ANARCHISTS IN' ST. PAUL..
A Socialist Say* Me Hos Been Threat
ened by Them.
"I wish to protest against the newspaper
allusions to the Chicago Lehr and Wehr
Verein as a socialistic society," said Otto
Haese, an intelligent German, and one of
leaders of the socialistic society in St. Paul,
to a Gi.obf. man last evening. "They are
aot socialists, but anarchists, and there is a
svide distinction between the two. We
tvish to see certain reforms in the govern
ment and certain readjustments of society
which will increase the happiness and wel
fare of mankind, but the only means we
will use are education and the ballot box.
The- anarchists say, 'spit in the
ballot box!' It will do us
in good. Force is our only resort. They
ire cranks and crack-brained fools, most of
them. We do i>ot wish to be classed with
them, and we would like the public to un
derstand the distinction between the two
classes."
ANAnCIIISTS HERE.
"If it had not been for the trouble in
Chicago we would have taken part in the
joining campaign, but it would bo foolish
for us to try to do so now with the public
so hostile to everything connected with
socialism. There are not more than six
•narcbists in St. Paul, and only three are
rery radical. At the time of the Chicago
riots they wanted us to help them get up a
mass meeting in defense of the anarchists
there, but of course we declined, and
they couldn't do anything alone. On
the Ist of May one of them
went around trying to get bricklayers to
strike. They are very bitter towards me.
and I have . had revolvers pointed at me
with threats on more than one occasion.
They hold secret meetings right along, but
they are not stronsr enough to be dangerous.
But I wish you to say that we have nothing
to do with them and are not in sympathy
with them."
Mr. Uaeso will in a few days issue a
pamphlet on the "Meaning, Practice, Law
and Equity of the Boycott."
THE SEEDS OF LO.
BSishop Whipple Talks ou the
Indian Itcforc the Chamber.
At the meeting of the board of directors
of the chamber of commerce yesterday
morning the resolution offered at the last
meeting, asking the council to pass an
ordinance, to take effect on the Ist of
March next, to effectually prevent the sale
of ice in the city limits taken from the
Mississippi river, or any of its lakes,
sloughs or bayous, was adopted. When
the resolution offered by the mercantile
committee, in favor of small bills, came up
for consideration. Dr. Day took advantage
of the opportunity to make an artistic and
scientific speech. He was opposed to the
resolution on sanitary grounds. Small
bills were the sure vehicles upon which were
conveyed small-pox and all manner of con
tagious diseases. He declared they were
the relics of barbarism and the indication
of poverty. Mexico and all the other
weak and worn-out governments issue
them. The doctor wished that he had
never seen a bill of a less denomination
than $5 or SlO. On a vote being taken the
resolution was lost.
IN BEHALF OF THE IXDrAXS.
Bishop Whipple appeared before the
board for the purpose of interesting that
body in behalf of the Indians on the head
waters of the Mississippi. In order to reach
his hearers the bishop gave a sketch of the
reservoirs and their establishment and of
the injury done by them to the Indians,
lie stated that when it was deemed advis
able to establish the reservoirs the question
was raised as to whether or not the govern
ment had the right to enter upon the re
servations of the Indians and there locate
the reservoirs. The subject was brought to
the attention of the United States attorney
general, by the secretary of war, and the
written opinion of the former that the gov
ernment had no right or authority what
ever to go upon the reservation for such a
purpose was obtained. This opinion.
Bishop Whipple said, he would leave with
the president of the chamber, but before he,
did so he read a short paragraph from it in
which the attorney general emphatically
states that the government cannot legally
locate the reservoirs upon the Indian terri
tory. Notwithstanding this opinion the
dams were directed to be erected. More
than a million of dollars were expended in
their construction. All the resources the
Indians nave are rice and fish. Nearly all
these resources are now destroyed. The
white fish have disappeared and
where they had gone the Indians did not
know. So much of they reservations have
been occupied by the reservoirs that but
little land suitable to be cultivated is left
o them. During his remarks the bishop re
ferred to the efforts that he, . Gen. Sibley,
Mr.Gilhllaii and Capt. Blakely had made in
behalf of these Indians, and said: "We
have done all that we could do for them."
He also read a long letter from Missionary
Gilfillan, which told how the Indians are
suffering in consequence of being deprived
by the overflow of their lands and from the
opportunity of catching fish. The letter
further stated that large
TKACTS OF I'IXE LAXDS
had been burned by the Indians, and that
the amount of pine that would be burned in
the future by them would be very great in
deed, lie closed by appealing to the cham
ber to. aid in inducing the goverment to pay
the Indians for the property that has been
taken from them. Ho had no hope of in
ducing the government to tike hold of the
matter and right the Indians by direct ap
peal to the government. The only hope he
had was in public opinion. If they could
bring that to bear upon the authorities .at
Washington, something might be accom
plished. This consideration was what
brought him before the chamber. Some
discussion followed as to what was the best
and quickest way to get at the matter and
afford the relief needed. The subject was
nnally referred to the executive committee
nnd made the special order of business for
next Monday morning, alter which the
board adjourned.
SANITAtIY MEASURES.

fasre oit the SSluff.
Chairman Steirett, l)vs. Nichols and
.Eddy and Messrs. Hinkle and Bartlett of
the sanitary committee of section 1, of the
Seventh ward appeared before the board of
health yesterday afternoon, with reference
to securing some dumping ground for the
offal and refuse' of the slaughter houses at
the Minnesota Transfer. An interesting
discussion of an informal nature was in
dulged in by these gentlemen who repre
sented that a number of property owners
had been conferred with to see if the
blaugliter house tirms could be permitted to
use part of their premises, so as to reach
the river to deposit the olfal, but this has
been unsuccessful. They decided to sub
mit the matter to the board of health, and
ask if no (Jumping ground could be located
that steps be immediately taken
,fco bring about the entire removal of the
•slaughter houses, which residents pro
nounce an intolerable nuisance. On. Aid.
Tetcsh's motion the matter was referred to
•Health Officer Jones, City Engineer Kund
lett and Aid. Long. This committee will
visit th« slaughter house district soon to
look over the situation and see what remedy
can be applied. There is quite an agitation
among residents to have the slaughter
houses removed. .The Pierce Bros, have
finally withdrawn their petition fora slaugh
ter house at the Transfer.
Kot long a*;(> the Globe nublislicd tha
substance of a scheme proposed by Dr
Jones for
;V :' A SEWER SYSTEM
to drain the zymotic district on Dayton's
bluff in the Forest street section — a section
where scarlet fever and diphtheria are more
prevalent than in any other part of the
city, because of the innumerable stand
ing pools of stagnant water. As a
preliminary to this, the board of health has
decided to recommend the grading of Hast
ings street, from Piutn to Earl; Forest, from
Hastings to East Seventh; Fourth, from
Maria to Earl; Francis, from Arcade to
English, and Cypress, from East Seventh
street to Suburban avenue. The grading is
necessary before any sewers can be con
structed there.
Sewers were also recommended for Far
ringtou avenue, from Nelson avenue to
Carroll street, and for East Seventh street,
from Hope to Margaret streets. " Notices
are to be served on property owners to have
the pools .filled in before thirty days at the
corner of Winter street and Brewtster ave
nue, and the ono near tiie corner of Penn
sylvania avenue and Arch street.
A LIFE FOR A SCALE*.
An Indian Shot £>cad While ScalpinßT
Dick Warner.
It is not generally known that Dick War
ner, the well-known lacrosse player, whose
Jace is familiar to every old settler in St.
Paul, was scalped by a real live Indian,
painted red, but such is a fact. It was the
25th of July, IS7O, nearly ten years ago,
that Dick and a party of friends were pros
pecting in the Black Hills for "color."
The prospectors had camped and passed
the night in a deep ravine, and after break
fast Dick walked up the trail ahead of the
other boys who followed with the pack
horses. Dick went over the brow of the
hill that the trail laid across, and was de
scending on the side opposite from his com
panions, He was strolling leisurely along,
studying the beauties of nature and enjoy
ing his after-breakfast smoke when his eyes
suddenly fell on a party of
seven Indians camped, a short
distance ahead of him on the trail. It was
but a few weeks since the Ouster massacre,
and the redskins were considered dangerous
animals. The party of Indians espied Dick
about the time that he saw them, and one
tall buck arose, and whipping out his knife,
started for Warner on a run. Dick turned
and set a 2:29 pace toward his party, but
the Indian was too footed for him,
and just as they reached the crest of the
hill, and in full view of the men who were
slowly climbing the steep, the redskin over
took Dick, and placing his hands on his
shoulders, crushed him down between his
knees and drew his bovvio through the
raven scalp-lock of his victim, but just as
his knife flashed in the morning sunlight a
member of Dick's party saw him, and
raising his rifle to his shoulder, drew abead
on the aborigine, pulled the trigger, and the
Indian fell dead, shot through the head just
below the ear. Dick's bleeding scalp was
dangling over his left shoulder, but there
happened to be a medical student in the
party, and he patched up the wound . as
best he could. Dick has his own scalp and
that of the Indian hanging from a nail in
his room, and he guards them with a vigil
ance that he might be expected to exercise
over a crown of diamonds. There is a por
tion of his head that won't raise hair, but
it is never noticed, as Dick wears what hair
he has long and combs it over the bleak and
barren stretch of scalp.
FOR ABSIEFSGASON.
Men Who are Temporarily in the
City—Their iUany Missions.
C. Van Carupen, Rochester, was an arri
val at the Merchants. He is the secretary
of the Southern Minnesota Fair association,
and is most enthusiastic over the coining
exhibition under the auspices of that society,
claiming that a circuit with St. Paul and
other fair associations will be made, by
which the entries to one meeting will be
made in the others of the same circuit.
This, he thinks, will be of great benefit to
the different associations as well as to the
owneis of trotting horses. Referring to
the political situation in the First con
gressioaal district, he said that the indica
tions were that Lovely wonld be the Repub
lican nominee, although Dunnell, being a
great worker, might succeed in getting the
nomination which now appeared sure for
Lovely. The speaker expressed the hope
that the Democrats would nominate Judge
Wilson of Winona, and that he would be
elected.
Dr. Howe, Brainerd, was in the city. He
was a member of the last legislature from
that district. At present he is engaged in
moving his large flouring mill from Brain
erd, where for the past six years lie has
been located, to Duluth, which he considers
the future great city of the Northwest. A
most enthusiastic advocate of Duluth, he
never tires of talking of her many good
points. He claims the honor of starting
the first flouring mill at the Zenith city, and
expects others will soon follow.
E. Bpokwalter, ex-collector of customs
at St. Vincent and present farmer in Bine
Earth county, said, at the Merchants, that
the nomination of John Lind for con
gress in the Second district had not excited
any opposition in any branch of the Repub
licans, but on the contrary all Republicans
were satisfied. He was of the opinion that
the Democrats would nominate a candidate
agaiust Lind, but naturally thought that
the Democrats would have no show of suc
cess.
C. A. Gower, Lansing, Mich., was regis
tered at the Ryan. He is one of the lead
ing men, so far as the educational interests
of Michigan is concerned, and is now de
voted in teaching and has been for many
years. He has served as the county super
intendent of Saginaw county, and at one
time acted as the state superintendent of
education.. lie is up to St. Paul on a visit
of pleasure and recreatio*.
J. Parkhurst, Quincy, 111., is in the city
on a visit for his health. He is the present
mayor of Quincy, and is a Democrat of the
old New Hampshire stamp.
C. P. Kindred, Brainerd, talked and
chatted with his many friends and ac
quaintances at the Merchants. He is still
firmly convinced— the conviction dawning
on him a year or so ago, when he was de
feated for coneress by Kuute Nelson, the
present and prospective member to congress
from the Fifth district — that the Scandi
navians should be elected to all the offices
and kept there just as long as they would
consent to serve. His business to the Cap
ital City was of a quasi business character
in connection with the Brainerd Improve
ment company, which is preparing to con
struct a dam at that point.
Samuel Shears, who is stopping at the
Ryan, was formerly a part owner in the
Millard hotel, Omaha. He disposed of his
interest a few days ago for $100,000, and
will soon begin the erection of a fine fire
proof hostelry in that city to cost $1,000,
--000.
ONDAYTOX'S liMif
Will Soon be ore f'olice, Street Cars
and a ICrid^e.
At the opening of the regular meeting of
the Dayton's Bluff union last evening the
committee appointed to examine into the
Ontario or installment plan of public as
sessments reported in favor of the plan and
J suggested that staps be taken to further the
interests of the .movement. The committee
offered a resolution reciting that the hilly
condition of Dayton's bluff requires extra
ordinary expenditures for street improve
ments; that improvements are retarded be
cause of the limited means of a majority of
the population on whom assessments fall
heavily, while they, would favor the im
provements if the burden could be lightened
and recommending that the secretary be in
structed to ask all • similar unions
Ito appoint a delegate to meet with
j one from the Dayton's Bluff
union to aid a competent attorney to frame
a bill to bo submitted to the legislature.
The sentiment of the union was heartily in
favor of the system and the resolution was
adopted. Mr. Middleton reported that ad
ditional police would be appointed for the
bluff on the completion of the substations.
A. Pugh of the committee on street rail
ways read a letter from Thomas Lowry
stating that the tracks would be laid on
Maria avenue as soon as the sewer was
completed, and it was expected to have the
track begun durmir July. He said that all
arrangements had been made and that the
, system would be extended to Plum street.
j On motion of Mr. Pugh the committee
i was instructed to ask Mr. Lowry to
i Hvtftiid the ■ svHtem to Car>m>ut Rtreet.
THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 20, 1886.
I
Mr. Pugh reported that the iron work for
the Third street bridge ' had been let to a
Chicago firm and would bo on hand in less
than ninety days. Mr. Mlddleton said that
the board of public works would piobably
act in accordance with a recent decision of
the supreme court in a Minneapolis case,
in which it was held to be the duty of the
railroad, under the law of 1885, to build the
approaches as well as the bridge. If they
did they would simply take no action in the
matter. Mr. Puvjh said that there was a
difference between St. Paul and Minneapo
lis in the circumstances surrounding the
cases. Minneapolis had never given up
any rights to the railroads, but St. Paul had
made an agreement with most of the
roads, . that if they would erect bridges
when requested to do so, the
city would build the approaches. He
thought the only point to be gained
was in making the city pay the expense of
the approaches, relieving property owners
of assessments. The city and not the
people had given away the rights guaran
teed by law and the bill should be paid out
of the general fund. On motion a vote of
thanks was tendered the Globe for the in
terest it had shown in the affairs of the
bluff and the courtesy 'it had shown the
union. President lieed suggested that a
more substantial appreciation should be
shown by every member subscribing for it.
It was immediately found that there was
but one member present who did not take
it and he promptly subscribed at the close
of the meeting.
CCUEFFEK WILL. NOT FIGHT.
Sic Says He Has no Time to Give up
to Politics,
Lieut. Gov. Gilman was walking around
the rotunda of the Merchants last night
with a springy step and cheerful counten
ance. When a Globe reporter asked him
if there was anything new, he replied,
"Nothing new. except that Scheffer has
withdrawn from the tield and I have only
Gibbs and McGill to look out lor."
. When asked if Scheffer's withdrawal
would not improve his chances for winning
the nomination, he said that it wouldn't
hurt him any, further than this he refused
to talk.
lion. Albert Scheffer yesterday said that
he had concluded to keep out of the light.
Said he:
"The fight will bo a hot one, and no man
can go into the campaign with a certainty of
winning. He will have to take his ehauees.
If 1 should enter the field 1 would not go iv
confident that I would eret the nninluatiou,
although I have been assured by my friends
that I can get it if I want it. I have looked
the situation over and I don't think I can af
ford to devote the time that would be neces
sary to make a canvass and establish
v thorough organization. My business
requires my atteution, and if 1 should
ro into the light I should have to neglect it
to a certain extent, besides this campaign
will cost money. Personally Gilman. McGill,
Gibbs and myself are the best of friends and
they are strong men. Who will get the nom
ination is more than I can tell. McGill I
don't think is as strong as his friends claim
he is, and his chances are about equal with
Gibbs. Gilman is a thorough organizer and
a shrewd worker, and while he isn't popular
with the people at large, he keeps his forces
well iv line and is always on the outlook for
new combinations that will help him out."
Mr. Scheffer leaves to-night for San
Francisco, to attend the annual encamp
ment of the G. A. X., and he will remain
away from the city four weeks.
Maj. Wilson said last night that the with
drawal of Scheffer would help out Giknan.
J. E. Osborn said:
The withdrawal of Scheffer brighten up
Gilman's prospects materially, and now the
Democrats have a bettor show to elect a gov
ernor than they ever had before. If Scheffer
had gone into the fight, he would have been
nominated and elected over any man in the
state that could have been pitted against
him.
Bids Laid Over.
At a meeting of the board of public
works yesterday afternoon a large number
of bids were laid over.
Favorable reports will be made on the
proposed grading of Yon Mmden street,
Western avenue to Dousman, estimated
cost 53, 479; and on the proposed grading of
Fairfield avenue, between Dakota avenue
to State street, estimated cost $20,820. All
bids were rejected for the Toronto avenue
grading, the clerk to readvertise. The
board is unanimous in the opinion that
Robert street should be paved from Seventh
to University avenue, but they think some
very necessary changes in the grade should
be made first. The proposed Atlantic street
grading, Third to Seventh, estimated cost
97,990, will be taken up July 2G, when the
parties interested will be required to be
. present.
Improving* the Olympic.
Aid. Gonley says he will throw the doors
of his popular resort, the Olympic, open
about Aug. 21, and that he will give the
people of St. Paul a class of entertainments
next winter that they will take pleasure in
patronizing. In a few days workmen will
commence making various improvements in
the theater. The seating capacity will be
increased and the gallery rearranged for
the convenience of the patrons of the re-
sort. Ed Hilton, who is now in New
York, will return and assume the duties of
general manager of the theater, which in
dicates that his proposition to build a rival
theater has petered out.
A Call Upon Gen. Hayes.
At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon about
forty members of the Loyal Legion resident
in St. Paul, and a few from Minneapolis,
paid their respects to ex-President Hayes,
commaiider-iu-chief of the Loyal Legion,
at the residence of the Hon. Alexander
Ramsey, where he is a guest during his stay
in the city. The affair was a very pleasant
one, and was entirely informal. The ex
president received his callers in the west
parlor of the mansion, and the brief half
i hour was filled with pleasant introductions,
reminiscences and repartee.
Caught a Cigar Thief.
After some clever work Detectives Dan
O'Connor and Dan Ahem caught Frank
Mueller at Forney's restaurant yesterday
and locked him up under the charge of
stealing over 2,000 cigars from Albenberg
& Conhaim about a week ago. Mueller
was formerly an employe at the Hotel As
toria and he is suspected of stealing the $37
of which the money-deawer of the Astoria
bar was relieved recently. The officers
found 1,100 "Queen of St. Paul" cigars m
his room.

THE BUPBEHIE COURT.
Decisions Filed Yesterday by Judge
Berry.
P. A. Foster, respondent, vs. O. A. Pray, E.
H. Moulton et al., appellant.
Syllabus — Articles of incorporation of a
"Mutual Benefit Association," apparently in
tended as a sort of mutual insurance, com
pany, were duly executed by defenaauts and
duly recorded with the register of deeds and
secretary of state. M. became a member of
the association, paid his dues and received a
certificate of membership aud sustained bod
ily injury, entitling him as suoh member to
pecuniary benefit, to recover which this ac
tion is brought against the original signers of
the articles of association as individual per
sons. The association did not become a cor
doratiou de jure, not having complied with
the statute so as to become an insurance cor
poration de jure and not being a benevolent
society under Title, 3, eh. 34, G. S., 1878.
Held, that although not a corporation de jure
the association is as between Us members to
be regarded and treated as a corporation de I
facto, and hence this action against the de
fendants as individual persons will not lie
and the overruling order J* therefore re
versed. Bekry, J.
Thomas A. Abbot et al., appellant, vs.
George A. Nash aud Wilsop <fc Rogers, re
spondents.
Syllabus — Settlement of a case upheld
thouirh made after the time specified in the
statute. N owning- certain lands, M made an
arrangement with him to erect certain build
ings for him thereon and furnish material for
the same. M therefore entered into a written
contract with A to furnish the materials, a
large part for a lump price aud the rest for
a fair market price. M entered upon his job
and A had furnished him part of the materi
als contracted for when the agreement be
tween M and was canceled and N and A then
verbally agreed that N should take and stand
in M's place, and thereupon A furnished to
N the rest of the materials contracted for.
Held, thnt the agreement between N aud A is
not within the statute of frauds; also, that as
respects the materials which wore to be fur-
Disoed for a lump price, a pfcrt of which had
been furnished to M. before the cancellation
of his agreement with N, A ie not entitled to
a lien as against N. Also, that as respects the
materials furnished to N for which A is en
titled to a lien it is not necessary to establish
the same that A should file with his account
tho writteu contract between him and M or
any copy thereof. Also, that Ais entitled to
personal judgment against N for the full
amount of the balance due him (A) tor ma
terials furnished and to a judgment for a lien
for as much thereof as was furnished to N
and was not part of what was to be furnished
to M for a lump price. A formal waiver of
lien supported by uo consideration held in
effectual. Judgment reversed and caso re
manded. Berky, J.
Louisa Auerg, respondent, vs. A. J. Creigh
et al.
Syllabus — The plaintiff made the loan of
money involved in this case through her gen
eral agent, who had full authority to act for
her in the premises aud by agreement be
tween them he was to receive no compen
sation from her for his services in loaning
her money, but was to make what he could
out of it. The note by whloh the loan was
evidenced was for $125 for one month. The |
agent deducted aud retained from 6aid sum |
of $125, a mouth's interest at the rate of 10 j
per cent, per annum, viz. $1.04 and $6.4t> as
Commission. The plaintiff's funds were de
posited in bank in the agent's name at the
place where he resided and when he made a
loan he simply drew checks on the bank for
tho money. There is no finding that the agent
rendered any services in and about the loan
to the borrower (the defendant) or any to his
principal for which he was eutitled to make,
anytuiug more than a mere nominal charge or
for which the commission of $6.46 would not
dj unusually large. Held, that the charge
aid deduction of the so-called ccmu.ission
were a nieie cover usury and mode me note
and the transaction evidenced by it usurous
in law. ' Held further with reference'to a new
trial, that if the note should bo T found not
usurous originally it would not be made so
by subsequent extensions, though in consider-'
ation of the payment of usurous interest.
The judgment is reversod and a newltrlal'
directed. . .' . -■:" .lleiuiy.J.

court of Hennepin county. Fourth judicial
district, Minnesota, respondent.
Syllabus — In proceedings for the appoint
ment of commissioners undor the provisions
of section 3,obapter 3o,Laws 1879 (relating to
railroad crossings), the district court is not
confined to tbo precise location mentioned in
the petition, but may change or modify it,
identity of the purpose of the crossing peti
tioned for and of that prescribed being suffi
cient. Under section 1, chapter ll,Laws 1881,
extra session (which is an amendment to sec
tion 47, chapter 34, General Statutes 1878), at
aus time after the making of the order pro
scribing the location and manner of a cross
ing, the petitioning corporation is entitled to
proceed immediately to make and operate the.
same before filing the bond in said section 1
prescribed, notwithstanding the adverse
party has theretofore and before any meet
ing of tho commissioners, duly taken and per
fected an appeal from the order appointing
them by, among other things executing and
filing an undertaking fora stay of proceed
ings, under section 10, chapter 86, General
Statutes 1878, as modified by chapter 80,Lawa

OX A PEACE BASIS.
The Old Kates Ha into Effect on
Western ISuads 'i'o>Uay.
Chicago, July 19.— The general freight
agents of the Western railroads met to-day
for the purpose of submitting for examina
tion contracts that had been made with
shippers during the time cut rates were in
vogue. It >vas found that there were only
about fifteen, and it was decided that these
should be terminated as soon as practicable,
the business in the meanwhile to be re
ported to the association. The Hammond
A Co. dressed beef contract made by the
St. Paul road was among the number, and
was scrutinized with considerable curiosity,
as it was the lirst cause of all the trouble.
As it had nearly four years more to run, it
was agreed that all lines should have the
privilege of making the same rate on
dressed beef, 31% cents par 100 pounds,
from Omaha to Chicago. All of the lines
have agreed to restore freight rates to the
regular tariff to-morrow morning and the
commissioners will issue the necessary tar
iffs duriug the week. A joint meeting of
the general passenger agents of the lines
West, Southwest aad JS'orthwest of Chi
cago was held to-day, at which
action was taken to withdraw all
cut passenger rates throughout the
territory, and reatore the full tariff rates in
force when the fight began. The new deal
takes effect to-morrow morning, at which
time cheap fares wl cease for two months
at least. It was also agreed not to pay any
street commissions and to limit the outside
commissions to 31 per ticket, aad to con
tinue the old special and theatrical rates in
force. The Wisconsin Central, St. Paul
and Northwestern lines agreed to the above,
and this action restores peace over the
whole territory.
