UPH0LDs PURE FOOD LAW
Decision Rendered by Minnesota Su-
preme Court.


preme Court.
The pure food statute was upheld
by the state supreme court when
it affirmed the decision of the
Hennepin county district court,
which granted judgment in favor of
Jacob Meshbesher against the Chan
helene Oil and Manufacturing com
pany, which was an action for dam
ages on account of sickness caused
from eating oil sold by the defendant
concern.
g Another phase of the decision is to
make the manufacturer, instead of the
dealer, liable for violations of the act.
The defendant sold the oil to a re-
tail grocer of Minneapolis and the
plaintiff purchased quart of it for
cooking purposes. It was guaranteed
to be pure, but an analysis showed it
consisted of 40 per cent of mineral oil
and 60 per cent of cottonseed oil. In
the lower court the plaintiff was
awarded 500 damages,
The court also holds that even
though there were no express war
ranty that the oil was pure the de-
PENDANT was liable in an implied war
ranty, since it was sold for cooking
purposes.

knew nothing of military tactics and
neither did his men. AS for discipline,
the soldiers obeyed when they wanted
to, which was only now and then
Lincoln was more fortunate than most
of the captains and colonies, however.
in that he had the respect and good
will Of his men. Besides he could lick
anybody in the company, which count
ed for something in those days.
For long and weary miles the vol
unteers followed Black Hawk and
finally wore him out and chased him
off the map. After Abe's company
was disbanded he re.enlisted in

before. At one time he found a mar,

MURDER IN MINNEAPOLIS
an Found Dead on Porch of
Boarding House.

Mayk Mates, supposed to be a Sla
vonian, tWenty-four years of age,
was murdered in q boarding house
at Minneapolis conducted by Andrew
Ocak. Mrs. Ocak notified the police
that the body of man was lying on
their front porch. The police found
that the mans head had been beaten
in and continuing their investigations
they discovered a bloody trail leading
from Mates room in the house
through the hall to the front porch.
In Mates room they found a bucket
of bloody water, an iron poker COW
cred with blood and a suit of blood
stained clothes.
The police are searching for John
Baca, who roomed with Mates. The
two men worked in a local grain ele-
vator, but Mates had not been work
ing for couple of nights and the
police learned that Baca> and Mates
quarreled because Mates had not been
at work.

FALL CAUSES FATAL INJURY
Former State Senator Torson Dead
at ST, Paul.

S'''S 0AdlS senator IOfSon DEAD
at st. Paul.
Thomas Torson of st. James, ex.
state senator and representative and
appointed to clerkship in the legis.
lature two weeks ago, died at the
Luther hospital at ST. Paul from in
juries received in falling down a flight
of stairs in his boarding house in the
Capital City. His death was due to
hemorrhage of the brain and a weak.
ened heart
Mr.. Torson, according to his ply
sician, had been i'll for more than a
year and the fall down stairs agra
waited his condition.
Mr.. TorsOn was born in Wisconsin
in 1852 and with his parents he came
to Minnesota two years later. Since
then he had always made his home
within the state and was known as
one of it's pioneers. He had for many
years geen prominent in state poll
tics.
For nineteen years he was register
of deeds of Watonwan county: men,
Der of the city council of st. James
for three years and justice of the
peace for seven years. He was first
elected to the legislature in 1894 and
ne served four terms. He was later
elected to the senate.

Street Car Magnate Passes
Away at Minneapolis.
HAD BEEN i'll THREE YEARS
Suffered From tuberculosis and
Complications.

Thomas Lowry, president of the
Twin City Rapid Transit company
and the Minneapolis, st. Paul and
Sault Ste. Marie Railroad company, is
dead at Minneapolis, aged sixty-five.
Death came as the result of linger-
ing illness. For many months the
public has understood that Mr.. Lowry
was battling with hopeless illness,
tuberculosis, aggravated by paralysis
and other complications. For weeks
he has grown slowly more feeble. Sew
eral days before the end a decided
change came for the worse and from
that day he grew constantly weaker.
No man in the Twin Cities is more
generally known than Thomas Lowry
He was born in Logan county, ILL.,,
Feb. p, 1S43. He was admitted to the
bar at Rushville, ILL.,, in 1857, coming
to Minneapolis the same year.
That marked the beginning of a
career which meant much to the Twin
Cities, as well as to the state and the
entire Northwest. He was the
father" as it were, and present head
of the Twin City Rapid Transit sys-
tenn. He was president of the Mime
apolis, st. Paul and Sault Ste. Marie
railway and was financially interested
in many of the large corporate enter
prises of the Northwest. He was a
member of many of the leading clubs
here and in the East.
In politics Mr.. Lowry was Repub-
lican, although he never held office.
In 1901, following the death of Sen
ator Cushman K. Davis, his friends
persuaded him to seek the place, but
Moses E. Clapp was selected by the
legislature after short, strenuous
campaign.

lay it to Abe's partner, who belonged
to the fly by night persuasion, and
others say that Lincoln himself spent
too much time reading and telling
yarns and was not close enough in
driving bargains. At any rate, the
store went under and poor Lincoln
shouldered the debts for the entire
concern. 1t took him years to pay up,
but he finally did it to the last dollar
When man pays his debts like that
he is bound either to become great or
go to the poorhouse Nearly all the
immortals at some time in their career
get in the Lole financially and rake
and scrape till they hand over the last
cent. Sir Walter Scott and Mark
Twain are two conspicuous examples
I wish more people were ambitious tc
be great and felt they could not do it
except in that way.
The only man who can become illus
trious and not pay his debts is gen.
1us, and the average genius breaks all
the rules and most of the laws.
With poor Lincoln this was not
joke. He did not get all those store
debts out of the way till long after he
had become lawyer. His integrity
was so well known that everybody
trusted him, with one or two excep-
lions. 1t was at about this time that
he gained the sobriquet of Honest
Abe" The title of honorable is de.
rived from the, same root, but honest
means more. Almost anybody can be
an honorable, but Lincoln was so hon
est that he could not take bad case
and remained poor all his life.
It was during his mercantile expert
ence that lie became soldier. He
himself has given a humorous account
of his military exploits. 1t appears
that he was never in battle, but he is
not the only soldier that never smelled
gunpowder except in passing ammu-
milton wagons. Lincoln was elected
