and for the bitter contest forever ended
at Appomattox has been substituted a

believe It is within the power of the sur

fraternity a National anthem, loyalty a
National creed and charity a National
virtue.
"My comrades, as we grow older our
hearts become more gentle and tender,
and next to the comrade who stood by our
side is the brave soldier who faced us.

names of three fakers were taken by the
police, and the offenders were released by
their depositing $5 bail for their appear

nine other persons arrested were small
boys, and they were released on the un
derstanding that they would not sell on
the streets.
"I lost a good thing," sighed one boy.
"I sold canes, wid ribbon, fur two-bits.

"Sh-h-h. Don't give the snap away,"

one was equaled by the generous hospi

journey I found no sectional lines, sullen
faces or closed doors. One marked con
trast, however, distinguished the surviv

the South have, In a spirit worthy of
the highest praise, done much to relieve
their necessities, the 'Nation's wounds'
have not yet been fully bound.
"At the close of the war the Southern
people were too impoverished to make
adequate provision for those who suffered
from disease and wounds, and the result
was that many a Confederate soldier end
ed his days in the almshouso and was
burled in a pauper's grave.

An Ancient Ceremony.
NEW YORK. Sept. 1. During the pres

cashire, celebrates Its Guild Merchant,
which Is a unique survival of the Middle
Ages, says a Tribune dispatch from Lon

celebrations In Preston, and since 1542
they have been held at regular Intervals
of 20 years. The Guild Merchants have
obviously to do with admission to the
freedom of the :own. "Guild" being merely
a corrupt spelling of "gild," which means
a money payment. A feature of the Guild
this year Is the collection of pictures Earl
Derby has gotten together by personal ap
peal. Lord Derby Is Mayor of Preston,
and his ancestors have been guild bur

DEFENDANTS IN THE MERGER SUIT
FILE THEIR. ANSWER.
Deny That Any Combination of Par
allel Lines Was Made for Purpose
of Preventing: Competition.
ST. PAUL, Sept. L The defendants in
the merger suit brought by the State of
Minnesota filed their answers this after
noon in the office of the Clerk of the
United States Circuit Court. The suit
was brought by the state against the
Northern Securities Company, James J.
Hill as an individual, the Great Northern
Railway Company and the Northern Pa
cific Railway Company. There Is one an
swer for the Securities Company and Mr.
Hill, In his character as president and In
dividually; one for the Great Northern
and one for the Northern Pacific.
The answer for the Securities Company
and for Mr. Hill sets up all the matters
of defense, and the railways in their plead
ings simply follow the Securities Com
pany's answer, with some changes of
phraseology, as are required by their di
verse characters. The main answer, that
of tho Securities Company, Is more than
usually direct and plain for a legal plead
ing. It follows the general lines of the
answer in the suit brought by the Federal
Government, although differing on some
Important points.
The defendants deny that the Northern
Securities Company has ever conducted
any business In Minnesota or established
any place of business or owned any prop
erty In the state: and that the. railroads,
the property of the Eastern Railway Com
pany, of Minnesota, are operated by vir
tue of a lease to the T5rcat Northern Rall
j way Company. They also deny that J. J.
I Hill has ever hpfn nwnir nf. nr in the pos
session or control of, or had at any time
subject to his direction or disposition more
than a majority, or more than a portion
far less than a majority, of the capital
stock of the Great Northern Company.
They deny that the Northern Pacific Rail
way Company ever became a corporation
of or within the Stale of Minnesota, or
that it ever became subject to the laws
thereof, except by filing a copy of Its
articles with the Secretary of State and
complying with the statutes relating to
the admission to the state of railway com
panies organized under the laws of other
states. They also deny that the Northern
Pacific or Its lines have, since the organ
ization of the Securities Company, been
operated subject to the dictation or con
trol of the officers of that .company, and
deny that the board of directors of the
Northern Pacific Company, when the bill
was filed, or at any time since, have been
the persons stated In said bill. On the
contrary, the board of directors of said
company was, when the bill was filed and
ever since has been composed as follows:
George E. Baker. Edward H. Harrlman,
William P. Clough. Brayton Ives. D. WII
lis James, John S. Kennedy, Daniel S.
Lamont, William Rockefeller, Charles
Steele, Samuel Spencer, James Stlllman,
Eben B. Thomas, H. McK. Twombley. all
of New York City: Charles S. Mellen. of
St. Paul; Samuel Rea, of Philadelphia.
They admit that the cities and towns
named in the bill are principals on each
of the two lines of railway, but deny that
the lines between these points are parallel,
or that the lines competed for freight or
passenger traffic between said points In
any different manner or to any greater
extent prior to the formation of the Se-
TABOUR'S PLAYFUL ELEPHANT.
KEEPS HIS ATTENDANTS GUESSING WOTIH SWINGING AN AT.
Among Jabour'e attractions Is a large elephant, with dubby tusks bound on the ends with brass knobs. While waiting for
the fun to commence yesterday afternoon the elephant secured an ax that oome of the circus hands had accidentally left lying
around, and in a few minutes he had everybody guessing". Whenever anybody approached within hitting- distance he would make
a paos at them with his little hatchet, and there would be a general scramble for safety. After he had terrified a number of
persons and had resisted having the ax taken from him for some time, he was finally persuaded to drop It, and It was forthwith
removed from tho neighborhood. He had no sooner been deDrlved of this than he rot his trunk on a railroad tie from the
miniature railway, and there was trouble again for a few minutes. This, too, had to be taken from him with much coaxing, and
then he remained a good elephant for the rest of the day.
curltles Company than they have at all
times done since the formation of that
companyrand will continue to do In the
future. They deny that the lines of the
defendant companies between the State of
Minnesota and Puget Sound, were or are
n-imll.l Vintft nirar Vioon (nmnf tint!
lines, except at a few points, at nearly all
of which points they competed and sun
compete with the lines of other companies.
They deny that the defendant companies
have competed, with each other for passen
ger or freight traffic In any other or dif
ferent manner or to any greater extent
than they have continuously done since
the formation of the Securities Company
and will continue to do In the future. They
admit that the lines are the only lines of
a single railway company traversing east
and west all the northern tier of states
west of the Mississippi River. They deny
that these lines are the only lines crossing
the State of Minnesota and connecting
the Pacific Ocean by rail with points In
said state, or that they are the only lines
connecting the territory of the northern
tier of states or the territory tributary
thereto by rail with the Pacific Ocean.
They say that, except the grants of swamp
lands, the grants by the state in aid of
railways In Minnesota were made by the
territory and State of Minnesota merely
In execution of trusts repesed In them,
respectively, by acts of Congress granting
lands of the United States to
aid In the construction of such
railways. None of said lands were
ever tho property of said territory
or state, each of which was a mere con
ductor to transfer the title of such lands
from the United States to the respective
corporations by which such railways were
built, and said grants. Congressional, ter
ritorial or state, were solely In considera
tion of the construction of such railways,
and none of said grants were made to
either of the defendant railway companies.
None of such grants nor either of said
swamp land grants was a gift to the com
pany receiving them, but each of them
was made upon a valuable and full con
sideration furnished by the company re
ceiving the same.
They admit making large shipments of
wheat and other products from and to the
places named in the bill. They deny that
competition between the defendant com
panies for traffic between said places was,
prior to the organization of the Securities
Company, any sharper or more active, or
morn nroductlve of lower rates for freight
or passengers than .It has been at all .times I
since such organization, and still Is, and j
deny that such rates have been at any j
time since the organization of the Securi- 1
ties Company, or now are or will be any
higher than if said company had not been
formed. On the contrary, they say that
.since the formation of said company such J
rates have already been largely reaucen.
and are now and will. continue to be lower
than those stated In the bill to have been
secured by the sharp and active competi
tion therein alleged.
They admit that after the formation of
the Securities Company, and on Novem
ber 22, 1901, that company did request the
Great Northern Company to purchase such
of their shares as should be' offered within
60 days of date at 1S0 per share, and pay J
therefor in shares on its own capital at
par. Except as aforesaid, they say that
the Securities Company has not offered or
sought to purchase any stock of either of
said railway companies In exchange for
its own shares. They say that the Secu
rities Company has purchased for cash a
large amount of the shares of tho defend
ant railroad companies and of other companies.
They deny that James J. Hill was at l
any time the principal or controlling
stockholder of the Great Northern Com
pany, and say that while said J. J. Hill
was for a short time nominally a director
of the Northern Pacific Company, he never
cast any vote as such. The defendants
deny any and all manner of unlawful
combination and confederacy.

versity means for University Park? See what
colleges have done for suburbs of Chicago, Bos

have been built from no other support. Lots at
Evanston that now sell for $50,000 each would
not sell for $500 per acre if it were not for the
Northwest University being located there. Don't
let your prejudice prevent you from making a

MR. MELLEN, president of the Northern

his corporation would immediately com

bridge opposite University Park, would tunnel
the peninsula at University Park, would bridge

This means the expenditure of $3,000,000 at and

from Vancouver through University Park to the

Our liquor restriction will make it distasteful for
