For three or four days past the Intel

yarns about 'wiId man" down in the
lower part of Belmont county, the story
bearing the same ear marks which dis
tinguiShed the celebrated "Italian Drill

roaming around in quest of something
to eat. The organ grinder recaptured

The Question ola Judge Pro Tenn.

A number of members Of the bar are
discussing the advisability Of selecting
some one from among their number TO
occupy Judge Campbel'S seat, in Part
Two, during the coming session of the
Circuit Court. 1t is held that while
Judge Campbell may be well enough to
open Court, he would certainly not be
able nor would it be judicious for him
to undertake the tasks connected with Il
term, as the criminal business will fall
t. his share, including the disposition of
the pending motion in the Garrison
case.
Among the names mentioned are

ST. PAUL, MIMI, April % The Insurance.
department of Minnesota has declared open
war upon that of New York. and to-day In
surance Commissioner Smith threatened to
cancel the licenses of a large number of
New York companies doing business in
Minnesota. The whole trouble has arisen
from the action of the New York depart
ment in canceling the license of Mime
sofa company. Boiling with rage. Commits
sioner Smith this afternoon sent the follow
ing telegram to Albany;
Il demand that you revoke your cancella-
ton of the license of the st. Paul German
Insurance company to transact business in
New York state and reinstare said commit
tee forthwith, giving 1t thirty or sixty days
to replace any securities to which you object
upon technical grounds. These very secur-
tiles have been thoroughly Investigated by
this department., in conjunction with the
attorney general of this state, and have
been found absolutely good and available.
If your department refuses to comply with
this reasonable request by reinstating that
company this department will be forced by
public opinion to take similar action under
our retaliatory laws against several com-
panies of New York state now licensed to
transact business In Minnesota"
