EVE OF AN ERA,

way, there, for good times!
Clear the course OF business of all
cranks and sOrcheadS, crOakerS and
pessimistS. Let nothing be blue about
st. Paul but the blue skies that bend
over one of the most favored cities in
the Union.
St. Paul is on the eve-not of boom,
which the fates forbid-of a rapid re-
turn of fourishing times. the times of
six years ago, when everybody made
money, every body spent money and
everybody had money. There is not
merchant, dealer nor proprietor in st.
Paul but feels this, and the general
business situation IS frightening with
swift coming of spring. The mercantile
situation of the whole country is
growing better. the money markets
are easier, the crop prospects excellent,
and the general outlook brilliant. In
10 department Of business IS the i'm
proved state of affairs more apparent
than in that connected with real estate,
in buying. selling and loaning. Within
ten days new life has infused itself
into the traffic OF every real estate man,
and from the bluest they have changed
to the blithest men of st. Paul And
not without reason. There is a new and
pleasing demand for property in all
directions. Cash buyers have sprung
up ana the old time confidence is re-
stored. Everybody believes in st. Paul
and ST. Paul believes i'll itself. Stran-
gers are inqulring for houses to rent
and houses to buy. and the signs OF an
unusual activity are on every hand.

Prevalent Everywhere.
f. w. Farrar-FactS speak most
strongly. / have had more inquiries in
the past two months than in the two
years previous. Demand is the greater
barometer OF trade and money is the
register of its condition; therefore when
the demand is good and money pIenti-
full the situation is delightful. | don't
mean to say that such is the actual case,
but that the move in that direction is
very marked. The first element in the
Improvement IS the removal of all fear
of hostile legislation. The wires have
been kept hot by Eastern people to be
kept posted on interest and taxation
laws. and ROW that all danger from that
quarter IS past, money will certainly
pour in. We have reached the bottom
OF the depression and are already so far
on the up grade that we can see the bet
ter times beyond. New people are COM
ing in. New people want houses; thev
want 10 rent them and they want to buy
them: and there IS 10 better indication
i'll the world.
Fallihee & Snow-PeOple are begin
ming TO think. Their senses have come
back. They now realize that st. Paul
has put out sixty million dollars in
improvements in the past five years
and is that much better than it was five
years ago. CrOaking is contagious and
was INDUCED iii: now the situation is
changed and every word said is pre-
dieting good times. We don't expect a
boom and don't want one; but we
are confident that what are known as
good times are at hand, and will be more
and more apparent as spring opens up
We have large list of the best resi-
dence property Of st. Paul in Summit
park, Stinson's boulevard, Merriam
Park and all Midway additions, and the
demand is good. We are selling many
lots on monthly pay meuts. and on terms
to suit. Everybody can be his own
landlord ROW.
Smith K Taylor-We think, now that
our notorious legislature is about to ad-
Journ, that a feeling of greater con-
fidence viii be restored. Money for in
veStment IN real estate and mortgages
has been held i'll allegiance for the past
three months, and from this time on
ward viii undoubtedly circulate more
freely, and that fact alone will give au
impetus TO real estate. We anticipate
no Startling developments, but a stronger
market every week.

it cannot fail to excite general attention

for actual use, but it viii so increase
that there will follow healthy Specu-

real estate men to encourage manufact-

Bacon IL Coleman - The Eastern
money market keeps in such nice touch
with Our real estate that it is the best
criterion of Improvement. Eastern
money is now anxious to come West,
and it stimulates the home market won
derfully. Everything is Frightening
and the outlook Is very encouraging.

bUSnneil ~ Bushnell Summarize
the Situation Thoroughly.
William NJ. Bushnell, in answer to
questions touching the outlook for real
estate and investment, gave the follow
ing comprehensive reply:
| believe that our real estate market is
in healthier condition here to-day than
1t has been at any time within the past
four years; and, it would seem from
careful. examination of the situation
throughout the country, that if our own
citizens take advantage of the circum-
stances as they exist at this time. we can
have a very active movement of real
estace both business and suburban
property - during the next twelve
months.
In my opinion, the quickest and sur
est way to bring about this movement
is for our citizens who are largely in
terested here to exert all their influence
toward bringing investors to this city,
both by elsanal conversation of an as
surfing kind and by sending to people of
means throughout the entire country
whatever of authentic statistical infor-
nation they may have at hand or be
able to obtain.
Our own citizens lave become so
accustomed TO finding fault with the
improvements carried on and every
thing else that they have gotten into
chronic state of fault-finding. and when
people visit them from the East or write
to them they are very apt to begin with
and 20 over the whole statement of the
fancied difficulty of the school board in
getting their certificates of indebted
ness cashed; the difficulty of the city
in this way and in that way; the
high rate of taxation; the enormous
amount of assessments for local i'm
provements, the small number of sales.

No Laws Enacted

by the present legislature by which an
honest mans money can be confscated,
or in other ways hostile to the invest
ment of outside capital in our midst.
l think our papers should herald that
fact. and it cannot be too prominently
put before the public at large for the
next six months, to counteract in part
the evil effect which the agitation of
such matters has had upon the flow of
capital towards our country from the
East. Our chamber of commerce re-
ports. our State Agricultural society re-
ports, our State Board of Farmers In
stitute reports. and every other volume
of stau stical, official and authentic in
formation bearing upon this city and
state, should be looked up by our citi-
ZenS and sent by the earliest mail
possible to their friends throughout
the East. Give them facts and
truthful figures, and that will be ample,
sufficient argument to careful. cOnServ-
alive men that st. Paul and Minnesota
are golden fields for any branch of
business, or any calling in life where
the seeker is honest and enthusiastic
and energetic.
If any of our citizens who are dissat-
isfied with this city, and not willing to
speak cheerfully and pleasantly in re-
gard to our prospects, would spend a
short time in any other part of the coun-
try, they would come back thoroughly
imbued with the feeling that st. Paul is
the best place in the United States.

board. These persons place the fingers
lightly but firmly, without pressure,
upon the table 80 as 10 allow IL to move
easily and freely. 1t is said that in
from one to five minutes time the table
will commence to move across
the board at first slowly, then faster,
and will then be able TO talk or an

by touching the printed words or the
letters necessary to form words and sem

Arrested for Robbery.

Readers of the REGISTER will prob
ably remember that on September 3Oth.
last, John KrauS, Of New Philadelphia.
O., complained to the police that he had
been robbed during the previous night
OF gold watch and two gold rings, the
watch having been taken from his peck
ct and the rings from his fingers while
he was asleep in yard in the rear of a
saloon near the creek. KrauS had been
drinking, and dropped of to sleep about
four o'clock in the morning. Officer
Jack West took the case, and ascer-
tanned krauS had been la the company
of Ben Frazier. The latter was arrest
ed, but as no one saw him steal the
stuff, so far as was then known, and
Frazier kept his mouth shut, he had to
be released. Almost week ago the
police obtained what is considered dead
sure evidence against Frazier, and he
has been wanted since. Yesterday Of
ficer West picked him up, and he was
taken before Justice Davis, who COM
mitted him for a hearing at p. m. on
April 4th.

THAT $4,000 BOND.
IT MAY RESULT N GETTING JOHN MOONEY
IN GORB TROUBLE.
Ben. Frazier Arrested for Stealing Watch-RoeOtd
Of Fifty DOllars-TOok the Cash But Returned
lt-An Attempt at Rape

The Pittsburg police seem TO be slow.
They have just made the discovery
that John Mooney "is under arrest
in Wheeling"
As matter Of fact, Mooney was ar
rested by Chief Delbrugge and Officers
Carney and Lukens on the 10th inst,
and was taken to Ashtabula, o., at $40
last Monday morning.
Yesterday afternoon telegram was
sent out from Pittsburg, as follows;
ut is believed that one Of the t'reePort
bank burglars is under arrest at wheeling.
John Mooney, notorious burglar ana sale
cracker. was captured there with one OF
the stolen bonds in his possession. Mooney
is wanted in several States
Later in the day the Chronicle Tcle-
0rdph arrived, containing the following;
John Mooney is under arrest at Wheel
3He is notorious safe cracker" and
burglar, and is wanted all over the coun-
try: ~ ,,,,,oo.. -,
ceived word from Chief of Police Del
brugge that Mooney was under arrest and
that he had a $50 United States bond on his
person of July /, 1871
THE Inspector Immediately investigated
the matter and is satisfied that he is enc OF
the men who robbed the Freeport Bank OF
$40, 600, mostly in bonds. In the list OF ar
ticles stolen there are several bonds OF that
date, and as this man is an expert, II IS sup
posed he was implicated.
NNaa NHaaan
the country as very slick 'cracksman, -
and is considered a dangerous character,
and one who would attempt just such a
burglary as was committed at Freep0rt.
He is man about feet II inches, weight
1870 pounds, and is 2S years of age. He is
wanted at Ashtabula, Ohio, for the shoot
ing of Ohicer James +. Doran, on October
q, 1890 He was doing some work when
the officer discovered him, and was about
to arrest him, when he shot him Five
years ago, while trying to crack a safe
at Wellsburg Virginia, he was discovered
by an officer, and he shot the officer
Inspector McAleese states that the man
is wanted in almost every State in the
Union He says he is classed as a burglar,
thief and safe blower away above the
average Continuing the Inspector said (:
we will get further particulars in regard
to this man to-day. ! am satisfied that he
is the man we want Il we get him il will
be easy enough TO get his accomplices. OF
course, the crime is not fastened on him
yet, but | think otherpapers will be found
on him that will convict him Of the Free
port robbery "
As matter Of fact, all the crimes at
tributed to Mooney are the outcome OF
mere gueSs-wOrk. 1t is true that
Mooney is wanted in a great many
places, and equally true that he is a
crook Of high standing in the profess
sion, but it is doubtful il there is safe
case against him anywhere. Mooney is
very cute, and unless some one gives
him away" which is improbable. he is
reasonably safe. by the way, regarding
the ffty-dollar bond found on Mooney
by Chief Delbrugge, the Chief still
holds the promise to pay, and Moneys
counsel here have instituted suit to get
possession OF il.

On Account of the Coke strike.

The strike in the Connellsville coke
regions is causing suspension OF
operations all through the Ohio Valley
in industries which depend for their
supply OF coke upon the ConnellSville
| field. The latest mill 10 close down is
Benwood. The pudding department
closed last night, with the exception OF
eleven furnaces, which will work to-
day on castings. Material cannot be
secured on account OF the blast fur
uaces being banked. II is understood
that the Wheeling steel plant has only
small supply Of coke, and II they do
not secure more will be compelled to
suspend work soon.

Mr.. f. p. Jepson, President OF the
Second Branch OF Council, and cashier

catch il, from the west side OF the track,
but either missed his footing or his over
coat caught in some obstruction. AT
any event, he was swept from his feet
and was draggAa distance OF probably
two hundred feet before the
train could be stopped. Mr.. Alex.
