Some very sensational developments are
expected within the next few days in
connection with certain Investigations
now being made with regard to alleged
pension frauds by which Uncle Sam has
been cheated out of large sums of money.
These frauds have to do with veterans
of the War of the Rebellion their widows
and orphans, and it is said that quite a
number of instances wherein the govern
ment has been swindled have been I'M
earthed.
Recently a special agent OF the pension
department has been at work on the
cases, and it is expected that his report
will be sent to Washington within the
next few days. His work. of course, has
been conducted with the utmost secrecy.
and while nothing can be given out for
publication, 1t is understood that 1t en-
braces several cases where the applicants
were not wounded or otherwise disabled
but at the same time they have been
drawing good, fat pensions.
In some instances where the original
applicants have died their widows and
children have drawn pensions to which
they were NOT ehLtleu' W. - Minis

GREAT PROFITS FOR BROKERS
Toronto Syndicate Has an Option on
the Largest Open Deal-Heavy De-

of Lake SuDerfor-Much of 1t Is
Being Bought flor. an Invest
ment.

DULUTH. Mimi, DEC 25.-saFes in pine
lands amounting to millions of dollars
have been closed within a. few weeks, and
options representing as much more are
now held pending examination. There Is
no class of men here making greater pro-
fits than the pine land brokers.
Most of the deals now under way are
along the north shore of, Lake Superior,
and in territory tributary to Canadian
mills, though there are constant and con-
siderable sales in all parts of the district
The biggest of the lot is one for $50, 600, 600
feet, possibly more lying north of Tower
and owned by Messrs.a Daniels, of Rhine
lander; Putnam, of Eau Claire, and Du-
luth men, which is optioned to Toronto
syndicate for 81, 800, co., In southern Lake
county, near Two Harbors, there is an
option out for 1000 on a tract of timber
IL. unsurveyed township q, section s,
where estimates show 2O.OpO0OO feet, the
figure being ST a thousand feet.
This option Is held by the Merrill &
Ring Lumber company, that few weeks
ago bought the 1870 100000 feet of the Graf
wick, Smith & Fryer timber, and other
tracts adjoining to the south. Culligan &
Doy.e, OF Alpena, are the owners of this
timber, which they secured a month ago
by forest reserve scrip. 1t is said the
land cost them less than $4,000. Mitchell
& Mcclure have bought a small tract,
some 100000 feet. close by this, from the
Knight & Villas purchase Of 200000,00 feet,
the lands lying more convenient for them
than for Knight & Was. This small pur-
chase has proba bly, given rise to the re-
port, printed from Ashland, that the lat
ter were to sell their whole bunch Of Lake
county timber.
Another heavy option now out, Is for
the sum of 500. OOO and is for a large
block of timber located along the line
between ST. Louis and Lake counties,
near where the Richardson & Avery log

HALF A TON OF CANDY
Distributed TO the Poor Children of
Minneapolis at "New Store

Distributed to the Poor children OF
Minneapolis at "New Store
A half ton of candy was distributed to
1900 little ones who gathered at the new
store yesterday. The occasion was the
annual donation Of toys and other Christ
mas presents by Evans, MunZer, Picker
ing & Co. to a multitude Of the poorer
children of the city, who, II not taken care
of in this manner would have passed
dreary Christmas watching their more
fortunate playmates enjoying the luXuries
of an opulent Santa Claus.
The New Store was to open at 10
o'clock, but no child thought of waiting
until that hour and the vanguard arrived
simultaneously with the clerks. Outside
the windows they stood, vainly attempt
ing TO peer into the recesses that held so
much in store for them.
After they were provided with candy
they were pIloted to the place where toys
innumerable were banked up. The clerks
here made a quick survey of each APP
plicant and used their judgment as to
what would be most acceptable. Dolls
that went to sleep al request were madly
and for the boys there were drums,
horses, and. In fact, everything that
Santa Claus had in stock.
Many of the children received something
more than toys, Mr.. Evans stood to one
side of the ranks as they filed in, and
when he noticed child with an extra
chilly look he cut" him or her out, and
wrapped muffler around the cold neck.

PARIS, Dec. 25.-At a meeting of $500
miners, held today, in ST. Etienne, a res
olutiOn was adopted in favor Of declaring
a general strike in the coal basin of the
Loire tomorrow morning. A sympathy
movement involving $4,000 is feared The
prosperity of the coal trade led the miners
to demand an increase of wages shorter

Miners federation by the companies. The
latter made an offer of per cent in

decision was reached amid cries of "Vive

WATER CURE.
Physician Says He Would Rather

Physician Says He Would Rather
Give Up Drugs Than Water.
Cincinnati Enquirer.
Said a physician not long ago, one who
has grown old and wise in his profession:
I'm coming to believe that if 1 had to
choose in my practice between the use of
drugs and the use of water, I'd give up
the drugs
1t is a truth that is generally accepted
that the efficiency of the various mineral
waters depends far less on the qualities
of the water than on the quantity con-
sumed, and for most Of us water Is free
as air, so there need be no hindrance to a
thorough test of it's virtues. 1t may be
true, as has been charged against us,
that we drink too much. But far more
often is it true that we drink too little
We fail to recognize how much water our
body demands, and our food is bread,
meat and pastry, instead of the fruits
and vegetables that would supply our
needs
