SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS THE
STATE OF MINNESOTA AFTER
SIX-YEAR FIGHT-GREAT NOR
THERN AND NORTHERN PA
CIFIC AFFECTED.

After a six-year fight in the various
courts, the Supreme court Of the Unit
ed States has decided that the states
have power to fix reasonable inter
state rates on interstate railroads I'M
til such time as congress shall chose
to regulate those rates.
The question was the Minnesota
passenger and freight rate cases,
growing out Of a law which placed
the maximum passenger charge at 2
cents mile and regulated the freight
rates. The railway companies con-
sidered that the state had no right to
pass such law, but nevertheless will
have to pay in the state treasury
about $3,OOO,OOO.
In the case of the Minneapolis and
st. Louis road, it was held that the
state would confiscate the property,
therefore was enjoined from enforc-
ing these laws at present.

A cablegram from Madagascar, read
at the national convention of the Unit
ed Norwegian Lutheran church in ST
Paul, Mimi, last week, containing in
seven words the news that the French
government had removed all restric-
tons upon missionary activity of the
church in that island, provoked a
demonstration of deep emotion, the
entire assemblage rising spontaneous
ly and joining in the hymn, Nov
Thank We All Our God" The mes
sage, dated at Fort Dauphin, NADIA
gascar, and addressed to Rev. M Sat
erie of Minneapolis, read as follows:
"Church law opens country; future
bright; send workers" The United
Norwegian Lutheran synod has sew
eral educational and charitable insti-
tutions and large number of churches
and stations on Madagascar. The
French government, which controls
the island, has for many years ham,
pered the work and for a time closed
all churches and commanded the mis-
sionaries to cease from teaching on
penalty of being arrested. The United
church has raised about $50, 1000 for
foreign missionary work and the chief
activities are upon this island. 1t
appears that the French government
has adopted new church laws which
will give this church the opportunity
which it has long sought and prayed
for.

The Norwegian "Sangerforbund's

considered it was one of the biggest
events ever held by Norwegians in
the United States. The reception ac-
corded the singers by DEBORAH, the
seat of Luther college, was hospitable
in the extreme, the city being decorat-
ed in Norwegian and American colors
and hotels and private homes all be-
ing open for the accommodation of
chorus of 200 male voices participant
ed. One of the chief attractions and
perhaps the greatest was Madame
Inga Orner, the famous Norwegian
prima donna, who came over from the
old country few months ago and who
sang with the Metropolitan Opera
company in New York last winter.
Her rendition of Den Store Hvide
Flok," together with the great male
chorus, was one of the great features

SOAP TABLETS FOR TOURISTS
New Preparation That Is Likely to
Appeal to Traveller Of Fastldious
Tastes.

Somehow soap powder has never
taken the fancy Of fastidous folk.
It is not especially pleasant to use
and It never smells like anything but
the Mushroom of a railway station or
department store. It, moreover, has q
way Of sprink1ing itself around every
where except on the hands In a messy
and disagreeable way, and dainty wo-
men who travel will have none Of
1t, preferring to Gerry the wet cake
of personally preferred toilet soap
In q rubber lined receptacle in the
travelling bag. A new soap tablet,
however. will be likely to appeal to
the fastidious traveller, because Of its
convenience and the attractive way it
IL put up. Fifty of these tablets are
packed like bonbons In a pretty little
box less than three inches square. A
pair OF nickel tweezers are tucked in
the box for extracting the tablets
again like bonbons-and the tablets
themselves, though firm in compost
ton, dissolve easily in the water. And
the entire package costs no more than
the ordinary cake of good toilet
soap.
