it has secured. We very much doubt
however, if the commission has dis
covered anything worth while. If it
wants to dig up coal trust, let it get
busy with the coal carry ing and mine
operating railroads. The proper
treatment of disease of the human
system is to treat to eradicate the
cause, and not to give slight tempor-
ary relief by administering an opiate
to lessen the realization of the effect
There is coal trust, but the commits
sion has not gotten within sight of it
as yet--not if it is smelling around
among the local dealers.
This writer is in position to know
something of the coal buciness. Dur
ing the past three seasons we have,
as manager of a farmers elevator
dealing in grain and coal, purchased
several thousand tons of coal. During
the time we have been in the business
not word has been said to us about
the price charged consumers by any
one of the half-dozen companies of
whom we have bought coal. Neither
has the price charged consumers had
any effect on our ability to secure coal
from the wholesalers. The retail price
in De Smet has varied at different
times. Some of the time one dealer
has sold below the other, and at near
ly all times in the past three years
the retail price in De Smet has been
less than that charged in surround
ing towns. Ii the wholesalers want
ed to control the retail prices, they
certainly would have made the desire
known and stated their terms.
That the wholesalers at the docks
and the miners in illinois have an un-
derstanding as to wholesale prices
almost any retailer can tell you. At
different times and with different com.
panies we have tried to secure a re-
duction in price by offering one com
pany the whole of our business, but
invariably we have received the same
answer, 1T cannot be done" The
fact seems to be that the coal COM
panies selling to the retail dealers are
only commission firms who contract
with the mine operators at such terms
as the operators may desire to make.

THAT COAL TRUST.

The dispatches state that the inter-
state commerce commission has an
nounced the discovery of a coal trust
as the result of it Investigations in
Minnesota and North Dakota, and
that the commission expects to dis
cover like condition in South Dako-
ia. The trust is said to be combin-
alton of wholesale and retail dealers.
We cannot dispute the commission
because we do not know the evidence

F.P. HARDY WINS IN
COMMISSIONER CONTEST.

The case of Timothy Healy VS..
Francis p. Hardy was decided by
Judge Whiting and opinions filed Sat
day.
This was an action brought by Healy
to contest the election of Hardy to
the office of county commissioner in
the 5th district, comprising Spirit
Lake, De Smet, and Mathews town
ships, and De Smet city.
The action was submitted to thu
court upon an agreed statement of
facts by the attorneys of the parties,
and the evidence of two witnesses
called by the plaintiff.
The findings and opinion of the
court occupy eight pages of close
typewriter matter, containing quota
tions from opinions of several supreme
courts in deciding like cases, and is
too long for US to publish entire.
The court found that, from the
statement of facts and the evid-
ence in the case, that both
parties to the case were Qualified
electors of said commissioner district,
and both of them eligible to the Of
flee in question. There is no allega-
tion or claim of fraud in relation to
this matter" As 10 the nomination
of the parties, in brief, the court found
that Hardy was nominated by dele
gates to the republican county con.
vention from the different precincts
comprising the 5th commissioner dis
trict; that the county convention as
whole did not take any step toward
such nomination, and that the nom.
ination of Mr.. Hardy was certified by
officers of the district convention, who

walks in August. They get as far
from the work they pretend to be
looking after as is possible. The in
terstate commerce commission is do
ing the same thing in looking for a
coal trust They must go where the
trust exists and not look for it in the
consumers ash berrel.
The coal trust is composed of the
coal owning and coal carrying rail
roads, either in their own names Or
subsidiary companies. 1t will take
absolute government ownership Of
those roads to bust the trust. All
efforts in other directions are useles.

The interstate commerce commits
sion has decided, after thorough in
vestigation, that in North Dakota
there is coal shortage because there
is car shortage. Apparently it was
only the commission that was inclined
to the belief that the shortage of coal
existed because of ''longage" of cars.
The investigation has been good
thing if it did nothing more than to
destroy the allusion under which the
commission had been laboring. Mean
time the coal famine goes merrily on.

were different than the offices of the
county convention.
As to the nomination of Mr.. Healy
the court found that he was nominat-
eel on the same day by a county con
vention of the democratic party, and
that certificate to tha5 effect was pre-
pared and offered to the county audi
tor at his abstract office. The auditor
in good faith, advised that the certif-
cate was insufficient; that thereupon
the certificate was withdrawn and was
never afterwards filed or offered for
filing. The court states that it did
not appear in the evidence, but was
stated in court, that another certifi
cate was made, presented, and filed
showing the nomination of Healy to
have been the same as that of Hard Y
The court found that it was admit
ted that the auditor had complied
with the law relative to the publish
ing of nominations prior to election,
and that the ballots were printed in
due form. 1t was also admitted that
at the election Mr.. Healy, the plain
tiff, received 432 votes, and Mr.. Hard Y
the defendent, 1908 otes, and
that the county auditor had prepared
a certificate of election to Mr.. Hardy.
After discussing the question at
length and giving reasons therefor,
the court says, in regard to the first
certificate of nomination of Mr. Healy:
''It certainly cannot be held that such
certificate was ever filed"
Thus the court holds that the GER
tificate of nomination of Mr.. Healy,
if any was made, was in the same
form and manner as that of Mr.. Hardy
and that Mr.. Healy Is therefore
in no position to question the nomi-
nation OF MI. Hardy.
The court then takes up the matter
of the publication of nomination and
the printing of the ballots, which are
found to be in accordance with the
law The court holds that the notice
of nominations published according
to law is notice to the world that such
nominations are, or claimed to be,
legally made, and to have a legal
right to place on the ballot. The
nominations are published so that, if
errors exist, corrections may be made,
and where errors do exist the law
provides remedy. The court holds
that notice having been given, an in

The polical enemies of the president
within his own party are making
much over the discharge of the color

The president sent an assistant attor

FELL INTO CELLAR.
Woman Slightly Injured By Falling Through Trap Door.


 Men in the employ of the He'll mann Brewing Co were engaged yes tcrday afternoon in putting kegs of beer into the cellar of Patrick ]. Sta pleton's saloon, corner of Cherry and North Main streets. The cellarway was wide. open and keg after keg was dumped in, one man standing on the sidewalk and another in the eel lar. The cellar door was necessarily open and at length all the beer was in. The man on the sidewalk then went into the cellar to assist the other man, and he left, the cellar door open, but placed keg on each side as protection.
 Very soon along came Mrs Julia Cullum of 23O Cherry street. She walked very slowly, 1t is said, be- cause she is in the neighborhood of 70 years of age. She did not see the warning keg and into the cellar she fell. The two men below went to her assistance immediately and found she was not very badly injured, but she received a severe shock and a shaking up. Her head was cut, too. Dr Kelly was called upon and he had her taken to her home immediately. Mrs Cullum lives with her daughter, Mrs John Lyman.
