Office. Alfred McCallum, of Duluth,
and J. E. Johnson, of Brainerd,
! were prominent candidates for fac
tory inspector. In theory this ap-
pointment is made by the labor COM
missioner, but the governor, who
appoints the labor commissioner, is
the power behind the throne. Mr.
Johnson was met by an acquaintance
one. day while the appointment was
pending, and the natural query was
regarding his prospects. Mr.. John
son had happy smile on his coun-
tenance, the meaning of which was
more fully explained when he stated
that Lind had said that he would
get the appointment, and could con-
slider himself appointed
At the same time Mr.. McCallum
was telling his friends that he had
already been appointed. Interested
persons interviewed the governor,
and he stated that he had to appoint
McCullum, and this course had
been taken without giving Johnson
any previous notice. The political
barometer in the governors office
began to show symptoms of an APP
preaching cyclone, and it was plain
something had to be done. So Mr..
Johnson was given the high office of
night Waterman in the capitol to
keep him and his friends quiet.
Nevertheless there are rumors Of
dissatisfaction, and even Mr.. Lind S
warmest friends cannot approve Of
such a course
Lind's press bureau claims that
many Republicans regret that they
followed Eustfs in his ''Hurrah for
the boys at Manila and other State
issues. The Reform Press
bureau should understand distinctly
that the people of this State, regard
less of party, are proud of their
''boys at Manila. - They have stood
as targets for the bullets of the
enemy, and they have made their
State and country respected the
world over, and they should not be
targets for the sneers OF the so-called
Reform Press.

In the spring the human body needs
assistance to throw off the stagnation
produced by winter diet. AS the
temperature rises under the growing
heat of the suns rays, we feel tired,
half sick and low in spirits, because

So it does in Redwood Falls. Not

since.
The witness was then asked to tes-
tify regarding his knowledge of the
property in controversy and the veins
and ore bodies found beneath the sur
face of the Pennsylvania claim and
having their apexes in the Johnstown.
Mr.. Macfarlane said there were three
veins in particular apeXing toward the
west end of the Johnstown claim. The
first well-defined vein is known as the
north connecting vein. The second is
known as the StLawrence Rarus vein
and passes through the west end line
Of the Johnstown eastward. The third
vein is the Johnstown discovery Vein,
lying still farther south. The witness
described the surface workings, out
groupings and other indications of the
apeXes of the three veins. The apex of
the Rarus vein is shown, at one place,
in a cut made by the Butte, Anaconda
& Pacific railroad. The Rarus has
more than one quartz streak. A tun-
mel has been run north through the
Johnstown portion of the Rarus, the
portal being about 40 feet north of the
south side line of the Rarus and about
Is feet north of the south side line of
the Johnstown. About so feet in the
tunnel drifts have been run east and
still farther in drifts have also been
run on the Johnstown vein. The Rarus
vein passes through the west end lines
of both the RaruS and JohnStOWn
claims and forms a junction with the
north connecting vein and passes east
ward through the entire length of both
claims, passing out at the east end line
of the Rarus and at the southeast cor
ner of the Johnstown. The vein also
divides and spreads east of the juno
ton and branches of it pass to the
southeast The witness explained his
model of the mine workings which, ac-
cording to his testimony, showed con-
tinuous ore connections from the apsxes
clear down to the SO0-foot level. During
| Mr.. Macfarlane's explanation Mr.. Pat

as a criterion the sport promises to be-
come a popular and favorite one among

duce it to $4,000, and the court ap-
proved a sale of the entire stock to the

strength of this purchase the Utah

ton of the Butte house of J. H. Leyson

be seen that they are in a position to
make a special sale of jewelry that is
sure to prove the most remarkable

dising. 1t will require several days to

In every section the hurricane de- stroyed all the towns and villages. The people whose homes were wreck ed are wandering about seeking food and shelter.
 h the towns the stench of the de- caying bodies under the ruins of houses and public buildings is al most unbearaole. Ia Yabucoa both of the government physicians were caught in the wreckage and wound ed. The town will be set on fire in order that an epidemic may be avoided.
 Dr. Altman of Areceioo writes tbat up to August l3 10 assistance Of any kind had reached there. There IS an almost unbearable stench and unless aid comes within a few days he declares there must follow a fearful epidemic.
 It is certain that there are many bodies lying in state of petrefae- tion under the ruins, but it is impos- sible to find laborers to clean up the town. Reports from Nagausoo, Cerrozzala, Aguada, Comeiro and Guayanilla that these towns have been destroyed and that the munich nali,ies are without tle means to relieve distress. The captain Of an incoming steamer reports that If teen miles of San Juan and drifting shoreward there are innumeraoie hodies of human beings and cattle, mingled indiscriminately with the wreckage of houses.
