A novel suit was begun in the civil
branch of the municipal court yesterday
by Edward w. Vilett against the barber
college in this city of which D. Moler
is the proprietor The action is one of the
first which, it is understood, will be
brought by w. w. Erwin.
The complaint first refers to the fact
that the Moler system is organized under
the laws of Illinois, and it is alleged that
1t falsely pretends to treat and instruct
pupils in hair cutting, shaving and the
care and treatment of tools. The exis-
tence of the Twin City Barber college, as
conducted and managed by D. Moler in
this city is then cited, and the complain
ant who is from the town of Warner
goes on to say that he is ignorant of the
ways of the city and had no knowledge
of the traps, snares and pitfalls set for
the unwary.
1t is alleged that In July last he was
induced to enter the barber college and
that he was to receive ten weeks instruc-
ton for $50, upon the representation that
the graduates would be furnished with
positions worth at least $50 per month
The complainant asserts that the So
called instruction consisted of about five
minutes in the morning, when the student
Is taught the art of honing a razor and
the mysteries Of shaving, after which he
is left to himself. In conclusion he asks
for SIT damages, which sum he claims TO
have expended

ONTARIo's GOLD OUTPUT.
Donald Keith Says ThereII BE a
Good Rush of Capital Soon.

Donald Keith, a mining expert, with
headquarters at Duluth. was In the city
yesterday and spoke very hopefully Of
the prospects of the Upper Seine country
in Western Ontario from a mining stand
point.
During the past two years." said Mr.
Keith, "over 100000 has been invested
in the mining district. principally by Eng
fish and Canadian capitalists. During
that period about $4,000 worth of bullion
has been taken out.
The Golden Star mine, with a ten
stamp mill, has produced $15O000 in bull
lion and paid $4,000 in dividends. The
management feels that there is enough
ore in sight to warrant putting in another
ten-stamp mill. The Olive mine, which,
with ten stamps, has paid $4,000 in two
years in dividends, is putting in a ffteeII-
stamp mill additional The Golden Cres-
cent, which is a mine developed with
American capital, is producing property,
and the ''Swede Boy" mine with a two
stamp mill, is yielding $4,000 per month.
1.-THE development of the country his
not yet commenced. 1t has been over
Swallowed by the gaIIZy tales that have
come from Alaska. AS soon, however,
as the people begin to appreciate the pos
sibilities Of the Upper Seine, there will
be a rush Of capital in that direction
that will overshadow anything that the
American continent has ever seem"

Sale of Grape Cider Disturbing
Factor Mt Kenyon.

KENYON, MINI, Dec. 16-At the vii
lage election here last March the Anti
Saloon league succeeded in voting out the
saloon and electing a complete coterie of
temperance men to fill the offices. The
administration has been embarra ssed to a
considerable extent through the sale of a
drink called grape cider. Three restau-
rants sell 1T openely as a temperance
drink, and considerable drunkenness has
been the result.
The administration, in order to test the
intoxicant properties of this cider, Sc
cured a warrant for the arrest of Henry
Underdahl. who had sold cider to one J.
G. Eide, who claimed to have been intox-
icated by it. The trial was held and re-
suited in disagreement A new trial is
set for Monday. It is purely a test case,
and its result will determine as to wheth-
or or not grape cider can be sold as a
temperance drink.

man Eddy's Bill.
CROOKSTON MINI. Dec 16.-(special)
Congressman Eddy's bill for a new pub
lie building for Crookston is being watch
ed with interest by Crookston people.
Conditions certainly warrant a new build
ing. Some other cities received nice ap-
preparations last year for federal build
ings that are not much in need of
them as Crookston. The supervising
architect has called for a statement from
the postmaster, receiver and register of
the land office, as to the increase in the
volume Of business. The showing made
by this report will be gratifying, as the
business Of all departments has grown
immensely during the last couple of years.
By reason Of the large amount of fed
eral court business that originates in the
territory adjacent and tributary to
Crookston, the feeling has long OBJ
tanned that the sessions of the federal
court for the Northwestern district of
Minnesota should be held in this city.
Should this attempt to secure a public
building for Crookston be successful. a
move will be made looking to securing at
least alternate sessions of the court here
and at Fergus Falls, and the building will
be planned with that end in view
