Got His. Man.

Sheriff Newton Fauskee returned
on Sunday afternoon from his trip to
Sing Sing, New York, where he se.
cured the custody of Harry Harris,
who had just completed term in the
famous New York prison. Harris
was convicted in the district court
here Of picking the pocket Of Road:
master Walter Dunbar of the Omaha
line. While being taken to Saltwater
Harris escaped. from his custodian,
Sheriff NJ. Reiter. He Immediately
went east and in short time got into
trouble in New York for a similar
crime and was sent to Sing Sing. Mr..
Fauskee says THAT Harris appeared
to be pr eminent among the criminal
fraternity all through the East, Sas
wherever they stopped large. crowds
Of that gentry greeted Harris, and
they would undoubtedly have under.

slightest opportunity of doing SO, but

FOUR LEGGED DUCK
Remarkable Freak Of Nature Be.
ing Raised by Chas.
~ f0eISchOW

Chas. Foelschow, the prominent
agriculturist who owns one of the fin
est farms in Mobiles county, on the
west shore of Lake Okabena, has on
his place remarkable freak in the
shape OF a duckling with four legs,
one pair behind the other. Both pair
are attached to the body and are fully
developed, but, true TO its nature, the
bird uses only one pair, the front ones
and when it walks the extra legs drag
behind. The .duckling is now three
weeks old and seems in all other re-
spects to be normal. |-..ts
Freaks of this kind are quite com.
mon, but this is the first one that has
ever occurred in this neighborhood.
Mr.. Foelschowis taking good care of
the freak and hopes soon TO dispose
oft at good price to some Snowman.

The members Of the Western Fed
Grafton Of Miners ON the Mesaba
range in Minnesota are devoting their
energies to making demonstrations Of
their strength and forcing the men
still at work to lay down their tools.
Bands of from 100 to 1000 or 5000
men congregate and march to the
various mining locations. One mob
headed by a brass band left Virginia
Tuesday morning and, marching to
the Petit mine near Sparta, forced
$50 men employed by the Republic
Iron and Steel company there to quit.
They then proceeded to the Kellogg
mine near Biwabik, owned by the New
York Steel company, and forced the
men there to abandon work.
At all tho principal mining locations
crowds of men congregate and listen
to inflammatory speeches by the lead
ers.
The ore industry now Is completely
tied up and not ton of ore has been
shipped from Duluth for a week. The
strike on the docks at Duluth, Two
Harbors and Superior Is still unset

Home From the Coast.

Frank Saxon returned last Friday
from his trip to the Pacific Coast. He
visited several of the larger points
and found conditions far from being
as rosy as they have been painted.
He left David Anderson at Seattle,
where he is employed in large fur
niture store, and where Clarence Pan.
nell is also employed. Mr.. Saxon
visited q section of California where
he has I6O acres of land, but found
that no developments had been made
so returned home. He says he thinks
a working man is far better of in the
east than on the .oast, and that while
there are many places it would be
pleasant to live, most of those places
are exceedingly poor for man of
small means.

JOHNSON TO INVESTIGATE.
Minnesota's Governor Starts for the
Iron Range.


Governor John A. Johnson has left
St.. Paul for Duluth and the Iron
Range to investigate the miners
strike situation and the possibility of
violence. He goes there, he says, not
60 much III anticipation Of any vio.
lerce and the consequent need of
troops, but to see IL he can be of any
aid and to offer his services # needed
In bringing about an amicable and
peaceful adjustment of the entire
strike trouble.
The determination of the governor
to visit the iron country was hastened
by a letter received from Sheriff
Bates of St. Louis county. The letter
spoke of the strike, the closing Of
practically all the mines and the pos
sibility of violence by the idle miners.
To date, Sheriff Bates wrote. there
had been no violence, but in anticipa-
ton Of trouble he had sworn in many
deputies. In the event of any general
trouble he gave it as his opinion that
he would be unable to cope with the
situation and when it came the state
troops would be needed.
Should there be a call for troops
Duluth has two companies Of the Third
regiment which can be assembled in
an hour. In the Twin Cities there are
nine companies. Altogether there are
1000 men who could be modified at
any point in the state within twenty
four hours. ~.t

Smaller Farms and the Quack
H.. Will Go.

Forest Henry, we'll known thruout
the state by reason of his connection
with the farmers institute work. pub
fishes the following in the Fairbault
Republican relative to the quack
grass question: "
"As We pass thru the state of Min
nesota in our institute work, at every
point comes the question how are we
to kill out the quack grass!' When
we call for show of hands for those
who have it nearly every farmer says
yes. We find most of the farms,
particularly in the southwestern
part Of the state, very large, so large
that the farmer has no time to give
extra cultivation or special work to
get rid: of it,. The consequences are
that the quack is spreading very ra-
pidlv and will very soon practically
ovelrun the state. One of the great.
est agencies that is lending helping
hand to spreading broadcast is the
rented farm. Ordinarily the leases
only run for one or two years and the
renter expects soon to leave and con-
sequently wages no war of extermin.
alton, You cannot blame him. The
question arises what will it finally
cone tot In my mind it will subse-
quently mean a subdivision of farms
(for no farmer can farm 320 acres of
quack.) This will mean better til
lage, more farm homes, better. sup
ported schools and churches and a
better and more prosperous farming
community. ''
"The quack will force US to change
ourgsystem Of, farming. Grain rails
ing and selling will be largely a
thing Of the past and stock growing
and dairying will take its place." :

RAILROADS LOSE CONTEST
Minnesota Supreme Court UphoIds
H. Gross Earnings Tax.

Minnesota supreme Court OphoIos
: i, Gross Earnings Tax.
The 1 per cent gross earnings tax
law is a constitutional and valid act,
declares the supreme court in a de-
cision just handed down.
BY this ruling the findings of the
Ramsey county district court in the
cases of the Duluth and Northern Min
nesota Railway company and the Min.
nesota and Northern Wisconsin Rail-
way company, which contested the
law, are affirmed and they must. pay
the tax demanded. The, appeal was
on the overruling of the railroads de-
murrer to the complaint filed by the
state. ~~. ..~'.
These two companies claimed ex.
emption under the law OF 1873, which
fixed the tax at per cent for the first
year and per cent for the year fol-
lowing. This they were paying when
the new law went into effect and the
point made by them was that the new
law only applied to those roads pay.
ing 8 per cent at the time.
There are still two other railroads
contesting the new law-the Great
Northern and, the Great Western
but the points raised by them are
entirely different and the decision
does not apply. These roads claim
exemption under the territorial char
ter held by them, which fixed the rate
at 3 per cent. H., ~.s

GLASS BOOK OF 1907.
"VOLUME L" IS ISSUED
Similar to the Histories of the Last Two
 Years.

"volume L, History of the Class of 1907, Yale College" was published yes terday. All men who have paid their Subscriptions may obtain copies of the book on presentation of receipts or by payment of the regular price-four dol lars. Copies may be procured at the Coop.
 The book is, in general, similar to the l histories of the last two years. First, there is history of the class, by yearss written by R. F. Danielson, 1907; M. s. Little, 1907; E. B. Chapin, 1907, and A. | W. Sawyer. 1907. Throughout appear many cuts of the various class teams, i teditorial boards, freshman and senior class groups, vews of the campus,
 Woodbridge hall the arnfory at prom tenade time, and many others of inter- lest to the class Following the history of the class by years are the indvid- lpal biographies, a page being devoted to each member of the class, including a half-tone of each man.
 Tn addition to the biographies of the linen now in the class, there are given lthe records and photographs of the men
 who entered with 1907, but who for va Irious reasons have left college to rep
 resent the class in the outside world IThe obituaries of the men who have
 been taken from the class by death are published.
 A part of the book is given up to the lstatistics of the class. The average height, age and weight of the class is
 noted, as is the opinion of the class on Imany matters referring to the faculty and number of Yale institutions and pastimes. The results of every vote
 cast is tabulated so as to show what
 each man received.
 In all, the book numbers 45O pages.
 being the largest ever published by any class and contains nearly 400 cuts. It is bound with blue English cloth, with the Yale seal stamped in gold on the cover Following the innovation made by the class secretary of 1905, the book contains no advertisements. The lprinting was done by the Futile, More
 house X Taylor company, and the cuts
 were made by the stoddard- Dayton
 company The work in both cases has
 been excellent.
