A horse, proud of his fine trappings,
met an ass on the highway. The ass,
being heavily laden with a cane and a
large chrysanthemum, moved slowly
out of the way. Hardly" said the
horse, "can / resist kicking you with
my heels" The ass grew real angry
and dashed his cigarette at the horse,
saying: You howwid cweatuh, If you
dare to kick me l shawn't evan go to
anothah one of youah beastly old
shows in the Camden, so thaiah!"
Moral: The horse should have kicked
him instead of talking through his
hames.-Truth.

Boston Globe: Why did Tom Reed ever
handicap his chances for nomination by
giving tacit approval to the Dingley mis-

needed rest from tariff agitation, and yet
he offers no remonstrance to this pro-
nunciamento of McKinleyism. Tom Reed

Application Denied.

The officials of the Duluth land Of
fee Saturday denied the application
of Alex Mcdonald contest the
homestead entry of A. L. Larson to
lots 3, 5 and 6 in 80, 63-l1. The
ground upon which the desired priv
ilege of contesting the entry was
made is that an application by the
state of Minnesota to contest the
lots 3 and 6 is now pending before the
commissioner of the general land Of
flee. Under the circumstances Re
ceiver Ryan and Register Taylor did
not consider it was within their juris-
diction to grant the application of
Mr.. Mcdonald. The contest of the
state in this connection relates to
what is known as the section 80 case.
The hustle for the land described
will be very interesting for the stake
is large. 1t was only week ago that
DR.. Alden relinquished the land in
question and A. L. Larson promptly
filed upon it. The land is very val
liable it is claimed by competent au-
thOrity.
Mr.. Mcdonald, who is DESTROYS Of
contesting the entry made by Mr.
Larson set forth in his application to
the Office series of strong allegations
in which he expresses anxiety for an
opportunity to prove. He alleges
that the entry of Mr.. Larson was not
made in good faith: that it was made
entirely for and in the interest of the
Minnesota Iron company to be by him
relinquished to its representative as
soon us the company shall have Sc
cured sufficient scrip with which to
enter it. Deponent believed that Mr.
Larson's entry was made to seggre-
gate the land and thus prevent others
from appropriating it under the law
Deponent sets forth that Mr.. Larson
is an employe of Draper, Davis g.
Hollister, who are the attorneys for
the Minnesota Iron company! 1t is
further alleged that Mr.. Larson, ac-
cording to the belief and information
of the deponent, had entered and
holds the land, not for the legitimate
benefits which might accrue to him,
but for a consideration.

THE PIONEER
Rum0r has This Valuable Prep
erty Sold to the Consolidated.
Denied by Prominent Members
of the Pioneer Company.

There was very robust rumor on
the street last evening to the effect
that the Pioneer iron mine near Ely
had been purchased by the Consolid-
ated Mining Co. The report is quite
generally credited. but there are some
men in touch with mining matters
who think the deal has not yet been
consumated.
The reported consideration for the
property was 81, 100000. 1t has been
generally known that the Pioneer
people were anxious to sell, and that
the Consolidated held 100000 OPP
ton. A prominent mining man said,
when told of the rumor. that he
thought it very probable that the
deal had been consumated.
The Pioneer is producer of hard
ore, a quality which is required to
mix with the softer ores of
the Mesaba. If the Consolidated
company has secured the Pioneer it
IS the only producer or nara ore In
the group of mines. In the event of
the purchase the extension of the Du-
luth, Missabe and Northern road to
the mine is regarded as quite certain.
Duluth News-Tribune.
Several of the people prominently
connected with the inner workings of
the Minnesota, Pioneer and Consoli-
dated companies deny the report, but
say that the consumaton of the deal
is likely to follow within very short
time. 1t is we'll known fact that
the Consolidated and the Minnesota
companies are both after this valuable
piece OF mining property and it only
remains to be seen which will come
up to the figures asked by the Pioneer
people.

KAUFMAN & YEZNER.
Jury Directed TO Return a Verdict of Not
Guilty.

Guilty.
One of the criminal suits brought
against Dave 3. YeZner and NJ. Kauf-
man, formerly Ely merchants, was
thrown out of court Friday by Judge
Willis on the ground that the state
was not able to show that the
financial statement which McKibbin
Il Co., received from the mercantile
agency was authorized by the de-
PENDANTS and sent to the prosecuting
witnesses by their knowledge and
order.
The indictment returned against
these defendants sets forth that they
made false representations of their
assets to a mercantile agency and
that McKibbin & Co., relying upon
that statement, gave them credit to
the amount of several thousand
dollars. 1t was commended by the de-
PENDANTS that the statement was
given in May and that the goods were
bought from McKibbin & Co. in the
latter part of the fall. In the mean
time, it was claimed, the condition
and amount of the assets of the de-
PENDANTS had changed and that they
had not authorized the statement
made early in the year to be used
several months later The county at
torney was of the opinion that when
the statement was furnished to a
mercantile agency it was furnished
for the purpose of giving information
to anyone who has occasion to deal
with the firm making the statement
and that knowing this the defendants
authorized the statements for use in
estimating their business responsible
ity. Judge Willis ruled as Indicated
above and Mr.. Butler said he would
move to enter nolle prosequi. The
defendants, thinking that such action
would not be bar to another indict-
ment under the same charge, objected
to this motion. Judge Willis sus-
tanned the objection and ordered the
jury to return a verdict Of not guilty.
The other case against Yezner and
Kaufman will be tried Feb. %. In
that case, which is almost similar to
this, the prosecuting witness is Mr..
Guiterman, who is now in New York.

present terminus at Gunfiint Lake to
Mine Centre, and possibly to Fort
Frances, the pre-, ent year, says the
Rainy Lake Journal.
1t can be set down as settled that
those people are not going to be
caught mapping with possible war
in sight and have no protection for
these valuable gold fields. That is
not the British way of doing things
and their activity in getting their
defenses in order over the line is a
further pointer that railroads will
not be neglected or overlooked, and
for that reason, if for no other. the
work on that railroad will be hurried
to completion to the point indicated,
even though the American connection
is delayed between Gunflint and Ely.
If this prediction is verified by act
of the Canadian parliament, it of
course will bring about similar moves
on this side of the boundary, which is

all here, both Canadians and Ameri-
cans.

Mr. Towne's amendment to the
bond bill, which received more votes
than any other amendment that was
offered in the house, was as follows:
THAT any person may deposit for
coinage in any mint of the United
States, gold bullion or silver bullion
not less than $50 in value, and suf-
ficiently pure not to require refining
before being coined; and the same
shall be coined free of charge, the

containing fifteen and One-half times
as many grains Of pure silver as there
are grains of pure gold in the gold
dollar and nineteenth fine, being
35991 grains of pure silver and $3.50
grains of alloy, a total of 3999 grains
of standard silver.
"Said depositor in exchange for
such bullion shall receive at the
option of the secretary of the treasury
either coins similar to those into
which the metal is coined, or treasury
notes OF convenient denominations,
promising to pay an equivalent
number of dollars. which notes upon
presentation for redemption shall be
payable in either gold or silver coin
at the option of the secretary Of the
treasury.
"Gold coins, silver dollars and treas
ury notes herein provided for shall be

and private. The existing silver dol
lars shall be retired and coined accord
ing to the ratio herein provided, the
profits accruing therefrom to be

under which gold and silver at the
ratio of to 154 shall have equal ac-
cess to their minis, and full legal
