HEARINGS IN THE FAR WEST
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COMMITS
SION At SPOKANE,
Disputed Cases Involve Territory Be.
tween Chicago and Pacific
Coast.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Chairman
Knapp and Commissioners Clements
and Cockrell, of the Interstate Com
MERGE Commission have left Wash
ington for Spokane where the entire
commission will begin hearings in
probably the most important series Of
cases ever brought before the commits
sion. ,.....
While in the west the commission
will sit at Spokane, Seattle, San Fran
cisco, Reno, Ogden and Billings. Com
missioners Prouty and Clark are al
ready in the west and have held hear.
ings at Salt Lake, and Commissioner
Lane Is in Chicago on his way further
west.
The cases to be heard involve prac.
tically all, the rates. in dispute In the
territory lying" between Minneapolis
and Chicago: and the Pacific coast.
The complaints that have been filed
involve rates from eastern points to
the Rocky Mountain cities, and also
the rates back from the Pacific coast
to interior points. The question at is-
sue is how far water transportation
shall govern railroad rates in fixing
tariffs to inland cities.
The opinion Of the commissioners
generally is that the rate situation In
the Rocky Mountain and Pacific coast
states should be greatly improved, and
the cases about to be heard will, it is
believed, serve as a medium for re.
adjusting rates in that section.
In view of the fact that complaints
have been filed by practically all the
principal cities, the decisions Of the
commission will, it is believed, result
In settling the entire controversy.
Oscar G. Olsen, of Lennon, 8. D.;
has filed complaint with the Interstate
Commerce Commission against the

on shipments of various commodities

HARVEY cRIMMER TO QUIT |
GOVERNORS EXECUTIVE CLERK
DECLlNEs TO CONTINUE.
Friend Of Late Governor johnson
Fears Loyalty Might be
Questioned.

st. Paul, Sept. Sp-Harvey Grimmer
has declined to be Governor Eber-
harris executive clerk.
In signed statement, Mr.. Grimmer,
who, although he is Republican, has
been a staunch supporter of the late
Governor Johnson. says that Governor
Eberhart asked him to remain as his
executive clerk, but because of the
light he had been placed in by certain
members of the press, inference hav-
ing been made that his acceptance Of
favors by the new governor would be
construed as surrender Of loyalty to
the memory of one to whom he was
SO close he thinks 1t is his duty to
retire. Mr.. Grimmer says:
"At the suggestion Of number Of
my Republican friends In different
parts Of the state, Governor Dberhart
very kindly asked me to remain as
his executive clerk. l am free to say
that like the berth and my original
intention was that II the place were
rendered me, should remain. saw
no improperly in an acceptance of the
OFFER should one be made without per-
sonal solicitation on my part. It
seemed to me to be a parallel case to
that of Mr.. Cortslyou when he re-
manned as President McKinley's SEQ
rotary at the end of the second Cleve-
land administration.
During the past few days, we'll in.
tentioned newspapers, in commenting
upon prospective changes at the capt.
toll, have given my past political serv-
ices a value out Of all proportion to
their real merits and have placed mo
in position where the acceptance of
favor from Governor Eberhart's ad-
ministration might, to tho unthinking,
be construed us n surrender of loyalty
to the memory of one to whom I was
in the nature Of things very close. and
this, of course. with no reflection on
Governor Eberhart.
Governor Eberhart has not made
any decision relative to his selection
Ola private secretary. 1t Is generally
understood that Charles 8. Mitchell.
editor of the Duluth News Tribune, is
under consideration, but Governor
Eberhart says he has made no offer
to Mr.. Mitchell. absolutely denying
the statement that he had done 50.

Cloudy Bright.

There's . romping on the stairway, cd.
There's q holler in the hall,
There's q racket in the kitchen.
There's . loud, far-reaching call
And z chorus Of glad answers,
Lifting, laughing, full of play,
For the baby that was ailing
Yesterday is well today.
Just last night she moaned and
tumbled
In her sleep. and moaned and cried,
And her father and her mother
Stood beside her anxious eyed;
Watching, watching, watching, praying
All the blue black nighttime
through,
Now she hides behind a curtain
With her lips pursed for "Boo!"
Daddy went away this morning
To, his labor in the town
Ere the baby had awakened, :
On his brow troubled frown;
And he worried, worried, worried
Till his soul was sick with care,
Now he's hiding in some corner
From the baby-she's a bear. -
You could see how worry gripped him
When he turned into the street.
You could see that he was barking
For the baby's flying feet,
You could see that he was watching
Frightened, for the yellow. curls
Lifting on the evening breezes,
OF the best of little girls,
And he did not see her coming
Hands outstretched adown the street,
And he did not catch the patter
OF the flying baby feet,
And he tiptoed through the hallway
With a heavy heart and sore,
And the baby bounced to meet him,
Laughing, just inside the door.
There is laughter in the hallway,
There's a giggle on the stair.
There is singing in the Kitchen
Babes pretending she's bear,
And she says she's "gona eatchu!"
And the clouds have rolled away:
For the baby that was ailing
Yesterday is we'll today.

Former CoetederateS q Keeper OF
AndersoEville Prison q Martyr.
Andersonville, ga, May 12.-Mem-
cries of the days Immediately after
the close Of the Civil wal were re
vived here today by the unwilling Of
a monument to the memory Of Cap.
tain Henry Wir, keeper of Anderson
Vile prison, who was hanged by the
federal authorities after the war, al.
though the speakers referred happily
to the spirit of reunion and common
interest that has taken the place Of
the bitterness of the past.
The unwilling of the monument was
attended by Veterans of the COME :
crate Armies, Sons of Veterans and
Daughters of the Confederacy. In the
speeches Captain Wir was called a
martyr to the Confederate cause.
In August, 1866, Captain Wir was
placed on trial on the charge Of con-
spring with others to injure the
health and destroy the lives of SOL
diers in the service Of the United
States held and being at the time
prisoners of war. Another charge
was murder in violation of the laws
and customs of war. He was accused
of extreme cruelty toward the Federal
prisoners. After a long and tedious
trial he was condemned to death.
The sentence of the military court
was executed Nov. 10, 1855.
