and that will mean higher prices
for everything in our line.
It is wisdom to buy now. No
better opportunity was ever Of
fered by any one. Goods are
cheaper than at any previ-

lower prices than you can expect
when the good times are here.
Business is balky, but under such
low prices as we make now it is
bound to go. Why, you can buy

MINNESOTA CROPS.

Seeding Is Pretty Well Finished-Great
Need for Rain.
MINNEAPOLIS, April rs The weather
crop bulletin for the week ending April
%, gives the following general summary
for Minnesota:
With the exception of occasional light
showers in the Red River valley, which
extended east to Otter Tail, Becker,
Hubbard and Wadena counties, no rain
has fallen during the week. These
showers fell over the dryest sections
and the need of more moisture is now
about the same everywhere throughout
the state. High winds have been less
damaging than during the previous
week. The temperatures averaged
higher than last week, keeping up the
normal conditions of a season from one
to two weeks early. The nights were
occasionally frosty with the gain in
heat most noticeable during the sun
shiny day time. Good, warm rains
would greatly accelerate stooling and
growth, but as,yet the need sof them is
not very urgent. Vegetation has ad-
vanced considerably, although the
growth as rule has been slow, which
cannot but be considered advantageous,
owing to the earliness of the season.
The early seeded fields are coming up
nicely with heavy stand and healthy
growth. Planting of pototoes and early
vegetables is now general, and seeding,
except late fax, nearly finished.

VOORHEES, OPINION
TIA Indiana Senator Believes
abeas Corpus Will be
32 ! Granted Debs.
g NOTHING DEFINITE
Hisx atement Being Merely
t Expression of His
Own Opinion.

WASHINGTON, April 25. - Senator
voorhees, of Indiana said that it was
true that he had written a letter to
Eugene v. Debs expressing the opinion
that the United States supreme court in
its forthcoming decision in the cele-
brated Debs contempt case will reverse
the action of Judge Woods and grant
Debs and his associates q writ of habeas
corpus. The senator said, however,
that this was merely his personal opin-
ion as lawyer, and said in explicit
terms that he had no information con.
corning the views of members Of the
supreme court on the case, and had
written solely on belief and not on in
formation. At the court it was said
that nothing was known concerning
the decision.

Horrible Condition of the Island Hardly
Known to the " orld
WASHINGTON, April 25.-A private
letter received here from one of the
most prominent business men at Ha-
vana, says:
Poor Cuba. The truth in regard to
the horrible condition of affairs here is
not yet realized by the outside world.
With the close Of the sugar season next
month there will be misery and famine.
The sugar crop has been far below the
average this year, and all of it will now
be subjected to the new United States
tariff on sugar. 1t means much loss to
the planter and with the beginning of
the ''dead season." lasting from the
close of the sugar season until next
September, there will be no employment
for labor. 1t means idle hands-white
and negro Such conditions cannot
but add to the smouldering fire of the
rebellion.

APPROACHING AN END.

Said There Is No Hope for the Recovery of
Mrs. SParnell.
BORDENTowN, N. j., April 25.-It
now seems but question of few hours
until Mrs. Parnell passes away. Since
she was attacked by the first convulsion
she has grown rapidly worse and is
growing weaker every minute. Dr..
Ships, the attending physician, has
given up all hope Of saving her life,
and as she is too weak to undergo an
operation, Ill that can be done is to
wait for the fast approaching end. DR..
Ships believes if she was strong
enough to 'tand an operation that the
clot Of blood at the base of the
brain, which, in his opinion, is the
cause of the convulsions, could
be successfully removed. and while
it might not result in her ultimate re.
covery, life could be prolonged for some
time. Friends of the distinguished
patient are at her bedside, but she does
not seem to recognize any one. She
has not spoken half dozen words in.
telligently since the night Of the assault.

TO LAND MARINES
Programme of Great Britain
at Corinto Is Definitely
Outlined.
SEIZE THE CUSTOM HOUSE
And Collect All Duties, Beside
Enforcing a Blockade of
the Port.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Exact off,
cial information has been received as to
Great Britain's belligerent steps in
Nicaragua. British troops are to be
landed at Corinto. The customs
houses are to be occupied by the British
forces and British officers are to exer-
else the functions of collectors of GUS
toms. At the same time Nicaraguan
local commerce is to be crippled by a
blockade.
The limit of time allowed Nicaragua
to yield expires Thursday night, and
the blockade, landing of troops and
mediately thereafter. There is good
reason to believe that Nicaragua is not
likely to yield, but will allow British
troops to occupy Corinto. in order that
conspicuous attention may be drawn to
what is regarded by Nicaragua as an
invasion of the Monroe doctrine.
DIR. Guzman, the Nlcaraguan minis
ter, is inaccessible. He has been very
active since early morning, brief time
remaining before Great Britain's final
blow, places heavy responsibility on
him. Nicaragua's hopes now are al
most entirely centered on Washington.
1t is not believed. however, that DR..
Guzman has succeeded in enlisting the
Intervention of the United States.
Will Protect Foreigners.
AS to the landing of British marines
at Corinto which is now understood to
be part Of the programme, it is stated
by officials that this will not menace or
endanger the interests of the United
States or other foreigners. The case of
the British bombardment Of Alexandria
is cited to show the British policy to-
wards foreigners at threat
ened point. In that case Great
Britain wished to strike Egypt,
but to do so she was compelled
to injure some foreign interests at
Alexandria. Notice was therefore
given that foreign interests would be
protected with every precaution posi-
BILE, and if they were injured as an in
cident to the attack, compensation
would be made. Subsequently the few
foreign interests which suffered were
voluntarily aremunerated by Great
Britain. 1t is said the same policy will
be used at Corinto Great care will be
taken to protect foreign interests and
should the latter suffer indirectly they
will be compensated for loss.

HAWAIIAN RECIPROCITY.

Shipping Regulations Established Between
This Country and tho Young Republic.'
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Reciprocity
between the United States and Hawaii
in shipping regulations has recently
been brought about by the action of the
treasury department in giving to the
Hawaiian merchant vessels the same
advantages enjoyed by American ships.
The Hawaiian government has already
placed the United States ships on
the same terms as it's own. Mr..
Hastings, the Hawaiian charge here,
says the new arrangement is proving
very satisfactory to shipmasters in both
countries. He has prepared full sum-
mary of our shipping laws for trans
mission to his government, as the treas
ury decision practically makes them
operative in Hawaii.

FERTILITY OF SOILS
Some interesting experiments Being Car
risd on 1t Washington.

risd on ut Warrington.
WASHINGTON, April 25.-Professor L.
G. Davis is conducting series Of ex-
periments to determine the fertility Of
the typical soils of the United States,
which gives promise Of the most far
reaching economic results to the farm
ers of the country. The method pur-
sued is entirely new. The ultimate OBJ
ject is to determine the fertilizer
necessary to restore the fertility
of any soil, and to save the farm
ers the thousands annually spent
for fertilizers which do not meet the
necessities of the soil to which they are
applied. The work was specially au-
thorized by the last session Of congress.
By the help of the agricultural stations
in various parts of the country, the
typical soils of the various sections are
being collected by persons competent to
judge of them.
One Of the Novel Features.
One Of the novel features Of the pres
ent experiments will be photograph
gallery now being erected on the agri-
cultural grounds. The pots of soil ex-
perimented upon will be on tramways,
and will at stated intervals be run into
this gallery SO that the grow
ing plants can be photographed,
and thus furnish indisputable evil
dence of their productive qualities,
and, by comparison, of their fertility
with and without different classes of
fertilizers. The experiments will last
several years and might be extended to
an indefinite extent, but practical re-
suits will be obtained at once and will,
it is thought, prove Of immense benefit
to farmers throughout the country.

considerable distance. Mr.. Sigman
rode over, thinking he could buy the
cattle, inasmuch as they were about to
be shipped. Three men We're driving
the cattle, and as soon as they saw Mr..

took flight. An examination of the
cattle showed that 20 of them carried
the brand of Charles Loveland. while
the other five were of mixed brands.
Mr.. Loveland was notified, and he is
now one of the foremost in the pur-
suing party after the three thieves.

IN FAVOR OF DEBS.

Said the Supreme Court VIII Grant q
Habeas Corpus Writ.
ST. PAUL, April %. "A Chicago spe-
cial to The Pioneer Press says:
Monday next the supreme court is
expected to hand down a decision in
the Debs complaint. The decision of
the lower court, made by Judge Woods,
will be reversed and the writ of habeas
corpus asked for by Debs and his asso-
ciates, relieving them of imprisonment
for contempt for disobeying the orders
Of the court, will be granted. At least,
this is the expectation of the lawyers
who have carefully watched the case
and Of gentlemen who are in position
to know something Of the progress
which the supreme court has made in
its consideration of this case.
It is understood that the court stands
either to or toS in favor of Debs.
1t is the strongest argument used by the
attorneys of Debs. that a man cannot
be twice punished for the same offense,
and not without trial by jury.
Double Barreled Justice.
In CQ1S instance D0DS ana MS dS6O-
ciates were enjoined by the court from
interfering with the mail, and on COM
plant that they had failed to obey this
injunction, they were not only arrested
and indicted under the statutes, but
hauled into court,for contempt and SEN
fenced to imprisonment on that ground.
Judge Trnmbull and Mr.. Darrow, their
attorneys, argued that this was
sort of double barreled shot
gun justice = furnishing man for
crime for which he had been in
dicted but before he was tried, Among
those public men who have carefully
watched progress of the case is Senator
Voorhees,, a townsman of Debs at Terre
Haute. Senator Voorhees, says he has
information which leads him to the
conclusion that the supreme court will
reverse the decision of Judge Woods.
II cannot tell you all that I have heard
nor where I have heard it," said Sena.
tor Voorhees,, ''but feel sure that the
court will reverse Woods and grant
Debs habeas corpus. The decision OF
the court will not be unanimous" ,
