MERCHANTS AND MINERS.
To the Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register
sir:-Merchants' Day is now, we believe,
established. and should be encouraged
similarly. at least. 1t certainly is dem
onstrated fact that great good can be &C
complished by these business people com
ing together and moi only exchanging
greetings but getting acquainted, talk
ing business, and by that means improv-
ing trade conditions generally. All this
we heartily approve of and think it should
not only be supported by the merchants
of our city, but the working people as
well. as they are more or less interested
in the welfare of the merchants and all
business people. In fact, what is the in
terest on one is the concern of all.
There may be some difference of opin-
ion regarding this. but to sum It all up,
one is dependent upon the other so that
it is imperative Of each to encourage and
- sist the other in any and all undertake
inss calculated to improve times and con-
dtions.
BY the way, we have a class of citizens
the coal miners OF the countrywide are
a part of the wealth producers, and VINO
spend their earnings with these same
merchants and business people that are
endeavoring TO secure a little more Of the
circulating medium 10 spend with them.
Would it not be proper TO consider their
demands. give them moral and financial
support? It would appear by the average
citizen TO be the duty of all mot directly
interested in coal mine stock that profit
by the low wages paid their employees 10
assist them in this strike in every way
possible. 1t certainly should, for nothing
more than self-interest and a few dollars
from each Of our business people would
assist very materially in securing TO them
that which is proper and just, Of which
no one can say truthfully TO the contrary;
so we trust the miners cause will receive
attention from all business people. A cas-
ual glance at the situation, and the condi-
ton of the miners generally. together with
the methods and means employed by the
coal operators to defeat their fellow NOR
tails In this their effort 10 equity and part
Of Justice only. should convince any one
what would be proper to do in the prem
ises. Certainly il would melt the heart OF
a stone as il were. TO see the way
large majorities Of the miners and their
families have had 70 live. Their distressed
picture cannot be drawn and co it justice

childt, ct al.

childt, ct al.
In the case of John A. Arnold VS..
Fred HoSchildt ct al, the supreme
court rendered decision yesterday
In favor of the appellant Arnold.
This was case from Amboy in which
it was alleged that the defendant
Hoschildt had conveyed real estate
consisting of two lots lin the village
of Amboy, through his wife to L. o.
Benrud, who was also made a defen d.
ant in the case, in fraud of his cred
itors. Hoschildt had been in bust
ness there and failed, and these lots
were subject to levy and sale on exc
cution. 1t was claimed that he con-
veyed these lots through his wife, so
as to prevent the plaintiff levying on
the same for debt of some 5000 for
which he had judgment, and that the
defendant Benrud was duly informed
of the matter before the deal was
contaminated. The lower court found
for the defendants. but the decision
was reversed by the supreme court.
Thos. Hughes was attorney for Mr..
Arnold, and w. r. Geddes for the de-
fendant Benrud, who had purchased
the lots. The case was argued before
the supreme court last Monday.

Did Not rlentiOn the Diemel Case

Hughes had called on Governor Clough
while in st. Paul Monday and talked
over the matter of securing requisition
for Anton Diemel who is in Missouri,
and requisition for whom was not
honored by the Missouri governor last
winter. The fact is that Mr., Hughes
did nothing of the sort, and did not
even see Gov. Clough or mention Die

Hughes says that the entire story is a
fabrication He was in st. Paul to ap-
pear before the Supreme Court in case

that was the only business upon which
he went to st. Paul. He called on the
attorney general, but did not see the

SUPERB LIVING STATUARY.
The Four LeandOrs With the Ring.
ling Show Are Artists.

Novelties in circus acts are as much
in demand as novel theatrical attrac-
tions and the Messrs. Ringing have
endeavored this year to introduce
more OF them than any rival show
can possibly do. They have more
new and exclusive features than ever
before and one Of the best, most artis-
tic and most costly is a statuesque
acrobatic speciality presented by the
four Leandors.
Iu the entire circus world it would
be difficult to find four other perfor-
mers whose work is so finished and so
nearly perfect. They are men of mag
niticent physique, and in their pos
ings, which represent the most noted
groupes of statuary in the world,
these Apollo-like figures are display
ed to marvellous advantage. No such
living statues have been presented by
rival performers as the score or more
of historically perfect pictures and
pOsings these artists execute. Clad
in white from head to foot they look
like pYrian marble, executed by a
master hand.
Not only are the living statues
more than pleasing to the patrons of
the big show, but their acrobatic
work which follows, is of the very
best order of merit. They are artists
par excellence.
The Ringing company comprises
almost 300 circus performers in var
ious lines, all the very best. The big
show will exhibit in Mankato Satur-
day, July 3.
