IGNORES THE ORDER.
Minnesota's Attorney General
Defies Federal Court.
ON WRIT OF HABEAs CORPUS

viii Endeavor to Get the Rate Cases
Before the Supreme Court of the
United States-vioIates Injunction
of Federal Tribunal.
ST. Paul, Sept. 25.-Can federal
judges tie the hands of state officials
to prevent them from enforcing a
state law which is repugnant to the
federal Constitution? Upon the theo
ry that they may do so Judge Loeb
rem enjoined Attorney General Young
from taking any action to enforce the
railroad rates prescribed by chapter
232, laws Of 1907, known as the com
modify rate law, pending the decision
of the rate cases on the merits.
Attorney General Young, however,
being anxiMs to test Judge Lochren's
theory, has placed himself deliberate
ly in contempt by bringing mandamus
proceedings to compel the Northern
Pacific railroad to adopt the pre-
scribed commodity freight rates. Judge
Bum of the district court of Ramsey
county allowed the attorney generals
petition for An alternative writ OF
mandamus, which directs the North
ern Pacific railroad officials to show
cause at special term Of the district
court Saturday, Oct. S, why they
Should not be compelled to adopt the
rates in question and in all other re.
1,-;+I, Y,rnrici0rc nf
chapter 232. .a...- .... ....u....
Would Test the Injunction.
The Injunction issued out of the
federal court undoubtedly will be a
sufficient answer to the alternative
writ Of mandamus The attorney
general does not expect that the dis
trict court will order the respondents
to give effect to the rates in question
while the federal injunction is in
force. His object is to test the va
state courts, but in the only tribunal
competent to render an ultimate de-
cision, the supreme court of the Unit
ed States. ...... .......lE..
Mr.. Young's object is to get himself
arrested for contempt and then sue
out writ of habeas corpus. How
Butler & Mitchell, attorneys for the
respondent railroad company, said
that they had not decided what action
if any, will be taken in respect to this
move of the attorney general. Mr.
Young probably will be cited to ap
pear before Judge Lochren to SHOW
cause why he should not be adjudget
in contempt for violating the injunc
ton by beginning mandamus pro
ceedings The court will probably ad
Judge him in contempt and sentence
him to imprisonment or to pay fine
If a fine is imposed by the court in
stead Of imprisonment the attorne,
general will accomplish his purpose b.
breaking into Jail, or at least getting
into the custody of the marshal, which
technically is the same thing, by re
fusing to pay the fine. He will the1
apply for a writ Of habeas corpus ant
when this is denied he will appeal II
the United States supreme court.

wings OF spotless white. The Spirit Of
Evil whispered in my ear
The old duke stopped as if the voice
were speaking to him &gain. His ewes
became bloodshot, his hair rose on his
head with horror, his teeth chartered
with alright, and when he continued his
voice was almost a shrek.
Il went to the lamp guarded bv the
angel with the white wings, who looked
at me sorrowfnlIy: but the angel with
the black wings still whispered in nv
cars / saw nothing; | cid not wish 10

the wing of the black angel and dipped
it in the brightly flaming lamp and took
from it the oil, drop by drop, and poured
it into mine. My flame became glitter
ing and red as blood; the other paled
but preserved still the brightness Of a
star. But when the drop of oil was left
in it the angel that guarded it spread
his white wings and would have STAYED
me, but an angel with pearly wings and
bearing golden sword suddenly APP
peared.
Let this human being do according to
his will-God win Judge him. it said.
Il took the last drop of oil! Then
fear seized me. What lamp is this?' /
asked, pointing to the poor flame that
was ready to expire, and the voice re-
piled:
IL is the soul of your beloved SON.
AT the same moment the clear flame
of the lamp died out; che white angel
took its last breath in his wings and flew
away, uttering as he went cry of dis
tress. The Spirit of Evil replied with
cry of triumph.
Il awoke frozen with horror
In my chamber lay two bodies
crushed, unacceptable. My son, in
formed by his fiancee, had tried to pro-
tect her in her flight, and my criminal
snare had destroyed them BOTH 1t was
Christmas twenty years ago."
Saying this he made sign to the
negro tending the precious lamp to cease
feeding its flame.
Il have made confession" he added,
sand can now die. but will God forgive
me?"
At that moment the bells of the cha
teau pealed forth and the voices of the
singers in the church We're heard. The
doors of the great hall opened. At the
back of the chapel of the old manor, re-
splendent with lights, the infant Jesus.

diant with celestial glory
The old duke fell on his knees before
the infant deity.
Man" said the voice of the priest,
"Jesus was born to suffer, and died for
for the redemption of sinners. You have
sinned, you have suffered, you have re-
pented-God forgives you. Your soul
rass from you in peaceel"
Then the old man turned his eyes
toward the lamp. above which an angel
with white wings was lowering. That
angel he recognized--it was the guardian
of the brilliant lamp.
The angel smiled sweetly and took
within his wings the expiring flame, with
which he flew heavenward.

A WONDERFUL CAVE.
In Southern Oregon, Near the California
Line-Four Stories of Marble Halls.

In southern Oregon, hugging the Cali
fornia line near the famous old mining
camp of Kerby, is a cave that promises
on further exploration to be the greatest
in the world. 1t is the Siskiyou reserva-
ton. seventy-five miles from Crater lake
and eight miles from Briggs mines on
Sucker creek, says the Philadelphia
Press.
This wonder of marble and crystal
has been explored to great depths by
party composed of Joaquin Miller, G. 3.
Watson and Jefferson Myers. Mr..
Myers returned to Portland enthusiastic
over what he had seen.
1T is truly wonderful, that place is,
he said. I'VE went over all that is now
known of it. Joaquin Miller named it

I'VE went from kerbyyille under the
guidance of the two men who have spent

place-John Kincaid of Williams, Ore.,,
and Frank Nj. Nickerson of KERRY.
From Kerby we went to the mouth
of Cave creek, then up that stream
| over a good foot trail seven lniles to the
mouth of the Halls Here the River
Styx comes right out of the mountain
and tumbles over fall of 20 feet. This
! is the lower entrance. 1t is about as
large as an ordinary door in the face
of a marble cliff, 300 feet high and 800
feet long, and clear white-a beautiful
sight in itself. This entrance was found
| in 1874 by hunter named Elijah Ta-
| wilson, who trailed white faced deer
into the place. Three years later, in
! 1877. Davidson, Nickerson, one of our
| guides, and John Nj. Chapman made the
| first exploration. They went over the
same route within the cave that we did
this trip.
THE first owners were Homer and
