INQUIRY HAS BEGUN
Judge Lovely of Albert Lea Will Probe
Restraint Of Trade.

Washington, May 22LThe interstate
from Judge John \. Lovely, now at
Walker, Mimi, that his health is rapidly
improving and that he will again be able
to resume Investigations into the con
duct of the j. D.. Hill railroads.
When Judge Lovely was taken i'll last
winter his special work had not pro-
crossed far enough into the business OF
the Great Northern, Northern Pacific
and Chicago, Burlington & Quincy to
ascertain what condition, if any, stood
in need of examination by the commits
sion. His work was to bring to the COM
missioners' attention anything he deem
ed worthy of note.
One question to he ascertained Is
whether, despite the dissolution of the
Northern Securities company, any meas
trade exists between the railroads
named.
In this regard attention has often been
called to the fact that the dlrectorates
of the three railroads named are com
posed to considerable extent of the
same men For instance. James j. Hill
Is director of both the Great Northern
and the Burlington, while Louis w.
Hill, his son, now president of the Great
Northern. is also one of its directorate.
James Y. Hill. another member of the
Hill family, is director of both the
Burlington and the Northern Pacific.
Samuel Thayer. of New York, holds a
dictatorship in the Great Northern and
Burlington. while W. p. Clou9h. of New

CELEBRATE THE EVENT
Eplscopaiians interested In the Do

From Wednesdays Daily.
The fiftieth anniversary of the organ
ization of the diocesan council of the
Episcopal church is being celebrated in
St. Paul with appropriate ceremonies.
The meeting of the council partakes
much of the nature of a celebration of
the semi centennial, and most of the
ministers in the jurisdiction will be pres
ent 1t has been suggested that as a
memorial of the jubilee meeting his
tory of the church for the past half cen
tmy be issued and the registrar of the
diocese, Dr. George c. Tanner of Fari-
bault was authorized to prepare such a
work. 1t proved to be a task beyond his
powers to complete it by this meeting,
so the publication will be deferred sew
eral months, although much of the
work has been done upon it.
One of the most important matters
to come up at the business session OF
the council this afternoon was the ques-
ton of more thorough supervision by
the appointing of a cOadjutor bishop or
the erection of new diocese. This has
been talked over by the clergy and will
be discussed on the floor of the conven-
ton. 1t is not thought, however, that
any action except the appointment of a
committee will be taken at this time.

UNIQUE GIFT TO MAY0S
Tree That Is Punctured BY Balls at
Chickamausua Battle.
NLc.ir, dl1r, :
From Wednesday's

Drs. Mayo of Rochester are recipients
of very unique and interesting gift
from friend living near Chickamaugua.
1t is in the form of an old log, formerly
a scrub oak tree, that grew on the
battlefield of Chickamaugua. The tree
was evidently standing during the ia
nous battle, and although it must have
been much mutilated by flying cannon
balls and shot, nevertheless it did not
die, but grew to be a larger tree. At
the time of the battle there were several
balls and shot lodged in the wood of the
oak, and as the tree grew these became
more firmly imbedded until now some
of them are entirely invisible. A num-
Der of the cannon balls, however. can
be seen imbedded in the wood. The log
is about six feet in length and fourteen
inches in diameter. 1t is an interesting
relic of the war i'll general, and of the
historic battle of Chickamaugua in par
ticular. and the owners are now trying
to find some place to keep the log where
it can be inspected by the public.

SAD STORY OF THE PIT
Tale Of the Weli-to- do Man Who
Bought Wheat and Won.

Scotch John Anderson left Austin
on Monday for Topeka on a ticket, in
part furnished by the county. Some
years ago he resided near Marshalltown
where he was Il well known horseman
and worth over $50 900. One day man
came and told him to buy wheat" He
bought and he won. Every time he
nibbled he won Then came a day when
he invested heavily in wheat. Then came
call for margins" Day after day the
ncessant call came and one day he could
not meet it. With only $500 left of his
fortune he came to Austin. Never was
the cry of wheat" out of his mind.
Every dollar he got went for wheat
Then he stole horse to raise more
money to play wheat" He served his
time in states prison, returned to Aus
tin, slept in a barn and now goes at
the expense of charity to his sons at
Topeka and the car wheels as they jar
over the rails will give forth but one
sound, 'buy wheat, buy wheat!"
