MERRIAM OUT OF THE RACE.
The Laboring Glasses Will Sup
port Scheffer, While the Ring
Will Back McGilI.

Brainerd News.
Never in the annals of Minnesota pol
tiles has such furore been raised by
the action Of any political leader as that
of Albert Scheffer in accepting the plat
form of the Farmers alliance and re-
ceiving it's pledge of undivided support.
This action, whatever the politicians
may say, has practically thrown Mer-
riam clean out of the race, and the fight
will now reduce to McGill and Scheffer.
McGill will retain the old working Or
CARNATIONS of the party, and Scheffer
will get his support largely from the
farming and laboring classes. We be-
lieve that the move has strengthened
McGilI in completely heading off Mer-
riam and throwing his entire strength
to the present governor. 1t looks at
present as if the triumvirate, Sabln,
Fletcher and Merriam, cannot succeed
with Albert Scheffer as an opponent,
and in order to defeat him must throw
their influence for McGill, thereby in
surfing his election. r.

The END is NOT YET.

Advices From the Mining Districts Show
No Indication of an Approaching Set
tlement---Employes of Individual Col
Heries Dissatisfi sfied---Strikers Being Re-
fused Credit---General Labor News.
READING, Feb. 1.-Advices from the
coal regions strengthen the belief that
there are no signs of the end Of the
strike. The miners show no signs Of
yielding, so far as the Reading corpora
tion is concerned, and the only indica-
tions of discomfort among them are
shown by those who are offered by the
operators of individual collieries the
wages demanded. A majority of this
class of miners are still ready to work,
believing that the advanced basis Of
wages is the only one involved, but they
are held in idleness by the influence of
the greater number Of miners who are
employed at the Reading company's
collieries and who are refused the ad-
vanced wages. The influence of the
railroad strikers also continues to be felt
in deterring the miners at individual
collieries from returning to work even at
the advanced basis. The railroad strik-
ers' objection to these miners working is
that whatever coal they mine must be
shipped over the Reading railroad.

WINNIPEG, Feb. mo through trains
have arrived on the Canadian Pacific
since Wednesday last A whole train
load of passengers are said to be blocked
up in the middle of the mountains,
and fears are entertained for their
safety, as the supply of provis-
ions are not very large. The Can
dian Pacific has stopped receiving
through wheat shipments, owing to the
blockade on the north shore of Lake Su-
perior. The latest reports from the
mountains indicate there has been great
loss Of life on the Canadian Pacific
owing to the snow slides. Passen-
gers coming on train from Cal
gary bring meager particulars of
the disaster. Strong chinook winds have
been prevailing the past week, and all
along the line from Donald to Glacier
snow has been coming down on the track
in tremendous quantities. Near Palliser
Station, B. c., several men were caught
in slide. Only one was dug out alive,
and he is so badly bruised and injured
that he is not expected to recover. The
mild weather has put an effectual stop to
all through Canadian Pacific trains, and
as the mountain streams are considerably
swollen it may be some time before
traffic is resumed.

Longest Balloon Voyage on Record.

Professor John Wise, a world famed
aeronaut, sailed through the air in July,
1859, from st. Louis, Mo-, to Henderson,
Jefferson county, n. Y.-a distance in q
straight line of S35 miles. He laid claim
to 1850 miles, by reason of the many
turns taken during the trip, which took
his balloon out of a direct course into
circles and curves. This voyage is the
longest recorded in balloon history.
The balloon was in the air over night
a period Of about twenty hours. Profes-
sor Wise tried more than once, but with
out success, to equal or exceed the famous
trip mentioned. Finally, a few years ago,
he left st. Louis in balloon ON long
trip for the last time. He has never been
heard from. \ reporter who went with
him was found dead some weeks later on
the shore of Lake Michigan. By reason
Of this and other disasters the suggestion
of q long air voyage gives rise in the pub
lie mind to q keen sense of the perils
which attend every attempt to stay in the
sky over night.-St. Nicholas.

THE HUDSON BAY RAILROAD.

Retain Possession of the Road Till the
Amounts Due Them are Paid Decided
Adversely to the Contractors---Reduc

WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 1.-The cele-
brated suit of Mann g. Holt versus The
Hudson Bay Railroad company was con-
cluded Monday. After building forty
miles of railway and only getting 1885,
600 in provincial debentures, which
were given to assist the enterprise, Sc
curity being taken therefor by the
Dominion government out of the land
grant, Mann & Holt, the contractors,
applied for an injunction to prevent the
company from trespassing on the road
and to declare them in possession of the
road until $184,0OO, still due the con-
tractors, was paid, and for which they
hold first preference bonds of the rail
way The old contractors sought to
hold the road under a certain clause in
the contract, but after long legal fight
Judge Killam delivered Judgment
dismissing the bill with costs and
declaring the railroad company posses
sors of the road. The case attracted
widespread attention. President Suth-
erland says he will now be able to 60 on
with the construction Of the road that
the legal difficulties have been re-
moved.

PUBLIC LAND Laws,
Bill Decided Upon to Take the Place OF
Those Now in Force.

Bill Decided Upon to Take the Place of
Those Now in Force. -
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The sub-com-
mittee of the house committee CO public
lands which has been considering the
various propositions to change the land
laws, has completed it's labors, and will
report to the full committee next Thurs
day. Resulting from its deliberations is
a bill in lieu OF all others on the subject,
entitled IA bill to secure to actual
settlers the public lands adapted to
agriculture, to protect the forests
on the public domain, and for other
purposes - The chief provisions are as
follows: All public lands are to be CLASH
fed as agricultural, timber, mineral,
desert and reserved. No timber land is
to be sold, but the timber growing upon
it may be sold to the highest bidder after
advertisement, in forty acre tracts, the
timber TO be removed within six years
from the date of sale. Mineral entries
may be made of the same land even after
the sale of timber, but cannot impair the
right of the purchaser of the timber
Timber land shall not be appraised at
less than $40 per acre. The president
may set apart any fruit lands as public
reservations.
All the laws allowing pre-emption of
public lands and the act entitled can act
to amend the act to encourage the growth
of timber on the Western prairies,'' and
all other laws in conflict with the pro-
visions of the present bill are repealed,
but all bona fide claims initiated before
its passage may be perfected. All laws
relating to bounty land warrants, college
and other land scrip remain in force.
The homestead law is amended so as to
allow heads of families and citizens of
legal age, or persons who have filed dec
larations of intentions to become such, to
enter quarter section or less of public
lands.

WORK OF OUTLAWS.

Inhuman Treatment of a Cattleman to

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Feb. lin the
Kimishi mountains, Indian territory, on
Saturday morning, five masked men
called at the house of Reuben William
son, wealthy cattle owner, seized and

Williamson to be shown where the
money was concealed. He was sup
posed to have about $40, 900 in the house.
The robbers then held Williamson's bare
hands on the hot stove. When William
son became unconscious his wife gave
them $500 and the certificate of deposit
for the balance of the money, which was
in Kansas City bank, after. which they
left. Williamson's injuries are supposed

AS BAD AS SIBERIA.
Train Robbers in Mexico Sentenced for
Life Servitude in the Mines.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. 1.--Advices from the
Mexican frontier say a very unusual
leniency is exhibited by the Mexican
authorities in regard to the fate Of the
Mapula train robbers, three of whom
Charles Small, Hutchinson and
Doc Hines-were caught and are
now in jail at chihuahua. They have
all confessed, and their share of the plum
der has been recovered. 1t was consid-
cred a foregone conclusion after their ar
rest that they would at once be shot, as
a recently-passed federal law requires,
but for some reason or other the death
penalty will not be inflicted, but they will
all be sentenced to hard labor for life.
Such a sentence is usually served out
in some mines belong to the government,
and the punishment is considered equal
in severity to that of the Russian mines
of Siberia. The reason for the leniency
shown in mitigating the death penalty to
imprisonment for life is because the cul-
prits are all Americans, with whom the
government did not wish to be too severe.

ready been subscribed on condition that
that town be selected. Their campaign

bad politics to compel them to go SO far
and at so great a cost.
