been broadened. Professor James de-
clared that American farmers must
cease to compete with the ryots of India
and poems Of South America by raising
wheat and cotton and must 20 into
lines Of production where his superior
intelligence and freedom will be of real
and great advantage. And to this end
the scientists at Madison will doubtless
offer some suggestions.
It may also interest common people to
know that the scientists are by no means
of one mind on the money question or
the 80 called social questions, or even on
things moro purely scientific, and that
in religion they range through all the
grades Of belief and unbelief, from the
most pronounced hyper-Calvinism to
blank agnosticism and dogmatic mate
rialism. At Washington, in 1891, Ed
ward Atkinson's paper entitled "Free
Coinage. Why Not?" was read by Sec
retary, and DR.. E. T. Peters advocated
bimetallism in ratio to be agreed upon
by the United States land other silver
using coming nations" A really novel
and suggestive point in his paper was
that many Of the old arguments against
bimetallism are now absolute rendered
SO by the growth Of modern commerce,
and that if one of the metals does go out
of this country that will cheaper it else
where, appreciate the other, increase the
production of one and decrease that Of
the other, and thus restore the parity.

FORMALLY ASSIGNED.
The Gas Company Filed Assignment
Papers Saturday
Evening.

Late Saturday evening the Gas
Company filed it's deed OF assignment
at the office of the clerk of court, as
predicted in Saturdays issue of the
TRANSCRIPT. No inventory of the
assets and liabilities has yet been
filed. C. w. Brown, the assignee,
sta ted to a TRANSCRIPT reporter that
the company was insolvent because
it could not get money to pay it's
debts which aggregate about $4,000.
The plant is valued at $4,000 besides
it has other rights and property.
He said it's entire assets were sched-
uled at $25,O0O. Had there not been
such a stringency in the money mar
ket there would have been no assign
ment. 1t seems to be one of the
many failures that are attributable
to the financial crisis. -. s...sz..#sss z. Sd

THE BRAINERD MURDER.
Who Killed Lee Chung, the Chinese
Laundryman? Two Rival Laundries
=. in that City.

Lee CnunS, VINO with Lee sing
started rival laundry at Brainerd,
was murdered about the middle of
June and the body discovered June
l8 in the pines about a mile from
that city. The old laundry was run
by three cinnamon named Wing Sing,
All Kee and HON Hong.
Lee Sing, the partner OF the MUIR
dered man, says that the proprietors
of the old laundry invited them to
eat soup with them on the day of the
disappearance Of the murdered man,
and that while he himself did not
accept the invitation his partner,
Lee Chung, did. and that was the
last that he saw of him alive when
he entered the home of the rival
laundrymen. Lee Chung went to
Duluth and informed the Cinnamon
there OF the Disappearance of his
partner. And Boo Joany came over.
from Duluth to Brainerd. He says
he knew one of the suspected China
men in California and that he once
killed man there.
And on the day OF the disappearance
OF Lee Chung several parties saw
three Cinnamon go out from town
and only two return. And the re-
mains of the missing Chinaman
showed that it was clearly a case of
murder. A stab made with a knife
was found on the right side of the
back, and another stab was found
on the left breast, penetrating to the
region Of the heart. In both cases
there was a clear, we'll defined cut
through the garments, excepting the
coat, which had evidently been put
on the body after the murder took
place. The three Cinnamon, who are
suspected, have been lodged in Jail.
But while the Duluth Cinnamon
want them convicted, the st. Paul
Cinnamon do not. The Brainerd
Journal says: Last Sunday night
two friends of the accused Cinnamon,
Hum Bang and Hum Kee, came up
from st. Paul to look after their in
terests. These two are very intelli-
gent Cinnamon, well dressed in white
mems clothes, and talk good English
and write splendid hand in English
language. They express full confid-
ence in the innocence of the accused
-Chinamen. Sing has offered a re-
ward of $500 for the discovery and
conviction of the murderers of his
partner, who had $50 and a gold
watch on his person when he disap-
peared which were not on his re-
mains when found.
At the preliminary examination
Hum Hong, and Wing Sing We're
held on charge of murder and Hum
Kee was put under bonds to appear
as a witness at the final trial. All
Kee testified that Lee Chung was
not at the old laundry for dinner.
He denied all the main points testi-
fed to by Lee Sing and the other
witnesses for the prosecution.
Since the Duluth and st. Paul Chi
namen are arrayed upon one side or
the other an interview was sought
with the Chineman in this city. But
they stated that they had not
the pleasure of an acquaintance with
any of their celestial brethren at
Brainerd, although they knew of the
murder and asked how the examina-
ton had terminated. They had no
opinion to express 'on the murder.

NATURE DOING VERY WELL.
The Services of the Rainmakers Can
Be Dispensed With In
This Section.

The parched and thirsty fields ina
bibed very freely of aqua pura last
evening and as a result the crops
have been greatly revivified. Judg-
ing by the reports of those who were
in town today the rain was very gen.
eral in this section and will add
many thousands of dollars to the
value of crops. More than an inch OF
rain is estimated by good judges to
have fallen. 1t rained continuously
for about three and one-half hours,
and during about half OF that time it
fell almost in torrents. A much more
jubilant feeling prevails and the ser
vices of the rainmakers can perhaps
be dispensed with. There is nothing
that can eclipse nature in tue rain
making business when she SO wills.
The storm was accompanied by quite
an electrical display which at times
was somewhat alarming. But there
are no reports Of it having done any
damage.

graduation that so many Of the papers
are on subjects of great practical i'm
portance, and it is especially noteworthy
that the interests Of the farmer are so
much thought Of. Indeed the American
farmer just now seems to be very much
in it, both with scientists and politicians
Ono OF the great questions of the day,
and incidentally for the association, is
concerning the aid which science has
given and can give to the farmer.

ence Monthly makes an interesting ex-
hibit showing that in the item Of ferti.

times the amount government has ex.
pended: Nevertheless many scientists
insist that the farmer is now RAPIDLY
falling behind other classes, and at the
meeting of this association for 1891 at
Washington Professor Edmund J. James
OF the University Of Pennsylvania read
a paper before the economic section
which excited much discussion. Pro

OUR GREATNESS AND DANGERS.
Unrestricted Immigration and Con-
gestiOn of Wealth Some of the
Perils-The Illinois Governor
Criticised.

The Congregational society is hay

many nations whose birth and
growth had been been by a process
of evolution, had no special day
which could he called the anniversary
OF their birth
He alluded to the increase in pop
ulation, from 100000 to 5000 900 in
III years; to the marvellous increase
in wealth, in education and all the
attendants Of civilization and argued
also that there had been Il great i'll

H- drew quite roseate view OF
the great republic, making very
favorable comparison of it's attain
mcnts with those of Egypt, Babylon,
Greece and Rome.
But after dilating upon the glories
of the nation he spoke OF what he
considered dangers which menaccd it
and of the great problems to be
solved. There was danger in the
great congestion of wealth. Wealth
can be a source OF danger as well as
happiness. Socialism was one of the
breakers pointed out, though he be-
licved. he said, in the socialism OF
primitive Christianity. Unrestricted
foreign immigration was another
danger. He favored immigration of
every nation and color, provided
they were not the scums Of nation.
The nation had got much undesira-
bic immigration from the south OF
Europe. He favored an educational
and physical qualification for immi-
grants. The action OF the governor
of Illinois was denounced in pardon
ing the anarchists, and apOlOgizing
for a prize fight not coming off

After the sermon the large audience
sang America.

today that there were five candidates

also man from Todd county. Gov.
BaXter's term of office does not eX-
pire before next June but he thinks a
democrat will be appointed before
that time, but says he has no idea
as to which one of the applicants
will be successful. Mr.. Ellenbecker

Gun Club House Burned.

The Gun Club house, situated on
the east side of the railroad track,
was burned about O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. It is supposed to have
been incendlary. Some boys, sons of
A. Giles and Thomas Warning, are
reported to have been playing there
just before the fire occurred. The
building cost about 800, and as the
Gun Club is not specially burdened
with money in these times of finan-
cial depression it's members do not
take kindly to- this mischievOus or
malicious burning OF their property.

Bismark special of last nigh t.:
Early this morning as the Northern
Pacific westboupd train was passing
Apple creek, small stream five
miles east OF this city, George Egbert,
a man over 70 years of age, jumped
from the platform of one of the tour
list sleepers and was instantly killed
Egbert and wife were travelling from
Bedford, o.. to Billings, Mont, to
visit q daughter, Mrs. L. j. Bailey,
who resides there. For number
of years Egbert has been
troubled with slight attacks of men,
tai disorder, but nothing serious had
heretofore happened. Allday yester-
day on the trip from Minneapolis he
had been flighty and restless, getting
up in the night and supposedly while
temporarily out of his mind he made
the fatal step. The train was rum
ming at the rate of As miles an hour
and death must have been instan-
taneous, as his head struck small
culvert. A searching party was or
ganized here as soon as the accident
was known and the remains found
about daylight. The body is now
lying in the rooms of Coroner Webb
and all inquest will be held later.
