SHORTLY after Benjamin Harrison
was elected President, upon July 1,
1889, the Understanding debt Of the
United States amounted to $685.
1853, $3.50 At the close of his Admin.
istration, July l., 1893, it was $780,
029, $3.50. During Harrison's admins
istratiOn the reduction of the interest
bearing debt amounted to S244. 82l,-
$40. Upon July l, 1896, the inter-
est-bearing debt amounted to eS47,-
1863, $50, showing that during Mr..
Cleveland's Administration the inter-
est>bearing debt of the United States
during only three years had increased

of the debt during Harrison's Ad.

an increase OF over 100000, 900 IN

Tne free CrayOn Picture and the
Expensive Frames.
Judge Orr and a jury, composed Of
nine good and true men, the other three
subpoenaed not showing up, listened
for couple of hours yesterday after
noon to evidence in the cases of Leon
Michaels, J. F. Hotz and H Michaels
The three men were in the employ of
the Berlin Art company and were ar
rested on complaint of Mrs. Lizzie Nc
Kenzie, charged with larceny. Some
months ago Mrs. Mckenzie signed a.
contract to which she did not pay
particular attention at the time She
also gave to the company a couple Of
photographs of members Of the family,
her understanding being that the com
pany would make an enlarged crayon
Of the photos free of charge The
company did this, but on the contract
which Mrs. Mckenzie signed was a.
clause to the effect that she must buy
a frame from the company. When this
was called to the attention of Mrs. Nc
Kenzie she objected and demanded
back the photographs and refused to
purchase frames for the crayons The
company demurred, and, falling to re-
turn the photographs, Mrs. Mckenzie
had the three agents who at odd times
had called at her house, arrested for
larceny. The case was tried before a
jury ten days ago and the result was
a disagreement. Yesterday this course
was prevented by Judge Orr taking the
case from the jury as soon as the evil
dence for the prosecution was in, and
dismiSsing the three defendants 1t
was brought out that a man named
Hamburger, living in Minneapolis, was
the manager Of the company, and that
the agents did not have possession Of
the photographs On this showing
Judge. Orr dismissed the case. sug-
costing that a complaint against Ham
burger would be the correct thing in
the case. 1t developed during the for
mer trial that the art company made
their money on the frames which were
sold and the sale of frames was so
profitable that enlarged crayons were
made free.

NEEDS OF REAPPORTI0NME
Changed Conditions Which Have
Taken Place in the State,

When the legislature of Minnesota
meets in January, it has already been
animated by the members from the
northern counties that they will de-
: mand reappOrtionment of the legis-
lative representation. Some of them
have been conducting a quiet campaign
in this connection, and at least one
member, who for the present is name
less, proposes to f1llibuster against any
legislation, unless the Southern part
of the state admits the justice of re-
apportonment at this time and evil
denceS an honest intention to give the
newer counties their fair share in the
government of the state as prescribed
under the constitution.
ae The constitution of Minnesota seems
to intend that there should be a re-
apportionment after every census This
was clearly the reason for a state CEN
sus in the fiVe-year period between the
national census; otherwise there is no
special object in counting the people,
and eXpending the large amount which
this enumeration costs.
The early apportiOnment shows how
from the start the southeastern part of
the state has had the population, and
dominated the legislation and admins
tration Of the state. The center of
population, naturally, was in the dis
trict which can be roughly described as
that including the settlements of Still
water, st. Paul and what is now Min
neapolis. The country along the Mis-
sissippi to the south, and including
that section of the state which is cut off
by the Minnesota river to the north
and west and the Mississippi to the
east. going west as far as Mankato
and including all the counties to the
Iowa line, embracing about seventh
of the area, filed up first, and it has
always had more than half OF the rep
resentation, including that territory the

caribou, or deer, or amy part thereof
except the skin or head.
This provision shall also apply to
any agent Of any common carrier SO
consigning or handling such game
The remainder, of the law provides
PENALTIES, prohibits shooting the game
named except with a gun held to the
shoulder of the hunter, forbidding
hunting with dogs, traps, etc.
It will be seen considerable latitude
is given the game wardens in the seiz-
ure Of game supposed to be contra
band. The mere discovery of a saddle
OF Venlson in shipment to commits
sion merchant or public meat dealer
warrants its confiScation. The con-
signment of birds in boxes labeled
rag carpets" or window shades as
has sometimes been done, is also a
notable violation of the law.
The law goes further, however, and
provides that the possession of any
dead game prohibited by it shall be
prinla facie evidence that it was the
property of the state of Minnesota at
the time it was caught, taken or killed.
and the accused shall diSprOve that as
sumption by competent testimony.
Common carriers are required to re-
port at once ito the commission all
offers Of game made to them for trans
ularly constituted wardens constables,
police officers, sheriffs and their depu-
ties, are authorized to arrest Violators
in Of the law caught in the act without
securing warrants. Seizures of the
contraband game may also be made
without a warrant, and provision is
made for the insurance of search war
rants to inspect places where it may
be suspected that 5contraband game is
being concealed. q
In spite of the vigilance Of the war
dens, there ise very little doubt that
large amounts-of deer meat are being
shipped with success from Northern
points The trunk racket is being
worked with a great deal of success
from some localities, and it is. difficult
to arrest the progress of a travelling
| man with three large sample cases en-
route to Chicago. There are also i'm
mense numbers, of deer being shipped
from far northern points into Canada
and thence East over the Canadian Pa
cific. That the market hunter Is re-
| duced to such straits, however, seems
to indicate plainly that he is pretty
hard pressed. Mr.. Fullerton Is salts
fed that the situation is being handled
in Minneapolis and st. Paul better than
it has ever been in the past, and mar
ket hunting will be discouraged by the
stringent regulations at present being
put into force.
In Minneapolis yesterday, Warden
James Nash procured a batch Of war
rants covering the Central market from
end to end, made a systematic exami-
nation of the stOrerooms in that local
ity and confiscated large amount Of
game. Seven saddles were taken from
the premises of one firm, three from
another, and one from another.

THAT INSURANCE PLUM.
Another Name Mentioned in Con-
nectfon With the Place.

j. j. Lawrence, until a few days ago
a member of the firm of Weed & Law
renee. and next to the oldest inSuran nee
man in the state in point of service is
now mentioned for the insurance COM
missionership. 1t is claimed that Mr..
Lawrence's whole business life has
been training for the position. Still
the idea among insurance men is that
if Gov. Clough hands it out as a politi-
cal reward it will go to Eli Warner
and if he fills it with an eye to promo
ton and a reward for good service rem
dered in Office it will go to Acting Com
missioner Lightbourn. The Minneapo-
lis Journal speaking about the vacancy
says: 1T is entirely possible that Eli
S. Warner will not be appointed state
Insurance commissioner. 1t is said
that the governor has by no means
made UP his mind about the matter,
and that while Warmers appointment
is is, Of course, possible, it is by no
means probable at this time. AS a
matter of fact, the man who fills that
office properly must possess good deal
Of technical information, which Is not
possessed by the average man who Is
an applicant for it; and yet, the salary
is so small-$2, 500 yenr-that it is
difficult to get the right man. Were
the salary $1,000, which it is believed is
not too high when the duties and re-
sponsibilities of the place are consid-
cred, it would be an easy matter to get
experts to fill it. The large majority
of the men who are now seeking the
appointment have no qualifications
whatever In fact, D. G. Lightbourn,
deputy commissioner, is in every way
the best fitted man on the list. For
almost three years he has been the in
surance commissioner, in fact, owing
to the failing health Of his chief, and
the standing which the department has
acquired in that time is the result en-
tireIy of his work. Everybody con-
cedes that he would make an ideal
