Prosecute The Offenders.

One who signs his communication
"Citzen of Minnesota, writes The St.
Paul Dispatch strong letter advo'
eating the prosecution Of railroad
agents who should violate the two
cent passenger fare law and the COM
modify rate law. ut has been stated
in the daily papers," writes '"Citizen, "
"that there is talk Of calling an extra
session of legislature to do some
thing" to the railroads because of
Judge Lochren's decision in the &C.
tions pending in the United Safes
court between certain stockholders of
the railroads and the railroads against
the attorney general and railroad and
warehouse commissioners of the state;
and in one statement it was said a
state official thought such action ad-
visable in order to arouse the public
to the gravity Of the situation. l agree
that the public ought to be aroused
to the gravity of the situation-and
the purpose of this letter is to assist
in arousing the pub!ic-but no ses-
sion of the Legislature is necessary.
The prosecuting officers of the state
are the ones to stir things up, and
they are equal to the task if they will
undertake it. Probably the attorney
generals Office could lead in the mat
ter. or at least advise and direct the
moveme nts, without violating the in-
junction now in force, or the one
which will be issued.
'To an outsider the situation ap.
pears to be this: The pending ac-
tions are civil suits brought by stock
holders of the railroads, against the
railroads, the attorney general and
the railroad and the warehouse COM
missioners. They are not actions
against the state. The state is not
a party to them; the injunctions do
not bind the state and the judge
ments to be entered in the actions
will not bind the state. Any action
which shall be commenced, civil or

A Model School.

Our readers have undoubtedly no.
ticed the advertisement of the To-
land School Of Sioux Falls and men,
ton of same in a previous issue.
We are just in receipt of its cata-
logue. which is not only work of
art, but contains the most positive
proof of superiority ever offered by
a school. The former catalogue Of
the Toland School contained the
portraits of 1000 Toland graduates
whom Mr.. Toland had sent to posi-
tions. Since that time the demand
for Toland graduates has increased
80 rapidly that to publish the por-
traits of all would require book
too heavy for mailing. He has
therefore in his new catalogue pub
lished only the portraits Of his grad
yates earning from nine hundred to
nine thousand dollars per year.
Among the more prominent of his
graduates we notice the President
of the Security Bank of Lacrosse,
the Assistant Gen. Pass. and Ticket
Agent, Southern Railway, and the
Supt. Ordinary Dept. Metropolitan
Life 1ns. Go.
Any school can prepare it's grad
yates for ordinary positions, but it
requires very different training, to
prepare them for the positions occu-
pied by Toland graduates.
The young man or woman desir-
ing a business education will cer-
tainly regret it If they fail to inves-
tigate the Toland Business School
at Sioux Falls. ..

Schaefer on the Chatauqua

Editor Schaefer of the Adrian
Democrat passes the following pleas
ing comment on the Worthington
Chatauqua:
This Chatauqua, like all others, is
a paradise for preachers-they are
there from all over southwestern Min
nesota and northwestern Iowa, and
it would be difficult to throw hymn
book from one tent to another with.
out hitting a gentleman arrayed in a
white tie and a Prince Albert. The re-
is no kick on the clergy, of course,
but the presence of so many sedate
and scautified souls is somewhat dis.
couraging to visitors whose idea of a
good time does not include bible
classes, prayer meetings and Bill Sum
day clubs. But the Cbatauqua was
not intended to take the place of
street fairs, carnivals, Fourth of July
celebrations and boozefests, and the
chap who doesn't know this had bet
ter stay away. If he is looking for a
chance to ute red paint in percepti-
BILE quantities, he should buy a ticket
to some place further down. The
ID does not get even a look-in at
Worthington, and yet some knowing
ones say he is there.
But, after all, the Chatauqua is a
fine thing even for the ''sports. y
There is no reason why the best OF
good fellows" can't have all the fun
he can make so long he is decent
about it. The preachers are all right
the bible class is anything but bad
and certainly the prayer meetings
harm nobody. These who do moi
wish to associate with the preachers
are not compelled to do 60, and ue
one is forced to attend the bible class
The majority Of the visitors find the
presence of the ministers quite agree
able and enjoy the religious services
far more than they would a horse
race, a baseball game or bottle o1
beer. And, speaking of beer, 1-well
never mind, il wouldn't DO TO sal
above whisper, anyway. - =
The program this year is far aheae
of last and includes diversity O
talent. .-~
| To sum it all up, Worthingtor
gained few points when she con
t:acted the Chatauqua habit. It is 9
good thing for the town and enables
her people and many from surround
ing towns and country to enjoy nice
and profitable outingunder conditions
and surroundings that leave little tc
be desired.

BOARD OF EQUALIZATION
Net at the Court House Monday
~
" Snas Struck in BIooded ,
Stock Valuation. s.y", f..

The county commissioners met on
Monday as board of Equalization.
Their work proceeded smoothly un-
til the matter Of the assessment of
thorouhbred stock came up. q. W.
Patterson appeared before the board
to protest against the the action of
the board Of review of Worthington
township, which had materially
raised the valuation of his string Of
thoroughbred horses from the valu-
alton made by the assessor. The
matter was contested before the
town board, and Mr.. Patterson ap-
pealed to the county commissioners.
1t appears that Mr.. Patterson q
thoroughbred horses were the first
live stock to be assessed higher
than ordinary grade stock, the
assessor valuing them three times
AZ high as grade stock. The
township board Of review raised the
assessors figures so per cent, which
caused Mr. Patterson to protest: l .
In, order t.. foster the raising of
Thoroughbred stock in the county
&c has been the custom to assess it
the same as grade stock. = = &3y=
Mr.. Patterson does not object to
the raise itself, but insists that
other stock of the same class be as
sessed on the same basis. The coun-
ty. commissioners recognize the JUS
tice OF Mr.. Patterson's q contention,
and have summoned all the stock
breeders in the county, whose
names they can secure, to show
cause why the valution Of their
thoroughbred stock should not be
raised.
Foster Moore, the chairman of the
Worthington township board, owns
q bull which he values at $1,000, yet
the animal was assessed as scrub
stock. It was against fragrant, not
to say ep1teful, discrimination Of
this kind Mr.. Patterson protested,
and the commissioners seem to
think his point was we'll taken.

Railroads Extend Two.cent Rate.

The western railroads notified the
interstate commerce commission that
on July 18th they would make gen.
eral reduction in passenger rates for
Interstate trips IN l)lionois, Iowa,
Minnesota and Missouri, making 2
cents a mile the basis for all rates be-
tween those states. While it may
net be possible for the railroads to
complete the work of revising and
reducing the inter. state rates between
these states by the dates fixed, the
rates between ali important points
will be put into effect then.

Annual School Meeting

The annual school meeting for this
district will be held Saturday evening
July 20, between Z and 8 o'clock to
elect two members of the Board of
Education. The retiring members
are Messrs. A. T. Latta and Grant
Morrison. Mr.. Latta will probably
be candidate for reelection, while
Nj. Morrison's reply to question as
to his intention was very emphatic
no. The selection of school officers
in q. district like Worthington is a
very important matter and every vot'
or who has the interests of the school
at heart should turn out at this elec-
tion. In Mr.. Latta the district has as
capable and conscientious an officer
as has ever served on the board, and
there is no doubt but that he will be
re elected, although some of those
who opposed the bond issue and the
retention Of Supt. Eiwa rds, are going
after his scalp on those scores. The
Advance believes it would be a very
serious mistake to replace Mr.. Latta
at this time. Mr.. Morrison has also
been useful member of the board
and we, should be pleased to se@ him
remain, but as he refuses to stand
for reelection, we hope a good man
will be chosen for his place. =.

criminal, 10 which the state shall be
a party will be tried and determined
just as if these actions had never been
commenced. g.
"The two-cent passenger rate act
makes it crime 10 charge more than
two cents mile to carry a passenger
in the state, and the commodity rate
act makes it crime to charge more
than the rates fixed in the act for car
rying certain commodities. The acts
are penal laws nov in full force, and
every violation of them is criminal
offense. Any citizen can swear out a
complaint and start prosecution for
the offense. Any prosecuting attor-
ney in the state can cali the attention
of the grand jury of his county to any
violation of either act, and any grand
jury may indict for the violation Of
the act. The pending suits do not
seek to enjoiu the citizen, nor the
grand Jurors, nor the prosecut ng at
torneys, nor the state courts from in
stituting or prosecuting proceedings :
to punish criminally those who have
violated the Law. There is nothing
in the pending actions which can in
terfere in any way with the enforce
ment of the two acts mentioned in the
only way it was intended they should
be enforced.
IF some officer of the railroads
should be indicted for violation of one
of these statutes and brought to trial
on the indictment, the injunction in
the action would not constitute de-
fense, nor the pending actions be
ground for delaying the trial. Tho
whole question of the validity and
effect of the statute could thus be
forced to a speedy trial in state
court before jury of citizens of this
state.
There is an important question in.
volved in these suits and 1t is not one
of reasonableness of rates, nor of JUS
tice to the railroads, nor Of the valid
ity of these acts, but a question OF
dignity, soyereigatJ and -poHer Of tha
state to govern within its own borders.
The question is whether . few indi.
viduals and corporations merely by
ins,ituting ifrieudly suit between
themselves in a federal court can par
alizs the state to such an extent that
it must sit helplessly by and see it's
laws daily violated until such time az
these litigants see fit to bring their
amicable litigation to an end
The prosecuting officers of this
state can force the trial OF the validity
of these acts, at lesst of the commod-
ity rate act, in the state court and to
speedier determination and with
much greater chance of sustaining
the act than in the suits pending in
the federal court. 1t probably can
be done without putting the attorney
general in contempt of the federal
court, but contempt or no contempt
the people expect it to be DONE"

DEATH OF LITTLE ETHEL LAM

Ethel Lam, the 12-year- daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. R. Lam, of this
place, died yesterday morning about 8
O'Clock from All attack of scarlet fever
from which she had been suffering for
only short time. During her sickness
she had every attention that could be
given her, but the combined efforts of
all the physicians in town failed to save
her life. Ethel was bright and pretty
child and her death is severe blow to
her parents. They have the sympathy
of the entire community in their hour of
affection, although words are but bare
and empty things with which to express
coincidence in case of this kind. The
funeral will take place today and will be
strictly private. Every precaution will
be taken to prevent the spread of this
dread disease

DEATH OF JIMMY WEST

Jimmy West, the 14-year- son of
Mr.. and Mrs. James West, died very
suddenly last Friday afternoon from an
attack of spinal meningitis. He went to
bed we'll Wednesday night and the next
day was suffering severely with the fatal
disease. About O'Clock Friday after
noon he passed away. His funeral took
place last Sunday from the West home,
and Miss Mary West, sister, came
from Virginia City to be present, also
Andy West, a brother, came up from
Scllurz The death was very sad one
and Mr.. and Mrs. West and brothers and
sister have the sympathy of host of
friends throughout the valley. Jimmy
West was bright boy and it seems hard
that he should be taken from his home
and loved ones so suddenly and at such
an age.

DRAGGED BY A HORSE

Joe Fagundus, the eight year-old son

death by his horse yesterday near his
home OH the East Walker River The
little fellow attended school at Webster's,
and rode his horse to and from school.
He had tied the rope, which was around
the horses neck, around his waist yes
terday and was walking when the animal
became frightened and ran. dragging
the boy some miles. Details of the ac-
cident are not obtainable, but when
found the boy was dead His mother,
who is in i'll health, was greatly shocked
when informed of the accident, and is
in serious condition. The funeral of
the boy will probably be held here to-

A SENSATIONAL CHARGE.
1t Is Brought by a Cleveland Man
Against Our Minister TO Norway.

Washington, d. c. = Sensational
charges against Herbert Peirce, Uni.
ted States minister to Norway who
was formerly third assistant secretary
of state, were made Monday before
the house committee on ways and
means by Prof. H. w. Elliott of Cleve-
land, in connection with hearing on
resolution for the further protection
of fur seals on the high seas.
Elliott stated that while Mr.. Peirce
was representing the United States
government before The Hague tri-
bunal in the settlement of claims
growing out of the seizure of the seal
ing vessel j. Hamilton Lewis by the
Russian government on the charge of
piracy, he also represented the own.
ers of the vessel and even instituted
action in the United States district
court for the District OF Columbia to
insure the payment of his fee out of
the money awarded to the vessel own
ers.
