A man proposes TO have ditch dug 100
Yards long. for the opening of which he Is
willing to pay 900 or 81 per yard.
For this purpose he employs two men,
but as the soil at one end is so much
harder than at the other he agrees to pay
ward. which would be at the rate of 81 per
yard average
The question is how many yards wonld
each dig to earn his $50? Yours.

40 yards; and if b digs yard for IS cents,
for his $50 he will dig as many yards as 70

O'Connor, the Alleged Mime
apolis Postal Thief Is
Placed on Trial.
No Evidence to Be Offered
by His Counsel in De-
Tense.

The great Weyerhauser timber syndi-
cate held meeting at the Merchants
lasting nearly all of yesterday. The
meeting was an executive one and
those present were: Frederick Weyer-
hauser, of st. Paul; ex-senator r. L..
Mccormick, of Hayward; Ed Rutledge,
of Chippewa Falls; Matthew Norton
and W. FL. Laird, of Winona; Capt. c.
+. Rogers. of Hayward, and William
Sauntry. of Saltwater. The object Ct
the meeting, as given out, was the mat
ter of putting in steam plant at the
Hayward mills. This change was
decided upon, but it was but a
small part of the business that
came before the meeting. For long
time this company has controlled vast
amount of the finest pine timber III
Northern Wisconsin, which is manu-
featured at Hayward and Chippewa
Falls, the mill at Hayward having a ca
pacity of $4,000 feet per day. But the
railroad facilities at both of these points
are limited, and at the meeting yester-
day proposition was considered which
contemplateS the building of line of
railroad from Chippewa Falls to Su-
perior by way of Haywood, thus giving
these two places direct route TO the
head of the lakes and inSuring lower rates
for the carrying of lumber. Chippewa
Falls is on the line of the Wisconsin
Central, which is now in the hands of
the Northern Pacific, and by the build
ing of this line the latter would have
direct line between Chicago and the
head of the great lakes. While none of
the members of the company would dis
cuss this matter. the fact that repre-
sentative of the Northern Pacific at
tended the meeting is evidence that
this company is behind this proposed

AFTER MANY DAYS.
The Alleged Minneapolis Postal
Robber Faces a jury.


John W. O'Connors, alias BILLY Con-
nors," is on trial in the United States
district court upon an Indictment charg-
ing him with being participant in rob-
bling the Minneapolis postoffice of $15,-
600 worth of postage stamps in 1885. At
a trial several years ago the jury dis
agreed and O'Connor escaped from the
Ramsey county Jail Feb. Is, 1883, in
company with two other prisoners.
The exit was made through a hole
sawed in the roof of the old Jail. O'Con-
nor. has since served term
n the penitentiary at Joliet,
III. He is rather progressing man.
of medium height, about thirtv-fye
years old. and wears a short auburn
beard. At the time of his former trial
here Bobby Adams turned against him
and admitted that they both participated
in the robbery. Adams served time for
his participation in the otfense. After
he was released, it is claimed, the gang
threatened Adams life for ''peaching''
Assistant United States District Attor-
ney Edgerton put a witness on the
stand yesterday to show that the gen.
eral belief is that Adams is dead, be-
cause he has not been seen in Chicago,
his former home. for over a year. EX-
Marshal Campbell, &. W. O'Leary and
Mrs. Fray were put on the stand to
prove that Adams had testified to
OConnor's being party to the robbery.
Louis Peterson, jailer for the past seven
years in Ramsey county, testified that
OConnor was in Jail July l, 1887, when
he was taken to Winona for trial, and
was brought back Sept. 8. July Is, 1888,
he, with two others. escaped. The gov
ernnlent having rested, j. McCafferty,
for the defense, moved for dismissal,
and also that the court instruct the jury
to find verdict of not guilty, on the
ground that the evidence was INSULT
cient and that nothing had been estab-
lished for introducing the testimony as
to Adams confession at the former
trlal. 1t was also claimed that sufficient
evidence had not been adduced to eS-
tablish the death of Adams.
The court temporarily overruled the
motion Of Judge McCafferty and stated
that he would consider the point when
the time for instructing the jury ar
rived.
The defense announced that no testi-
mony would be offered.
An adjournment was taken until this
morning, when the court will decide
upon the point raised by the defense.

Cleveland supporter. but Mr.. Cleveland,
with all his rugged bankbone. does not
approach MIR. Hill as a leader III his
party. HIPS policy is that of his party.
and he has never yet failed to record
the will of his party in the strictest
Jacksonian terms that lay in his power.
1t is that quality that has made Harri-
son such ready choice for renOmina-
ton with his party. Mr.. Hill can carry
New York, and he can be elected II
nominated. He is born political
leader"
A prs minent Missouri politician is
Col. X. j. Denham. He says taatAlis-
souri, will send solid Cleveland deiega-
ton to Chicago. 1t does not like his
silver views, but it does like his notions
on tariff. So far as Cleveland goes, the
Missouri Democracy is like the man who
married an ugly woman: II don't like
her looks any better than you do" he
explained 70 his mother, ''but | did not
marry her for looks; l nailed her be-
cause she's good housekeeper."
Cleveland'S mighty good presidential
housekeeper, and we W II put up with a
few antl-Silver notions. If Missouri
can't have Cleveland it will want man
from the West. Missouri is getting tired
OF being run by New York. So is the
entire West. If you all want to see
Democracy out our way, the good old
Tom Benton Democracy. dwlndle, peak
and pine, you want to keep getting your
orders from New York"
Hon. E. j. Lowe, of Birmingham, Ala,

ton to Chicago for Senator Hill, and
that while it Will be red-hot fight be-
tween Hill and Harrison, he believes
that Hill will win in November.

says Senator Vest, Il regard the name
OF Mr.. Flower as the strongest. | be-
lieve that Mr.. Flower can carry New
York state, and be elected" Senator
Vest expresses the sentiments of large
number of the Democrats in both houses
of congress. 1t is a singular fact, how
ever, that the Cleveland men are as en-
Enthusiastically devoted to the ex-presi-
dent as the Blaine Republicans are de-
voted to the brilliant son of Maine.
They will listen to no other name, and
some OF them declare that they would
rather be defeated than support any
other nominee. This, of course, is said
through excess of zeal, and al! Demo-
Gratis will support the national ticket.
One reason for the persistence of the
Cleveland men is the fact that Hill has
undertaken to run the affairs of the
party to suit himself, and to discipline
ali Cleveland men in advance. Just as
Blaine and Conkling separated and
fought each other to the death, Hill has
caused an apparent breach between
himself and the eX-president. There
fore, Democratic leaders are realizing
the fact that it will be wise to give I'D
the hope of nominating either one of
the distinguished New Workers. Gov.
Flowers name is being used oftenest
under the dome of the capitol: but
there is wholesome undercurrent in
favor of eX-Secretary Whitney, to whom
we are most indebted for the modern
navy which was able to make formid-
able demonstration towards Chilli, as
good presidential timber. He IS popular
in New York and throughout the coun-
try with the Democratic masses.
The Iowa Democrats here declare that
Gov. Boies is big enough man to run
at the head of the presidential ticket;
but there seems to be butlittle response
to their claims. At the same time, it is
almost universally conceded here that
Gov. Boies will receive the vice-presi-
dental nomination. Col. William r.
Morrison, of Illinois, is being consid-
cred, and even Gen. Palmer, who has
pronounced ambitions of his own, today
said: Col. Morrison is a good man.
His soldier record is excellent. His
service In congress was long and hon
orable. He was the first great fighter
for revenue reform. He is Democrat
and good man." Gen. John A. Logan
always spoke with great respect of Col.
Morrison, as one of the bravest and best
soldiers ever sent forth by Illinois.

NEW YORK. Feb. ia dispatch from
New Orleans says that at last the true
secret of the withdrawal of the Louis

ical struggle which has been raging for
many months is out. the lottery is to
go to Mexico. Arrangements to that
end have about been completed with
President Diaz, and the Fortress of

Louisiana lottery after 1898. While
the directors of the company have not
as yet held any meeting to consider the
propositions made by different cities in
other countries. it is known that Mr.
Morris favors the Oily of Mexico, and
that that practically settles the entire
matter.
