Question Validity of MinnesC-
ta's Rate Legislation.

ST. Paul. June lon the ground
that the new commodity freight rate
law, in effect June ] in Minnesota,
and the 2-cent passenger rate law,
which went into effect May l, are in
contravention of the provisions of the
Constitution of the United States
suits asking for an order restoring
the old rates were begun in the fed.
eral court during the day.
Judge Lochren issued a restraining
order in connection with an order to
the railroads to show cause at 10
4. m. July II why temporary injunc-
tion should not issue in accordance
with the prayer of the bill The re-
straining order does not have the i'm
mediate effect of restoring the old
will prevail until the further order of
the court.
The suits are filed by stockholders
of eight railroads doing interstate
business in Minnesota. In the bills
the railways, as well as the state at
torney general and members of the
railway and warehouse commission,
together with various shippers repre-
senting thousands of railway patrons
in the Northwest, are named as de-
PENDANTS.
In effect the railroads are suing
themselves with the object of testing
the validity of the new commodity
freight rate law and the 2-cent pas
senger rate law.
The charges in each complaint are
that the new freight and passenger
rate laws enacted by the Minnesota
legislature are confiscatory in nature

Dairy Talk Of Today.

The dairyman who has not been in
the habit of testing his cows will be
surprised to learn how many nonpay-
ing animals a test will disclose The
man who commences to test his cows
begins to improve his herd at once
and on an intelligent basis. He knows
what his cows are doing and what
they must do to be profitable. Guess
work will not do.
Make Higher Grade Butter.
We are still losing vast sums Of mon
ey that could be very easily accounted
for If we were only more skilled as
whole along the lines of cleanliness
in the caring for our milk and more
skilled butter makers, says writer In
American Agrlculturist. When we
come to realize that the ten, twelve and
fifteen cent butter has cost us as much
per pound to manufacture as twenty
five cent butter we are able to see
great room for Improvement The
same material that results in the cheap
butter would, if properly handled, man
ufacture the fancy article. Remember
quality is the keynote Of dairying
Lack of Quality.

Tied to the Poor Cow.
Tied to the poor COW, That Is the
way Professor Wilbur j. Fraser of the

the position Of the American dairyman.

Fraser In a recent Issue Of Kimtairs

dition. He is not chained to a fellow

DEATH OF PRINCE IMPERIAL.
ZuIus Paid Tribute to Bravery Of Louis
Napoleon.

How Prince Louis Napoleon was
killed by the Zulus June 1, 1879, Is
told graphically in the book by Sit
Evelyn Wood, who took part in that
war. The little party which the prince
accompanied was surprised and at
tackled. Sir Evelyn writes: 1.-THE
Zulus in pursuit ran first after the two
white soldiers who were on the TANKS
three or four men, headed by Labanga
followed the prince. His horse had
jumped just as he was mounting, and
his sword fell out Of its scabbard. He
was very active, and was vaulting on
his horse in motion when the wallet
on the front Of the saddle broke away
and he fell to the ground, being at this
time only 60 yards behind the Grit
ish) fugitives. There were seven men
who actually fought the prince. When
Langalebele, pursuing the fugitives
first saw Labanga, he was running
away from the prince, who was rush
ing at him. Labanga, crouching In
the grass, threw an assagai at him
The first assagai struck in the princes
thigh, and, withdrawing it from the
wound, he kept his foes at bay for
some minutes. In the natives words:
He fought like lion; he fired two
shots, but without effect; and I threw
an assagai at him which struck him
as ! said at the time, but always
allowed Labanga's claim to have killed
him, for his assagai hit the prince In
the left shoulder, a mortal wound"
