But $15, 600 is needed to clear off the
s35, 900 debt of Hamline University.
Mr.. J. J. HILL having generously
promised the other 5000 To secure
that gift of Mr.. Hills, the smaller
amount must be raised, and it ought to
be raised soon, for two reasons. The
institution is worthy one, of which
the people of St. Paul and the state,
forthat matter, may we'll be proud, and
the sooner it is freed from it's hamper
ing debt, the sColer it will be able to-
increase the scope of it's work and
continue the thorough prosecution of
the same. Again the disposition of
our wealthy men to help along educa-
tional and charitable institutions is
one that ought to be encouraged by
proper appreciation and cooperation.
Mr.. Hills generosity to such institu-
tions is to we'll known to require COM

muss Show Cause. !,

Lucas Kells, City Treasurer, must
a6near before Judge Searle on next
Saturday to show cause why q per
petual injunction should not restrain
him from paying city order for $3.50
;ssued TO Solomon Pendergast for the
purchase, of the brewery property. 1t
will be remembered that the City Coun-
Gil was to receive a deed of the prop
erty when the money should be paid
into the First National Bank. An Or
der was issued to the administrators of
the estate of VIM. BONNER which was
not accepted. Mr.. Pendergast gave
his check for the money to the City
Clerk. who took the deed running to
the city. The city thereupon decided
the property to Mr.. Pendergast, and
issued a city order to him to repur-
chase the property from him. This Or
der the City Treasurer, under advice
of his attorney, declined to pay until
he could investigate the matter more
closely. This was on Friday last, and
on Monday the treasurer was served
with the order to show cause, and the
case will be argued on Saturday. as
above indicated. 1t is expected the
whole question will then come up on
its merits, including the right of the
CITY Council to buy and sell real es-
tate for the purposes indicated.

And now, comes the report, by the
way of Bismark, N. D., that Robert
White, formerly of this city, has writ

struck it very rich in the Klondike
country. and has taken out q rouId
million of bright, yellow, shining

man claimining to be the minister who
officiated at his funeral. Clearly one
or the other of these conflicting an

TEN : CENT WAR STAMP

Guthrie, o. T., Aug. s.-tSpeciai)-
When the full effect Of the war revenue
law is comprehended in Its relations 10
public weighers it is not likely that there
will be SO much Of a scramble for the
Office of county weigher, hence the cheer
fulness with which the Populists are sur
rendering that office TO their Democratic
allies. The office Of county weigher was
created by the Demo-Pop legislature OF
1897 at the instigation of Chief Clerk
Mackey, that prince Of good thing" poll
ticians, who, a. the close of the legislat-
ure, had himself appointed public weigh
er for Grant comfy. The law prescribes
the fee TO be charged by the county
weigher, which is 10 cents for each bale
Of cotton, and the same amount for each
load OF seed cotton, grain Of any kind,
live stock, coal, hay or wood, as well as
quantities less than loads, the weigher
being granted a lien on the commodity
weighed by him for h \ fees. AS origin
ally drawn by MackeyA the bin gave
monopoly into the hands of the public
the graft was so coarse and SO scandal
Gus that even the Demo-Pops were shock
ed and the bill was amended into its pres
ent shape, which still leaves the aoffice Of
public weigher a pretty good thing, or
did, rather, until the war revenue law
wetn into effect. Under the provisions of
the territorial law il is made the duty Of
the public wegher to furnish the person,
firm or corporation applying for such
weights a net weight certificate bearing
his official signature. and TO keep a true
and perfect copy Of the same. In answer
TO several inquiries, the United States
attorneys office has held that every one
of these certificates is subjected TO the
government stamps under the provisions
of the revenue law which prescribes that
certificates of every kind must bear 10
cent stamp, which practically compels the
public weigher TO quit business as he will
be obliged to blow in all his receipts for
revenue stamps.
