MINNESOTA NEWS.
ColIapsesi.

The large elevator of the Minnesota
Linseed Oil Company, on Tenth avenue
south, between Washington avenue
and the Milwaukee tracks Minneapolis,
collapsed and its store of so, 900 bushels
of fax seed poured out of the wrecked
bins in glistening stream and spread
over the ground.
1t was the Tenth avenue side of the
building that gave way. A few seconds
before the collapse an employee who
was inside the building heard a sound
which startled him, and made his es-
cape through window upon a shed
roof, thence dropping TO the ground
just in time to avoid being caught III
the wreck.
No cause is known for the collapse
The building was a wooden structure
made after the pattern of the ordinary
grain elevator and it is thought that
one of the iron rods running throgh the
building as brace must have rent
apart by some extra strain throwing
an added load upon the wall which
gave way.

Minnesota Coal.

1t has leaked out through prominent
persons connected with Washington
that the Great Northern railroad COM
pany has recently located 5000 acres
of unsurveyed land near the Nett Lake
Indian reservation. presumably for coal.
The lands were entered under an act
of congress passed in 1855, and this is
the first entry made in Minnesota I'M
der United States provisions. For sew
eral years past outside parties have
been quietly at work on the Little
Fork river, which flows by the reserva-
ton, sinking for coal, but with what
results none have been able to discover.
Specimens of excellent coal have been
exhibited from time to time, but the
men have been reticent as to the To-
cality from whence they came. Par
ties connected with the railroad have
been watching the explorations closely,
and in his speech at the immigration
convention in st. Paul last fall Presi-
dent James j. Hill made the assertion
that coal had been found in Minnesota.

Spain S6,0OO,0O0 month for the main
tenance of the army alone. From the
outbreak, February "a, 1895, until jan
Iary 1, 1896, the cost amounted to $751;
600, 900, according totigures published
by La Discussion, here. The loss, ow-
ing to the burning of crops, towns and
destruction of railroad property can
not be calculated until the smoke clears
away. The Cubans, without recogni-
ton as belligerents, are long way
from obtaining freedom for Cuba. but
Spain. on the other hand, seems to be
long way from crushing out the
