CAPT. SANDERS ROAR.
He Says It's a Disgrace to Belong
to Any Political Party.

Capt. Sanders, the St. Paul capital
list, who has several farms in this
county, has been in the city during
the past week. The Captain is some
what of pessimist over the way the
affairs of government are conducted,
or would be conducted, in case if any
of the political parties now on the sur
face should have an opportunity to
conduct them. He submitted to an
interview last Saturday, and when the
reporter asked him whether he had vot-
ed on the right side, he replied:

side, sir? No, sir, did not vote at all.
Our government is farce. It don't
make any difference which party gets
in. They are all the same. All of the
men elected to office are looking for
money. Office-seeking is Doodle seek

are after slice. Let the government
be Populist, let it be Democrat, let it
be Republican, let it be anything, it
would be just the same"
"But Captain, haven't the people
showed that they would rally to the
cause of what they believed was right
in the recent victory?'
"They merely voted against the
party that had sold itself. Yes sir,
sold itself in Congress. The sugar
trust bought the senate. The lower
house of congress sold itself wherever
it got the opportunity. The members
are only thinking of the present. They
are after the money. They forget the
people as soon as they are elected, and
go off to the congress or the legisla-
ture to make what they can. Yes sir,
it is a fact. The people are to blame
for it. So many Of them are seeking
for Doodle in election themselves that
they encourage it. Well, the Demo
Gratis have been swept out of power.
Now, the Republicans are coming in.
Well see what they will do. They

COURT CLOSED.
Disposition of Criminal Cases and
Law ViolatOrS.

District court came to a close last
Friday, after ten days of hard work
on the part of Judge and jury. The
last four days we're devoted to the
trial of criminal cases. The jury in
the case of the State vs.. John Rohrer,
Eb. Watson and U. S. Grant, indicted
for the larceny of wheat, returned q
verdict of not guilty against Rohrer,
and Immediately after the verdict was
reported Sheriff Wichman, of Renville
county, arrested Rohrer on the charge
of stealing wheat over in that county.
Rohrer gave bail for his appearance at
the next term of court in that county.
The indictments against Grant and
Watson we're dismissed. Baldwin &
Mcleod were the attorneys for the de-
Tense.
Attorney Bowers, who appeared for
Harry Munsell, the boy arrested for
the larceny of some articles from the
residence of G. D. Thompson, secured
disagreement of the jury. After this
was reported County Attorney Pierce
moved the dismissal of the case, (which
was readily granted.
John McIlreavie was found guilty
of the larceny of some trinkets from
the residence of Romano johnson, and
was sentenced to the Saltwater peni-
Tertiary upon the reformatory plan,
giving the prison inspectors the right
to release the young man on parole
whenever he shows disposition to
reform.
Ernest Davis was found guilty of
stealing an overcoat from the livery
stable of H. D. Everett, and was sent
to the St. Cloud reformatory to learn
a trade, and from which institution he
can be released on parole at any time
that he proves himself capable of
keeping in the path of the law.
Judge Baldwin and Attorney Olson
secured victory in the acquittal of
Geo. Brown, who was arrested and in
dicted for selling liquor to minor,
one Wilbur Merriam. It appears that
Merriam had secured drinks from the
saloons of White & Hudson and John
Frank, as we'll as that of Mr.. Browns,
and they were all indicted. Merriam,
however, had told them that he was
~ years of age. He has also been
getting drunk frequently. After Mr..
Brown was acquitted the cases against
the other two firms were dismissed.

FARMERS INSURANCE.
An Annual Meeting and a Change
of Name.

The Farmers Alliance Insurance
Co., of the Town of Vail, held meet
ing at Thompson's hall last Saturday
afternoon, and among other things
accomplished, was the changing of
the name to the Farmers Alliance In
surance Co., of Redwood county,
thereby giving it larger field for
business. The report of Secretary
Stewart was read and accepted, after
which T. D. Barber, M. Bredvold, T..
L. Gilbert, John Longbottom, VIM.
Steele, A. D. Stewart and Thos. A.
March were chosen directors for the
ensuing year. The directors immedi-
ately held meeting and elected NJ.
Bredvold, President, A. D. Stewart,
secretary, and Thos. D. Barber, treas
urer. Mr.. Lankard's retirement from
the Presidency was at his own request
and on account of his new official
duties. 1t was voted to charge double
rate on school house insurance, and to
abolish special agents and make T. l..
Gilbert general soliciting agent for
the county. The deficiency, which
has been the result of too low assess
ments for the past three years, was
borrowed at the bank, and it is ex-
pected that the next assessment will
take up all outstanding indebtedness.
The report of the secretary is as fol-

a profitable business. With this s,
removed it is claimed that the business
Will still be profitable, as logs can bt
brought across and manufactured or
the Michigan side at smaller cost
than can the lumber into which they
might be made. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, that should an import
duty be placed on logs it would work a
serious hardship on the Michigan
lumbermen, who have large lumber
interests in Canada, who would be
forced to give up their mills on this
side and remove them to Canada"
The same authority also takes little
stock in the argument that the Puget
Sound and California lumbermen will
suffer, or that southern lumber will
suffer from Canadian competition in
eastern cities. On the latter point the
Mississippi Valley Trade Journal
interestingly states:
Lumber cannot be manufactured
cheap enough in Canada, with their
less improved mills and less skilled
labor, to be transported to the consum-
ing points in the east at great dis
tance, to compete with southern
lumber, even if the present duty OF 81
per thousand feet is removed. The
Lumberman does not believe that the
southern lumber interest, nor those of
the north and west, will be seriously
affected should this duty be removed.

Baking THE UMBRELLA THIEF.
An automatically Returnable Rain
Shield Invented.

Another lohg-felt want is about to
be filled. Drawings for the invention
were received at the patent Office only
few days ago, and the man, who, by
the way, is a Washingtonian, is pre-
pairing to build him a new house in
the most fashionable part OF the city
with the prospective funds from his
invention. 1t is nothing less than an
automatically returnable umb, ,ella.
That is, one that will make its own
arrangements for its return to its
owner when lost. The nomadic habit
of umbrellas, especially when left I'M
chained in the neighborhood of a
crowd, has long been a subject OF COM
ment, and it has been a serious ques-
ton whether the trouble were alto
gether with the morals of the umbrella
that would 60 off and lose itself, or an
innate depravity OF the umbrella-using
public that made findings keepings
without much inquiry as to the ident-
ity Of the loser.
The new, nom -losable umbrella does
not differ essentially from the ordinary
article, says the Washington Post, ex-
cept that it has little stouter handle.
Herein is concealed the working part
of the device. 1t is a compactly ar.
ranged phonograph, with a multiply
ing reverberator, enabling it to be
heard for, say the length Of street
car or in a good-sized hallway. In
connection with the phonograph is
combination lock which sets the ma
chine in action. The owner of the
umbrella, in setting it down simply
switches the combination on ar soon
as it is picked up the phonograph gets
in its work. The remarks can be ar
ranged according to the taste in ora
tory of the man who owns the UNI
brella and can range from a politely
couched request not to disturb the
rain protector to a stentorian cry of
" Stop Thief" or This fellow is steal
ing another mans umbrella" or any
other exclamation of more forcible
nature, the strength of the language
being only limited by the local mu-
nicipal ordinances regarding profanity.

Free Lunl Der.

"The lumber interest of Minnesota,
Wisconsin or Michigan, excepting
those Of the northern part OF the latter,
will be little affected by the placing OF
lumber on the free list, providing
Congress 80 sees fit"
The above is the editorial opinion OF
the Mississippi Valley LunsJerman, the
trade organ of the largest numbering
interest in the United States. The
Zimmerman discusses the effects OF
tariff reduction under the Mckinley
law and probable effects under the
Wilson bill as follow:
"Severai years ago the Canadian ex-
port duty on logs was removed in con-
sideration OF the reduction by the Nc.
kinley bill OF the duty on Canadian
lumber imported into this country Of
from 50 to 81. By the Wilson bill
this last 81 will be removed. The Nc.
Kinley bill took off half the duty on
lumber, and the industry was not
seriously affected. With the 81 import
duty provided by the Mckinley bill
and no export duty on logs, the
Saginaw lumbermen have been doing

what a IS ~Veleran,s IL.

Aquestion of interest to soldiers and
sailors OF the late war, and to enlisted
men of the regular service will soon be
decided by the navy department. It
relates to the preference which ap-
pointment officers must show, accord
ing to law, to veterans" who have
passed satisfactory examinations for
appointment to positions under the
government.
An employe of the navy yard
brought the question to the attention
of Secretary Herbert. He has been
refused preference" by a naval officer
on the ground that his service in .
Maine regiment from early in 1866 to
the end OF the war did not entitle him
to classification as veteran.
The question has never been de-
finitely decided, although many opin-
ions have been rendered by various
government officers, and the navy de-
partment has secured all OF these, and
also informal opinions of other persons
in authority. The war department.
Webster's Dictionary and the second
auditor OF the treasury practically
agree ,.s to the definition, and if these
three authorities have weight in de-
termining the question submitted to
Secretary Herbert, many applications
for employment under the navy de-
partment, at least, will be affected.
Webster says that in the United
States q veteran ;s one who had served
one enlistment during the civil war
and had re-enlisted.
In an order issued in 1868 the war
department says men "who have
served for not less than nine months
can be re-enlisted veteran volunteers u
The present second auditor OF the
treasury gives an informal opinion
that to be enrolled as veteran requires
two enlistments. The soldiers must
have served at least nine months oI
the first enlistment, and then re-en.
listed for three years during the war.
The chief clerk OF the pension office
also holds that two enlistments are
required.
On March 2, 1893, the war depart
ment decided that enlisted men who
have served twelve years or more
continually or otherwise, shall be
classified as veterans.

MANUFACTURERS AND DEALERS
AGREE UPON PRICES.

Seattle Telegraph.
The shinglemen of Washington and
Oregon are organized. After a two
days session they have come to an
understanding and there is every
reason to believe that the future of the
shingle business in ....s State will be
much brighter than the past has been.
A scale of prices has been adopted
satisfactory to both manufacturer and
dealer. Should any member of either
the manufacturers or dealers associa-
tion sell shingles at prices other than
those adopted, the combined executive
committee is empowered to suspend
association prices. Very little trouble
is feared in that direction, however, as
the shinglemen are unanimous in the
belief that if they are to reap any
profit from their business they must
work in harmony.
Yesterday was the busiest session
that the shinglemen of the two States
have attended for long time. 1t was
held at the Arlington hotel. The
manufacturers, who adjourned at
ii o'clock Thursday evening, COM
menced about 9:30 o'clock in the
morning to dispose of some matters
which had not been given attention
at Thursdays meeting. An executive
committee was appointed by the
trustees consisting of the following
four gentlemen C. d. Stimson, OF
Seattle; E. NJ. Goss of Buckley; G. II.
Pritchard, of Tacoma, and d. H. De-
Cam of Whatcom.
A scale OF prices as prepared by the
III trustees of the manufacturers as
sociation was then introduced and
after some short discussion, adopted.
The scale ia M follows.
