TWO DROWNED.
Fatal Boating Accident on the River
8S4=5 Mt Little Falls 5i{s,$f5 ea5sss8sN

ail I1ICle rails.
Little Falls, Mimi, April 23.-Mrs.
Mary q. Davis, wife of the late Ser
geant John Davis Of Fort Ripley, and
a young man named Van Rasmussen
were drowned yesterday while cross
ing the Mississippi in boat. The
river was rough, and the heavy load
caused the boat to turn over. The
occupants hung to the boat for a
while, but Van Rasmussen, seeing
they could not hold out, started to
swim ashore with Mrs. Davis. The
water was icy cold, and they both
took cramps, which caused their
death. An old man named Johnson
was also in the boat, but he hung on
and called for help and was rescued
in an exhausted condition. Rassmus-
sen was to blame for the fatal acct
dent, as Mrs. Davis requested him to
make two trips, but this he refused to
do He was a reckless fellow and
slightly under the influence of whis-
ky. Searching parties We're organized,
but the bodies have. not yet been
found. Mrs. Davis leaves five chill
dren to mourn her loss OF Rassmus-
sen very little is known. He claimed
he had relatives living in Dakota.

BEAVER FALLS WINS.
Close of the Renville County Sent

Close of the Renville County Sent
War
st. Paul, Mimi, April 22.-The SUI
preme court has denied the petition
for a rehearing in the Renville county
case, whereby it is sought to remove
the county seat from Beaver Falls to
Olivia. At the county election, which
occurred nearly year ago, these two
towns and others were competitors for
the honor of being designated as the
seat of government. When the votes
were counted it was found that sixty
of them were unintelligible, and they
were entirely thrown out and not
even counted as ballots in the deter
mination of the basis of plurality.
Under this ruling the town of Olivia
was declared victorious, and when the
matter was taken into the district
court the judges of election were up
held in their ruling. Tie question was
taken to the supreme court, however,
and by that tribunal the unintelligible
votes were considered as ballots in
the determination of the basis of plu-
rality, although not counted as votes
for any particular town. By this de-
cision the county seat was removed
some months ago from Olivia to
Beaver Falls. This controversy has
aroused much local interest and
caused considerable feeling in the
towns mentioned. .-.r

now entrusted with the framing of cur
rency laws so as to forever keep the
question out of politics and insure per-
manency of financial methods. Such
currency laws established in this way
the peoples representatives shall not be

framed to despoil the many and enrich
the few must be so firmly planted around

But we fancy such a scheme will be
little to the liking of the Fifty-fifth con-

selves of power, and it will take a con-

power than any we have yet seen to con-
sent to strip itself of the legislative pow

WHAT SOVEREIGN THINKS.

Sovereign in his annual report to
the Rights of Labor says in part:
after a struggle of twenty-seven
years against the evils of aggregated
wealth by our order, we are confront
ed With more serious problems affect
ing the rights and liberties Of the in
dustral masses than ever before.
Not only have the idle specializing
classes demonstrated their ability to
dominate productive enterprises and
accumulate the wealth Of toiling mil
lions, but they have demonstrate
their power to cOerce wage-earnerS
and mortgaged farmers with threats
Of discharge and foreclosure into sub
mission to their will. The autocratic
holders Of idle money have subverted
the principles of free government by
forcing political service from the poor
as the tenure of employment Labor
ing men can combat a falsehood and
bid defiance to traitors from their
own ranks, but when depraved mon
ster of corporate rapacity steals into
their homes and threatens them with
discharge and persecution because Of
their political convictions they sacri-
fee their liberties in consideration Of
food and shelter for their helpless
wives and innocent children. The
struggle just passed has demonstrated
that pecuniary dependence is political
slavery. ."-Patriot's Bulletin,

EXACTLY.

The tide of prosperity seemed last
week to meet with a reverse Wheat
took tumble of nearly four cents, and
cotton dropped little. These ups and
downs, however, are speculative, and do
not count for much. What is of more
Importance is that according to Brad
streets, the jobbers and wholesalers
do not report the anticipated increase in
the volume Of goods demanded, and
disappointment is the result" The
real test does not lie in the resumption
of work by factories and mills, of which
there are 500 that have opened or in
creased their force; nor does it lie In
the bank statements, the one for last
week in this city showing gain in de-
posits of $22 1000, 900, or for the last two
weeks of $38,O0O,O00. These are good
signs of returning confidence, but they
do not insure prosperous business only
the expectation Of it. The real test is
in the power and disposition of the peo-
pie to buy goods, and we have yet to see
whether there is to be a market that
will justify the return of confidence

BOUGHT EVERYTHING
MONEY WAS NO OBJECT IN THE
CAMPAIGN.
They Purchased Everything in the Shape Of
Newspapers That Was in the Market
And Unfortunately There Were
Many.

It has been charged that the Republic
can committees had unlimited funds at
their command and that they bought
everything in sight that could be bought
from the newspaper to the ward heeler.
And now comes the Homestead, an agri-
cultural paper published at Des Moines,
Iowa, in special edition of 100000
copies, issued last Saturday, and exposes
the methods of Mark Hanna in purchas-
ing the agricultural papers of the central
West, particularly of the doubtful states,
to influence the farmers away from sill
yer. The article, consisting of $1,000
words, makes direct charges that papers
were bought, and challenges those impli-
Gated to sue for libel.
1t directly charges that Wallace's
Farmer, published in Des Moines, was
purchased, and estimates that fully $780,
900 were spent to buy other papers in
Iowa, Indiana, Nebraska, Illinois, Min
nesota, Ohio and Michigan. Although
names of the men who carried on the
deal are not given they are described.
The descriptions fit United States SEN
ator, national committeeman and sew
eral Iowa state politicians.
The Homestead says it was itself invit-
ed into the deal and exposes the entire
transaction. 1t tells of conferences with
Republican leaders held by James M.
Pierce, manager, and S. F. Stewart, edi-
tor, both in Des MOines and in Chicago,
and says the price offered was about $12,-
600. In return for this the Homestead
was to publish articles, disguised as nom
partisan, to be furnished by writer's in
the employ Of the Republican committee,
and to refuse to publish communications
from silver men until the close of the
campaign. Thousands of sample copies
of the paper were to be sent to the ad-
dresses of doubtful farmers" gathered
by the county committeeman in the Cen
trail Western states. Pierce and Steward
say they led the Republican managers on
until they understood the whole deal Sc
cured the names of papers bought and
the price paid, and then broke off ne
gotiations.
And this is the party of honest"
money!-Schilling Advance.
