to ascertain whether the license OBJ

TWO CENTS A. MILE.

at midnight, July 18th, the new
railroad law, fixing passenger rates at
2 cents mile went into effect in the
states of Iowa, limos, Minnesota and
Missouri.
In Wisconsin and the Dakotas the
rates are based on 2la cents mile.
but in Wisconsin the law recently
passed making the rate cents mile
will 60 into effect August 10Th.
Referring to the states west OF
Iowa, the Chicago Tribune gives out
the following statement:
The rates to interior Kansas and
Nebraska have not been affected other
than by the reduction to Missouri
river points. because the law in Ne.
braska is being tested in the courts
and Kansas did not pass 2 cent law,
though the commissioners of that
state recently addressed commune
cation to the railroads asking them to
put in cent rate in Kansas, to be-
come permanent il the 2 cent laws are
upheld by the courts of Missouri. Me-
braska, and Arkansas. The railroads
are inclined to ignore this request,
Notwithstanding the letter contains
the threat that the commissioners will
take action if the railroads do not.
There is disposition ON the part of
Colorado lines to make rates to the
Colorado state line based on the 2
cent rate in Nebraska. thus reducing
the rate to Colorado points. This
will have the effect of reducing the
rate from Council Bluffs. Iowa, and
Omaha, Neb.. and st. Joseph, Mo-,
and naturally the Kansas lines will be
c, m >elled to apply cent rate across
the state Of Kansas to put Kansas
City on parity. One road has given
its ultimatum that the Colordo reduc-
tions will become effective on July
2Sth, and the others will join.
The reductions in rates to Kansas
City, Omaha, Sioux City, Minneapo-
lis, and ST. Paul naturally will carry
reductions to all points west. 1t is
probable the new rates to the far
west will be effective about July
2Sth. Rates to points in interior
Nebraska and Kansas will be based
on 2 cents mile to the Missouri
river and the old local rate beyond

indeed, unless the senator suffer ma

kind things which a republican paper
had to say of man who is spoken of

we most heartily endorse:

The Electric Line.

NJ. II. bOutell, tne PROMINENT Mill
neapolis attorney, and 7. w. Steven
son. Vice president of Patterson &
Stevenson, wholesale furriers, were
yesterday elected directors and officers
Of the Minneapolis, Rochester and
Dubuque Traction Co., more common
ly known as the Dan Patch Air Line.
Mr.. Boutell, known all over the,
northwest as a lawyer, and as an eIo-
quent supporter of Republican party
policies, was elected secretary of the
company, and has already taken up
the duties of that office, which will
be arduous at least during the con-
struction period. Mr.. Stevenson,
who has won prominence of late as
president of the Manufacturers asso.
citation, was elected First Vice-presi-
dent. and will be actively associated
in determining the company's future
policies.
The new men were chosen to fill the
vacancies OH the board caused by the
resignation of w. p. Mason and q.
w. Shivel. Mr. Mason was the origi-
nal promoter of the company and has
been acting as manager until the
proper person could be found to re-
lieve him of this part of the work.
He resigned on account of other inter
ests which will take him east within
few days. Mr. Shivel found that
his duties with the Traction Company
conficted with his other business
affairs, and for that reason decided TO
step down and out.
The injection of this new blood into
the management of the Dan Patch Air
Line means much to stockholders and
to thousands of people living along
the right of way who will be ma
terially benefited by the tuilding of
this electric interurban, and TO the

The Retail Merchants VS.. the Catalogues

The time has arrived when concer.
ted action by the retail merchants of
the middle west against the great
catalog octopus in the commercial
centers and cities of the country prom.
ises to bring about important results.
The gauntlet has been thrown down
and a declaration of war has been
made by 500, 900 retail merchants in
the states of Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Kansas and Minnesota
against the common enemy in the
great cities. The Chicago Tribune
characterizes the effort as lone of the
most striking economic movements
the country has ever known.n The
small dealers say they are fighting for
their lives. This paper has always
steadily and consistently opposed the
catalog business as carried on by the
great houses of the big cities We
believe it TO be unfair to our home
dealers, the men who help pay the
| taxes, and who are ever ready and
generous in their responses to the
many calls which are made upon them
for charitable purposes and there is
no class of people in the country town
upon whom so many calls are made a.
upon the merchants and other business
men. 1t appears to US to be utterly
inconsistent to assail railroads, cor
porations and trusts of various kinds

courage one of the most deadly
enemies of the hone town. which il
