An item sent out by one Of the di-
vinity students who put in their spare
time writing specials from the Zenith
CITY to confiding metropolitan journals
states that it is feared a sergeant OF
the Duluth police department has been
eaten by moose. The corpus deficit
in the case is established by two brass
buttons found in the stomach of an
animal which-the animal, of course
was about to be converted into steaks
and chops If the story is true, and
the evidence of the two brass buttons
seems to be conclusive, it is time for
the state to withdraw it's protection
from this ferocious animal and to
cease pampering it's appetite. 1t is all
well enough to urge that moose are
scarce and that the state cannot get
along without the few that are left,
but policemen are scarce, too, and the
public cannot afford to feed every fas-
tidious moose in the northern counties
on brass-buttoned guardians of the
law. If moose must have policemen,
they should eat them plain and not in
sist on brass buttons being served with
each order. Of course, policemen with
out brass buttons are like porterhouse
steak without mushrooms, but the
moose must learn to economic in these
hard times.
~ 1,o ics T0T,n
tected most of the year. Policemen can
eat moose only a few days out of the
265. This eating ought to be mutual.
The open season for policemen ought
not to be more than thirty days at the
outside, say from the 1st of November
to the LIST of December. This would
not deprive the moose Of the old
fashioned Thanksgiving dinner of po-
liceman a la Duluth, garnished with
brass buttons and gold lace.
All of this is really necessary. If the
pounce down upon the unsuspecting
officers of the law at any and all times,
other animals will be making objec
tons and sending petitions to the game
warden. If the moose is to have po-
licemen for Sunday dinner, the deer
will insist on a captain of the fire de-
partment, and the rabbit will feel hurt
If his table is not graced with a nicely
Drowned street cleaner, crisp and ap-
petizing. This is out of the question,
even if it were all. but then wolves
would probably express a preference
for members of the legislature, and
nothing would satisfy black bears but
major generals of the national guard,
and there are not enough major gen
erals to go around.

FOR THE BENEFIT
OF CREDITORS BY MANKATO
CAPITALIST.
TOO MUCH DULUTH DIRT.
SUITS ON AN INDIRECT
LIABILITY.
DIRECT DEBTS OF HALF-MILLIoN.
Twin City and Duluth Banks Will
Not Suffer by the Temporary
Insolvency.

MANKATO, Mimi, Nov. 9.-John A.
Willard made a voluntary assignment
to George H. Clarke late yesterday
afternoon for the benefit of his cred
itors Although the papers were filed
yesterday, the fact of the assignment
was not given to the public until to-
day, in order that duplicate copies for
filing might be sent to counties in
which Willard owns real estate.
Mr.. Willard estimates his direct or
personal liabilities at about $4S0,000,
practically all more or less secured
with what, at the time the loans were
made, was believed to be good security.
He places his indirect liabilities, that
is paper Endorsed by him for concerns
in which he Is interested, as consider
ably larger than his direct liabilities.
How far these will affect him cannot
now be known. In regard to his as
sets, Mr.. Willard will give no figures,
but says that they consist largely of
real estate, especially in Duluth, and
that it is difficult to estimate their
value at present sale. He states that
his entire assets, before the deprecia-
ton following 1892 set in, were at least
three or four times his direct liabili-
ties, and that their present value is
more than these liabilities. For sever
al months he has been endeavoring to
get his creditors to extend their claims
until 1900, and most of the direct and
very large portion of the indirect cred
itors have consented.
MI -e.srr
ment was five suits brought against
Willard and nine other directors of the
Motor Line Improvement company, of
Duluth, on paper given for the benefit
of that company, this paper aggregat-
ing 100000, and being part of his in
direct liabilities. Most of the creditors
of this company were willing to wait,
but a few brought suit, and nothing
could be done with them. Willard had
previously assured all his creditors that
he would not allow suing creditors to
get advantage of others by judgment,
and as these suits could be no longer
deferred and judgment would have
been taken this week, good faith to all
creditors compelled him to make an as
signment at once. Willard is interest
ed in many land, building and other
corporations, the stock of which is an
absolute loss to an extent approximate
ing 100000 This is aside from the de-
probation of his other stocks and real
estate, due to the financial depression
following 1892.
The direct creditors, including the
heaviest, are largely outside of the
state Willard states that he owes very
little to any bank in Mankato, and
what he does owe is fully secured, also
that he does not owe Twin City or
Duluth banks to any large extent. He
has been one of Mankato's leading cap
.italists, and is interested in several
concerns elsewhere. His financial
troubles are deeply deplored by all, yet
his failure does not take the commun-
ity by surprise. Last week the Will
lard Live Stock company, of Montana,
in which he is interested, was forced
to make an assignment.

Roy SKIPPER.
Sixteen-Year-OId Lad Pilots II Ship
TO Safety.

With death walking the deck by his side,
short-handed, officers dead or disabled with
fever, through seven weeks of disaster, dan
ger and fear, d boy Of sixteen years of age
and character in the South seas recently.
His name was William Shotton, and he is
the son Of an English sailor, says the New
York Herald.
The Trafalgar, his ship, a four-masted
bark of LOO tons, sailed from Batavia on
Oct. 20, 1896, with cargo of petroleum for
Melbourne, Australia. Fever broke out
among the crew even before the ship left
port, and Capt. Edgar was invalided. The
command devolved upon the next in author
ity Mr. Roberts But scarcely had the ship
weighed anchor when he, too, stricken,
together with several other able-bodied mem
be- Of the crew. The ship carpenter next
succumbed to the fever, and the same
day Officer Roberts leaped overheard in de-
lirium. The entire charge OF the ship, there
upon, devolved upon Shotton. Luckily for all
concerned he was born of a race Of sailors,
and had received some instruction in navi-
cation.
For a time the winds were moderate, but
the fever still pursued its deadly course,
and on Dec. the cook died, the sixth vic
tim Of the disease Port Fairy, Australia,
was the first place sighted on the mainland,
but this was by no means the end Of the
boy captains troubles. few days later
fearful storm broke out, and ShottOn was of
the opinion that nothing could be done but
run before it, since TO attempt to Withstand
1t would almost certainly mean destruction
in the weakened state of the crew. All Of
the crew who were half fit for duty were
ordered on deck and the necessary steps were
taken to put the ship in order to carry out
the decision. Day and night the young cap
tain was on the bridge, giving his orders
amid the awful tempest with a GOODNESS and
calmness which would have moved many
gray-headed skipper to envy. Finally the
wind moderated and the vessel was able to
resume it's journey to the Victoria coast.

roll on, and, meantime, 1t is a fact our
count.
Following our example of erecting
tariff barriers merely to be used as
trading stock in getting reductions
from other countries in their taxation
of our products, horse-j ockeying sort
of policy, Canada has also been pre-
pairing a lot of trading stock. She has
provided g. reduction of % per cent in
her tariff to be snapped for equal re-
auctions in charges against her ex-
ports. She has laid a 10 per cent tax
on all the gold dug out in her terri
tories, very largely by Americans. She
holds in reserve an export duty on her
pine logs and on the spruce on which
the paper mills of the Eastern states
already largely depend and upon which
they will have wholly to rely in very
few years. Then she has that Paris
award that secures to her sealers the
right to take seal anywhere outside the
three-mile limit to which our jurisdic-
ton is limited.
This makes up q list Of very valua-
BILE trading stock with which the prime
minister can chatter with our admins
tration for less duties on coal and lum-
Der and fish and various other prod
ucts and for a modification of the vex-
atious immigration laws that now OBJ
struct the Canadians who wish to find
work In the States. The best item in
the budget, however, is the right Of
pelagic sealing. 1t does not amount to
much in value to Canada, but the dip
Iomatic history of our government dur
ing the last fifteen years shows how
valuable it is to interests here that are
very influential with the powers at
Washington. There is a suit now
pending, brought by the government
against the North American CONNER
cial company to recover the rentals and
royalties due under the contract that
awarded that company the monopoly
of seal catching on the Pribyloff
islands and in Boring sea, to which the
company responds in a counter claim
for damages for a large amount be-
cause of the failure of the government
to secure the monopoly against in
fringement by Canadians. Between
the liability to respond in damages on
the one hand and the pressure from
the parties interested in the company
for escape from the humiliating posi-
ton in which we have been left at the
end of our efforts to monopolize open
sea sealing, Mr.. Laurier will find his
power to prevent the last a very val
liable bit of trading stock of which
he may be expected to make the best
possible use.

figure of a full blown rose. The fact is
well authenticated by many people who have
visited the cemetery on purpose to see the
wonderful sight
