In Belgium the exploitation Of rail-
roads by the State is proving disastrous.
The deficit on last years working was
estimated between $4,000 and $1,000,
600, but it will exceed 100000.
The Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Pau
has added another order for $500 cars,
and has just placed the contracts for their
early delivery. This will mean the con-
sumption of 10000 tons of structural
steel.
Thu machine shop, boiler shop and
blacksmith shop of the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company at Brainerd, which
have been running but eight hours per
day for the past year, went bach to nine
hours last week.
Judge Thicker in the federal court at
Little Falls, Ark, granted the nine aux
iliary Iron Mountain lines a temporary
Injunction against the 2-cent passenger
rate n freight tariff. promulgated last
winter by the railroad commission.
A new rate sheet, prevalent through
out the United States, excepting Michi-
gan, has just been put in by the Pullman
mpa which, it is said, will result in
an increase yearly of hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars. For chair cars the COM
pany proposes to increase the cost every
ten miles, instead of every City as at
present.
The unfavorable results Of the State
ownership Of railroads in Switzerland
promises to be a leading issue in the
coming electoral campaign. The confed.
GRAFTON has $24O,OOO,OOO invested in rail-
ways. The deficit this year will be b.
tween 100000 and $1,000

PRIMARY FRAUDS RAMPANT.
Special Chicago Grand Jury After
ReDeatc

.e-.
The ballots Of men long residents Of
other cities, OF temporary ~absentees, OF
the insane, and even the dead, were
cast in Chicago. "Repeaters" voted In
%platoons, with the connivance of will
fully unseeing judges and clerks OF
election, and fraud rampant, to an exc
tent hitherto unknown in a city never
famous for the purity of it's political
atmosphere, rendered the resultant
party nominations worthless. These
and other startling allegations were
made Friday in the report of the spe-
cial grand jury, which, after several
weeks of delving into charges growing
out of C~hicago's first primary, returned
81 indictments against two score or
more politicians and others, ad-
Journed.
The investigation, owing to physical
limitations, merely scratched the sur
face of the situation, according to the
report, and doubt is expressed that
there has been a n honest city or gen.
eral election In Chicago in years.
The findings of the inquisitorial body
characterlzes the primary election as
q disgrace to the city.
Voting machines are urgently adj
vised as a step in a remedial direction,
and a wider application of civil serv-
Ice is recommended. 1t is stated that
while the jury cannot affirm h a no
frauds were perpetrated by civil serv-
ice employees, It is significant that the
inquisitors found none such.
On the other hand, the report re-
marks the fact that although the po-
lice were in the vicinity Of every poll
ing booth, the Investigators received
no aid from them in seeking to fasten
responsibility for conditions which pre-
vailed.

GAP IS TO BE CLOSED.
Milwaukee VIII Extend Linc in Spring
to Orient.

HI report is given out at White
Lake, from what is stated to be a rella-
BILE source, that in the spring the Chi
cago. Milwaukee and st. Paul Railway
will extend its line either
from Platte or Stickney, the latter now
a terminal point, to Orient, in Faux
county, and thus fill a gap embracing
a wide scope of rich farming land
which for years has been without rail
road facilities. 1t is stated by the same
authority that the new extension Will
cross the Observation-Disclosures line of
the Milwaukee road at White Lake,
and thus give White Lake a north and
south line as we'll as an east and west
line of railroad. The closing of the
gap between Stickney or Platte and
Orient would greatly shorten the dis
lance between Sioux City and points
on the coast extension of the Milwau-
kee road.
