SIMPLIFIES IT.

Hon. Charles A. TOwne made a. host
of friends in his Minneapolis speech.
He is eloquent and patriotic. Instead
of complicating the money question he
simplities it so much that any man can
understand it. Few mon can hear him
without agreeing with him, but none
can fail to admire and respect him.
He impresses one with all the force of
a man who is thoroughly informed,
fluent of expression and intensely in
earnest. Minnesota is honored in
sending such man as Mr.. Towne to
congress.-Mid,cay News.

A KNOTTY PROBLEM.

Can you tell why it is crime for a
private individual to charge usurious
rates of interest when the State per-
mits itself to levy usurious rate on
those who are so unfortunate as to be
unable to pay their taxes at a given
time? The State says it is usury, pun
lshable by law, to charge debtor
moro than a certain rate of interest,
but the State does the very same thing
with it's debtors. R;ver Sto9'- Ne,rs.

was the most excellent chairman of
the last Republican State convention.

to know there was such county as
Anoka. And yet Chairman Barto per-

the Anoka delegation just as Pease
felt inclined at every stage of the pro-
ceedings. If Pease keeps on with his

CHICAGO, June 15.-Defeat fell upon
the blue and gold of California at Ath-

able to participate.

sensational performance of the day, when
he made the 100 yard run in ID 5 seconds,
breaking his own and the intercollegiate
record OF 10 seconds and tying the pro-
fessional and amateur recodrs. The in
tercollegiate record, however. still stands
at 10 seconds, as today's meet was merely
a match and not recognized intercol-
legiats event.

ifornia won the throwing of the 16-pound
hammer event, his distance being 125 feet
515 inches.

THE FAIR WILL CONTEST
Suit Instituted by the Son Under
the New Law
The Lick House nade the Basis of the Action
to Test the Validity of the
Stolen Will

SAN FRANCISCO. June 15.-Charles l..
OF the trust provision in his father's will
was today made OF record in the superior
court. The action is brought under a new
statute of 1895, which allows any provis-
ion of will to be attacked before pro-
bate as well as after.
The complaint in this test case presents
Charles l.. Fair as the sole plaintiff. HIS
sisters. Mrs. Oelrichs and Miss Virginia
Fair. are made nominal defendants for
the reason that they are absent from the
state and consent to have them join as
plaintiffs could not conveniently be op-
tanned. The real defen dants are James
S. Angus, Louis C. Bresee, W. S. Good
fellow and Thomas G. Crothers, desig-
mated as trustees under an instrument
purporting to be will of James G. Fair,
deceased. dated September 81, 1894.
For the purpose of testing the law of
the case, it was deemed best to select one
piece of property. The piece referred to
i'll the complaint is the Lick House prop
erty for which Senator Fair in his life
cine paid 81, $50. 900.
The complaint states that Charles L.
Fair and his two sisters are the owners of
this property in fee simple. The claims
of the defendant trustees under the stolen
will are asserted 10 be wholly without
foundation. The court is asked to declare
from asserting any further claim to the
property.
If Charles l.. Fair can maintain and es-
tablish his suit to this piece of property.
the trust provisions of the stolen will will
fail as to the entire estate.

far as the sitting room when Claude
sprang at him and the thief in his terror
dashed through the window to the ground
outside. In his fall he carried away the
sash, a rose bush and the balustrade

THE MINING BOOM
Revival Of Interest in Underground Certain
ties" Is 1anifest

ties Is llanifest
SAN FRANCISCO, June 15.-In a
lengthy article deovted to the mining in
dustry the Examiner this morning says
there is conclusive evidence of revival
in mining now becoming world wide. In
the money centers of Europe. and more
recently in the east, mining securities are
displacing every other kind of security.
The capitalist. the man OF small means,
the public at large are seeking upportun-
ties for profitable Investments in mines.
The cause of this revival is said to be
the lack of opportunity for remunerative
investm ent of money in other channels.
W. G. Ralston of this city, who has just
returned from a four months trip in
Europe, in speaking of the situation,
said:
H"There is marked revival of interest
IN mining, not alone IN the great mining
districts of the world, but also in
financial circles. As corroborative of this
opinions of Irwin G. Stump. He has
been intimately associated for many
years with two of the leading mining
capitalists of this coast, and has had
large experience in mining affairs. He
believes that there are great possibilities
for investment of capital in the mines OF
the west. Were he to undertake the man
agement of mining exploitation COM
pany it would merit the confidence of
eastern capitalists, as we'll as that of the
westen mining men who know him. My
statement can also be confirmed locally
by the manufacturers of mining 1iachin-
cry. who are finding plenty to occupy
them, which visit to the large machine
shops of this city will prove. Even the
San Francisco stock market has felt to
some extent the effects of the revival of
inter est IN mining"

LOVE AND GORE
A Turkish Policeman Kills q Woman on
Her Wedding Eve

SOFIA, June 15.-Advlces were receiv-
cd here today from Krooshowa telling of
two startling occurrences which may be
followed by much serious trouble in tn at
district. The first disturbance was caus-
ed, according to all accounts, by Turkish
policeman, who killed a young woman
on the evening of her marriage to a
young Roumanian.
The girls two brothers swore vengeance
and the Turkish policeman and one of
his CON rades were killed by them shortly
after the death of the girl. This caused
great excitement in the neighborhood
and atte mpts were made to capture the
which they prepared to defend to the Ut
most. This building was finally sur
rounded by the Turkish police and the
brothers opened fire upon them with
guns and revolvers from the windows OF
the house. and during the affray killed
TWO more. but the brothers were killed by
the Turkish police. The firing caused
wild excitement everywhere in the neigh
borhood, and the commander OF the
Turkish troops was obliged TO send for re-
Inducements in order to maintain order.
The second story is even more startling
than the first. According to advices from
the Roumanian village of Waltsche, in
the same district. that place was recently
invaded during the absence OF the male
portion of the population by a band OF
Albanian bandits. The women of
Waltsche, however, seized upon whatever
weapons they could and made deter
mined resistance to the brigands who
during the fight which followed, killed
nine of the women. burned the village to
the ground and drove :he cattle to their
stronghold. Naturally the affair has
aroused the most intense Indignation
against the brigands and strong detach-
ment of troops has been sent after them.

lost 100 men. Lieutenant Martinez has
been appointed commander of the Neuva

WASHINGTON, June 15.-President
Cleveland is said to be on the point of
issuing another proclamation regarding
the Cuban revolution. The proclamation
of last Wednesday was vigorous warn
ing against the fitting out in the United
States of expeditions in aid of the insur-
rectioa. The foreshadowed proclaim alton,
it appears. may be an equally vigorous
warning to Spain to stop cruising around
our shores. Spanish war ships have been
prowling about our coast for some time.
Undoubtedly they were seeking to inter-
cept fillbustering exeditions. As long as
they kept within marine league OF the
shore they have. right to watch as long
as they please, but when they come in
side of the international limit and even
send armed launches to search hooks and
crannies for suspicious vessels and par
ties, it is an affront to this country.
