The Shiloh Shaft.

St. Paul.-Adjt. Gen. Fred B. Wood
has completed arrangements for the
trip Of Governor Johnson and official
staff to Shiloh, Tenn, where the
governor will deliver an address at
the unwilling of q monument to the
Minnesota soldiers who participated
in the battle of Shiloh. There will be
forty and possibly fifty in the
party, which will leave St. Paul on
April 7 and arrive at Shiloh the morn
ing of April 10, when the ceremonies
will be held. ~
Owing to the lack of railroad facil-
tiles, the party will travel 272 miles
by boat ON the Tennessee river. On
the return trip they will spend day
at the Mamouth cave in Kentucky
and spend one day in Louisville and
one in Chicago.

1t is claimed that the Standard
Oil Company proposes to 20 into the
butter making business on large
scale and thus become a formidable
competitor Of the dairy farmers.
chemists claim to have solved
the problem of making butter from
tar and crude oil. This is going a
good step in advance Of manufacture
ing vaseline from petroleum. and.
after all, the step from vaseline to
butter is mostly flavor and color.
The new commoditv-it would be
scand alous to call it butter-has al

Penalty Clause On|v.

St. Paul.-According to the state
ment of one of the leading railway
lawyers of the city, it is now the gen.
eral opinion of the railroad attorneys
that the decision of the United States
supreme court invalidates only the
penalty clause of the passenger and
commodity laws. Ever since the an
nouncenent of the decision that ques-
ton has been unsettled and upon it
hinged whether roads might not get
together and raise passenger fares
above the 2-cent rate. Since it is be-
iieved by legal departments that only
the penalty clause is held unconstitu-
tional, it is improbable that there will
be any move made even to consider
raising passenger fares.

Attorney general Young has issued
a 'broadside' in reply to a state
ment made recently in a Duluth
paper that he intended to Withdraw
from the race for the gubernator-
ial nomination. Instead of with
drawing, he states emphatically. that
the fight for the nomination has but
just begun. He does not propose to
Withdraw at the dicta:ion of the
railroad interests, the liquor inter-
ests, the lumbers barons and the
machine politicians, interests which
are all fighting him now because he
has endeavored to enforce the state
laws for the regulation of their diff
erent lines of business. Mr.. Young
believes that the people are with
him in this fight. and that the re-
publican party Is on the "souare"
and is not going to ''skin" him in
order to please the interests that are
opposed to law enforcement. Re-
publicans. he says, are not going to
tolerate corporate or LIQUOR Interior
ence in their convention. Mr..
Young's statement is strong appeal
to the voters of the state, and will
not 60 unheeded.

The recent advance in the price
of provisions is receiving consider
able attention at Saint Paul. Beef,
pork. mutton, lamb have all in
creased in value during the past few
days. The wholesale prices in most
cases have advanced over Is per cent.
1t can be safely assumed. therefore.
that the increase in the retailing
price has been even more. AS this
advance in value does not impose any
financial loss on the farmer. who
receives more for his stock: the
packer or butcher. who ma intains his
ratio Of profit; the commission man,
who still secures his percentage; and
the retailer. VINO has only to increase
his price in order to maintain his
profit. the question asked is how do
the mass of retail consumers com
pensate themselves for this general
advance in the prices of food stutfs?
Does the loss fall on them alone. or
do they. in their turn. protect them
selves in other WAYS when the price
of food commences to soar? Can it
be that general advance in prices
leads them to draw in their purchas-
ing powers. and hence all advance in
values leads to a restriction of trade
for the time being.
1t is we'll known that at this
season Of the year the farmers are
too busy in the fields to send their
stock and produce to the Saint Paul
markets. and this mainly contributes
to the advance in the price of meats
and produce. But the Minnesota
rate decision also threatens to have a
bearing on the markets and send up
the price of commodities The
eastern railroads seem inclined to
look to the shippers of groceries.
SOAP. hardware. in fact all kinds of
articles of daily consumption in order
to recoup themselves for the losses
suffered from the introduction of
the two-cent fare. Shippers from
Saint Paul and other western points,
through their associations. are seek
ing to prevent the eastern classifica-
tion committee from making. Changes
which apparently amount to an in
crease in rates for commodities.
The committee, however, maintain
that the changes are being made
with the view OF having goods better
boxed and Grated, to enable the rail
way companies to carry them at less
risk to themselves. According to
figures compiled by the Chicago &
Northwestern, the railway companies
in the United States paid. last year,
S25. 900, 600 in the settlement OF
claims for freight loss and damage.

SPLIT FOR CUBS.

Cincinnati Oct 1.-Chicago's Cubs
beat Cincinnati 6 to 0, today \and
fought their way back into a position
to step into the lead of the frantic Ma
tional league race if New York slips
again. The win put them in a tie with
the Pirates for second place. They beat
the Reds today almost without effort
and played superb ball behind Reul-
bach's marvellous pitching. The big
Cub pitched his fourth straight shut-out
game and held the Reds to two lone
hits. both of which were semi-scratches
by Egan.
