A Chapter Worth Reading.

The following article from The Verdict, Per
ry Benont's paper, is a clear, concise state
ment of McKinley's 6nanciering. After read
ing it, you will not wonder that Mac went
broke, and had to get Hanna aud few other
oapltaisto politicians to buy up the claims
against him; that is, if he conducted his pri-
vate affa rs as he does public affairs. This ar
ticle is a good thing to file away for future

An autopsy was held yesterday on the
remains of Louis Bierman, who died on
Friday, after being struck on the jaw
by Henry E. Jones of St Paul. The ex-
animation showed a clot of blood at
the base of the brain in the region Of
the medulla oblongata, from which
death resulted. Whether this clot ex-
listed before the blow or not is not fully
established, but the facts point strongly
to such conclusion. In fact, the opin-
ion is expressed that the slight blow
inflicted by Jones only caused the clot
to consummate its due effect and cause
apopleXy. This belief is further cor
roborated by the fact that the man had
been for several hours drinking heavily.
The brain was removed from the skull
by DR.. Erdmann, and will be hardened
in alcohol after which it will be ex-
amined throughout for further evidences
of conclusion. If an extensive lesion is
found in the cerebelIum or upper brain,
or the organ is crushed in any way, the
theory of apoplexy will be overthrown,
but it is now thought that Jones will
be exonerated from the charge of being
the first and entire cause of the mans
death

MEN ARE IN GREAT DEMAND

Attempts Suicide, but Cut Down
in Time to Save His Life = The
News of the Northwest.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 5.-That section of
the great corn and wheat belt formed
by Northwestern Iowa, Northwestern Ne
braska, Southwestern Minnesota and
Southwestern South Dakota is witnessing
the extraordinary spectacle of hundreds
of men and women working in the har-
vest fields to save the small grain. Such
a sight was never seen there before. Men
and even boys are offered 81 day, but
cannot be had. The scarcity of men is
due to the pressure of railroad building
going on in the North and West,
On account of the recent heavy rains
and windstorms, necessitating restocking
and rushing the work TO save from blight,
all hands have had to turn into fields
through those parts. 1t is the wettest
harvest since 1888. Since cutting began a
week ago three tornadoes have swept
that section and rain has fallen in tor
rents When the harvesters went into
the fields the splendid stands of grain
promised one Of the biggest small grain
crops ever produced. Now the farmers
will be glad to save half crop. This
is especially true in the vicinity Of Lee
mars, To-, For radius of seventy-fve
miles around Lemars the most sanguine
estimate for wheat is ten bushels to the
acre. In some sections rot and half-f1lled
ears are complained of, but the greatest
loss is entailed by the lodging of the
stalks. Whole fields are matted and beaten
into the ground beyond recovery. Corn
has been loosened sections where the
storms have been most violent, but on
the whole it still promises a splendid
crop Harvesting of the small grain is
half over and will be finished by Aug. 10.

EQUALIZERS ADJOURN.
Work for the Year Completed by the
Minneapolis Board.

The Minneapolis board of equalization
adjourned yesterday without day." and
the last act of Assessor Forts relation
to the body was to present each of the
five aldermen a check for $95 for nine
teen days work.
The Waldorf flats at Park and
Eighteenth street were increased in valu-
alton from $4,000 to $45, 600, and the new
building of the Northwestern Mantel
Manufacturing company was raised from
$4,000 to $4,000. 1t was found that the
assessment against the International
Electric company was incorrectly record
ed at $4,000, when it should have been
$25 900, and a correction was ordered. The
following reductions were made for the
purpose of equalization: Minneapolis
Dry Goods company from $4,000 to $751;
500; Bardwell-RobinsO company from
$25, 600 to $4,000 on machinery; New
Market company from $2,075 to $500.
The assessment against Alderman Sibley
for lumber was reduced to $500 to cor
respond with the prevailing lumber rate.
AS the closing ceremony the minutes
were approved, and those who have not
appeared before the board are now de-
prived of redress.

TRACKS TORN UP.
Citizens of Pontiac, Mich, Enforce
Their Own Law.

Citizens of Pontiac, Mich, Enforce
Their Own Law.
PONTIAC, Mich, Aug. 5.-The tracks of
the Sylvan Lake Street Railway company
on Saginaw street, the main thoroughfare
of the city, were torn up early today by
a gang of men from Detroit. The latter
are understood to have been employed by
aldermen and other citizens. The streets
were crowded soon after 1 a. m, by peo-
pie called out by continued blowing Of
steam whistles. The cause for !ndigna-
ton against the company is the fact that
the railway company opposesthe paving or
the street and has enjoined the city from
proceeding Herewith.
The work of demolition continued until
the entire east track was disabled by
three gangs of men working at as many
different points. They were cheered and
otherwise encouraged by more than 1000
people gathered along Saginaw street.
The excitement was intensified by firing
an old cannon hauled up and down the
street by a crowd of young men.
Protestations of the street railway peo-
pie were wholly in vain. Finally the COM
panys attorneys procured from Circuit
Judge Smith what purported to be an
injunction. The paper was served by the
sheriff upon Street Commissioner Ward
ell, which caused a temporary stOppage of
tearing I'D of tracks. Counsel for the
city soon learned, however, that what
had been intended to be denial of appli-
cation for an injunction was enormously
made by the clerk into a restraining Or
der. When this was learned the work.
mel started anew and soon had the
east track totally disabled The COM
pany is now operating on one track, with
few cars running.
The Sylvan Lake companys franchise
requires it to pave the streets between its
tracks 1t has, 1t is understood, refused
to do this, unless other new concessions
are made.
