POSTPONED UNTIL MARCH.
State Granted Further Time in
the Meade Case.

the Meade Case.
WAUPACA. Wis. Ny. 2S. The court
convened today for the purpose of try
ing the Meade murder case. Judge
Webb called the case and District
Attorney Guernsey stated that it was
the desire OH the part of the state
to continue tie case over the term.
j. V. Quarles, of Milwaukee, read affi-
davitS setting forth the fact that, as the
case now stands, he did not deem the
evidence in shape to warrant cOnVic-
ton, but they had new evidence avail
able that, with proper time, would I'M
dOubtedly make the case OH the part of
the state.
The books of the murdered banker
could not be found, although they had
dispatched a messenger to Michigan,
suppoSing them to be with Mr.. Lake, a
relative and late special administrator
of the state. 1t was afterwards learned
that the books were in this city. and
they were lead to believe in the posses
Sion of the defendants attorney. An
order was asked for to make the defend
ant produce the books.
Attorney Sanborn said it was a shame
to keep the defendant in suspense, that
the defense was ready and the state had
had lots of time and still they courted
delay. Judge Webb granted con-
tinuance until the March term. He re
fused to grant Bronson, Stout and
Prior separate trials. Mr.. Sanborn
made a motion for a change of venue on
the part of Bronson on account of local
prejudice. The Judge will render de-
ciSion in the morning.

THE SILVER CONFERENCE.

Immediate results of great practical
value must not be expected from the
silver conference at Brussels. 1t is
gathering for debate, not for action.
The representatives, moreover, speak
for themselves as individuals, rather
than for the countries whose credentials
they carry. Even if some union OF SEN
timent should in the end be arrived at,
the conference can do nothing more than
dissolve, leaving its members to take 10
their homes series of recommendations
for consideration by the legislatures OF
their respective nations. Whether any
thing will come of it all must be ad
Judged very doubtful. The Latin states
are favorable to & compact which VIII
lead to all increased use of silver, but
this has always been their attitude.
Germany and Austria have announced
that they Will not consent to any
change in their present monetary
systems. England is firmly we'd
ded to the single gold standard, ana II
she makes any concessions at all 1t VIII
be in order to improve the condition OF
India, where reigns the utmost financial
confusion growing out of the decline IN
silver'S value. The United States has
able spokesman at the gathering, but
the weight of their arguments is some
what discounted by the accusation OF
self-interest which is brought against
them. They claim to be voicing pre-
vailing popular sentiment OF this coun-
try in what they say, but their fellow
conferrees have inquired with some per-
tinancy whether this sentiment is not
based on the agitation of the mine
owners rather than on any Intelligent
public understanding of the question.
There really is good deal i'll the sug-
gestiOn. People in general do not care
very much about discussions concern
ing standards of value or the medium
Of exchange. When times are hard they
think that perhaps were money more
plentiful an improvement would follow;
but their ideas even on this point are OF
the VagueSt and most superficial char
acter. The annual output OF $50, 100000
from the mines of the silver belt is the
ultimate source of all our faith in bl-
metallism. Were it not for its owners
interest the Brussels conference might
adjourn sine Gle without attacking at all
the subject for which it was called to-
gether, and only a score or two of our
citizens here and there would notice or
remark upon it.

UNPLEASANT TRUTHS

From the editorial columns of the
Philadelphia Record we reproduce the
following:
According to ST. Paul dispatch, the dis
covery has just been made that the wheat
crop of Minnesota and the Dakotas is many
millions of bushels above all estimates.
This will be timely and legitimate cause
for thanksgiving by the breadwinners of the
country; and the farmers now know enough
not to hold their wheat for the sake of a
better market.
Yes, the farmers of Minnesota and
the Dakotas probably now know enough
not to hold their wheat in expectation
OF forcing the hand of the railroad and
elevator alliance. They know. or they
ought to know, by bitter experience,
that they are playing losing game
when they play against this greedy
combine, which has Just secured new

TO GET A HOSE CART.
The Sixth Ward Demands and
Will Receive Better Fire
Protection.
Commissioner Martin and Chief
jackson Favor Exchanging
Apparatus.

Chemical engines do effective work In
districts where the water mains are not
laid. but it is agreed in st. Paul that
water discountsa chemical ASIA fire eX-
tinguishing commodity. This was
probably the most interesting topic be-
fore the board of fire commissioners at
last nights meeting. 1t transplres that
the West side is now supplied with
Chemical No. 3, and there is a popular
desire to have the machine eX-
changed for hose cart with
complement of hose. The
fire board last evening considered the
result was that the practical end was
reached if they make the proper solu-
ton of the problem.
1t was resolved that the city council
be asked for authority to exchange
Chemical No. 3 for hose cart and
supply of hose for service in the Sixth
ward, but when the motion was made
by Mr.. Freeman that such action should
be taken. Mr.. PrendergaSt. in con
Servative vein, insisted that good and
sufficient reason should be advanced for
such process.
Paul Martin undertook an eXplana-
ton. lie said the water board has eX-
tended mains throughout the district OH
the West side protected by the chemical
engine, and now the pressure system in
vogue will afford more immediate pro-
lection against fire with hose equip
ment than with the chemical.
Chief jackson accentuated this
point, He cited little mod
ern history in subStantiation of

lated. st. Louis, he exclaimed. only
has one chemical engine for the reason
that the water works equipment rem
ders the use of such apparatus unnec-
essary, and places the same i'll second

dianapolis, however, entirely discarded
their chemicals, as have all the metrop-
oliSes of the East that are we'll fortified
with WaterworkS facilities.
"a hose cart" said he, twill put out
fire before chemical can be placed
on the grounds if there is pressure on
the mains. The hose cart is light and
runs easier, and is therefore quicker in
response to an alarm" The motion to
make the exchange prevailed.
w. p. Heminway applied for the right
to erect kindling nanufactOry at st.
Anthony Park, and the matter was re-
ferred to the chief to investigate and
report, and the contracts, hitherto men
toned in these columns. for the supply
of fuel and feed for the department were
confirmed.
The matter of the request of the water
board to extend the mains in Westnn-
ster street from Whitehall street to the
bridge was referred TO the committee on
machinery, and then the pay roll,
amounting to S14,799.S1, was fayorably
passed Upon.

Notice
As Sequel to a Summer Bargain
and a Winter Collec-

One of the leading American maga-
zines has been "writing up' the most
progressive cities of the country, in con-
Sideration of receiving enough sub
scribers to make it an object. In pur-
Suance of this plan there came to ST.
Paul in July last George E. Duggan,
representing tine magazine as travelling
Write-up man.
On his representations and under an
agreement that no money should be col
lected from subscribers until the APP
pearance of the matter in the magazine.
the chamber of commerce Endorsed the
scheme and Mr.. Duggan began the work
of canvassing. All went swimmingly
parently doing quite well, but 1t appears
that several weeks ago the magazine
and Mr.. Duggan dritted apart. Just
how or why no one knows, except so far
as is shown in the following telegram in
answer to one sent by Secretary Beck,
of the chamber of commerce:

Without saying a word of the changed
condition, or seeming to-care anything
about it, Mr.. Dugan is alleged to have
gone OH with mis- work, land it is asserted
further that he c0f1ected SIS from all
subscribers who were willing to pay.
Secretary Beck learned of this fact last
week aud at once took steps to stop the
collection. The result is given in the
above telegram, and yesterday the fol-
lowing notice was issued: oIrs
The public are hereby warned not to give
subscriptions to the North American Review
or pay any money to George E. Duggan, who

A FAST NATION.

This is a rapid age, and the Yankee
nation is the swiftest part of it.
This observation is intended In an en-
tlrely Legitimate and proper sense. We
are a fast people only in the relations
wherein speed is desirable and praise
worthy. We are we'll ahead of the rest
of the world in the march of progress
a march which has become, with us. a
rush, mad scramble. stampede. This
general rapidity of our pace is we'll illus
trated by the particular item of railway
transportation. We are the greatest
travellers in the world and we are al
ways in a hurry. The average
American will cheerfuily pay an
extra charge for fast time, even though
he be travelling merely to kill time.
Accordingly the chief aim of our rail
way mechanics and engineers is
speed rather than safety. Give us a
lightning schedule and we'll risk the
smash-ups. If decorations were en-
reggie for republics, which they aren't.
we would decorate with the grand order
OF acknowledgements the American
engineer who sent his engine mile in
81 seconds the other day and broke the
worlds record. We receive with thrill
OF national qualification the recently
promulgated intelligence that this coun-
try has AIS per cent of the total rail-
way mileage of the world, and that this
AIS per cent exceeds by 1000 miles the
combined mileage of Europe, Asia and
Africa. And this i'll the face of the
fact that it is only few years back to
the time when Uncle Sam was obliged
to utilize the prairie schooner in in
specting his frontiers. If our gait i'm
proves in the future as 1t has IN these
past few years, old Father Time will
have to drop his scythe and hustle to
Keep from being run over.

SAY THEIR LOSS IS SMALL.
Liberty Bank Officials Say the
Robbers Only Got $1,000.

LIBERTY, Mo-. Nov. 28.-There are
conflicting reports as to the amount of
money secured by the Liberty bank
robbers. The officials of the bank as
sert that their loss is not more than 81.
600, but as only $4,000 were found in the
reserve vault when opened by experts
today, they fail TO account for the large
sum of money which they had on
hand at the close of business Sat
urday night, and it is believed that the
robbers made a large haul in spite of
the protest of tue bank officials. In adj
ditiOn to the money taken the bank lost
a large amount OF bonds and valuable
papers, destroyed in the explosion.
John Selan was arrested this after
noon in Kansas City as he alighted
from train at the union depot on the
charge Of being one of the bun glars.
He is bad character and is known to
have been in Liberty last Thursday.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2S.-The Off
cial vote of all the counties in Califor-
mia, with the exception of San Fran
cisco, give Harrison plurality of
6.422. The returns from all but
nine precincts in San Francisco
give Cleveland plurality in this city
and county of 6.l12, reducing Harri-
sons plurality. as far as the canvass
has been completed in the state
and county to 80. A number of If
Irregularities in the returns from the re-
manning precincts of this city may delay
the canvas for few days. The figures
given from outside counties are based
on the average vote given for Repub-
lican and Democratic electors. The
plurality is so narrow, and
in view of the fact that the vote for
electors varies, it is possible that when
the official vote has been completed,
upon Individual electors the electoral
vote will he divided between Harrison
