HINTS TO THE COURT.
Attorney COuntrynian Thinks the
Supreme Court Was Wrong

M. L. Countryman. counsel for Mrs Alice
Merrill. In her suit against the Security Trust
company. assignee of the plaintiff's husband
Daniel D. Merrill. now deceased. takes the
position that the supreme court. in making
its recent decsions overlooked number Of
important points.
The court in its decision reversing the order
appealed from holds substantially that in
solvency proceedings in this state operate as
an administrations of the debtors estate.
analogous to the administration thereof IN
probate court, and that the provisions of law
relating to the disposition of real property
in probate court must be held applicable to
such insolvency proceedings SO as 10 cut off
the statutory interest of the non-assenting
spouse ~
He submits in brief just filed that In
so holding this court must have overlooked
and failed to consider the important statutory
distinction between insolvency proceodtngs
and probate proceedings. to-wit: In the lat
ter. not only is all the property of the de-
ceased before the court but so also are all
his creditors. resident and nonresident, and
they have no rights or remedies for the en-
forcement OF their claims except to prove the
same in the probate court and receive the
dividend which is paid out Of the proceeds

Charles Hecox has set of beautifully
stuffed birds on exhibition at Armory hall,

This Is a bit vague. but We infer that

If the suggestion Of the News Is adopted by

The Wabasha county farmers are
wondering where Tawney's protection
to their barley is staying. The local
elevators are paying 25 cents a bushel,
while the tariff is 80 cents. So they
have made up their minds to try how
it will work to help themselves instead
of relying upon Jupiter Tawney. They
are going to agitate for the consump-
ton of home made beer, because their
local brewers pay 35 cents a bushel.
Some day all farmers will sense, as
some now do, the awful humbuggery
and cheat Of protection, whether to
barley, eggs or wool.

THE STATE VS.. BICKEL.
Once More the Young Banker Will
Go to Trial

The familiar call of the estate of Mime
sofa against William F. Bickel'' will be heard
in Judge Willis court room this morning
There is one more indictment outstanding
against Mr.. Bickel-that charging him with
stealing three promissory notes from John
Nusser. That is the case that will be called
for trial. But that the case will go to a
jury Is extremely improbable. The affidavit of
John Nusser. in the possession of the de-
tense. to the effect that he entrusted the
notes to Bickel to- use as he saw fit, and
absolving Bickel from any charge of fraud
ulent use Of the same, is regarded by the pros
ecution as a complete defense Nusser will
probably be put upon the stand by the coun-
ty attorney with view to cross-exam.ning
him concerning the alleged discrepancy be-
tween his affidavit and his verbal story told
to County Attorney Anderson. Then the
county attorney will move to nolle the indict-

Mr. Thomas Cochran sends protest
to the Pioneer Press against its dis
missal Of Mr.. Bryan and his bimetal-
ism, and closes with this:
One other thought. We shall need, in the
next campaign, the votes Of all the sound
money men OF both parties. 1t will not do
by foolish craftsmanship in either municipal
state or national affairs, unwisely or unneces-
sartly to estrange those Democrats who voted
with us before and whose votes we shall
need again.
Very pertinent to this mild remon-
STRANGE against further buncoing Dem
ocrats is a letter we find in the New
York Times relative to an editorial
urging that Republican treatment of
the tariff and currency was disgusting
the Democrats who made Republican
success possible in go. The writer
says:
-, 1t has been the experience of the country
that good crop has been a promise Of more
active business than has come to US this
time, and why. has it failed this time2 1t is
the strong feeling Of many that the Dingley
tariff and the failure to secure better cur
rency conditions have strangled the growth.
By way of one example, a New York man
OF good business standing said to me this
morning that he hod always been a con-
ststent and urgent gold Democrat, but that
1896 he certainly would do his best to de-
feat the Republican party, let the result be
what 1T will. If it should result in the ma
chine being pulled to pieces. one had better
start over again and build It, free from de-
fects. And this is the feeling Of very many.

KLONDIKE RACE.
a Claim Worth 100000 the Prize
Mt Stake.

TACOMA, Wash. Jan. 17.-With the
thermometer thirty degrees below zero,
a midnight race over thirty-five miles
of rough mountain country in the heart
of the Klondike has earned for George
Graham, a Shelton logger, the first
prize of stalking overlooked and unplac-
ed claims valued at 100000. Graham
was at the Canadian registers office
on the afternoon of Nov. Is, when a
man rushed in and filed a claim on
French Pete creek. which adjoins the
richest part of Eldorado. He had dis
covered that in the rush to the Klon-
dixie, five claims on French Pete creek
had been overlooked. Graham rushed
to locate the others, having given the
tip to three of his friends. They were
followed in a wild race by 200 other
miners, but succeeded in getting on the
coveted ground first.

Mr.. Menocal is chief engineer Of the
navy. He Is a member Of this latest
commission that has gone down to
Nicaragua to find out how much it
will cost to build the canal. He was
the Nicaragua Canal company's star
witness when Cleveland's commission
reported that the companys estimated
cost of $3.50, 000,0O0 was ludicrously in
sufficient; that their incomplete sur
vey showed that two or three times that
sum would be needed, and that no
engineer of the company had ever
gone over the whole route. Menocal
intimated that the commission didn't
know what it was talking about, and
was positive that the canal could be
built, if only the United States would
guarantee a hundred million or
so of the company's bonds Menocal
is suddenly recalled. A court Of in
quiry wants him. 1t is trying to find
out why the dry dock in the Brooklyn
navy yard caved in. It was built IN
der Menocal's direction and superin-
tendence. The cave-in is due to bad
work, and the court wants to know
how he came to let it be done so badly.
1t is well that he is recalled. An en-
gineer who cannot build a dry dock
that will stand can hardly be trusted
to advise congress as to the cost of
digging an isthmian canal.

Cart. John Goldman, doughty COM
batter of shams and jobs and staunch
Democrat always and everywhere,
contrasts the nonchalance with which
the government saw the buffalo made
way with and its tender solicitude for
the seal. Cattle and sheep took the
place Of the buffalo. and their ranges
gave mankind something more valua-
BILE than buffalo pelts. Just SO, he
says, salmon, cod and halibut are of
greater Importance to the people than
are seal skins. He says that Alaska
fishermen told him that the seals are
the pirates of those seas. They live
on fish. Salmon are disappearing, and
the fish annually consumed by seals
are worth more for food than are all
the furs of all the seals. But John
will protest in vain.

food at Circle City. He also confirms
previous reports that there will be no
suffering at Dawson this winter from
lack of provisions. He does not think
that the government relief expedition
is feasible at this time. j. T. Lacey,

lumber to Skaguay on the Noyo says so

the people can hardly wait until it is
unloaded. Mr.. Lacey says that but a

pie who arrived at Dyea and Skaguay

them He predicts that the congestion
on the trails will be greater than it
was last season.

And cannot see the good green land
Nor ridge of rock nor u belt Of sand.

How long might little boat be sinking2
More saucily the bubbles wink.

And from drought with nothing but brine

How long would Il strong man swim, dye

Birds That Have No wings.

When dne is a child and sees a
bird, the usual thing told him is,
"Get little salt and put it on the
tail of the bird, and you can catch
him. OF course the child and the
others look at each other and think
it a huge joke. Although this may
be the case in most parts of the
earth it is not a joke at Laysan is
land.
Laysan island, situated as it is
longitude III degrees west, latitude
rs. degrees and ~ minutes north-is

width, with the highest altitude 29

one sees large f1ocks Of birds, which
make a black streak in the air, above

reefs. The harbor is on the south
west side. The island itself is only
a large bank of sand, with a lagoon
