Boss Hays
Deposed.
The New Ulm Republicans Concluded he
Had Been Chairman Long Enough.
Someryille Gets the Senatorial Delegates.
Sam Peterson for the House.

At Sleepy Eye last week Chairman
Hays was treated to a surprise that will
keep him guessing for some time to come.
At the June convention Mr.. Hays was
elected chairman of the county commit
tee. He consequently considered his
hold on the job good for two years more
or at least until another campaign. But
the New Ulm republicans thought differ
ent. They had a candidate of their own
for chairman and they gave Hays to un-
derstand that they could elect new man
whenever they wanted to.
Proceeding along this line they oust-
ed Hays aud introduced to county poll
tics Chas. Grusendorf of New Ulm.
Hays protested, of course, but it did
MT do any good. The New Ulm con-
tingent owned the convention this time,
just as the Sleepy Eye outfit owned it in
June, and they took advantage of the
fact to rub it into the political seer of
the Sleepy Eye Dispatch.
Hays, to be sure, will have a chance
to get back at them through the columns
of his paper, and that he intends to do
so is evidenced by his statement in the
current issue to the effect that the faction
of Chairman Hornburg and his cohorts
from New Ulm is. denounced on all sides
as unscrupulous, dastardly, treacherous
and ungracious."
The matter of his disposal, he says,
has been laid before the state central
committee.
The convention which did all this was
held at Sleepy Eye on Tuesday.
G. II. Hornburg of New Ulm acted as
chairman and Julius Westinghouse of
Springfield kept the minutes. Commit
tees were appointed as follows:
dentials-Krook of New Ulm, Mo
of Sleepy Eye and Bendixen Of Sprin g.
field.

New Uln., Warnke of Springfield and
Buelow of Sleepy Eye.

nominated for their respective Offices by

The Commission Acts.

Acting upon the resolution of the
New Ulm Commercial Union the state
board of railroad and warehouse COM
missioners has proceeded on its motion
to investigate the freight rates on hard
coal between Duluth and New Ulm.
It will be remembered that alb out a
year ago this matter was taken up by
the Commercial Union, and that for GER
tain reasons nothing came out of it.
About two months ago the matter was
again raised and the secretary of the
Union was instructed to appeal to the
railroad commission. 5sg+ -
This was done at the time when the
commission was busy with the iron ore
rate cases in the northern part of the
state.
As. soon as those cases were disposed
of, the New Ulm petition was taken up
with. the result as given above.
Instead of requiring verified COM
plant from citizen of New Ulm, the
commission proceeds to investigate on
its own motion.
After examining the joint rates charged
by the St. Paul & Duluth, the Chicago
{ g Northwestern, the Minneapolis s. st.
Louis, and the Omaha roads, it finds the
facts to be as given in the Commercial
Unions resolution, and accordingly is
sues an order requiring the railroad COM
pan1es to show cause, within twenty
days, why the reduction demanded
should not be granted.
The present rate is $3.50 per ton.
This is % cents more per ton than the
nate to Traverse just to the east Of us,
and the same as that given to Marshall
eighty miles west. SIS
The Union deems that e2 Ier ton
would lie ! reasonable rate. So.

Good Words For Lind.

Recently the sick members of the
Twelfth in Minneapolis were interviewed
by the Times as to their opinion of Lind.
Here is what they said:
Arther Ward Of Company K: John
Lind is all right. He has done his duty
by the boys, and we all like him. Pm
not old enough to vote, but I'll ask my
friends to stand by Lind.
Sergeant John Flynn of Company G.:
The boys did not get we'll fed, but it was
not the fault of our quartermaster, who
Is we'll liked by them all. If it was not
for him they would be far worse off. He
did more for US than any quartermaster
at the park did for his men.
Mike Prech Of Company q: How did
we like our quartermaster? He did all
he could for the boys.
Ludwig johnson: You can believe all
you hear about the way we were treat
ed. Never got any delicacies. Had lots
of milk, thanks TO the quartermaster.
Joe Kaiser of Company G: John Lind
is all right; the boys would have been in
bad fix if we had had q man less honest
than Honest John Lind for our quarter
master.
Corporal Marshall NJ. Pratt of Compa-
| & :
NJ D: We had q good quartermaster,
John Lind. He was rustling all the
time for the boys, and they all like him.
Hope he will be elected. He will get
our votes, if some of Us have to be car,
rie,i TO the polls.

Calls Them Down.

In a letter to the Albert Lea Standard
1t. Carlyle Day of Company I has The
following to say of Quartermaster Lind:
The boys of our company and in fact
the whole regiment are indignant at the
attempt of some small-fry politicians
and small-bore newspapers to make the
people believe that Quartermaster John
Lind was to blame for the rotten rations
we received at different times and that
he even speculated on the meat. Such
statements show not only the rankest
kind of malice, but also the densest ig-
norance, because a. person, with any
knowledge of military affairs whatever,
knows that when a regiment is encamped
with others in brigades and divisions the
1eglmental quartermaster is merely a
m1ddleman and receives and turns sup
plies over to his regiment and has moth
ing more to do with their purchase than
any private IN the ranks. The boys
know how much John Lind has done for
them and how hard and faithfully he
has worked, and have nothing but feel
ings of respect and devotion for him.
Politics does not enter into the matter
in any way, but straw canvass of the
regiment shows that there are not fifty
men in it who are not his enthusiastic
friends. The vile report, that Col. Bob
Letter was in any way responsible for the
poor rations, is too ridiculous to be con-
sidered. But enough Tor now. Things
will be righted and justice will be done.

Gov. Clough's S
Opinion. ,
He Gives the Minneapolis Times His I'm
Impressions Of the Twelfth and
the People of New Ulm.
Incidentally He Makes a Few Flattering
Comments on Quartermaster
Lind. " H., Il

To Minneapolis Times reporter Gov.
Clough said after his return to St. Paul
that the reception accorded by the peo-
pie of New Ulm to the Twelfth regiment
was one of which the state might well
feel proud.
Speaking of the regiment and its Off
GERS, the governor said:
"The officers of the Twelfth are all
| right. The manner in which the regi-
ment drills proves that Col. Bobleter is
splendid officer. Why, the boys work
like clock-work. never saw better
drilled regiment, anu don't know that
have seen any drill so we'll"
| eyes; but did you see John Lind
| there2" .,t
eyes, had pleasant chat with John
| Lind. We ate at the same table, but
there was no politics talked. The boys
were talking about him, though, and I
will say that they think they had the
best quartermaster at Chickamauga, and
! that he took better care of the boys than
any other man down there.
"Now, I am not going to talk politics
OF any kind, you understand. My visit
to New Ulm and what I did and said
while there was combined business and
courtesy, but ali the boys seem 10 have
a very soft spot IN their hearts for Lind
in fact everyone up there seems to
think he is all right.
"The people of New Ulm left nothing
undone IN their treatment of the Twelfth.
Their hospitality is great. They have
fixed up dandy hospital there, and if
the boys get to feeling poorly, they can
be just as we'll cared for there as they
could be down here. We had royal
good time up there and were we'll
treated by the colonel and his entire
regiment and the people of New Ulm.
"1t was a pleasure to hear so many OF
the boys remark during my stay there
that John Lind had done his. duty as
quartermaster and had endeared himself
to the boys of the regiment. 1t makes
me glad that John was appointed to the
commission. He seems to have been
the right man in the right place."
The governor described with much
enthusiasm the skirmish drill, sham bat
tie and maneuvering of the regiment
during the review. He was dumbfound-
| ed at the excellence in drill exhibited by
the Minnesota volunteers. He describes
their camping ground as ideally situated
and in healthful condition, and saws
that the boys are all happy. .-

Charges Against Caine.

At tie instigation of Chaplain Clem.
ems of the Twelfth, charges have been
preferred against DR.. Caine, the regi-
mental surgeon, and the hearing will be
had this month. Clemens claims that
Caine called him''a liar and hypocrite, "
language that is decidedly distasteful to
the chaplain, and, as far as the Review
knows, entirely unwarranted. The only
penalty that could be inflicted upon
Caine for this offense would be dis
honorable discharge.

Hodges Versus Somerville.


The senatorial conventions have all
been held and the nominees of all par
ties are before the people.
Geo. W. Somervil]e had solid delegates
from both counties in the republican
convention and was nominated with a
hurrah.
W. R. Hodges of the Sleepy Eye Her.
aid will be his opponent. The conven.
tions which nominated him, democratic
and populist, were held at Sleepy Eye
Saturday. Neither Bertrand nor Erickson
would consent to run, so the honor went
to Hodges without opposition. He will
give Somerville close contest, inasmuch
as he possesses large and friendly &C.
quaintance among the farmers of both
counties.

one and 10 regret was expressed at their
being compelled to return. The Winona
committee expressed the sentiment about

ON CHANGE
Conditions Shown by the Dealings on
Wall Street

NEW YORK, Feb. 15.-Todays sharp
rally in stocks Is to be attributed to the
covering of short contracts put out ON
yesterdays furry. Buying was said to be
heavy for washington account which was
a heavy seller yesterday. Losses were more
than recovered in most cases, notwith-
standing smaller volume of business to-
day, There was at least one period of gem
eral reaction during the day, but 1t was Of
short duration and declines reached small
proportions. American securities con-
tinued favorites on the London stock ex-
change. where prices of Americans were
marked up with distinctly confident tone
before the opening here, and London con-
tinued buyer here.even after prices had
advanced to the London parity. Much
stress was laid on this as indicating def
mite Change In the attitude of the British
investing public toward American securi-
ties. They were persistent sellers of
Americans during all of last summer and
during the subsequent rise which has been
almost continuous since November. They
are now buying American stocks at prices
many points above where they sold. This
buying is regarded as far more significant
on account of the higher rates of money in
London as compared with New York and
the heavy balance of exchange still known
to be outstanding In favor of this country.
In Paris Spanish fours declined on fears of
strained relations between the United
States and Spain and American securities
declined on some of the continental ex-
changes, but London needed none of these
considerations and continued buying at
advancing prices. Foreign exchange be-
gins to reflect this buying, and demand
sterling today declined u and cable trans
fers the same amount. Metropolitan Street
railway showed a continuance of yester-
days weakness after an early period of
strength. and dropped four points. 1t SUBJ
sequently rallied but closed today with
sharp loss.
Other local securities were strong. Min
nesota iron was conspicuously heavy and
Lake Shore ruled below last nights price,
There were a few losses shown by con-
spicuous stocks but the general level of
prices at the close was very materially
higher. In the active list net gains of be-
tween one and two points for the day were
frequent.

Glass An officer will be sent there today
to bring him back to Los Angeles, when.
with Joe d. Dawson, now In the city jail,
ne will have to defend charge of robbing
an ignorant German Of years savings,
amounting to $3.50. The robbery was COM
mitted about ten days ago.
Carl Schmidt, ranch hand, came to this
city a few days before and fell In with
Mosier and Dawson. Schmidt had nearly
$500 in cash and spent his money freely.
On the night of February 9Th he went with
Dawson and Mosier into the back room of
saloon on Commercial street, near Main.
Mosier ordered a round of drinks and all
drank Schmidt then treated and soon
after drinking a second time he relapsed
into semi-conscious condition. When he
recovered his senses his companions and
$3.50 of his money were gone. He reported
the matter to the detectives and Dawson
was captured. He laid the blame for the
robbery on Mosier who had disappeared.
The detectives learned that Mosier had
gone to San Diego and caused his arrest
there.
Mosier is well known to the police. About
two months ago. while in charge of a sa-
loon at First and Los Angeles streets, he
struck an old man on the head with a
pitcher, fracturing his skull. The victim
of the assault failed to appear when the
case was called and he was discharged, the
license of the saloon being afterwards re-
voked.

The accounts that are being published
OF the almost incredible hardships to which
men are submitting in their search for
gold In the extreme northern ice-bound
territories would seem enough to deter
even the boldest spirits from running the
risk of similar sufferings. But in such
cases argument is wasted and illustration
ignored. The adventurous spirits will go
forward, leaving the moderate assurances
OF competency at home in favor of gaining
the big prize at once under the SHOWS of
tnhospitable and strange lands.
Frequent attention has been called to the
neglect OF CALIFORNIA; mineral resources.
Prospectors have confined their researches
TO tho narrow scope of the two precious
metals, gold and silver. and there has prob
ably never been. in a single district, any
systematic search. conducted for anything
eise.t This is not saying, says a northern
contemporary that there has been no min
erai development In any other direction.
Deposits OF borax, sulphur, quicksilver,
salt. iron ore. lime and gypsum, ocher and
the commoner paints, and beds of coal,
with few other minerals OF value in the
industries or the arts, have been worked
on O greater or less scale, but 1t will be
found upon investigation that in almost
every instance these were accidental dis
coveries, upon which the prospector In
search of precious metals stumbled. But
besides all these. generally recognizable
by an unframed eye, there is long list
of rare minerals. many of which are in
eager demand throughout the world the
most of which have not yet been so much
as named in Calfornia's mineral inventory.
. A list of these rare and valuable metals
was recently prepared by competent
scientific authority, and as 1t is well worth
the attention both OF the prospector and
the student is is reproduced below. The

CHICAGO MARKET
Prices and Prospects of the Trade in
Cereals

CHICAGO, Feb. 15-For few minutes
following the opening in wheat it looked as
IL the dollar mark for May was at'last to
be reached There was hardly any wheat
offered for sale on the curb, and this con-
dition also prevailed when the regular
market opened. Reports that Letter had
contracted with the Lehigh road for the
moving of 2,0000 900 bushels of his wheat to
the seaboard were not substantiated but
the report rapidly spread that May wheat
was almost completely tied up by the
Letter influences, and when the market
opened, there was a rush of anxious shorts
to get under cover.
Letter had sold no wheat during the day.
On the contrary, he was credited with
buying a little. This added to the belief
that he is in control of the May market,
and started buying again. May closed at
99ss@99isc.
Corn was active and higher. May closed
with an advance Of &c.
Oats were strong and fairly active. May
closed steady at an advance of * to 1c.
Provisions were fairly active. May pork
closed zoe higher, and May lard and ribs
unchanged.
