The Soo road has agreed with Public Examiner S. T. Johnson to pay $1,150 back taxes on items of earnings not heretofore reached. Of this amount $750 has already been turned in to the state treasury, and the other $400 is oji the way. In addition, $13,000 is in dispute. The state and the company are endeavoring to come to an amicable settlement, and have entered into a stipulation. Th e taxes run back for six years. Back of that date the statute of limitations bars action, and if suit is not filed before Jan. 1, the taxes of 1898 will also be unoollect ible. The stipulation is that the statute of limitations shall not operate^ against any of the amounts in eontrovers^,'--^^ Larger Items of Other Roads.

The M. & St. X. has agreed to pay taxes amounting to $989. . but disputes the state's claim to^the remainder. The North western has paid $175.19, aside from what is in controversy. The Great Northern has already paid $6,000 back taxes on its Minneapolis ele vators. Thesepayments. actual and pros pective, are the fruits of the law passed at the extra session, which gave the pub lic examiner power to examine the books of all companies paying gross earnings taxes. The items were discovered in examination of the books . this summer. Each item presents a distinct legal Ques tion, and the present law may be con strued to tax the income from operation only, but the tangible results will repay the state for the trouble.

SIMPLIFIES SGHO0L PLAN No New Pupils Are to Be Admitted After the Spring Va- cation. Notice is given by the board of educa tion that no new pupils will be received in the public schools after the spring vaca tion. All children who will be six years old by Feb. 24 may be entered at the be ginning of the next term, Jan. 26, Though beginning pupils may be admitted at any time in the first four weeks of the session, parents are urged to start them promptly. ^ While tlye school year is now divided thto two semesters', instead of by the old three-term system, it has heretofore been permitted children, who would.be six in the spring to enter after the" spring vaca tion. The result was to divide the grades into three classes. With the establishment of the two term plan a change was neces sary.but the custom of starting children in the schools in the spring was not'easily abolished. / THE R. L'S FIRST MONTH It Makes a Good Showing in the Campaign for Traffic From Minneapolis. The new Rock Island freight office in Minneapolis makes a favorable showing for the first month's business. It is only since Dec. 1, strictly speaking, that the road has been operating in Minneapolis. Since Dec. 1 the road has had its men out after business and a fair traffic has been worked up. To date 163 cars of flour have been tak en out, and 60 cars of feed and millstuffs, 50 cars of rye and barley and about as much wheat. The road has also received liberal pat ronage from the mercantile interests. The road now appears on the daily re ports of the Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce and must be reckoned a fixture from this time on and a factor in competition for traffic both in and out of the. city.

A case will short ly be brought to the attention of the au thorities where an unnatural, father not only confiscated the earnings of a club footed son. but objects to an operation that will give the boy a good pair of feet, because it would interfere with his money getting, capacity. Friends of the boy interested in "put ting him on his feet," have .offered to pay for an operation, and if they have their way, the father will not be allowed to stand in the way of the boy's welfare. For many months the boy has been a familiar figure. He may be seen dail/ stumping his way about from store to store and in and out of the.office build ings, selling lead pencils and other useful articles.

QUESTIO N mmw Raised by the State in Arguing Against Ames' Motion for a ' - , ' New Trial. ' - - Evidence of Women Was Not De signed to Prove Commission of "Other Crimes." The eharlrig on the motion for a new trial in the case of Former Superintendent ot Police Frederick W.-,' Ames was resumed to-day before Judge Brooks. County At torney F. H. Boardman argued that if the state had rested at the conclusion q Addle Mills' testimony, as the defense maintains it should have done, the cause would at once have been dismissed for the reason that Cohen's relations to the chief had not then been, established. -He said, too that'the- testimony of the other women, who swore that they had paid Cohen money, - was not designed to prove the commission of crimes other than that charged in the indictment, but simply to shdw. that Cohen was in fact Ames' agent", and that he acted as such and was so regarded by the unfortunates who paid him hush'money. ..,.'' Mr. Boardman reviewed the testimony of these women at length and argued that the state could riot have made out a case without them. "They were not called to prove the commission of other crimes," said he, "and if their testimony had that effect the state is not responsible."

W' V c 4. 1303, v\*Utlx Toledo Mayor's Anti-Hat-Lifting Idea Not at All Popular in the Flour City. -, , ? Men and Women Alike Favor Be terttion of Lifting the Hat to the Ladies. Mayor Sam Jones of Toledo is known to be rather iconoclastic. In a good many of his ideas many people agree with nim. although they may be rather startled at his boldness. But on one point recently taken ho Minneapolis .citizen could be found to-day who indorsed'.his attitude. Mayor Jones has declar.ed that it is neither right nor necessary for a man to raise his hat to ladies and that he never raises his hat to anybody or Anything. In jus tice, it should be stated that the Toledo mayor did. not voluntarily put himself on record in. this matter* The opinion was called forth by comments on an incident which occurred in . Toledo a ago. Mayor Jones was,riding jh a street car, which proves'hini an economical city ruler, and across the aisle sat a woman of his acquaintance. She bestowed upon,the mayor a friendly,bow and reeeiyed in re turn a stingy little nod without so much as a finger being touched to the mayoralty cap, much less having it ?raisj6d from the head. ' , ..\v'.' y-- . .'.. . - The mayor argues: A- V "This lady would think I was crazy if I lifted my cap for instance,-to the woman whom I see scrubbing the marble floor of the boarding-house corridor. Yet if Iv lifted my hat to the pjie I should Jift it to the other." - / iv.,.r .... Our Own Mayor. J6nes? Minneapolis has a mayor of entirely dif ferent-opinions, for when the incident and its conclusion were related to him he said promptly: "It is hard to find any question in such a matter it seems to me it can have but one side for a gentleman- The raising of the hat is a natural and proper courtesy for any gentleman to show to any lady of his acquaintance. I don't believe we want less of the amenities and civilities of life but rather more. It seems to me both ill-bred and ill-natured to disregard this courteous custom- Personally, I snoUld go farther than lifting the hat to ladies.' I think its proper and good to show the same mark of respect to men of distinction and standing and there are a number of my men acquaintances that it gives me pleasure to salute in this way. The cus tom of lifting the hat to both men and women is general abroad and it is a very pleasant thing to see. I was very much impressed with it in the dutes of Stock holm and Christiania and T have observed that a number of our foreign born citizens have retained their old world courtliness and it seems to me very becoming. The best bred men of our city are all inclined in the same direction." A Woman's View. Miss M. Belle Jeffery, general secretary of the Young Women's Christian associa tion, would have the hat-raising custom retained as one of the few modes left to a man to express his respect of the fem inine sex. "The tendency of the time Js the loss of gallantry, and especially in business, - women have surrendered all of their special privileges. We stand in the street cars, while our men acquaintances comfortably occupy the seats, without any evidence of feeling affronted, for cus tom, has come to sanction even this prac tice, but it seems to me some of these little courtesies ought to be retained for the, sake of their reflex influence upon* the men. The teaching, of., courtesy cannot help developing thoughtfulness, and thoughtfulness reveals character. Yes, 1 think it would be a pity if we couldn't continue to expect the men to recognize us by lifting their hats. Lesson From George Washington. "George Washington's experience with his colored servants illustrates my feel ing on this matter perfectly," said Mrs. E. M. La Penotiere, president of the Min nesota Federation of Women's Clubs. "He was criticized for raising his hat to his humble servitor. The father of his country replied, 'I could not afford to let the humblest citizen surpass me in cour- tesy.' " .Mrs. La. Penotiere continued, "I don't believe in grading one's courtesy I think the same recognition should be given to any honest and respectable woman as to the first lady of the land, in the matter of salutations. The practice is good discipline for a boy and fixes a habit that as a man he will never be ashamed of. There is no danger of being oerly polite." Miss Mary Judd of the Lincoln school has a large share in the training of many boys, {.nd her opinion is emphatic in favor of lifting the hat. She teaches that a special courtesy is due to women, of which the : "THE SUBURBAN " this pretty custom is one of the symbols. She legards such observances as the marks of a higher civilization, and would deplore anything tending to break down any of them. These little acts of respect are the material for character building. . Litt's production of "The Suburban" and will appear in the comedy role of Jack Brumbaugh from Montana.

"To what level are women de scended if men can't raise their hats to thc-m! I don't think either that a true gentleman makes any distinction of rank or condition in offering this universal maik of courtesy to women." A Word for the Bald. Dr. Cora Smith Baton held to the gen eral opinion that no mark of courtesy should be abated, but she was inclined to excuse the bald-headed men from expos ing their polished polls in very severe weather, as she thought women would not wish to be responsible for endangered health and .would prefer to lose some thing from their accustomed salutation under such conditions. On the other hand she recommended as a hygienic measure the frequent and prolonged re moval of hats in moderate weather as a preventative of baldness, and so would distinctly encourage the custom. J. S. Bradstreet was entirely in accord with the women and the .mayor that all salutations should be marked in their evidence of respect and courtesy and that they are due to all acquaintances without discrimination. H e noted exceptions, however, in which he thought the military fashion of touching the cap and the soft hat meant the same thing and the actual removal of the head covering would be rather awkward. The ideals of the democracy, have not yet so fully permeated Signor Edgar Perara, and while he would yield to none in,courtesy and kindliness, he regarded the lifting of the hat as a custom prevail ing among people of approximately the same grade of society that it was only due to ladles whom he recognized as social acquaintances. However, he preferred to err on the side of giving unnnecessary recognition to those not entitled to it and who would not expect it rather than to abate one jot of respect and courtesy to any. H e pointed out, however, one cause of the loss of courtesy, saying: "But really I think a great: many Amerir can girls don't appreciate punctilious po liteness. They have much more appre ciation of a man who treats them in a rough manner like his man chum and who rather glories in his boorishness." A JUDGE'S ERROR Omits Mention of a Defendant's Allegations and Noy Suit Must Be Tried Again. Decisions by the Supreme Court Contain Only the One Re versal To-day. ' The supreme court handed down several decisions this morning, including only one reversal. In an Otter Tail county case the court finds a serious error by the trial judge. The suit was brought by a con tractor to enforce payments, and ho al leged that the work was not completed be cause he was not furnished with plans and specifications. The defendant alleged that the work had been abandoned without cause. This point was entirely ignored in the charge of the judge, who made no reference to it. A new'trial is granted on the grounds stated. A. W. Sanderson and his wife Carolina fail to recover anything from the North ern Pacific Railway company for trouble with a conductor,~who forced th^m to pay $40 fare for two children. Sanderson got a verdict for $42, but the lower court set it aside, and it is held that no appeal lies from that order. Mrs. Sanderson sued for $2,000 damages for fright, but the court holds that there was no direct injury to. her. The syllabus says: IN A. W.
