Filled with an Explosive.

Gpccldl W lue ulOU0.
ZUMBRoTA, Mimi, May. ia number of
boys playing in the lower part of this village
found an egg shaped iron ball tucked under
a sidewalk. 1t weighed nearly forty pounds
and was saken by them to Kleins blacksmith
shop and sold for old iron. There it lay for
some time, when one day some hands after
work were fooling with it and one of them bet
he could pick it up with one hand. In at
tempting the feat, the ball slipped from his
hand and, falling heavily on the ground, flew
open into two parts disclosing the fact that it
was hollow, but the interior contained box
locked tight. One of the boys picked the
lock with wire and opening it discovered
inside another ball, similar in appearance to
an explosive shell. The curiosity of the men
was now thoroughly aroused and they deter
mined to ferret out the secrets of the shell at
all hazards. Every one, however, feared to
open it, being fearful of an explosion.
Finally one of the men climbed on top of
house and dropped the shell, point downward,
on car wheel. 1t exploded with a loud de-
donation, bursting into countless number of
pieces, shattering the car wheel and tearing
up the ground. This conclusively proved
that the shell contained some very explosive
matter, but how it came where it was found or
where it came from or what the object of the
shells surrounding it was not known. Tine
affair has caused quite little excitement in
that portion of the village.

RED WING, May 19.-The Republican
county convention, which meets in this city
on June Ii, at2 p. m, will probably see some
very lively times before its business is ended.
Candidates are to be put in nomination for
county auditor, treasurer, register of deeds,
clerk of court, judge of probate, sheriff,
school superintendent, attorney, court COM
missioner, coroner, surveyor and FIVE county
commissioners, and the usual scramble will
be made for these Offices. The Chandler gang,
headed by M. S. Chandler, who were so badly
defeated few years ago, are said to have
again united their scattered forces and will
make another attempt to carry the conven-
ton by storm. If they succeed most of the
present incumbents will probably be ousted,
but the latter are certainly not allowing the
grass to grow under their feet. The result
will probably be hot fight, probable victory
for the clique or split in the Republican ranks
and hot time generally. This means good
chance of victory for the Democrats if they
nominate honorable men, as they always
have done. Among the candidates for the
offices over which the biggest fight will come
are the following; Auditor, c. G. Webster,
the present incumbents, Carl Lien, e. H.
Druse; register of deeds, G. III. johnson, the
present one, ]. II. Webster; clerk of court,
Albert Johnson, J. @. Halves; sheriff, Jacob
Westby, r. f. Anderson; treasurer, d. B.
Scoheld, the only one thus far mentioned.
Hans johnson, clerk of court, it is said, will
decline denomination.

A Valuable Copper and Silver Find

silver and Copper Find.

A company has been incorporated by
Messrs. H. U. Hetting and John Bulow of St.
Croix Falls, and several st. Paul capitalists,
with S150,000 capital, for mining in Polk
county. Last March, while cutting ties in
Polk county, Hetting struck a fine specimen
of copper. He made investig alton and found
several other specimens. He told Bulow of
the fact, and they decided to keep the matter
to themselves in order to procure the land
cheap. Some weeks ago they purchased q
mining permit of q large tract of land, with the
expectancy of organizing a company and
prospecting, About ten days ago company
was organized. st. Paul furnishing about two
thirds of the capital, and force of twelve or
fifteen men are now at work prospecting.
Already about fifteen tons of copper, bearing
rock and silver ore, has been dug out and
piled up, some of which contains large guam
titles of copper and silver. A St. Paul chem
ist, who is ON the grounds with the men, has
made an assay Of some of the specimens,
which he pronounces very rich. One piece OF
silver ore weighing about two ounces proved
TO contain 30 per cent of pure silver, which
is worth about 81. The gentlemen interested
are very much excited over the finds, and
feel sure that they have struck bonanza.
The further down they go the richer the rock
appears to be. They will sink the shafts quite
deep, in order to ascertain just how much the
rock contains, and if it continues to hold out,
machinery will be purchased and put
on the grounds and extensive smelt-
ing works established, and operations be-
gun in earnest. The permits purchased
include several hundred acres, and were
obtained from five or six farmers, whose
names could not be ascertained, at very
reasonable consideration. The owners of the
land are also somewhat excited and regret
that they have never discovered any valuable
specimens of silver or copper. The lands are
located near East lake in Polk county, Wis.,
and are not over five miles from st. Croix
Falls and only thirty-four miles from Still
water. The company organized to prospect
is composed entirely of well known and influ-
entail Swedish citizens of St. Paul and St.
Croix Falls. The chemist on the grounds is
also Swede. Already several parties have
made handsome offers for the land.

George P. Ward was convicted of unlawful

two of whom received their due yesterday.
The United States grand jury, after two

convicted twenty-five Mormons in fifteen

expiring i'll July. He has been the MAIN

ton and are doing fine work for the law and

Some of the papers have passed severe
criticism upon the operations of S. B. Beyans
the special agent of the government IN the
Watertown land district. 1t is probable that
injustice has been done him. The Pierre
Signal is familiar with his operations, and
says: He is making things lively for fraud
ulent claimants all over the country. He
feels friendly toward those who through ina
bility or through lack of knowledge fail to
comply with the laws, but those who wilfully
or fraudulently violate the laws he hasn't any
use for, and they will not be tolerated. He
says great deal OF the trouble arises from
the advice of incompetent lawyers and land
sharks and that the land difficulties will never
be satisfactory until the department insists
upon the rigid enforcement of the rules in re-
gard to the final examination of claimants
The Rapid City Journal, although leading
Republican organ in the south, does not take
much stock in the scheme to flood the doubt
full congressional districts with the orators of
the Campbell following. 1t says: There have
been many plans proposed fer ''coinpelling''
congress to divide and admit, but this is one
perhaps that takes the cake for originality
just fancy 200 of the chiefs of the division
movement scattered broadcast over the
country for the purpose of creating q politi-
cal revolution. When the plan proposed
shall have been adopted we would suggest
that Mr.. Campbell's field for missionary work
be Louisiana, which state seems to be hope
lessly Democratic, and where he has done
some very effective work heretofore.
Sheridan Jones, the superintendent of pub
lie instruction, and a leader in the division
movement, in his Joarnal. questions the right
of the constitutional convention to convene
after it had framed constitution and sub
mitted it to the people. Mr.. Jones says: s'If
it has such power it may proceed to exercise
it for years to come, and the people of Da-
kota have upon their hands perpetual con-
stitutional convention, with power to submit
propositions to the people at their will" Mr.
Jones is the superintendent of public instruc-
tions elect, under the alleged state also, and
is indebted to the Campbell faction for the
position. Still, he seems to have opinions of
his own.
