told the court that Denver was get

didn't have sense enough to know

plimentary opinion was not given by
cheap experts either as the bills they
put in show. The taxpayers now

VIII Accept Angel.

Washington, June 2.-Sultan Abdul
Hamid has changed his mind and James
B. Angel will GO to Turkey as United
States minister. The information
reached here Tuesday that the sultan
had withdrawn his objections to Presi-
dent Angel, principally through the
efforts of Minister Terrell, who from
the first has made strong efforts to
disabuse the minds of the Turkish au-
thorities of prejudice against DR..
Angel. 1t is learned that the principal
complaint of the porte against DIR.
Angel was based on an erroneous idea
of the Congregational church, of which
the porte understood DR.. Angel was
a member.

Outlook for Fall business.
New York. June 5.-Bradstreet's. in
his weekly review of trace. says:
THE only favorable features of trade
are encouragement at the outlook for fall
business and Improvement in demand and
prices of iron and steel. Crops at the south
west. particularly Texas. have improved
with seasonable rains, and the prospect ia
vors larger exports of wheat from the
Pacific coast A fairly satisfactory jobbing
trade continues at leading cities in north
western spring wheat states. Business as
a whole shows no pronounced activity, and
the tendency of funds is to accumulate.
Where the volume of business exceeds that
of a year ago. as II does in a few lines,
profits are frequently so reduced as to
render this years movement less satisfac-
tory Orders for dry goods, clothing and
shoes for nearby delivery have fallen Off
The anticipated midsummer Industrial dis
turbances, particularly in iron and steel,
promise to influence business unfavorably
during the summer months"
r. G. Dun & Co. say:
'sThe statement of failures in May by
branches of business give much encourage
ment In amount of defaulted liabilities
the month was the smallest since Septem-
Der, 1885, in manufacturing liabilities, the
smallest since November. 1895, and in trad
ing liabilities, the smallest since September,
except the last month, 1884. Failures OF
general stores have not been as small in
any month as in May. 1897: in only two
months out of 3s have there been smaller
failures in books and hats. only in grocer
les, and not one trading class in that month
has reported failures larger than in the half
/ the preceding months. though in furniture
failures are rather numerous. In clothing
manufactures the month was the small

can mistake the meaning of such returns.

rumors customary at this season have no
attention. 1t was stated a week ago that

Cyclone Does Great Damage in the
Lone Star State.
Dallas, Tex, June 4.-One of the Sc
verest wind and transforms prevailed
throughout a good portion of north
Texas that has been experienced in
many years. Some small grain is fat
with the ground along the path of the
wind. The area damaged in this city
is half mile wide by 200 yards, and
the damage is estimated at not less than
$4,000.
At Fort Worth the wind was unusual
ly severe in portion of the city. Some
20 residences in two wards were blown
from their foundations, and are other
wise damaged, besides injury to barns,
sheds and small store buildings. One
church was struck by lightning and
considerably torn up. The rain was so
heavy that street car traffic was
stopped. cellars flooded and the streets
impossible for time.
At Arlington, 1S miles east of Fort
Worth, a dozen or more houses were
blown off their blocks or unroofed, and
a number of houses on the prairie for
several miles around the town shared a
like fate. The justice of the peace, S.
G. Lasater, and L. j. Prose were in a
tenement house which was blown to
atoms, both men being badly hurt, the
former. it is feared, fatally. At Grand
Prairie, four miles east of Arlington,
six houses, including two store build
ings, were blown from their founda-
tions and badly damaged. One resi-
dence was set on fire by lightning and
considerably damaged

They Must Paw.

The supreme court declared valid the
law of 1898 authorizing the governor to
appoint a special appraiser to appraise
lands or other property in any county
when the people by petition stated it
to be their belief that property had
been undervalued by the assessors.
The effect of this decision is that the
Weyerhausers, Morton d. Hull & Co.,
and the Winona Iron company, as well
as other owners of pine lands will have
to ubmit to an increase of about 100
per cent in the taxes on their pine land
holdings in Itasca county, and that
they will have to pay the state the diff
ference between the value at which the
lands were assessed and their real
value from 1883 up to date.

Old Settlers.

The Minnesota Territorial Pioneers
was the name adopted by the old set

held at the Merchants hotel, st. Paul,
and was followed by badquet. The
purpose of the organization is to per-
petuate the memories and friendships
of old days. A constitution and bylaws
