The st. Paul Daily News has passed
into the hands of a receiver and will now
be run as a straight out democratic
paper under the management of George
d. TAFT. In asking the public patronage
on the basis OF a clean, ~businesslike and
sensibly edited newspaper, he remarks:
The Daily News solicits the patronage
of business men upon that basis. No
editor, no proprietor, possesses the moral
right to ask anything else. And the
shattered wrecks of newspaper properties
throughout the country prove that only
financial ruin awaits the misguided indi-
viduals who attempt to ''bunko" sub
scribers and advertisers by flooding the
streets with shoddy makeshifts, mis-
called newspapers.

one of the best known of the famous
fighting M Cooks" of Ohio, about whom
q word or two may not be amiss.
The McCooks are often distinguished
as Of the Tribe of Dan" or the Tribe
of John" from their respective fathers
Major Daniel and DIR. John McCook,
who were brothers. These two men and
their ii sons served during the civil war
either in the United States army or navy,
and all but one of them were commission
ed officers. That one, q boy of Is. a SON of
Daniel McCook, died in his fathers
arms at the first battle of Bull Run, July
81, 1851. On the same date two years
later the father died of q wound received
in q skirmish with the forces OF General
John FL. Morgan at Bufington's island.
Major Daniel McCook had nine ons
in the country's service, of whom Gen.
eral Alexander Med. McCook was the
fifth. The general was born in Colum-
biana county, O., April 90, 1881, and
graduated from the Military academy at
West Point in 1852. He was appointed
captain in May, 1881, and was made colo
mel and brigadier general of volunteers
in the same year. In 1869 he was ap-
pointed a major general OF volunteers
and held that rank up to October, 1856,
when he resigned his volunteer commits
sion. He was appointed lieutenant colo
mel in March, 1855, and colonel Of the
Sixth infantry in December, 1880. After
1867 he served mainly with his regiment
on the western frontier, excepting the
period from 1875 to 1881, when he was
on the staff of General Sherman. In
May, 1885, he was placed in command of
the infantry and cavalry school at Fort
Leavenworth, where he remained until
he was promoted brigadier general upon
the retirement of General B. 81. Grier-

Snowman Monk pel.ed with Fruit.

A religious riot in miniature has taken
place at Nantes. Some Catholic youths
were passing through o fair when they
caught sight Of q booth labeled Sane
tum Sanctorum." The Snowman was
dressed in the rough robes and cowl OF q
Capuchin monk and professed to show
inside several relics or curiosities, in
GLIDING the apple which tempted Eve
and the whale which swallowed Jonah.
The youths, who were about 200 strong,
called ON the profane Barnum to desist
from his mockeries, but he only re-
doubled his patter and directed more at
tention to his show. A ~neighboring
orange merchant had to bear the conse-
qnences Of all this, for his stand was pill
LACED by the Catholics, who pelted the
Snowman with thefruitof the Hesperides
until he had to retreat inside what he
had really to use as q sanctuary for his
own protection. The police then came
mp and charged the rioters, who wanted
to wreak more effective vengeance on
the insulter Of religion.-Paris Core

LOVES THE SUNNY SOUTH.


Senator Blanchard's Wife Wakes Poetical
I'm Describing the Cotton Fields.
Mrs. Blanchard, wife of the new sena-
tor from Louisiana, is no stranger in
Washington society. During the 10 years
of her husbands service in the house of
representatives most of her time has
been spent at the capital, and Washing
ton has become q second home to her.
She is a very handsome woman, a little
above the medium height, with dark
hair, brown eyes, a good complexion and
a finely nodded figure, which is usually
attired in a handsome and becoming cos
tune. Her manner is cheerful and cor
dial, and she is a frank and pleasant
talker, discussing grave political ques-
tions with an ability and discrimination
beyond the ken of the average woman.
Like most southern women, Mrs.
Blanchard is thoroughly in love with
''the sunny southland" and grows elo-
Quent when she talks of it. Her memory
is stored with pleasant pictures of her
southern home, and in conversation with
a northern visitor she described a sugar
plantation in language that was really
poetical.
sour huge sugar plantations are beau
tiful," she said. ''There are acres of the
cane, like fields of corn, and down the
rows will go a band of negroes, cutting
it, piling it in wagons and hauling it
away to the mill, that grinds night and

According to a late report OF the dlrec-
tor of the mint, 1857 silver dollars with
the date 1904 were coined during that
year and to-day less than a dozen Of
them are known to be in existence and
each is worth a small fortune. There
were 10000 half dollars coined in the
same year; at present but n is known.
Whatever became OF the silver coinage
of that year is one OF the unsolved gov
ornamental mysteries, T~hirty-two years
later there were only 1000 Of the 1856
dollar pieces coined. Yet anyone who
has So to invest can get one of them for
a pocket piece. A cool $1,000 would not
buy an 1904.

Mitchell Republican, 2: The officers
OF the First Regiment, S. d. n. G., are
already ~agitating plans for holding an
encampment Of the guard during the
coming summer, and several places have
been suggested. OF course if there was
sufficient funds in the treasury, ii would
be highly proper to hold it mt Fl. Sisse-
ton; but there is not; aud il will be nec-
essary for some city in the state to Offer
IA purse for it it 1T is decided to hold one.
Among those looked upon with much
favor by the interested, Madison seems
to be first choice. Besides being one of
the most progressive nd delightful cities
IN the state, her advantages for an en-
campment are many and unequaled.
The beautiful Chautauqua grounds, Dor
dering Lake Madison, ate unsurpassed
by any spot in the state for natural ad-
vantages, and offer an ideal place for an
encampment. Ii its citizens should offer
reasonable encouragement, and the men
would vote to attend without their per
diem. there is no reason Why an epcamp.
ment could not be successfully held.

In regard TO the success of rain-makIng

ing reply: Replying to your letter of the
Goth list, as to rainmaking experiments,
| have TO inform you that in no case
did they pass the merely experimental
stage and that the prospect of ultimate
success is not such as to justify farmers
or other citizens in making rainmaking
experimentation. In this determine

experts in meteorology who are con-

HUTCHESON's SPEECH.

Washington, April 12.-Mr.
Hutcheson of Texas was again the
center OF attraction in the house TO
day. He gave Tom ROed such q
trouncing that democrats applaud
ed with cheers. Reed has been
dominating the house for weeks
very insolently, blocking the way
of all legislation and determined TO
stop at nothing short of forcing the
democrats 10 count quorum. He
made several haunting speeches to
day, which the helpless minority
heard in silence, mainly because it
knew how deserved his taunts
were. Bat HHtcheson led the on
slaught and gave Reed a very Sc
we're roasting. He said that in law
lessness and tyranny Reed had
made odious to the people the most
businesslike procedure possible in
the house. He had not been the
father of the Reed rules 90 called;
they existed long ago and he had
killed them. Instead of taking to
himself crown OF glory for their
origination, he should rather wear
a crown of thorns for their cruel
fixion.
The speech was very short but
very pointed and very bold, and
Reed said never a word in answer.
Hutchinson began the fight, how
ever, which afterwards wsged thick
and hot between the biggest guDs
in the house.

BON PEDRITO, THE MIRA
GLE WORKER.

San Antonio is much wrought
up over the alleged miraculous pow
ers of Don Pedrito, an aged MeIi-
can who formerly lived near Rio
Grande City, and is said to have
made some remarkable cures, and
TO whom people of ali classes are
focking by tho hundreds. The
Express gives the following &C
counts Of some Of the cures said to
have been effected by Don PedritO
which indeed seem to be miracles:
There can be no doubt but that
Don Pedrito has performed some
miraculous cures. How he does it
unless possessed with supernatural
power, is a mystery. He has pre-
scribed for some gentlemen of high
standing in San Antonio and the
cures completely effected show that
there is not SO much humburg
about him as some people seem in
clined to think.

Tuthers, the present street commits
