NO. 81.

Foraker and Colonel Boone know, and
they won't tell. The outside business
OF the company has been conducted on
a magnificent scale, their general Offices
were the largest and finest in the CITY.
no expense was spared in the furnish
ing of the rooms, and the adornment
of The grounds surrounding the building
was of the same costly character. The
lawn was wen KepJ-smooLn ana green
and clotted here and there with beds OF
, blooming flowers, while rare and varu.
able potted plants adorned the entrances
and lined the gravel walks. The play.
ing of marble fountain added beauty
and music to the scene. At night the
place was made brilliant by dozen
electric lights. The whole was well
calculated to create an impression that
wealth unlimited was at the command
of this corporation. .s
The salaries of the officers was in ac-
cord with their surroundings. Albert
E. Boone, as general manager of the en-
tire system, drew salary of
$50 DAY
And expenses, said expenses sometimes
amounting to $1,000 per month. Gideon
E. Meigs, as president of one of the pa
per roads, was content to take 81, 900 per
month. Colonel Cyrus Hawkins has a
portly presence and the air of million
aire, and for sitting on the platform at
railroad meetings and occasionally max.
ing few remarks in advocacy of the
scheme pending, he was allowed to draw
from the general Golfers a sum amount
ing to about 5000 per month. That is
what the foreign agent also got. Butnot
the least among the names on the pay
roll was that Of j. B. Foraker, who re-
ceived the neat salary of . ..
$400 MONTH, n "t1
Which is paid him for allowing his name
to be used to give credit to a scheme of
organized robbery. Had the enterprise
been legitimate one and conducted on
honest principles Governor Foraker
would have had no right to accept a sal
ary as its employe while performing the
duties of the Governor of the State.
But what can you say when the corpora
ton with which he is 80 closely identi-
fed and which pays him, or has paid
him nearly $1,000 year is corrupt and
rotten to the core, organized for the puT-
pose of
DEFRAUDING THE PEOPLE,
And Governor Foraker knew this, for he
says that he has had personal supervis-
ion of the business since July, 1886, and
had familiarized himself with what was
done before that time.
Colonel Boone is now in the east max
ing one last desperate effort to shoulder
the road off onto responsible parties be-
fore the November election. Boone and
Foraker would be willing to sacrifice ev3
cry thing in order to get the enterprise
foated, as it would give coloring to the
claim they would make that the schendd
had been legitimate one throughout,
As the New York capitalists have been
on to Boone and the Black Diamond for
a long while, it is not probable that
their efforts will prove successful

A New Order.

A new order has been formed which
is said to be extremely popular in pas
torial regions. 1t is called "Faith, Hope
and Charity" and its ritual is thus de-
scribed: "After the Lodge has assem-
bled, the young men are admitted sim
gly into the room where they find three
good looking young ladies standing be-
hind chairs. The gentleman is asked
which degree he wishes to take, and
upon deciding he is blindfolded and
placed in q chair and promptly and
aristocratically kissed. 1t is mighty
nice, and the men invaribly want all
the other degrees at once, and they are
promptly given in the same manner

they see one of their own sex step out

spirit for work and desire to accumu-
late in his young days enough to make
him at least comfortable In his declin-
ing years. With this spirit inculcated
he went to work in the wilderness and
in due time hewed himself out home,
clearing and cultivating the fertile soil,
until to-day he is recognized as one of
the most substantial and progressive
farmers Of Henry county. He is the
owner of many qcres and has q good
and comfortable home, where he is sur
rounded by his family enjoying the
benefits of his industry and hard labor.
So far / don't believe Mr.. Groll has
lost anything in comparison with Mr..
Frease. Now as for capability he is the
peer of Mr.. Frease, for he has been a
good guardian over his own financial
affairs, so of course will make watch
full servant over the responsibilities Of
the office he aspires to. His business
capacity is shown to be far superior to
that of his adversary, for he has been
dilligent and not sIoathful in his af-
fairs.
l would be the last man to cast stone
at Mr.. Frease, but when the Signal and
its ally sets him up as having superior
qualifications over Mr.. Groll, it lays
the gentleman wide open to investiga-
ton, and myself with others have taken
that privilege, and have come to the
conclusion as between the two men Mr..
Groll is the better man for the Treasur-
er's office, and as a citizen and tax
payer hope he will not only receive
the votes of his own party but many of
those of the opposite party, who wish
to see an honest and capable man fill
ing the position as Treasurer.

Mr.. VIM. Geyser certainly did not
have the interests of the people at heart
when he SO earnestly labored for the
defeat of the two cent mile bill. Itwas
a measure, which had it passed, would
have of great benefit to the people and
for these reasons the public rightfully
expected that Mr.. Geyser would be

RAGING FIRES.
A Seetktng Mass OF Flames Devourins the
Minnesota Forests.


DULUTH. Mimi, May A dense cloud
hangs over Duluth o.night and II seems to
be growing thicker. From neagre reports
from all surrounding country towns,
brought in by travellers and train men,
forest fires OF considerable magnitude and
OF dan gerous and destructive character
are raging in nearly all directions
from the city within radius OF fifty
miles and more, Cordwood piles. telegraph
poles, ties, etc., have been DESTROYED in
many different localities, and in many in
stances settlers houses and outbuild
have been burned. The fire seems TO be
the worst on the line OF the Duluth & Iron
Range, west to Thomson and south beyond
Barnum, and Oh the Northern Pacific as
far as Norman, twenty miles beyond the
Northern Pacific junction. There are re.
ports OF damage done settlements back Of
this city on the country roads.
Trains on the Northern Pacific this af-
ternoon passed through fires on either side
of the track from below Bsrnum, and IL
was so hot and the smoke so dense that the
one side of the track this side OF Barnum a
dwelling house was burning and on the
other side the tire was in the stables aud
outbuildings. The Northern Pacific tres
tle near Walbridge, Wis.,, on the Superior
line, was burned this morning. There has
been 30 little rain in this section this spring
that the country IL very ory and the woods
are an easy food for the flames. Unless
rain Jmes very soon there Is likely to be
very great damage. There IL little wind
but the fire shoots ahead through the dry
brush and wood at a terrific rate. NJ esti-
mate OF the damage can be given.

near the Arlington, he heard q shot fired
across the street near Dempsey's clothing
store. He rushed across, and as he did 30

wrenched the revolver out of his hands.
Captain Martin hearing the shots rushed
to The spot, and helped Smith escort the
prisoner to the oity Jail, while Policeman
McKernan took charge of another man
that was an eye witness to the scene.
At the city Jail the man who did the
shooting was seen by REVIEW reporter,
to whom he stated that his name was J ohm
Casten and that he had stepp up to q
knife rack on the corner of Howard and
Main streets, and had pitched twenty-five
cents worth OF rings at the knives; he
gave the man ia charge Of the rack u
IS gold piece and after waiting .short
time he asked for his change, but they
only laughed at him. He then looked
around for an officer and seeing none
said: ~ want my change. You cant
rob me in that way" They told him In
An aggravated way that he had no change
coming, and to go on. Wnen asked by
the reporter II he did any shooting, he
said he would not commit himself, but he
stated that he heard two shots fred.
Nothing further could be learned from
him in regard to the shooting. He said.
however, that after the shooting he saw
an officer to whom he stated he was
amenable to the law, and would accom-.
pany him, Mr.. Casten says he is in the
mining business in the Ceur d'Alenes.
and was in the city on mining busi-
ness.
John Hayes, the proprietor Of the knife
rack, states that he had left young fel-
low in charge of the knives for few min.
utes, and when he came back he heard this
man Casten talking about u S5 gold piece.
He asked the boy about the money, and
the boy said he had only received 25 cents
and e.nptled the contents OF his pockets,
but no gold piece was found. Casten
stepped away, and when he come back,
pulled pistol and fred oLe shot, with

be no one injured, but it is remarkable
that on such busy corner such reckless
shooting caused no serious results. Caster
