LOTS FOR SALE IN ANOKA.
PROPOSITION TO $5,OOOOOO MEN

ANOKA, April ID, 1903.
DR.. FosTRR.-Dear Sir: The subscriber has some
cash down from 800 to $3.50 per each lott but
should the Loan Bill be accepted by the people, he will
sell the above lots for One-a the above mentioned
sum- Because he believes that should the Constitution
be amended as proposed in the Loal Bill property at
this place will not be worth in Onehalf Its
present value. Taking into consideration the prOvis
ions of the charter have fair prospect for
Railroad East side of the Mississippi River, within
reasonable tme But in the Loan Bill there is nothing
that binding upon the Company-no penalties attach
ed that wsuld prove eective for when the Loan
Bill is adopted 1t becomes part of the Constitution Of
Minnesota ami the subscriber holds, that regard
those provisions in the Constitution and in the Charter
which conflict that such conflicting portions of said
Charter give way and succumb to the Constitution
the supreme law of the land. Let the Loan Bill be
adopted by the people, it will stand in the place of the
charter and should the company then violate its pro-
visions. What then? Why the Companies are beyond
the reach of laws-their rights and franchises will still
stand, and Legislative act be passed declaring
them void.
The subscriber is friendly Railroads and he believes
they will be built sooner under tie provisions OF the
Charter given to the Railroad Companies than they
will by the provisions of the amendment to the Const
tuition.
For this reason he is ready to sell above stated
soon as the Loan Bill is accepted by the people.
Now if there is any that has faith and confidence
in the Mississippi and Pacific Railroad Company, that
beIieUeS it intends to build the Road the East side OF
the Mississippi with any portion of the money they may
get from the sale of State Bonds they have chance
to buy the subscriber out in AnOka, and make for
tune if they have their faith and confidence realized
-. 8. The Bill has been adopted by the people, and
the lots for sale according to the above propo

The Crops-.-Enl1gratiOn.

| From all parts of our State come the most
cheering news of the crops, and all accounts
| unite in the assurance that if nothing unfore-
seen occurs, the Minnesota harvests this fall
will be unprecedently heavy and fine. This
is the case with all kinds of products, and
nothing that we have yet heard from bears
one mark of any defect either in growth or
| quality. This is the more cheering to us,
since the very papers which have been the
most abusive of Minnesota, her productive
capacity, soil, climate, etc, complain that in
their very neighborhoods the crops are all
washed out or very backward, or otherwise
discouraging in appearance. And when the
autumnal suns have ripened to full maturity
the heads of grain in ten thousand waving
| fields, and the husbandmen and his labOrers
gather the golden harvests into the bursting
garncrs, we predict that the statistics of our
years products will astonish even the sang uine
friend of Minnesota Last seasons heavy
crops were almost incredible, but they are
not spec to the yield which this fall will
show, should all things prove favorable.
The hard times, too, has driven great num-
bers of laboring men out of our larger cities,
rural districts "a sensible move. The ag-
ricultural population must have had heavy
increase this season. from the number of i'm
migrants of the farming class landing here,
who commenced at once to "pitch in " to
| the fertile acres of their new hOmesteads, and
a god result has thus been obtained from the
two sources.
The demand for labor among the agricultu-
rsts has been more nearly supplied than ever
before and the laborers who have removed
their sphere of toll from the city to the cOun-
try, have also been benefited for the uncer-
tainty of employment, and the certainty of
distress which they suffer while remaining in
a crowded city where there is now decreas-
ed demand for unintelligent labor, are all left
when they remove to the producing districts,
where labor is always in demand, and where
living, though rude, is cheap. 1t is an in
| ducement too, to become land-holder and
producer and thus draws many away to a
profitable and peaceable life, who would
otherwise remain for years in cities, and hang
ing around public works. earning only bare
| subsistence.
The immigration of the class who go at once
to improving and producing, is unprecedented
y large Our country exchanges are filled
with accounts of the crowds of emigrant
wagons which throng every road from the
river cities to the interior. They bring their
| ploughs and reapers, and cattle, and horses
they come to stay, and to aid in develop
ing the resources of this young State-to add
to her great harvests, to increase her wealth,
and build up her institutions. The prospects
for future of unexamped prosperity were
never brighter or more encouraging than now,
| all over Cur State.

THE WEEKLY MINNESOTIAN
SAINT PAUL:


RErURNEp.-Edmund Rice, Esq, Iresi,
dent of the Minnesota and Pacific halroao
Co, returned from the East on SATURDAY.
where he has been endeavoring to negoua'e
for money for the prosecution OF inc roau
of which he is President, but with what sue
cess we are not informed.-IimeS.
Now we submit that for this warm weather
that sentence is rather refreshing" Out
with what success we are not informed.
That this paper, the hired-and no doubt
naid-orean of the MINES ota and Pacific
Railroad Company, which published letter
lust before the loan election, from Mr.. RICE,
who was then in New York, and never known
TO break promise, saying that in the event
of the passage of the loan bill be had already
secured sufficient funds to commence within
six weeks the work on the Railroad stimuli
taneously at Saltwater, st. Paul, and st.
Anthony;" that this paper, we say, after
making such parade over the letter above
referred to. and protesting to be so thorough
" posted in regard TO the movements OF Mr..
RICE, and Eastern capitalists who were
alleged to be so anxious to invest in our
bonds should now, when Mr.. RICE has, after
more than three months absence, actually re-
turned. pretend to be so ignorant in regard
TO his success in his great undertaking, Is
decidedly cool.
Now We insist that Mr.. RICE has got the
money, even though the Times is not in
formed He said some three months age
that he had already secured it, and we
are bound to believe him, and the Times must
be trying TO get off a joke, when it says it is
not informed" for we all know that it was
informed by Mr.. RICE himself, which
information it published to the world.
No YOU don't Mr.. Times; no you don't
Mr.. RICE. You have got the money and the
people know it, for they believed what Mr..
RICE said; and we insist that the work shall
now be simultaneously commenced at Still
water. St. Paul and st. Anthony" None Of
you're trying to throw off" on US in that
way. The laboring Irishmen of st. Paul,
who voted six times apiece for the loan must
be employed; and since the Common Coun-
Gil of the city have wisely "shut down" on
any more improvements, this duty becomes
more necessary.
Now, Mr.. RICE, employ these poor labor
ers as you promised and as you ought, and
pay them out Of the money which you Sc
cured" and please to ''inform" the Times in
regard TO the matter.

A Dublin letter says 1.-THE family of a
much respected dignity, high in the church,
and long resident of the ne,ghborhood of
Nottinghill, has been thrown into deep dis
tress through the elopement of the youngest
daughter with an inferior domestic. The
bride is only recently of age but entitled to a
fortune of $4,000, bequeathed to her by her
grandmother, the whole of which is the pro-
perty of her husband, whose duty, one little
week age, was to open the door and let down
the steps of tn carriage. He can now con-
jointly occupy with his former mistress"

SoNs OF MALTA.-The revival of this an
cient order in the United States, says the
Times, and the formation of Lodge in the
City of St. Paul, have been completely sue
cessful. The charm of congenial association
for the perpetuation in our times of some of
the nOblest and most romantic virtues that
graced the Age of Chivalry, added to the
chaste and imposing rites of initiation, are
potent over the minds Of all, and we are not
surprised to learn that the portal of the
M'Dewacanton Lodge is thronged with can
didates for admission.
In Europe this order is hailed as one of the
Democratic features of the age, and prince
and peasant and parvenu, within its sacred
precincts, have met upon common recogni-
ton of the universal brotherhood. The Off
ces have been dgnifed by men of the noblest
ancestry and the highest cultivation.
In England, the Office of Grand Comman-
der is held by His Royal Highness the Duke
of Cambridge and Prince Albert condescends
to perform the no less arduous and import
ant duties of G. r. j. A. In the United
States, Mr.. Breckenridge, the Vice President,
is Grand Commander, and Hon. s. A. Dou-
glas, G. R. j. A.
For the accomplishment of good work, it
is of little consequence by what names the
associations of individuals may be known, if
the grand purpose is ever kept in view, and
we extend to all organizations of brother
hood and charity, the right hand of fellow
ship"

The New ORLEANS OPERA TRouPE.-H.
Van Lew, manager of the Peoples Theatre,
is making arrangements to secure the New
Orleans Opera Troupe, we'll known Ope-
ratio Company, consisting of thirty-nine per-
sons to play here for six nights. To effect
the engagement, he is endeavoring to raise
$1,000 re-payable in tickets, in small sub
scriptions. We noticed on his list a number
OF names OF our first business men and citi-
zens who have subscribed to this ENTERPRISE
quite literally, and we therefore feel confident
of Mr.. Van Liew's success. If he succeeds.
the Troupe will open here about the 2lst of
next month.

DISTRESSING CASUALTY Two YOUNG
MEN DRowNED.-On Sunday evening, about
81 o'clock, two young men, named Charles
Knepner, and John Thomas, both Germans,
went in bathing at the foot OF Chestnut Street,
Upper Levee. From some cause, probably
ignorance of the art of swimming, they had
been in but few minutes, when both went
out beyond reasonable distance, and though
they called for help, were drowned in the
strong deep current so we'll known to prac-
ticed swimmers there. Some say, however,
that Knepner, who was mere boy, went
under first, and on coming up, called for help,
when Thomas, who was much attached to
him and is good swimmer, went to his help,
but was, too, sucked down by the current, or
entangled by his friends frantic struggles and
so both found watery grave. Thomas was
an educated and intelligent young man, speak
ing four languages fluently, and had resided
in St. Paul several years. Their friends were
searching for the bodies all day yesterday,
but without success. They both BEARDED at
tho National House.

ANOTHER CHURcH.-We learn from the
Pioneer that the members of the newly es
tablished Congregational Church, in this city,
have purchased a lot from j. II. Huganin,
Esq, situated at the corner of Ninth and
Robert streets, for the purpose of erecting a
suitable edifice thereon, and that steps are
now being taken to raise sufficient sum to
commence the building, and push it forward
to an early completion.

A new counterfeit, we'll calculated to de-
ceive, has been got up on the State Bank of
Ohio. 1t is of the denomination of $40, and
1t is said that even at homo the bankers are
hardly able to distinguish them. Such being
the case, it will be wise for outsiders to be
very careful what tens they take on this
bank. The bills were quite freely circulated
In Cincinnati on Monday and Tuesday last

tent Judges to be the best executed and most
