Coal Found Near St. Cloud.

St. Cloud, Mimi, March 29.-There
is. a coal discovery excitement at
Torah, twenty miles west of st
Cloud on the Willmar branch OF the
Great Northern. The fact has found
its way into the Stearns county
court house in the shape of mining
leases for tracts OF land aggregating
$40 acres in the townships OF Munson
and Farming. The lessons are bust
ness men OF TOrah to the number OF
six and the grantors are seven own
ers of farms. The leases cover a
period of forty years and give the
owners of the lands per cent of all
soft coal and 4 per cent of all hard
coal taken from the lands. i. ..E>>

people a great deal Of trouble and an
Enoyanee. 1t seems to be the especial
delight Of some Minneapolis people
to place the stamp on some part Of
the letter where it will he almost i'm
possible for the stamping clerks to
find it. Every Imaginable place is
looked for, some putting the stamps
in the lower left hand corner and
even on the back. These childish
practices have again been so general
that the second assistant postmas-
ter general has, taken occasion to
issue another order to postmasters
to instruct the public that the stamp
should go on the upper right-hand
corner OF the nvelope, and to dis
courage the use OF any other part of
the letter for it ="
The bulletin of the department also
contained an interesting order rela-
tive to the use Of folded cards bear

that cards, wholly in print, folded
with open ends and having the outer
edge sealed with a sticker, in such
manner that the entire inner surface

use OF stamp to serve the double

VI The question as to the difference
between the governmental or legts

its business or proprietary rights
seem to be the point to be decided 10
the caseof the Little Falls Electric
and Water company against the
city Of Little Falls, the arguments
and summary Of which were taken
up iii the court Of equity before
Judge Lochren this morning. The
entire forenoon was consumed with
a presentment by Frank B. Kellogg
Of Minneapolis Of the evidence IN.
troduced at the trial from the plain
tiff's point Of view. 1t is expected
that Mr.. Kellogg's argument to the
court will taken up the entire ses-
sion this afternoon. ID. Il. Calhoun
OF st. Cloud; attorney for the defend
ant, will commence his summary at
the close of Mr.. Kellogg's speech, I'M
less the latter continues until late III
the evening. In that case the cotln-
Gil for the city will open his summary
tomorrow morning.
The case is the most interesting
to municipalities and to corporations
operating under municipalities ever
brought up in the state. The city o.
Little Falls according to the present
ments, has repealed the franchise Of
the Little Falls Electric and Water
company which was granted for Ia
t. rim of thirty years. Only tenyears
of>the time have expired. The action
brought against the city ia to enjoih
the NUT icipalityf ror canceling the
company's franchise. The argp-
ments made by the attorney for the
company this morning were Intended
to show that the company had
built a plant at Little Fails within
the town was small and not very
promising; that at That time the &C..
QUESTION Of fire protection system
did a great deal towards inducing
manufactures to locate there; that
the company has acted entirely by
the direction OF the council since the
franchise was granted, that the sys-
TEN was and is very satisfactory,
and that, in revoking the franchise,
the city does the company ap In
estimable amount of harm. mas,
much as the owners have hardly be-
gun to realize any interest on their
Investments. 1t was argued that
companies OF that size, starting lin
towns where the system was no
larger than that of Little Falls, 81

The court adjourned q little after
noon for luncheon The arguments
of Mr.. Kellogg were taken up again
at ? O'Clock.
