This community was greatly shocked
last week when the sad news of the
death of Mr.. Hugh E. James was an

illness as he had been ailing but a few
days. Mr.. James, as it was published
in The Free Press last spring, had the
misfortune to lose his house and nearly
all of the furniture by fire. He had been
very busy all summer replacing the
burned structure with very fine new
residence. The family had lived but a
few weeks in their beautiful new home
when death came and shattered all hopes
and plans of the future, and took away
"a beloved husband, kind father, faith
full Christian and good, accommodate
ing neighbor. The bereaved family have
the sympathy of the community which
was proven the day of the funeral. Not
less than one hundred teams were in
the procession. The Jerusalem church,
o: which Mr.. James was member,
was overcrowded. Short services were
held and the remains were taken to the
cemetery where they were laid to rest.
Rev. d. Edwards will preach the me-
mortal sermon Sunday afternoon at two
o'clock, Nov. 4, at Jerusalem church.
H. j. Roberts and family, Mr.. and

Punctured Johnson's Bubble

Judge W. B. Douglas has taken the
breeze out of Governor Johnson's sails
and demonstrates, just as The Free
Press claimed Stone weeks ago, that the
the timber trespass eases. In speech
delivered at Caledonia Judge Douglas
arraigned the democratic administration
for mixing the board of control in poll
tics and for refusing to indorse Chief
Justice Start. He showed by record evil
dence that as early as May Ii, 1908,
Auditor Iverson collected double and
treble damages from timber trespassers
and that this custom was by no means
unusual long time before Mr.. johnson
left his editorial chair in st. Peter.
The Judge said that while the state
board of equalization, appointed by
johnson, raised the assessment in st.
Louis county little less than nine mil
lions, and in Itasca trifle over one
million, Mr. Schwab, president of the
steel trust, made affidavits that that
concern owns properties in st. Louis
county alone aggregating seven hundred
millions; further, that j. j. Hill but
recently sold his mines to the United
States Steel company, which he him
self estimates worth many hundred mil
lions. Mr.. Iverson at the meeting
stated that the Mahoning mine alone
is worth about twenty-five millions.

BROTHER IN WATt RviLlE.
Thomas Worlein Burned to Death,
Was in an Accident.

Helena, Oct. 24.-Only few charred
portions of the body of Thomas Wor-
lein, the Northern Pacific conductor who
was killed and burned in his caboose
at Logan early yesterday morning when
Passenger Train No. dashed into his
train. have been rescued from the ashes
of the caboose, which took fire and was
consumed. The remains of the man are
held at Livingston pending the arrival
of his brother, Julius Worlein OF Wa
terville, Mimi, when arrangements Tor
the funeral under the auspices OF the
O. r. C. and o. R. 7. and the Elks VIII
be perfected.

raised farm lands in Otter Tail county
over three million and in Clay county
over one-half a million, thus indicating
that the boosted raise of these mines
was entirely too low, and that they
ought to have been raised five or ten
times that much.
Mr.. Douglas suggested that in view
of these facts, if Governor Johnson is
entitled to throw bouquets at himself
for saving one hundred thousand a year
for the state on salary of $4,000, then
Mr.. Cole may save the state at least
half million on the same salary by
doing his full duty.

Turned Tables on Governor johnson

w. R. Percival, who represents ST..
Paul wholesale house and whose bust
ness takes him all over the state, is
enthusiastic over the political situation.
''The greatest change imaginable has
come about in the last few weeks" said
he to The Duluth News Tribune, and it
was due to a very simple fact.
"When the campaign first started
the democrats made great ado over
the alleged fact that Governor johnson
had a definite stand on the railroad
question, while the republicans were
afraid to touch the issue. Before Mr..
Cole took the stump this sentiment had
some standing.
GAS soon as Mr.. Cole began his cam
paign the exact conditions were imme-
diately apparent. Mr.. Cole has made
the railroad issue the feature of his
talks. He has told the people just
where he stands and announced the
program in terms which cannot be mis-
understood. On the other hand it is Gov
ernor johnson who has lodged the is
sue Mr.. Cole says new laws are need
ed to control these corporations. Gov
ernor johnson says everything is lovely
at it is.
''The people see now which is afraid
to meet the issue face to face and Gov
ernor johnson can yell for Roosevelt
until he is black in the face, but the
voters are not fooled"

OLD MURDER CASE AT METZ
Proprietor of Cafe Arrested on Charge
of Letting Former Prisoner
starvc.

HAMBURG, Jan. 2s.-(Specia Cabegram
to The Bee. lin consequences OF an anony-
nous letter received by the police of Metz
the proprietor of a cafe at Saarberg has
been arrested in connection with a curious
incident which caused great excitement in
that town some eight years ago and which
romans mystery to this day.
A constable had taken a man into Gus
tody one night and. as It was too late to
take him to the police station, he locked
him up in a town shelter that had long
been disused. When the constable re-
turned in the morning he found not only
the prisoner but corpse in an advanced
stage OF decomposition. On inquiry 1t
was found to be the body of wandering
musician who had suddenly disappeared
some months before. But how he got
into the shelter and how he died re-
mained a mystery. The cafe proprietor,
who has now been arrested, was former
member of the police force. The anony-
nous letter which is supposed to have
been written by the prisoner. intimates
that the constable arrested the musician
and after locking him up either forgot
about the matter or brutally allowed him
to die.

FRUIT RATES ARE REDUCED
Refrigerator Lines Gut open Rate and
Agree to Abolish the
Rebates.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2s.--As a result
of a three days conference between J. s.
Leeds. representing the refrigerator car
service of the Santa Fe road, and Robert
Graham. as Pacific coast representative
Of the Armour refrigcrating service. re-
duction OF rates on declduous fruits from
California points 10 the eastern markets
has been agreed upon. The reduction will
take effect at the beginning of the coming
season of the deciduous fruit shipping.
From Sacramento and Antioch to Chi
cago a reduction of $40 per car is made;
from the same California points TO New
York a cut of $3.50 is made. From San
Joaquin valley points, such as Stockton,
Fresno, Hanford and Bakerheld. the rate
to Chicago is reduced to $40 and to New
York from the same points to $3.50. thus
practically effccting an equalization OF
rates from points in the Sacramento and
the San Joaquin valley to eastern points.
One of the most important features OF
this new compact is a clause providing that
no rebates or other special concessions
shall be granted to any fruit shipper in
California, and that the reduced rates shall
be strictly maintained
