A Successful Paper.

In the face of hard times and bust
ness diScOuragementS it is inspiriting
to see at least one paper pushing
ahead as though prosperity were gen.
eral. The northeastern Aqricultmist,
of Minneapolis, announces that it will
be published twice month hereafter
instead of once a month. The Agri-
culturiSt never was calamity bowler,
AMI we are glad to note it's evident
success and prosperity.
The Northwestern Agriculturist has
for years stood at the head of the
monthly farm papers of the country,
and its friends will be pleased to know
that now it is'to be published twice a
mouth. The Ag,icultvist is printed
on an extra and expensive quality of
paper, with the finest class of press
work. 1t has consisted heretofore of
twenty-four pages per month; it will
consist hereafter of from thirty two
to forty pages a month, .. e., from six
teen to twenty pages twice a month.
Yet the subscription price will remain
only fifty cents year. We offer the
Northeastern Agriculturist and WEEKLY
FREE PRESS for year for 81 Is. The
Agriculturist is in hearty sympathy
with all the needs of the farmers. 1t
is free from partisan politics, howev.

A REMARKABLE RECORD.

Chief Phillips states that during the
year 1893, there were sixteen fire
alarms. The most of these were oc-
casioned by the burning out of Chin
neys, and no fire resulted in loss of
any account. The total loss by fire
during the year was not over $3,OOO,,
and the net loss above insurance.
about 5000. This is truly a remark
able showing for city of 10000
population. The city has always
been fortunate in regard to fires, and
the last years record is better than
usual. The carefulness Of our people,
the enforcement of fire regulations
by the council and police, and the
absence Of fire bugs have been causes
which have kept the number of
alarms down, The excellence of the
volunteer fire department has kept
the losses down after fires have start
ed, assisted by the perfect water sys-
tenn. MankatO is fortunate in having
so prompt and effective fire depart
menJ, and the council should con-
tiuue to grant it all needed facilities,
1t should be the policy of the city to
gradually increase the equipment Of
The fire department., and especially
in the line of modern life saving ap-
paratus for high buildings.

theatrical manager. John T. Ford, pro-
prietor of Fords Grand Opera House,

NO MONEY AVAILABLE.
Trouble Growing out of the Opening

Trouble Growing Out of the Opening
of the Cherokee strip.
WASHINGTON, March 15.-The gem
eral land office is having much trouble
over the expense accounts arising
from the opening of the Cherokee
strip
By some oversight there was no pro-
vision made for the expense of add
tional clerks to assist in the opening.
The law did not anticipate anything
like the rush which took place and evil
IDENTIFY thought the regular land officers
could accommodate the crowd. 1t was
evident long before the final opening,
however, that great additional force
would be necessary, and the land office
sent out force of go clerks to assist.
This obyiated the necessity of any APP
preparation for salaries, but there seems
no way in which the expenses of their
transportation can be paid.
The second comptroller has decided
that there is no money now appropri-
ated which could be used for this pur-
pose. The total expense of opening the
strip incurred by the land office was
about SIS 600, and not over $1,000 is
available from the contingent expense
fuad in the office
Provisions will have to be made in
the deficiency appropriation bill.

Duncan Must Hang.

ST. Louis. March 15.-The United
States supreme court dismissed for
want of jurisdiction the appeal of
Harry Duncan, who is in the St. Louis
jail under sentence of death for the al
legged murder of Police Officer James
Brady, Oct. 6, 1890. Duncan's case is
one of the most remarkable ever tried
in the state. He was tried twice for
the killing of Brady and found guilty
both times, and yet the belief is strong
among those who have watched the
case closely that ne did not kill the Off
Ger. The case was taken to the county
on a change of venue and tried both
times at Clayton. The supreme court
of the state refused to send the case
back for another trial on the last ap-
peal, and Duncan's attorney went to
work to have the case reviewed by the
United States supreme court Chief
Justice Fuller granted writ of error
last fall and the record was sent to
Washington, where the case was pend
ing. No date has yet been designated
for the execution,
