visit from $50 Colorado miners on their
way East. They captured the Chicago

were hungry, having had nothing to
eat since the day before. Arrangements
were promptly made to give them
meal, and when they arrived about !
o'clock they were fed on the ground

The Chief Telegrapher Will Be Inn.
peached if Charges Are Sustained
CHICAGO, July ga special to The
Herald from Omaha says: The deeper
inquiry into the sensational impeach-
ment charges fled against Grand Chief
D. g. Ramsay of the Order of Railway
photographers goes, the worseit appears
for Ramsay. The local newspapers
said nothing about the charges of i'm
morality made against him, but it is
quite true that the So specifications in
the complaint go into such details as to
disclose much of a startling nature. Ar
rangements have been effected whereby
w. F. Gurley, probably the leading
criminal lawyer of this section, will
conduct the case of the Omaha division
against Ramsay and his right hand man,
A. D. Thurston. The other defendant,
George c. Flegel, grand executive COM
mitteeman, is considered rather small
game. The Omaha division has re-
duced most of the testimony to affidav-
its and claims to have willing witnesses
to show the rest.

MITCHELL'S BANK
What Was Considered Milwaukee's
Strongest Institution Goes to
the Wall.
Cashier Murphy Says the Bank
Is Solvent, But Couldn't Get
Three Banks at indianapolis and Two
at louisville Also Close Other
Failures.

MILWAUKEE, July 20. AT 10 o'clock
q. m. notice of suspension was posted
on the doors of the Wisconsin Fire
and Marine Insurance Company bank.
This bank, which has generally been
known as 'sMitchells bank" as Senator
Mitchell and his father. the late Alex
ander Mitchell. held the principal stock.
was considered the very strongest bank
In the city and during the troubles Of
June and this week there have been
comparatively unimportant runs on it.
The bank was closed up on an action
brought by Benjamin We'll, real es-
tate man, who alleged that the
bank owed him $13,341.71, which
1t was unable to pay. On motion of
B. K. Miller Washington Becker was
appointed receiver under bonds Of
$1,000, 900.
This bank is the city depository, and
at the present time holds $1,365, 900 Of
the city's money. 1t is impossible to
get statement from the officials of the
bank as yet, but it is believed that a
statement will be prepared during the
day. (-.
The failure of the bank simply proves
that runs Of the most desperate kind
are being quietly made on every bank
in the city, and with the fall of the old
established Mitchell bank it is impos-
sible to tell what the day will bring
in the way of additional disasters. The
Mitchell bank was the depository of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
railroad, and paymasters' checks are
drawn on it. They will be cashed at
the station here. The treasurers
checks will be paid by the Wisconsin
National bank.
Cashier Murphy of the Fire and
Marine bank made the. following state.
ment: "We have nothing to say about
the matter at the present time, and, in
| fact, there is not much to be said. We
have been subjected to constant drain
for some time and had realized on
about every asset on which the bank
could get money on short time. We
felt that under the existing condition:
it was only a question of time before
suspension must inevitably come ani
therefore decided to close. We might
possibly have got through the day al
right, but it was considered best for III
not to open for business. This hank il
not insolvent by any means, and only
time is needed to realize enough II
meet every liability.

REAL ESTATE CONGRESS.
Titles and Transfers Will Be an I'm.
portant Topic at St. Paul.

portant Topic at ST. Paul.
ST.. PAUL, July 26.-Arrangements
for the National Real Estate convention
to be held in this city Aug. 81, % and
%, are nearly completed. From adj
vices received by the Real Estate Ex-
change there will be large attendance.
Probably the most interesting topic.
that will come up for discussion in the
convention is that of transfers and
Titles" At the last national conven-
ton committee was appointed to look
up the matter and report to this con-
vention some system which might be
recommended to the various state legis-
latures. Nearly every state at present
has law different in its essential con-
ditions from the real estate law OF every
other state, and it is the work OF the
committee to examine all these different
methods and select what it considers
the best points of each. The committee
is also considering the question OF a
state guarantee of titles in real estate.
A meeting of the committee was held
at New York a short time since. In
the course of an article upon the SUBJ
ject the New York Herald said:
Real estate transfer in most OF the
states is a cumbersome and tedious
undertaking, involving more labor and
annoyance than the transfer OF any
other kind of securities. In New York
much of this difficulty has been OBJ
waited by the Olmstead system Of block
transfer, but in other states real estate
conveyancing is accomplished only
under the most antiquated systems.
The hope of the National Real Estate
association is to so change the law that
real estate deeds can be bought and
sold in the open market with the same
facility as railroad stocks and bonds.
After house and lot have been sold,
even under the New York law, it gen.
orally takes 80 days before title can be
passed and the full purchase price paid.
Men who are running on close margin
do not care to hold security that 1t
takes a month to realize upon, and an
army of men and millions of money are
| kept out of the real estate market as
consequence.

DAYS GONE BY.

Oh, the days gone byI Oh, the days gone byl
The apple in the orchard, and the pathway
through the rye;
The chirrup Of the robin, and the whistle of the
quail So
As he piped across the meadows sweet as any
nightingale,
When the bloom was on the clover, and the
blue was in the sky, -
And my happy heart brimmed over, In tho
days gone by. >
In the days gone by, when my NAKED feet were
tripped ~ ..
By the honeysuckle's tangles, where the water
lilies dipped,
And the ripple of the river Tipped the moss
along the brink,
Where the placid eyed and lazy footed cattle
came to drink,
And the fitting snipe stood fearless of the tru-
ants hayward cry,
And the splashing of the swimmer, in the days
gone BY.
Oh, the days gone byI oh, the days gone byI
The music of the laughing lip, the luster Of the
eye,
The childish faith In fairies, and Aladdin's
magic ring,
The simple, soul reposing, glad belief in every
thing,
When life was Ike a story, holding neither
sob nor sigh,
In the olden, golden glory Of the days gone by.

ARGUMENTS CONCLUDED.
Famous "Section Thirty" Case Before
Land Commissioner Lamoreatix.

Famous "Section Thirty" Case Before
Land Commissioner Lamoreatlx.
WASHINGTON, July 26.-The oral ar
gument in the famous Section Thirty
case was concluded before Commission
er Lamoreaux during the afternoon.
Thirty days will be allowed the attor-
neys in which to file briefs, and then
the matter will be taken up and decided
by the commissioner. The land In con-
test is located near Ely, and is supposed
to contain the most valuable iron mine
In the United States. So far the valua-
ton that has been placed cnon it is
speculative, but it is either worth mil
lions or very small amount. It was
first located with Sioux half-breed
scrip. in june, 1883, by F. w. Eaton.
In October, 1884, Thomas w. Hyde and
Angus Mcdonald contested this entry.
This contest reached the secretary Of
the interior in 1889, and on Feb. Is,
Secretary Villas
Rejected the Application
of Hyde and Mcdonald at the same
time that he ruled out the Sioux scrip
entry declaring that the land was again
open to settlement. This decision de-
prived Hyde and Mcdonald of their
preferred right to enter the land. This
was because of q contract with their at
torneys. Hyde and Mcdonald promptly
made an application for a rehearing
which was finally granted by Secretary
Noble in 1891.
Meantime as soon as the decision of
Secretary Villas was made known there
was wild rush at the Duluth Office by
number of parties, among them Emil
Hartman, the Bishot Iron company and
several others. Of these Hartman
seems to be rather ahead. However.
before the decision of Secretary Villas
had been made known to the Duluth
officials and
Before the Land Was Open
on the books there an entry was offered
by Alden and James, the representa-
tives of the Minnesota Iron company
and it was in their favor that Register
Nichols rendered his decision at the
close of the rehearing ordering in 1891
and which ended in March, 1892. The
evidence sent on by Register Nichols
fills 5000 pages and contains Charge
and countercharges of forgery, ant
crooked work enough to send hal
dozen to the penitentiary. R. w. Mar
BILE of Duluth, and John Brennan o
| West Superior, were the only North
western attorneys present.
