WILL PAY THE
RENTED FINES

Regarding the remission of the fine
of AL. McGilvra by Justice Adolph
andre some time ago, the defendant
being charged with illegal fishing at
Devils lake, Justice andre agreedMon-
day to enter the fine on his docket and
account for the same. This agreement
was reached after Justice andre had
been shown by the attorney general,
District Attorney Malone and Game
Wardens G.. g. Kolb and w. w. Bur-
gett, that, since judgment had been
given and the fine made, the money
would be required from him by the
county treasury and finally by the
school fund whence such fines go.
Another case in which the fine was
remitted was that of George Jennings,
arrested on the same charge.

'On Sunday baseball game was
played between Warroad and Bau
dette, two of the Minnesota and On
tario League teams, and as Warroad's
first baseman was i'll, Jack knights,
one of the Crookston boys, ,played first.
We desire to say right here that
Crookston may not know it, but Jack
knights is "some" ball playtr. He
made four safe hits and brought five
men home, one of these hits was
three "bagger", at that. The bat-jack
used was decorated and presented to
him with al appropriate letter from
the ball club, backed up by the busi-
ness mems club. Needless to say
that Warroad won. Edison G. Jerome
umpired the game and he is certainly
there with "the understanding" and
"nifty" little umpire he made. The
boys caught nice bunch of pike and
the last reports from them was
hearty cheer for Warroad and every
thing in it. Come again, boys. Such
visitors as you cannot come too often"

A short time ago Mr.. Whalen went
to Arizona, where he is superintendent
of the Tucson division of the Southern
Pacific. He is one of the best known
railroad men in the North-W Western

with other employees. Why anyone
should attempt to destroy his home
cannot be explained. 1t is believed,
however, that some disgruntled railway

washinston. July ao.-when Major ity Leader Payne. head of the House conferees on the tariff bill which bears his name, rose in the House today to present the report of the conference committee of the two Houses on the Dill. the measure had been in confer encs for just three weeks.
 Contending that the bill marks a general. downwaii tendency from pres. eut rates of duty Mfr. Payne presented an exhaustive analys.s of its provisions He undertook to show that there had been a marked decrease in the rates on the necessities of life. while admitting that there had been an increase on some of the luxurtes.
 Probably the most marked reductions through any schedule in the bill. as a result of the action of the two houses and of the Conference Committee. are found in the metal schedule. Begin ming with a decrease in the rate or Iron ore from 70 to 15 cents per ton, there fs d general reduction throughout that portion of the bill, pig Iron going down from 8 to S2.5o per ton and scrap iron from S4 to $l. The reduction on many of the items in this schedule amounts 10 about 50 per cent and this reduction includes steel rails There Is an in- crease on structural steel (ready for use) and also . slight Increase on razors, nippers and pliers and on such new metals as tungsten.
 Rough lumber goes down from S2 to s1.2s per thousand feet with core. spending reduction in the dinerentiai on dressed lumber.
 The wool schedule underwent no change of consequence but the entire cotton schedule was reconstructed and the phraseology greatly changed in the hope of preventing reductions through decisions by the courts such as have characterized the administration Of the Dingley law during later years. In many instances the rates intended to De imposed by the Dingley law were cut by these decisions, the reductions in some instances being from 60 per cent to g per cent ad valorem It IS estimated that the rates fixed by the bsil are about per cent higher on an average than those collected on cottons last year. The rates on cotton hosiery arc generally increased.
 Senate Wins on Gloves.
 Tn the much contested matter of the rate on gloves, the high protectionists failed to score. They sought, through m increase made by the House to raise tha duty materially above the Dingley figures but were antagonized by the Senate and the Senate won. the only
