New Order to Go Into Effect on DE-
vision of Milwaukee.

From Fridays Daily.
Orders have now been issued by the
officials of the Milwaukee road to have
the regular way freights run on Sun
days, the trains to leave on their usual
time and be classed as extras on those
days. 1t was predicted several days ago
that this move would be made on &C.
count of the unusually heavy business
at this time. and it is understood sim
liar orders will soon be issued for the
regular way freights on the Dubuque
division. su
The railroad business has been heav-
Ter this fall than for a number of yeprs
at this time and it is with much diff
iculty the operating department of the
| Milwaukee road is able to keep
up with the rush and keep the
trains moving on time. The heavy
stock and grain movements have kept
all of the rolling stock and train crews
going all the time.
The arrangements of having the way
freights run on Sunday will relieve a
small portion of this congestion in the
yards and leave the yards more open to
handle the extra stocks, more of which
ere run on Sundays than any other day.
The orders issued are to have the way
freights run Sundays until further no
tice, which will probably mean until the
fall rush is over at least and may be a
permanent arrangement.

d nau, 5 their fellow men. The
cA!npaign is drawing on apace, and in
ten days more will be over. The candi-
dates even now are putting the finish
ing touches on their work.
Interest Mems to center in only a
few of the contests. The ~gOvernorship
is the most talked about. and a great
deal of speculation is being INDUCED in,
with confident claims by both sides.
Men who have been around the state a
great deal and felt of the public pulse
do not hesitate to express the opinion
that Cole will be elected by a nice ma
jority.
The congressional fight is causing an
increasing interest, and the eyes of the
entire state are focused upon the Sec
ond district. Never was there such a
hard fought campaign on in the dis
trict since Lind defeated Baker. What
the outcome will be can only be decided
when the ballots have been counted.
State senator is attracting much at
t~cntiOn because of the earnest campaign
being waged by s. d. Works, the dem
ocratic nominee, to wrest a seat in the
next legislature from a district largely
and almost overwhelmingly republican.
The odds are greatly against him on
this account if on no other, and unless
all signs fail General j.. II. Baker will
seucceed A. O. Eberhart in the senate.
The only other contest where a great
deal of interest is displayed is over the
sherivalty. There a very pretty fight
is waging between erstwhile close
friends. Sheriff Williams and Chief
DOnahue nave worked in union for
| years, and after the smoke of battle
clears away will doubtless continue to
do so, but at present they are engaged
in a herculean contest. that resembles
nothing so much as a gigantic wrestling
match Sheriff Williams seems to have
n half Nelson on his opponent, and it
only remains to be seen whether it can
be broken. and the scene change by ore
of those lightning like moves so com
mon in a wrestling exhibition. Both
candidates are good fellows. but Ben
has made a good sheriff, and there
| seems to be but little dissatisfaction in
the republican ranks.

Valuable AniraIs:C ond mined By the

in Watonwan county in some years.
The animals were all valuable, being
full bloods and used for breeding pur-
poses. The Gibsons nave only been resi-

they must stand the entire loss,
amounting to over $1,000.

SHEEP RAISING PROFITABLE

That sheep raising in this section of
the country can be prolitably entered
into is evidenced by the experience of
the J.. Hubbard company OF Ma>kato,
which has given this experiment careful
attention on Il large scale.
Last July Mr.. Hubbard decided to
give the same careful attention and
bought Il large tract of land near Nary,
was Immediately stocked with 1900
Montana sheep which have been herded
upon these grounds since that time.
The sheep were loaded on the cars at
Nary yesterday for the eastern market.
In speaking of the results of this eXper-
iment, Mr.. Hubbard says:
.You have an ideal climate for the
raising of sheep and fattening of sheep
and another year we intend to make Il
number of improvements to me ranch
and in the spring will put 10000 sheep
on the place to feed during the sum
mer."
w. G. Schroeder, who was at Nary
Yesterday and witnessed the loading of
the train of twenty-nine ears of sheep,
said it was a pretty sight to see and
meant a new industry to the country
in the near future.

of feed for sheep and the farmers should
be encouraged to 90 into diversified
farming.-Bemidji Sentinel.

QUESTION RAISED.
Doubt About Meaning of New Law
Requiring Registration.

L TOM FrldaY DHITV.
A question has been raised as to the
real meaning of the law that seemingly
requires every person to get registered
before he can vote. The city attorney
believes that the law plainly makes it
0'Hwful for anyone to swear in his
e on election day, when not regis
Il previously. On the other hand,
e8unty Auditor Weaver believes that
t8a practice is the same as heretofore,
and has the opinion of attorneys to
t1is effect. 1t is. understood that "a
q cry has been submitted to the attor-
" general, in regard to the matters
blt no reply has yet been received.
