Milwaukee Passenger Held in Man
kato All Night.

Milwaukee freight train No. 1854,
due to leave Mankato at 4:30 p. M,
pulled out last evening at 1880 o'clock.
When the train was two miles this
side of Rapidan, an Illinois Central re-
frigerator car jumped the track. The
fact was not discovered by the train
crew until the train had run a quarter
of mile. Then the trucks got cross
ways with the track, and the refrig-
orator car and box car, both empty,
were Spilled" The cars were not
badly damaged, and no persons or mer-
chandise were injured The track was
blocked all night, and the wreck was
not gotten out of the way until early
this morning. 1t was not found neces-
sary to secure the services of a wreck
ing crew.
The $3.50 a. m. sOuthbOund mixed
train was the first to go out today,
and was followed at six o'clock by
the passenger train from the north,
which arrived at about ten o'clock last
evening and was held all night in
this city. This train was crowded
with people returning from the state
fair, and most of them remained on
the train, and the rest were taken
care of at local hotels. 1t was a long
wait for all of them.

SHEKELS FROM PEOPLE.
Burden of Proof of the Reasonableness
of the Charges Rests Upon the
Railroad Companies; Advance Would
Result in Taking $3o,ooo,ooo Out
of Pockets of Shippers Each Year;
What May Be Done.

New York, September Hearing in
the fight for and against tine raising
of freight rates in the territory east
of the Mississippi and north of the
Ohio river was resumed today before
the interstate commerce commission.
AT the preliminary hearing last month
counsel for the railroads pleaded for
a delay, promising that this would af-
ford them opportunity to prepare their
evidence in such manner as to as
sure an expeditions hearing. 1t is eX-
pected that the hearing will now pro-
coed rapidly.
What the Increase Means.
The increase of rates as demanded
by the transportation companies will
involve an additional cost to the ship
pers of the territory involved of about
$30,000000 year. As this tremendous
total, if the increase is granted, must
eventually be paid by the consumer,
the entire population of the states
north of Kentucky and east of Mis-
souri, and Iowa will be affected by
the decision of the commission. SINH
lar increases will also be put into
effect by western and southern roads
if permitted, so that in reality the en-
tire nation is interested in the hearing
commenced today.
Rests With the Railroads
In opening the hearing, Judge G. n
Brown, the chief examiner for the com.
mission, pointed out that the burden
of proof of the reasonableness of the
increased tariff of freight rates rested
on the roalroads, pursuant to the
amendment to the act> to regulate
interstate commerce, passed June Is,
1910, and not on the shippers or the
United States government, as form
erly. The new rate tariff has been sls
pended. pending the result of the ex.
animation, until November l. and the
investigation will be concluded before
that time and the decision of the
commission announced

In his remarks following the BAN
quet Rev. Mr.. Black pointed with pride
to the record of the year and declared
it was unique. The spirit of CONNER
calism, he felt, was hurting the work
of many churches and he rejoiced that
they had succeeded with theirs with
out begging.
Rev. Mr. Black took occasion to an
swer the frequent question: "Do / be-
lieve in the new thought" He said he
felt the name had been abused and
made the cloak of much wrong and
that its adoption would make him a
sectarian. While there is much in the

WOW! AMT IT AWFUL, HANS?
Shortage of the Kraut Crop; Cincin.
natl Is in Mourning.

Cincinnati, September Not since
the year of the great freeze which de-
strOyed all the hop trees has there
been such grief in Cincinnati Ohio is
the center of the nations sauer kraut
industry, and news from many Sec
tions of the state indicates that the
1910 crop will be very short and of a
poor quality. kraut makers fear that
the supply will not come near the, de-
mand. and unusually high prices will
probably be charged. There have been
rumors recently of stiff raise
in the price of beer, and re-
ports from Germany say that the
limburgher cheese is strong-as to the
price--and likely to become stronger.
The sauer kraut shortage, coming on
top of the other threatened calam-
tiles, will make the 'high cost of liv-
ing" a live issue to the German popu,
lation.

POST CARD IS C[EW TO
LOST HEIR; CASH IS HIS
ORNELIUS CARNEY MAKES
KNOWN HIS IDENTITY.
Was Believed to Have Died in the San
Francisco Earthquake and Fire in
1906; Chance Sending of an Epistls
to Sister Leads to, His Receiving
Share in a Three Million Dollar
Estate.

Chicago, September An unusual
story of a lost heir to q S3,000,000 es.
tate whose chance mailing of a SOU
venir post card win bring him $4,000
was revealed in the probate court. The
man is Cornelius Carney, now resi-
dent of Oklahoma City, who was
thought to have persisted in the San
Francisco earthquake and fire in April,
1906.
The story told in court ran like
this:
He was born thirty years ago in
Troy, n Y, member of large fam
lily whose head, John Carney, was far
more noted for his convivial habits
than for his thrift and industry. Con.
sequently the little Carneys found life
in Williams street alley a struggle in
which dirt and want were daily factors.
Finally Sent to Asylum.
After being very bad for a long
time the condition of the Carney fam
lily became worse and Cornelius was
sent to children's asylum.
There wasn't much in life in Will
liams street alley but liberty-there
was plenty of that-and the compare
tive comfort of the asylum couldn't
compensate Cornelius for the loss of
his freedom, so when he was old
enough to care for himself-l3 years
old, to be exact-Cornelius ran away
and started out to see the world.
After several years of wandering
Carney enlisted in the United States
Marine Corps He served for six years,
and i'm that time visited every port
you ever heard of and more beside.
Early in 1906 Carney was in China
and wrote home that he was sailing
soon for San Francisco. That was the
! last his relatives heard of him in
years.
Aunt Leaves 100000 Estate.
/ In 1908 Mrs. Anna +. Baker, who
was Mrs. Carney's sister, died in Chi
cago, leaving an estate of $3,OO0,000,
of which considerable part went to
the Carney children, who had grown
up and prospered in Troy. To settle
up the estate it was necessary to find
Cornelius alive or prove him dead, and
one was about as hard a task as the
other.
Finally the courts decided Cornelius
was dead although he was married
and living in Oklahoma.
Within a short time Cornelius share
in his aunt's estate would have gone
/ to Cook county, but just in the nick
of time Cornelius sent souvenir post
card to his sister, Mrs. Lizzie Pratt
of Troy. who at once wrote him that
ne was an heir to his aunt's estate.
In court, Carney proved his heir
ship and will get the $4,000 before
long.
