STRIKE IN THE ABE LINCOLN.
Body of Fine Copper Ore Found
NinetF Feet Down.

Body of Fine Copper Ore Found
Ninety Feet Down.
Several st. Paul people who are In
terested in the Abe Lincoln mine at
Rossland will be glad to know that a
big strike was made Friday night in
the main shaft of the mine, which Is
down about ninety feet. The mass of
conglomerate, which for the past ten
feet had been met in the shaft, gave
way to a fine body Of copper ore be
tween two and one-half and three feet
wide The strike is peculiar one. For
the most part it is a carbonate of cop
per, contained in porphyry, although 1T
Is literally streaked with red oxide OF
copper. It is expected to give excep-
tionally high copper values, and may
also give good returns in gold. For sew,
eral days past it had been suspected
that fine body of ore lay near at
hand, and the find yesterday seems
amply to justify this faith. In the
opinion of men who have seen the
strike, 1t is one of the most important
made recently, says the Rossland
Miner.

TIETz ALONE IN THE WAY
OF the Discharge of the VoIkszeitunp
Receivers.

Receivers.
Some progress was made yesterday
toward Strengthening out the Volks-
zeitung tangle, though the receivers of
the company are not yet discharged
The attorneys and many of the inter-
ested parties appeared before Judge
Lewis at 2 p m. T. r. Palmer repre-
sented the receivers of the Allemannia
bank, one of the bondholders, and
Stiles Burr appeared in behalf of the
Standard Paper company, of Milwau-
kee.
The progress In the case consisted
in the consent of Receivers Schaller
and Brown to be discharged upon GER
tain conditions agreed upon at a private
conference held shortly after court
opened, between the receivers and the
attorneys for the bondholders and cred
itors.
But in behalf of Edward Tietz, whose
libel suit against the receivers Of the
company as such Is the only obstacle
in the way, Mr.. Taylor, his attorney,
renewed his objection to the discharge
of the receivers. Mr. Taylor contended
that in case his client should secure a
judgment against the receivers as the
result Of his libel suit, and in the mean
time the receivers were discharged and
compelled by the court to restore the
Volkszeitung newspaper plant and
property to the company, Col. Tietz
would be poWerless to realize anything
out of his judgment. If he proceeded
against the sureties on the bond of the
receivers he would be met with the
answer that the court had compelled
the receivers to surrender the property
to the company and that therefore they
could not be held.
In answer to this contention, T. r.
Palmer and the other attorneys ar
gued that Col. TietZ's libel suit against
the receivers as such cut no figure Mr..
Palmer insisted that all the authorities
held that an action for malicious libel
could not be brought against the re-
ceivers as such. He defied Attorney
Taylor to produce a single authority
to substantiate his position. Mr.. Pal
mer and the other attorneys intimated
that the libel suit was brought in bad
faith.
Mr.. Taylor in reply said that counsel
we're trying to have the libel suit dis
posed by collaterally interposing a de-
murrer to the complaint. He, Mr.. Tay-
lor, had not come before the court at
this time with authorities prepared to
argue a demurrer.
After some further argument Of the
novel point raised by Mr.. Palmer that
the receivers as such could not be sued
for libel, Judge Lewis announced that
he would take the matter under advise
ment until 3 p. m. today.

Practical Demonstrations.

The elementary section held a very
lengthy meeting in the auditorium of
the Central Presbyterian church. State
School Inspector Rankin presided over
the meeting. The programme was fur
rished by the teachers in the ST. Paul
public schools. A practical example of
the instruction impaired in reading in
the lower grades was given by Mrs
H. B. Schenck, who had a class Of a
dozen or more little boys and girls on
the platform whose reading quite took
the audience. The children on the
platform had only been in school few
months, being between six and seven
years old. Supt. Virgil G. Curtis read
paper written by Miss Sarah c. Brooks
on Material for Reading in Classes -
Miss j. E. Farr also had her class on
the platform, and they had little parts
to do and did them well. This was
third grade class.
The programme closed with a paper
by Miss B. M. Phalen, who took for her
subject Literature, History, Geogra-
ply, Information, ETC.

Heroic Greece.
Minneapolis Tribune:

Minneapolis Tribune:
Greece in her seven years war for
independence rs years ago, and in her
preSent.defence of the great powers
of Europe, is credited with furnish
ing the only examples of genuine
herOism that have been known
in Europe since the Napoleon
ic era. From George to the humblest
of his subjects, true patriotism is the
rule, a love Of country and Of Justice
that has in it nothing of greed or
cunning. The spirit of the ancient
Hellenic leaders is alive in Greece to-
day, and Crete which has never
accepted the sovereignty of Turkey,
is as much now part Of Greece as
during those 5000 years when she was
joined in a union supposed to be in
diSsoluble with the mother land. Her
ShakiOtes intrenched in the fOrtresses
Of their native mountains, have never
yet been beaten, and will never yield
to the rule of the hated and abomin-
able Turk. The history of Turkish
attempts at supremacy in this beau
tiful island has been one constant
series of Cretan rebellions.

THEY CUT DEEP.
Contracts Come Down to
Bed Rock Figures.
Streets Will Be Sprinkled For Half
What il Cost in 'O5.

Mankato streets will be sprinkled
this year for little more than one-half
the cost two years ago. This is re-
suit of competition in bidders. Up to
last year Mr.. Page had the field to
himself, and in 1895 he received 30
cents per hundred feet per week for
sprinkling Front street, and 26! cents
for sprinkling the other streets. Last
year e. V. Walters and Joseph Effer
came into the field and secured the
contract at q and 20 cents. This at
ternoon the board of public works
opened bids for sprinkling, as follows:
Walters & Effier Front street, II
cents per hundred feet per week:
the remainder of the sprinkling dis
trict, 16 cents per hundred feet, per
week.
VIM, Page, Is cents in each dis
trict, and so cents for overhaul. There
was no overhaul last year and is not
likely to be any. The contract was
awarded to Mr.. Page.
District No. !, or Front street, has
$500 feet to be sprinkled, and dis
trict No. 2, or the remainder of the
city, has 80, 400 feet. The cost of the
sprinkling last year was S2,OO6.4S.
With the same territory, the work
will be done under the new contract
at saying of $500 to 5000 in expense,
which will be welcome to the property
owners who are assessed.
Mr.. Walters states that he will
store his tanks and be ready to bid
next spring.
