In last weeks issue of this paper it
was stated that the cost of board at
the Winona Normal was higher than
at st. Cloud. The adv. should state
that it was the same. It can be made
less by taking meals at the Home ta-
BILE at 1925 per week and roominp
with private family. The Winona
Normal has two courses for high
school graduates; one course of one
year leading to the elementary course
diploma and the other of two years
leading to the advanced course di-
ploma.

Booze Hughes, hearing the electric
belt man last Monday evening lecture
on the wonderful powers of the belt,
made purchase of one with the OBJ

add that while our brother may have
been after something for nothing he
got the best of the con man and his
and his lady friend because the belt
is having a wonderful effect.

A POSTAL hUTOCRAT.

A POSTAL hUTOCRAT.
The five thousand or more readers
of The GAZETTE last week we're all
more or less curious to know why they
did not receive all of their paper-or
rather, why small slip was cut out
of the fifth column of the fifth page.
The slip contained an item giving the
mere news facts of the securing of a
bicycle for SO cents by G.. A. Scott of
the st. Louis Wrought Iron Range
Co.
The youthful autocrat presiding ov-
or the Redwood Falls postofice op-
ened a package of The GAzErrEs ad-
dressed to another town on the
Wednesday afternoon that the papers
we're put in the office, and catching
sight of the news item called the edit
or of this paper to his Office and in
billingsgate language demanded
whether he was not aware that the
lottery law was against the publica-
ton of the news item and insisting
that the papers could not pass through
his postoffice with the item in them.
The papers were brought back to The
GAZETTE office and two men gave a
days time to unfolding, cutting out
the item, refolding and remailing the
entire edition, except two or three that
turned up missing.
During the past month The GAZETTE
has been exceedingly severe in it's
language against the Democratic adj
ministration for it's treatment of pen
sioneers. The postmaster has taken
it upon himself to secure revenge for
Grover and his emissaries and on a
mere technically, if even that, he re-
fused the last issue of this paper, and
had the publishers refused to cut out
the news item in question the legality
of the issue would have been brought
into courts for settlement. An item
previously published in this paper
relative to the securing of a bicycle by
a lady of this town and also published
in two or three dailies and a good
many weeklies was never taken excep-
ton to by the kid, and yet the news
was of the same purport published in
the item cut from last weeks paper.
An extra issued by another paper,
having an entirely different head from
the regular issue, and containing
three pages of advertising matter not
published in the regular edition be-
fore or after the regular edition ap-
peared, was allowed to pass through
his Office. That was not technicality
1t was clear and distinct violation of
the postal law.
Hereafter, as in the past, The GA
zETTE will continue to give all the
news, notwithstanding this interior
ence with the liberty of the press and
freedom of speech. It will continue
to defend the soldier who is deserv-
ing of pension and will criticise ev-
cry action of the administration made
against the soldier and tending to de-
ceive the public. Beardless kids. act
ing as postal agents, at least, will have
no effect on it's policy.

THE MICHIGAN MINERS.
Ishpeming and Negaunee Men Hold a
Demonstration.

Ishpeming, Mich, Aug. 6.-Mayor
Johnson has received a telegram from
Gov Ricn urging the prevention of in
reference with any person enga ged
in legitimate pursuits. Rev. William
Coad, chairman of the miners union,
processes willingness to assist in
maintaining order, but doubts the
ability of himself and other leaders
to quiet some of the strikers who are
suspicious of outsiders. The Ishpem-
ing strikers after a meeting in the
rain yesterday went to Negaunee and
held a joint demonstration. Chief APP
prehension was the possibility that
the rain might drive the miners into
the Negaunee saloons and they would
return intoxicated and Infatuated.
Mayor Johnson has sent a demand
to Marquette to the sheriff to come
here.

WAYNE CELEBRATION.
1t Is Held in Ohio Amid a Great
COncOurSe.

Greenyille, Ohio, Aug. 5.-The year
1895 marks the centennial epoch Of
the conquest of the Indian nation and
the establishment of peace in the ter
Titory now comprised in the state OF
Ohio and adjacent country northwest
of the Ohio river. The territory which
was the field Of action for the expedi-
lions of Harmar, st. Clair and Wayne,
is situated northwest of the Ohio river,
east of the Mississippi river and south
of the great lakes. During the ad-
journed session Of the SEVENTEEN gen
eral assembly of. Ohio Harvey c. Gar
Der introduced a resolution, which
passed both branches Of the legislature
March %, 1892, and which authorized
the governor of Ohio to invite the
states Of Pennsylvania, Virginia and
Kentucky, which furnished most of the
soldiers in the campaign Of 1874, to
send representative to participate in
an anniversary celebra ton, and also
the states of Indiana, Illinois, Michi-
gan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, which
states, with Ohio, comprised the terri
tory northwest Of the Ohio river, to

Little Rock, Ark, Aug. 5.-AttOrney
Capps, Of Fort Worth, Texas, reached
Little Rock from Chicago yesterday
morning and had a consultation with
the convict Allen at the Arkansas
penItenuary concerning the celebrat-
ed Holmes case. 1t is the belief here
that Allen knows nothing that will
faSten any crime ON Holmes and his
only object in claiming to be in pos
session of vital evidence was for the
purpose of obtaining a pardon. The
Chicago detective has not shown I'D
and Capp says that lie will not come
as the authorities have lost faith in
Aliens story.
Capps was interviewed after his
talk with the convict. He said he
does not believe Allen knows any
thing about the Holmes crimes that
would hang him. Caps is positive
Allen knows something of Holmes
sWlndling operations, but that is the
extent of his knowledge. He could
not be pardOned unless possessed of
knowledge which would hang Holmes.
Capp thinks that Allen has told all
that he knows and is now bidding
for cheap notoriety and immunity
from labor
Capps does not believe ALIENS story
that Minnie Williams was alive six
months ago. While in Chicago he
traced the girls up TO within a few
days of their disappearance. Mamie
was murdered July 3, 1898, and Min
ME between June 80 and July of the
same year. Allen may believe that
Minnie is still alive and Capps doubts
not but Allen could produce letters
reputed to be from her; but he is con-
fident that they are forgeries for
which Holmes is probably response
ole or of which he is cogniZant. 81
am sure that Allen was in Fort
Worth at the time he Claims said
Capps. ''rhe report that he was in the
Tennessee penitentiary at that time is
not true. He was the mascot of

Chicago, Aug. Al. l.. Conner. form
erly the husband of Julia L Conner,
who was wysteriously disposed of,

II. II. Holmes, will swear out TWO
warrants Monday. One will be for
the arrest of Holmes on the charge of
numbering Mrs. Conner and her daugh-
ter Pearl, and the other will be for
Patrick Quinlan on the same charge
Corners determination to take this
course was reached last night after an
unsatisfactory attempt to discover just
how far Quinlan is implicated with
Holmes in the disappearance of this
mother and child. Corners action in
taking out the warrants will also
serve to spur the police to new efforts
to conclusively prove that Quinlan,

Omaha, Aug. 1.-The A. p A. com
bine which is attempting to control
the police and fire department will
not be able to make another move be-
fore next Tuesday. The district court
heard arguments yesterday on the in
junction restraining the new commits
sion from acting. The decision will
be rendered Tuesday. The court in
timated that ii it's mandates are again
ignored by members Of the city coun-
Gil or others they will be Jailed. In
the meantime the old board runs the
city. After converting court Judge
HopeWell, of the district court, said
that on Friday there was presented
before him, at Tekahama, a verified
petition asking that an injunction be
issued against the city council re-
straining them from approving the
bonds of Breach, VandervOOrt and
Foster, who claimed to hold appoint
mentS as members of the fire and pO-
lice commission. He had examined
the petition and found it duly drawn
as provided by the statutes. He could
do nothing, had he desired, other than
to issue an order. In order that all
parties might have notice and be
given a chance to show why such an
injunction should not be issued, he
had set the hearing in Omaha at 10
O'Clock Saturday morning. He there
fore wrote a program notifying the
president and members of the city
council of the temporary restraining
order He then took the evening train
for Omaha to be present at the hear
ing. When he reached Omaha he was
surprised to find that the restraining
order of the court had been ignored.
He expressed regret that this com
plication had arisen, but as judge it
was his duty to see that the court
was honored and Obeyed. The situa-
ton was such that he could not ig-
more it.
Judge DOane, of the old commission,
stated that the question of integrity
OF the court was at stake. He appre-
ciated the embarrassment of the court
and hoped that the dispute would
properly be brought to an issue in the
court and SO bring about a peaceable
determination of the controversy.
None of his clients had any intention
to make it unpleasant for the other
side, but it was the duty of a judge
to protect the honor of the courts of
the people. at is evident" continued
Judge Doane, that if the processes
of the court are ignored the city will
be plunged into anarchy. In a spirit
of fairness | would offer that the
affair be passed until the beginning of
next week and that both sides get to-
gether and agree on a case that will
present to the supreme court the
questions at issue for amicable ad-
juStment. -

want all able bodied men to come. The
time has come for us to raise our

and chiefs sat still. The appointment
Of General Anthony Wayne, who sue
ceeded General st. Clair after the lat
ter had met with such a disastrous de-
feat, was not we'll received in Virginia,
but President Washington, in answer
to an objection raised against him, re-
piled:
General Wayne has many good
points as an officer, and it is to be
hoped that time, reflection, good advice
and. above all, a due sense of the i'm
portance of the trust which is COM

This proved true. The Indians said
Of him that he never slept, and, not
withstanding their keen watchfulnesS,
had never been able to surprise him.
General Wayne was a Pennsylvania
by birth and that state took a prom
inent part in the celebration. Its
