lion king with q record of BOTH, and breed
ers from many sections of the country were
among those who gathered early to deter
mine who's property the king should be.
The champion was shown q SCORE of times,
and the universal opinion was that he is
q horse of superb individuality, symmet-
neal proportions and q trotter worthy to
put at the top of the tree. Soon after 10
o'clock, while the noted stallion was being
moved about the ring. the bidding was
begun. It started off with $50. 900
offered, and went up slowly with jumps of
$500 and $1,000 until 1t reached $50. 900.
Then the bidding stopped for o while and
Stamboul was trotted around the ring
several times. Then there was q bid Of
$40. 900, and tn at WAS followed by the clos

offer Mr.. Hartman SIS. 600 over his bid. but
Iguess he would not part with STEAMBOAT

THE CANTON FAKE"
Archbishop Ireland Intimstes that the Mira

ST. PAUL, Mimi, Dec. 2O.-The investiga-
window was made partly at the request OF
Archbishop Ireland. The Archbishop af-
forded special facilities for such an inves-
tigation. The result has been to prove the

that the Assumption Church at Canton will
be closed. at least temporarily. Whom the
fact was stated to Archbishop Ireland that
during the last three lays there had been o
renewal of the special train service for
carrying PILGRIMS to Canton, tho Arch-
bishop uttered an expression of sorro W,

"You may say that no tine will be lost In
checking the pilRrlmagest"
When told that dozens OF pilgrims as
serted their ability TO see the face in the
window when it was invisible to other
eyes, the Archbishop remarked that these
facts eresanted a curious study. He char
acterized as absured the theory that the
picture on the wlndow was only visible 60

On the heels of the above, however. comes
the following from Canton: "Bishop Cat

TO SAVE THE MONSTROSITY
Will Ask for q Rehearing on a Thin Excuse

The skeleton of q plan to undo the good

itself in Democrats councils. The leaders
regret more than they bctray that they are
20 lose the merciIess. cut-throat advantage
of the gerrymander rack of 1891. They re-
alize that, with o fair apportioDment
and an equal divide of "frac-
tons of population. the State Will
soon be In Republican control. The
plan as outlined Is to ask for n rehearing
O few days before the expiration oil the
sixty-day rule. The court will then Dc
Democratic. and will be expected. as O
Niblack intimated in his argument In tho
case. to heed the party lash and grant the
rehearing. The eonspIrators Will tnen
argue upon the lines indicated In Judge
Elliott's separate opinion. which heid that
the relator, Powell, in seeking the ad-
vantage of the a-pportionment of 1873. lost
his standing in court. inasmncn as
this apportionment was held unconsti-
tutionsl. Thus. the relator having no
case, Judge Elliott did not think 1t the
duty of the court to pass upon the consti-
t~utionality of the act of 1881. Should the
court grant the rehearing. and take Judge
Elliott's view, the aDportionment OF 1891
would be left unattached n operative.
The eonsDirators cherish the hope that the
Republicans will by that time be so much
discouraged that they will not again as
sail the law. Pending the rehearing. If
granted, the Legislature will have met and
adjourned without having made an ap-
p~ortionment. The rights of citizens, the
provisions of the Constitution and com-
