One of Jerry,s Dreams.

Jerry j., the political writer of the
Minneapolis Journal is not only prolific
with his pen, but he has wonderful
faculty for clothing imaginary creations
of the tiimsiest nature with garb that
makes them look plausible, if not abso-s
lutely true. On Monday, tor example,
he sprung yarn about John Lind, for
which there was not the slightest war
rant, but it reads just as if Jerry j. were
Mr.. Lind's private secretary or advisor.
Here it is:
There is very general understanding
among republicans Of the second and
third districts, living in the neighbor-
hood of New Ulm, that john Lind will
head the fusion forces for governor this
year in a way that will make it compar-
atively easy for disgruntled republicans
to support him. It is said and this, too
by those who pretend to know what they
are talking about that Mr.. Lind will, in
advance of any of the conventions Of
June Is, announce himself as "a candi-
date for governor on an independent
platform. This will give him full swing
to shape the campaign as he sees fit as
to state issues. he will write this plat
form, of course, after careful consulta-
ton with leading populists, silver repub-
licans and democrats, and will incorpor-
ate nothing in it that will not bs likely
to secure the support of the forces at
convention time. Having thus set the
pace for the opposition campaign, the
June conventions will be in 4 large way

be enominated or lndorsed in each of these
bodies, and his indie PENDENT platform
will be, in the main, adopted. Mr.. Lind
will secure An immense prestige ~ such

s.lzbrun Must Pay His Tax.

An interesting opinion has been hand
ed down by Attorney General Childs in
the case of Heinrich Salzbrun, Ger
man resident of Sleepy Eye. The
amount involved is small but the prin-
Eciple is one over which there has been
much dispute. Salzbrun, it Sc ems, was
called upon to do 1895 worth of labor
on the highway as poll tax. He refused
to do SO, and appealed to Germany,
which through its consul, asked Gov.
Clough to remit the tax. The govern
or asked for an opinion on the question
from the attorney general, who holds
that salzbrun must pay the tax, the
fact that he is a subject of Germ any not
exempting him. Mr.. Childs says in his
opinion:
Liability to personal labor upon q
highway does not rest upon citizenship.
An alien inhabitant of the state enjoys
no exemption from such duty. The
courts of this country have not only
sustained the constitutionality Of such
tax, but have also held that an alien
Iinhabitant is liable to the same. No
distinction can be drawn between stat
ute authorizing the imposition Of the
performance Of one or more days labor
upon highway and upon a levy Of a
poll tax. They are essentially the same.
The duty is imposed upon the 1Ddiyldu-
al regardless Of the property interests in
either case. . &

charming shot-Silk waists in pearl gray
and rose color, or silver and ciel blue,
are made with a second Over-waist of
embroidered lisse, or silk net, which
delicately wells but does not hide the
beauty of the waist beneath. Misty
gray tulle is draped over seashell- pink
satin or taffeta on blouses crossed in
trellis patterns with lines of velvet rib
bon; and white mousseline de sole
waists over white satin are garnished
all over with very elegant applique
pieces-bolero fronts, points, yokes, and
bands of black lace. Many of the new
est guimpes and yokes extend out upon
the sleeve-tops, and the sleeve itself
then begins some distance below the
shoulder This is pretty upon some
figures, and effective with many fab
rics in combination, but it is not be-
coming arrangement to all.
Many of the newest coiffures for full
dress occasions this season show the
hair arranged very high on the extreme
top of the very back Of the head. This
style is designated wholly for indoor
coiffures, for no hat or bonnet could
possibly be worn above the towering
coils or empire loops, which are often
supplemented by a jeweled butterfly
poised above the coif or a high comb
encrusted with rhinestones and faceted
mock jewels of every description.
y
Pink, cream, tan, blue and ecru
pique suits in tailor style are made
with seven-gored or circular
shaped skirt, which, notwithstanding
their familiar form, are completed by
a pleated Norfolk waist With these
are worn very handsome belts, with
trimmings and buckles of solid silver
or gold filigree. Again, there are suits
with short Eton jacket, and a blouse
tucked French muslin, or there is a
very smart cutaway, with braid
trimmed vest. or one of null over tinted
silk, pink being a favorite color.
Stole-ends finish nearly all the new
est shoulder-capes, summer pelerines,
fichus. and berthas of the season. There
is no monotony about these Stoles. Some
are very long, and are of even width
others are narrow near the throat, and
widen more or less as they descend
to the knees-or below them. Again
