GRAIN RATE WAR UNSETTLED
Executive OmcIRIs of Western Trunk
Lines Hold Another FruItIess
Conference.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-EXecutive officers OF
the western trunk lines met here today 10
consider the differenta between the gulf
and seaboard on shipments OF export grain
from points west Of the Missouri river but
were unable 10 reach a settlement. As
was the case at previous conferences, the
fobbing charge which southern trunk lines
included in their combined rate to the
gulf was the stumbling block and their re-
fusal to cease the absorption Of this charge
of 1.3 cents a hundred for placing the
grain on board ship was the primary rea-
son for the failure to reach a solution OF
the question.
Another conference will be held next
week to further consider the subject.

AWFUL IIDINGS
FROM PlPEST0NE
Ambitious Correspondent Sends
Out Story of Terrible Doings
at Woodstock.

The following matter, mailed to the
Associated Press from Pipestone, Minn.,
by an ambitious correspondent, was sent
turnout the country today, over the AS
ISOLATED Press wires, as joke:
The terrible spectacle OF the dangling
effigy of one Of the village IS best known
citizens, Editor Haislett, Of the News,
in the small village Of Woodstock, a
dozen miles east OF this city, was the
opening scene of day of wild con-
lecture and intense excitement on June
H..
The suspension of the figure from the
village hagpole, in plain view Of the
populace, was the work of personal and
polite enemies made by the editor
during his recent struggle for better
municipal government, which eXcelled
in bitterness and strenuousness even the
similar campaigns of many Of the coun-
try s large cities.
The present turn of affairs tho the
most sensational of their kind reported
for years in southern Minnesota, hardly
indicate the full intensity of the hatred
existing between the opposing factions
: in the village. For years. a hoodlum
gang has held, an upper hand with little
opposition, but is now being forced to
| fight for existence.
More serious trouble is feared as the
fight becomes more desperate, as it sure
ly will.
