The gubernatorial vote of Minnesota
in 1883 reveals unmistakably how un
just and unreasonable is the present
legislative representations system
which gives to 5000 citizens in Fillmore
county one representative, and to 10000
in and about Duluth one representative.
While it is admitted by those who are
posted that the state census of 1885 was
padded for the sole purpose of securing
an unfair apportionment, it does
not disguise the fact that by the vote
cast in 1888 certain prominent and i'm
portant sections of the state are prac.
tically deprived of representation, while
others of less prominence and where
population has been Oh the wane have
more representation than in equity they
are entitled to. The following table

confession of Ella Schwartz. wife of the
brakeman now serving long sentence

Nichols, is made public to-day. Accord
ing to Mrs. Schwartz, her husband gave
her S13,500 of the stolen money,

up one at time and packing them in
cartridge shells. This money, it is
alleged, was subsequently, Oh an order
from Schwartz, turned over to Col. w.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 3.-There
is reason to believe that John E. Sulli-

not got out of the state, and the police
telegraphed in all
directions to-day in an effort
to effect his arrest. He is known to
have been at Michigan City yesterday,
but he left there before he could be ap-
pretended. All points that he could
possibly touch in escaping to Canada
have been telegraphed and he could
hardly have escaped arrest had he left
Michigan city for any point in the direc-
ton of Canada. 1t is, therefore, be-
Dieved that he returned here and may
be at his home in this city. The au-
thorities along the border, both in this
country and in Canada, have been fur

and he will be arrested if seen before
reaching Canada. Experts will begin a
