STEWART DON'T LIKE 1T.

Senator Stewart is very bitter on
director of the mint, Preston, for the
statements he made in his interview
a few days since regarding gold and
silver, and especially his reference to
the fact that most of the silver STAN
dard nations Of the world were look
ing toward a gold standard, and that
it would not be long before Mexico
would drop silver. The senator says
that Mexico on the gold standard
would retrograde into barbarism, and
that it would be unable to pay the in
terest upon its public debt. But the
interest On Mexico's public debt is
now paid in gold that has to be pur-
chased at an ever increasing premium,
and it is hard to see wherein it would
be any harder to get it on gold basis
than it is on silver basis. The best
financial experts and statisticians
back up the position taken by Di-
rector Preston. OF course it hurts
Senator Stewart to think that there
is even the slightest possibility of
Mexico going to the gold standard for
he is interested in large silver mines
there, and free coinage offers him a
chance to dispose of more silver than
would otherwise be the case. But the
cold logic of facts seems to be with
the director of the mint.

THE ARTIC COUNTRY.

A writer in Leslie's Weekly writing
from Alaska says: GOT no other
country on earth is so little known
that is true, and so much said that is
untrue, as of our great Attic territory,
Alaska, Through the efforts of such
individuals as have been happily
characterized as 'parlor explorers, en-
|couraged by the natural or acquired
mendacity of frontiersmen and miners,
the public's mind has been crammed
full of misinformation; and the lack
of consistency in the yarns that have
been published has made it difficult
for the average reader to decide whom
and what to believe. l am therefore
no longer surprised when person re-
ceives with doubt the statements that
the most of Alaska is covered with
dense primeval forest; that the ice
runs out of the rivers in spring; that
it is even uncomfortably hot in sum-
mer-time; that a traveller there is
liable to be eaten up by mosquitoes
rather than by polar :.bears, and that
the site of old Fort Yukon, in the
Arctic zone, is at the present moment
June, 1897 a perfect tangle of white
roses"
All this, however, will make little
difference to those who 60 there with
out enough provisions to keep them
through the winter and until next
summer. But there has been vast
amount of INSTRUMENTATION as to that
country, and great many glowing
accounts now given of it, hardly &C
cord with the facts, as many will find
| out to their sorrow.

HARVEY SIMMONS LOCATED.
Sheriff Bowen Goes for a Requisition
for Him

The last grand jury is believed to
have returned an Indictment against
Harvey Simmons, on the charge of
grand larceny in the'~second degree,
in disposing of mortgaged property.
His whereabouts have been unknown
until within few days, and it is now
learned that he is in a certain town
in Wisconsin. -
The accuser of Simmons is Chas. j.
Macbeth, who claims to have held a
chattel mortgage upon some cattle
which Simmons had disposed Of.
Simmons never waited to settle the
mortgage but kept on going.
Sheriff Bowen went to ST. Paul
this morning to procure requisition
from Gov. Clough upon the governor
of Wisconsin for Simmons. When he
secures this document he will go on to
Wisconsin and get his man.

A WASHINGTON dispatch says that
the agricultural department estimates
that the total wheat crop of the
United States at 100000 1000 bushels,
or 100000 bushels more than last
year. The shortage in India, Russia,
Australia and Argentine and other
wheat producing countries it is said
will not equal one-tenth of the worlds
crop. Wheat has a general upward
tendency, and there are those who
predict that by October twill be SELL
ing at one dollar. 1t is figured that
the wheat export from the crop just
being harvested will reach 1S5, 900, 900
bushels or 100000 more than was
exported from last years crop. There
is no longer any doubt but that the
farmers will realize good price for
their wheat, but whether the most
sanguine expectations as to price will
be reached, or not, is another ques-
tiOn.

The fact that thousands of coal
miners are out on what will doubt
less prove an unsuccessful strike for
higher wages, right in the face of a
new 81 cents a ton tariff on coal, is a
"corker" for the onward gallop of
prosperiJy-Fairnaoat Sentinel
This is a fair sample of the manner
in which the Popocratic crowd
attempt to misrepresent the
new tariff law. The Sentinel editor
knows full well that the Dingley
law is in no manner responsible for
the coal strike. He further knows
that the reasons leading to the
present strike had their inception in
the Wilson law, passed by the party
he is now supporting, which reduced
the duty on soft coal to point,
where the coast trade upon such coal
was entirely destroyed, and as re-
suit prices had to be cut. The de-
pressed times which the Wilson law
helped to prolong, caused reduction
of probably one-half in the consump-
tion of coal, and from this and the
low duty can be traced the causes re-
sponsible for the present strike. There
is no doubt but that the strike will
interfere some with the revival Of
business, as it causes many industrial
concerns to close down that would
otherwise run at an increased
capacity. Why not be fair once and
represent things as they really are.

company offered to make still
greater reduction in commercial light
ing.
Mr.. Hunt said that the new COM
pany seems to have no head or tail, or
anything tangible beyond the gentle
man who presumed to represent it at
this meeting. There is no absolute
knowledge that there is new COM
pany, but there is an old company
which has been here for years. II
Gen. Pope was this morning underbid
by company from outside which had
no standing or organization, would he
favor it's getting the contract?
Gen. Pope said he might not, but
did not know that these circumstances
applied here.
Mr.. Hunt said that the difference on
the bids on city lighting is very trifi-
ing, while the difference to the private
consumers will be very greats
Gen. Pope said that the meeting
was going a good ways when it
recommended the council to contract
with the old company without waiting
to hear what the new company will do.
Mr.. Macbeth said that he had a COM
pany organized, unincorporated, with
officers elected. The matter of gas
plant would be an after consideration.
A rising vote was tksn taken on the
resolution, and the ayes had nine and
the noes one, Mr.. Macbeth being that
one. The larger number present did
not vote either way.
The meeting then adjourned.

RAISING ASSESSED VALUATIONS,
The County Board Listens to Argu-
ments Against 1t.

The county board of equalization
will OF finish it's labors before to-
morrow. A number of Mankato par
ties have been notified to appear be-
fore the board tomorrow in order to
show why their assessed valuations
should not be raised,.Zroo
Fred Kron appeared before the board
today and presented reasons why the
valuation of his stock should not be
raised from Sc, 500 to $4,000. He held
that in proportion to the stock of the
other merchants he isalready assessed
high enough. The board took the
matter under advisement,
Henry Zimmerman, Jr., was also
before the board and made an argu-
ment against raising his personal
property valuation. v He is assessed
S400 on household sfurniture. The
City Hotel has over fifty rooms. The
Clifton House, with twenty rooms,
is assessed $500 on household furni-
ture. Some of the members of the
board thought that this was unjust
and that the valuation of the City
Hotel furniture should be raised.
Then, again, Mr.. Zimmerman re-
turned four horses to the assessor at
500 in all, and his hack, wagons and
sleighs at $780, The board thought
that this was not enough. Mr..
Zimmerman explained that he had
seven horses, including colts, and that
he did not think them worth more
than enough to warrant the valuation
which he had placed upon them.
This case was also taken under advise
ment.

EAGLE LAKE.

Pressnell & Bennett have put a
new roof on the porch in front OF
their store.
Harvesting is completed and the
farmers have begun to stack theil
grain, which seems to be of good
quality and fair yield.
Our school board has recently
ordered new seats for the lower de.
partment of our school house, and
has also papered and painted it in
side. This will make very pleasant
rooms.
Grace Pressnell, j. G. Pressnell and
M. B. Van Kirk have returned from
Amboy, where they were attending
summer school. They report a
pleasant and profitable school.
Eagle Lake seems to be quite proud
to be able to have newspaper, and
we hope that the patronage of the
village and surrounding community
will give it ample support.

THE Duluth NeacS- Tribune thinks
that if the government erects a plant
for the manufacture of armor plate
that Duluth would be good place for
it. So it would. Duluth is handy to
unlimited fields of the material from
which armor plate is made, and doubt
less it could be manufactured there
as cheaply as at any other point. Let
the move be made for Minnesota to
get the armor plant.

when viewed from the balcony.
| Then 1t was suggested that a fountain
be placed In the center of the building on
| the main floor. which would add much to
the beauty and general appearance OF the
display. Mr.. Mistrot said that a very
| pretty fountain could be put in there and a
small water pipe connected with IT at a
nominal cost and Mr.. Childress said he
/ would take the matter up and have 1t done.
| This would lend IA very picturesque effect
+, to the scene.
| On the balcony will be located the tex

partment.
