PAYING OFF MORTGAGES.
Many Red River Valley Farmers Have
Their Farms Free.

Many Red River Valley Farmers Have
Their Farms Free.
GRAND Forks, Jan. 1.-The farmers
of the Red River valley have paid in
the shape Of principal and interest
since Sept. l over $3.50, 900. This
year they have been as a general
rule very regular and prompt in the
payment of the interest on their mort
cages. One loan and trust company
represented in this city has collected
and remitted to its Eastern house over
$500, 900 during 1898 and 1894. More sat
isfactions Of mortgages have been re.
corded in the six Red River valley
counties this fall than ever before, and
very few Of them are renewals. There
are fewer foreclosures in progress or in
prospect this fall than ever before. The
farmers of the Red River valley were
never more free from debt than at the
present time, and while many Of them
now have but little cash, their pros
poets for the future are brighter.

The Second District Congressman Willing
to Take Washburn's Place.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. -Congressman
McCleary may be prevailed upon by
friends in Minnesota to become a can
didate for senatorial honors. He adj
mitted that he vas seriously consider
ing the matter Of allowing his friends
to enter him in the race. Said he:
II am urged by friends in Minnesota
to permit the use Of my name. Many
letters have come to me from members
Of the legislature offering their sup
port, if I desired it. If the legislature
should honor me with the election I
could hardly be expected to decline it.
On the contrary I should accept it.
Whether or notI shall make an active
canvass for the place remains to be
sean'.,,

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 81.-A cold wave
reached its climax here at 2 o'clock a.
M, when the thermometer registed 4
degrees above zero. The We ather is

Atlanta unawares. The motormen or
the trolley cars were the chief sufferers
and extraordinary efforts were made to
shield them from suffering. Great

Iowa Miners Destitute.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Ia, Dec. 2S.-There
is absolute restitution and suffering
among many families of the laboring
people Of Centreville at the present
time. The short work in the mines
and the lack Of work on the outside is
the cause of this state of affairs. Only
the mild weather has prevented great
suffering, The people OF the city are
now making an effort to form an or
ganization for the purpose of providing
for the needy in a systematic manner.

Robbed by Masked Men.

Sioux CRY, Ia, Jan. 1.-Another
daring robbery, in every way similar
to the n by which John Collins lost
$4,000 last month, occurred seven
miles south of this city. Two masked
men went to the house of a German
farmer named Koerner and tied him
hand andfoot and also strapped his wife
to a chair. They then searched the
house for valuables. They got $65 in
cash and about 500 worth Of jewelry,
but overlooked several hundred dollars
in cash.

Some Talk of Governor Nelson Being a
Candidate.
ST. PAUL, Jan. Gossip about the
Minnesota senatorship is at white heat.
Sabin is said to be warmly supporting
Comstock. There are rumors of other
candidates being announced soon be-
sides Washburn, Comstock, McCleary
and Sabin. Loren Fletcher and Charley
Pillsbury of Minneapolis are spoken OF.
During the election Governor Nelson,
while seeking reelection as governor,
publicly stated that he would not be a
candidate for the senate, and while he
has kept his promise there are many
who feel that the governor will succeed
Washburn. Comstock says prospects
for his success are 0. f., and Wash
burn says he will capture the prize.

a GREAT STRIKE.
Shoemaker. at Haverhin Want Their Old

S~hoema'ters at Havcrhill Want Their Old
Wages Restored.
HAvERHsLL, Mass, Dsc. 2S.-With
90 per cent Of the shoe workers of this
city earning less than 81 a week, the
International Labor union made a de-
mand on the manufacturers that they
should restore the prices that existed be-
fore the panic of 1892, the shoe industry
at the present time being at it's height.
The machine lasters were called out,
but no compromise could be effected.
Locked Out Workmen.
The affair eliminated when w. w.
Spaulding, the largest manufacturer Of
the city, locked out all his turner work
men, because they attended the labor
rally. The strikers and locked out men
formed a parade and marched to the
shoe district, where the women stitch.
ers at Spaulding's quit work, and they
joined in the demand for more wages,
as well as in the parade.
The strikers declare that the present
fight is to establish a uniform list Of
prices, and in this, although they have
only grievances against a few manu-.
facturers, all the shoe factories will be
concerned.
Thousands Were in Line.
While a $50, 900 confagration was
raging, the fourth parade Of the day
was formed and headed for the fire
lines. It contained 400 men, but was
increased by as many thousands when
it reached the hall. Here infammatory
speeches were delivered by the labor
leaders, and Armenians, Polish, He
brew and French anarchists, who
urged the men to come out and join
the strikers. The line Of the parade
was ablaze with fireworks and was
headed by a band.
Will Affect Six Thousand.
The general strike will not be ordered
until afternoon, and the manufacturers
have until noon to restore the former
price list. The strike will affect nearly
5000 men and women, who claim that
no compromise will be accepted, but
that the fight will be to the end. A
contract system now in vogue in the
larger factories, which keeps the for
eign element down, must be broken,
say the men, Or it will extend
throughout the shoe world.

ST.. PAUL, Jan. 1.-Representative
policemen from all over the state are
in session here to perfect a state or
%ganization of the paid police for the
purpose Of securing the passage Of a
bill by the legislature creating an in
surance fund for their benefit. The
fund to which the policemen insist that
they are entitled is one.half of the 2
per cent tax levied by the state on all
foreign insurance companies doing
business in Minnesota. The paid fire
departments all over the state have for
several years received one.half of this 2
per cent tax. The policemen believe
they are equally entitled to a similar
provision.

Horror in the Northwest.

Begina, n. W. T, Dec. 29.-The
house of William Thompson, farmer,
living twenty five miles north of here,
was burned yesterday morning, the in
mates barely escaping in their night
clothes. Mrs. Thompson and two child
ren were badly burned one dying shortly
after being taken from the house.
Placing his wife and the remaining child
in hen house, Thompson set out for a
neighbor's, one mile and "A quarter
away, having only some rags around his
feet and head, being otherwise nude,
although the thermometer was 30o below
zero. He reached within one hundred
yards of the neighbOr's house, when he
fell exhausted and almost frozen stiff.
Fortunately he was seen, and was
carried into the house and cared for.
When assistance reached Mrs. Thomp-
son and child the frost had added to the
torture of their burns, and it Is doubtful
whether they can survive. Thompson
is also in a critical condition.

Explosion OF GaS.

Elwood, Ind, Dec. 3O.-A fearful
natural gas and sewer gas explosion oc-
CURED here this morning shortly after
midnight in which six men came near
losing their lives, all being terribly in
jured, two having broken legs. The
building occupied 10y Milo Sees barber
shop was utterly demolished and the
furniture and fixtures blown into frag-
ments.
The cause os the explosion was due to
bad leak in the gas maines which
found an outlet in the sewer that com
municated with the bathrooms to the
shops. From there it accumulated unl
der the floor and around the walls of the
shop behind the plastering and soon he,
gan to fill the room. All evening the
smell of sewer gas and other gas had
been noticed and finally it got so strong
the doors were opened to purify the
room.
The fire in the stove in the shop was
burning brightly and when the air be
came saturated with the gas the ex-
plosion occurred. The loss is estimated
at s, 900 with no insurance.

The times are getting better, says the
Harrisburg Patriot, and have been im~
proving most of the year past, not only
since election as has been pretended.
The indications are that the improve
ment will continue until commerce and
industry take a better tone than they
now have.
The commercial failures for 1894 were
about IA, 600, with liabilities aggrega-
ting s167 10000 as compared with
u, 242 failures and liabilities aggrega-
ting 1916, ,774. .SS9 in 1898. While the
failures are within few hundred az
many as in 1898 the average liabilities
for each failure in 1894 was only SILL
400; in 1898 the average liability was
800, 700, or twice that of 1894. The
volume of business represented by clear>
inghouse exchanges last year was n per
cent. larger than in 1898, and the earn
ings of all railroads reporting in Decem>
ber We're %. per cent. greater than in
1898.
In the industries, as affecting labor,
the improvement is just as noticeable.
From number of industries, which are
representative of all and indicative of
the conditions in all, Dun Il Co. obtain
this authentic information: Hands en-
pIoyed, 1898, I25, O99; 1894, 134, ,672.
Wages paid, 1898, 50, $40, 72S; 1891 81, =
POI, ,21O. Hours at work, 1898, 27,-
119, ,599; 1894, 81, S39, ,S34. As com
pared with 1898. in 1894 total wage paw.
ments increased 1858 per cent, lumber
of hands incr ased S.53, the hours pei
hand increased S.24 and wages per hand
increased 6.91. Dun Il Co, estimate
that there are now employed not less
| than $50, 600 hands more than yeal
| ago, that the amount distributed in
wages has increased S162, ,OOO, 900 anC
that the value of product is greater by
81, ,254, 600, 900.
This is an excellent showing, all the
more so that it has been made without
| the Influence of the recent election
or any other circumstances EXCEPT ma
tural recovery from the Republican pan
ic, aided by the certainty of no more
overestimatiOn of industry by cOnces
! siOnS to tariff beneticiaries.

SOMETIMES Wall street overreaches
itself, and this appears to be the case as
to the syndicate of capitalists who took

threatened the market with another bond
issue, and with the prospect of an exces-
sive supply the price of bonds has de-
clined until the disbanded syndicate
finds itself loaded with a heavy holding

retary Carlisle for the fall in bonds. but
the fact is the capitalists were caught in
their own trap, in their eagerness to re.

latest being Tioga county, where the

unfortunate, and especially so in view Of
the fact that these were the miners

terrible effects of supporting tariff re

miners listened to the political voice in
the wilderness and voted nearly solid to
retain the government tariff bounty of
seventy five cents a ton to the operators,

operator gets about everything they have
