Spencer Acklin's Luck,

One of the animal visitors to North
Dakota, for the shooting season, is Mr..
Spencer Acklin of Toledo, Ohio. He has
spent several seasons at the Gray place
at Spiritwood lake, and made numerous
friends here who will be interested in the
following Toledo, o., dispatch showing
his good luck Jn owning stock which the
big sugar trust is after.
The deal by which the Havemeyer
sgents secured $40 shares of the Wool.
son Spice company stock for s64O,OOO
was closed today. This leaves only 60
shares. They are held by Spencer Acklin
one OF the original projectors of the com-
pany, who has all along been adverse to
the deal. The deal makes total IN
vestment by the sugar trust of 81 ,9O5 900
for the LAO shares It has secured. The
Woolson has been the most remarkable
dividend paying property in this part OF
the country, as it was organized in 1882
with $4,000, and not another penny has
been added. Since then it has paid as
high an annual dividend as 525 per cent.
The sugar trust will have full charge by

Towne's Opinion.
A Very Remarkable Percent
age of Increase in
Four Years.
Tom Reed a Power That May
Oppose President
Mckinley.

The Minneapolis Journal interviewed
Congressman Towne on his return from
congress during the holiday recess:
"What a pity Bryan wasn't elected"
said he, with these banks failing on
all sides. What shame it is that the
gold bug papers and gold bugs generally
can't hold up their bands in holy terror
and say: See what you have done! OF
course, I am sorry for those failures.
but IN the end it may be good thing,
for it may teach the correct ideas Of
finance. Perhaps after this thing has
continued for few years longer the peo-
pie will grasp the idea that while conn.,
dence is a grand thing you need money
to DO business.
"ls the silver issue dead cause? Most
emphatically not. It'll more alive today
than ever and it will be the issue 10 every
campaign until it wins, as [ have no
doubt it will. AS for the leader in 1900,
it seems to me that Mr.. Bryan IS the
man. With the count against us, Bryan
polled more votes than any democratic
candidate ever did before him. In Mn
nesota, for instance, be polIed more votes
than any successful candidate for the
presidency ever has. How do You ex-
PLAIN that fact?"
The reporter suggested that 1T was ex-
planned by the increased total vote due
to the fact that men who have not voted
at previous elections did so this year.
"Then you'll have to assume, answered
Mr.. Towne, that hundreds of men who
never voted before in their lives voted
this year. 1t is preposterous! The per-
centage OF increase from presidential
year to presidential year since the war
has nothing to compare with this years
increase over 80. There is only one ex-
planatlon-glgantio frauds. Yes, that's
what mean. I have been looking thie
matter up and find that III some COM
munities in such an old state as Ohio
there we're cast 60 many votes that there
is one on the average TO every 2ss per-
sons. Who ever heard of such ratio
before outside of a mining camp? There
are plenty OF places that can name
where the ratio is to 81.
LAS for congressional matters, con-
gressmen generally are much displeased
with Olney's claim that the recognition
OF new governments is the prerogative of
the executive; but the Cuban resolutions
will not pass. They won't pass because
the essential part of the present congress,
Tom Reed. has decreed that they shall
not. Neither will there be any attempt
at tariff legislation this session.
"Major Mckinley, I predict, will sum
mon an extra session Of the next congress-
before March 20, and tariff legislation
will be rushed. I believe his admlnis-
trstion will change front on the Cuban
question. He is not such an obstinate,
self satisfied man as Cleveland and will
yielc to the popular wish instead of
facing IN exactly the opposite direction.

The Van Nortwick interests, aside

prepared year ago placed their wealth
at 81, 800, GOO. They own business
block, residences and two farms in

$3.50, 900; also the Western paper fac
tories of Batavia and kaukauna, the

The brothers own 464 shares in the
Atlas National bank of Chicago.
The Van Nortwick bank in Batavia
had large clientage. The bank has
been soliciting deposits for some time
past, paying large interest,a fact which
with good business men, gave evidence
of weakness, if not distress. Such was
the general confidence of Batavia de-
positors in the Van Nortwicks, how.
ever, that there was no run on the
bank, Notwithstanding the reports of
the trouble of the Atlas bank, and the
Van Nortwick's connection with the
same.
Cashier w. L. Grimes of the bank,
when seen by reporter, declined to
give statement of the banks assets
and liabilities, simply declaring that
the depositors would be paid in full.
The Van Vortwick's assets, he said,
were ample to meet all liabilities if
the assignees took sufficient time to
realize upon the property.

The suspension of the Washington bank
was due to the fact that it's clientele, be-
