deem says of him:
"Mr. Ellerman was a man who
made friends wherever he went.
and there was not a man on the
entire police force but what will
miss him. Since he left the
force he has been in close touch
with US personally, and we will
greatly miss him."
DR.. Nav of this place was also
well acquainted with the de-
ceased man, having known the
family in Owatonna, and lived

Grant County Telephone
Directors Meeting Accepts Plans and
Specifications for Improvements
and Work to be Commenced
Immediately

At a meeting of the directors
of the Grant County Telephone
company last Friday at which
Messrs. /. D. Aldrich, A. G.
Swanson and E. c.. Kast were
present, and to which Mr.. F. B.
Roberts was called in for con-
sultation, the plans and specitica-
tions submitted by Engineer
Heck of the Tri-State company,
were approved, and arrange
ments were made to finance the
work. The improvements to be
made will approximately cost
$4,000. The material and equip
ment have been ordered, and will
be here within a couple Of weeks
when a crew of telephone men
will be here and commence the
wOck.
Some threee stimates and plans
for the improved service was
made and the most complete one
adopted. Every foot of ofthepresent
1000 feet of cable in Milbauk will
be taken down and %, 900 feet of
new and larger cables will be put
up, practically covering all of the
business and residence districts
of the city. The present cable
capacity will be doubled, and i'm
portant changes and improve
ments in the central Office equip
ment will be made. The cables
crossing the track on Main street
will be placed underground. The
plans for doing the work are
made SO as not to inconvenience
patrons while the wires are be
ing replaced, and but little if any
disturbance of the service will
result. The company promises
that when the new cables are in
stalled and Improvements made
the system will be one of the
most complete and satisfactory
in the state.
That the Tri-State company is
willing to finance the project for
these improvements indica tes
that its managers believe the
local company to be on sound
and substantial basis and that the
improvements will prove pay
ing investment.

Saloon Making Money for City

The municipal saloon in Sisse.
ton is said to be doing good
business. The receipts on the
opening day were over $500, and
the average has been about 5000
a day since If this rate is kept
up for a year, the receipts will
total about 100000. Figuring
one-fOurth of that amount clear
profit, Ia low estimate] and the
city government will have made
$4,000 dollars out of the deal. AS
Sisseton has an Indebtedness of
$45, 900 it can clear the state in
three years by continuing in the
saloon buslness.-Browns Valley

Home. Again


Messrs. Franz Wendland and
Joseph Roggenbuck who had
been on two months trip to
Germany arrived home Thursday
Of last week. Both gentlemen
state that while they enjoyed
their trip immensely they were
glad to get home again and their
travels have only confirmed
them in the belief that South Da-
kota is a pretty good country to
live in. Mr.. Roggebuck had
been away from his native home
for p years, and though his
mother and some brothers and
sisters are still living in his early
home there were few other ties
that had any attraction for him
His home was pretty well to the
north of Prussia, a fact which
was brought to his attention
when he attempted to get up at
daylight one morning and dis
covered that it was two o'clock.
Many of the customs of the faith
erland now appear peculiar to
him though of course he did not
notice them in his early life in
Germany.
Mr.. Wendland, while at the old
home at Neubrandenburg had
the great pleasure of attending
the golden wedding celebration
of his parents. The Duke OF
Mecklenburg recognized the
event by sending large picture
of himself to Mr.. Wendland' s
father, and the latter states that
while he will not have any fortune
to bequeath his son upon his de.
cease he intends that this picture
shall be willed to him as a legacy.
| Franz says that those Of our
friends who think taxes are high
and conditions hard in this coun.
ty should take a trip to Europe,
where the soldier is continually
in evidence, and where even the
servant girl is called upon to give
q portion of her monthly salary
for the support of the govern
ment, and every workingman is
called upon to give a portion Of
bis wages directly for taxes.
Franz had the pleasure OF wit
Messing some Of the military
parade at the Emperor William s
coronation celebration and says
that it was very beautiful sight,
the great masses Of infantry,
cavalry and artillery moving as
if they were a machine. Franz
says that though there were
many beautiful places and some
conditions pleasing, he knows
that he could never again content
himself to remain in Germany
permanently, and that he was
glad to get back to America
again.

Decision Pleasing TO
Minnesota Officials

ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 10.--Never
before in the history of the stat" OF
Minnesota have railroad and political
circles been So stirred as today. as a
result of the supreme court decision
In the rate cases.
j. J. Hin. the railroad king" wss
more wrought up over the result ~
The suit al any time In the past decade
OF his career. II was first reported
that the decision OF the high court vas
favorable 10 the railroads and giear
iubilation followed in the headquar.
tiers of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern roads. Then came the later
reports that the decision was in favor
of the state. and railroad officials in
sisted that the latter report was mr.
true
When j. j. Hill was told the definite
news by a reporter he refused TO make
any comment, but later came from his
Office, saying:
You may as we'll try To talk 20
lamppost. because | will never say
anything on this subject"
Governor Eberhardt. who is just
launching a statewide fight for a rlb-
lie utilities commission. declared the
decision was vindication by the nip h
est court OF the principle OF state c m
troll Of all public utilities.
ut is the greatest triumph or TIE
principle of government control or cor
porations since the time OF the :.rsr

these creatures OF the state" declare
the governor. 1T indicates that the
supreme court believes I'm state cCh
troll as examplified by the railroad
commission, and In every way IL is a
progressive Interpretation OF the pro
gressive spirit OF the constitution.
Despite the efforts of many critics
to discourage the efforts OF the state
and to intimate that its officers We're
playing 10 the galleries in prosecuting
this action to the end, We have won a
most notable victory"
The governor took an active pare in
arguing the rights OF the state before
the supreme court.
Judge Sanborn, of the United States
circuit court OF appeals, who wrote the
decision. holding the Minnesota rate
laws unconstitutional, refused u az
press his views.
at Is the business OF the supreme
court to have the final say, and | do
not care to comment on the result at
this time" as his remark.
AS q result or the supreme court
decision. the railroads must refund 10
shippers approximately $3.000,0OG. the
difference between the rates charged
and the rates enjoined and now de-
clared lawful since June |, 1907. In
addition. every person who has ever
travelled in Minnesota, and has a re-
ceipt for his fare, can collect rebate
for every mile travelled. on every read
except the Minneapolis 4 st. Louis.
The railroad and warehouse com
mission has a table OF all commodity
