MINNESOTA WINS
TWO CENT RATE
Supreme Court Hands Down De-
eision Menday-ln Effect In
About One alenth.

The supreme court of the Uni
ted States handed down decis-
ion last Monday in the Minnesota
two cent rate case, reversing the
federal circuit court. The de-
cision is q lenthy one and would
require much time to read. The
decision and its scope follows: I
The opinion OF the supreme
court holds that the rate, as re-
CARDS the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific,9 sts not .cpps-
flscatory.
Justice Hughes, in writing the
decision, voiced the principle OF
states rights in regulating the
rates between their own borders.
When intrastate rates, as fixed
by the state, conflict with inter-
state rates, the decision holds
congress has power to act.
The decision disagreed with the
method of the master in chancery
OF allowing the cost of production
to govern entirely the value of
. the railroads property.
Rebates to shippers on charges
paid above those fixed in the three
orders affected, will amount to
about $3,OOO,0 GOO.
The two-cent passenger fare
and the low commodity and mer-
chandise freight rates will again
be in effect in Minnesota in a
month.
Attorneys for the state in the
long fight are jubilant over the
result, which they term sweep
ing victory.
The decision is heralded as the
most important in quarter CEN

Offerings for tho Week.
Gossip Of the Fair.

Every day brings in additional
prizes for the 1913 premium list
of the Richland county fair. The
response has exceeded all expec-
tations and both DIR. +. M. Gill
breath and Geo. w. Woods, presi-
dent and secretary of the fair
association, respectively, predict
that there will be more prizes of
fered this year than ever before.
Among the offers received last
week was a handsome silver orna-
mental trophy from the Northern
Pacific railway. through A. M.
Cleland, general passenger agent.
The trophy is valued at $50 and
will be awarded to the exhibitog
showing the best SOW and litter
Of pigs. 1t is to be competed for
annually until won three times
by the same person, when it is to
revert to him.
In addition, the N. p, also have
offered ten dollars to be given to
the entrant displaying the best
bushel of dent corn.
Competition in the school boys

be very keen this year by reason
of the fact that there are over
400 entries. This contest has
been growing more popular each
year and the fair officers will be
forced to exercise their wits to
the utmost to find suitable space
for all of the corn. However,
they will meet the emergency
when the time comes.
There are now two families
living at the fair grounds. One
family has occupied the w. G. Il.

This week the WOmens' Relief

One of the best boosts received
by the fair during the week was
the arrival of five horses from
Wyndmere, in charge of S. 4.
Bowlby, a professional trainer of
horses. He has made his head
quarters on the grounds and it
is expected that the Wyndmere
owners and residents will make

The largest crowd ever assem-
bled in Wahpeton and Brecken-
ridge is expected to gather in
these two towns for July Fourth.
That all will be assured of a good
time is indicated by the program
arranged for the day by the Rich
land County Fair association, un-
der whose auspices the celebra-
ton will be held.
The list of amusements makes
it plain that there will be, some-
thing going on all of the time.
Also that there will be something

TO hegius with. s,the i baseball
games promise to be as hotly con
tested as any games ever played
here. The Wahpeton team has
already defeated the Great Bend
boys and the latter are coming
with blood in their eyes, grimly
determined to get revenge. un
the other hand, the Great Benders
took the Indian School team into
camp since their defeat by the
local team, indicating that they
have greatly improved and that
their boast of downing our team
ought not to be taken lightly.
Both Wahpeton and the Indian
school nine won victories over
Hankinson, which was the reason
the latter team was not consid-
cred in the running. Both of the
ball games will be played on the
island.
Included in the fireworks dis
play will be eight set-pieces. The
first of these will open the pyro-
technics. 1t will show Fourth

The program will close with a
set piece showing a large mall

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There Is only one way to cure deaf
ness. and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
nfiamed condition Of the mucous lin
Ing Of the Eustachian Tube. When
his tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when 1t Is entirely closed. Deafness
Is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out Of ten are caused
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
infiamed condition of the mucous
surfaces
