THE senate committee which has
been Investigating the alleged pine
land frauds in the northern part of
the state makes some very serious
charges in it's report, and asks that a
commission be appointed to thorough
ly investigate the matter during the
summer, and thinks if the facts OBJ
tanned are as striking and serious as
have been charged in their report, the
legislature might be convened to take
action. The senate has very properly
ordered the continuation of the in
vestigation. From what can be gath
cred from the report made, it wo aid
seem that searching investigation
which will get at the facts of the case
is needed, and the guilty parties pun
ished. If half the allegations made
are true, there is ample need of the
administration of law in allopathic
doses. The good name of the state is
at stake, and if there exists an or
gained attempt to punder it, justice
should be melted out To the full ex-
ent.

The St. Cloud Journal Press thinks
if there is any truth in the stories
that come from Washington that
President Cleveland will dispose the
federal patronage in this state, in the
interest of Dan LAWYERS senatorial
aspirations, the latter had better
leave the matter to Mr.. DOran, as it
says that for every Democrat appoint
ed there will be twenty disappointed
ones, who will hold Lawler response
BILE. 1t thinks his chances would be
far better with his party to be in
shape to swear with the fellows who
get left.

any article can have is the endorse

When the mothers recommend it
you may know that the article has
more than ordinary merit. Here is
what the Centerville, South Dakota,
Citizen says editorially of an article
sold in their town: From personal
experience we can say that Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy has broken up
bad colds for our children. We are
acquainted with many mothers in

it in the house for good many times

THE NEW OFFICERS.

The most of the newly elected city
officials received their certificates of
election from RecorderBrownTu
morning and took the oath of office.
Mayor Weaver appeared and took the
oath at shortly before ten,o'clock, and
he was Immediately called upon to at
tach his signature to an official paper
that was waiting for signature.
The certificate which was given to
Judge Shissler stated that he was
elected for the three years commenc-
ing April 4th, 1894. He asked to have
this changed TIC read "for the term as
provided by law" but this was refus-
ed. He consulted his attorneys,
Messrs. Cray and Plymat, and return
ed satisfied and took the oath of Of
flee. He then made a demand upon
Judge Porter for the office, and this
was refused. Mr.. Shissler will apply
to the attorney general for a writ of
quo warrantO returnable to the su-
preme court, to require Judge Porter
to show cause why he does not vacate
the office. Judge Porter is anxious to
have the matter decided and be made
matter Of record and has waived all
formalities, and the case will be de-
cided as quickly as possible. 1t is
important that the matter should be
decided at this time. Both parties
are confident of success.
Among the first of the aldermen to
qualify were Messrs. Bashaw and
Widell.

A SINKING FUND.

The sinking fund has been restored
to it's full amount. $9,00S.04, and has
been placed at interest among the diff
ferent banks of the city, as required
by law. The rate of interest secured is
four per cent. year. Tins is the
reason the council found itself $1,000
behind last night.
This is proper and businesSlike
move, and IMPLIES with the law. The
sinking fund should never have been
touched in the first place. Mayor
Willard promised this spring that the
funds should be restored before he went
out of Office. and it is one of the most
creditable moves of the administra
tion that this has been done. The
small amount borrowed will be paid
up in two months, when the June
taxes come in, and then there will be
plenty of money to carry on the city
government and improvements al
ready starred, and a few others, if
iudiciOus care is exercised. The sink
ing fund will be increased next year
and IN this why good slice of the
SSl 900 of railroad bonds which fall due
in 1894 can be paid, The new council
should make it point to preserve the
sinking fund intact.

There is an ordinance OH the statute
books of Jackson which prohibits rail
roads from running their trains at
greater speed than six miles an hour
within the city limits. The limits of the
city extend to jackson junction. At this
point Engineer Whalen was running his
train at a rate of twenty-three miles
an hour. This is violation of the
city ordinance. 1t is about mile and
half from the junction to the city and
the schedule time for the run for regular
which comes within the provisions of
the ordinance. A number of persons
who witnessed the disaster state posi-
lively that the rate of speed at which
the train was going was far i'll excess of
this figure. Some even allege that the
train was running 40 miles an hour
This is hardly probable as the master
mechanic of the road declares that the
rate of speed was not above % miles an

was decreased rather than Increased
