After litigation covering several
years, the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany and Daniel Bubeuzer, of Will
mington, have come to terms. The
suit was brought by Bubenzer to pre-
vent the railroad, company from en-
/croachIng on his land in building it's
elevated structure. Several times the
railroad company won, but in each in
stance the case was appealed until
finally the Chancellor handed down an
injunction denying the right of the
railroad company to take over the
easement of the Bubenzer property.
The railroad then appealed, but Thurs
day it was announced that case had
been settled out of court, the necessary
property having been purchased and
the deeds executed. The property re-
quired has cost the railroad company
$4,000. The work of building the
elevated structure at this point will
now be commenced, and the properties
acquired will be torn down to make
room for freight yard for the accom-
mediation of west side merchants.

James Powell, wheslwright from
near Powell's Corner. boarded tAe
train at Smyrna Monday afternoon
without ticket, and, on refusing to
pay his fare to Clayton, the train was
stopped, and conductor Lsgates pro-
ceeded to eject Mr.. Powell. who was
very mush under the influence Of
liquor. As they reached the platform
Mr.. Powell broke away from the con-
ductor and fell to the ground. The
trainmen Immediately loaded him on
the train again, when he was taken to
Clayton, given medical attention and
sent home by carriage, apparently not
much the worse for his experience.

met in body at Kaposia, voted the
quarantine nuisance and forbid
Mr.. Messenger, owner of the build
ing from receiving patients of any
character from the steamers. The
institution was accordingly closed
and the signals taken down. While
the house was thus closed the two
steamers passed up the river.
Our county commissioners and
board Of health at once went to
work with their sleeves rolled up,
and before dark had obtained per-
mission of the authorities of Nc
Lean township for quarantine
directly opposite Kaposia; had pur-
chased lumber for the erection of
two suitable buildings and loaded it
on boats for conveyance down the
river.
The Minnesota Central railway
will commence Monday night to run
their trains into Owatonna, to con-
meet at that point with the Winona
& St. Peter, which will then have
also reached there. There has been
very lively race to reach the point
of Junction first. The Winona & st.
Peter said about month ago that
they were going to beat the Central
into Owatonna. The Central began
laying track from Faribault toEOwa-
tonna, distance Of fifteen miles,
July oath, and altho they had to lay
about a mile more track than their
competitor, and was compelled to
lie still ten days for the want of
iron, they succeeded in reaching the
point of junction at Owatonna yes
terday, two and nalf miles ahead
of their competitor.

down to ST. Paul by A. S. Cowley,
who, as partner of E. S. Edgerton,
of the Second National bank, has
passed most of his time for the past
two years at Whitehorse Plains,
about twenty miles from Fort Garry
in the Red River settlement. Mr..
Cowley brought down with him
l, 100 wolf skins, 1900 mink skins
and $500 buffalo skins. Some of
the latter are the largest and finest
we have ever seen.

Capt. Fisk's and other trains en-

in which the soldiers were repulsed

The dreaded Asiatic cholera which |
is ravaging the Eastern cities has
caused much apprehension as to its
possible entrance into this city on
some of the steamers which arrive
daily. Quarantine has been declared
and every vessel has to report be-
fore landing. Notwithstanding this,
it was rumored that a couple of
cases had been landed and hurried
to St. Joseph's hospital. A crowd of
excited citizens at once called a
meeting at Timme's store on St.
Peter street. Resolutions of most
pugnacious character were proposed,
some of which went as far as to aim
at the demolition of the hospital.
Farmers in the neighborhood, hav-
ing heard exaggerated statements
of the cholera here have become so
alarmed that they are afraid to
come to the city to trade.

A TRICK OF
MEAT TRUST
Cooper's Journal Makes an
expose" Which Federal
Inspectors Overlooked.
OF DOPING. LEAKY PACKAGES

Associated Press to The Evening Tines.
Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 23.-In its
current issue the official journal of
the Coopers' International Union o.
North America exposes what it terms
another trick of the meat trust, and
one which failed to come to light in
the federal and other recent investiga-
tons. The article refers to the prac-
tice of silicating cooperage packages
in which meats are cured, and in
which butterine and various meats
are placed for shipment.
The article says, in part: "In form
er years all barrels and kegs used
for food products in meat packing
houses We're planed out clean inside
and the leaks carefully repaired
through mechanical means. For in
stance. If barrel contained de-
fective piece Of wood, (stave or head
ing) the defective piece was removed
and a new one inserted. In the pro-
cess of economy it was found that
many Of the leaks could be temporari-
ly stopped and the services of the
cooper dispensed with by doping the
package inside with a mixture con-
tanning silicon, oxygen and other
calcareous sulphurous matter. In
case Of a bad leak. the package is
coated and recoated with this prepar-
alton until considerable thickness of
1T Is formed inside the package. This
poisonous preparation, though at first
dry and hard. in the course of time
dissolves into the contents of the pack
age, and through the usual course
finds 1T way into the stomachs of the
unsuspectfng consumers"

A COMMON SENSE VIEW.

President Roosevelt is right in his
recent declaration that tariff tinkering
will not cure the trust evil. The con-
tention that the tariff is responsible
for the trusts is an exploded theory
of free traders, used for political eff
feet in past campaigns and rejected
repeatedly by decisive majorities.
The trust evil, as the president says,
can be reached only through the anti
trust laws, and good progress has
been made and is being made in this
regard.
That the tariff schedules should be
readjusted to meet changed conditions
OF trade is forcefully pointed out by
the president, and is agreed to by all
who view the matter from the stand
point of the common good rather than
from the point of view of the poll
tician.
Inequalities in the tariff are un-
avoidable and it will be so always.
whether the democrats make the law
or whether the republicans make it.
That some of the existing schedules
need to be revised goes without ques-
ton. That the republican congress
will do it we have no doubt, and it
will be done intelligently without lar
or friction, without injury to the coun-
try's business.

justice often attempted upon the EN-
ployer and to organized labor as we'll.
for ten to one the trouble-breeder was
not an Industrious. conscientious
worker. but a meddler and slug
gard. The farmers are today paying
from $3.50 to $500 per day for COM
mon labor. including board and lodg-
ing, which is equivalent to from $50
to SIS per week in the city.
There is fairly good crop, but this
has undoubtedly been exaggerated.
There is heavy straw and it requires
just as much labor to put the grain
up in shocks and to thresh it as if
it were we'll filled and yielding an
abundant harvest. The crop, however.
is conceded to be good one and the
wages paid for labor are equally good.
In fact, the wages are out of proper
ton to the crop.
The Evening Times is glad OF the
crop and glad of the good wages earn
ed by the man who tolls. but there is
reason in all things and this effort
of some wandering highlander to per-
feet an organization by which the
farmer can be bled to finish is con-
temptable. Not only that. it is an in
suit to legitimate organized labor as
it carries with it more or less of an
insinuation that extortion is a part
of the union labor plan which We be-
lieve is untrue. in most cases at least
1t is natural thing to expect an en-
ployer to prosper first in order to be
able to pay legitimate prices for legit-
innate labor and this is recognized by
intelligently conducted unions. A fair
square deal labor is entitled to and
is in a position to demand. but efforts
like the one cited to hold up and to
bulldoze into compliance with hoggisn
demands should and undoubtedly will
meet with little encouragement from
honest labor and the public in general.

That Was Going Some.

Mayor Mcclellan of New York was
dining in London at the Carlton,
number of Americans were in the
fashionable restaurant, and thew ali
took coffee together in the foyer after
dinner, seated at little tables on the
low white balcony, near the orchestra.
which affords so fine a view of restaur'
ant and foyer both.
The talk turned to high speed and its
perils-the perilous high speed of
motor cars. express trains and the like.
Mayor Mcclellan smiled and said:
There is, undoubtedly. always
something dangerous about speed.

A CLOSE CALL
Handsome New Residence of
M. J. Enright Threatened by
Fire Earlv Today.

At about 4 o'clock this morning, NJ,
Enright was startled by noticing that
the cord covering the electric wire at
tached to the electric fan in the sit
ting room OF his fine new home on
Fifth street was all ablaze and spring.
ing hurriedly from bed, he made haste
to extinguish the flames before much
damage was done. 1t appears that in
moving the wire about. the insulation
had been worn of and the same took
fire in consequence Mr.. Enright con-
siders the escape from serious con-
flagration as remarkable for had the
family been away, the fire must have
spread rapidly, there being material
of an inf1ammable nature in the near
proximity to the wires. His residence
has but recently been completed and
Is one of the finest in this section,
costing about $4,000.
