NATIONAL CORN EXPOSITION.

James J.. Hill bids fair to be one
of the greatest centers of attraction
at the National Corn exposition,
which opens in Omaha Dec. 8, and
continues until Dec. 19. Mr.. Hill will
deliver the chief address on Corn
Growers day, Dec. 10. His address
will deal with the raising and mar
keting of corn; the land best adapt
ed to it's culture, treatment of the
soil, the relation of transportation
to prices, and, finally, corn as an
element of economy and commerce.
The millers and grain men of
Minneapolis, several hundred strong
will accompany Mr.. Hill to Omaha
in special train. The millers of the
great Mill City are establishing an
extensive exhibit at the exposition
and the grain dealers have taken an
active interest in it.

WATER POWER HELPS BUILD
RAILROAD.

Never before in the history of
railroads was a great building pro-
ject carried out so quietly as the Pa
.cific coast extension of the St. Paul
road In this great undertaking,
which means so much to the Pacific
Northwest, more than $1O0,000,000
is being expended with as little fuss
as an ordinary business enterprise
would make in expending few
thousand dollars. The St. Paul road
is not coming into country that
needs the aid of the promoter or
the land agent. In timber alone
there is almost a competency for
the new line, for the st. Paul man
agement has been given assurance
that not fewer than $4,000 carloads
will be given it the first year after
the work has been completed.
One of the wonderful facts re-
garding the construction of this new
trans-continental line, which will
stretch from Chicago and the Twin
Cities by the way of Butte, Mont,
to Seattle and Tacoma, Wash, is
the thoroughness with which it is
being constructed. 1t is not gener-
ally known, for example, that over
! the 500 miles of mountain stretct a
, electricity is to be used as the mo
tive power, and the engines VIM h
200 ton electric motors. D avn +h
! sides of the Bitter Root mountain
are pouring a sufficient number q
streams to furnish abundant powe
for all of the electric motors whic1
the st. Paul will need to handle #
trains over the mountain division
These streams are to be harnesse,
at the cost of millions. The boldnes
of conception and the unobtrusiv
way in which the work is being ex
ecuted challenge admiration
Through the fastness of the Bite
Root range a tunnel $3.50 feet lon,
is being constructed by electrical
power and through it will be oper
ated trains hauled by motors. On
end Of this tunnel will open in thu
state of Montana and the other viii
land the traveller in Idaho, and It.
grade will not exceed .02 of 1 pei
cent.
In general the work on the west
end Of the road between Butte and
Seattle is nearly finished on some
of the divisions, but the long tun-
nels and the heavy fills will take
some time to complete. Rails are
now being laid in five different Sec
tions, but the track is not continu-
GUS for more than 120 miles. On
the Seattle-Tacoma line the track
has just been finished from Black
River Junction to Summer, Wash.
East of Seattle the road is completed
for a distance Of seventy-five miles,
and work over the Snoqualmie Pass
Of the Cascades is being rapidly
pushed. On one division there are at
least sixty fills to be made of an av-
erage depth Of seventy-fve feet, and
the road between Black River and

without definite jobs in view. They're

another degenerate, Prince Sagan, and

from Anna for their support and he
just opens the lid on Sagan's life and
mistresses and vileness in great color

new TRIAL
Judge Lands Reversed In His
Decision Filming the Standard
Oil Company Twenty-Five
Millions.
The Three Judges Are Unanimous
In Giving a New Hearing.

On Wednesday in Chicago the
United States Court of Appeals
handed down it's decision in the
appeal made by the Standard Oil
Company of Indiana from the YER
dict rendered in April, 1907, by
which the company was found
guilty of accepting rebates and
fined by Judge Lands 500, 24O, 900.
The decision of the three judges
was unanimous.
The Court of Appeals differs
with the trial court on three vital
points, holding that Judge Lands
excluded evidence which should
have been admitted to show proper
intent in the rate the company
paid on oil; that he erred in con-
sidering each car lot a separate Of
Tense, and that in imposing the
maximum fine for the first offense
he abused the discretion vested in
the court.

PH0NOGRAPH SPEECHES
Mr.. Bryan Turns Over Money
to the Campaign Fund.

At Fairview, Lincoln, Neb. g.
most of the day was spent by Mr..
Bryan in delivering short speeches
on the issues of the campaign into
a photograph. The intention is
to give the speeches wide distribu-
ton throughout the country. OF
his own volition Mr.. Bryan an
nounced that he had received $500
from each of the two concerns as
compensation for his work.
When confronted with the sug-
gestiOn by newspaper man that
he had accepted money from COR
pOratiOns, and had thereby acted
contrary to the declared policy of
the Democratic party, Mr.. Bryan
stated that the whole proposition
was a commercial one and that he
very properly could accept pay
for his labOrs. The remittances
were not retained by him, but he
turned them over to the State and
County Democratic Committees
respectfully as a personal cOntri-
button.

the subjects to be dealt with, and
a keen appreciation of his wonder

l want his judgment and his criti-

This statement made by Mr..

intended trip, which he says was
taken on his own and not the

Mob Attacks BOatS-.COaI BARGE
Blown 10.

Dynamite was used by mob at
Caseyville to blow up towbOats and
barges belonging to the West
Kentucky Coal Company, and hun
dreds of bullets were fired into the
Fannie Wallace and Harvester,
wounding John GOodall, engineer
on the Harvester, in the stomach
and hitting the nightwatchman in
the foot. Without warning to the
men on the boats, a loaded barge
was blown up by dynamite. One
barge was sunk, loss 50, 800 for the
barge and 81, 400 for the coal.
A fleet of loaded barges had been
accumulated for the Harvester to
take South on the first rise in the
river, and the boats and barges
were lying together. Capt. F. X.
Farnsley, of 900 Tennessee street,
left his boat, the Harvester, to go
to Paducah, and so missed being
wounded and possibly killed. John
Goodall, the wounded engineer,
lives in Gallipolis, Ohio, having
become member of the Harvester
crew when that boat ran from
Pittsburg to Southern points with
coal. He was asleep when the at
tack began, and was shot before he
had time to dress completely. The
men on the boats could not tell who
their assailants were, but all clews
point to disgruntled miners.
