MlNNEsOTA's GROWTH.

There are some interesting comparisons
mu,ie to show how marvellous has been
Miuncsota's advance during the past ten
years and also the prominent position
which we now hold in tho United States.
In 1880 the state of California exceeded
the count for Minnesota by SO, 1000; in 1890
Minnesota comes to the front with $4,000
more people than the great state of Cali
forna. The latter state was admitted to
the Union about eight years before Min.
nesu,a was, aud contains about two and
ha,f times the area of Minnesota. And
vet. with all the wealth of its mines of
silver and gold, with Its great variety of
luxurious fruits. with its 800 miles of sea
coast and it's delightful climate it is rap.
idly losing in the race with the great
North Star state, because with all its
resources and attractions they are not
comparable to those of Minnesota. The
yai" in Minnesota, in round numbers. is
so. 600 greater than in Ohio; So. 600 greater
than in Michigan; $4,000 greater than
in Massachusetts,; 151 900 greater than IN
Wisconsin; 1S0,0O greater than in Cali
fnruia; $4,000 greater than in Georgia;
231 900 greater than IN Iowa, and 30S, 600
greater than in Indiana
Minnesota has a population substan-
TALLY equal to the total populations of
South Dakota, North Dakota, Montana,
Oregon and Washington. Notwithstand-
the extraordinary progress these states
have made in the last decade, and not
withstanding the fact that minnesota
has contributed large quota to the pop
ulauon of each Of them, yet the total
number of these five states exceeds the
number for Minnesota alone by little
less than four thousand.

REPRESENTATIVE MILLS is not only a
candidate for speaker of the next house
but he is also candidate for the United
States Senate, and his method of making
the latter fact known is somewhat
unique. In a newspaper interview he
stated that he had decided to retire from
public life after the close of the fifty
second congress, unless the legislature of
Texas should decide to elect him to the
United States Senate. If that is not an
original way of announcing ones candi-
dacv we never read of one.

A TEMPERANCE TALE.

Once mouse fell into beer vat, poor
thing. and cat passing by saw the strug-
Cling little creature. The mouse said to
the cat: "Help me out of my difficulty"
IF I do shall eat you. said the cat.
:Very well" replied the mouse; II would
rather be eaten by decent Cat than
drowned in such horrible mess Of stuff
as this" It was a sensible cat, and said:
Il certainly shall eat you, and you must
promise me on your word and honor that
I may do So" Very well. will give
you the promise" So the cat fished the
mouse out, and trusting to the promise,
she dropped it for an instant. The mouse
instantly darted away and crept into
hole in the corner where the cat could
not get him. "But dlln't you promise
me I might eat you?" said puss. "Yes,
I did," replied the mouse; ''but didn't
you know that when made that promise
was in liquor?"

Minnie NJ. Christie was yesterday. in

to the plaintiff.
The trial of the case of Annie Neale

STRIKING 1T RICH.
Southern California Oil Men Enjoying
Boom,


There is veritable boom in the busi-
ness of developing oil wells in Southern
California. Never before has there been
such an amount of work done, both by
corporations and individuals, as at
present.
Within the past few weeks the Occi-
dental company, of Santa Barbara,
struck forty barrel well of heavy oil,
near Summerland. The Sunset COM
pany, at Hopper cafion, have also bored
a twenty five barrel we'll at 230 feet, and
and are putting up rig to sink another.
The Union company is now at work
constructing a pipe line from Hopper
cafion to Buckhorn station on the South
ern Pacific.
Mr.. Hugh Waring has leased the
claims of Sutherland Hutton and J. B.
Lankershim at Hopper canon and will
commence boring in few days.
ID. G. Scofeld has gone to the Brea
canon on the property of Col. R. S.
Baker and will sink several wells there.
The organization of the Union Oil
company, while in the nature of trust,
it is thought will stimulate work. This
company is formed on the same plan as
the Standard Oil company, and in
cludes the Sespe company, the Hardi
son Stewart company, the Torrey Canon
company, the Ventura company, the
OHara company, and the Mission Trans
fer, Oil Refining and Transportation
company. 1t is capitalized at five mil
lion dollars, and promises to become a
prototype of the great Standard octopus.

THE RIGHT EsIGHH HIT KIND. KIND.
A MAGISTRATE WHO is NOT AFRAID
TO MAKE AN ARREST.
Armed Highway Robber and Lodges
Him in Jail.

George Biescar and John Voscoe left
Los Angeles some days ago with wagon
load of tinware, which they proposed to
peddle. On Thursday night they
camped at Lankershim, and Biescar,
on preparing to go to sleep, was much
surprised to have Voscoe present big
pistol at his head and demand his
money. Biescar being a man whose
discretion is great, handed over $112,
and his partner and the money disap-
peared in the darkness. Next morning
the despoiled man went to Justice Mar
shall of Burbank and swore out war
rant for his partner; this was issued,
and the constable started out on hunt
for the man. The judge meanwhile
went to the depot on his way to this
city, and told the story to the ticket
agent. The latter noticed stranger
hanging about, and jokingly said, point
ing to the latter, There's your man
now, judge"
The Judge looked at the man and sur
missed that he possibly was the fellow,
and after a few questions, becoming sat
isfied of his identity, placed him under
arrest. Voscoe showed fight, but the
judge, who has only one arm, and
though he knew his man had thirty
eight revolver in his pocket, picked up a
big chunk of coal and told the fellow to
get into the car or he would smash his
head. It was a case of nerve versus
brute strength, and nerve won; for Vos-
coe consented to get into the car. On
the way down the aisle the Judge saw
an axe.handle, and exchanged his lump
of coal for this impromptu club.
AS the cars rolled into the
city Voscoe again showed fight, and
the judge had sharp tussle to keep
him from escaping at San Fernando
street. He managed, however, with his
one arm to down the rascal and held
him till Officer O'Reagan came to his
aid, and Voscoe was safely landed in
the city prison. On his way up to the
station he confessed the whole matter,
and all the money, save forty-five cents,
which he had paid for his railroad
ticket, was found on his person.
Judge Marshall is deserving of the
greatest credit for his devotion to duty,
both as representative of the law and
as a good citizen. His prisoner was
armed, and in possession of all his ply
sicial powers, while the judge had but
one arm and no revolver. He did have
pluck, however, and that is worth a
whole lot of weapons.

and San Bernardino, met at the cham
Der of commerce, on Thursday, for the
purpose of adopting constitution and
selecting officers for the ensuing year.
G. N. Wilson, who has been untiring
in his efforts to further the bee industry
of this state, was chosen president by
acclamation. G. w. Brodbeck, of this
city, was elected secretary, and G. w.
Abbot, of Pasadena, treasurer, and Geo.

The finance committee is composed of
W. T. Kirk, Pasadena; 7. H. Hunt,
Redlands; E. Hart, Pasadena The
committee on programme, of A. B. Mel
E. Shattuck, Garvanza.
The enthusiasm and interest displayed
in the organization of this society speaks
well for the bee industry OF Southern
California. 1t has often been charged
to this state that it has but few progress
sive beekeepers, but the facts prove to
the contrary; nowhere in the United
States could there be such an assem-
blage OF verltabie Dee Kings" W1tHouo
attracting notice from all over the
country.
The constitution and bylaws adopted
by the association are very strong in
their purposes some of the provisions
are as follows:
The mutual protection of beekeepers
and advancement of their interests; to
secure fair transportation rates; to get
exact information as to the best markets
for honey to effectually enforce the laws
of this state as to foul brood among bees !;
that the assessed value of bees be uni
form, according to law; towork together
to obtain a more uniform price for
honey.
The success of this organization will
be looked to with great interest, as the
production OF honey iii this this state is Of
no small Importance, as is shown by the
fact that the crop Of the past season
amounted to over three million pounds.
