1t was very late and Mrs. J. G. Blaine
Jr. was very tired from day Of sight
seeing and added to'the fatigue of her
trip from Sioux Falls. but she chatted
long enough with the reporter to photo
graph her charming self OH that re-
portorial memory very distinctly. Item:
She is tall. Item: She looks younger
than one would suppose. Her crinkled
blonde hair was drawn into loose knot
back of her ears, and crowned with a
jaunty sailor hat, with flowers and gilt
and black trimmings. She tucked
her hands into the pockets of
a blue serge blazer as she
talked-a blazer opening over a stiff
pink shirt bosom, with the masculinity
of white four-in-hand subdued by a
gilt belt and a mink collar. From be-
meath her plain blue skirt peeped two
small, hlgh-heeled patent leather ties.
Mrs. Blaine has very pleasant voice
with mellow, English accent, and the
faintest suspicion of a lisp. She came
from Sioux Falls yesterday morning
with her cousin, Miss Neyins, of Phlla-
delrhia, and her brother, Richard New
ms Jr.. of Tacoma. Dick Nevins. as he
is Familiarity called, and Mrs. Blaine
have not met for three years, and
so they decided to run up to st.
Paul for a day. They came via Shell
<lon, where they had four hours to wait.
The whole party was in despair of ever
enduring four hours in that forlorn vii
lage, when Mrs. Blaine, on a tour of
discovery, ran across little inn with
piano, violin and guitar. An i'm
promptu concert helped to while the
hours away. The party, of course, like
st. Paul very much. The party returns
to Sioux Falls this evening. For" said
Mrs. Blaine, 81 am anxious to get back
to my baby again." And she held out
her hand with smile. The reportorial
hand performed like act, and was cor
daily shaken in the correct, high-iu-
the-air English fashion.

FIGHT OVER MINERAL LEASES
The st. Louis County Cases Trans
ferred Here for Trial.

The st. Louis County Cases Trans
ferred Here for Trial.
The trial of the action brought by The
Mountain Iron Company against Robert
Jamison has been transferred from Du-
luth TO st. Paul by consent of the par
ties. The suit is to secure possession
of sections 16 and rim st. Louis coun-
ty, located in what is known as the
Mesabi iron range. The Mountain Iron
company claims the right to the lands
by prior title under application made to
the state for grants of leases and by
reason of prospecting and expending
money in improvements to the amount
of over $1,000. 1t is alleged that the
state of Minnesota selected the lands
prior to 1888, through its land commits
sioner, as authorized by act of
act authorized the formation of the
state and the selection of government
lands in st. Louis county. On January,
1888, the land commisser filed list of
selections in the Duluth land office. and
these selections were approved by the
secretary of the interior of the United
States, and by him, March &c, 1891, GER
tilted so that the state became vested
with the title thereto. In the year 1889
Leonidas Merritt. K. ID. Chase, Alfred
Merritt, Mark ID. Flower and G. G. Mer-
rift, who were residents of the state,
filed applications for mineral leases of
the lands, rendered the S25 fee in each
case and demanded of Auditor w.
w. Braden, to make leases to them.
Auditor Braden then refused to make
the leases on the grounds that the
lands had not been patented to the state.
The several gentlemen, who flied the
applications, assigned their rights to the
Mountain Range Iron company and it
in turn to the Mountain Iron company.
This latter company, within year from
the first application by the gentleman
named, made application to the land
Office for a contract for the lands. Sew
eral times prior to April "a. 1891, the
plaintiff also made application to the
auditor for leases of the lands. At first
the state treasurer refused the $25 fee
for each application, but finally upon
order of State Auditor Bierman &C
cepted the sum April %. 1891. After
the lists of lands had been approved
and the entry fees paid to the
state treasurer, it is alleged
that, Robert Jamison prevailed upon
Auditor Bierman TO reject all applica-
tions of the plaintiffs assignes. and to
refuse to execute the leases. 1t is al
legged that A. Bierman. as land commits
sioner, then executed the leases for the
same lands to Robert Jamlson. The
plaintiff claims prior right TO the min
eral leases for the land in question, and

In reviewing the First regiment more
specifically, Gen. Bunker says:
''In the year that has passed this regi-
ment has maintained its position in the
national guard. The first places in or
der of merit in this command are, in my
Judgment, held by Companies A, d and
X. in the order named.
The commanding officers of COmpa-
MES b and l are entitled to great credit
for the work they have performed since
last inspection, as it is due to their I'M
firing efforts that those companies have
been maintained and brought to their
present very efficient condition"
Gen. Bunker noticed no special change
In the Second regiment since the last
previous inspection. The interest has
been well sustained except in the in
stances of Companies ( at Mankato and
II at Blue Earth City. The latter COM
pany'S rating was so bad the general
felt constrained to recommend its i'm
mediate muster out, and this being
done the regiment is left with but nine
companies. The first place in the regi-
nient is accorded B and Z.
In commenting upon the Third regi-
ment the following information is
given, together with severe criticism
Of Capt. Creigh, the Minneapolis veteran:
''Since the last inspection Companies
K, at OWatonna, and Ii, at Morristown,
have been mustered out of the service
and their places filled by the reserve
companies stationed at Spring Valley
and Luverne. l think that Companies
ID, A, L and B are entitled to the first
places in this regiment.
''Since my report of July %, 1890,
Company q has made some radical
al a in re inf nj
now admits to its ranks Sons of Veter-
and. AS consequence it is now near
ly full company of young men, and,
under competent commander, this
company could easily be made the lead
ing company in the regiment. In my
Judgment, Capt. Creigh is not an effic-
lent commander, and the good of the
company demands that he be relieved"
The report recites the fact that the
First battery of mounted troop is
a well-drilled company, but its equip
ment is shabby. The uniforms are
Id, and many of the men were un-
tidy at the inspection. The Second bat
terry, while fairly good company. is in
need of instruction and a new equip
ment throughout.
The encampment of the First regiment
it is recorded, was made more satisfac-
toIy IuiS year tuau IaSl, Dy Increased
attendance and increased interest, and
then compliments in this respect are
rendered the Second and Third regi-
ments.
The report criticises the manner of
guard-mounting, in the matter of in
spectioD by officers of the guard, because
the duty was inditferently performed,
Then Gen. Bunker alleges that there was
a great want of promptness in turning
out the guard on the approach of gem
eral or other officer entitled to that
courtesy.
The report also comprises whole
some lecture on the Importance of dis
cicline.

The Biologists Who Will Be St.
PauFs Guests This Week.
This morning President Gilbert, of
the st. Paul Academy of Science, ac-
companieG by Prof. Phelps, Hon. AL
bert Scheffer, Hon. c. F. Lienau and
City Treasurer Refs will go to Red
Wing to meet the members of the Inter-
national Society of Biologists, who are
making tour of the Northwest, Ell
route to the Yellowstone park. The
party is expected to arrive at the union
depot at about 10 O'clock in the fore
noon, where citizens will be in waiting,
under the auspices of the academy Of
science, for drive about the city and
to Fort Smelling. At the latter
point, and along the banks of
the Mississippi the biologists
will make scientific investigations,
especially concerning the theory that
at some remote time in the past ST.
Anthony's Falls were located there
about. These eminent scientists, IN
GLIDING nearly all the nationalities. will,
unfortunately, have but few brief
hours at the command of the local
savantS. They go from here to Mime

tanned. and then they will take up their
trip for the National park country,
where natures peeuliarities will chal-
lenge their admiration. The result of
their Investigations in this feature will
doubtless be of paramount interest to
the scientists of the nation.

And Forgery and Desertion Are

To the utter establishment of his

Der of unsuspecting victims. Edward j.
Cummings is deserter and forger.
He was clerk in the Office of Adjt. Gen.
Barber, of the department of Dakota.
Capt. Murray. acting adjutant gen.
eral at the army headqual tiers, relates
that
:. son Tuesday Cummings was granted
two hours leave of absence, but he
failed TO return. At first this breech
of discipline excited no special sur
prise. | merely ordered that he report
TO me when he came. His protracted
absence, however, prompted an in
sSDection of his accounts. 1t was
was discovered that several blank
checks had been distracted from Col.

successfully filled them out and used

i The captain further explained that
lCummingS was somewhat new in the
office, coming from Fort Custer, Mont,
l three years ago, where he was sergeant
major of the First cavalry.

One check for 1866 was passed up
on Louis ArDogast, q West Sew

he owed S1S. Arbogas, fearing some
thing was wrong, gave Cummings only
$50. asking him to call next day for the

ing the balance of $50 in cash. Cum

Through Which the Old German
Passed to the Court of Peace.
"lf the world displeases US, the door
is open. Come, let us CO." And the
world had gone against him. He was a
lonely old man, this Charles Reidell.
There was no one to whom he was first.
and all lis kinsmen were across the
ocean. The hOuse-the bare little
shabby cottage at 500 Waverly Place
was his home. He had built it, and
there he had lived ten, fifteen years,
he, lonely old man, and she, a lonely
old woman. Society might perhaps
have disapproved, but society is really
of very little Importance, and they
grew old together in the house he had
built on her land. He was a carpenter
then, with little property of his own.
He worked at his trade, and sang as he
hammered-sang pretty German songs.
She kept the house, and OH Sun
days they dressed themselves in
their neatest clothes, and went arm
in arm to church. The world was so
pleasant then, and he did not notice
the open door.
Last fall she died. Her cat walked
from room to room calling her pitifully.
The old man was all alone. There was
no one to whom he could tell his quaint
fancieS, no one to make home for him,
but he lived on in the little house. The
law said it was not his. The old woman
lett heirs. They claimed the house.
There was trouble for the old man. His
own property was mortgaged. and the
mortgage was due. He knew he would
be compelled to leave the house where
he had lived so long. He was tired and
lonely. Then he thought of the open
door.
Carbolic acid. 1t burned his lips. 1t
was molten fire in his throat. His agony
was frightful. He screamed and
writhed. A thousand devils played
nine-pins in his brain. One ter
rible convulsion wracked him.
His knees drew up. His eyes
were bursting fIom their sockets. His
finger nails cut into his palms. He was
dead All day and all night he lay in
his disordered room. Then came the
deputy sheriff to eject him from the
premises. An awful cold thing, dis
torted and hideous. lay across the bed
a suicides body. Curious people gaZed
at him IN his coffin, and wondered at
him. This afternoon the sod of the
court OF peace, as it is said in his native
tongue. will close over him. The door
was open. The world displeased him,
and he went.

THE LIBBY CASE.

Gov. merriam's Instructions Are
Very Full and Comprehensive.
The special committee appointed by
Gov. Merriam to inquire into the sanity
of Mrs. A. E. Libby. of Minneapolis,
will meet at the Rochester asylum next
Tuesday. Owing to the SUSPECT on
that the officials in charge of the Roch-
ester insane asylum are in collision in
her illegal retention, Gov. Merriam has
specially directed that this special COM
mission shall be clothed with full au-
th0rfty to send for persons and papers,
and that they shall inquire into the cul-
pabilIty of the officers either in the way
OF misconduct or neglect of duty.
There has been Il suspicion
for long time that the management of
the state lunacy institutions have been
very unlike CHsar's wife. above suspl-
cion, and this order will doubtless be
| greeted with appreciation by the public.
}; 1t is charged that Mrs. Libby was
committed to the st. Peter hospital
I from Hennepiu county without due
process of law. That is, that she was
? never arraigned before the judge of the
probate court, as the law requires in
/ such cases, and the governor directs
that this fact be also looked intosin

unfortunate inmate.
Mrs. Libby in her letter to Secretary
Hart, of the board of corrections and
!, charities, explained that she had writ
ten to Rev. 5. q. Smith John w. Willis
and other members of the board and
that she never received a reply. She
charges that the authorities at the hos
Dpital intercepted her letters, and DR..
Smiths explanation would seem to con-
firm her charge. He says he received
the letter from Mrs. Libby and that he
promptly answered it, promising to use
his influence to secure her justice. He
explains that his board has no jurisdic-
ton i'll the case, but at meeting of
the board he offered a resolution which
was adopted, calling the attention of
the trustees to Mrs. Libby's plants
and asking for an investigation. As a
result the lunacy commission ex-
amined her and pronounced her de-
mented.
DR.. Smith intimated that Mrs. Nor
thrup, whose liberty is still denied her
atthe st. Feter asylum, is deserving of
more sympathy than Mrs. LIBBY, be-
cause the latter has been adjudged sane
and deserving of liberty.
