FERGUS FALLS. Dec. 29.-The arrival
yesterday of DIR. Jones. Of Minneapolis,
one of the trustees of the Third Hospital
for the Insane, elected no particular
comment here, as it was given out by
the hospital authorities that it was
was Informed at the asylum this morn
Ing that DR.. Jones had been specially
requested by Gov Nelson to visit the
hospital on this occasion and make a
thorough physical and mental examine
ton of Mr.. Hoskins, the Henning edi-
tor who has recently made a lot of eX-
trayagant charges against the Fergus
Falls banks. His prompt commitment
to the asylum by the Fergus Falls Judge
OF probate gave rise 10 rumor that the
banks had had him railroaded. and it
was doubtless due to this cutlery that
Gov. Nelson requested DR.. Jones to
make the just finished examination of
the virulent edilor. After this eXami-
nation was completed Dr.. 6. o. WEIGH,
superintendent of the asylum, and Dr..
Jones came to town, and l met the
forme who. in reply to direct question
as to Hoskins' insanity, replied that
there was doubt of whether Hoskins
is insane. He is a crank, and probably
verging so close on actual dementia that
it would be hard to determine exactly
where the border line lies. This morn
ing | had occasion to visit the hospital,
and was Informed by one of the officials
that DR.. Jones' visit had been made at
Gov. Nelson's request; that DR.. Jones,
after thorough examination, had re-
ported to Gov. Nelson that Hoskins is
undoubtedly insane, and he, the loqua-
cious official. knew this to be the case,
as he had made a typewriter copy of
DR.. Jones' report. There was 'etate
menr from DR.. Welch in addition,
which accompanied DR.. Jones' report to
the governor. What this statement was
did not learn; but judging from what
DR.. Welch said to me yesterday after
noon take it that he did not go quite so
far as DR.. Jones in his views eff Hoskins'
condition. Hoskins Is reported as do
cile" by the asylum officials. He has
taken to his bed and remains there,
quiet and - eXpectant. Most people
here believe that, Notwithstanding hos
kins' generally cranky character. he
was but the catspaw of John H. Burke
in this latest escapade. This latter
worthy has an almost insane penchant
for litigation. His whole life is devoted
to exposing the peccadilloes of promi-
nent people, for the mere sake of
trouble. it would seem; for after fifteen
wears indulgence in this peculiar indus
try he is apparently as far from being
satisfied as he was when he begun his
career Of reform" in California in 1877.

WISCONSIN Lodges Kick.

NEW ULM. Mimi, Dec. 29.-The spe-
ciai assessment of the Sons of Hermann
was levied for the purpose of compler-
ing the statue of Hermann at this place.
The original tax of three cents per
capita had been raised to eight cents by
the national body. and later to thirteen
cents. The Wisconsin lodge objected
to the increased assessment on the
ground that as the Sons of Hermann
had more members in Wisconsin than
in any state the Wisconsin lodges would
have to pay $500 toward the erection
of monument in honor of an ancient
Teutonic chieftaiu sin an obscure town
of Minnesota" The monument is
about half completed. and it will rs-
auire about $4,000 to finish it.

CHAMBERLAIN, 5. D., Dec. 29.-Post-
master Stroube, whose life was at
tempted couple of weeks ago. as the
result of scandal which was brewing
some time, left town the second morn
ing after the attempt on his life, and
has not yet returned. 1t is the general
belief that he will never come back,
ard that he has gone to some place
where he is not known, and where he
will remain. Oliver McElroy, the man
who tried to kill Stroube, was arrested
on complaint of Landlord Taft, pro.
prietor of the hotel where the shooting
took place, and the grand jury to be in
session next week will take action on
the matter. Some few believe that
Stroube will return after court adj
iourns, but it is doubtful. In the mean
time couple of deputies are in charge

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. ga special
dispatch printed here dated Spokane,

kane. while hunting in the Bitter Root
mountains on Sunday last. found
bottle floating down the Clearwater
river. Ellis caught the bottle, opened
1t, and found that it contained this
letter:
Nov. 81, 1898. I am alive and well.
Tell them to come and get me as soon
as any one finds this. am fifty miles
from civilization. as near as l can tell.

bottle came to me one day and l caught

Idaho. GEORGE COLGATE,
Goodbye, wife and children.
The dispatch also says as soon as NJ.
c. Normoyle, proprietor OF the st. Elmo,
heard rhe news he organized another
searching party to hunt for Colgate.
Gen. Carlin, the father of William E.
Carlin. the leader of the lost party, is in
st. Louis, and was seen at the residence
of Theophile Papin. on Lindell boule-
ward, where he is visiting. He had not
heard of the bottle being found, and
was somewhat surprised on learning
the nature of the note it contained.
mo-" said he, in answer to a query,
IL do not believe that note was written
by George Colgate at all. You see it is
dated Nov. q, and l am morally certain
that the cook was dead at least ten days
previous to that time. Because l know
the man was sick when he went out
with the party. His limbs were so af-
fected that it was difficult for him to
walk. When his condition was de-
scribed to Dr.. Webb. one of the best ply
sicians in Spokane, he said the man did
not have twenty-four hours to live.

Held Up and Kicked Because
They Had No Money.
E. d. Abbey. the liveryman at Seven
corners, had an experience with couple
of highwaymen Wednesday evening,
which he now relates with laughter:
but in telling the story he confesses
that he didn't laugh at all at the time.
Dick, as he is better known by wide
circle of acquaintance, was gong up
Seventh street on the night mentioned,
and as he neared the corner of Ex-
change street lie noticed two men just
ahead of him. The fellows seemed
to be waiting his approach, and
the idea at once occurred to him that
they were couple of "hold-up" artists.
He endeavored to put on bold front,
and stalked bravely on.
Just as he passed them one of the
fellows put out his foot and trIpped
Abbey, throwing him to the sidewalk.
Dick scrambled to his feet and started
up the middle of the street at a gait
which would make a quarter horse

look around, but he could feel the
hand of one of the highwaymen scraplng
his back as he dashed up the street.
He didn't stop running until he was
safe insite his Office at Seven corners,
and by this time he was so badly wind
ed from the run and shouting ''police"
ateVery other jump that he could not
talk. When he had recovered so as to
be able to talk. the men in the barn
were Informed of the attempted rob-
berry, and all hands sailed forth, but
the thugs had skipped.
len minutes later two young fellows
broke into the Office in the same condi-
ton. as to wind and excitement, as Dick
had short time previous. As soon as
the late arrivals could get their breath
they told story of their experience
which matched the one related by Dick,
except that the highwaymen had
stopped them and made a search of
their clothes. One of the victims had
only three cents in cash. This so en-
ragged the fellow who was searching him
that the highwayman took him by the
collar and assisted his departure greatly
by Kicking him for half block, finally
telling him, with string of oaths. that
he ought to be killed for coming out
with so little money in his pockets.

ASSESSMENT RAISED,
Dedon's Reassessment of Itasce
County.

County.
Senator Dedon yesterday filed with
State Auditor Biermann his report of
the reassessment of Itasca county. With
the exception of small tract in the
northern end of the county, the county
was covered by the cruisers. The re-
assessment covers the entire county. 1t
is stated that it has been the practice to
make uniform assessment of the forty
acre tracts through the timber country
without inspecting the timber. Here
and there a man through this means
paid taxes on worthless forty: but in
the majority of cases the owners paid
axes far below the real value of their
property. The report of Dedon raises
the assessment S2,300,OG0, making a
total of S4.7OO.0O0 as against 81, 400, 900,
the assessment of last year. This will
help out Itasca county materially.
