Lower Than in U. S.

Washington, Feb. 2.-Among other
things brought out at the hearing be-

That rates to shippers of parcels

cent higher than the domestic rates
for the transportation for a like parcel
between the same points and for the

originates In France nearly 100 per

Short Circuits

A Devils Lake lady who had been
mildly reproached by her husband con-
corning her culinary accomplishments,
determined to redeem herself by max
ing with her own hands a plum pud-
ding, dish that she knew him to be
particularly fond of. So she decided
that she would go to the grocery store
and to begin with select the choicest
materials herself. She resolved to take
no chances on the whins or careless.
nessness of any groceryman.
"In the first place. said the lady
to the grocer, who stood at attention
with his order book in hi shand, ct
want some very choice plums. I am
going to make plum pudding for my
husband which I aim to be great
success, sort Of triumph, as it were.''
"Plum pudding? Wllatchu want of
plums for that sort of thing9" said the
grocer, "What's the matter with lay.
er raisinss''
This woman was smart. Instead of
being covered with confusion, she re-
allied that she had made an error and
with perfect poise came back with:
"Did say plumss Certainly, lay.
er raisins will be just the thing. l
wonder that I had not thought of that
at once''

.P'R0CRESS|VES TO
SUPPORT HANNA
NUMBER HAVE WRITTEN MONT
NEE FOR GOVERNOR PLEpG-
ING SUPPORT IN FALL.

Now that the primaries are fully ov-
er and the republican state ticket has
been completed yannounced, large
number Of the leading progressivcs
throughout the state who were active
in the support of Mr.. Buchanan have
declared themselves to be heartily SUP
porting Congressman Hanna, the re-
publican candidate for governor. and
the entire state ticket.
Among these leaders are Senator A.
T. Kraabel of Clifford, republican nom-
inee for lieutenant governor; w. C..
Taylor commissioner of insurance and
others. In long letter to Mr.. Hanna
congratulating him over his recent vic
tory, Commissioner of Insurance Iay-
lor announces his intention of enthus1
iastically supporting thu Fargo con-
gresham and working for him during
the coming campaign. Mr.. Taylcr's
letter follows:
"Now that doubt has been resolved
into certainty, l desire to felicitate
you upon the fact that your candidacy
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor of North Dakota, has been
crowned with success and to assure
you Of my hope that this bud by the
summers ripening breath will prove
beauteous flower when next we meet
in November.
ct supported Mr.. Buchanan in the
primaries, but I said nothing Of your
campaign which will make it at all
embarrassing or inconsistent for me
to support you heartily and sincerely
in the forthcoming contest with 'our
friends, the enemy
81 have no doubt Of the result of
that contest so far as you are con-
cerned. Two years ago there was
much disaffection in the finsurgent'
ranks following the primary election
and considerable number of infuen.
tial republican papers refused to sup
port the gubernatorial nominee. They
led revolt. But am sure there will
be no such disaffection this year and in
my opinion your election is a certain
ty.
"Again assuring you of my personal
regard and well wishes, I beg to re.
main sincerely yours.
-"W. C. TAYLOR"
Many such enthusiastic letters have
been received by Mr.. Hanna since the
result Of the primary has become
known. Senator Kraabel, in extend :ng
his congratulations, said:
"Alow me to congratulate sou on
your victory at the recent primary
election. It goes without saying that
the whole ticket will have my undivid-
ed support"
Other congratulatory letters, in
which active support is volunteered,
have been received from c. A. John
son, former Governor Devine, superin-
tendent Of Public instruction Taylor
and Senator Leslie a. Simpson.

COWS GO ON RAMPAGE
AT WEsTBRooK, MAINE.

PORTLAND, Me-, July 9.-At West
brook, three cows wandered down
Main street, entered the Edmunds
block, climbed a flight of stairs and
visited the office of Judge Frank P.
Bride Of the municipal court. There
they demolished a box of cigars and
sent the furniture flying in all direc-
tions.
: Judge Pride thew a bottle of red
ink at them.
The cows then made their way to
the telephone exchange, but were fin
ally driven down the stairs to the
street, after they had frightened the
young women operators from their
boards.
