z. H. Ea&an Talks About EAis
Trip TO the EcxDO.

E. L. Eagan, who returned Saturday
from two weeks trip to the great
fair at Chicago, gives a glowing account
of what he saw at the exposition. He
says that person who has not seen the
fair can form no idea of the vastncss of
the show, and nothing but trip there
will ever give such idea. Specially inter
esting, he says, were the build
ings devoted to manufactures and lib
eral arts, transportation and IN chinery.
In the building first mentioned every
nation on the globe vies with each her
IN the display of manufactured articles.
Some idea of the scale on which this ex-
hibit is made cam be had when it is
stated that there are IL acres of floor
space in the building. OF course, Mr.
Eagan says. the visitors will pay most
attention to the exhibit in which they
are more directly interested because of
their business, but no one who goes to
the fair will leave without seeing the
whole exhibition, for there is something
| new and interesting at every step he
takes.
On the 3Oth of May there were 137,-
600 persons in the grounds, besides the
10000 exhibitors and employees But,
no Notwithstanding this enormous crowd,
he grounds were far from seeming
crowded. 1t is believed that 800, 900 or
400, 900 people can be accommodated in
the grounds without discomfort. The
crowds in the grounds are always or
derby.
Regarding the charges OF extortion
made against the Chicago people, Mr..
Eagan says they groundleSs. Or
course, if the visitor chooses to do so, he
can pay enormous prices for his living
there, just he can do in any city. But
with 500 visitor can spend two weeks
at the Fair and see something that will
i'm press him for he remainder of his life.
Mr.. Eagan has been prevailed upon to
give some of his Chicago experiences at
the informal social in the parlor of the
Y. NJ. c. A. Saturday evening. This will
| be an opportunity for young men con-
| templating trip to Chicago to learn a
great deal that will be really valuable to
| them. The association extends an invi-
| tation to all young men to hear this
| Informal talk on an interesting theme.

TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
They I.lav the old Jesse Janes
Game and stand OFF a whole
Town Full of CttizenS-Thc
Shre1n In Pursuit.

LITTLE Rock, June 6.-This town was
thrown into the widest excitement
about o'clock yesterday afternoon by
band of six robbers who, with drawn
Winchcsters, rushed into and robbed the
Peoples bank of all the gold and cur
rency hand, amounting to about
$4,000.
The robbers came into town by back
alley and left one of their number to hold
their horses while the rest went into the
bank ard at the point of their guns COM
PEELED the cashier to give them all the
cash in the vault. Two of the robbers
stood guard at the door and fired into
the streets at every man that showed his
head.
The citizens, however, as soon as pos
sible, got what arms they could and
began firing at the robbers, finally
| wounding two of them, but to what
extent is not known. Three citizens
| were wounded in the fight, Geo. d. Jack
son, slight wound in head; Tom Baker,
| slight wound in hip; Taylor Stone, shot
| in groin. He is dangerous wounded and
| may die.
When the robbers left the bank they
| compelled some of the bank officials to
| go before and behind them i'll order to
| protect them from the citizens. Tie
| sheriff with a posse started in pursuit OF
| the robbers Immediately and at last ac-
| counts was only quarter of mile
behind them.

THE LUMBER TRUST.

The report Of the senate committee,
with its revelations of how the lumber
men have plundered the state, invites
attention to the trust these men have
formed for the pupose OF controlling the
price of the lumber they have defraud-
ed the school funds out of.
1t is a matter of common nOtOriety
that they have formed a combination OF
the nature OF a trust, without its form,
and that the mills of the state are in 1t
and bound by it. Some time since an
indictment was found in the federal
court against some of the members of
the combination on information gath
cred and presented by the editor of the
Albert Lea Standard. When the case
came on for rial a demurrer was inter-
posed AMI sustained. The court held
that the facts as charged in the indict-
ment did not constitute a crime within
the Sherman act.
1t does not seem to be very difficult
matter for an attorney Ofthe ability one
should possess to be the district attorney
of the United States, to draw an indict-
uiGilL Sldtl4l- l0GAS hlllllil THAT hNla anu
TO draft it so that it would charge the
offense defined in it. The first section
declares that every contract, c0mbina-
ton in the form Of trust or otherwise, or
conspiracy in restraint of trade or COM
meIcc among the several states, is here
by declared Illegal" The trade of the
combination extends beyond the state
it had for its purpose the control OF
prices and the monopoly of the lumber
trade within the meaning of section ,.
But that prosecution failed because Of a
technical defect in the statement OF
facts. and not because of lack of facts.
The effort to bring the viOlatOis of the
law to the bar of justice ceased with
this defeat. Why?
The meetings of the officers of the lun-
Der combination are reported in the
papers, though they are executive, "
and no more is given out to the public
of the proceedings than the members
wish it to know. About all that the
public learns of the meetings is that the
schedule of lumber prices has been ad-
vanced.
No wonder that there is opportunity
for the rapid accumulation of fortunes
in this business. First, cheaper the
cost of the raw material, the pine on the
stump, by corrupting the state and fed
eral cruisers 10 underestimate the
amount of pine or its value. Get title
to the latter lands through fraudulent
prescriptions; use any device to secure
the pine at as low cost as possible :;
evade the taxation of the standing pine
at its real value, or Of the logs. Then
form a combination which will control
output. fix prices; apportion out the
state into territories and prevent in
fringements; tie everybody up with
ironclad contracts; prescribe penalties
and forfeitures, for even the cohesive
ness of greed is not always strong
enOugh-and there you have the two
factors of the problem for getting rich
quickly.

WHAT IS THE ENCE i?

The assembly committee on streets
yesterday afternoon rejected ali bids for
the sprinkling contracts because one
bidder had uHderbid the rest. 1t APP
pears that the contestants had entered
into d combine whereby they were not
to underbid each other, and, as alleged,
one of them broke faith and put i'll
Il proposal which was the lowest made
for seven years. The gentleman says
be was not member of the combine,
and possibly he was not, but the i'm
preston is that he was. But whether
he was Is a matter between the bidders,
and does not concern the city. The aim
Of the city is to get the work done at the
lowest figure, and that one of the bid
berS broke faith with his fellows, or was
not party to the wicked combination,
should be looked upon as very fortu-
nate circumstance. But the majority
of the committee was so full of the
spirit of fairness that it sat upon the
opportunity.
1t was altogether queer business,
and most people will wonder whether
the assemblymen have more interest IN
the bidders than in the city. 1t is init
mated that one of the committee sus-
pected that the lowest bidder was rep
resenting a contractor whom he de-
splses; hence rather than award the
contract to the despiSed party, he would
have the city pay higher price for the
work. But more surprising thing is
the action of a leader of the assembly
who is the champion of the interests of
the heaviest taxpayers. His only apol-
ogy for voting to reject all bids was that
it was not ian open competition.
Whether the man broke faith with tue
combination or was not party to it is
the difference between tweedledee and
tWeedledum; the fact remains that the
city was given the opportunity to have
the streets sprlnkled this summer at the
lowest cost for seven years, and the
people will be pretty likely to hold
these fair-minded assemblymen respon-
sible for their tomfOoIery.

THE AMENDMENT

The amendment of the capitol bill
which was passed by the senate yester-
day places tin the power of the commits
sion to purchase new site within half
mile Of the present, and build the
foundation before the next meeting of
the legislature. The present site could
be enlarged by vacating Exchange
street and taking the block on the south
side. The commission is still at liberty
to do so. But it is doubtful whether
the two blocks would be large enough.
and 1t is likely that the owners of the
south block would ask more for the
property than the commission could af-
ford to pay: The capitol block could
probably be sold for enough to purchase
four blocks within the half-mile limit.
There are several slightly I~--lities

within the limit the market values Of
which are not great. A site should be
chosen where the streets TO be vacated
are not important thOroughtareS.
\ strong argument in favor of a new
site is the fact that if the present one is
to be retained the state will be put to
the expense of providing other quarters
during the ten years. This w0ald be a
large item. Everything considered, 1t
would be better to purchase new and
much larger grounds. By the time the
capitol is ready for use the block on
Wabasha street could be sold for large
sum.
The amendment leaves it in the hands
of the commission TO choose its own
architects. and this would no doubt re
suit in material saving of expense.
The very large majority by which the
amendment was adopted indicates a
general feeling in favor of a new site,
and leaving the commission unham-
pered with reference to employing ar
cbitectS. 1t is believed that the house
will concur in the amendment by quite
as strong a majority.
