told during the last campaign that
Gov. Clough had instructed the

votes for Lind. DR.. McLain, a
North Dakota farmer and also a
member of the Minneapolis Board Of

matter will be probed to the bottom
and persons named in connection
with these charges will undoubtedly
be given an opportunity to tell what
they know.

impersonators of celebrities and
crayon pastel workers. The two
are regarded the finest of their
class, and it is believed that these
entertainments will be the finest of
the course.
The two change artists produce
the impression of large company,
and presenting in one evening
range of features so wide and dis
similar that it will require several
evenings and peculiar advantages
to see, otherwise. The entertain
ment is one that is distinctly their
own, originating with them, and
there is nothing else like it on the
platform. Thousands who seldom
or never attend conventional enter
tainments are attracted by it, and
people of all tastes and stations in
life are alike delighted,
Willard Gorton gives a perfect
representation of The VagabOnd, of
Col. Berners, of Cy. Prime, of the
Rev. T. Dewitt Talmage, of Sven
gall, and of Ferdinand Honeyton,
and in each has he received num-
erous press enconiums. G. Paul
Smith impersonating Anna Dickin-
son, Bernhardt, Elizabeth Cady
Stanton, Henry Irving, zachariah
Spicer, John B. Cough, and most
any school boy, while his crayon
pastels, made in full view of the
audience, upon large sheets of
creamy paper, with crayons of
various colors, call forth the admira-
ton and applause of the audience.
He draws picture after picture,
speaking portraits, beautiful land
scapes, brilliant marines, and ire
sistably funny cartoons, with rapid
ity, accuracy, finish and variety of
work in a manner that is nothing
short of marvellous, but when the
audience sees him, with a few def
touches, transform a picture-al-
ready complete in itself-to some
thing entirely different, it begins to
believe that here is something of a
magician as we'll as an artist, and
watches him spell-bound with de-
light, wondering what surprise the
next stroke of his crayon has in
store for them.
Smith and Gorton have travelled
together for ten consecutive years,
and this has given their perform
ance a smoothness and finish not to
be obtained in any other way, and it
is doubtful whether more stellar
attraction appears on the American
stage today.

JOE MAY BE IN 1T.
Millionaire James Tyson Passes
Away in Australia.

Joseph Tyson of this city claims
to be one of the heirs to a fortune of
$25, 900, 900, left by the death of
James Tyson, bachelor of Aus
stralia. There are other claimants
besides Mr.. Tyson-his brother,
being one, and Mrs. Mary Ann
Sharp, wife of a carpenter of Des
Moines being another. Mrs. Sharp,
however, does not propose to allow
Joe and his brother to get into the
fortune at all, claiming that she and
her two brothers, John and VIM.
Tyson, both residing in England,
are the only heirs to the vast estate.
Joe came from England, and will
undoubtedly trace relationship
with the deceased millionaire Aus
tralian..
The story of the life of James
Tyson is told by the London Times,
whose clever reporter has drafted a
pretty romance out of the whole
affair. Tyson was born in the bush,
and worked as farm hand, after
wards going to hill station to herd
bullocks. Later he ''set up for
himself on the Billybong river, but
drought killed his herd and drove
him to desperation, and later he
went to cattle keeping in thirds y
for others, but in order to secure
some capital he set out acrosss a
200 mile stretch to get five pounds
which was coming to him. He had
one shilling and food for three days
when he started out, and his food
failed him. He fed upon grass and
roots, and was almost insane, when
he saw cottage in the bush, and a
young girl come out of the same.
He was then barely q, she a little
more than II.
II wish, MISS he began diff
fidently, ito inquire the way to-
"But you are hungry, cried the
girl; "come in and eat. -
Tyson drew back, but the girl
put her hand upon his arm, and in
the simple manner of the women of
the wilderness, drew him into the
hut. She called to her sister to
come and help, and in few minutes
Tyson was sitting before good
breakfast.
The young bushman was in the
house but fifteen minutes at most.
So shy was he that he scarcely
spoke to the girl he had at first
seen, but he turned upon her eyes
that were eloquent. He could not
have told what her sister looked
like. He never knew afterwards
whether the father came into the
room. He was like one in dream.
And in a dream he went away
with mumbled inarticulate thanks
and a look in his honest eyes that
the girl fer years. remembered.
For some reason Tyson did not get

DEMOCRATS PLANNING
To Control the Legislature TWO
Years Hence.

Years Hence.
There can be little doubt that the
Fusionists are quietly planning to
elect Fusion Legislature two
years hence and good deal of
shrewd political maneuvering may
be expected in nearly every legisla-
tive district in the State. The plan
will, perhaps, be first of all to dis
organize the Republican party.
They will support anybody who is
against the regular Republican nom
inee who can have any hope of be-
ing elected. In Republican strong
holds, where there is no hope OF
electing Democrat or a Populist,
an independent Republican candi-
date or a free silver Republican
with Fusion endorsement will re-
ceive the Democratic support. The
object is to get full control of the
State government and if possible to
elect Democratic United States
Senator. Any one who has occasion
to meet the many ambitious Demo
Gratis who come to the capital, real
ICES fully how strong the Democrats
feel they are since Lind's election.
That appetite of forty years stand
ing is becoming more and more ap-
parent and the Republicans who
slept during the last campaign, or
who voted for Lind because he was
"a good man. had better wake up.
There is another row in the Dem
ocratic camp which threatens to
assume gigantic proportions. Gov.
Lind has removed J. S. O'Brien as
member of the State Prison Board
and has appointed in his place Dav-
id Bronson of Saltwater. O'Brien
refused to accept his walking papers
and will probably go into the courts
to test whether the governor has
any right to remove him. Gov.
Lind's side of the story is that
O'Brien, who was candidate for
surveyor general Of logs and lum-
Der for the Saltwater district, had
told the governor that in the event
he was not appointed, they could
not work together in managing
the affairs of the Prison Board.
Gov. Lind claims that this was i'm
proper and that O'Brien is not fit
for the office. Mr.. O'Brien denies
the charges of the governor in toto,
and is, according to reports. getting
ready to make matters interesting
for Lind. O'Brien has been gold
Democrat, so his standing in the
Lind camp is not very high, but he
has many friends who will back
him in his efforts to retain his place
in spite of the governor. Many of
Mr.. Lind's adherents believe the
governor has acted too hastily and
that he made a mistake when he
charged O'Brien with improper
motives.
Israll Bergstrom, who during
the past few campaigns has done
some remarkable work for the Re
publican ticket, and who was re-
warded for his services in a meas
ure by being elected chief clerk Of
the house, is filing his new posi-
ton admirably and to the satisfac-
ton of all.
A few of Lind's blunders:
Recommending that fee Offices
should be placed on salaried basis
and emitting his own private secre-
tary, whose income is about s., OO(
per annum.
Recommending that creamery
supplies should be made at the
State Prison when all dairy sup
plies in use are patented.
Recommending the publishing Of
text books to the State Reformatory
when there is but one printer in
the whole Reformatory and the

never swore and never washed with
soap-he used sand instead-nor
wore a white shirt or glove.
Though he never entereda church
he built one, and when asked to
give 800 for lightning rods Tyson
replied: "That I will not. I have
given a church to Almighty God,
and if He can't take care of it he
doesn't deserve to have it.
Tyson was seventy -one when he
died, bachelor worth $25, 900, 900,
the richest of all Australians.
Sometimes in his old age he would
speak of his life philosophically.
Then he would say, as if musing,
with long pauses between his sen
fences, as usual with one who talks
but seldom:

Importance of His Work and the Great
 Watchfulness Needed.
 It Is interesting 10 watch the trained car inspector examining long freight train which has rolled into the yards. He moves along the side of the cars and notes all the wheels, brakebeams, bolsters, rods &c He uses no hammer, but has his eyes open for defects. He will stop suddenly, look carefully at a wheel, and follow the faint lines of a crack running, perhaps, from the f1ange to the center. Such a wheel is cen demned at once, and the car is Shunted off until a new pair of wheels can be placed under it. If there Is flat place on a wheel which measures more than two and one-half inches across that wheel must go, too. Then there may be sharp fange, and that must be looked after, A coupling may have faults, brake rigging may have given out, and all these things the, inspector must take note of.
 He must be an honest man. as thou sands of dollars worth of property and many lives might be sacrificed in case hem neglected something. Box-car

It may be hanging In place in the year, but when it reaches point where a strong wind catches it, cut it goes, and the passing train strikes it. In such cases there is a shower of splinters, broken cab, and it is lucky indeed if there is no one killed. Engineers have dread of loose doors and are always glad when freight train is past them when they are running at full speed. Another thing the inspector must watch is the hopper bottom dump car.
