and His Friend.
'T would vote for D. M. Clough for gov
ernor rather than John Lind" was the dec
laration of DR.. A. A. Ames last evening at
the mass meeting held by the mddle-of-the-
road club at Central avenue and Fifth street.
''Clough is my neighbor and friend. He is a
good fellow" continued the speaker. Il
know David Clough, / don't know this man
Lind at ALL. You will find that Lind is Re-
publican in everything but the financial ques-
ton. Now, If we are going to have only
Republicans to choose from, I'll take Gov
ernor Clough."
About 300 people gathered on the public
square last evening and there a feeling
of expectancy among the crowd. 1t was
more than the ordinary curbstone gathering.
They listened patiently for nearly an hour
to DIR. Ames' flow of rhetoric on the general
issues before they heard the specific declara-
ton about Clough and Lind.
The speaker explained his attitude by say
ing: II want to tell you how sharp the Re-
publicans are. You remember that when Mr..
Clough was lieutenant governor he helped
to elect his chief, Knute Nelson, to the United
States senate. By so doing he offended Mr..
Washburn, because the latter gentleman had
to suffer defeat in order that Clough might
become governor. Now w. d. Washburn con-
ferred with the committee of 100. When they
did not defeat Clough for a denomination,
they then brought out Lind and are going to
make the Democrats and Populists swallow
him. The candidacy of Lind Is simply a
Republican stratagem.'
The chairman ]. F. Jenkins announced
that D. M. johnson had intended to speak
but was prevented by a cold.
One Mr.. Phillips mounted the express wagon
which served rostrum and announced
that though he was no orator he had no
use for Lind and could not agree with the
proceeding speaker that he was even free
silver man. He said:
when Lind was in congress he had three
opportunities to vote for free silver. On two
occasions he voted straight against it, and on
fI,a I'd An6 tn Inv In II
table,"
There were no other speakers The crowd
expected that somebody would offer reso-
luton opposing Lind, but the managers of the
meeting seemed satisfied with a public ex-
preston of their sentiments and let the crowd
drift away without any formal action.

ID. OF Il. WILL INVESTIGATE
Inquiry VIII BE Made Into City Elk
nenaea.

A resolution was adopted at a special meet
ing of the board OF trade yesterday pledging
that body to thorough investigation of the
expenses of the city departments, and also
recommending that an expert be employed to
secure accurate information. The resolution
was presented by c. S. Gains and adopted
without much discussion.
j. B. Bassett strayed from the subject to
bear down hard on the county commissioners
who, he said, were spending SIS 600 a year
for a dredge boat on Minnetonka and from
$4,000 to $4,000 annually In building roads
TO benefit the country towns of Hennepin
county. Mr.. Bassett wanted to know IL the
men who carried dinner pals in Mime
apolis would have to go on eternally building
up Bloomington, Crystal Lake and other vii
lagos, which were environed by farm lands
worth $50 an acre, and which were assessed
at but $40 an acre. He challenged Dr. Bar
nard, member of the county commission
who was present, to correct him IL he was
misstating facts. DR.. Barnard had previously
pledged his hearty cooperation in reducing
county taxes to the minimum, and could not
hear Mr.. Bassett.

investigation he had succeeded in finding
such a company. Hansen says that 1t was
only one Of the many talks he had with
Griebler and does not remember what COM
pany It was. Thus 1t seems strange why
that extra policy does not turn up. 1t Is
suggested by some that. perhaps, Griebier
put the policy aside in some place which Is
unknown to his friends. With that In view

thus far proved fruitless.

GRrEBLER's LIFE INSURANCE.
What Has Become of 1t Mystfffes Hi,
Friends.

The late Joseph Griebler's life insurance is
causing considerable anxiety among his
friends, and there IL more or less speculation
on the question of what has become of it.
That he had insured his life is positively
known, but the total amount is uncertain.
Before Griebler went Into the racing busi-
ness he had taken out $1,000, as the following
letter from w. w. Stoppe a brother of Mrs.
Griebler, which appears in the ST. Cloud
Journal-Press shows: In addition to the
policy OF 5000 which Mr.. Griebler had taken
out in the Granite City camp of Modern
Woodmen OF America, of st. Cloud. he had
also policy Of the same amount in the
Macabees of the World lodge at Clear Lake.
and was In good standing at the time Of the
fatal accident" Thus 1t seems that Mrs.
Griebler and her children are at least pro-
tected by that amount.
The strange thing of the matter is that
Griebler had stated to A. A. Hanson, in a
casual talk upon the dangers OF the racing
business that even If he met with fatal
accident the next day, his family was pro-
vided for. He further added that he had a
hard time to find a company which would

sition that free coinage of silver and gold at

lean people There was a good-sized audi

well supported by believers in the cause as
each presented 1t. Mr.. Hewitt took the
ground that 16 to / coinage would not result
in bimetallism. but in silver recommendation,
and his argument was devoted to showing
that the ratio WIS wrong, and that it would
be dishonest to restore silver to free coinage
at the ratio proposed.

PRISON WORK.
Report of Secretary George ID. Holt
of the Local Association.


The Hennepin County Prison association, of
which G. ID. Holt is secretary, has made a
report for July. 1t shows that all cases which
have needed attention have been investigated,
and the different children in the reform school
at Red Wing, and in the state public school
at Owatonna, who have been committed from
this county, have been visited and their con-
dtion looked after. The school at Owatonna
is full, and this alone has prevented IL child
rem from receiving the care of that institu-
ton.
Several cases which have been referred to
the outing association have received the atten-
tion of that body Many cases have been re-
ferred to the prison association from the po-
lice, private citizens, poor department and
other sources. Some individual examples of
the work are the finding of a good home for
a boy of u years, and the taking of a boy of
years from house of i'll fame and placing
him in good home in a neighboring county.
Another case was that of boy of 49, the
only son of poor widow. He had been SEN
fenced to the reform school, and through the
intervention of the association his sentence
was committed and small fine recommended.
