English Railways Suffer.

London Standard: The remarkable
statement was made at Crewe yester
day in police court case that dur
ing the year no fewer than 10000
railway companies in this country,
The estimate is a broad one, and is
believed to refer to the whole of the
railways companieh in this country
although this was not made clear by
the evidence. Railway officials, how
ever endorse the statement, and ex-
traordinary though it may appear, one
reason adduced for the frequency of
the thefts is that the majority of the
articles are taken as souvenirs. By
far the greatest number of towels are
lost on the lines to the north of Eng
land which, in itself, is a significant
fact. For many years the towels used
by the companies on the trains were
stamped on the edges with the name
of the railway, but when, a few years
ago, it was discovered that the supply
had to ! e rep'enished after practically
every journey, new plan was adopted.
The name of the company was woven
into the material in such a bold pat
tern as to make it impossible for it
to be cut out without destroying the
towel. But this did not stop the
thefts, and thus the conclusion is ir-
resistible that souvenir hunters are
the chief offenders.
On occasions train attendants have
received instructions to count the tow
els towards the end of Journey, but
even then, when the disappearance
are noted, it is impossible to institute
search Of the whole of the passeng-
ers. The plan has also been tried of
attaching the towels to chains, but in
these cases the chains, too, have gone,
making double loss. The matter al
though not actually a serious one for
the railway companies-for the
value of the towels is only about 2hd
each--is at least irritating. 1t has
been found that there are quite as
many offenders travelling first-class as
third
But it is not only towels which at
tract the attention of these petty
thieves. Drinking glasses by the hun
dred disappear every year, whilst it
is most unusual to find at the end of
the journey the piece Of soap furnish
ed at the beginning to each toilet
compartment. Water bottles, too, dis
appear in large numbers, and they are
a much more costly item than the
towels. Amongst other things which
cannot be kept are window straps, ash
trays fixed into the window ledge,
paintings and photographs of resorts,
etc, whilst-incredible though it may
appear-cases have occurred more
than once where seat cushions and
heavy footwarmers have been stolen.
Window straps are now Jess popular
with the thieves, for care is taken to
make them as little like razor strops
as possible,

A. c. DRAWS FROM
OTHER COLLEGES
FIND THAT PRACTICAL
WORK CAN BE SECURED HERE
AND THEY COME FROM OTHER
SCHOOLS - CLASS WORK BE-
GAN TO-DAY.

That the North Dakota Agricultural
college is one of the foremost schools
in all it's departments is evident from
the fact that number of students
have selected the A. c. over their for
mer schools because of the splendid
work done here. Among the students
to enter at the A. C. this year was
Fred Smith Peterson, who came from
the state university at Grand Forks.
Mr.. Smith Peterson said that he was
not convinced That the work at Grand
Forks was practical enough for him,
and after examining the courses of
fered in the same lines at the A. c..
he found just what he wanted along
the line of practical courses. He is
taking full mechanical course in the
engineering department. This morn
ing another young man matriculated
from the state liberal arts school.
Several students have entered at the
A. G. this year from the aricultural
department of the University of Min
nesota all of which goes to show the
high standing of the Fargo school.
Class work began in earnest this
morning, but several sections were
found to be overcrowded. Because of
the large enrollments, several new
teachers will be added to the faculty

among those much overcrowded.

MILLS FOR U. S.
COMMERCE COURT
COMMERCIAL CLUB OF MoORHEAD
TAKES ACTION ON FORMER DIS
TRlcT JUDGE WHO HAS "MADE
GOOD" AS A RAILROAD COM
MISSIONER.

The Hon. Ira b. Mills of this city,
chairman Of the state railroad and
warehouse commission, was unani-
mousIy endorsed by the commercial
club OF Moorhead last night for ap-
pofntment by President Taft as mem
Der of the newly created Commerce
court. A copy OF the formal resolution
will be sent to Washington forthwith.
For seven years Mr.. Mills was a
Judge Of the district court and for the
past seventeen years the people of the
state have continuously elected him a
member of the railroad commission
which, the country over, has been con-
sidered an authority ON transportation
matters. The decisions OF the Mime
sofa commission have never been re-.
versed In the state or federal courts.
Not only has Judge Mills been endors-
ed by his home state, but he has the
full endorsement of several other
states, including Nebraska, Texas and
Colorado.

The voters in city, county and dis
trict told their stories at the primaries
yesterday held for the nomination of
candidates for congress-, legislature,
Judge of the district court, and county
offices. For county auditor and treas
urer, Messrs. Houglum and Paulson
were unopposed, and this was not the
year for the election of clerk of court.
There were two fights in Clay county
of paramount interest, state senator
and sheriff, and the results in these
two instances are somewhat of a sur
prise. F. H. Peterson, candidate for
senator and for reelection, carried his
home county only by about so votes,
but he was badly beaten by Mr.. Mar
den in Moorhead. Archie Whaley only
defeated Jalmer Erickson for sheriff
by about Is votes.
The battle between s. o. Tang and
Miss Rushfeldt for county superin-
tendent of schools was exceedingly
animated. Miss Rushfeldt running like
a whirlwind in city and country. The
victory for the lady is a well deserved
one, for she worked hard for the po-
sition TO which she aspires. The race
for coroner was closer than was gen.
orally expected.
Congressman Steenersson was given
a handsome endorsement in Clay over
his opponent, Mr.. Bjorge of Lake Park.
The race for representative was a
walkaway for S. N. Lee and it Is gen.
orally conceded that he will make
splendid colleague of Senator Marden.
Election Notes.
With several precincts missing, late
this afternoon, over the sixtieth sena-
toriaI district, it was stated at repub-
lican committee headquarters that the
final figures would show that Mr.. Mar
den won over Mr.. Peterson by about
800 votes. Thirty-s six out OF forty pre-
cincts in Clay county gave Marden
1858 and Peterson 1912.
Thirty-seven precincts out Of forty
and the three missing ones aggregating
not to exceed eighty votes, gave the
candidates for sheriff votes as follows:
Bayer, 557; Erickson, S67; Murphy,
444; Whaley, 962, making the latters
plurality 95.
Fo. representative Mr.. Lee received
] All votes and Mr.. McGrath 1908. For
district Judge, as far as heard from, it
was horse race between Mr.. Johnson
of Detroit and Mr.. Mason OF Fergus
Falls in Clay county. 1t is conceded
that Mr.. Mason will be the nominee Of
the district.
DiIworth gave Miss Rushfeldt' for
superintendent of schools, splendid
endorsement. 129 votes to twenty two
for S. o. Tang, the present incumbent
IF the office. Miss Rushfeldt has the
distinction of being the first woman
elected to the office in Clay county.
In the case of Mr.. Lee, for represen-
tative, the voters demonstrated that
they rather like a farmer who spends
his winter evenings reading good books
and studying the affairs of the state
and nation.
Things have changed. the senator
ship has gone south and representative
has come north-change about is fair
play.
DIR. Verne made a good race against
strong odds, in every precinct he got
a good vote, but not quite enough.
County Attorney Johnson's letter to
the voters must have been effective
he told them what he had done and
what he had not done.

Grain Letter.

Chicago, Sept. 21.--Wheat--The mar
ket opened about NO lower and prices
ruled within narrow range. Consider
ing the weakness in corn the market
could not be called weak one, al
though there was less confidence shown
by buyers.
There was selling for foreign &C
count today. Export limits seemed to
be entirely out of line. With the pres
emit lack of outside interest and export
demand, larger stocks and big pre-
miums on the futures, it seems rather
a hard proposition to bull wheat at
