To Accept Two-Cent Fare Law.

The action Of the Great Northern
railroad In announcing through the
Hills that the 2-cent fare would be
accepted by that road as enacted ny
the Minnesota legislature is thought
to mark the end of the agitation
among the railroads for law suits to
test the 2cent fare laws passed by
about fifteen states this winter.
State attorneys for the railroads
have said that they had no know.
Ledge OF intention on the part OF the
companies to fight these laws and nc.
sumed that decision would not be
made finally at least until the legis.
latures had adjourned. Illinois, Min.
nesota and Wisconsin legislatures
still are meeting
In this connection, Il Is learned
that the state fair officials have not
taken up with the railroads the sub.
ject OF securing the usual excursion
rates for the state fair. Judge J. c.
Cook, In his argument before the
senate committee last winter, said
that the railroads made money on the
excursion business, citing the train
loads that weekly pass from Daven.
port to Clinton and from Clinton to
Davenport. While the fair officials
do not expect to take up the matter
at all for several weeks yet. they
have little doubt OF the decision OF
the railroads in favor OF continuance
OF the excursion rates for the state
fair.

against the mosaics for the interior
decorations of the capitol. The state

$4,000 In the form in which they
have been received at the capitol. On
this valuation the federal government
has assessed duty Of $1,000. The
question is, does the state or the con.
tractor pay the duty?

STOP JURY TRIAL
FOR ANARCHISTS
Italian Government Brings
Cases Before Three
Judges.

PARIS. March ITO stamp out the
curse of anarchism. which is spreading
rapidly in all parts of the kingdom in
spite of the personal popularity of the
young King, the Spanish government
has decided TO form new tribunal, be-
fore which all cases of anarchism arc
to be tried.
1t has been found that trial by jury
Is very unsatisfactory in cases OF this
kind. because jury members are intimi-
dated by the threats of anarchist or
ganlzations and invariably acquit the
prisoners.
From April the government has or
dered that in the provinces Of Gel Ona
and Barcelona, where anarchists are
most plentiful, they shall be tried by a
bench OF three magistrates instead Of
by jury.
The new rule may be an improvement.
but what is TO prevent the anarchists
from intimidating the magistrates or
killing them off until Il will no longer
be possible to fill their places?

forty gears ago the state began TO ad-

TO my lot in 1888 ana 1900 TO make the
statement on behalf of the government
that no rupee would be spared by which
they could hope 20 mitigate suffering or
TO save life.
Each famine as IL takes place is in
Vesdgated in all its bearings by a spe-
