san Franci-co's Fight.

Great Falls Leader: While the ex-
treme West would undoubtedly have
selected San Francisco az the place OF
meeting for the republican national
convention, its second choice would
have been st. Louis. the city which re-
ceived the vote of the national commit
tee. San Francisco made a gallant
fight, but IL labored under similar
disadvantage with New York City.
Each is at the extreme limit OF the
continent. and the majority OF people
favor a more central location for the
holding of any great gathering. This
was shown when IL was decided that
the Columbian exposition should be
held in Chicago. New York pulled
every wire at its command I'm order to
capture the worlds fair. but the voice
of the people was for Chicago. and that
city bore away the prize. IL must be
some consolation to San Francisco.
after it's defeat. TO know that IL made
so brave a stand against such form
liable rival.

A Question ofLaM.

Billings Times: The statement made
by Hon. George r. Milburn, that in
the event of the Crow reservation be-
ing opened the Northern Pacific rail-
road company will acquire title to the
odd numbered sections thereof, is be-
ing somewhat warmly criticised by
some of our contemporaries. OF course
the opinion expressed by Judge Mil
burn was not ex cathedra, and conse-
quently has not the authority of
decision from the bench, but ii has
nevertheless a weight of authority as
coming from a gentleman, learned in
the law. who is not disposed lightly to
give an off-hand opinion on a legal
question, that ought to entitle IL to a
little more consideration than some of
our editorial friends seem disposed to
devote to IL. In the end, we are dis
posed to think Judge Milburn's state
ment will be found to be correct The
mere fact that the Northern Pacific has
so far made no claim to the odd
numbered sections in the portions of
the Crow reservation heretofore re-
stored to the public domain is no argu-
ment that that company has no claim
to them. or that IL would not put in it's
claim in the event of the opening of
the large tract which the Gazette is
now engaged in restoring to the public
domain. The faith OF the United States
Is pleuSeu TO the NOftnern racine to
obtain the extinguishment so soon as
possible of the Indian titles within
the forty mile limit. The ten mile in
demnity strip is no doubt available for
the company to choose land from in
lieu of land within its grant, but we
think our contemporaries are mistaken
when they assert that the company
has selected lands therein in lieu of
the lands they will be entitled to with

Just as valid next year. or ten years
hence. as IL was when the presidents

the shot and were in front of police head

down to the saloon and placed Crockett
under arrest. AS Surry walked up to
Crockett the murderer was in the act of

AN INJUSTICE.

The, owners of some of the lots on
Point Pleasant, when they come to
pay their taxes, will find what appears
to be an unjust discrimination. These
lots, owned by our citizens, are
assessed at S75 each, while desirable
lots lin the village of Madison Lake
are placed at from $40 to $40, some of
the best lots being placed at the lat
ter figure. The tax is $50 mills, an
unusually high figure, but there
WOULD be no objections on that score
if the assessments were equalized. 1t
looks like an unjust discrimination
against Mankato people who have in
vested money there, and who, by
making the Point popular summer
resort, have added much to the pros
perity of the village. We do not be-
lieve that such a manner of assessing
is upheld by the residents of the vii
lage generally, as they are well aware
that the more improvements that are
made on the Point the better it is for
business n the village. Such dis
EXAMINATIONS win tend to keep capital
away from there and divert it to other
lakes where our people will be more
cordially welcomed, and the benefits
of their sojourning appreciated.

Adamson here. He says he is willing
to 60 back to Iowa. He is said to have

UNION DEPOT.
Report of the Committee Received

A special meeting of the board of
trade was held Monday to con-
slider a report of the union depot COM
mittee. Chairman Andrews read a
typewriter report, rehearsing what
has already been done, what it is de-
sirable to accomplish, and making GER
tain recommendations which if car
ried out, are expected to be of mater
ial aid in accomplishing the object
for which the committee was appoint
ed. 1t was the judgment of the board
that this report should not be made
public at this time, as certain negota-
tions are on foot which it is as we'll
shall not be known at present, and
the daily papers were asked as favor
to the board not to publish it.
The report was referred back to the
committee after lengthy discussion,
and S. f. Barney was added to the
committee. The committee will con-
tinue its work, call Notwithstanding
of the railroad officials, and then
make its report to the board.
The matter of taking the census
was briefly referred to.

County Auditor Gunders has re-
ceived letter from the Security Saw

for the state assignment of all delin-
quent taxes.
This means that this bank is salts
fed with the condition of Blue Earth
county property. 1t intends to invest
in the delinquent tax titles of the year
1893 and prior years, and is after the
twelve per cent interest allowed by
law.
This speaks well for Blue Earth
county lands. There never was a
time when there was so few delin-
quent taxes on the books, and the in
vestment is safe and sure one.

Wilson's rlankatO Career.

W. G. Wilson came to MankatO
about two months ago, and associated
himself with j. e. Hall in the start
ing and publication of the .NOrnin
NeauS, in which he claimed to have
two-thirds interest. He claimed to
have come from Des Moines, Iowa,
and Editor HI. c. Hotaling. of the
MapletOn Enterprise, stated recently
to a FREE PRESS man that Wilson
walked from Wells to Mapleton, and
sought work in order to purchase a
railroad ticket to MankatO. Mr.. Ho-
falling gave him work for day and
half, and Wilson was enabled to enter
Mankato in passenger car.
Mr.. Wilson at once gave wide pub
licity to the statement that he had
been a correspondent for syndicate
of newspapers or magazines, and had
travelled in Europe and Asia, and, in
fact, about all over the world. He
claimed that in coming to Mankato
he gave up tempting offer from the
Cosmopolitan, or some other magazine,
to 90 to Persia as it's special CORE
spondent. He laid claim to linguistic
ability, saying that he could speak
fiuently in seven languages. Why such
a desirable newspaper correspondent
should locate in Mankato In prefer
ence to so much more desirable en-
ployment was a question which
caused some talk among those who
gave the matter any consideration.
But Mr.. Wilson soon silenced this by
SAYING that hitherto he had spent all
that he received, and that he had
reached a point in life where rs
should settle down, and good open-
ing appeared to him to present itself
in MankatO.
1t was generally understood that
Mr.. Wilson was single man, but
whether we made that claim we do
not know, although information comes
to us that he did. At any rate, he
soon cut wide swath in Y. M. G. A.
circles, and frequently gave talks at
the Tuesday evening meetings. He
also took prominent part in Sunday
school work in one or more of the
churches, and at religious gatherings
he was prominent figure. His sub
