August Cast, Appellant, v. Northern
Pacific Railway Company, a corpor-
alton, and Thomas Costello, Respond
ents.
l.. In an action to recover damages
for injuries received in a collision
with defendants train at a public
crossing, evidence examined, and
HELD, that plaintiff was guilty of
contributory negligence as a matter
of law and that the trial court did not
err in so holding.
z. Notwithstanding his contribu.
tory negligence, plaintiff invokes this
rule of discovered peril, or last clear
chance. Held, that such rule Is in.
applicable, both under the complaint,
which alleges merely specific acts
OF negligence consisting Of excessive
speed in approaching the CROSSING
and failure to give suitable warnings
and under the proof, which conclu.
sively shows that the engineer used
reasonable care to avoid the acciden:
upon discovering plaintiffs peril.
3. Where plaintiff in his complain.
alleges merely specific acts of negli.
gence on defendants part, he will be
restricted on the trial to proof OF
such acts. Had the complaint con-
tanned a general allegation of negli.
gence in the operation of the train at
the time in question, plaintiff might
have relied upon the doctrine OF dis.
covered peril, or last clear chance
rule II the facts had brought the case
within such rule.

THOMAS ]THARALsoN.

THOMAS THARALsoN.
The announcement of our old friend
Thos. II. Tharalson as republican can
didate for State Treasurer appears
in this issue. His eligibility for this
position is well KNOWN among his old
friends in this county, and it is need
less to say that every Walsh county
republican Is a Tharalson booster and
expect to see him successful in this
primary skirmish and at the polls
when the fall of ballots in November
are counted up.-MintO Journal.
A "HoT ONE" FOR THE BANKS.
While he has had some experience
as a private banker, the present Con.
troller of the Currency, Mr.. J. Shelton
Williams, is not familiar with the in
terror machinery of a big state or ma
tional banking institution.
This explains the nonchalance with
which, in a circular sent out yester-
day, he requests each national bank
to supply every day during the month
of June an elaborate mass of Stats.
tics, embracing details OF its business,
including classified reports of the
amounts of checks and drafts, pay
ments and collections by states.
The data are said to be desirec
primarily for the benefit of the new
federal reserve banks. When it is re-
membered that a large bank in this
city will receive in every days mail
tens of thousands of checks and
drafts, from all parts of the country,
n can appreciate the unconscious
irony of Mr.. Williams assurance that
the work Of compilation will not be
heavy or burdensome on those banks
where the most approved systems of
accounting and most modern methods
are now in operation"
He doubtless means we'll, but ap.
%parently he doesn't know.-New York
Herald.

KEEP UP THE BUSINESS GRIND

The people should not let the great
economic movements in this country
pass entirely out of their minds. Such
conditions as now exist have often been
taken advantage of by special interests
and backward steps have been taken
that it took years to recover. The re-
form legislation pending in congress
should be pushed with the same effort
as if here were no war in Europe. 1t
