8 In Labor's Field. "The question is frequently asked," said Labor Commissioner Martin McHale yes terday, "In what industry art the b< ;t wages paid" Looking over the wage schedules of f>o,ooo employes In a hundred or nine Industries throughout the Btate we And that ihe Industry In which the highest average wages prevail i* the one in which the employes of eletirlc lighting, power, boating and water plants have I), en grouped. Under this head we have the wage returns of nearly iioo employes, from which we find that mare than one half receive from $M to $13 per week, Which is more than the returns for any other industry is capable of showing. Taken In another way the reports show that only 79 of a total ol 488 receive less than 19 per \\<ek and that 235, or nearly one-halt of the whole number, receive in excess <>f OS per week. The exact number receiving a specified mini per week is Bhown in the following lable: J3 but under ?4 1 •i but under 6 10 f. but under f< i> but under 7 9 7 hut under 8 11 8 but under 9 38 9 but under V) f>fl V* Inn under 12 12.1 12 but under 15 1-13 IB but under IS 51 1^ imt under 20 in 2n and over 22 Total 488 Tn connection with this, however, must be taken Into account the fact that near ly all of these people work twelve hours per day and seven days per week for the pay shown above. Comparing this tin^e with that of the eight-hour and six-day per week employes it is found that the pay is In reality no better in this industry than In most others, the sole advantage, If any. consisting In the fact that the employe is given an opportunity to put In more time for pay In a given period than is afforded employes in ntbst other occupations. There is a vast difference between a 48-hour, or even a 51-hour week and a week of 84 hours. Two dollars per day for a 12-hour day is In reality no more Than $1,55 for an 8-hour clay, and 112 per week for an Sl-hour week Is equiv alent to $G.SS for a 48-hout week, or $7 7:; for a week of M hours. Therefore, nlthough employes in this group of oc cupations are apparently the best paid ol any In the state, there is none in which ho many complaints are made by the laborers as in this. In fact, the labor bureau is frequently appealed to for re dress, which, however, it is nimble '<» render, because the ten-hour law is cir cumvented by a clause which permits th* laborer to work as many hours as he re ceives pay lor and the latter feature in Of QQUre^ covered by the weekly or monthly wage system.

Professor Prcscott, University of Michigan, says: " I believe that the acid salts of fruits are the most wholesome and important constituents of the food of man. Not all natural substances are wholesome articles of food, but cream of tartar has a high rank as such." , This expensive fruit acid is employed in making Royal Baking Powder because of its absolute wholesomeness, and because of its value as a food substance. Alum would cost but one-tenth as much. » Alum, however, is a poison, which cannot be used in food without endangering life. All cheap baking powders contain it. Think of feeding it daily, as the makers of the cheap, aJum powders would, to delicate women and children I ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., 100 WILLIAM ST., NEW YORK. ——^^^^- ■ when we get at the work until com pleted. —Val Broekius.

FOR A EUROPEAN TRIP FRED HITTMAN ASKS A PARDON, HAVING SERVED 22 YEARS OF A LIFE SENTENCE CHRISTELLOS ASK RELEASE Altkln County Murderers Also Re <jn>s( That the Board of Pardons Provide a Way for Them to En joy the Sunshine Outside the Prison Walls—Other New Applica tions for Releaae Are Filed. After serving twenty-two years in the Stillwater penitentiary, Fred. Hittman has filed an application for a full pardon with the etate board of pardons. With his plea for executive clemency he pre sents a letter from his parents in Ham burg, Germany, in which they agree to furnish transportation and funds suffi cient to take him to his native land, where he can spent! the remaining years of his life. Hittman was a poor German immigrant and settled In Ohnsted county directly after coming to this country. According to the statement which has been filed in the governor's office, he knew little or nothing of the language, anci he was given bat little opportunity to defend himself. His crime, -that of lulling a fellow laborer, was surrounded, it is claimed, by somewhat extenuating cir cumstances, and, at the time, it was hardly possible for him to secure a fair j trial. He was sentenced in 1878. He claims to be in poor health and sets forth his liberation as necessary to prolong his life. Two other lifers made application to the state board yesterday for pardons. Nick and Angelo Christello, two Italians, who were sentenced five years ago for murder in the first degree at McGregor, Minn., are also weary of prison fare and would, If given the opportunity, walk around a little In the sunlight. It has been intimated that if the state board of pardons liberates prisoners do ing life sentences that the friends of the Younger boys will come forward and press their claims for the release of Jim and Cole, who have been at Stillwater in the neighborhood of twenty years. However, no attempt will probably be made in this direction as long as Chief Justice Start remains a member of the pardoning board,, as he has stated that he does not believe there is one small ex cuse for giving the Northfleld bank rob bers their liberty. No action has been taken in the ease of Albert Dunal, who is sentenced to hang in Jackson county for murder in the first degree. The matter has been held in abeyance, pending the return of Gov. Lind, but was not taken up yesterday. Dunai has filed application for pardon, and, pending its disposition, no date has been set by the coveraoj^ for his execu tion. The following other applications have been filed with th». board: William Barnes, St. Paul, one year in work house; grand larceny, second de gree. Sentenced Oct. 18, 1899. Richard A. Lee, Austin, three years and six months; gran&larceny, second degree. Sentenced May 7, 1897. James H. Congtlon, Minneapolis, four years; grand larceny, second degree. Sentenced April U, 18SS.

CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bough! ■HEW ST. LOUIS ROUTE CHICAGO, MILWAUKEE: & ST. PAUL INAUGURATES ANOTHER THROUGH SERVICE ONE TRAIN A DAY EACH WAY New Service Will < on Hint of 11 Solid VeNtllmled Sleeper Train With Bent Equipment Possible—Will Ran Solid Through to St. Loalv Vlw Rock Inland and Peorla—Will Be Open March 18. On March 18 the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul will Inaugurate a new through service between St. Paul and St. Louis, in connection with the Alton and the Rock Island & Peorla railroads. The route will be from St. Paul to Rock Isl and, over the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul; Rock Island to Peoria, over the Rock Island & Peorla, and Peoria to St. Louis, over the Alton. The service will consist of one train a day each way, and the new arrangement extends as well to freight business. The new St. Louis express will be a solid vestlbuled sleeper train, with the very best equipment obtainable. Each of the three roads will furnish a part of the equipment, and the service will be jointly maintained. The new trains will run through solid to St. Louis, without change. A train will leave St. Paul each morning a t 8:30, arriving in St. Louis ear ly the next morning. The schedule has not yet been perfected, but it is under stood that the northbound train will ar rive early in the evening. The new service will open up a very im portant intermediate territory, giving the cities direct connection with all important way stations. The benefit will be great, both to the three-road combination and to the cities. The route will be a Mis sissippi river one in a way as far as Rock Island, taking a southeasterly direc tion to Peoria and a southwesterly direc tion from there direct into St. Louis. Assistant General Passenger Agent Con ley, of the Milwaukee, confirms the re port of the new service, and states that it will be in full operation on March IS. It will compete with the Burlington service to St. Louis, and also with the Minne apolis & St. Louis service. The new traffic arrangement gives the'Chicago, Milwau kee & St. Paul three different routes into the Southern city. Under present arrangements the road has a route via the Milwaukee to Mason City, via the lowa Central to Ottumwa and via the Wabash from Ottumwa into St. Louis. In addition the road- has the usual direct connections from its Chicago service over the Alton and other lines. NO BLACK HILLS LINE. President of 8., C. R. & N. S*ys No Snch Construction Is Contemplated. LUVERNE, Minn., March 2.—(Special.) —Notwithstanding the fact that news paper correspondents of the Northwest have for the past six months been "build ing" the Burlington, Cedar Rapids & Northern railroad to the Black hills, those who have the matter in charge do not confirm the rumors. C. J. Ives, president of the 8., C. R. & N, in an interview on the subject, gavt emphatic denial to the reports that the 8., C. R. & N. is contemplating an ex tension to the Black hills. He said it was likely the company would do some build ing in South Dakota and Minnesota this year, but that there would be none thar. ever could form a link in a Black hill line. Ho admitted that their extension from Worthlngton, this state, terminating at Conova, 8. D., would be pushed through to the latter place as soon as spring opens. The road has been com pleted to the eastern line of Rock county, and the crews of men employed in con structing the new road are in camp a few miles north of this city. TARIFF ON EXPORT GRAIN. Sevral Trunk Line* Are Readjusting Their Schedules. The Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, Chicago & Northwestern, Rock Island and other lines are readjusting their tariffs on export grain. The presidents of the lines members of the Central Freight association have ordered a reduc tion of tariffs—7 cents on export and 4.5 cents on domestic grain—from Mississippi river points through Chicago. The new tariff becomes effective on Monday and necessitates a readjustment of rate sheets all over the country. It is generally con ceded that the reduction vrUl be made through the traffic departments of all lines to maintain the new sheet. The grain rates have been badly demoral ized since Jan. 1, and the reductions made promise well in the matter of restoring normal conditions. The new tariff quotes rates through Rock Island and common points, 17Vj cents to New York for do mestic, 14% cents to Baltimore and 19V& cents to Boston. On export grain the I rates to New York and Boston will be ' 13 cents, Baltimore 11% cents and Phila- j delphia 12 cents. Grain products for ex port will receive a 15-cent rate to Boston and New Yt)rk. 13 to Philadelphia and 12 ! cents to Baltimore. ' FILED A COMPLAINT. Manknto Man Say* < inNsiiicn tion Kates on Candles Im Raised. Mayor Currier, of Mankato, has filed a complaint with the railroad commis sion against lines operating from that ! point. The charges are substantially those which he outlined before the rail road officials Feb. 21 at the opening hearing of the rate adjustment case. He ! charges that the roads have arbitrarily j and without logical leason raised the ! classification of candies, a product which ! he manufactures, and that the reclasslfl cation has injured his business. A marble cutter named Meyers has ' I also filed a complaint on the same lines las the preceding. He deals in tomb- ' stones and other products in marble and stone and charges arbitrary raising of class. GOES WITH THE 11. A O. Roui)inn»tcr Bnrke, of the Soo Line, llcklmuh Hln Position. James Burke, general roadmaster of the Soo line, has resigned to take a posi tion with the Baltimore & Ohio. Assistant General Manager D. Willard, of the letter line, spent the latter part of last week in the cities, and the change results from his visit.

Mr. Burke left last night for Baltimore and will make his headquarters there in the future. The appointment is in line with Mr. Under wood's policy of securing Western rail road men for his line. Canadian Pacific's Proposition. Word has been received that the Cana dian Pacific has agreed to wipe out the 10 per cent freight differential on west coast business on condition that Amer ican roads allow it to get its full share of the business. The Canadian Pacific com plains that in the past, freight originat ing in Japan or China has always been turned over by traffic officials of steam ship lines, to roads having gateways either in San Francisco or other Amer ican Pacific ports, to its disadvantage. A meeting of the interested lines will be held in San Francisco on an early date to consider the proposition. Both the Northern Pacific and Great Northern are directly interested.
