GOODYEAR WELT SYSTEM.
An Exhibition Given at RObinsos
Eros. Shoe Store.

Robinson Bros, the enterprising
shoe firm on West First South street.
are exhibiting the Goodyear welt sys-
TEN in their shoe window. and all af-
ternOon yesterday a. curious crowd was
investigating the process from the side
walk.
The machines and methods were ez,-
hTbited at the Worlds fair. T Z.
Johns represented the Goodyear shoe
firm, Of Chicago, and is establishing
the instruments in the work shop above
the Robinson shoe store. William
Clayton, an Englishman, has been en-
gagged to operate them and the firm is
now prepared to turn out a. better ar
ticle of shoes at the same money than
it has ever sold before.
In the window are exhibited the wels
sewer, which performs the work Of
sewing a sole to an upper-a task that
consumes two hours of the time of a
Skillful ShoemakeT-in eight seconds.
The other and smaller machine, which
is seen in the window, is the rapid
stEtcher, an instrument that stitches
the sole along the outer edge, doing
tine same work in eight seconds, which
cannot be done by hand in less than
three-quarter of an hour. Upstairs in
the workroOm are the welt heaters and
rounds, machines that make an equal
saving of time and do their work fault
lessly.
This system said Mr.. Johns. '"gives
the advantage of handwork done by
machine. " do not claim that the
work done is better than the best dona
by hand, but it is equally as good and
can be done at a much less expense to
the purchaser" The Goodyear Shoe
company gets a. royalty of cents on
each pair of shoes manufactured by
this system. and the machines ars
leased for $500.
The system combines we'll with the
other appliances in the workshop and is
a great improvement in the way OF
labor saving and excellence Of work.

UNwRITTEN TESTIMONY.
Much OF 1t Behind the L. z. Fore
closure Suits.

closure Suits.
Omaha. Jan. 23.-The Omaha Bee tonight
locally says:
There is a great deal OF unwritten his
terry connected with the recent foreclosure
suit brought by the trustees of the first
mortgage bonds of the Union Pacific in
st. Louis last week AS early as last July
Judge Sanborn intimated to the trustees
OF the first mortgage bonds that an action
in foreclosure would have to be brought
in order to keep the stockholders inter
est in the property subject to the direction
of the court. otherwise the court might
decide to transfer the direction of the
property back TO the direction OF the
company.
There are so many contracts which, in
the present depressed condition Of business
operate against the advancement OF tire
Union Pacific system, that il has become
essentially necessary to have THESE con-
tracts amended or revised along lines
favorable to one of the parties, at least,
to the contract. This could not be done
without foreclosure, and in order TO clear
the decks for reorganization II was ne
cided to bring a. suit in foreclosure, which
would have been necessary under any
circumstances if u readjustment Of pres
ent difficulties was at all desirable.
AS these suits in foreclosure are brought
upon various lines and the present re-
ceiyers are appointed under the bills OF
complaint, the old suits brought by the
stocEholders begin to grow less burden
some and finally the receivers un'ieT the
new suits cease to have any interest in
the old cases and they are removed from
court so to speak.
Under foreclosure suits, the earnings
are kept separate; the court directs what
use is to be made of certain funds and
gradually the end approaches when the
property is to be offered for sale. So the
grind of the court reduces the many
Complications until the final run is made,
when the property is in a position to be
taken from its actual value in reorganl-
zation.
It is pretty generally understood that
all the foreclosure proceedings brought
on the various properties formerly con-
shutting the Union Pacific system, VIII

Topeka, Kan, Jan. .2s.-Subpoenaes have
been issued for over 1000 settlers on lands
purchased from the Union Pacific rail-
road in Dickinson, Ellsworth and Saline
counties. They are asked to cnswer q suit
brought by the government to Gust them

Union Pacific by an act of Congress, and
afterwards sold 10 the settlers. The
government claims that the grant was

claim holds the farmers have scalt

Another Marysva1e strike.

Another rich strike has been made
on Mt. Badly, discovered between the
Annie Laurie mine and the Surprise on
the Congress mining claim owned by
e. L. Black and William Johnson, says
the Richf1eld Advocate. The ore re-
sernbles that of the Sewer, as it has

three feet four inches wide and has
well-defned walls of porphyry foot and

other Loss.

Silver registered another loss Of one
point yesterday, the quotation at which
settlements were made at the smell
ters III the valley being 593s cents, as
compared with 591a cents on the day
before. This makes a full half cent
which the metal has lost since the
opening of the week and such a state
of affairs does not infuse any spirits
into the local mining world, but, on
the other hand, is having a very de-
pressing effect.
Influenced by a better demand at the
seaboard, lead has remained firm at
$3.021s since the recent advance. but it
is not anticipated that there Viii be

rich ore was never discovered until
of late. The owners of the mine have
two miners at work driving a tunnel to
tap the vein about one hundred and
fifty feet deep. The tunnel is in about
forty feet at present and 1t is intended,
if the owners finance will allow it, to
continue to work until it strikes the
vein below, and still continue to develop
it, as they think it too valuable a
property TO be Idle 1t is to be hoped
that this new discovery will tend to
help out our camp next summer.

The premium list for the seth annual
state fair, to be held commencing the
week of Sept. 9, has just been issued
by the Minnesota State Agricultural
Society. Included in the offers of prizes
are premiums amounting to $4,000
for horses, the same amount for cattle,
and still other sums for other animals
and exhibits of work of various indust-

Minnesota Second.

John Berkenbine, the iron expert OF
Philadelphia, has prepared for the de-
partment of mineral resources of the
United States geological survey an ex-
haustive report of the iron ore resources
of the world in which the production of
iron ore in 1898 is estimated at about
SO, 500, 900 tons.
The portion of this report relating to
the United States shows that the total
production of iron ore in this country
in 1894 was 11,S79,679 tons of 2,24O
pounds as compared with 11,5s7.627
tons in 1898.
Twenty-four states produce iron ore
in 1894, ranging in amount from 4,113,-
O63 tons, in Michigan, to 1915 tons from
Maryland. Most of the increase noted
was in the Lake Superior region, Min
nesota showing the greatest increase.
1,499, 297 tons in 1898 to 2,96S, 463 tons in
1894, ranking second among the iron
producing states, while in 1893 she was
third.
Michigan continues to be the largest
producer, holding this rank for six
years.

The monthly report of the state
board of corrections and charities IS
sued gives the following information:
The number of inmates of the state

same as the increase shown year ago,
making total increase of 994 for the
two years. There were present in the
state institutions 5,013 inmates on April
80, 1895. There has been an increase
during the past year in the population
of every state institution except the
state prison and the state reforma tory,
which show decrease of nine prison
ers, but this decrease is owing to the
discharge of United States prisoners

Dun Thinks the Rise in Wheat May Prove
Calamitous.

Calamitous.
NEW YORK, May 27.-R. G. Dun &
Co. IS weekly review OF trade says:
If wheat has been so greatly injured by the
SHOWS and frosts in May that the sudden rise
Of IL cents in two weeks is justified, the calam.
ity will affect all business prospects. The
markets do not believe it, for stocks do
not collapse, iron, leather and hides
still rise. and no holders of wheat would sell
at 80 cents, a lower price than had been known
at this season for thirty years prior to 1893, if
current reports were credited. Some in
jury has undoubtedly been sustained, but
our own dispatches do not show that it is
really serious. The fact is that relief
from long anxiety and the abundance and
cheapness of money for which industry and
legitimate trade give as yet no adequate de-
mand, have excited the speculative spirit be-
yond all restraint. The hot fever will have
nothing to do with cold facts. The temper is
to buy, regardless of visible requirements, in
the faith that prices are sure to rise.
Wild excitement in wheat with sales in
one day at Chicago alone of 300,000,000 bushels
about three times the wheat there is in the
country-and renewed frenzy in cotton, with
sales in three days exceeding the whole visible
stock in America, followed the furious rise in
stocks, in oil and in hides and leather-at once
