No Money Yet Received.

A ST. Paul dispatch states that the
state has yet to receive the first remit
tance for ore mined on lands owned
by the state along the Mesaba and
EermiIion ranges since the first of the
year The mines on state lands I'M
der contract are required to pay a
royalty of % cents per ten on 5000
tons Of ore every year whether mined
or not, if a railroad is located within
one mile Of the property. In the case
OF mines on stale lands on the ranges
shipping facilities are close at hand
but no royalties have been paid the
state except ON the 5000 tons not
mined from each contract.
Mining operations on the two ranges
were never livlier than the present
season, but mining companies are to a
great extent combining their opera
tions to the properties owned in fee
simple CT held under more advantage
eOuS contracts than are obtainable
from the state. Therefore the state
is the temporary loser, despite the
fact of general activity in mining
circles.

Kitty was Insane.

Friday there arrived at Winton a
woman giving her name as Kitty Mel
son, having walked from Two Harbors
on her way to Canada, so she said, to
find recreant lover who had promised
to marry her some time ago but had
failed to show up at the appointed
time. She was pitiable object, her
clothing being bedraggled and torn.
she having walked during the night
and sleeping and picking berries for
sustenance during the day, She was
taken in by Mrs. Chas. Stewart, fed
and clothed and the authorities noti-
fed, Officer Garrison took her to
Duluth Monday where she was exam
lined before Judge of Probate Middle
coff and committed to the Fergus
Falls hospital for the insane. She was
about 80 years of age, of Swedish par
entage and had been employed in Du-
luth as a domestic for about eight

force. Palcher seized his gun and fir
ed shot at the ground near the
drunken crowd which dispersed them
post haste. No sooner had Palcher
again disappeared when the lombard
ment was renewed.
In the meantime Paul Petec, who
resides short distance from Palcher,
hearing the shot came out witch his
wife. Just then Palcher again open
ed the door and fired two shots at the
crowd, missing the mob and hitting
Petec, in both legs. The officers
were called and went down and ex-
amined into the affair. They found
the story as told by Palcher true and
the rocks through the windows and
dents in the side of the house verify
ing his statement. The wounds of the
victim were dressed and his legs found
literally covered with shot holes. A
strange part of the proceeding is that
the officers picked up a hat at the
scene of the shooting which also was
filled with shot holes. So far no sore
head has shown himself. No arrests
were made.

Finnish extraction is a -genins. Louis
was hired by Simon & Segal to manage
their saloon while Mr.. Simon the
regular manager went away on a visit,
during Saturday, Sunday and Mon
day. Simon left $50 in the cash
drawer and when he returned Mon
day night there were only $50 in the
till, besides the cash register recorded
30, some odd, dollars as sales. There
were also missing S27 worth of beer
and nine boxes of cigars. Simon was
not satisfied with the business done
and had his manager arrested. He
was bound over to the grand jury

Many grocers, doubtless, do not know
that the powders they are thus pushing
are alum powders which would be
actually contraband in many sections
if sold without disguise.
1t is quite impossible to give the
names of all the alum baking powders
in the market. They are constantly
appearing in all sorts of disguises, un-
der all kinds of cognomens, and at all
kinds of prices, even as low as five and
ten cents pound. They can be avoid

will bear in mind that all baking pow

pound are liable to contain alum, as

cannot be produced at anything like

Trust Labor Policy.

Sugar Trust Magnate Havemeyer is
fair sample of the trust leaders. He
is no more avaricious than other mon
opolists His methods of dealing with
labor may be taken as indicative of the
way the trusts will use the workers of
the country when industry is thorough
ly organized for the benefit of the few.
10 his testimony before the Indus
trial Commission recently. Mr.. Have
meyer said that the Sugar Trust en-
ployed ''aimost exclusively unskilled.
the lowest kind of labor, getting from
$1.S5 to $3.50 a day-Poles, Bohemi-
ans; the lowest class OF labor in the
country"
OF this class of laborers, the Sugar
Trust employees Sat least 10000 right
around New York. Boston and Phila-
delphia."
These men are worked In 8-hour
shifts in summer and 12-hour shifts in
winter. Mr.. Havemeyer testified that
they do not receive cent more for
working II hours than for working
eight hours. He added that the con-
ditions were such that the trust could
not get any but the lowest workers. 1t
is only because they are the cheapest
to be had, that Poles and Bohemians
are employed.
The trust furnishes these men with
all the beer they can drink, .'at cost"
Mr.. Havemeyer said, but he did not
give the figures to prove that the trust
makes no profit on this beer.
Here we have striking picture OF
trust methods with labor. The trusts
policy is to get the lowest labor TO be
had. The trust would get Chinese.
Hawaiians or Digger Indians i. they
were to be had and could do the work
And in order to guard against ciscon-
tent, the trust will keep them in sod
den condition with cheap liquor.
1t cannot be doubted that these
methods would be universally adopted
by the trusts, could they once get full
control In America. st. Louis p. ID.

A Necklace of Necessity.

Imperialism grows by what it feeds
upon. At the beginning a policy oi
conquest is inconceivable, then it is
not to be thought of, then it is posi-
BILE in some circumstances, then it is
inevitable, then it is necessary; and
the rake's progress closes with a spec
tacular display of national ruffianism.
Eighteen months ago who would
have thought of the President of the
United States as the Emperor of the
Philippine Islands? Such thing was
inconceiVable. Yet William Mckinley
exercises absolute authority over the
archipelago. He is governing the
islands with despotic power as mill
tary ruler.
Emperors feel and resent any re-
straint. The new volunteer army is
to be recruited directly by the Federal
authorities, in order to avoid political
pressure and interference from State
officials. This is probably necessary
from the standpoint of Imperialism.
Armies cannot be rum by debating
society. A military government is es-
sentially consolidated, one man gov
ernment. It would never do to allow
Governors of States to have any inter-
est in the regiments composing such
an army. This is not in harmony
with the principles of American liber-
ty, but Imperialism is impossible with
out such a consolidation.

Names of some of the Principal
Brands sold IN this Vicinity.

The discussion in the newspapers oil
the effect upon the human system from
food made with alum baking powders
and the publication of the emphatic
opinions, from noted scientists that
such powders render the food un-
wholesome, leading to serious disor-
ders of the stomach, liver and heart.
have caused numerous inquiries for
the names of the various alum pow
ders.
Some time ago the health authorities
of st. Louis made an examination OF
the baking powders sold within their
their jurisdiction. The names of the
alum powders then found were report
ed and published. The following list
is made up from this report, from the
reports of the state chemists of Ne
braska and Minnesota, and from other
equally reliable authority.
In Minnesota and Wisconsin of such
Importance do the Food Commissions
deem the matter that the names of the
alum powders sold in each state are
carefully ascertained and published.
Similar publicity in this state would
be in the interest of the public.
BAKING POWDERS CONTAINING ALUM:
BIossnM BGossm Contain Alum

PERFECT Contains Alum.
Perfect Baking Powder Co., St. Louis.
BON BON Contains Alum.
Grant Chemical Co., Chicago.
K.C Contains Alum.

SPOT CASH Contains Alum.
In addition to these, it is learned
that many grocers are selling what
they call their own private or special
brands. These powders are put up
for the grocer and his name put upon
the labels by manufacturers of alum
powders in Chicago, ST. Louis, Kansas
City and elsewhere. The manufao-
turers, 1t is said. find their efforts to
market their goods in this way greatly
aided by the ambition OF the grocer to
