HONEY AND WAX.

The excessive rearing of bro0ds at
the wrong season or increase in the
number of colonies greatly reduces the
surplus honey crop by consumption.
Instead of fussing with the bees the
beekeeper had better devote his time
to getting things in shape for the COM
ing season-putting hives and sections
together, for instance and thus have

June.
It's a mistaken economy to use little

while the full sheets will cost little
more, yet the compensating advan-

pay. for the added cost In Stralghtef

Tragedy Believed to BE Due to the
Intense Heat.
William Metcalf, a prosperous farm
er living three miles north of Lake
City, shot and killed his wife with a
shotgun and then turned the weapon
on himself. Part of his jaw was
blown away. He may recover.
+, Two children of the couple, five and
six years old, were the only witnesses
to the tragedy. The older of them
ran to a neighbor's: and gave the
alarm.
Metcalf had been working on road
during the day and became overhead
ed. He went to the house, obtained
the gun and pointed it first at his own
head.
Mrs. Metcalf interfered. and there
was struggle for possession of the
weapon, during which a shot was
fired. It struck the woman.
The children ran outside. When
neighbors reached the house they
found the woman dead and the man
lying on the floor with the gun nearby.

SEVEN ROADS AGREE TO TERMS
State Rates Declared Slid by United
States Supreme Court Will Be
Put Into Effect July 10.

Seven railroads operating in Min
nesota subscribed to an agreement
with the railroad and warehouse
commission at St. Paul to estah-
lish the state rates declared valid by
the United States supreme court on
July 10 and to pay without question
all rebates for excess charges during
the period OF litigation of the rate
case.
An opinion by Attorney General
Lyndon A. Smith was read, holding
that the law of 1909, insofar as it pro.
vided that the railroads must pay to
the state commission the total of the
excess charges under the commodity
classification to be distributed by that
board, is unconstitutional.
+ AS a result of this decision the rail.
roads, in an agreement signed by
their representatives, stipulated they
would pay promptly all just claims
made directly to them and the com.
mission reserved the right to present
claims for shippers and see to their
settlement.
The signing Of the peace pact
came after a debate of more than
three hours, participated in by some
of the leading railroad men Of the
country. Two presidents were pres.
ent-Carl r. Gray of the Great North.
ern and Edmund Pennington Of the
Soo-and six vice presidents. The lat,
ter were E. S. Kelley, Chicago, Mil.
waukee and St. Paul; w. S. Martin,
500; w. G. Bierd, Minneapolis and St.
Louis; W. P. Kenny, Great Northern;
c. G. Burnham, Burlington, and J. W.
Blabon, Chicago Great Western. x
In addition there were present some
of the leading attorneys in the West
and various traffic officials.
Representing the state were Alonzo
!. Edgerton, assistant attorney gen
eral, who. read Mr.. Smiths opinion in
that officials absence; Ira B. Mills
chairman Of the commission, and Com
missioners Charles F. Staples and
Charles e. ElmQuist. It is understood
the meeting was harmonious.
