IAN Assignment, Not a Failure"

ST. PAUL, March l6-Patrick II. Kelly,
well known Democratic politician and
leading merchant, has filed an assign
ment for the benefit of his creditors to
John E AIeagher, of Mankato, Mimi, who
will qualify in bond for the amount of
100000, which gives some idea of the size
of the failure AS no schedules have yet
been prepared, and no figures are glyon
out, this is the only means of knowing the
size Of the failure. Mr. Kelly's attorney
says there is no need for any failure as far
as financial difficulties are concerned, but
that the assignment has been made in order
to close up the estate more easily.

Richard Tobin brought suit before a Potts
willie Justice ON Saturday for salary due as
teacher in Foster township, and he was
awarded judgment for $50, one months
salary. 1t appears that Mr.. Tobin was
elected in 1891 to serve three years as pril-
cipal of the Glen Carbon schools. A special
meeting of the Board was held on Washing
toms Birthday and he was oustcd and
Richard Powell was elected to an the
vacancy. 1t is alleged that the reason for
oustng Tubin was because he closed his
school ON election day and worked for the
election of two Of his friends for School
Director, who were opposed by other mem
bers of the Board. Tobn has also brought
suit against Secretary Champion for carrying
concealed weapons and threatening him.
Champion is under bail. Tobin has also

The history of Ireland furnishes many
names which every descendant Of the Irish
race love to honor, but among that number
there are four which stand out in prominence
Burke, O'Connell, Parnell and Mccarthy.
These men have figured prominently in the
political history Of that country. Edmund
Burke's eloquence, his command Of language
and the power of argument welded by him
in debate stamps him as one Of the greatest
names in the history of political literature
His efforts in behalf of the amelioration o
Ireland his speeches upon the American
Revolution and his whole parliamentary
career are matters Of interesting history fol
the present generation.
Daniel O'Connell is another who ha
achieved greatness in Irish political history
and whose labors for the betterment of tn
condition of ireland and the mass of he
people were taken up by Charles Stewar
Pamell. Like O'Connell the latter has
bright spot in the affections Of the people o
the Green Isle. The present leader of tn
National party in Parliament Justin Nc
Carthy, is man Of vast attainments
These names, linked with that Of Rober
Emmett, are held in fond remembrance by al
Irishmen and their dqseendants.

THE manufacturers of jellies who have
heretofore made all kinds Of iellies out Of
apples, favored them with different hayors
and put them on the market labeled as peach,
strawberry plum, etc, can no longer indulge in
this gentle deception, thanks to the pure food
law. They now label the jars as of a certain
flavor, and have dropped the word jelly, so
that when the purchaser gets a jar labeled
flavor, he knows he is not getting the genuine
article, and pays for what he gets. There
was great deal of swindling in this direction
before the pure food law went into effect.

will be considered at different times. An
