ST. PAUL. Mimi, June 26.-lnfuriat-
ed citizens of Southern Minnesota were
trying Thursday night TO lynch the

ed that they had been captured, mohs,
bent on lynching them, began to move
from Glencoe, New Auburn. Green Isle
and Hutchinson. While the mobS were
moving on Arlington, the prisoners
were rushed down II back street tn a
passing train and taken Ia Glencoe.
This saved the prisoners for Il tinr at
least, hut the governor wits wired that
the deputy sheriff in charge At Glencoe
could not prevent lynching. All the
militia companies of that part of the
state were taking their regular summer
outing in camp at Lake City and were
unavailable. Gov. Clough therefore
ordered out Company c. First rrgi-
ment. stationed in st. Paul. and that
company left st. Paul for Glencoe at
1O:4O. 1t will arrive there at one
o'clock, but the news from Glencoe at
this hour indicates that there will he Il
lynching bcsorc that time, as the town
is in a state of excitement bordering on
frenzy over the killing of sheriff Rodg-
crs, who was the most popular man. ~
Mcleod county.
At l:30 Friday morning it was learned
that the militia company from st. Paul
arrived at Glencoe on time and is now
stationed about the Jail. There is no
danger of further trouble.

Most of the Manufacturers In the Fox

CHICAGO, June 26.-Collector of In
ternal Revenue Mize, of this district,
recently sent an agent to the Fox river
valley district where the most of the
filed cheese is made to prepare the de-
pa .'tment as well as the menu
bers for the operation of the
filed cheese tax and license law
next September. He returned Thurs
day with the information that nearly
all the makers would go out of bust
ness before the law took effect, be-
cause they and the retail dealers had
figured out profitless business after
paying the government license and
tax and allowing for the effect on
the public of having to label their
product filled cheese The few
makers who will remain in business
will do an export trade exclusively, as
there is no tax on that. Fifteen million
pounds of filled cheese, valued at
81, 900, 900, were made in this district
last year, and about $500, 900 worth of
this trade will be abolished in the fall
by virtue of the enactment of congress.

CANTON. g., June 29.-The city of
Canton has witnessed a good many
demonstrations of an enthusiastic ma
ture since Maj. Mckinley was nomi-
mated and there have been thousands
of strangers within her gates. All
the demonstrations and visitors up
to this time, however, have been
of an unofficial, if not inform
al character. Monday the advent
of the notification committee, COM
posed of one member from each state
and territory, selected by the national
committee at st. Louis for the purpose
of conveying to the candidate
of the notice of his nominal
ton, will he an event of more signifi-
canoe and Importance than the coming
of all of the other visitors and delega-
tions which Mckinley has received.
The chairman of the committee. Sem
ator John NJ. Thurston, of Nebraska,
will be the spokesman for the commit
tee Monday. Gov. McKinley's speech
in reply to Senator Thurston will he
scanned with interest. 1t will not be
long and he will not at this time at
tempt to discuss in significant or
elaborate way the dominant issues of
the campaign.
Nothing in the way of an exhaustive
formal utterance may be expected I'M
til he publishes his letter of accept
ance, which will be in month or six
weeks. This is the usual time which n
candidate allows to elapse between the
date of his official notification and the
publication of his official acceptance of
the nomination.
Maj. Mckinley is not disposed to de-
part from custom in the matter. He
knows there is an abundance of time
before the election in November next
for the discussion of all political ques-
tions of moment and he does not wish
the campaign to commence too soon
and too vigorously.

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The Director Makes His Report the
Total Value of the Mineral Products of
the United States.

Inc DIRECTOR Makes Ills Report on inc
Total Value of the Mineral Products of
the United States.
WASHINGTON, June 29.-According to
official statistics just issued by the
director of the geological survey the
total value of the mineral product is of
the United States for 1895 increased
over $50, 200, 900 beyond the value for
) s93, or from S527, 1868, 594 to SOL 1 ,795, 900.
This increase is considered a long step
towards recovery from the depression
to which the mineral industry like all
others has been subjected.
While the coal product is great, it is
much steadier in spite of the extra de-
mand for it in order to produce an ex-
ira supply of iron.
Another noticeable feature will be
the profitable producing districts in the
Appachian range. Nature gas showed
a decline, the pressure decreasing in
all the fields, thereby shortening the
life of each we'll and greatly reducing
the product, especially in Pennsylvania
Almost all the remaining minerals
show substantial improvement.
