Minneapolis Times: Some Of the
local lumber manufacturers think
seriously Of shutting down their
mills. The demand for lumber Is
lighter than it mas been for many
years, and most OF the local lumber
men appear to he l.crirctlv willing
to go into an agreement to close
down within week or two. The
lumbcrmcn, or at least some Of them,
say the disposition to curtnil the
output is bnsrd very largely upon
the present political ngitnti IN, and
the uncertainty OF the future. They
say it is impossible to get sufii'ient
money with which to continue
operations. Ii the mills do not close
within Il week or so, as some believe
they will. they will not he operated
Inter than Oct. Is, closing down
nboat u month earlier than usual.
The Importance Of this matter can
be appreciated when 1t IL known
that there are about 5000 men en-
plOyru in the lumber industry at
minneapolis.

PLANNED TO ESCAPE.
County Criminals
Have a Small Arsenal
in Jail.

A prisoner that was released from
the Stearns county Jail u few days
ago gave the sheriff Il tip that some
OF the prisoners might attack him
some day. and the officer was H.
ducpd to examine the cells carefully.
The st. Cloud Times says: "Fhe
gang in the jail that was suspected
by the sheriff consisted OF William
Morton. who was caught going
through store at Pnynesville;
Robert Allen, who is bound over for
forgery; John Riley, another burglar;
ana John Gibbons, the young fellow
who was arrested a short time ago
for stealing water melons.
1t il around their cell that particu-
lar attention was paid. Upon Ill
vestigation it was found that the
ventilation pipe was stuffed up at
the bottom with rags. These were
pulled out and up in the pipe the Of
ticcrs were astOnished to find Il big
bulldog revolver with every chamber
loaded. There " as a dish filed with
salt in the cell and in the bottom Of
this a large quantity of cartridges
had been hid. On the person OF one
of the prisoners was found Il razor
made into y file. In another place
was found Il slug shot. Under u
cleuth in one part Of the cell was
found u file, and in several other
places were found three pocket knives.
A careful examination of the bars
of the cells was made, but the work
Of saving through them had not yet
been commenced. The entire Jail
will be given another complete over
hauling in the near future as it is
feared that some things might have
escaped the officers yesterday in
their search.
The plan of the Jail breakers I'M
doubtedly was to saw themselves
ont of the cells and get into the cor
ridors, and then lay for the jailor
when he opened the door in the
morning and either make him do
their bidding or kill him.

Plenty Logs at Minneapolis.

Minneapolis Zimmerman. While
the lumber market is not as brisk cs
the manufacturers Of the city would
like to see it. there is at present no
intention of shu, ting down the mills.
At the upper gap there Is a supply OF
logs that will keep the mills going
for another month, and there Is
another drive that is now running
into the upper works. The rear OF
this last drive Is near Monticello and
there are about 125, OOO, 900 feet in 1t.
Last night the log committee OF the
local log owners went up to Month

company. II the mills should decide
to make an early closing the logs in
this. the last drive Of the season, can
he pOcketed behind the many islands.
If the mills decide to continue there

Minneapolis Lumberman: There
has been Il good deal Of talk
on the money question among the
employees of the saw mills, and from
the talk it seemed as though there
was Il large free silver sentiment. In
order to test this, u vote Of the
employees OF the H. G. Akeley Lumber
company, at the mill of that company
in this city, was taken last Saturday
with the result as follows: There
were 4S? votes cast for the two
nominees of the Republican and
Democratic parties. The men were
provided with slips, and the vote
was taken according to the Au-
stralian ballot system. The result
was that Mckinley received 3SG
votes, and Bryan 1913.

Brainerd Tribune: Here is a
~straw' Of more than passing in
terest to the people of Brainerd:
Mr.. G.. N. Parker was asked by re-
preventative of the Tribune the other
day in regard to his proposed electric
light and water power deal, and ne
replied: "Well, the Eastern men who
were in with me on the deal write
me that they will do nothing until
they know whether this govern
ment is going to be run by Mckinley,
Whitney, Reed and Allison or ny
Bryan, Altgeld, Debs and Coxey.'
There is a good deal to think ABOUT
in that one little sentence.

Mr.. McClpary said wehave had the
gold standard silce 1853. The
Pioneer Press says we had free
coinage until 1873. Evidently T. dif-
iprence Of opinion.-Little Falls
Herald.
Mr.. McCleary plainly stated that
the government allowed free coinage
of silver dollars from 1858 to 1873,
and that very few were coined, ana
scarcely any circulated. FOR the
simple reason that the silver tullion
it took to make dollar was worth
more than Il dollar In the market. IL
free coinage IL adopted at 16 to !. we
will still have free coinage Of gold,
but our currency will be a silver
standard, and gold will be coined
but little, II any, and will not circu-
late on it's coin value.

Bridge Contract let.

The contract for the reconstruction
OF the Mississippi river wagon bridge
between Royalton and Two Rivers
has been let to the Chicago Bridge
& Iron company for $4,000. The
Chicago company was the lowest
bidder at the time the cOnmitte in
charge of the work received the bids,
and it's bid was for 1891. The COM
mittee were aware that the bridge
could be built for much less money
and rejected all bids with the exceD-
ton of the Chicago company, which
was the lowest, and took two days
to consider it.
At the expiration OF the two days
the committee made the company s
representative Il proposition to give
it the contract for $4,000, and he
took 1he offer to submit it to his
company. Last night the committee
were informed that it's proposition
had been accepted and the bridge
will be rebuilt for $4,000, nearly $500
less than the lowest bid put in for
the work.

CHURCH DEDICATION.
New Congregational Church at
Randall Dedicated Sunday
Afternoon.

The First congregational church
and society dedicated their new and
comfortable church building ut RAN
dali, Sunday. Aug. 8. 1t was sea-
son OF rejoicing to the people OF
Randall and vicinity. And well they
might rejoice. For from their gifts
of land, lumber, stone, labor, money
and prayers, guided by the Jealous
and energetic pastor. has come forth
this beautiful and complete church
home.
The building is located across the
railroad track from the depot on
hill overlooking the town. built
upon a solid rock ledge; thus proving
the people "wise builders. The
edifice is very attractive, both in the
exterior and interior and IL a credit
to any community and will fill u
long felt want of the people.
Rev. Robert Ierrick. Of Minncnpo-
lis, state superin tendent OF Sunday
schools. delivered the dedicatOry adj
dress, followed by remarks from
Malcom Dana, acting pastor OF the
Little Falls congregational church,
and Rev. McLain. resident pastor OF
Randall, who explained how the
money and material had been nc-
cumulntcd for the building and
stated that when the grant Of the
congregational Building society,
which is expected soon, is received
the church would be free from debt.
There can be no doubt the intlu-
ences OF this church will mould and
unite the people into that bond OF
Christian charity where each will
esteem the other better than them
selves. and will continue a united
and harmonious whole.

Inasmuch as Senator Nelson made q

1t is votes that count and SO
far Senator Nelson has voted
right, and we are pleased to give
him credit for it. Senator Mel
son evidently knows that it is
necessary to talk against silver
lest he scare the gold idolators.
And we have no doubt that he
has good reason for speaking as
he does. But that is no proof of
how he will vote on definite
measure We don't claim to
know what his views are on the
money question at present, but
his vote on the Allen resolution
proves that he is no fanatical
gold bug when it comes to voting.
That vote was considered a test
