TRUTH Is ENCOURAGING.
And 1t Is True the Teachers In

Assistant State Superintendent Kirk,
of the public instruction department.
yesterday reported that the fall series
of state teachers, institutes would close
to-day with the meetings at Glenwood
and st. Charles. There have, he re-
marked. been thirty-sevep institutes
held in as many different counties since
Aug. 26. 1t is usual to say of such
meetings that they have, been more sue
cessful than those held at any other
season, and fortunately this is true, and
the truth is encouraging. The people
and teachers both see more and more
clearly that it is necessary for teachers
to have some professional training,
either in normal schools or in the in
stitute. 1t is becoming more and more
difficult for the teachers who are not
trained in this way to find posi-
tiOns. The special features of the
Institutes this season have been temper

were prominently displayed and the
local G. A. r. took an active part in the
proceedings. Patriotic songs were also
rendered, and in the singing of the

LOCAL COMMENT.

The state revenue fund to-day IS
overdrawn by $14S, ,463, 800. This regret
able condition of the state finances is in
no wise due to the present administIa-
ton. and least of all its headpiece, Gov.
Merriam. While. from an opposition
stand point, there are questions relating
TO Gov. MeTriam's executive actions
which afford Legitimate fed for criti-
cism. is is only just to say his hnanclal
policy in the gubernatorial chair
Is of the soundest and most prac-
teal character. But for the deter
mined stand taken by him during
the session of the legislature. and the
wholesale and proper pruning which
took place IN the appropriations for
state institutions, the revenue fund to-
day would have been either Oyerdrawn
bV an additional 100000 OF the citizens
would be grinding under an additional
impost in the already overwhelmed
tax lew. By careful financieriDg the
Oyerdraft has been considerably reduced
from the enormous sum which il tOtaled
last wear. The reason for the over
drawing of this fund is 10 be found in
the reckless extravaganza of the
legislature of 1887, when money was ap-
priated right and left for state pur-
poses without the least regard to the
resources of the public treasury.

T.C. Jewett. of Sitka, Alaska, was
formerly resident of Mower county.
Minnesota. He WAS appointed CON-
missioner of Alaska during the Cleve-
land regime. He says:
''Sitka is an old Russian tOwn-once
with $500 pOpulatiOn and manufactures
and shipbuilding. Now it has not over
$50 white population, including Rus
sianS-and some of those somewhat
mixed-and about 1.000 natives. We
call the natives Indians, but they are as
distinct from the North American In
dian as the Caucasian and African.
I have seen much that leads
me to the conclusion that they
are the descendants from the pre-
historic race. the Mound Builders.
And the more ! see of them the more it
grows into belief. They are indus
trious, enterpFiSing and prOvident, and
fast improving and assimilating to the
manners and customs Of the whites.
Their ideas of marriage and divorce are
unique, requiring but little formal
ity or ceremony. When man thinks
about preparations for dying he selects
as his successor his best marriageabie
friend and turns his wife over to him in
lien of life insurance. A man in the
Fanehe--native village-with nothing
ailing him. got bent on dying of heart
disease, and selected his best man and
turned his wife, worth at least $3.50
over 10 him. He isn't dead yet, and
lives in the same house with them.
Lately Husband No. has come into the
family, and they are all living together
in her spacious, comfortable, well-fUr-
nished house, happy as laTks."

ADVICE TO ATTORNEYS.
Judge Flandrau Advises the
Young Legal Shoots.

Judge Flandrau delivered an inter-
esting talk last evening in the court
room of the city hall to an audience Of
young attorneys of St. Paul, who
evinced the deepest interest In the ut
terances of the speaker.
The study of the law, the lecturer
said, was like the study of language.
If man learned French, and after
wards undertook Spanish, he would find
his. French of infinite value to him; and
after he had learned Spanish and under
took other languages he would find
that each added language made the
next much easier to acquire. With the
study of law the same rule applied.
Each investigation Simplified the next.
He advised young students not to hur-
riedly rush into practice before they
knew what they we're about. The stu
dents were cautioned against relying on
the production of a decision by some
other Judge in parallel case to the one
they might be called upon to handle. 1t
was a bad practice. True enough,
precedent was good thing to have,
but it was best brought in at the
tail end of a good argument. Courts
were not infalllble nor all-wIse, and
precedent well shown and introduced at
tliC OlbCH aoolotCO OiiC SONL
Referring to the difficulties and tempta-
tiOns which strew the pathway of young
attorneys, the judge said that in his
opinion poverty was much more prom
iSing condition for young man than
affluence. Poverty made it apparent TO
him that he must struggle hard in order
to succeed-it was ''root hog, or
die," as it were. The youth
who began life with 100000
bank account was very liable to come
out at the tail end of the race, behind
the young man who faced the world
with only his poverty and his zeal to
recommend him. He advised the young
Sters in seeking location to either stay
right in the crowded cities and face the
struggle which was inevitable, or go to
the other extreme, go at once to the
frontier, the very outskirts of civilization,
and grow up with the country. There
was no middle course; either of the
two mentioned might and would lead to-
success if the right kind of stuff were in
the man. The speaker also referred to
the presence of shysters and sconndrels
in the profession, whose presence in the
ranks belittleS it. This was to be re-
gretted, and he wished to impress his
hearers that the first thing needfuI to
to the making of lawyer-a good law
yer-was brains; next to that integrity
was necessary. The lecture lasted an
hour, and was an able effort.

Ferdinand AuschitZ, German Ia
bOrer living at 395 Prescott avenue,
West side, disappeared from home
rather mysteriously Tuesday evening.
Having been suffering from asthma for
some time, he was easily annoyed.
Early in the day he quarreled with his
wife over some trlfing matrer, and
threatened suicide. AS the threat had
been made before. the wife let it pass
without serious thought. In the early
evening AuschitZ started out down the
river to gather bundle of driftwoOd
for fuel. He was never seen again In
life. The wife searched for him and
notified the police, but no trace of the
missing man could be gained until yes
terday. His dead body was found
dangling from the limb of willow tree
ON the bank of the river at a point
nearly opposite Pigs Eye. The start
ling discovery was made by August
Radae, a character of the town, well
known as .'Six- Fingered jack" who
pushed his way through the clump OF
willow trees and almost ran against the
swinging corpse. He promptly nOti-
fed Capt. Walsh, of the Dncas
street police station, who in turn nOti-
fed Deputy Coroner Lewis. Returning
to the river bank the party cut down
the body and moved the rem aims 70 the
West side morgue, where they were
identified by Mrs. AuschitZ. Coroner
Lewis decided that 1t was clear case
OF suicide. death having resulted from
strangulatiOn, and that no INQUEST was
necessary. A glance at the moose used
is convincing proof that the death was
in accordance with studied plans. 1t
was ingenieusly devised from heavy
tarred binding cord, smaller twine
being used TO splice the doubled end
forming the running knot. While the
case is apparently suicide. the police
are puzzled by a strange circumstance
connected with it. When the body was
cut down the officers looked around for
the unfortunate mans hat. They found,
it. and another one besides, The hat
lay at the base of the tree. on the op-
pOSite side. and was covered by black
Derby several sizes larger than the one
that Austbitz had worn. 1t Is, at least,
peculiar circumstance.

OWNERS MAY SELL
And Pay No Agents Commissions
Interesting Supreme Court

And Pay No Agents Commissions
.--lnteresting Supreme Court
Decision.
Five decisions were filed yesterday in
the supreme court. The judgment of
the lower court was reversed In the case
of George E. Dale, as administrator,
appellant, VS.. w. G. Sherwood & Co.,
respondent. The ecisiOn is one inter-
esting to real estate agents, for it de-
cideS that where an agency is commits
stoned to sell real estate (the exclusive
right not being given) the owner himself
has still right to make the sale inde-.
pendent OF the agent. He is not then
liable to the agent for commissions un-,
less the purchaser was originally pro-
cured by the agent. An exclusive
agency to sell merely prohibits the ap-
pointment of another agency for the
sale of the property, but does
not prevent the owner himself
from making sale.
Another order of the lower court Is
reversed in the case of HOxsie & Jag
gar. respondents. VS.. Empire Lumber
Company, appellant. The action alleged
in the complaint is the unlawful conver-,
sion by defendant In August, 1888, of a.

been cut in Pine county in 1878. The
jury rendered verdict Of S67g.72, and

now reverses that order. Other cases
