total value Of upward OF million.
In October Of that year The Lutine
was ordered round TO Yarmouth to take
treasure on board and proceed to tie
Eibe. Her captain was one Lanceiot
Skynner, r. n, an officer of distinction,
and no doubt his mission was much to
his taste. The short voyage was likely
to bring him considerable profit, for it
was the rulo to pay naval captains q
commission of 1 per cent OH the total
value embarked.
On the evening Of the 9th of October
the Lutine lay i'll Yarmouth roads with
merry party on board. Tho captain,
no doubt i'll excellent spirits, had given
q grand ball TO the leading people in and
about Yarmouth. The last of the guests
had hardly gone ashore when percnlp.
tory orders came from the admiralty
that tho Lutine should forthwith 20 10
sea. She sailed in the early morning of
the 9th, and from that time very little
was heard of her.
1t is, however, known that she steer
ed straight course for Cuxhaven, ut
the mouth of the Elbe, wind strong
from north northwest, and greatly in
favor. After landing passengers and
treasure tho Lutine was to convoy fleet
OF merchantmen to the Baltic.
Soon after midnight, going free and
under full press of sail, she struck OIL the
outer bank of the island of Vlieland
(Flyland), the next to the Texel and
one of the ring of islands that hem the
mouth of the Zuyder Zee. She must
have been slightly out of the course, and
1T is said that there was strong lee tide
running. During the night she went
down with all on board. Another kings
ship, the Arrow, Captain Portlocl, was
III company, but she could give no help,
nor the SCOTS or fishing boats of tho
coast, and when day broke there was no
Lutlne. Only two survivors were picked
up by Dutch lugger at daylight cling
ing to the wreckage, one of whom died
almost Immediately, and the other, Mr..
ochaDrach, the notary, very soon after
ward died. but not until he had told tho
little he knew.
Repeated efforts have been made to
recover the money. In the year imme
diateiy following, when the whole thing
was fresh and before the sand had silted
or drlfted over the wreck, tho Dutchmen
hshed up some 600, 900. Then more sys
tematic and some really costly efforts
were made, and by 1879 another ESQ
600 was recovered.

IN 1872 by an English engineer, Mr..

The literary woman was attending an
afternoon tea given by New York club
of women devoted to heroine worship.

OF tho strength and comfort they had
derived from her works. Finally a lit

disporting herself tactlessly came up
"Oh. my dear Mrs. Ruyter," she ex-

One way to beat a doctor is to
provide plenty Of fresh air in the
living ana sleeping rooms. An
other is to eat plenty of apples.
The Bulletin Of Pharmacy says:
Everybody ought to know that
the best thing one can do is to
eat apples just before going to
bed. The apple has remarkably
e&cacious medicinal properties.
It is an excellent brain food. be.
cause it has more phosphoric
acid in easily digested shape than
other fruits. It excites the action
of the liver, promotes sound and
healthy sleep, and thoroughly
disinfects the mouth, 1t helps
the kidney secretions and pre-
vents calculous growth, while it
relieves indigestion, and is one
of the best preventatives known
for diseases of the throat. No
harm can come to even delicate
system from eating of ripe and
juicy apples before retiring for

WAKE UP, ALLIANCES.

Will you kindly grant space in
your valuable paper to make an
appeal to the Alliances of Mime
sofa. This has been an event.
full year. The people have met
the Plutocracy Of Gold and the
Plutocracy has won the battle.
And it won it because the people
were not organized as they
should have been;' and the AL
lance is largely t. blame for the
result. Had we continued to or.
ganize and push the work, as we
were doing six years ago, we
should have carried this state
this fall with ease.
Brother Alliance men, the
triumph of trusts and com bines,
backed up by foreign gold,
means slavery for the producer
of wealth.
Which do you prefer? The
liberty and the rights Of d free.
man or, the curse of being a serf
to the gigantic coal trust, the
elevator rings, the millers
rings, the beef com bine, and the
lum Der stealing Plutocracy,
backed up BY: foreign gold? You
are. the ones to decide this ques-
tion: # we lose our organiza-
ton; if the Alliance goes down
entirely, we are then without a
head. We are scattered sheep,

SUGGESTED CHANGES IN
JUDICIAL DISTRICTS.

1t is quite likely that the legls-
lature this winter will be asked
to change the boundaries of the
twelfth judicial district, so as to
Tighten the work of Judge Cor
ham Powers. and if it does there
may te an opportunity in the
shake-up for the fourth district
to effect satisfactory adjust
ment of it's long-standing differ
ences. The twelfth district is at
present composed of the coun-
ties of Meeker, Kandiyohi, Lac
qui Parle. Yellow Medicine,
Swift and Chippewa. Last year
Judge Powers had more than
1000 cases on his calendar, and,
allowing for six days work in
every week of the year, the usual
holidays, and short summer
vacation, he would be compelled
to dispose of four cases day in
order to keep the docket clean.
Of course, any such performance
as this was entirely out of the
question, and Judge Powers is
badly behind. The 1000 cases
referred to did not include cham
Der work, motions and other
routine work, calling for much
time, but which does not find any
place on the docket proper, No
wonder Judge Powers came. out
at the end of the year beh d
with his work. No wonder that
he has come out behind every
year since he has sat on the
twelfth district bench.
1t has been suggested that the
legislature might very properly
take Meeker and Kandiyohi
counties from the twelfth district
Repville county from the ninth
district, which is also oyerbur-
dened, together with Wright
county from the fourth district,
and constitute out of them a new
district to be known as the sew
enteenth.. Anoka and Isanti
counties, under such an arrange
ment, might be added to the first
district, which, at present, has
two judges, whose work is not
burdensome. and so Hennepin
county mightremain in a district
by itself.
Or Wright and Renville might
be added to the twelfth district,
and a second Judge provided for.
Either plan would have the same
effect. @
r The matter Of the relief of
Judge Powers has already taken.
form in MonteVideo, and an orga-
nization is being perfected there,
whichsis tosinclude leading men
from all of the counties, whose.
business it will be this winter to
see that the legislature has full
knowledge Of the situation. b A
bill will be prepared at the proper
time and introd duced by som 8:
n mem I'M ber from the district, pro.
vidlng for the relief of Judge
Powers. It will prot badly be
drawn up along some one.of the
lines referred to above. Minne.
