Important Changes In Law Regulating the
Sale OF Feeding Stuifs.

An act passed by the General
Assem- bly, at It's last session and
approved by the Governor on the
28th day of May, 1907, makes
some important changes In the
law regulating tile sale of Feed
ing Stuffs within the State. 1t
provides that wheat and rye bran
and middlings or any mixture
thereof, except when sold at the
mill where made, must be accom-
panied by the name and address
of the manufacturer and a guar
antee that the same is pure. Mix
ed feeds, except chop made by
grinding whole grain, and all con.
dimental feeds, must be accom-
panied by the name and address
of the manufacturer, and a state
mont of the several ingredients
of which the mixture is compos.
ed. The minimum penalty for
violating any of the provisions Of
the feeding stuffs law is raised
from $4,000 to $4,000.
An act to regulate the sale OF
Paris Green, providing for the

FOREIGN ATTACHMENT.
A Test Case Of Interest To Lawyers OF
the State.

Attorney B. F. Madore has is
sued a foreign attachment against
The American Law Book Com
pany Of New York to recover
$l15 80, the value of part of set
of law books known as the ''Uy-
clopedia of Law and Procedure"
This proceeding is of much in
terest to the legal fraternity of
Pennsylvania, as it is proposed to
determine by it whether the
American Law Book Company
has the right to rescind a con-
tract when 1t Is only partially j
completed, the agreement giving
neither party the right to rescind.
Mr.. Madore has a copy of the
agreement. Some time ago he
sold the volumes of encyclopedia
of Law and Procedure" which he
had already received, and the re-
mainder of the books were to be
shipped to the purchaser as fast
as they were received from the
American Law Book Company.
Having learned of the sale of the
books by Mr.. Madore, the Ameri.
can Law Book Company refuses
to send him any other volumes
under the contract. If the
American Law Book Company
has the right TO act arbitrarily in
this matter, then should any sub
sdriber die before the completion
of the set of the Encyclopedia of
Law and Procedure" whatever
he had paid would be loss to his
estate, an incomplete set having
no value. There are hve sub
scrlbers for the books in Bedford
aud all are interested in the tiaa
result of the suit. Bedford Ga

Further Good R. R. News

The telegram from Mir. H. D. Key
 holds at Seattle, published in yester- days PROSPECTOR, contained the es- sence of the most important move
 ment. so far as the construction of the Alaska Home Railway is concerned, of any tbing which has thus far transpired
 in this connection, with the possible exception of the first meeting :n Me Knley hall. when the original sub scriptions were made which started the grand and initial movement, for
 the building of the Railway It clearly indicates that since Mir. Key holds all rival in Seattle. he has let no grass
 grew under his feet, but has moved
 swiftly along the business lines. in common with that tireless energy which has been so exempl!fied locally
 during the past two weeks The real
 meat of the telegram means. that Val leziaus have set the pace financially ard by their patriotism to home indus try and necessity. so indicated their
 substantial belief in Mr Reynolds. and the project which he outlined, that he has gone to Seattle buuyed up by that spirit of confidence. which cannot and will not be downed. The telegram al
 so meant that the work of construction
 will be pushed to the limit of human energy and that " tn the arrival of the Santa Bai bara, tn. first tangible evil dence to those who have not as yet been out over the trai,. will be un- loaded from the steamer. Rails. en- zines. workmen and all the requisite
 necessities for the completion and euuippiug of the road. for the first section will arrive aud be unloaded right here in the city
 The financial assistance which Mr.
 Reynolds is receiving in Seattle is also another source of encouragement. and
 means that. not only will the line be
 built to the summit, but that much can
 be depended upon from this direction for the future extension of the Railway to Fairbanks. and other interior points.
 + furthe- denotes that the business
 men of Seattle are in accord with the
 spirit and determination 'o build. equip
 and run a railroad. and not have the
 District bottled up any longer.
 As whole. the telegram was One to l inspire confidence d enthusiasm and to encourage the people of Valdez and
 vicinity to give the officials of the Alaska Home Railway, their entire
 moral and financial support. Unques- l tionab bly, little later. as soon as it can 1 be properly arranged. the people of the 1 interior and Fairbanks will be called
 upon for financial assist lance in the
 way of purchasing stock, and assur-
 auces have been received. that the
 requests wlll not be made in vain. i Fairbanks wants railroad as badly as i Valdez. and when the merchants and
 the residents there realize that the
 opportunity is at hand. they will be
 just as ready to subscribe. and just as
 enthusiastic, as those of our own little
 city;. The first step which will indicate
 sincerity, and ability to construct
 railway. will shortly be in evidence,
 and after that the problems will be
 easy ones.

Towards evening the insane man

Matchemas is a young man, only

SLEEPY EYE MERCHANT ACQUITTED
Befkner Wins Out in the Case
Brought Against Him by
TrayeIinsman Doyle.

At Sleepy Eye on Friday Edward F.
Berkner, the merchant who was ac-
cused of assault by Henry F. Doyle,
the Mankato travelling man, was ac-
quilted after trial that created more
interest than anything that has trans
pirsd Ia our neighboring town IN
humber of years.
The suit against Berkner was
brought under the state law and Coun-
ty Attorney Erickson appeared IN be-
half of the complaining witness.
Berkner was represented by Senator
Geo. w. Somerville
The evidence developed that Doyle
had sold Berkner twenty-five baskets
of grapes and billed them at 2o cents.
When Doyle appeared a week later
and endeavored to collect the bill,
Berkner insisted that the purchasing
price was only q cents. Adispute
followed and when Berknef aiTSily
paid the bill as presented by Doyle he
ordered Doyle out OF store. Doyle
refusing to go until he got ready,
Berkner and his clerks proceeded to
eject him.
In the struggle which accompanied
the ejectment Doyle is said to have
been roughly handled, and naturally
his feelings we're deeply wounded.
