DENY NEW LINE is TO BE BUILT.
Milwaukee Road Gives Little Hope to
Farmers Around WiIImar.

Willmar.-In reply to an inquiry by
large delegations of farmers through
the Willmar Commercial Club as to
the probability of the Milwaukee com
pany building the line of road pro-
jected from Hutchinson to Fargo in
the near future letter has been re-
ceived from Vice-President E. w. Nc
Kenna containing the following state.
ment:
I'm respect to building line upon a
survey between Hutchinson and Far
go, which was made by this company
last summer, the. company has abso-
lutely no plans in that direction, as it
must be patent to an observer OF
events that the construction of any ad.
ditional mileage of railway under ex.
listing conditions is entirely out of the
question"
There is little doubt, however, that
this line will eventually be built, and
that concerted action will be made
by people interested in this and ad
joining counties to convince the com
pany that route via Willmar, Sun
burg and Starbuck would tap a coun
try of far greater possibilities than
that reached by the first survey.

PLEADS GUILTY TO ARSON.
Several More to Face Trial in Connec
tion With the Same Offense.

Glenwood. - Richard Rogers of
ing of a store in Westport, last
June, had his hearing in justice court
and was bound over to the district
court. He pleaded guilty before Judge
Flaherty to arson in the third degree,
and was sentenced to four and one
half years at hard labor in the prison
at Saltwater.
When asked whether he had any
thing to say, Rogers said he had been
hired to do the work. He received a
letter stating that there was 500 for
him for doing a certain job. He met
and asked him what he was to do.
On arriving at Glenwood a team was
hired in the evening, and when the
men arrived at Westport he was or
dered to set fire to the store. He did
not know uBtil he reached Westport
what he was to do. Rogers is 40 years
old. He has no trade, he says, but
makes his money by gambling.
The case of the state against Will
liam Jones was then taken up. Jones
was indicted last June by the grand
jury in connection with the same fire.
The state is represented by County At
torney j. o. Grove and State Senator
c. J. Gunderson. Jones is defended
by H. T. Ronning.
Indictments have also been found
against James Adair of ST. Paul, who
owned the stock, and Harry Weller
who was in charge of the store for
Adair.

SAVED OLD LADY'S HAIR

"My mother used to have very bad
humor on her head which the doctors
called an eczema, and for it had two
different doctors. Her head was very
sore and her hair nearly all fell out
in spite of what they both did. One
day her niece came in and they were
speaking of how her hair was falling
out and the doctors did it no good.
She says, Aunt, why don't you try
Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint-
ment? Mother did and they helped
her. In six months time the itching,
burning and scalding of her head was
over and her hair began growing. To-
day she feels much in debt to Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment for the fine
head of hair she has for an old lady
of seventy-four.
"My own case was an eczema in my
feet. AS soon as the cold weather
came my feet would itch and burn and
then they would crack open and bleed.
Then I thought 1 would flee to my
mothers friends, Cuticura Soap and
Cuticura Ointment. did for four or
five winters, and now my feet are as
smooth as any ones. Ellsworth Dun

GAS PLANT WORK STOPPED.
Waseca Mayor Refuses to Approve of
City Franchise.

Waseca.-The Waseca Gas Com.
pany's franchise, which has been the
issue in two general and two special
elections, has been brought before the
district court for determination as to
it's validity, by the filing of a petition
for an injunction restraining the gas
company from further work on their
mains and plant. This franchise was
granted in special election about two
years ago, but the council at that time
refused to allow the company to build
the plant, and a special election was
called by the council for the purpose
of voting bonds for a municipal gas
plant. Municipal ownership was voted
down and in the next general election
council favorable to the gas fran
chise was elected. The franchise was
granted, but the mayor refused to ap-
prove it. Notwithstanding this the
company commenced work and has
proceeded with the building of the
plant until the restraining order was
issued. The stockholders of the COM
pany are all residents of this city.

PRoGREssIvEs RALLY TO CALL.
Sidney Anderson Sends Acceptance OF
Invitation.

st. Paul. - The mass meeting of
Progressive Republicans to be held in
the Twin Cities, Jan. 4, will be large.
ly attended and a success from every
standpoint if the results bear out the
indications. Frank B. Lamson, Sec
rotary of the Progressive Republican
league. says that acceptance of invita-
lions to attend the meeting are far
in excess Of their expectations and
that many of the best known leaders
in the Republican party will identify
themselves with the movement at the
mass meeting. The acceptance of
Congressman-Elect Anderson from the
First District was received.
The idea that third party was to
be the outcome of the meeting was
declared by Mr. LamSOn to be absurd
and to have arisen from a newspaper
editorial that had no foundation in
fact. The sentiment of the meeting
will include opinions on ten questions.
The first two must be answered ia
vorably by all delegates before al
lowed seat in the convention.
The questions follow:
1. Adoption of the initiative, refer
endum and recall.
2. Extension of primary election
law to all elective public officials,
United States senators and delegates
to national convention.
8. Nomination of all judges by nor-
partisan petition.
4. Establishment of bureau of legis-
lative research.
5. County option.
6. Amendment to corrupt practices
act to prevent expenditures of large
amounts of money in primary and
general elections.
Z. Federal income tax.
8. Placing all public employees I'M
der civil service.
9. Adoption of Wisconsin and Iowa
ad valorem system of railway taxa
ton.
10. Adoption of home rule charters
by majority vote.
A paper prepared in simple English
showing the working of the initiative
and referendum in states where it
has become a law, is issued by the
league and brief explanation of what
the two terms mean is also given.
