MINNEwAUKAN, n. D., April IT,
Those who went into hogs last fall,
ground up their wheat for feed and are
now turning off the fattened product,
are much disappointed at the decline in
pork prices. Still, they report the re-
suit as profitable on the whole and
claim that their wheat has netted them
better than the market price.

It u Called Forth by the Presidents
sound Money Letter.
WASHINGTON. April II. - Senator
Stewart has written letter to Presi-
dent Cleveland, referring to the presi-
dents letter of the 18th inst, addressed
to the members of the Chicago COM
mittee. Senator Stewart says the
presidents letter is timely.
'The country looks to you,' he says,
las the great champion Of the present
financial condition of the country. The
policy for which we have labored SO
long and so persistently has been es-
tablished, and the money of the Uuited
States reduced to the shrinking value
Of gold.
What is now more needed than any
thing else is pain and simple presen-
-tatien-ef- the argument in favor OF
sound money.
IF you could point to any benefit
you have been to the country, your
task would be much easier. but in view
of universal distress your courage far
exceeds your discretion, unless you pre-
sent your reasons for gold monometal-
lism without delay"
Throughout the senator's letter he
arraigns in similar language the posi-.
tion taken by the president and con.
cludes as follows:
II assure you that when your long.
delayed argument in favor of gold
standard appears, l shall take grea,
pleasure in calling your attention to any
matters you may inadvertently omi,
which is necessary for your case"

IRATE ENDEAyORERS.

They DenOupce "The Unparalleled Base
ness" of Father PheIan of St. Louis.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., April 29-The
recent attacks made by Father Phela n,
the former Catholic priest of St Louis,
and editor of the Western Waterman,
on the members of the Christian En-
deavor societies of the United States,
created considerable feeling here where
the Endeavorers are strong Rev. ]. P.
Dawson, of the Westminster Presbyte-
rian church, last night made a reply
from the pulpit to charges, during the
course of which he denounced Father
Phelan in the warmest terms. A great
crowd of Endeavorers were present, and
after the sermon the following petition
was signed by nearly every one in the
building:
ITO His Reverence. Mgr. satollL Roman Cath
Ole University, Washington, d. c.:
"We, undersigned Christian Endeav-
orers of Asbury Park, n. j., respect
fully call your attention to the wicked
false and slanderous statements pub
lished by Father Phelan, one of your
priests in st. Louis, Mo. The base and
nexcusable assault is made on more than
three million pious, earnest, godly and
irreproachable young Christians in Am =
erica. 1t is unparalleled in its baseness
and enormity and should consign its au-
thor to everlasting lnfamy and contempt
ave therefore ask that the creature
from which emanated such charges, be
degraded, unfrocked and deposed from
the high position he has so recklessly
disgraced. We are encouraged to make
this petition from the many protestations
which you, as we'll as the Holy See,
which you so ably represent, have re-
Gently made toward America and Ameri-
can institutions. This petition is most
respectfully and earnestly made with
full confidence that you will give it i'm
mediate and careful consideration"
Members of the local Christian En-
deavor societies will at once circulate
petitions for additional signatures, and
when both Asbury Park and Ocean
Grove have been canvassed, the petition
will be forwarded to Archbishop Satolli
/ at Washington.

WOES OF DRUG STORE
Which Was Started Under the Crawford
Opera House by DR. Burkett.

Which Was Started Under the Crawford
Opera House by DR.. Burkett.
The district court jury has returned
verdict of $3.50 damages in favor of the
plaintiffs in the case of r. j. Mackey
and w. J. Kelsner against Sheriff D. n.
Burdge. The jury was out thlrty-six
hours.
Those unfamiliar with the facts in
the case might imagine that the judg-
ment was d great hardship to the
sheriff, but such is not the case. Sher-
if Burdge did not make the levy and
attachment, on which the suit was based,
blindly. When the Smith Drug COM
pany of St. Joe asked to have the drug
stock of Mackey & Keisner attached,
Burdge made them give an indemnify
bond TO protect him. This is a customary
practice in such cases. Accordingly the
! smith Drug company and George STAINS
field are on the indemnity bond. Sheriff
Burdge will not be the loser, although
| the verdict is against him.
It is probable that the same parties
may sue the sheriff for selling Il portion
of the stock to satisfy the claim of L. II.
Crawl ord. When this attachment was
executed John r. Mulvane was CraW-
fords bondsman in favor of the sheriff
These cases and much more litigation
all grew out of the stock of the Topeka
Drug company's store in the Crawford
opera house building. DR.. E. J. Burkett
started the store. Burkett came to To-
peka last summer from Oklahoma with
the idea that a drug store with liq uor
permit in Topeka was more to be desired
than gold miner People who knew
him of old, however, prevented him from
getting permit Then l. NJ. Crawford
began an attachment suit for rent, and
to avoid this Burkett claimed that he had
sold out TO Mackey and Kelsner. Messrs.
Mackey and Kelsner said so too Some
creditors whom Mackey owed then be-
gan proceedings to take the property
away from Mackey. This is as far as
the ordinary mind is able to trace the
litigation except that Mackey & Kelsner
sued the sheriff for the value of the
stock, claiming the sale by the sheriff
was illegal

MATSON MURDER CASE.
Trial Begins in the District Court
This Week.
MATSON HAS LEFT THE STATE.
a Theory That IuvOIves Him in the
1Eurder-Nevels' Confession"

A Theory That I0vOIves Him in the
Murder-Nevels' Confession"
Albert Matson will not be witness ia
the Matson murder trial which begins
this week in the district court He was
looked upon as an important witness and
he had been regularly subpoenaed.
Matson is now in California 1t looks
very much as if Matson takes no interest
whatever in the prosecution of his wife's
assassin, Novels.
Novels in his confession" said he had
been hired by an emissary from Matson
to get the papers which would make
him the possessor of Mrs. Matson's pro-
perty in case of his wife's death. While
this is only one of Novels stories. the
officers looked upon it as a possible ex-
PLANTATION of the murder. Novels, how
ever, claimed that he had nothing more
to do with the conspiracy than to bur
glariZe the house and get the will, deeds
and other documents, and that the MUIR
der was committed by others who were
lured by the same emissary
Matson was last seen in Topeka a
week ago last Saturday. He told
sheriff Burdge that his health
might have to go to California, he suf-
fered so. Circumstances indicate that
he started for California that same day,
or at latest the next day.
The sheriff could have put Matson IN
der bond to stay within reach during
the trial, but did not think it was neces-
sary to do So 1t is now thought by
many that circumstances may arise dur
ing the trial which will make the pres
ence of Albert Matson greatly to be de-
sired.
Matson's demeanor in Topeka has been
such as to arouse suspicion. His first
questions to the officers were not as
would be expected, regarding the details
of the murder and clues of the assassin,
but were all about the property. He ex-
pressed no surprise, no regret at the
murder, and the question of property
appeared to be the only thing on his
mind.
A JOURNAL reporter talked to him
shortly after his arrival in Topeka, and
he id not act as a man altogether sane.
His nervousness was painful, and at times
he lost all control of himself and his
lower jaw dropped and wobbled help
lessly He insisted on being directed to
the court house at once, and the reporter
took him to the offices of the probate
judge and register of deeds. He showed
feverish anxiety as to the state of the
property, and talked about papers he had
in California, which would show that he
was entitled to all the property. At no
time did he appear interested in his
vile.

and bespangled butterflies. Does your
hair grow luxuriantly over your brows
and is your forehead smooth and fair?
If so, there is hat for you with low,
fat crown of lace over bright colored
silk, with tiny roll of velvet around it
and great, wide straw brim with
very decided upturned dent in it-yes,
and three fluffy plumes upon it, two
white as milk and one as black as ink.
Does your face appear long and narrow?
Then take what the goddess of fashion
offers you in the shape of Dutch bon
net, with fiat top and great wide bows
at each side. Sometimes there are per-
feet knobs of rosettes just behind the
temples, and often the front is arranged
in a double ruff1e Of beaded black lace,
set with quilted satin rosettes. There
will be some curled emu feathers of a
dusty notified brown set at one side or
the other. Does your heart pine for the
picturesque? For such as pine in that
particular direction there are black
straws, with graceful rounding dip,
like the movement of a three masted
schooner on heavy ground SWELL
On these are set rich and glossy black
plumes in empire style, generally three

and one droops forward, while the third
stands up straight, with only the curled
tip left to float in the wind. To be quite
picturesque these hats are faced with
black, dark blue or green velvet, and
cockleshelI of the same is made as
point of departure for the plumes. Do
you strive for the striking effects? There
is guinea hen straw, speckled in black
and white, and on this is a bold quill
ing of heavy corded edged satin ribbon
laid all around the crown, which is
about as large as a trade dollar. This
ribbon is of a luStrouS chestnut brown,
and standing up to bend downward at
their own sweet will are the three raven
tips, while another curls under at the
back. And on the slightly curIed edge
of the brim is set a scarlet velvet bow.
In short, doyou wish any thing you have
never seen in hats and bonnets? If you
do, you may find it now, and more too.
Time was when baby up to or
years old wore nothing but dotted swiss,
the finest cambrics and mulls, and, in
short, all the very finest and most ex-
quisite of everything belonged to baby.
Now the mother or big sister gets them,
and baby must take up with the coarser
things. Perhaps baby did not take as
good care of the fine things as the
grownups do, but somehow we are rather
inclined to think baby is defrauded.
Mothers then delighted in sewing
their eyes out and getting pains in their
sides in making and washing the dainty
little frilled and embroidered lawn
frocks and underwear for their babies.
