Gov. Nelson's Letter to William II.
Condor.
Some of the Eastern papers having
commented unfavorably upon the fail
ure of Gov. Nelson to be present at the
unwilling in Washington of the statue
of Gen. Shields, which took place last
Wednesday, the governor furnishes the
following copy of the letter he wrote in
reply to the invitation to be present, in
order to show that his failure was not
intentional:
Nov. Is, 1S93.-William H. Condor,
Esq, 1876 La Sale Street, Chicago, ILL.,
Dear Sir: l am in receipt of your favor
of the 10th. inviting me to attend the
unwilling of the statue of the late Gen.
James Shields at the capitol at Wash
ington, on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at 2 o..
M, and to participate in the ceremonies
connected Herewith. | am unable at
this moment to give you more definite
answer than this: If it is possible for
me to leave the state at that time | shall
try to attend, but cannot. at this early
day, tell with any certainty whether L
can get away or not. Yours truly,
KNUTE NELSON, Governor.

We do not intend to indorSe any ex-
cept articles of genuine merit; we
therefore take pleasure in recommend
ing to sufferers from piles in any form
prompt and permanent cure. The fol-
lowing letters speak for themselves:
Mrs. Mary c. Tyler, of Heppner, Or,
writes: One package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely cured me of piles, from
which have suffered for years, and /
have never had the slightest return of
them since.
Mr.. E. O'Brien, Rock Bluffs. Neb.,
says: The package of Pyramid Pile
Cure entirely removed every trace of
itching piles. | cannot thank you
enough for it.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is new, GER
tain, painless. cure for every form Of
piles. 1t is safe, sure and cheap. Any
druggist will get it for you if you ask
him.

AN ATTORNEYS STATEMENT.

Mr.. Jackson, eX-Gov. Pillsbury's at
torneY, makes this defense of his client:
''Some papers have commented Oh the
fact that the estimate on the auditors
books gave only 100000 feet of pine on
this section. while in fact there was
found to be something over 100000
feet; but lnaSmuch as the purchaser
was 10 pay SO much thousand for all
timber cut, and this had to be scaled by
the surveyor general, you will see that
there was no chance for injury to the
state in this regard.
"This is all care to say about the
matter, except that on the subject of
price the auditors records show that
some time before Mr.. Biermann's cleo
ton this timber had been appraised in
proper form by the state appraisers at
$1.75 per thousand. The price agreed
OH between the auditor and Mr.. Smith
was 81 per thousand. The testimony of
half a dozen of the principal lumber
men of Minneapolis as to the value of
logs in this market, and the cost of cut
ting, hauling and driving the same
from the land in question, would leave
a very narrow margin of profit under
the most favorable circumstances at the
price of 81 per thousand No sugges-
ton of fraud or any attempt at fraud
was made in the pleadingS or on the
trial, and none is suggested in the
courts opinion as reported l have not
seen certified copy of the opinion.
The case turns entirely on ques-
ton of technical legal construction, and
it would be unfair to the defendants to
allow any other Impression to get
abroad"

Slots.
The master horseshoers' union met
last night, and received a report from
Chicago that $50 delegates of the craft
met there OH Oct. 9, and adopted resolu-
lions regarding the care of apprentices,
so that hereafter the knowledge of
horseshoeing will be much improved.
The ASSOCIATION has standing
committee appointed on Nov. s. which
asked Superintendent Hoskins, of the
city railway company, to close the slots
not in use on the Seventh street line,
and OIL Selby avenue beyond Dale
street. The committee reported that
Mr.. Hoskins had agreed to have this
done. to save all horses from injury and
the company from all liabilities from
such injuries. The object of the COM
mittee i'll doing this is two-fold. viz, to
protect the city railway company from
possible damage suits and also to save
the horseshoers from the expense of
putting on safety calks on horseshoes.

Postmaster General Shuts Out a

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO. H., Dec. S.-By order of
the postal authorities at Washington
the following concerns doing business
at st. Paul and Minneapolis, among
many others, have been shat off from
the use of the United States mails upon
the ground that they have violated the
law relating to the use of the mails:
North American Bond Investment COM
pany, st. Paul; United States Invest
ment company, Bankers Investment
company, Capital Consul company and
Columbia Bond Investment company,
Minneapolis.
SECURED IN ST. PAUL.
Inquiry in St. Paul last evening de-
veloped the fact that the North Amer
lean Bond Investment company, of this
city, suspended business last July until
test case now pending in the federal
court at Chicago should be decided.
The postmaster general sent letter to
the company named in this city last
July stating that If the style of the bus
mess should be modified there would be
no violation of the law. The officers of
the company here then replied to the
postmaster general that there was no in
tention on their part to conflict with the
postoffice department. About that time
a case was begun in Denver, and also
one in Chicago. to test the legality of
the proceedings by the postoffice depart
ment to exclude the circulars of such
companies from the mails, and the COM
pany here will not resume active oper-
atoms until the case in Chicago has
settled the rights in the matter.

The RECORDS AT FAULT.
THEY SHOWED OILY 10000 FEET
or TIMBER.
BIExNEANN IMPOSED UPON.
Upon Records Made Before He
Entered the Office-These Rep
resented the Timber as Being
100000 Feet of Inferior Pine
-Pillsbury Should Explain.

So far as learned, John S. Pillsbury
has indicated no intention to explain
his connection with the pine land deal
in Mile Laos county. 1t is otherwise
with State Auditor Biermann. The
official said yesterday:
"The public is entitled to full eX-
PLANTATION of the whole transaction, and
shall give it as soon as l have care
fully read the decision of the court. l
am confident that all fair-minded peo-
pie will be convinced from the showing
shall make that my connection with
the transaction was not governed by
any desire to defraud the state. have
never seen the tract. but l am inclined
to believe that there was the number of
feet of timber on 1t found by the court;
but further than this have nothing to
say until | have read the courts de
cislon."
From another source 1t is understood
that Mr.. Biermann will show that the
records in his Office. which were made
before he became state auditor, give the
number of feet Of standing pine on the
tract in question at only 100000 feet,
and describe it as an inferior quality
of timber. The informant says that Mr..
Biermann has the means at hand to
clear his skirts entirely from blame.
1t may be easily seen how the state
auditor, having before him records
made by some predecessor, could be i'm
posed upon. The records grossly mis-
represented the amount of pine, also
the quality. 1t is not so easy to see
how the purchaser of the pine
could enter into the deal without
guilty knowledge. The state audi
tor has never seen the tract,
hence had nothing to rely upon for
knowledge of its value except the rec
ords, and he Is not by any means
chargeable with guilty knowledge. The
purchaser had made careful inspec-
ton of the timber before making the
purchase. 1t was certainly known to
Mr.. Pillsbury. or, at least, his partner,
G. A. Smith, that the firm was purchas-
ing 5.500.000 feet of first-class pine tim
Der, worth at least 81 a thousand, as
| being only 100000 feet of inferior pine,
| at one-half its value. 1t would seem to
be in order, since Mr.. Piisbury has
been a governor of the state, at present
is one of the regents of the state univer-
| sity, which institution is one of the ben
eficiaries of these lands, and is looked
up to as man of the highest personal
standing, that he should come to the
front with an explanation.

The city engineer makes report show
ing that surveys have been run from
Pleasant Lake to Taylor's Falls and st.
CrOiX river via Forest and Chisago
lakes, and from Forest lake to Rice
lake, and from Harwood creek to Big
Stone lake, to ascertain if this lake
could be connected with st. Paul's water
system, the result to be covered in sub
seQuent report. He details plans adopt
ed and recommended for improving the
situation at Baldwin lake, and considers
the subject OF enlarging the reservoir
area. He gives the rainfall of the past
year at 24.13 inches, $50 in April, upon
the heels of $40 during the four pre-
ceding months, largely in the form OF
snow. This, melted and mingled with
the waters of April, filled the lakes land
reservoirs to overfiowing, causing an
enormous waste of water: but he sees
no way 10 prevent another overflow.
He gives in detail the work of the
various pumps, and shows that the water
raised by single pound of coal runs
from 436 TO 629.92 gallons, and that the
cost under existing conditions to raise
100000 gallons OF water one foot is
.0S2916 cent.

Various means are resorted to for
keeplug apples until late in the spring
30 they will retain their freshness.
some fruit growers PACK them in 6ry
sand ia barrels placing about six
inches OF dry sand in the bottom, then
n layer OF apples ana so on until the
barrel is full, then head it up and bury
the barrels. The apples keep well
when packed IN this way, come out in
cood condition. but lose their flavor
after they are exposed to the air. An
other method is TO gather saw dust ana
kiln dry it, Eli a barrel with saw
dust and apples the same as with sand.
When packed in this way the apples
partake OF the WOOD flavor, especially
il pine saw dust is used and this
proves serious drawoa TO their
sale in the spring. The apples that
keep the best and give the best salts
faction are those put into barrels with
no filing whatever, the barrels headed
up and buried in DAY soil. This
method has much merit ana can oe
strongly recommended, The apples
keep their freshness ami flavor and DO
not bust as 40 those packed in sand.
None but good, sound fruit should be
selected. Baidwins. Greenings and
Russets prove the most satisfactory
keepers. Mrs. John GaillRrd, Erie
