Six Cents a Week.

The election of Mr.. Mckinley was the &C.
casion of the most rapid and widespread bus
mess revival ever known in this country.
There is a certainty that good times will pre-
vail and that people will earn money and
have money to spend. THE INDEPENDENT,
of New York, was foremost in upholding the
principles for which Mr.. Mckinley stands,
and rejoices in the better outlook for every
man, woman and child in the country.
For forty-nine years THE INDEPENDENT
has held the first position among the great
religious, literary and family weeklies o. this
country, and it proposes to fill that position
in the future. 1t has adopted several new,
interesting and important features, two OF
which are: "The Survey of the World,''
which gives in a concise form all the import
ant events that have happened in the world
during the week, and ssWork Indoors and
Out" which tells men, women, boys and
girls how to earn money in variety of ways.
In general the paper is particularly fitted for
professional men, business men, merchants,
farmers and families. 1t costs but six cents
a week-$3. 90 year or at thai rate for any
part of year. A specimen copy will be
sent to any person free by addressing THE
INDEPENDENT, New York City. {

Congressman Displeased Because River

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-It is expected
that a number of resolutions will be in
troduced into congress inquiring of the
secretary of war why contracts have
not been made at various points for be-
ginning river and harbor work, in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
river and harbor act, and also why GER
tain work has not been ordered where
contracts are not necessary. Senators
and representatives from districts for
which appropriations have been made,
upon arriving in this city, have visited
the war department. with their COM
plants. The replies received to their
inquiries have not as rule been salts

secretary of war will be asked to make
public reply to congress.

The Journal from Washington says
Senator Davis seemed little surprised
when spoken to regarding the proba-
bility of Congressman McCleary be-
coming member of Mr. Mckinley s
cabinet, but emphasized his opinion
that Mr.. McCleary would make an ex-
cellent man for the place.
The additional fact that Chairman
Babcock of the Republican congress
sional committee has acknowledged
that McCleary would make a good Sec
rotary of the treasury, makes Mr.. Nc
Cleary's candidacy assume more def
mite shape. While the fact that Nc
Cleary desired this position was news
to the members of the Minnesota dele
cation, they were almost a unit in their
approval of his fitness for the place,
although several were somewhat doubt
full bout his chance of success.

Postal Matters Are Also
Adopted.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The house,
without wasting time, proceeded to
business, and before the session closed
had passed three bills of considerable
Importance and the first of the regular
supply bills-that for pensions.
Three of the bills related to postal
matters. One provided for the use of
private mailing cards of the same gen.
eral size and character as the present
postal cards, when l cent stamps are
affixed. Another provided. for a limited
indemnity of $40 for the loss Of regis.
tered mail matter, and the third pro-
vided for private carrier service in
towns and villages
Where No Free Delivery Exista.
1t provides that on the application Of 20
persons receiving their mail at the same
office the postmaster shall appoint such
persons as are willing to undertake the
collection and delivery Of mails: that
the charge be not to exceed cent for
each letter and that the charge shall be
paid by the beneficiaries.
The pension bill was passed without
factious opposition but Mr. Grow of
Pennsylvania took occasion in the de-
bate to submit some views in favor of
higher tariff duties based on that por-
ton of the presidents message relating
to the tariff. The bill carries $I41, $685.

The NewPaynesvilIe Mill Burned

New DAYNEsyIILE, December 3, 1896.
The New Paynesville Roller mill owned
and operated bv Hecklln & Stark, was
entirely DESTROYED by fire at an early
hour this m orning and serious loss en-
tailed upon the proprietors as well as
upon the village.
The mill building was large three
story structure and when the fire was
first discovered the flames were bursting
through the roof and the entire western
wall Of the building was completely en-
veloped in flames, The fire spread and
burned with wonderful rapidity in so
much that within three quarters of an
hour after tbs giving Of the alarm the
roof felf In carving with it the three
floors into the basement. The fire had
gained such Roadway at the time CT its
discovery. that it was impossible to en-
ter any portion OF the building, and
nothing whatever was saved. All that
could be done was for the citizens to
stand and see the fiery element get in its
work in a very disastrous manner.
The mill had been operated during the
day. About nine O'Clock last evening,
the engineer, ]. D. Lateral, visited the
engine room and also went over the flrst
floor of the grinding room. At that
time everything was in good order. there
was no fire to speak of in the engine.
There are no stoves used in the opera
ton of the mill, the building being heat
ed by means OF steam pipes running
from the boiler room The FIRE is sup
posed to have originated in the base
ment OF the building, and is supposed to
have been in progress for some time
before being discovered. This is no
doubt the correct theory u the origin Of
the fire. as is evidenced by the shortness
of the time elapsing between the disiov-
cry OF the nre and the falling in OF the
building.
There was berw zen one tn )usani and
twelve hundred bushels Of grain in the
mill as well AS about two huntred hT-
,reIs Of floor, all Of which is total l'ss.
The mill when first built Is estm1ted
to have cost between $t2, 00J aud $751;
600 aud its value at the present time
WIS not far from tn. last named figure.
There is an insurance OF SIS DO on mill
building and machinery. placed in the
agency OF Jones, M.Intvre & Co. OF
Minneapolis, and $1,000 on stock in
the ageny OF B. S. Phipps.
The present owners. Msssrs.s Stark &
Hecklin, are serious losers hv- this m ,rn-
ing's fire, but are full Of energy and
pluck and will no doubt ut once rebuild.

ANTITRUST CASE.
Pooling Right Argued Before the SUI
preme Court.

Pooling Right Argued Before the SUI
preme Court.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-The supreme
court has begun the hearing of argu-
ment in the case of the United States
against the Transmissouri Freight asso-
citation, involving the anti trust law.
The case originated in the district of
Kansas. and was instituted by the gov
eminent for the purpose of enjoining
the future execution of the pooling
agreement between IL railroads
constituting the Transmissouri as
sociatiation on the ground that
the pool was in violation of the anti
trust law of 1890. The circuit court
dismissed the bill and this decision was
sustained by the circuit court Of ap-
peals for the Eighth circuit. The gov.
eminent then appealed to the supreme
court.
