4 Statesman Who Found Use For the
 Earnings of His Pen.

4 Statesman N no round A Use For ths
 Earnings of His Pen.
 IT recall pleasant incident in the life of the late Representative Harter of Ohio, said an Ohio man the other day. .'I was at his apartments one evening at the hotel where he lived during his first term ill congress and was i'll the re- ception room with several friends while lie was working in his office at the far end of the suit of rooms Presently he came out among Us laughing and hold ing in his hand check.
 Oh, he said to us, I am literary, as well as you are, and here's check for $50 have just get from maga- zine for an article that wasn' expect ing to get anything for.
 T told him 1 was not that literary, for l cou1dn' { sell ono article for $50, aud we laughed and chatted awhile about it, MT HaTter insisting that he wasn't writer for money, but for the sake of presenting his views to the world.
 t I don know what to do with the check, he said and turned to his wife. Do you neel it?' he asked her.
 She told him she did not, though most women would have had use for it quick enough, and he stood irresolute for a moment with the check ill his hand, then he smiled radiantly.
 ss'I know somebody who does want it, he said. noddiDg at his wife as if she never would see it again. I received a letter from the pastor of little Lu- theran ohureh-Mr Fl. was a jealous Lutheran-away cut ill Missouri, who is having 2 very hard time to get along and keep body and soul together, ask ing me if l couldn' do something I can send him this check. And he danced away with it as joyously as a schoolboy with playtbing, and in minute or two the check, duly indorsed and ac- companied by 2 letter, was waiting for the postman 10 start it on its mission of charity, and I have often wondered what the business manager of that mag azine thought when he found that check to the order of M. D. Harter coming back to New York from little country bank ill Missouri. Washington Star

is CERTAIN.
Million Dollars Is Represented by
the 900 Signatures to the
Plan.

The stockholders of the Bank Of Min
nesota held a meeting yesterday after
noon at the office of the Bank OF Min
EesOta. Reports were presented by Mr..
Horton. as chairman of the organiza-
ton committee, and a statement of the
present condition of the bank was Civ
en- by Receiver w. H. Lghtner. Mr..
Lightner reported collections to the
amount Of $500, 900. The claims held by
the Chase National bank have been
paid in full and the claim of the state
has also been entirely wiped out.
Mr.. Horton reported signatures to
the reorganization plan to the number
Of 900 representing deposits of 81 ,O00-
600. He said that in the canvass of the
committee among the depositors not
one had been found who was unfavOr-
able to the future plans for the bank
as prepared by the reorganization COM
mittee. There was a slight tendency
on the part of some to delay matters
until the assets of the bank are more
thoroughly investigated.
At the conclusion Of the reading OF
the reports a general discussion was
held as to the prospects and advisa-
bility of reorganizing. 1t was thought
that, while matters were moving slow
ly, yet the conditions for the reopening
Of the bank in the near future were
very favorable. The general impress
sion was that this was the only plan
to pursue, as the bank would surely
not pay more than 80 per cent in divi-
dends in the hands of the receivers.
while there was every prospect that it
would pay in full if the reorganiza-
| ton was effected. 1t was shown that
! the condition Of the bank was much
better than was at first supposed, ow-
! ing to the fact that several claims
that had been considered worthless
have already been, or will be, paid in
full or nearly so. The meeting ad-
! journed with a much better feeling
| prevailing among the stockholders and
| all others who were present and in
| terested in he,welfare of the bank.

IN A NICE QUIET MANNER
GEORGE f. HARMON AND MRS. MIN
ME j. COLLINS, OF CHINOOK.
WERE WED.
Groom Is Owner Of n Large Sheep
Ranch-Bride Also Engaged in
the Business.

A nice little romance blOSsomed out
in the court house yesterday, when a
carriage rolled up to the Wabasha
street entrance, and tall. broad
shouldered, sun-burned man and lit
tie lady of middle age alighted and
went to the Office of Court Commits
Sioner Gallick.
The man produced a document from
his pocket and offered it to the COM
missioner with the remark that it was
marriage license, and that he and
the lady would be married, if the COM
missioner would be so kind as to con-
duct the ceremony. Commissioner
Gallick read the document which per-
mitted George f. Harmon, a Montana
sheep grower, to wed Mrs. Minnie J.
Collins, who has been in the same bust
ness on an extensive scale in the same
state. Wondering why the couple came
so far to be married, the commissioner
quietly got out his books, Bibles, etc,
and when about to repeat the cere-
mony, the prospective bride stepped up
to him and said in whisper:
please cut it short, sir" r-
Commissioner Gallick agreed to the
request and tied the knot as quickly
but as stoutly as he could The man
promised to love and honor the wO-
man, and she promised to love, honor
and obey him, and that was all there
was to it. Immediately afterward the
newly married couple drove back to
the Merchants hotel, where they reg
istered. Mr.. Harmon had been at the
hotel for twofdays, and Mrs. Harmon
or Mrs. Collins as she was then, ar
rived but yesterday.
Mrs Collins left Montana some time
ago to visit at New Bedford, Mass. II
was agreed that on her return Mr.
Harmon was to meet her in St Paul

THEIR DEATHS ARE VIOLENT.
Royce Family Pursued by a Strange
Fatality.

Mrs. Barbara Royce a widow, living with
the surviving members of her family at 444
South Robert street, died suddenly yesterday
morning OF heart disease. The deceased was
forty-one years of age. and though she had
been under the of a physician for some
months for heart trouble her death was I'M
expected, as she was working about the house
apparently as well as usual, when the attack
seized her. The previous day Mrs Royce
had been ailing, and forced to take to her
bed, but arose yesterday morning to attend
her household duties. She became very weak
complaining of a pain in her side, and again
went to bed, after dispatching her son for Dr.
Xanten, who has been treating her. She grew
rapidly worse, however and before the arrival
OF the physician, ceased to breathe. Coroner
Nelson was notified of the woman's death and
viewed the body. though deciding the case
without his jurisdiction, as she had died from
natural causes.
Mrs. Rogge is the third member Of the fam
lily to meet violent or sudden death within the
last two years. Her husband, Frank Rogge,
while in the employ. of the Great Western
railroad, in West st. Paul! met with an acct
dent which subsequently cost him his life.
and Aug. 2 last, Henry ROgge, a seventeen
year-old son, was seized with cramps while
swimming in the Mississippi river and was
drowned. The lad was a faVorte with his
mother, and the shock nearly caused her
death at that time.
While on the way for a doctor, shortly after
his mother became unconscious, Frank Rogge,
a fifteen yeaI'-old son. was attacked in the
street by a dog owned by Oscar Kuntz a
neighb0r. living at Hall avenue and Eliza
beth street and badly bitten about the right
hip. The dog sprang upon the lad, knocking
him down and rolling him about the sidewalk.
The only marks of the teeth, however. were
on the hip, and this wound was afterwards
cauterized by Or. Xanten who stated that
the boy was not seriously hurt The dog was
captured by the Ducas street police, and put
in captivity at the station. The animal is said
not to be a vicious dog, has he in the past
evidenced any signs which would lead to the
theory Of rabies. but he will undoubtedly
be turned over to Dr. Price for examination.

GOT HIS LAST SHAVE
GEORGE KELLEY, ONE OF THE wy
OMING MURDERERS, RECEIVER
TONSORIAL ATTENTION
WHILE AT THE UNION DEPOT.
WAS EN- ROUTE TO CENTER CITY
WHERE HE WILL HANG
TUESDAY.
HIS MANACLES NOT REMOVED.
Deputies Carefully Watch the Pro-
ceedinSs I'm the Barber's Chair
Murderer Looks Well

George Kelley, one-of the bandits who
caused a reign of terror at the little
station Of Wyoming, on the St Paul &c
Duluth road last June, killing three
men in a restaurant and seriously in
juring Dr.. Foster. of st. Paul, passed
through the city yesterday afternoon
en- route from Red Wing, where the
trial took place. to Center City where
he will be executed before sunrise
Tuesday morning.
Kelley was accompanied by Sheriff
Anderson of Chisago county. and Dep
uty Baughan, and Sheriff Lundquist,
of Goodhue county, and two deputies
The force of deputies was taken along
as a precaution, as it is feared there,
may be some manifestations Of hostil-
ity as the man is carried through Wy
Oming. The party left the city on last
nights train for Center City and ar
rived there before l o'clock this MORN
ing.
Kelley was held in the union depot
during his stay in the city and few
people knew of his presence Soon af-
ter he arrived he asked for the boon
of being shaved once more before he
swung into eternity. Sheriff Anderson
took the murderer into the depot bar
Der shop but did not remove his man
acles. Kelley settled himself down in
his chair with sigh. 1t was not with
a sigh Of remorse or anything Of that
sort. 1t was a sigh Of satisfaction.
During the process the sheriffs
watched their prisoner closely, fear
ing that he might suddenly raise up
against the keen blade of the razor in
a mad attempt to cut his throat KEEL
ley. however, showed no signs Of any
such intention. He watched the razor
caFelessly and acted quietly. Kelley
showed no mental strain and was as
cool as any Of the party. He is not q
bad looking man, as murderers go.
Kelley, it is stated has made a prl-
waite confession, in which he admits
that 1t was he who fired the two shots
that sent Paul and Hayes into eternity.
Up to the present time he has insisted
that 1t was Wilson, the desperate. who
was killed in the swamp, that fired the
two shots, but seeing no hope Of a
reprleVe or a Communication of sentence
he determined to make a clean breast
of the whole affair. He says that 10
thoughts of robbery had entered their
minds until they saw DR.. Foster go
into the restaurant at Wyoming. He
looked like man Of means, and being
a little hard UP they made up their
minds to take his wallet. If the parties
in the restaurant hadn't attempted to
Illustrate the robbery no murder would
have occurred. Kelley further says that
Arthur Johnson had no hand whatever
in the robbery or murder. and he iS
glad the young lad was acquitted. AS
a last request, he asks that j. G. Meth

Photographic reports from all the rail-
