The work of rescuing .-the injured
wa sconcluded about lo o'clock Sat.ui

it was impossible to continue the in

coaches were raised and it wad found
rthat evry passenger had been removed
nhe night before. Investigation re
:\t als the fact that the storm was les$
than 100 feet in width. From all re
ports the engine evidently escaped the
{fury of the cone-shaped cloud but by a
few feet and remained on,the track
wher. the coaches were carried into
the air. One of the coaches caught
the full force of the storm and was
•carried further from the track than
U10 other two.
The storm destroyed grain stacki
-of Thomas Ralke, on whose farm the
wreck occurred, and then passed be^|
'tween tha house and barn, leaving
i- ^both unharmed. It then passed north
s wost through Madford, a town on the
7 Milwaukee road. Several large barns
-were totally destroyed, as were also
-"two houses in Medford. The .resi

St. Paul, Aug. 30.—During the past
seven weeks sixty-six members of the
Twenty-flrst regiment of Infantry, lo
cated at Fort. Snelling, have deserted
from the regular army, making a
record, so .army men say, never be
fore equaled, at any post In the United
Statesl .Out of this number but one
of the deserters has been returned tc
the fort.
The largest number of desertions
came immediately following the July
pay-day, when fifty-four members of
ti\p regiment came to St. Paul and
tailed to return to the fort.
Following the August payday, at
even dozen are said to have tired ot
the life to such an extent that they
were willing to take a chance as a de
serter. Companies and E lost the
greatest number, and Company the
least.
Three MontUa' Pay Once.
The large number of desertions fol
lowing the' July pay-day is accounted
for from the fact that It was the first
pay-day after the return from the
Philippines, and the soldiers received
three months' pay. With this money,
the first they had had In months, the
soldiers came to St. Paul and Indulged
in a life of dissipation. Rather than
return to the fort after having been
absent several days, the soldiers left
the city, knowing that but little effort
would be made to have them returned.
A Company officer who has been
in the service twenty years says de7
sertlons would be reduced to a mini
mum If a canteen could be maintained
at the post.

The people were milch excited for

They thought that Secretary Park of

who Is acting as A special constable.
After finding th« baby the attorney

THE DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE
FOR GOVERNOR MAKES
HIS BOW.
WHAT HE THINKS OF THINGS
CONSIDERS THE TRUST QUES
TION ONE OF GREAT PUB
LIC CONCERN.
QUESTION OF STATE TAXATION
DEMOCRATS HAVE LONG HAD A
PLAN TO CORRECT
V THE £VILS.
Minneipolls, Aug. 31.—L. A. Hosing,
Democratic candidate for governor,
opened his campaign in this city last
night. He said in part:
"This is essentially a' state cam
paign. The questions of immediate
interest and importance are those
touching us as citizens of Minnesota.
Nevertheless, there are questions of
rational import which press upon us
for consideration and which will de
mand our attention in the congres
sional campaigns and which cannot
be separated entirely from the state
contest because, after all, the Bame
general principles apply in national
and state affairs. The principle ot
equal rights for all and special priv
ileges to none applies in state as well
as nation, and in the application of
this principle electors must decide
upon' which side they will take their
stand.
"A" question of public concern, the
Eettlement of which demands our best
though*, and courageous action, is that
Jnvolved In the monopolistic tenden
cies of the so-called trusts. Corpora
tions are formed under statutes en
acted by the representatives of the
people, and the power that creates
necessarily has the power to fix the
limitations of its creatures.
"As a preliminary step, I would ad
vocate the removal of all special priv
ileges which these so-called trusts and
combinations in restraint of trade en
joy.
"Democracy believes that the first
remedy should be the removal of all
duties upon articles handled by com
binations in restraint of trade. Let
tbem compete with the world. These
'infants' that have been capitalized
at a billion dollars and more would
seem to have passed beyond the need
of tribute from/ the purse of the Amer
ican citizen.
"The Republican candidates, state
and congressional, have no right to go
before the people of this state upon
a platform of promises. They have had
«ie. opportunity, they have had the
power, and the people of the state
have the right to Say to them: 'What
have you accomplished? Do not tell
us what you are going to do.'
"There is one suggestion in this
campaign upon which I desire to ex
press my views with special frankness.
I say suggestion, for the reason that
it does not appear to me that any issue
Is presented upqn the matter, at least
so. far as our opponents are concerned.
"For a good many years there have
been upon the statute books, of this
state provisions forbidding the con
solidation of parallel and competing
lines of railroad." It is claimed that
these provisions have been violated by
the Great Northern and Northern Pa
cific railroads, and it seems to me that
it must be apparent that if they have
not been directly violated,* an attempt
has at least beep made to evade their
spirit.
"Gov. Van Sant did his duty in call
ing upon the attorney general to en
force the law against the Consolida
tion of the Northern Pacific and Great
Northern, but there he stopped.
"Th,3 Iron range roads were merged
by the United States steel trust in
February,' 1901, sixty days after Gov.
Van Sant's inauguration, and nine
months before the attempt,to merge
the Northern coast lines. If the pres
ent state administration is entitled to
re-election because it brought suit to
forbid the consolidation of the coast
lines, what does it deserve for ignor
ing the merging of the Iron Range
roads, which hre wholly within the
State of Minnesota and are the orig
inal merger offenders?
"The Democratic platform pledges
lis caadidate and the party to the en
forcement of the piresent statutes
against consolidation, and that in
every case, and if my nomination shall
be ratified at the polls this fall I
pleldge myself to carry out the in
structions of the party in that regard."
Mr. Rising said that the question of
railroad rate* was of special lmpor
tf&ce to the people at large. He said
that the recoi cl of the present railroad
'commission .'e one of Inefficiency and
subserviency to special Interests. He
urged the election of the Democratic
candidates, saying that the question of
regulating railroad rates would then
be given proper attention..
Mr. Hosing'then went over the reo
ord of the last Democratic commission
and compared it with .what had been
dda.*bj\the pkesent commlsslon.

MINNESOTA 8TATE FAIR.
8ample Room of the Great Northwest
Thrown Open.
St. Paul, Sept 3.—Minnesota's forty
third annual state fair opened under
the most favorable auspices yesterday
morning. The fair is complete In
every detail and good weather assured
a big attendance for the first day. The
grounds are in excellent condition by
reason by reason of the recent rain,
and sightseeing is enjoyed without
discomfort. All departments are
crowded with exhibits. Every augury
indicates that this will be the greatest
fair in the history of the state agri
cultural association.
Visitors began arriving at the
grouilds as soon as the gates opened
and by afternoon the grounds were
crowded with sightseers. One of the
chief attractions during the day was
the good roads building demonstration
being conducted by the government ex
perts on .the north side of the grounds.
Farmers and city people were alike In
terested In the results obtained by the
use of the. latest machinery under the
direction of engineering experts.
The stock display is this year much
larger than heretofore. All of the
barns are filled and some herds are
accomodated in tents near the barns.
The new sheep building is overcrowd
ed and the poultry display excels any
thing ever seen on the grounds. The
entries of swine are also unusually
numerous.
HESSIAN FLY'S RAVAGES.
8tate Great
Entomologist Reports
Loss by the Pest.
Moorhead, Minn., Sept. 3.—The Hes
slan fly is the object of investigation
on the part of the state entomologist
from the experiment station at St.
Anthony Park. He reports its wide
spread occurrence. About Alexandria
farmers report losses all the way from
1 per cent or less to 10 per cent, while
In the vicinity of Fergus Falls Indi
vidual farmers do not hesitate to put
their loss in some cases as high as 25
per cent, and even 30 per cent upon
some fields. In every wheat field along
the line of the Great Northern, from
Alexandria to Moorhead, much fallen
straw can be seen lying in the stubble,
unmistakable evidence at this season
of the presence of this pest. Prof.
Washburn has visited about twenty
farms and says that 12 per cent loss
on account of the Hessian fly,is a very
conservative estimate for the counties
of Douglas, Otter Tail and Clay. In
spite of the presence of the insect the
wheat crop is turning out wonderfully.
In many sections near Alexandria
Bome farmers claim to have threshed
22, 25 and even 30 bushels to the acre.
