admitted and passed one the most
delightful hours of the twelve days

of this unique exhibit, was for a
number of years Art Director and
Collector Of Art for the Minneapo-
lis Exposition, the Florida Sub
Tropical, &C., &C., and no man in
America has a better knowledge
of what an amusement loving and
intelligent public require. He
spent vast amount Of money and
time, living out in rough noun
taineer fashion to gather the
exhibit that is shown here for Is
cents. The Cliff Dwellers are a
mythical race extinct from 1900 to
5000 years. Relics of their
villages and implements of use
are found in Colorado, Arizona,
New Mexico and Utah that show
them to have been a large, we'll
developed race with primitive
knowledge Of agriculture and
architecture. Their homes were
strongly built and almost impreg-
nable. Relics show that they
raised wild cotton and wove it and
made garments of this together
with feathers, skins of animals
and hair. In the museum are
specimens of their pottery, stone
knives and spoons, bone needles,
yucca fiber, bows and arrows,
baby boards, ornaments, and
wonderful as it seems, petrihed

An investigation is being made INTO
the way in which some county commits
sioners are loaning school money in VIC
lation Of instructions and statutory limi-
tations. The latter provide that not
more than one-half the assessed yalua-
ton shall be loaEed, nor to exceed $500
10 any case, and yet the school land Of
fee reports one instance in which $1,000
was loaned on an assessed valuation OF
5000. The state officials are after such
lax commissioners, and AS counties are
security for all such monies loaned, the
state will not lose anything, but it be-
ome a very important matter that
counties secure themselves by requiring
county commissioners to give bonds to
keep within the law in such cases.

that the attorney general will institute

The World from New Orleans says:
James M. Bowling. cashier of the
United States mint in this city, who
has been prominently identified with
the commercial and political history of
New Orleans for years, will have TO ex-
plain a serious charge to be pre-
ferred by government officials. A fire
occurred in one of the mint vaults three
weeks ago. The officials Of the mint
could not account for it. Cashier
Bowling was the only person who had
the key to the vault and knew the COM
bination of the inner door. At
the time of the fire there was
s 1000. coo in gold and silver and SIS. 900
in greenbacks in the vanlt. The green
backs were in a box and the fire started
among the bills. Cashier Bowling said
that an oil lamp had been misplaced
from it's socket by an explosion of an
in~candescent globs IN the vault and had
fallen into the tin box. The govern
ment experts were sent from Washing

The Minnesota Supreme Court Hands
Down a Decision In the BONN
Cases.
In which the Lower Court Restrained
the Northwestern Lumbermen's
Association
From Boycotting the BONN Manufac
turing Company-LoWer Court
Reversed.

ST. PAUL, July 2l.-Judge Mitchell OF
the supreme court has handed down
four decisions. the most important of
which is that of the Bohn Manufactur.
ing company. respondent. vs. W. @.
Hollis, ct al, appellants. This is the
old case OF the BONN company against
the Northwestern Lumbermen's associ.
alton. and the supreme court reverses
the order of the lower court refusing to
dissolve the injunction obtained by the
Bohns, restraining Secretary Hollis Of
the association from notifying the
members according to the bylaws of the
association that the Bohn company had
violated the rules by selling directly to
contractors and consumers in towns
where members of the association were
doing business, and had afterwards
failed to pay over to the association 10
per cent of these sales as required by
the rules.
The supreme court holds that any
man, unless under contract obligation
or unless his employment charges him
with some public duty, has q right to
refuse to work for, or deal with. any
man or class of men he sees fit. and this
right, which one man may exercise
singly, any number of men may exer-
else jointly. The sending out of the
notices referred to by Hollis is held not
actionabls and as affording no ground
for an injunction.
In his opinion, which is quite long,
Judge Mitchell reviews the history of
the case and then says that it presents
one phase of a subject which is likely
to be one of the most important and
difficult which will confront the courts
during the next quarter of a century.

l. meeting Of the Greenback Alliance
of North Dakota has decided upon a
concerted movement with Minnesota
farmers TO reduce prlce of harvest wages
this year to correspond with the price of
grain. When wheat was worth from IS
cents to 81 per bushel, farmers were pay
ing for harvest hands from 81 to $3.50
per day. Now wheat is worth less than
80 cents per bushel, a commensurate re-
ductiou in the price of labor, they claim,
should be insisted upon, Hitherto farm
ers have paid harvest hands about the
price Of three bushels of wheat per day,
and if this rule is conforned to this year
not more than Sl.25 to $3.50 per day
should be paid.
