[ e Mtz PAILROADS ARE NOT SATISFIED Will File Exceptions to Min- nesota Ruling. WONONNEARLY ALLPOINTS Despite Uniform Decisions in Their Favor the Attorneys for the Carriers Contend That the Master’s Report Not Go Far Enough—Case Will Be Carried to Highest Court, No Matter How the Circuit Court Decides. Does St. Paul, Oct. 1.—Exceptions to the findings of Judge C. E. Otis, master in chancery in the Minnesota rate . cases, are being prepared not only by the attorneys for the state, against whose contentions the master found slmost uniformly in his report, but by the attorneys for the plaintiff railroad stockholders. “That reports seems to be a sweep- ing document in our favor,” said Jared How, of How, Butler & Mitchell, at- torneys of the railroads involved in the controversy, “but we are not sat- isfied with it. It falls short of doing what we contend ought to be done in many ways. We shall certainly file exceptions.” E. T. Young, former attorney gen- eral, and counsel for the state in these cases, remarked in this connec- tion: “I don’t see what exceptions the stockholders’ attorneys could care to file. The findings of the master gave them about all they asked for. I can scarcely understand how they could make more demands of him, un- less they should obtain leave to amend their complaints and ask for more.” E. S. Durment and E. T. Young, on behalf of the state, are now busily en- gaged in preparing their exceptions. They expect to take all the time the . court has allowed for, this, and that is until Oct. 20. Mr. Young said he thought the arguments before the cir- cuit court itself would be concluded and the cases submitted before Nov. 1. Whether the cases are argued be- fore and submitted to Judge W. H. Sanborn, presiding judge of the Eighth circuit, alone or before more or all of the circuit judges of hte cir- cuit, is a matter that Judge Sanborn himself will determine. How long the circuit court will be in making up its decision no one can tell. It is certain, however, that the cases will go on ap- peal to the federal supreme court, whatever the circuit court decides. BACK FROM RATE HEARING Attorney for Lumbermen Scores Pol- icy of Railroads. Minneapolis, Oct. 1.—John Lind, counsel for a number of Western lum- bermen, who attended the rate hear- ing at Chicago last week, says that the railroads have hoisted the black flag and are after more of the people’s money. Mr. Lind says he will care- fully watch the procedures and attend all important conferences in Washing- ton before the interstate commerce commission or elsewhere. In support of his statements Mr. Lind made the following statement: “The position of the railroads is that they want more money. That is the plea of all of them and the gen- eral managers of the Missouri Pacific, the Burlington and other roads say that the pending proposed increase in rates is simply the entering wedge, that it is their plan to have a general and substantial increase all along the line.” LAWYER MAY BE DISBARRED Is Accused of Embezzling Large Sum of Money.

Reynolds, Professor Vet- erinary Medicine and Surgery, Minn. Agricultural College. ok ckckckd kbl b bk There are at least two forms of heat prostration. We may know the first as common heat prostration; which is accompanied by heart failure. The second one might well be called heat fever. This is the common sun-stroke, and is essentially a disturbance of the heat-regulating mechanism of the aui- mal body. The animal body temperature, at any given moment, is simply a balance between heat production and heat loss. Body temperature—i. e., heat production and heat loss—is regulated by certain nerve centers; and the ex- planation of heat fever is that these nerve centers become paralyzed, as a result of long continued. stimulation and extreme effort to preserve normal body temperature in spite of surround- ing conditions. These centers become exhausted and insensible to the usual stimulations; the heat-regulating ma- chinery is then no longer under con- trol, and there develops a rapid rise of temperature in the body. Symptoms. This trouble appears very frequently after warning symp- toms showing that the horse is not right. When he is taken out of the stable, the horse seems just a little dull, and he may be panting or breath- ing hurriedly, out of proportion to the amount of exercise he has taken. The horse may go to work, and do fairly well for a time, but does not seem quite natural. After working along in this way for a while, he gets worse rather suddenly; he may totter and fall. After this, there frequently ap- pear violent symptoms, indicating brain disturbance. The horse strug- gles violently and throws his head around recklessly. Some cases do not show these violent symptoms. There ok bbb K + - frequently develops paralysis of the hind quarters. Some cases develop very rapidly. The horse seems almost gone soon after he goes down. These cases may be more nopeful than the violent ones. There is usually snoring respira- i Horses working in field on hot days should be watered frequently. tion, indicating serious brain disturb- ance; and, in all these cases, the tem- perature is very high; the breathing is shallow and quick; the pulse is either very hurried or weak or some- times slow and irregular. The skin is either dry and very hot or else cov- ered with a cold sweat; and the mus- cles under the skin tremble. Cause. Causes of sun-stroke may be summed up under heat, bodily fa- tigue, lack of sufficient water, and hu- midity of atmosphere. Prevention. The owner is usually very foolish not to heed the warning symptoms. When a horse is panting on a hot day—perhaps on coming out of the stable—and seems sluggish, not quite up to his usual spirits, he should not be worked at all, or only with ex- treme caution. The driver frequently has some warning, in the field, before the severe attack comes on. A horse which has been sweating profusely may sudden- ly stop sweating, and the skin get dry and harsh, without any ordinary ex- planation. When such a horse sud- denly quits sweating at work, on a hot day, it is time to give him water in a hurry, and to get him under shade. Standing still for a long period of time, in the hot sun, seems to be even more dangerous than moderate work for a previously well horse. In very hot weather, horses at work in the field should be given water at least five times a day, with rather frequent stops in the shade, if this is possible. Under the heading of prevention, it should be remembered also that a horse that has once suffered from heat fever is very susceptible, and is apt to have the same trouble over again. Treatment. The horse should be gotten into the shade just as soon as possible, and have cold applications from the head to the tail, especially along the back. An ordinary sprink- ling-can does very nicely; but a hose with spray nozzle is still better. The cold water should be continued until the temperature is reduced to about 103 F.; or, in other words, until there is still left about two degrees of fever. The horse should be given four to six ounces of whisky in a pint of wa- ter, or some similar stimulant, as soon as possible; this to be repeated in smaller doses about every half hour, The Unhumbled' Valet. The Duke of Cambridge was once about to visit Lord Stratford, wha bad been appointed ambassador to Turkey At an early hour on the morning of his expected arrival the ambassador went, in slippers and dressing gown. to see if the rooms were in perfect or- der. He found that the duke’s valet had arrived and was arranging his master’s trunks and portmanteaus. Btratford gave some directions how they should be placed. The man left off working and stared at the intruder. “T tell you what it is.,” he said. *I know how his royal highness likes to have his things arranged better than you do. So you just be off. will you, old fellow?" Lord Stratford left in a towering passion. Calling one of his attaches. he ordered him to go in and tell the man whom he had addressed in such language. The attache returned with twinkling eyes. “What did you say?’ asked the am- bassador. “1 said to him, my lord, that the per- son he had ventured to address such language to was her majesty’s repre- sentative to Turkey.” “Ah, quite right. And his answer?" “He answered, my lord, that he never said you wasn’t.”—*With Lord Stratford In the Crimean War.” Wise Men of Gotham. A “wise man of Gotham” is a fool, but the phrase arose through the real wisdom of the people that lived in the English town of Gotham. The story goes that King John of England once visited the-town with the intention of seeing a castle that he thought of tak- ing for himself. But the Gothamites did not care for the nearness of roy- alty and the expense they would be put to if the king should have a house there, and so they cooked up a scheme to drive him away. When the king ar- rived with his company of followers and rode through the town he saw all the inhabitants of Gotham going through the most foolish of tasks, each person with a silly smile on his face. The king was disgusted with them. He would not live among crazy people, and so he rode on through the town and did oot stop for the castle. Then the wise men of Gotham, still smiling. but not in a silly fashion, told one an- other that there were more fools that passed through Gotham than remain in it Not What He Seemed. Lieutenant General J. M. Grierson tells an amusing story of some maneu- vers in which he took part, Only a small body of troops were being ac- tually employed, and “skeleton forces™ were the rule—in other words, small bodies of men represented whole divi- sions. General Grierson with his staff was riding along a lane when he sud- denly came upon one of the enemy's pickets sitting calmly by the roadside. Quickly the general rode up to him and said: “You are my prisoner; you had better surrender.” The man grinned and pointed to a flag beside him. “Beg pardon, sir,” he said, “but I am a brigade of infantry, so you are all my prisoners.”—London Mail. Christians In Old Rome. Religious persecution as such was unknown under the Romans. The Christians were regarded as seditious. In denying the divinity of the Cae- sars and the Roman gods they were guilty of high treason in Roman eyes and were accordingly punished. But their punishment had no religious sig- nificance whatever. The Christians were persecuted not because they were Christians, but because, in the opinion of the authorities. they were disturb- ers of the peace and safety of the state. Religious persecution was a thought that never entered the Roman mind.—New York American. Wounds of the Heart. In wounds of the heart itself the es- cape of blood is never in large quanti- ty. and the lethal consequences are due to the fact that the escape of blood from within its cavity or cavities into the surrounding sac of the peri- cardium mechanically interrupts the alternate contraction and expansion by which its pumping action is maintain- ed. Accordingly the results of the wound of the heart are usually identi- cal with those of gradual suffocation. Cutting. A Scotch lawyer was well reproved when, seated by a lady fully aware of her own plain looks, having bowed to his hostess in giving the toast, “Hon- est Men and Bonnie Lasses,” she re- Joined, raising her own glass, “We may both drink that toast, since it re- fers to neither of us.” Similar Tastes. Belle—But do you think you and he are suited to each other? . Nell—Oh. perfectly! Our tastes are quite. simi- lar. I don’t care very much for him, and he doesn’t care very much for me. —Paris Figaro.

A Cleveland party recently sojourn- ing in a Toronto hotel decided to take an automobile ride about the city. They approached the extremely self conscious clerk and asked him where they could secure a car. “Our head waitah has two, don’t y’ | know,” he replied. & It took some little time to recover from this shock, but presently one of the party ventured to ask the price. “Three an hour,” was the answer, That was voted satisfactory, and at luncheon one of the Clevelanders turned to the nearest waiter. | “Who 1is the chap that owns two automobiles?” he asked. “1 am the chap,” the walter replied, and he threw such a freezing empha- sis into the word ‘*‘chap” that it was fairly frost cracked. They finished their luncheon before they had enough courage to ask the price. H “Four dollars an hour.” the waiter replied with haughty indifference. Then they went uptown and hired a very good car for $3 an hour.—Cleve- land Plain Dealer. The Gaelic A B C. Every letter In the Gaelic alphabet is represented by a tree. The alphabet of today consists of elghteen letters— in ancient Gaelic seventeen—and now, as of old. all the letters with the ex- ception of g. t and u, which stand for ivy. furze and heather, are called after trees. The Gaelic A B C of today runs: | Aflm. beite, c¢oll, dur, eagh, fearn, gath. huath. jogh. luis, muin. nuin, ofv, peith, ruis. suil, teine, ur, which is equivalent to saying elm, birch, hazel, oak, aspen, alder, ivy, whitethorn, lew, rowan or quicken, vine, ash, spindle tree. pine, elder. willow, furze, heath. In the ancient Gaelic’ alphabet the letter h (the heath or whitethorn) does not exist. The alphabet is called the beth-luis-nuin, because b 1 n and not a b c are its first three letters. How the Natives Treat Gorillas. Natives in the countries inhabited by great apes regard them always as hu- man beings of inferior types. and it is for this reason that for a long time it was found impossible to get hold of an entire gorilla skin, because the sav- ages considered it religiously necessary to cut off the hands and feet of the animals when they killed them, just as they do with their enemies. possibly for the purpose of rendering them harmless in case they should by any chance come to life again, Bemidji, Minn., Sept 2F, 1910.
