he: "thcrc is one thing certain; the plans mapped out in this circular have

In 1862, Hazard, an agent of European capitalists sent the following
"conhdcntia' circular to American bankers:
Slavery is likely to be abolished b, the war power, and the chattlc
slavery destroyed. This and my European friends are in favor of, for
slavery is but the owning of labor and carries with IL the care of the laborer:
while the European plan, led on by England, is caMto control of labor, by
controlling wages. This can be done by controlling the money. The great
debt that capita lists will see to it is made out of the wal, must be used as a
measure to control the volume Of money, We are now waiting to get the
secretary Of the treasury to make this recommendation to congress. 1t will

DROWNED IN JOHANNA,
Harry M. Downing Is Lost In q Brief
SQuaH.


SquaH.
The body of Harry NJ Downing, of
1901 Conway street, who was drowned
at Lake Johanna Wednesday evening,
was found yesterday at 2 o'clock
Downing, a cutter in the employ of
Foot, Schulze & Co., accompanied by
John Funk and Frank Prospal, residing
on Duke street, went to the lake Sun
day intending to camp out for a week
Wednesday afternoon Funk and Pros
pal went fishing, returning to the camp
about'6 o'elock.> On their return Down
ing took the boat and started out for
a fishing excursion. The weather was
threatening, but despite the advice Of
his companions, Downing pulled away
from the shore. An hour later there
was a violent wind and rain storm
and when, later in the evening, search
was made for Downing, no trace of
him or the boat could be found. Thurs
day number Of Downings friends
made such search of the lake as the
high wind would permit, and found his
hat floating on the water near the
boat, which he had rowed away in.
The anchor Of the boat was dragging,
and these indications pointed toward
the conclusion reached by his COM
panions, that Downing had been
drowned during the storm. Yester-
day. the wind having abated, a syste-
matte search Of the lake was COM
menced, but hardly had the searching
party started out when the body Of
Downing was found lying in about five
fee+ of water near where the empty
boat had drifted. Coroner Nelson was
notified, and, after making an investi-
cation, decided an inquest unnecessary.
The remains were brought to the city
last. evening.

status and his residence.
Until the fall of 1895 had resided in
st. Paul continuously for period Of
more than twenty-five years. But at
this time I was seized with an attack
of the asthma which became so serious
that my doctor advised me to go to a
warmer climate for the winter and
recommended Southern California. So
I went to Los Angeles to spend the
winter, and, as I was very sick, my
family accompanied me to take care
of me. While 1 was away I did not

citizen when I was summoned to serve
on the grand jury" added Mr. Lind
quist, "the fact Is I took out my second
papers last March, as was obliged to
serve on a petit jury at that time"
Some people might think that Mr..
Lindquist's services as a juror are
greatly in demand to necessitate his
serving on a petit jury in March and
a grand jury in May, but a glance at
the records shows that he was among
the grand jurors drawn out Of the box

His License.
Acting under orders from the mayor,
Lieut.. Boerner yesterday afternoon no
titled A. Weinholzer, proprietor or the
Palm Garden at Eighth and Wabasna
streets that the resort would have 10
be closed.
This action was taken owing to the
assembly, at it's meeting Thursday
night. refusing to approve the appI-
cation for license for the piace
Welnholzer was at the mayors once
yesterday afternoon with view TO Sc
curing a permit to keep open until
after the next meeting of the as
sembly Mr.. Weinholzer explained that
he had been informed that at the next
meeting Of the assembly a motion
would be made to reconsider the vote
by which the license was turned down
and that Assemblyman Reardon, who
was absent from the meeting Thursday
night, would not only move to recon
sider but vote for the granting of the
license. This Mr. Weinholzer claimed
would, with the four votes cast In
favor of the license by Messrs. DAILY,
Kirke, Mabon and Albrecht, give him
the right to operate the saloon as the
aldermen had already passed 1T.
i Mayor Doran admitted that the thing
looked good on paper, but said he had
no right to give the desired permission
as, cartier III the Gay, UtieSdt1oiio IfOiii
the Citizenship league had, called and
insisted that as the license had been
refused the place be closed. The mayor
after Weinholzer left, issued the clos
ing order and the result was that the
resort at 6 o'clock closed its, doors
Assemblymah sReardon asked as to
the truth of thes statements made by
Weinholzer, said that he was sorry
that he was not present at the meeting
Thursday night. If he had been he GER
tainly would have voted for. the grant
ing Of the license. He believed in fair
play and if one place of character
similar to Weinholzer's was allowed to
run others should be allowed the same
privilege. Foro'this reason, had he been
present, ne would have voted for the
application. He was not sure whether,
under the rules. Of, the assembly, he
would be allowed to move for recon-
sideration Of the vote owing to his not
being present and voting on the prop
| ositfon, but he would ask at the next
meeting that the matter be again taken
up.
Weinholzer said last evening that he
could not afford to wait two weeks and
in the meantime keep his place closed,
but unless he can devise some means
to beat the Citizenship league he will
be forced to keep closed until the
