GROSS TIMBER FRAUDS.
State of Minnesota Alleged to Have Been
Robbed by Lumbermen.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.. Sept 6-State
Senator w. s. Dedson, of the senatorial
committee which is investigating the frauds
against the State in the cutting of pine on
school lands, has just returned from an
extensive trip through the country where
the frauds are alleged TO p ye been COM
mitted. He said: 1--WE are now ready with
the evidence necessary TO begin suits
aggregs ting S5Oo,0o0 against various lumber
firms in the State. Up to date we have
uncovered frauds which will sum up to a
million dollars, and the investigation has
cost the State 10000. One firm. which has
cut over a section. settled with the State
on a basis of only $4,000 feet Our scale
from the stump shows that over 100000
feet was actually cut and the true figure
is probably nearer 100000. That is a sam
pie case. After il was cut an employe
was instructed TO burn il over and make a
clean job of 1t. Our report 10 the next
Legislature will open their eyes to cor
ruption in high places that they had never
dreamed OF. We shall not deal in glittsring
generalities, but in cold. hard facts"

not, however, have reached the mark
which Is supposed to be the minimum for
harness horses. The third heat was not
expected to develop as much speed as the
two preceding ones, and the time of 2O4sA
was not far below the standard of the
other heats.
Pretty little Alix and her performance
was in a measure overshadowed by the
wonderful match, and while she did not
lower the 2:04 worlds record for trotters,
held by Nancy Hanks. yet she came with
In three-Quarters Of second of reaching
it, lowering her own record of 2:05ls TO
2:o4s4. In her first trial she cast shoe at
the first turn and just after passing the
seven-eighths broke, finishing in jog in
207A. This accident may have been part
the second trial.
There was another record broken, although
not sensational an event as the two
great specials of the day. The petite rider
Miss Harris. piloted her big PAGER, Alba
tross, a half mile around in less than a
minute. it being announced from the stand
that the time :59 As, which is lower
than the previous worlds record for half
mile pace under the saddle. Mr.. Harris,
the owner of the PAGER, thought the timers
on the start. but the time came from reli-
able watches and the animal is entitled
to the credit of the record.
In the first heat for three-year-old PAGERS
there was very fine performance by the
gray filly Ethel A, who made the mile in
2:10A, the fastest mile ever paced by
three-year-oid with one exception. Online
holds the record-2:10-made several years
ago.
The day yesterday was a perfect one for
racing. The track had dried out after the
rains Of the preceding day, and a half doz-
en- track harrows worked during the morn
ing to improve the condition of the track.
A few more hours of work on it would
have made it faster. The warm day. with
occasional clouds, was one which horsemen
like. If there Is no rain to-day it is quite
probable that Directly will lower the two
year-old record.

Villas SPEAKS.
Wiscon sins Cuckoo Talks ON the Tars
IN and other Subjects.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Sept. 6-William +.
Villas, who has been called a "Cleveland
cuckoo" on account OF his speech in the
Senate in support of the Presidents posi-
ton on the tariff question, was temporary
chairman of the Democratic State conven-
ton here to-day. Mr.. Villas made a long
speech, in which he scored the last RepuD-
lican administration for "squandering tha
surplus and eulogized the work of DEM
ocrats in Congress in enacting tariff and
financial laws. Taking up the tariff ques-
tion Mr. Villas said that the Mckinley act
was framed to enrich Republican favorites.
Though every rate of duty was increased
on goods OF Republican favorites," he said.
"the governments share OF the increased
taxation was reduced over $97.0o0.0oo be-
tween the last year before McKinleyism
and the last year the folly endured"
Against this falling of in revenues OF tbs
government the speaker referred to the In

by the Fifty-frst Congress, and used il
