a lot worth 81 900 or more, while the four
principal prizes range in value from
81, 200 to $4,000. The advertisements
elsewhere published more fully sets forth
the scheme, its advantages, and describes
the property that is offered. All of
is we'll known in St. Paul, and to be
worth what its estimated value is stated,
even in these hard times. The general
appreciation Of its advantages e~inced in
the shares that have been sold is guaran-
tee of the statements which are made by
those that have the project in charge.
The cause to he benefited is one which
commends itself to the people of the
State and of St. Paul in particular-tho
founding Of an industrial school. To ae-
complish this, with no desire otherwise
the managers have undertaken in this
scheme to turn into money the real e.
tate that was largely secured by them
for mere song-almost donated by those
who had the good of the school at heart.
That the project is no more nor less than
plain business transaction is selfevi-
dent. 1t commends itself to every citi-
zen. Mr.. J. W. Fralick, the agent and
manager, is pushing the sale of the shares
with his rare energy, and can more fully
set forth the merits Of the project than
can be done in brief article of this char
aster. He may be found 1T the Savings
Bank Of St. Paul.

CATHOLIC INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL.
The Success Of the Real Estate Distri-
button Scheme.
Two Hundred and Sixty-five of the
Shares S0ld-.One Hundred and
TWenty-Efght Remain.

The scheme for the distribution of a
large amount Of real estate belonging to
the Catholic Industrial School, for the
benefit of that institution, has been pro-
crossing successfully, but quietly, since
first announced. and the promises made
that the drawing should take place on
the LIST of March will be fulfilled. OF
the three hundred and ninety-three shares
into which the selling value of the prop
erty has been divided, two hundred and
sixty-6ve shares have already been sold.
This leaves, still to be disposed of, be-
tween now and the LIST of March, one
hundred and twenty-eight shares. The
eighty Catholic societies composing the
Catholic Union have become deeply inter-
ested in the scheme, and the members
have and are purchasing goodly part of
he shares. Citizens who are we'll aware
of the value of the property, present and
prospective, have invested, and others
are preparing to do the same. The sue
cess of the scheme every way is assured.
The cost Of a share is $3.50, payment
of $500 being required before March LIST,
the remainder to be paid within one
year with interest at 10 per cent. The
amount is too great to afford all an op-
portnnity to invest, the poor as we'll as
the rich, and favorite plan is to COM
bine in clubs for the purchase OF a share

rare opportunities to secure valuable

souroee, we have also a mortgage
on these roads and lands for the better
| security of these bonds. In every mar.
ket where they were sold that was the
understanding. Whatswas the State do
| ing With the mortgages, else!
The whole story was told and ably dis
cusscd before the people, and they almost
| unanimously voted the bonds. When
the roads wore graded and the compa-
pies called for their bonds, some objec-
ton being intcrposed, Gov. Sibley re-
fused to issue them, and the parties went
to the Supreme Court, which directed
the Governor to issue them. He never
put his hand to them till your own Su-
preme Court decided it was his duty.
Grading more rapid was scarcely ever
done. Immigrants focked in from every.
where. The young State prospered in
an unprecedented degree, and the fame
of her prosperity reached everywhere.
The contractors had built many miles of
roadbed, when repudiating party sprang
up, and while the negotiations were pend
ing which would have secured the COM
p'etion Of the roads-in fact the writings
OF contract were already made under
which capitalists were to advance the
money needed to complete the roads in
ex change for the bonds-when there ap.
peared in paper in this city, a copy Of
which was sent to every bank in New
York, declaration that the
bonds would be repudiated. The
negotiations fell through the bonds were
discredited; the contractors could not 60
on; collapse Of State prosperity and ruin
of nearly AL Immediately concerned fol-
lowed.
Part Of the money for the roads was
furnished by the builders; part came an
other way. The State authorized bank
ing on these bonds. The people held the
money with WHICH the country was food
ed. Suddenly this collapsed and wider
spread loss and greater depreciation Of
the bonds followed.
Mr.. Drake continued the subject some
half hour longer, and the remainder of
his argument we will give in connection
with the further discussion of the matter
this afternoon
The entire afternoon, as was yesterday

ments of the counsel in the Box vs.. Drury
