In the initial stages. The lrst case. called
to it's attention is the outcome Of the Ex-
celsior row, which it appears will never
down as long as there are courts Of law
and grand Jurors to whom to tell 1.-The
troubles Of the Excelsiorites. In vain do

A. F. and L. E. Kelley, mortgage loans,
with offices in 115 Temple Court, made an
assignment on Monday to c. M. Hanson
and A. C. Cobb, jointly. Their business
was principally farm loans, of-which they
handled a large number in Minnesota

principally by the firm advancing money
for borrowers who were delinquent on
their interest and taxes, although it was
not their practice to guarantee loans that
were placed Liabilities between $780,
900 and $1500O0. - '-'',

kinleys "Open-the-Mills" speech, that
The way to open the mills was to t1rst
open the farms Fix -our monetary sys-
TEN so that the producers will have some
thing to buy with. When will wheat or
cotton advance as long as we furnish En-

buy those products of other countr -es.
Last year she bought 81 million bushels
of wheat Of India, and 100 million pounds

The Triple Alliance in Minnesota are
making a grand fight considering the fact
that they have practically no funds to work
WITH. Jas. w. Griffin, chairman OF the
silver committee, is distributing literature
furnished by the national committee but

funds for campaign purposes. 81 E,..R,
Lynch, secretary OF the Peoples Party

although hampered for lack of money; The
Democratic central committee have been
doing large amount OF work, but the
only state committee which seems to have
plenty of honest 81 money for campaign
purposes is the Republican. They are

"Charleys Aunt" the Famous comedy
success, interpreted by the same excel
lent organization that presented the com
edy in all of the principal theaters, In all
the large cities throughout the United
States. will be seen here at the Bijou
next week. 'Charley's Aunt" has been
touched the Arctic circle in its successful
near the Antarctic circle, and has almost
fuancia, peregrinations. All of Europe's
capitols have applauded it, and the prin-
cipal cities of America are still sounding
its praises. 1t IS now in it's third year in
London. Paris laughed over it, Berlin
crowded it's largest houses Even St.
Petersburg ventured out of doors for it,
and the Swedes and Norwegians have ap-
plauded it. Spain, France, Italy and
Portugal have enthused over 1t in turn:
while the benighted inhabitants of South
Africa, in dress suits of a single article,
have actually laughed at the funny en-
tanglement of the play. The story is very
simple, but the plot Is natural. Brandon
Thomas, the author, has succeeded IN
starting twelve single souls, with six
single thoughts, for six purposes, to-wit:
matr,mony. "Charlsy's Aunt" will be
the laughing event Of the season.
