A NEW GREEK MINISTRY
M. EALLI SUCCEEDS IT. DELYANNIS

 ment Is Subsiding at Athens-volo Has
 Been Evacuated.
 Athens. April 29.-The following is the official list of the new cabinet as cor rected this evening:
 Premier and minister of marine, M. Rall; minister of war; M. Tsamavos; minister of fin ance, M. Sopoulo; minis ter of education, M. Carapanos; minis ter of the interior, M. TeotaoAi.
 Athens, Ap%il 29,-Admiral Canaris and M. Deligeorgis, as we'll as M, So- tiropoulo, having declined portfolios, the new ministry will take on com posite character and rely for it's sup port upon a coalition of followers of M. Ralli and Tricoupsts. M. Delyannls made the following statement this af- tefnoon:
 Yesterday King George summoned me to the palace and declared that eX- ceptional circumstances compelled him to replace the cabinet and to form a new ministry from the ranks of the op- position. He begged me to second his efforts. I refused to tender my resig- nation, not because of my love Of pow CT, but in order that such step might not be misinterpreted. I urged the k,ng to use the privilege of the crown, declaring that I was ready to sign the royal decree, provided the latter cast no blame upon us. I added that there was no reason to fear that such a meas ure would be considered by Europe as a censure upon the governments poli- cy. Judgment would be formed as to that after the new cabinet had been tried'
 M Delyannis added: T cannot di- vulge the policy which I considered necessary. I can only say that the country would have been emerged from its trial without loss of territory, and would have obtained a rectification of the northern frontier by abandoning Crete, according to the demands of the powers. The latter measure would have facilitated the task, inasmuch as the principle of Ottoman integrity would not have been impaired, while the peace of Europe would have been assured because of the rectification of the frontier line adjudged in the treaty of Berlin
 London, April 29.-The Daily Tele- graphs correspondent at Athens had an interview with M. Ralli this after noon, during which he outlined his pol icy. M Ralli said:
 My policy will consist in the reor- ganization of the army, whose recuper- ative forces are practically inexhausti- ble, and the establishment of order, together with a satisfactory solution of our foreign relations. We refuse to accept mandate from the king or from the chamber. We must have an abso- lutely free hand.''

PERIOD OF HIGH WHEAT PRICES.

The London Times in commenting
upon the outlook of the future for
wheat, expresses the opinion that the
era of better times is at hand, and
that the long period of depression
caused by the constant addition of
the acreage Of wheat rendered possible
by the extension Of railways into new
countries and the enormous increase
Of the tonnage of steamships having
come to an end for the present. 1t
says that the era of accessible virgin
soil is much reduced and until rail-
ways in Argentina and other wheat
producing countries shall have been
extended. pause in the increase of
production may be anticipated,
There may be something in this, but
if the only thing needed in the wheat
supply is the extension of railways, it
may be depended upon that dollar
wheat will cause them to be rapidly
extended. However, there is not
much question that an era of better
times has..arrived. The worlds sur
plus has fallen so low that it will take
several good crops the world over to
restore it to point where it will
tend to influence low prices.

TWO DEPENDENTS SENT HOME.

Secretary Hart, of the state board
of corrections, has just returned from
Europe, where he went with two in
sane patients, who had been shipped
to this country with some immigrants,
to get rid of their care there. One of
these was found in the hospital at St.
Peter. He was strong, healthy fell
low, whom it is thought would likely
have been state charge for twenty
years or more, and would have cost
the state at least 81, 1000 in the aggre-
gate, to support. He was turned over
to his father in Norway. The other
one was left with friends at Chris
tiana. The fact that these two
charges were sent over here for. the
purpose of getting rid of further care
of them, shows how close watch Of
ficials in this country must keep up
on immigrants. Secretary Hart says
that the inspection abroad by our
consuls for the preventing Of the ship
ment Of paupers is very Ineffective be-
cause the lists of the steamship COM
pahies are so long, that there is not
time to investigate every case, but at
New York the inspection, he says, is
very thorough and the work is effect
i've. Doubtless a system Of Thorough
work in this country will cause the
steamship companies, in time, to be-
come more careful.

The suit CID. P. Hayes VS.. the A.
o. H. division of this city, which is to
be tried Sept. 8th, is an action to
recover s25 Sick benefits for five
weeks disability. The division does
not question the fact of Mr.. Hayes
being entitled to the benefits, but
claims that he donated the money to
the division Tat the time the state
convention met in this city, in order
to help meet the expenses, The boys,
in turn, "Whooped 'er up" for Mr..
Hayes, and he was elected state
treasurer. Now, they say. he brings
action to get the sick benefits. His
attorney is W. L. Comstock, while the
division is represented by G. o.
Daley. Mr.. Hayes contends that the
money should be paid over to him,
and that it will be time enough then
to decide what to do with it.

JONES' FORD BRIDGE.
1t is Found to Be Badly Out of
Repair

Report having been brought to
County Commissioner Roberts and
County Surveyor Brooks that the
Jones' ford bridge is badly out of re-
pair, they visited,it Tuesday. They
found that the report is true and
that it must have important repairs
at once. A stone pier under the west
approach was nearly undermined by
the high water in the spring and
must be replaced. The planking on
the sides is broken and full of holes,
and must be covered with new planks.
After awhile the entire flooring will
have to be taken off and renewed.
The bridge needs a thorough over
hauling, as there are numerous other
small repairs to be made:
Messrs. Roberts and Brooks will
present report of the condition Of
the bridge to the county boord TO-
morrow, and it is probable that some
action will be taken at the meeting.

TEARING TRACK UP.
Old Line of the Omaha Road Through

Forty Men go to Work This Morning

The Omaha road has until early
next December to tear up its old track

in all things it has began to

the rails and ties are coming up fast.
In four or five days the entire track
as far as the linseed oil mill will be
torn up and removed, and the con-
tract with the city fully carried out
The old rails are beiE.i taken ID "a
rious points along the line of the road,
where needed.
The removal of the old track through
the heart of the city will be matter
for congratulation. Fourth street is
naturally one of the finest in the city
for residence purposes, and property
ON that street will now become sought
after. After it has been graded and
beautifed, it will become one OF the
choice residence streets OF the city.

BREAD GOES UP.
Advance in Flour Causes the Bakers
to Take Action,

The recent rise in the price Of flour
has caused the bakers to make an ad-
vance in the price of bread. When
flour was bringing 81 a barrel or less,
the bakers sold thirty-three loaves Of
bread for dollar, but with flour at
$3.50 barrel they only give twenty
eight loaves for dollar, and each loaf
weighs an ounce less than formerly.
Single loaves continue to sell for the
same price as heretofore, five cents,
but are slightly smaller.
1t is not thought that any further
advance in bread will be made. The
increased price does not affect the
business of the bakers, unless it in
creases it, for many people will prefer
to buy their bread to paying $3.50
barrel for flour. The bakers of Man
kato have an agreement whereby the
same prices are charged and the same
weights given, and in this way any
decentralization of prices is avoided.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Henry Jones Wins His Appeal
to the District Court.

Judge Severance has granted a
motion for new trial in the matter
of the estate of John P. Jones, deceas-
ed, Henry Jones. appellant, VS.. Hugh
Jones ct al, respondents. VIM. f.
Hughes is attorney for the appellant,
and Lorin Cray for the respondents.
The case was first tried in the pro-
bate court and Henry Jones took an
appeal. The district court sustained
the finding of the probate court. An
appeal was taken on law point, the
question being whether the distribu-
tion of the estate should come under
statute in force when the will was
drawn, or under one in force when
the death occurred. The court now
holds that it should be under the
first.
The estate comprises an eighty
acre farm in Judson, with buildings
and Improvements, in all valued at
$1,000.

A DISPATCH from Columbus, Ohio,
says that the coal strike is in fair way
of settlement there. The plan is to
resume work at GA cents per ton pend
ing arbitration. 1t is hoped to reach
the agreement so that the miners may
60 back to work at the beginning of
next week. The new plan is said to
have been accepted by all the
operators except one in the Pittsburg
district, and is said to have received
the approval of President Ratchford
and other members Of the executive
committee Of the United Mine
Workers. 1t is to be hoped that the
report will prove true, and that all
differences will be satisfactorily adj
justed.

SOMETHING MAY HAPPEN.
Arrests Likely to Occur Soon at
Like Crystal.

SheriffBowCn returnedTuesdayfrom
Lake Crystal and vicinity, but County
Attorney Hughes is not expected
back for two or three days. When
seen in regard to the nature of their
business, Mr.. Bowen was very reti-
cent. There is little doubt but that
they are hot on the trail of some
violator of the law, but whether it is
the party who has been committing
burglaries in and about Lake Crystal
is not known. No arrests have been
made yet, but the evidence is being
gathered up very carefully, and it is
now believed that unless the unfore-
seen happens someone may be land
ed in the county Jail before the week
is up. The amount Of mystery sur
rounding the movements of the
county officers and the prolonged alb
serce of the county attorney indicate
that I'll eve is "a hen on" and that
something of unusual Importance is
brewing.

THE Duluth Herald in speaking of
the coal strike and it's effects, says
that there is no apparent danger of a
famine so far as the head of the lakes
is concerned. The stocks Of coal
there, it says, are up to the average,
and the probability is that the supply
will be ample-at least as respects
hard coal. 1t thinks there may be a
possibility of shortage in soft coal.
Soft coal, it says, has advanced in
price, due to the strike, but hard coal
has not advanced and may not be
higher.

each of which is devoted to special
purpose, the aim being to familarize
the pupil not only with the Italian

modern school. 1t was written for
the soprano voice, as suited to Nine

completed for the press the same
work, rewritten for the four parts.
Local musicians are much interest

A FRESH FIELD.
Frank Slade Oliver Will Proceed to
Dead Bead His Way Through
Burlington, Iowa.

Mr.. A. B. Ewing, the Mankato
grocer, received bill of goods,
purchased from Burlington, Iowa,
and the following notice was
enclosed Herewith:
Burlington Institute College Con-
servatory of Music is to be conducted
by the accomplished artist, Frank
Slade Oliver. Piano, organ, voice and
harmony are Mr.. Divers specialties.
This is the same sweet-scented dead
beat who left Mankato few months
ago, leaving several hundred dollars
of debts behind. He will no doubt
dress in his usual high style of art
if he can get trusted for his clothes !;
eat at the best hotel-if he can stand
off his landlord; furnish his rooms
elaborately-if he can deaf beat his
way with the furniture dealer; smoke
high-priced Havana's, if he can get
them chalked down, and be real all
round society swell on what he owes
down in Burlington.
Burlington people will do well to
keep an eye on Oliver. He is sure to
pinch them if given anything
like half a chance. The editor
OF the FREE PRESS kept him
warm last winter. Who Of the Bur-
lingtonites will do it this? The Pres
byterian church got taken in here by
the scoundrel. What church will he
pull in Burlington? Oliver has several
other "specialties" besides voice and
harmony.

rlR. FLETCHER PROTESTS.
Appears Before the County Board Re-
garding His Assessed Valuation.

The county board met Wednesday
and will be in session for several days.
The most important business
was a protest made by L. G. NJ.
Fletcher against the recent action of
the commissioners sitting as board
of equalization, in placing him on the
assessment rolls for $4,000 for money
other than bankers. He stated that
when he made his affidaviU that he
had no such money he had stated
what was true and all that was nee
essary. He had no money or securi-
ties that are taxable that he did not
return to the assessor.
The county board informed Mr..
Fletcher that it could do nothing at
this meeting, and that he should
come before the board at the January
meeting. He could appear before
the state board Of equalization, if he
wanted to.
Mr.. Fletcher said that he would not
60 before the state board. He said
that he would not pay taxes on the
valuation in question.
Several road petitions were consid-
cred during the day, including two
this afternoon. A remonstrance was
received against the proposition to
Vacate portion Of one road.
The November jury list will be
drawn at this meeting.
