GREAT NORTHERN STOCK
Legal Battle Orer Proposed Issue
of 500, 100000

I St. Paul, Jan. S.-The legal conflict started
By Minnesota to determine the necessity for the
issue of the proposed S60000,0o0 worth Of
Great Northern Railroad stock began in the
Ramsey County District Court to-day. The
state claims that the Great Northern Railroad.
IN promoting the issue OF stock. failed to take
into consideration state law which provides
that due application shall first he made for
hearing before the State Railroad and Ware
house Commission to the necessity for the
issue and the purpose for which the money is TO
be expended before such an issue be made.
The state in its bill OF complaint AYERS that IL
such an issue of stock be made it will greatly in
crease freight and passenger rates in the state
and that the patrons Of the railroad will have
TO bear the burden of the increase.
The Great Northern. in fits answer set forth
that IT had the right issue this stock by
authority Of the charter of the Minneapolis &
st. Cloud Railroad, granted by the Territory Of
Minnesota in 1866 and by amendatory
thereto passed in 1863 in which the Minneapolis
& st. Cloud Railroad received the right to issue
one or more classes Of preferred stock in an
amount not to exceed $50 100000. The answer
claims that all outstanding stock is preferred
stock, and that of It's common stock has
been issued. II further claims that all of the
S6o.000,000 stock Will be preferred and none of II
common stock.
the railroad purposed increase its capital
stock, and that the question was submitted TO
Attorney General Chds, who advised the COM
mission that the railroad had the lawful right
10 increase its capital stock without the con-
sent of the commission, and that two issues or
$4,000 600 followed that opinion.
Attorney General Young, in opening his arsu-
ment. said that the right of the commission TO
give authority for the stock issue went to the
vitals of the situation in respect TO the protec-
ton which the state wished 10 grant to the peo-
PIE. The defendant had issued S25.G00,0oO
worth of stock year ago and absolutely moth
ing had been heard of what had been done with
the proceeds. He said 1t did not lie in the
mouth of the attorney for the railroad to say
that because the law had been violated in
instance ii might be disregarded in another.
The law, he said, had never been repealed, and
he did not believe Attorney General Childs had
given the commission such opinion
said to have been given. The records OF the At
torney Generals office did not reveal that such
an opinion had been given. and If II had such
an opinion would not be binding, and the rail-
road was playing the baby act
Mr.. Begg, for the Great Northern. said the
road had no wish to violate any law and it had
the same rights under the law as any other citi-
zen. He argued that the road subject TO
the different commissions, and not OF them
had ruled with respect to returns on capital
stock. The commission. he said, an arbi-
trary authority, subject 10 review: the law
was unconstitutional II is trespass on the

JACK o'BRIEN FoULED

Los ANGELES, Feb. 2z.-Phfladel-
phia Jack O'Brien was fouled by Abb
dull Malgan IN the fifth round tonight
and so badly injured that he was un-
able to continue the fight. The clubs
physician examined O'Brien and re-
fused TO allow him to go on The ref
cree awarded the fight to O'Brien and
declared all bets off. o'Brien had
agreed to stop three men-Abdul NAL
gan, Jim Tremble and George Brown.
in six rounds each. He took MaIRan
first. The fight was huge farce ali
the way through. O'Brien battered the
Turk all over the ring and had him
covered with blood. The Turk did not
strike a decisive blow that landed un-
til the one with which he fouled
O'Brien. O'Brien had Malgan in a
corner and was hammering him with
vicious rights when the Turk swung a
wild right that struck O'Brien low in
the abdomen The Philadelphia sank
to his knees holding his stomach and
gasping for breath. The crowd re-
fused to leave the pavilion when the
announcement was made and congre-
gated about the ringside.
O'Brien's injury, while severe. is not
serious. He was assisted to his dress
ing room, where he was taken with
vomiting spells and continued sick for
several hours. Jim Flynn of Pueblo
and Jim Tremble went on for four
rounds to assist in pacifying the crowd.
No decision was given.

OAKLAND, Feb. 2z.-Candidates for
succession to the vacant postmastership
Oh Oakland are not numerous up to
date. Assistant Postmaster Paul ].
Schafer is among the formidable as
pirants.
Schafer was chosen by Dargie's
bondsmen to be acting postmaster, that
right of selection resting with the men
who had gone on the bond. They were
William j. Dingee, John c. Adams, L.
G. Morehouse and w G. PaImanteer.
For many years Schafer has been in
public life in this city. His services
as secretary of the Oakland Board of
Health for eight years were followed
by his appointment as secretary for
Victor H. Metcalf when that official was
first elected Representative in Congress.
Schafer was appointed assistant post
master under w. H. Friend. succeeding z
the late Charles o. Alexander Jr. He
has served six years.
Many prominent men have sent tele-
grams to Senator Perkins and Repre-
sentative Knowland indorsing Schafer
Other candidates whose names have
been put forward are Stephen T. Gage
fer many years one of the political
pillars of the old Central Pacific Rail-
road structure; George w. Arper, F. r.
Porter and Emil Nusbaumer The lat
ter's name, it is believed here, was pre-
sented by George w. Reed, his former
law partner, and close political asso-
ciate OF Representative Knowland. Ii
Nusbaumer is in the fight as an active
candidate his presence is formidable
from the political aspect. George Reed
is in Washington with Edgar f. Adams
on business connected with the Owens
River water fight. He was there when
news was sent of Postmaster Oar
gie's death.
The appointment would come through
Representative Knowland in all likeli-
hood, with the approval of Senator Per-
kins. The Office is Presidential one
that is one to which the President ap-
points, but custom has given the
patronage to the district Representa-
tive. Senator Perkins must needs be
consulted as Oakland is his home city.
An appointment is expected within a
short time
]. w. Evans OF East Oakland has an
nounced that the use of his name in the
postoffice contest is unwarranted.

THE PENALTY OF OVERWORK.

Work has been mans lot since the
creation, but a day of toll should not
have its penalty of pain. Why is it,
then, you ask, that backache SO often
follows? 1t is because the modern
tendency is to oyerwork, to tear
down faster than nature can rebuild.
An unnatural strain is thrown upon
the vital organs, and more especially
upon the kidneys. which have the
work of hltering the blood free of
waste and poison.
The heavy tax of overwork-the
strain upon the back that is so COM
mon to many trades and occupations
is too great. The kidneys begin to
fail in their work, and there Is a
double danger to health. The poison
Gus matter collects in the system. and
the kidneys themselves beginsto break
down.
Pain in the back is only a warning
of trouble in the kidneys An IN
fammation has set in, and dis
ordered condition of the urine soon
becomes apparent.
Too much or too little urine, with
q. constant desire to void the secre-
tions, any noticeable deviation from
the normal color; the appearance of a
