from the Middle Fork where they
were doing some mining. They re-

80 per cent lead and 30 ounces in
silver. They are much encouraged
with their showing and think the
district is all right. ]. l.. Neihart

Claus Blixt, the tool of Harry Hay
ward in the murder of Miss Cling, has
filed an application for full pardon.
He claims that he was drugged by Hay
ward and SO led to commit the crime,
otherwise he would not have done it,
and hence is snot guilty of murder,
There is doubtless considerable truth in
Blixts assertions. especially as to the
dragging Hayward gave him plenty
of whiskey, and it would not be at all
surprising if it was more or less doctor.

the board of pardons will liberate him
yet or not. They will probably con
clude that the best place for him for
some time yet is behind prison bars.

Cheeky PROCEEDING.
A Map Drawing Agent Takes Advantage
of C0urtesies Extended.

Superintendent Uline is indignant
over the advantage taken of his good
nature Tuesday by Mr.. MEME, who
is agent for device for map drawing.
The agen; desired permission to illus
trate it's use to teachers and pupils
above the fourth grade. With the I'M
derstanding that he was to do nothing
but show how the device is used. Mr.
Uline instructed the principals of build.
ings in a short note to give him not
more that five minutes time in such
rooms as they might find desirable or
convenient. Mr.. Uline states that he
was partly induced to do'this by reason
of the facts that the superintendent of
the Minneapolis, Duluth. Winona and
Saltwater schools had given Mr.
MEME similar privileges, He states
that few of the many agents that come
to him obtain a hearing, for he is con-
stantly on his guard to prevent the use
of the schools as an advertising
medium.
Mr.. MEME succeeded in selling a
number of his devices at twenty-five
cents each, thereby using the superin-
tendent's letter to help him in his bust.
ness. 1t seems unnecessary to say that
the selling of this device was against
any intention or with the knowledge of
Mr.. Uline, or that of the principals of
the schools.

( W. L. Comstock returned Tuesday
from st. Paul, where he appeared be-
fore Judge Lochren in the interest OF
his clients, the Brundin Bros. of Albert
Lea. He secured an order to show
cause why the $57, 900 worth, oflproperty
attached by the sheriff and siezed by
the u. s. marshal and now in the lat.
ter's hands should not be restored to
the firm, returnable Saturday at 10
o'clock. He also secured an order to
show cause why the verdict of the jury
in favor of Brundin Bros. should not be
merged into final decree and Judg'
ment for the costs and disbursements,
amounting to 81, 500. rendered against
the petitioners who sought to have the
firm declared bankrupt. He also So
cured an order to show cause why the
temporary injunction restraining the
execution of judgments in the district
courts should not be made permanent
pending the final determination of the
bankruptcy court. Both of these orders
are made returnable Saturday at II
o'clock, at st. Paul.
Mr. Comstock is preparing suits fol
damages against the petitioners, but
these have not yet been served.
The bankruptcy proceeding is the
first of it's kind before Judge Lochren.

If Judge Collins is the strong minded
man he is reputed to be he will not
give up a certainty for an uncertainty
a pleasant, dignifed non-partisan posi-
tion on the supreme bench for the sake
of getting head over heels into politics,
and all of its attendant aftermath. Left
to himself it is not difficult to predict
that the Judge would have nothing OF
the gubernatorial squabble that many
of his friends seem determined to draw
him into; There seems to be no mo
mentous reason why Mr.. Collins should
resign his position to which he was
called by an overwhelming majority of
the people of Minnesota, and turn it
over to Demo Pop through the power
of Demo Pop governor. This he must
do if he concludes to enter the race for
governor, with the result that he loses
the one and may not gain the other
Judge Collins can serve his friends best
and his party most by declining to be
come a gubernatorial candidate, and al
low the Republican convention to re.
nominate him as his own successor on
the bench This action would result in
harmony with big "H" for the Repub.
ican party.

THE GAIN IN THE MONEY VOL
.r TJME

The gain in circulation of the money
volume of the country for the month of
November was $22,2t4,9 SIC A gain of
two thirds of that amount during the
month of December will place the total
circulation at the beginning of the
new year beyond the 1000, 900, 900
mark for the first time in the history
of the country. The Sioux City Jour-
nal in reviewing the growth of our
money volume says: "On Jan. 1, 1880,
the total circulation was S942, 452, 459.
which. compared with the present fig
ures, will show an increase of more
than 100 per cent. during the twenty
year period. While the growth has
been steady during the entire time,
that shown for the past three years
has been particularly marked. On
July L, lC0O, OuO OOU1i uOuCy LII Cl1Su-
lation in the United States was 81, $685.
1885, 900, and on Dec. 1, 1899. $685.
$50, 1854, an increase during three and
one-half years of $476, 2O5, 764, or BIZ
per cent, while the gold coin and GER
tifcates increased from $49S, 449, 242 to
$779, 1888, 303, an increase of S279, 939, 061,
or Sc per cent" There is not much in
this that will he pleasing to Col. w.
J. Bryan, for it entirely demolishes
his predictions. An increase of 314 per
cent. in the face of his declaration that
if free coinage of silver was defeated
it meant the contraction of our money
volume, is a decided slap in the face.
It demonstrates fully the wisdom of
the people in the election of 1895 and
will admonish them to be careful how
they depart from the honest finance
next year. Wild and tiat money ideas
have received a hard blow, and with
the passage of the financial measure
now before congress, a long step will
BIZ taken in heright direction and the
placing of financial ideas in this
country upon healthier basis.

There is a rumor in railroad circles
that trains will not run before next

be very great during the winter,
and constant repairing would have to
be done.

President Stickney, of the Chicago
Great Western does not confirm the re-
ports which have come from Mankato
during the past few weeks to the effect
that the road would enter the city at
once. Though he admits the possi-
bility that ultimately it would be to the
best interests Of the road to secure bet
ter terminal facilities in Mankato, he
looks upon it in the nature of posi-
bility rather than an immediate reality.
He was induced to make brief state
ment regarding the new north and
south line from st. Cloud to Mankato,
connecting at the former point with
Duluth, which indicates that the Great
Western has no important interest in
its construction.
Regarding the situation at Man
kato, said he, there is little to say. If
our engineers are at work there at
present i5 is rather to secure definite
information concerning the lay of the
ground, than to lay out new tracks in
to the city. Of course it is apparent
that some time the Great Western will
find it to its advantage to enter the
city. Our present depot and freight
yard is too far from the business CEN
