HILL DISCUSSES RECENT RE DUCTIONS ON GRAIN AND MERCHANDISE LOWER TARIFFS FOR MINNESOTA AND DAKOTAS These Will Be Announced Within a Week, Says President of Great Northern, Who Returned Last Night From a Visit to the Coast—C. S. Mellen Also Returns. "The reductions in freight rates, on grain and merchandise, in the North west proper (referring to the Pacific coast section), since Jan. 1, will amount to $2,250,000," said President James J. Hill, of the Great Northern to Th c Globe last night, as he alighted from a Great Northern special train. Mr. Hill was in good spirits and sat isfied with his Western trip, that has extended over the period of a month, during which time he has addressed the farmers of the Northwest and promised them reductions in rates on all classes of merchandise. Accompanying Mr. Hill were his son, Louis J. Hill; John W. Stevens, of the Great Northern, and W. B. Dean, a director of the Soo line. "Whaf amount, in round figures, will be saved to the farmers of the North west by these reductions?" was asked Mr. Hill. "That I cannot say. The total saving by the reduction will reach $2,250, --000." "There has been considerable talk of grain rate reduction in this section. How about that?" "Yes," replied Mr. Hill, "the rates will be reduced in Minnesota and the Dakotas. I cannot say just exactly what the reduction will be, but they will be reduced." "When will they be announced?" To Be Announced Soon. "They will be announced within a week now," said Mr. Hill, referring both to the reductions in Minnesota and the Dakotas and to the new rates from points on the Pacific coast. When asked how the farmers re ceived the party, Mr. Hill smiled and said: "That's an old story now. They sent for us, you know." He referred to the fact that reports of the various meetings have already been published. While in the West Mr. Hill delivered talks to a number of different meetings in or near all the larger cities and in the most important farming districts of the Northwest. The trend of all these meetings was toward the benefit of the farmer and shipper, and the remarks of Mr. Hill last night only confirm the reports that have been published here regarding the reduction of the rate on grain. It will be seen from Mr. Hill's state ment to the effect that the rate would be in effect within a week, that the new schedule will be announced in ample time for the movement of the present crop, and the farmers will thus be di rectly and immediately benefited by the move on the part of the roads. Mr. Hill made no definite estimate upon the for ffffs'^yeary ■ but evi dently believes that It will be a big one. He has made tt thorough inspection of the prospects and is heartily in favor of the reductions that are about to go into effect. Rates Low Enough. Regarding the rate between here and Chicago, Mr. Hill said that he guessed the rates were low enough now, and would say nothing further. From what can be seen from a local standpoint, it appears, however, that the Chicagoi-St.r Paul lines have come into line on the matter of the reduction of rates. . Mr. Mellen, of the Northern Pacific, and his party came in on an earlier train. HEATWOLE WILL HELP WHITFORD IN FIGHT He Will Do His Best to Defeat Ives in the Third District. Friends of E. A. Whitford, the seventh candidate to file for the con gressional nomination on the Repub lican ticket in the Third district, are giving it out that Congressman Heat wole will give his personal attention to helping Whitford in the fight. Gov. Van Sant having been responsible for the entrance of "Gid" Ives in the race, it is but natural that Heatwole should have a favorite in the field. Whitford has helped Heatwole in previous cam paigns and gave the present congress man from the Third district Dakota county two years ago, while the bal ance of the candidates on the Demo cratic ticket carried the county. Whitford has all along been a strong Van Sant man and this and together with the help he will get from Heat wole makes his friends confident he will win out at the primary election.

He Was a Civil Engineer, a Clever Draughtsman and Unusually Well Informed—Had Been in Poor Health for the Past Five Years—Funeral Today. Willis Smith, aged forty-nine years, and a son of Mayor Robert A. Smith, was found dead shortly before noon yesterday in his room at 568 Wabasha street. Death was due to heart failure caused by chronic gastritis. About 11 o'clock yesterday morning Mrs. Richard Zinn, with whom Mr. Smith had boarded for the past six months, heard him groaning in his room. She tried to open the door, but found it bolted. Mrs. Zinn then sent for C. W. Copley, Mayor Smith's son in-law. When Mr. Copley arrived the door was forced, and Mr. Smith was found dead, lying on his bed. Dr. Artz was summoned, but when he ar rived the man had been dead almost an hour. Coroner Miller investigated the case, and stated that death was due to heart failure. For many years Mr. Smith was em ployed in the city engineer's office as a draughtsman. He was also an ex pert civil engineer. For more than five years he had been unable to work on account of poor health. He cpent the greater part of his time at thd* public library, and it is said that there were but few better informed men in the Northwest. The funeral will take place at 3:30 o'clock this afternoon from the resi dence of C. W. Copley, 105 Western avenue. Rev. Benjamin Longley, pas tor of the Central Park Methodist church, will officiate. The remains were last night removed to Mr. Cop ley's home, from O'Halloran & Mur phy's undertaking rooms. Interment will be at Oakland cemetery. DEMOCRATS IN THIRD DISTRICT CONFIDENT With Seven.Republicans in the Field, the Fight Among Themselves Will Be Bitter. The numerous candidates for the Republican nomination for congress in the Third district are making things so warm that the Democrats are sat isfied they have a show to elect their candidate in the mix-up which is sure to follow the decision of the primary election.

SUSPICION Leads to the Real Cause. * The question of coffee disease or Postum health becomes of the greatest importance when we are thrown on our own resources. Many a woman when suddenly left without means of support can make a comfortable living if health remains. A brave little woman out in Barnes, Kansas, says: "I feel that I owe you a letter for the good Postum Coffee has done me. For years I was a great suf ferer with nervousness without ever suspecting the cause. Two years ago I came down with nervous prostration. My work was light, but-I could not do it; I could not even sew or read. "My sleep was broken and unrefresh ing; I suffered intensely and it seemed only a matter of time till I must lose my reason. "My mental distress was as great as my physical, when one day a friend brought me a trial of Postum Coffee and urged me to use it instead of cof fee for a few days, saying that Postum had cured her of liver trouble and sick headaches. I replied that I thought I could not give up coffee; I had always used It as a stimulant; however, the Postum Food Coffee proved to be pleasing to the taste, and I used it and was surprised to see that I was resting and getting better. "My husband bought several pack ages and insisted on me using it alto gether. Gradually, but not the less surely, I fully recovered. I never used coffee afterward, and when I was left a widow, a year later, I was able to open a dressmaking shop and support myself and little girls." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

A special train of Pullman cars came In yesterday over the Burlington from Indianapolis, bound for Yellowstone Park. There were 140 men, women and children in the party and they went to the Ryan hotel for breakfast. During the day they scattered out over the city and suburbs and in the after noon went to Minneapolis, where din ner was served them at the West.

Julius Johnson, a porter on the Chi cago & Great Western railroad, who says his home is in Chicago, was ar rested at the central police station yesterday afternoon charged with stealing $70 from Mrs. P. C. Gomez, a colored woman from Denver. Johnson came to the station to complain that he had been robbed of $70 at the Yukon hotel, Eighth and Robert street. Shortly before he came to the station, word was received from Minneapolis that a man named Johnson had reliev ed Mrs. Gomez of her money. Capt. Clark ordered him arrested. Mrs. Gomez claims that she met Johnson on the Great Western train coming from Chicago, last Monday evening. She went to Minneapolis to visit friends and told him to call. He did so yesterday and both came to St. Paul. The woman had a Wells, Fargo express money order for $70, which she wished to cash. She told Johnson of the money and the two went to the offlc*e of the company, where the money was paid and sealed in an en velope. Both Johnson and the woman then boarded an interurban car for Minne apolis, Johnson succeeded in inducing Mrs. Gomez to give him the money for safe keeping. When near the midway station he said that he was going out on the rear platform to smoke. Mrs. Gomez was not at all suspicious of his actions. Just as the car turned University avenue to Washington she looked back, but the man had disappeared. The conductor said that a colored man got off the car at Cleveland avenue. Mrs. Gomez informed the Minneapolis police department of the robbery and at 1 o'clock Chief O'Connor was noti fied. Shortly afterward Johnson walked into the station and reported the loss of $70 at' the Yukon hotel, where he claimed to have spent Thursday night in company with the Gomez woman. Capt. Clark arrested him. When searched he had only $11.50 on his person. Johnson denies having stolen the money from the woman. He says that he remembers seeing the envelope Thursd?^ night, but that he did not have it in his possession. He says that the woman left the money on the bureau, and did not think of it until she was on the interurban car en route to Minneapolis. He claims that as soon as she missed the envelope containing the cash he offered to return to the hotel for it, but that when he got there the en velope and money were missing. Last night Mrs. Gomez called on Johnson at the central police station and he offered to settle for $50. He wanted to assign his month's wages and to give her $10 cash. She declined the offer. Johnson will be arraigned in the police court -this morning charg ed with grand larceny. TAX BOARD IS TO HOLD FINAL MEETING TODAY Applications for Reductions the Small est in the History of the County. The final meeting of the board of equalization will be held at 10 o'clock this "forenoon. During the past three weeks that the board has been in ses sion there have been several applica tions to investigate, but in spite of this fact, never before In the history of county boards of equalization have there been so few applications for the reduction of taxes. The committee on real estate recom mended a reduction of $6,730, and presented a communication stating that while some of the other aplica tions for reduction of taxes were meri torious, they were based on grounds for the board of abatement and not for the board of equalization. The report of the retail committee was also accepted. In its report the committee recom mended an aggregate reduction of $S,lbs on the taxes of a number of re tall firms. A report was also received from the miscellaneous committee, in which only a few trifling reductions were recom mended, and it decided to stand by the assessments made by Assessor Conley. The Armour Car line, through its at torneys, filed a written protest against the assessment of $1,000 on each of forty cars the firm had on tracks in this county when the assessments were made. A few other applications for reduction were received, but no mat ters of especial interest came before the board. The final report of the various com mittees will be made at the meeting this morning.

I "S if^t THE S-^\ ■j* "S a maga^ of c o 8U C ZINE 1 OF mi g. | ZINE -; ■ CLEVERNESS 1 ;rH BUYING AT THE MARKET HOUSEHOLDERS REVIVE CUSTOM OF PURCHASING FIRST HAND Of Late Business Has Not Been Con fined to Retailers, Grocery and Res taurant Men—There Is More Money in the Small Sales for the Producer. The woman with a market basket on her arm is a noticeable feature at the Jackson street market these day 3, and her number promises to increase. With the abandonment of the old mar ket house on Jackson street this class of patronage dwindled to practically nothing, until a year ago it was al most listed among the things of other days. "If the Jackson street market," said Supt. Bevans yesterday, "has done nothing else, it has recalled to Mfc a class of patronage that I thought had passed away for good and that is the householder. When the market was confined to Third street, the patronage was confined almost exclusively to re tailers and the hotel and restaurant men. Of course there were a few peo ple who came direct to the stands and purchased the green stuff and meats offered, but they were not many. Now since the market has been moved to Jackson street the householder is a common object and threatens to be the principal source of revenue to the farmers. Of course the majority of them place their orders and have the goods delivered, but there are many who drive up in their carriages and carry the goods home with them. Money in Small Sales. "St. Paul market men have been so long used to selling in large quanti ties and getting rid of their loads in a hurry that they don't take very eager ly to this basket business, but there is decidedly more money in it than selling to the first grocer or commis sion merchant who comes along, and they are finding it out too. From pres ent prospects I am confident that in a few years St. Paul will be one of the greatest market garden centers in the Northwest." M'CONNELL WATCHING THE DEALERS IN OLEO Seven Firms Have So Far Secured Li censes to Sell the Product—Law to Be Enforced. Dairy and Food Commissioner Mc- Connell is keeping an eye, so to speak, on the oleo people who have secured licenses to sell the stuff in the state. An inspector who has been looking the matter up reports seven licenses to sell oleo in the state. Swtft, Hammond, Armour and Nel son & Morris are the firms which have secured licenses, and some of these have taken out licenses for Duluth, St Paul and Mineapolis. Eleven licenses to retail oleo have also been taken out. Commissioner McConnell expects to have trouble as soon as the lumber camps are started, as an immense amount of the oleo is disposed of at these places. "So long as the people comply with the law by selling or using uncolored oleo, and put up the signs provided for by the state law, we shall give them the sarrfe protection we give the^dealers in dairy and creamery but ter," said Commissioner McConnell yesterday, "but this department will see that the law is strictly enforced."
