The .SeefieId Failure.

WINoNA, Mimi, Jan. 1a.-Estimates from
well informed sources say that the amount
involved in the Seefeld failure at st. Charles
is likely to run up to $500, 900. His mills,
elevators and other property involved in a
deal are valued at 5000 900. e. p, Bacon, of
Milwaukee, and j. Roscnbaum, of Chicago,
prominent grain men, were here last night
Ell route to st. Charles. An attach.
ment in favor of Foss. Strong e. Co.,
of Chicago, for $3.50 was issued
this morning. The talk of the street
Is that Rosen baum, of Chicago, is caught for
an mount variously estimated from 10000
verify this. The rumor that Seefield skipped
to Manitoba is discredited by some business
acquaintances, who express a belief that he
will show up after the first furry is over. 1t
Is said that Seefeld transferred his two -four
mills to Rosenbaum some weeks ago, and
that the elevator at Utica was turned over TO
the Bank of st. Charles.

The Police Commission.

The board of fire and police commissioners
met last night, and after routine business
listened to the report handed in by Chief
Galligan, of the fire department. He said
that at present the brigade consisted of fifty
in good shape all around, with the exception
of the hose, which was not what it should be.
Some of it was not fit for use, and in case of
a large fire it might be found wanting.
Then CHIEF Seavey gave an account of his
trip down east, and mentioned Chicago, St.
Paul. Minneapolis, Milwaukee and other
points of interest that he visited. He thought
the force in Omaha was equal to any of
Them, but in order to put it on a fair numer-
ical ~strengthlit should at least be composed
Of E0 men. Both reports were placed on
file, and the bbard adjourned.

Zalinski's Gun Tested.

New York, Jan. 19,-The test of Captain
f. |. Zalinski's pneumatic dynamite gun,
made this afternoon at Fort Lafayette, in
the hardor, was very satisfactory. Only
two shots were fired, one u t~wo-hundred
pound shell and the other of
500 pounds, charged with No. /
dynamite, and each was discharged at a
point the size of a vessels deck, marked by
buoys, at a distance of one mile. The alb
sence of an object made it impossible to
demonstrate thoroughly the destructive
power of the shots, but it was said that
either of the bombs hurled to-day would
have destroyed any man.of-war ahoat. The
gun was of tifteen-inch calibre, and
each shot sent upward a body Of
water to a height of about three hundred
feet. Among those who witnessed the OK
pcriments were the naval board, who will
make a report on the tests, which were de-
signed to determine federal acceptance of the
the dynamite gun for the new fast war YES

judicial Warning to Trusts.

Louisville Courier Journal: In the
decision Of Judge Barrett we have a
warning which all OF the tariff-pam-
pered trust must heed. The articles
for the formation of the sugar trust
were drawn by IN eminent lawyer, and
while all the great trusts do not con
form stictly TO these articles, it Is still
true that II, On appeal to the court Of
last resort, the decision is against them,
an effective check will be imposed upon
the usurpatiOns Of the trusts, and their
power for widespread evil will be de-
stroyed.
The reason for the greater efficacy Of
the courts in such matters is found in
the fact tina most OF these evils arise
from special or class legislation.
Among the railroads we find extraor-
binary charters and privileges incon-
sistent with public welfare and contrary
to our constitutions. The worst evils
arise from oyerlegis.ation aud from the

JUMPED THE TRACK.
"A Fatal Accident on the Northwest
ern Road Near ElmwoOd, Mich,

ern Road Near ElmwoOd. Mich.
MARQUETTE, Mich, Jan. 19.-As the east
bound passenger train on the Northwestern
railroad neared Elmwood station this after
noon, one of the trucks under the rear coach
broke. throwing the coach off the
track. The derailed car ran five
car lengths, when it struck a
stump and was smashed to pieces,
killing or %injuring all the occupants. Lieu
tenant Governor James H.. Mcdonald, of
Michigan, his business partner, Cochrane, Of
Escanoba, and a man named futile, were
killed. Conductor Armstrong had Il leg
broken and h. p. Foster was seriously in
iured. A aumber of other passengers were
slightly injured.
1t seems that the car in turning over struck
a stump, which penetrated it between Lieu
tenant Governor Mcdonald and party, who
were playing a friendly game Of cards. Mr..
futile, who was seated to the rear IF the
table, was instantly killed, his neck being
broken. Mr.. Mcdonald was in the same
seat with him and his arm was torn out at
the shoulder and was found at least forty
feet from the body. He lived about one hour
and was conscious for Il few minutes.
Tn whole side of the car was torn out
by IA second stump, and it seems
miraculous that any escaped. Tho dead
were picked up and brought to Waters,
where they remain up to this writing. A
special train will convey the bodies of Nc
Donald and Cochrane TO Escanaba tonight,
where they reside. Tuttle will be taken to
his home in Cleveland, O. Mono of tho
Others were fatally injured.

political significance. They returned here

Buffalo horns reached the general to-day

A Boys Narrow Escape.

Yesterday afternoon a horse attached TO a
g%rocer's delivery sleigh ran away, starting
on F'arnaIh street above the court house.
The drIver,I a small boy, hung to the reins
until the corner of Douglas and Sixteenth
streets was reached, where the sleigh struck
a bump and he was thrown out. His feet
caught in tbelfsins and he was dragged a
half block before he became disentangled.
Those who Witnessed the accident expected
to see the poNdashed to pieces against the
wheels of passing vehicles, but he luckily es-
capped such'a fate, and as soon as disengaged
from the reins, jumped to his feet, threw
aside his oyercoat and started in pursuit Of
the runaway horse. The last seen of horse
and driver they were flying down Sixteenth
street.

If the public mind could be so en-
lightened as to insist on confining legis
lation to general laws, and to public
purposes, the difficulties which so often
embarrass us would not arise. One
Legislature is kept busy rectifying
the errors of its prcdeces-
sors. Unfortunately, instead of
repeating bad laws, the members
set about to amend them, thus strength
ening the hold capital and corporations
acquire on commerce and in politics.
In dealing with the railroads and
other corporations; in rectifying the
abuses of the tariff; in correcting the
abuses of our criminal laws, it will be
found best in the main, to repeal the
statutes which have given rise to so
many abuses, rather than to attempt to
rectify the abuses by new laws.
The following trusts are especially
concerned in the decision of Judge
Barrett:
American COttonStandard Oil Trust,
Seed Oil Trust, Tin Trust,
Central Iron Trust, Bcssemer Steel
Cartridge Trust, Trust,
Soap Trust, COrdage Trust,
Envelope Trust, Llnseed Oil Trust,
Salt Trust, Paper Bag Trust,
General Steel Trust, CrOckcry Trust,
Nail Trust, Plow Steel Trust.
Ilhc Trust, Coffee Trust,
Glass Trust, Lead Trust,
Spool Cotton Trust, Rubber Shoe Trust,
Spool Silk Trust.
Legislation against these combina-
tions would avail little, but if congress
should put all these articles on the free
list twelve months open competition
would free ms from the worst of these.
Limiting competition by IL prohibitive
tariff gives a bonus to the organizers of
trusts. Hence we say they are the crea-
lures of vicious legislation, and that the
best way to deal with them is to repeal
the act, which has warmed them into
life.

best results, the second finishing coat should
not be applied until at least eight months
have elapsed after putting on the first.
Accommodations principal rooms
and their closets, etc., are shown by the
plans given herewith. In addition, there is
cellar under the whole house and one
finished room in the attic, with space for
more rooms in the attic. AS the second
floor plan provides more closet room than
is usually required, it is suggested that the
three closets grouped in the center of the
house be omitted. The floor space thus &C
quired may be combined with the dressing
room, thus providing another bedroom,
which would be eight feet six inches by
fourteen feet in size.
