1t 10 Claimed that KasPareA i
Never Became a Citizen
Under the Laws
Ellenbecker Will Try and
2 Serve the County Two
" Yeara More. #@

Frank Ellenbecker, who carried
two or three OF the twenty-six pre-
cincts in the county ,forcounty audit
or, will claim that his successful Op-
pOnent, Valentine +. kasparek, ia
not a citizen of the United States,
and therefore not qualified to fill the
office. 1t seems that Kasparek was
born in Europe, and canl:. to this
country with his parents when two
years of age. His father took out
lfis first papers lii 1873, at st. Cloud,
but never completed his citizenship!
Valentine supposed that his father
had become a citizen many years
ago, and the father also supposed
So, and had told his son that
he had. He supposed there was no
question on, that point until Mr..
Ellenbecker raised the question afew
days ago. 1t is not possible to say
what the outcome will he, but, from
present information. it seems certain
that Ellenbecker will continue his
fat job, at probably an increase in
salary.
The campaign last fall is still a
pleasant memory, and it ia hard to
realize that it was all a dream about
Meyer. Goulet, Ellenbecker, Brick
and Stangl. Well. there is some
thing to look forward to in two
years from now. Just think-a 80
document and five changed votes
would have planted the whole out
fit. Still-there then wouldn't be
any Democratic office holders to
wipe the earth with in '96. Now
there is something to live. for.

Everybody Busy.

Upon visiting the West side Thurs
day we. found all the mills and
machine shops runningful blast and
everyone busy. The pulp and PAPER
mills are running with larger crews
than usual and manufacturing more
paper than ever before. The Inter-
state Milling company are running
night and day and every man is kept
hustling to fill ORDERS, A good deal
of wheat is being purchased from the
farmers for which spot cash is paid.
Ed Mahan's wood working factory
fs doing Il good business, and the
machines are kept in motion con-
stantly. 1t is something new for a
factory of this kind 10 have SO much
work on hand this time of the year.
but Ed is a rustler for trade and il
getting it. John Dennis machine
shop and foundry is doing an ex-
cellent business. He has II contract
for turning out a large number oi
cast iron sleigh shoes, and when
work slacks up little in the
machine shop he turns his attention
to the foundry. Van Buskirk Bros.
machine shop is running steadily
making repairs on machinery for
different parties. The Interstate
Milling company's cooper shop is
running q crew Of eight men and a
a large number of barrels are being
turned out daily. The Pine Tree
company's planning mill is running
constantly and the loading crew ia
kept busy loading cars for shipments.
On the East side Rassier's, Lauer-
man Bros, and johnson & Roy's
wagon shops are running on full
time and turning out as much work
as ut any time of the year. The
blacksmith and horse shOeing shops
are we'll tllled with work and every
body seems to be busy.
With the merchants business seems
to be good and they are kept busy
waiting on people in search Of
holiday goods.
Taking everything together, the
business outlook is much better than
{, year ego, and there are fewer cases
of destitution than last winter.
After the holidays the log train
will be put on to haul logs from
Lincoln to Little Falls for the Pine
Tree company and this will give
employment to a few more men and
bring more money iOtO the city.

from the Third ward, left these parts
about ten days ago for a short trip
to Dakota, not expecting to be gone
over three or four days. As he wen t
away leaving his tag at home his
Third ward friends are getting quite
anxious as to his whereabouts. The
only explanation they can give is
that walking is poor. Any infor-
nation will be thankfully accepted

TWO CLEVER CONS CAPTURED.
Sergeant Shea Makes an Important Cap
ture Near 81. Cloud.

Sergeant Shea Makes an Important Cap
ture Near 81. Cloud.
Sergeant Shea made an important cap
ture last week on the Great Northern
passenger train while on his return to
Great Falls from his vacation trip. He
had been told while in st. Paul by Chief
Detective Mobiles Of the Great Northern
that some clever confidence men had
been working their game Systematically,
but had so far avoided capture. He was
given description Of the leader Of the
gang, who was known to the st. Paul
police as "Deafy' from the fact that he
pretended TO be very hard of hearing,
but whose true name was Frank
Schletzer. He is OF Jewish extraction
and features, and was described as no
torious and very clever confidence man
and thief The day prior to Mr.. Shea's
starting for home a conductor who
spotted him tried TO arrest HIM but was
stood off with gun. and Deafy made
his escape as soon as the tram stopped,
Hearing these particulars. Officer Shea
was ON the lookout, and just before
reaching st. Cloud spotted the man.
| he watched hlm Work his game IN
the opposite seat. He approached
a farmer and asked for change
for $40 bill, which was given
him and he handed the granger in return
81 Canadian bill with the figure '20'
cut from a cigar label and pasted over
the figure on the bill so cleverly that
it was not noticed. and the swindled
granger put the bogus $50 in his pocket
quite satisfied, At this point in the pro-
ceedings Shea stepped in and arrested
the man, much to the farmers astonish-
ment, who persisted that the transaction
was all right, until his attention was
directed to the bogus figures on the bill
1t was then discovered that two other
men on the train had changed $40 bills
for the same party with the same result
and further investigation resulted in the
arrest of a confederate Of "Deafys," who
, had been trying the same game on the
train, though not with the same success
Sergeant Shea today received a tele
I. gram from Chief Detective John Conners
: of st. Paul. asking him to come on as g
, witness, and he will probably leave to
morrow for st. Cloud to give his tes
timopy in the case.

Auxiliary Organizations Also Held
Their Regular Annual
Meetings.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Sept. l2.--While 20O,.
600 persons have left the city since yes
terday, there are still 100000 strangers
in town. The National Encampment, q.
A. r., opened this morning in the new
Grand opera house. The delegates we're
welcomed on behalf of the citizens exc
cutive committee by the chairman, Dan
iel c. Crippley and w. g. Quincy. Gov
ernor Pattison welcomed them on be-
half of the state, Mayor McKenna on be-
half of Pittsburg, and Mayor Kennedy
of Allegheny on behalf of that city. The
election of commander in chief will not
be held until tomorrow. Since the with
drawal of Judge Charles d. Long OF
Michigan, the opinion is rapidly growing
that Col. l. n. Walker of Indiana will se-
cure the coveted honor. The Woman s
Relief Corps ladies Of the q. A. Il. and
Daughters of Veterans are also holding
conventions The staff Of Capt. Jack
Adams, the retiring commander in chief,
presented him and his wife last night
with diamond souvenirs. Mrs. Adams
was honored by being elected an honor
ary member Of the staff. She is the sec
ond woman to receive such a compli'
ment, the wife of General Alger being
the first. The annual reports Of national
officers were read. Commander in Chiei
Adams reported the total membership
at 369O74 against 39S.223 year ago
Each succeeding year, he said, will show
decrease. The interest in the order
however, has grown stronger. When the
last comrade has been mustered out the
G. A. r. should cease to exist, but the
Sons of Veterans would carry on it,
work The pension department of th'
order has investigated all cases of alleged
pension frauds. Very few frauds wer'
discovered and they we're the work o
agents. Adams complained that tn
pension office, in violation of the intended
liberality of the act Of June 27, 1880, re
jected every claim about which there wa
the slightest doubt. The committee Of
legislation reported that the greatest in
difference seems to have been shown o.
the part of our lawmakers towards tn
veterans and urged G. A. r. members t
use their influence with the senator
and representatives to give preference i
every public employment to the surviN
ors of the war. Maj. A. Ii. Birchfield, o
behalf of the citizens, presented tn
commander in chief with gavel mad

. with metal from historic cannon.

publican national convention Tom Reed
will be candidate for first place on the
ticket. All New England will be solid
for him, and the delegates from Maine
will be for him first, last and all the

Tom Reed could have had the second
place on the ticket as gift, but he
didn't care for it, and neither will he in
'9G accept the second place"
"Under the conditions it is preposter-
Gus to assume that any deal is likely to
be made looking to Reed and Mckinley
or vice versa, for the reason that il is
known that Governor Mckinley is also a
candidate for the first place. There is
no foundation for any claim on the part
OF any friend of Governor Mckinley that
Tom Reed was antagonistic to his can
didacy for the the presidency in 1892.
Mckinley himself during the week Of
the convention, went among the dele

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-Secretary
Carlisles determination to appoint CON-
missioners composed of customs house
inspectors and treasury officials to make
regulations to carry into effect the sugar
schedule of the new tariff law was Just
what the sugar trust wanted him to do.
The more complicated these regulations
are made the better it will suit the trust
and such a commission as Mr.. Carlisle
has named will be sure to make them
complicated. The agents Of the sugar
trust have been little anxious about
the construction that might be put on
the confectionery clause Of the sugar
schedule which says that refined sugar
"tinctured, colored or adulterated may
be imported under 35 per cent ad
valorem duty" It has been claimed
that by the addition or little coloring
or adulterant ordinary refined sugar
could be brought in under that clause
The question will probably be settled by
Mr.. Carlisle's commission, but the agents
Of the trust appear to have little doubt
of its being settled as they wish it to be
30 as to keep foreign refined sugar out
the market unless it pays the differential
duty of one-eighth Of one cent pound
in addition to the 40 per cent ad valorem
| imposed upon raw sugar.

DISTINGUISHED ARREST.

State Officers of Mississippi Are Hauled
Up Before Court.
JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 1l.-Warrants
have been sworn out for the arrest of
the following state officers: j. M. Stone,
governor; w. w. Stone, auditor, and j. j.
Evans, state treasurer. w. j. Burns,
special agent Of the secret service bureau
at Washington, made the warrants be-
fore Commissioner L. H. Mosely, charg
ing them with violating section 543O Of
the revised statutes of the United States,
in issuing 100000 of Mississippi special
warrants, charged with similarity to
United States currency. Auditor Stone
appeared before the commissioner and
entered into personal recognizance for
$1,000 for his appearance in November.
The warrants for Governor Stone and
Treasurer Evans will be served today.
Governor Stone was seen and said that
the state officials had no purpose to
violate any United States law; that the
matter was now to come before q court
for which he had the greatest respect
and in which he had the utmost conf
dence. He did not care therefore to
publicly discuss the matter.
