lezzlement Begins.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 18.-The trial of

said to have been the moving spirit in
about a dozen companies, which it was
alleged had been organized chiefly for
the purpose Of borrowing money from
the bank Of which Kortgaard was the
head. It was charged that the bank
loaned to these companies an amount
OF money in excess Of the statutory

securities were worthless.
The grand jury subsequently found
indictments for grand larceny covering
seven counts, eaggregating $500, 662, and
another Indictment charging fraud.
The first Indictment charged him with
the larceny Of $2,70O; the second with
the larceny of 1923, 500; the third charged
him with falesly representing the bank
to be solvent, thereby securing from
John w. Arctander a deposit of 81, 900;
the fourth with the larceny Of 81, 462;
the fifth, $40, 900: the sixth, $500 the
seventh, $21, 200; the eighth, $23, 5000.

CAR BLOCKADE.

An Unusual Condition of Affairs Exists in
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. 18.-Chicago freight
yards are so badly blocked with loaded
cars that it is almost impossible to move
anything in them. The blockade is as
severe as has ever existed here, though
the traffic Of the roads is very much be-
low what it has been in some previous
years. The laden cars for the most part
contain grain for which no storage room
can be found. The elevators are all full
to OVERLOOKING and consignees are for
the time being forcing the roads to
transform their cars into storage ware
houses. It is estimated that there are
5000 cars loaded with grain on the
tracks in and around Chicago, delivery
of which cannot be taken at present.
Roads most Inconvenience are the
Wabash, Illinois Central and Chicago
and Eastern Illinois.

Gives Meat to the Poor.
This trip lasted II days, the animals
were fed with hay and corn, and landed
in good condition. The Hamburg
journal says:
'It is to be expected that German
agrarians will oppose these importations
but it will meet with the approval Of
the consumers and allow the poorer
classes to eat meat, which at present is
beyond their reach. It is to be hoped
that these importations will make good
progress. Experience has shown that
the quality Of the American meat is as
good as German, and that in general
American cattle are healthier than Ger
man cattle, and it is acknowledged that
tuberculosis is rarely found among the
American CATTLE"

New YORK, Sept. 18.-Ex-Secretary
Of War Elkins is at the Holland House
and looked quite well. Mr.. Elkins,
being asked if he intended to be a can
didate for the United States senate

to do the very best we can to make
it So"
Being asked as to the prospects for
defeating Congressman Wilson, the ex-

ginia was a protective tariff state and
its industries would be ruined if the
free trade policy of Democracy were
carried out as intended. You are likely
to see a political revolution in West
Virginia, concluded Mr.. Elkins.

Nevada Republicans Don't Want to be
Represented by a Populist.
CARSON, New, Sept. Ex-senator
John P. Jones of Nevada has been re-
quested by the Republican state central
committee to resign his seat in the
United States senate, to which he was
elected by Republicans.
This request is made i'll a long letter
which was drafted by Chairman Tren-
nor Coffin and approved by the state
central committee at a meeting held in
this city. The letter exhaustively re-
views Senator jones' letter Of Aug. 20,
to the former chairman of the commit
tee, Enoch Strother, in which Jones
announces that he left the Republican
party to join the Populists, and severely
criticizes his course of action, conclud-
ing as follows:
Some Peculiar Mental Process.
"But by what mental processes you
arrive at the conclusion that the great
principle involved requires you to part
company with the Republican party of
Nevada, your letter entirely fails to
disclose. You concede that we are true
to the cause of silver. Then why do
you abandon us? If we are true to silver
why does not devotion to that 'princi-
pie Of which you write SO eloquently
require you to remain true to us? Not
only have we been true to the cause of
silver, but we have been true to every
other great principle that you hold dear,
and more than that we have been fdel-
ity itself to you. Then we ask again,
why have you abandoned us?
Left Without a Party.
"The silver party does not accept
your name, while the Populist party
does not accept your creed, SO that upon
every recognized political principle, you
are literally left without a party in the
state of Nevada.
Gin conclusion we desire to remind
you that you were elected to the United
States senate as a Republican, by the
Republican party. In the strictest
sense that office is a political one, and
the Republican party is entitled to rep.
resentation for the full term of six
years from the 18th of March, 1891. As
you now that you can nc
longer act with the party that elected
you, every consideration of propriety
and delicacy requires you to resign. In
the name of the Republican party oil
Nevada, we respectfully request you tc
do So"

Will HAVE A CONTEST CONTEST
Breckenridge Thinks He Can Overcome
the Apparent Majority For
Owens.
COMMITTEE FAVO2S HIM.
Owens Men, However, Claim Their
Majority Is Too Large to Be
Wiped Out.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 1s.-A Lexington
[Ky.) special says: Breckenridge will
contest and has already sent letters to
the committeeman in the eight counties,
notifying them of his purpose. The
Breckinridge men have a majority Of
the district committee, which is the re-
turning board and declares officially
who is the nominee on the primary re-
turns. 1t is claimed by Breckenridge
men that enough illegal votes were
cast Saturday to overcome the small
plurality of Owens.
Colonel Barney Treacy, president of
the Owens club, claims that his man
has a clear lead of 400 over the "silver-
tongued orator." and that he is in no
way afraid that Owens will lose the
race. He says that Owens could not
help but win with the women and
moral sentiment on his side. The
Breckenridge people say that Owens
lead is barely 100, and that the com
mittee will give them the nomination
sure
Hustling For Evidence.
The Breckenridge forces are h trying
messengers to all parts of the Ashland
district to secure evidence upon which
to base a contest. Stress is laid on the
fact that Owens county Of Scott, which
gave him 1900 plurality, shows an in
o,,ooco of 81 I 0uo1. fho :; r,1%o
in 1892, and Franklin county, which
Owens carried by 521, shows an increase
Of SOL, almost 80 1-3 per cent in each
county. The other six counties show
from to 20 per cent increase. The
Breckenridge men refuse to give out
figures, but say their advices from
every precinct give Owens only 1859 on
the face Of the returns.
Watching Breckinridge's Messengers.
Desha Breckenridge, J. G. Rogers and
Judge Bullock have gone to Scott
county to get affidavits and to investi-
gate the report that two precincts polls
We're kept open IL hour longer than
the law allows, and this Will be one
Of the grounds Of contest. The Owens
men have every precinct in the district,
and insist on 306 plurality. They are
sending men to watch Breckenridge
messengers, and claim to be able to
prove gross frauds in Lexington that
, will give abundant grounds for retalia-
tory contest. The Owens men say scores
of fraudulent Breckenridge votes were
cast in this city by men who were not
registered last fall. but who produced
readymade afidavits that they were cut
Of the city on registration day.

that it has begun to attract serious

has spread until it extends over a terri
tory ten miles spare. It is hardy and
grows above the irrigation bitches
where there is little or no water. The
weed was brought to this state probably
in seed oats from Dakota, and the rail
ways, irrigation bitches and the wind
have all been active agents in spread
ing it.
