A PECULIAR ASSIGNMENT.
Pat Kelly Assigns TO Facilitate settls-
ment IN Case He pies


ST PAUL. Mimi, March rs. Patrick
n. Kelly. a we'll known Democratic
politician and leading merchant. has
fled an assignment for the benefit Of
his creditors TO John f. Meagher Of
Mankato, Mimi, who will qualify in
bond for the amount of $500, 900.
which gives some idea of the size Of
the failure.
The assignment is a peculiar one,
according TO the story Of Mr. Kelly's
attorney, which is that there 10 no
need of any failure, so far as fancial
difficulties are concerned, but the as
signment has been made in order to
close up the estate the more easily IN
case Mr.. Kelly should not recover
from the severe attack of pneumonia
with which he has been confined to his
rooms at the Merchants hotel for
some days
IL is further stated that the p. II.
Kelly Mercantile Company will assign
TO w b. Jordan, Of Miles City, for the
same reasons that caused the assign
ment of Mr.. Kelly. The mercantile
company is rated at $500, 0O0 and its
credit is the highest. The business
will go on as usual and will in no way
be interfered with by the assignment.

many healthy instincts, quite uncon

of implicit obedience, and not com.

disparagement, but simply as presenting
historical fact recognize the Puritan
creed as one that has influenced many
powerful and noble minds and has con-
tributed most valuable elements to our
composite English character. Even the
Puritan Sunday, mistaken though
think it, and of strictness too narrow
and exaggerated for ordinary human
nature to bear, has so excellent side
to it. and has been SO closely bound up
with customs and habits of great social
value, with definite times for general

Our Wheel Experimentation Items OF
Interest To Bike Riders.


The l.. A. w. bulletin in recent
issue says: Bicycles are personal prop
erty and any assessor may tax them as
he would wheelbarrow or lawn
mower, in proportion to value. The
idea OF putting a special tax on bicycles
is absurd, and should not be seriously
considered. The bicycle is not exempt
from taxation. SO far as we know, in
any part Of the country, though there
may be temptation to try and make
it so If the Especial tax" fellows do not
subside. II assessors will place a fair
valuation on bicycles and treat them
as they do other property, we have no
doubt wheelmen will, as rule, be con-
tent to accept the situation, but to put
a special tax on the soft-footed wheel
on the plea that the money is needed
to keep up roads is not good logic
The only place where special tax
should be levied for such purpose is
on the Notwithstanding narrow-tired
wagon.
Verify, it is good and pleasant to
cycle together in unity. The club run
fingers long in the memory OF the
wheelman whose tire ana upturned
tack come together without warning.
tt
Verify, a man may do whatsoever he
chooseth with his own. Yet even his
own bicycle may bring him TO grief
and spread him in the gutter of a
muddy road.
t
Investing in a poor wheel is like
furnishing the money for an uncertain
business venture-you soon have the
experience, but your money is gone.

In the campaign Of 1890 it was claim
ed that the election of Cleveland and
the enactment Of free trade policy
would mean greater prosperity. The
people believed it, elected Cleveland,
the Mckinley bill was knocked out and
times Immediately changed for the
worse. The Sherman silver law was
then claimed to be the trouble; n
special session Of congress was called
and that was repealed; times grew
harder; the reciprocity law conceived
by Blaine was repealed; the depression
grew worse. Now the same doctors
have diagnosed the case again and say
free silver will cure the patient. There
is only one true cure. Re-establish
the Republican party in power; admin
lister strong doses OF protection and the
bond-sellng era in times Of peace will
