N. L. Eaton of Maiden Drowned on Trip
to Portland.

Wednesday evening just before the
steamer Portland left Boston for this
city. a man who gave his name as N. L..
Eaton, engaged an outside stateroom.
No one took any particular notice OF
him. but as hia stateroom was not opened
at 9 o'clock yesterday morning, and no
response could be obtained from anyone
within, the door was opened by pass
key.
Eaton's hat and coat were found in the
room, and there were beside pair OF
cuffs and couple of wallets. The wallets
contained very little money, but in one
was check for $3.50 drawn in favor OF
N. L. Eaton.
There were besides in the room a sealed
letter addressed to Mrs. N. L. Eaton.
90 Dexter street, Maiden, Mass, and
an unseaIed note directing the finder
to forward the letter and his other effects
to the address given.
The presumption is Of course that Eaton
jumped overheard during the trip. Moth
ing further is known about him.

mfnistration Of our state should have an over
hauling and that the proper and competent
man to do 1t is John Lind. Everywhere
among thoughtful men there is a belief that
John Lind will be elected which is a pretty
sure indication Of his growing strength with
the people.-Owatonna Peoples Press.
John Lind, the Democratic candidate for
governor, is making a tour of the state, de-
1vertng speeches and talking in the plain
and convincing manner for which he is not
ed. He attempts no flights of oratory. but
ne discusses matters of state policy in O.
manner which carries conviction to his hear
ers. No citizen can listen to him without
feeling that he Is right. and honest and
conscientious. and should be elected, and
placed where he can carry out these needed
reforms.-St. ~Cloud Daily Times
The great speech made by John Lind in
this city last week made him many friends
among those hitherto opposed to him. His
clear presentation Of state issues and the
way he showed that Eustis was evading those
issues had great effect. Mr.. Lind will carry
Morrison county by larger majority than
two years ago.-Little Falls Daily Herald.
The speeches which Mr.. Lind is making
IN various towns in the northern part OF
the state have stirred the Republican bosses
and the Republican newspapers into q state
OF frenzy. The exposure of some of the OF,
hcfal acts Of Republican officeholders in the
management of our state institutions has
alarmed the Republican politicians. lest the
people Of the state repudiate the party at
the polls. Mr.. Lind is making it very live
Iy for those who have in charge the CAM
paign of Mr.. Eustis.-Winona Daily Herald
The Republican party has been so long In
power in the administration Of state affairs
in Minnesota that its leaders seemed i'm
pressed with the idea that they own the

Let us see! The Northwestern Guar
arty Loan company failed in May, 1893
and against the alleged assets there
We're filed by creditors claims in the
sum of S., 100000. According to the re-
port of the receiver, the Minneapolis
Trust company, the assets remaining
in it's hands April 1. 1895, amounted
ito about $Sl0 745-nominal value"
When, in January, 1891, John H.
Burke made hisfcritical charges against
the Guaranty Loan company, a direc-
tors meeting was called and held on
the 18th of that month. w. H. Eustis
was present. He was appointed on q
committee with George A. Pillsbury
and Loren Fletcher to examine into
the charges advanced by Burke. On
Jan. 2S a meeting of the directors was
held at which Mr.. Menage rendered his
resignation because he had been per-
sonally attacked. 1t was not accepted,
and the directors of the company (Mr.
Eustis being present. expressed their
satisfaction with the management of
its affairs, and especially with the hon
orable character and integrity Of that
gentleman who was the president Of
the institution.
On Jan. 20 the committee on investi-
cation appointed on the 18th made
its report. 1T was signed by Eustis,
Fletcher and Pillsbury, and declared
everything to be ship-shape.
Then, in March. 1892, NJ. D. Kenyon,
as public examiner, who now attacks
John Lind in connection with the
Brown County bank, took a hand, in
which he SAYS:
AS to the loans thus reported upon (by the
appraisers). this Office accepted the report as
sufficient evidence Of the value Of the securt-
ties. In regard to the securities in the mort
gage loans account not so reported on, not
having funds to make exhaustive personal
examination l have ayailed myself of the
public records and obtained assessed valu-
ations by correspondence with the officers in
the various localities, and found $3.50, 621
leaned ON property assessed at $685. $50. and in
most cases the officers informed me that the
assessed values are much below actual
values.
Not having funds to make ex-
haustive personal examination, 1 have
awaited myself Of the public records,
etc"
The Republican government of the
state could not provide the honest
Kenyon with funds sufficient to ena-
BILE him to determine whether its citi-
zens were being robbed by money
sharks or not! What d confession for
public official to make!
It is stated, on reasonably accurate
authority, that the claims against the
Guaranty Loan company amounted to
approximately $4,000, 900.
William Henry EUstis was for five
years a director of that institution and
while he occupied the Office OF mayor
of Minneapolis was also, in addition to
being a director, inspector and loan
examiner Of the Guaranty Loan COM
pany!
And. by the way, the Brown County
bank-in which John Lind is, as he ad-
mits, a stakeholder in the small sum of
2,000-has never failed. Nobody has
questioned its solvency, and no one has
lost any money through the closing OF
its doors. What, then, is the use Of
the Republicans surrounding and bark
ing furiously up a gum tree when there
is known to be no 'possum up it?
