FRIDAY, APRIL 90, 1897.

The Senate took up the arbitration
treaty in executive session Monday and
agreed to carry it to final vote at clock
on Wednesday, May 3. One of the de.
spatches adds that "the friends of the orig
inal treaty, as submitted to the Senate from
President Cleveland and Secretary Olney,
have come to care very little for the
empty shell which has been left by the
adoption of amendments in the Senate"

There is jewel which no Indian mine can buy;
No chemic art can counterfeit.
IL makes men rich In greatest poverty;
Makes water wine, turns wooden cups TO gold;
The homely whistle to sweet music's strain.
Seldom it comes, TO few from heaven sent,
That much in litte-all in naught-

A. R. MERRl Ut ASSIGNS.

Failure CT Mesaba Range Developer
Causes Much Surprise at Duluth.
DULUTH, Oct. Is -Andrus r. Merritt
has made a voluntary assignment for
the benefit Of his creditors to Charles
A. Christopherson. The action has
occasioned considerable surprise. MI.
Merritt and his brothers were among
the earliest developers of the Mesaba
iron range and were once rated worth
millions. No statement # assets and
liabilities has been filed.
Mr.. Merritt and his attorneys decline
to discuss the assignment and simply
say that a statement will be filed

immediate cause of the assignment
was the piling up of judgments
in the district court against A. R. Mer-

the suit against j. D. Rockefeller,
which was fought for years and which
was finally ended by Rockefeller set.

A Burglar Foiled.

A would be burglar, presumably from
Deadwood, where they are reported as
recently having become disturbing
element, made dual effort to gain en-
trance to the residence of NJ. A. Willis
at late hour on Tuesday night. The
first attempt was made near the hour Of
midnight, when Mr.. Willis was awaken
ed by slight noise at n rear door, and
upon getting up and going TO u window,
he plainly discerned the form ofa man
at the door trying to e feet an entrance by
means of key. Mr.. w ventured an in
quiry as TO the nature of the intruders
business ut his door at that unseemy
huor OF the night, and receiving no re.
sponse supplemented the inquiry by
brief, but poin e warning of the danger,
and probablefa al consequence ofihe fur
ther continuation of his visit, when the
intruder quickly vanished from sight.
supposing this to be the end of the mat
ter, Mr.. w again retired, and to his
surprise, before he had closed his eyes
in slumber, the william in the midnight
drama was again at the door seeking to
accomplish his previously thwarted pur.
pose. This second attempt on the part
of the maraudcr intensified the ire Of
Mr.. w, and arming himself with load
ed rifle, he proceeded to window, and
drawing the curtain asiIe he plainly
saw the burglar who was making stren-
uous efforts to effect an entrance. lie
then presented his gun, and the bore in
the barrel being in such position as TO
make it an easy matter for the burglar
to determine the critical situation he
was placed in, he did not wait for any
further explanation, but presumably
having urgent business elsewhere, i'm
mediately decamped, was soon lost to
view in the darkness of the night and
not afterward seen. In view of the
reported presence of a large number Of
crooks in other towns of the Hills at
this time, it might be well for our folks
to be on their guard and provide them
selves with gun, which is the most
effective means Of protection against
these vile and lawless 'haracters.

the personal property assessed to the
person, firm or corporation making such
tender of money in payment therefor,
which tender shall not be required to
include the penalty or interest charged
theron for any year prior to 1896.
This pction with regard to the collec-
tion Of personal taxes bears on its face a
partial relief at least for the adjustment
of affairs in this line. The action was
made imperative in many cases, as un-
less compromise was effected the
county would lose large amount that
could be gotten in this way but that
would otherwise be lost. the law pass
sed at the last session of the state legisla-
ture governs the collection OF personal
taxes in very effective manner. There
is every reason at this time to believe
that the action taken by the commits
sioners in this matter was for the best
interests of the county.
