CUT Off SPECIAL RATES
Latest Decision Of the Western Pas
senger Association.

FROM SATURDAY l'dItN.
Except for special rates provided
for by tariffs already on file at Wash
ington, the lines in the Western Pas:
senger association, after this, month,
have agreed not to authorize the sale
of special tickets in states where 2-cent
laws have been passed. In view of the
fact that rates to most conventions this
year generally have been agreed upon
the action will not have much effect to
any great extent, but some of the organ
izations will suffer.
So far the Western Passenger asso-
citation, it is stated, has not agreed Oh a
rate for the national convention of the
Independent Order of Odd Fellows which
meets in st. Paul, Sept. IA to 81. 1t is
claimed that this convention is second
in Importance to that of encampment of
the Grand Army of the Republic in
point of numbers. From attendance at
other places. ST. Paul should have $4,000
to 100000 visitors. but if favorable rates
are not granted the attendance will fall
considerably below that mark. This is
the only gathering of any Importance
which is booked for st. Paul this year
and the st. Paul citizens and local
lodges of the order are making elaborate
arrangements for the entertainment OF
the delegates.
The states which have put in 2-cent
fares are bounded by Chicago, st. Louis,
Kansas City, Omaha> and st. Paul,
known as the Eastern committee terri
tory of the Western Passenger assocla-
ton. Most of the delegates will come
from the East, having to pass through
Chicago, traversing states where the re-;
duced fare has been ordered by legal en-
actment.
Long distance tourist, homeseekers
and similar forms of tickets, as provided
by tariffs on file at Washington, VIII
continue, provided that the fares be no
less than those in effect before the rate
laws were put into effect

Secretary Day So AnnOun-
ces at Omaha.
JOHNSON, HOWEVER, DENIES
Bryan's Territory Invaded to Make
the Initiative Announce
ment.

Omaha, Neb., June Ex-Governor
Johnson of Minnesota is to be an active
candidate for the presidential nominal
ton on the democratic ticket next year,
so says Frank a. Day of st. Paul, pri-
vate secretary of Governor johnson, who
has been in Omaha comforting with some
friends of Mr.. Johnson.
I'VE hear great deal about Mr..
Bryan being candidate again. said
Mr.. Day, but we of the North Star
state want to say that we have man
who will be presented to the next ma
tional convention for that honor. Gov
ernor johnson has been mentioned many
times in this connection and has been
taken seriously by greater part of the
press of all shades of opinion all over
the country.
''Of course, Minnesota is for Johnson.
The governor himself has held back and
declined to make his candidacy known
until this time.
Il am authorized, however, to say
that he is in the race for good.
Il have just returned from a trip to
the Pacific coast, stopping and meeting
men prominent in the democratic party
in several states. In no case have l
heard anything except encouragement
and | believe that he will be able to win
out. S7ttUs
Governor Johnson's democracy is
sound in every proposition that the
democratic party stands for. His rec
ord as governor of Minnesota is suffi-
cient to place him in the, front rank
of reformers and his popularity is not
in the state alone. Wisconsin is ready
to support him when the people of that
state know that he is in earnest. In
fact, the entire northwest is for him.
His activity began with his member
ship in the Minnesota legislature and has
continued ever since. He has been twice
elected governor of our state and is the
only democrat on whom that honor has
been ever conferred.
Il don't presume the democrats of Ne
braska will take this seriously but l am
sure they will stand for fair play"
Secretary Day left for st. Paul last
night.
He spent some time with Colonel j. }.
Ryder of this city who was a member
of the Minnesota legislature with Cover
nor johnson and who will have an ac
tive part i'm Johnson's Nebraska cam
paign.
The governors secretary is returning
from the Pacific coast where he has been
looking over the governors political
fences.
When Governor johnson was called up
by telephone at his apartments in the
Angus last evening, he said that Mr..
Day could not have made such a state
ment.
''There is no foundation for the report,
whatever, said Governor Johnson.

MAY FACE SERIOUS CHARGE
Point Of a PIN May Be the Evidence In
Murder Case.

Long Praiiie. June 22-Interest in
the murder of Annie kintop, which &C.
CURED two years ago near Darling, the
been cleared up, is revived by the pub
lieation of the following story in To-
cal paper:
That truth is stranger than fiction
is well illustrated by the developments
in Morrison county murder case.
About two years ago a young woman
was killed near Randall in particular
ly horrible and brutal manner. She
had been employed as servant at
Little Falls and had taken the train
home for a short visit.
While passing from the station along
the road to her home she was attacked
and murdered. In the struggle, which
must have been terrible one, Judging
from the condition of the ground, she
stabbed her assailant with a hatpin,
which was broken in the encounter.
Not sign OF clue to the murderer
was left and during all of the time
which has elapsed not the slightest evil
dence leading to the probable guilt OF
anyone has been found. 1t was thought
for a time that two negroes who had
been seen about the place had murdered
the girl, and the authorities spent
months in looking them up. Suspicious
characters were traced as far as the
Pacific coast, but without avail.
Shortly before the murder the young
woman had been seen with certain
young man. This young man was ac-
tive in his efforts to locate the guilty
person and accompanied the sheriff
west for the purpose of attempting to
identify suspects.
Two weeks ago this young man was
taken with an attack of appendicitis.
He was removed to Little Falls hos
pital, where an operation was per-
formed. In his abdomen the surgeons
found the broken end of woman's
hatpin.
The young man is still in the hospital
recovering from the effects of the oper-
alton. His arrest by the sheriff as he
leaves his cot will be the first intima-
tion he has that the broken hatpin has
been discovered &ss &ir

tention to every duty was rare trait
in his character and made our brothers
usefulness of very high degree.
He not only preserved his reputation
but kept himself free from the breath
of suspicion. His purity of thought
yoked with remarkably well balanced
mind enabled him to enjoy in marked
degree the confidence with all with whom
he came in contact.
The final results of this life that has
been lived among us can only be known
when time shall be no more; for with
him as with each of us an influence en-
anated from his life that will ever widen
until borne to the shores of eternity.
Esteem and affection ever follow him
who keeps ''the wilderness of his SOUP
as did our friend. A good man has in
deed fallen, and it is tit that we should
mourn him.
Our hearts sympathies 90 out for
these bereaved ones and especially for
you dear sister, the beloved companion
of him who has gone forth.
May the loving arms of our father
encircie you, and may you be brought
close to the heart of Infinite Love, and
there may your heart finish the solace
and rest which he alone can bestow; and
may you and yours enjoy his comfort
ing presence through the days stretch
ing out before, is my prayer.

FACED AN UGLY GUN
Attorney w. e. Oampier Of St. Paul
Has Exciting ExperIence.

st. Paul, June DIV. Z. Dampier,

agent of the road presented the voucher
for the amount to Mr.. Dampier in the
presence of Grove and Charles Acker.
After the agent of the road had left the
office the client and the parties con-
cerned began to discuss the amount to
which each was entitled. Grove, so the
story goes, drew revolver and point
ing it at Dampier took the voucher from
the lawyers hand.
Dampier ran fro mthe building to the
county attorneys office brethless. He
told his story to the assistant prosecut-
ing attorney and a warrant was issued
for Grove on charge of grand larceny.
Grove went to clothing store, bought
a suit of clothing and cashed the vouch-
err. He received ii check from the firm
for $l.100. after making purchases

GRANT ARRESTED
EmpIoye OF Mil Co. Skips Out But
Does Not Get Far.
From Tuesdays Daily.

icTOW y Dduy.
A warrant was issued today for the
arrest of Frank +. Grant, on the charge
of having skipped without paying a
board bill of 50 to Mrs. George Wagon.
He was apprehended at Dodge Center
last night at the instance of Chief Os-
ten, and will be brought back to Man
kato. He is a party who was recently
imported from Philadelphia to take the
position of timer at the Mankato
Mills Co. Yesterday he asked for a
little advance in his wages to pay his
board bill, as he said, and was paid
So more than was due him by Munsun
Burton. Instead of paying his bill, it
is said that he left for parts unknown.
1t was learned that he bought a ticket
for Chicago over the Chicago Great
Western road. Efforts to locate him in
st. Paul were unavailing, but the mar
shall at Dodge Center had better luck
and locked him up. His getting money
in advance of what was due him did
not constitute a crime, so he was held
for skipping his board bill.
