
pearing against him when he was re.
turned.
