ILLEGAL FIGHT.
Quinton & Quinton Secure the Issu-
ance of an Execution Against F.
e Holiday.

An execution was issued today by the
clerk of the district court against F. E.
Holiday and others on a judgment
amounting at the present time to some
thing over six thousand dollars in the
case of w. w. Bradstreet against Hol-
Hday and others.
The original case was a, foreclosure
case, a relic of boom times, but a per-
sonal judgment was rendered against
Holiday. Quinton & Quinton are now
attorneys for Bradstreet and today took
steps to collect the judgment. This
would seem to be a sequel to the gar
nishment run by Holiday against E. s.
Quinton last week in another case on a
Judgment of some eight hundred dol
lars.

TO REDUCE THE ARMY.
Military Force Will Be Cut
Down to 100000 Men.

Washington, Aug. 13.-The war de-
partment is seriously considering the
settlement of the questions growing out
of the Spanish war. The disposition of
troops, the number to be retained, and
what troops to muster out of service is
one of the questions that is giving the
department considerable concern.
The army probably will be reduced
to 100, 900 men and the other volunteer
troops will be mustered out as soon as
the department can conveniently do so.

A NEW AMERICA.
Prominent Men Give Their
Views on the War.

Chicago. Aug. 19.-The Tribune today
prints the following:
"Olympia, Wash, Aug. 13.-The Span
ish war has taught the American people
the value of national power on the seas
A proper utilization of the lesson will
give US an immense increase in merch-
ant marine and foreign commerce.
With foreign commerce has always
gone increase in knowledge. In 1854
Commodore Perry's ships fOrcibly
opened Japanese ports to the trade Of
the world. The birth of what is prac-
tically a new nation was the result. If
the present war induces our people in
like manner to cast their eyes abroad
a new and grander America than the
past has known will have in the travail
of the Spanish war its origin and birth.
Our place in the future history of the
world will depend upon our cOmprehen-
sion of the present opportunities.

dict Republican success in Mime

said Thursday to Minneapolis
Journal correspondent: #s
The only difference will Be
that the majorities OF the con.
gressmen elected this fail will be
larger than they were two years
ago. The political conditions in
Minnesota and in fact all through
the northwest could not be- more
promising for the Republicans.
1t is due to the magnificent sue.
cess Of President McKinley's ad-
ministration. That fact cannot
be too strongly emphasized. His
conduct of the war is endorsed by
men of all parties, and I believe
their votes will be cast in Novem-
Der for the Republican candidates
in order to show their apprecia-
ton. Free silver is not discussed.
1t is absolutely dead, and our
farmers are too busy enjoying the
prosperity that has come to them
to be fooled with this issue. I am
confident that the next congress
will be in full control of the Re-
publicans. We shall have . good
working majority in the senate.
while the majority in the house
may not be % great as we now
have, it will be sufficiently large
for all purposes.'

the loss to depositors will be about
$4,000; with assets OF $40 cash
and $500 in notes. The loss will
fall very heavily upon many peo-
pie Of limited means who had
their all deposited in the bank.
The failure is SAID to be due to

lynch the cashier but the sheriff
