sun Between SON AND MOTHER
Decided in The Mothers Favor The
contrOversywas over small farm.

The state supreme court
handed downa decision Saturday, af-
firming the Judgment OF the circuit
court In the case OF Myers VS.. Myers.
This case was a controversy between
Jefferson Myers and his mother, Mrs.
Laura Myers, widow of John c. Myers.
During hislife time John c. Myers
was prosperous farmer and purchas-
ed the farm on Coburn's creek now
owned by NJ, W. Smith. When Mr..
Myers died part OF the purchase
money was still unpaid. The farm
was sold and considerable money went
to the widowand children. She acted
as guardian for the-children and set
tied with allof them except Jefferson,
whom she claims to have overpaid. In
the meantime she bought Il small
farm at Jaryisville in the oil regions.
Jefferson claimed his mother had
purchased the farm with his money
and the suit was instituted to recover
the farm. The circuit court decided
the farm belonged to Mrs. Myers and
the supreme court sustains that decis-
ion. There is one small oil we'll on
the farm.

BISHOP DoNAHuE's LECTURE
On my Trip to Europe was a
Happy, Pleasing and Instructive
Address.

The Right Reverend Bishop Dona-
hue addressed our people at the Grand,
Monday night. Col. Ben Wilson in
few happy remarks introduced him to
the audience.
Bishop Donahue's lecture was based
upon pilgrimage to Rome last spring
where he made the report of his do
cese and was favored by an audience
with the Pope. On thislourney he visit
ed many places of historical interest.
In bis lecture he detailed his trip
across the ocean and his arrival at
Genoa, and waxed eloquent in describ-
ing the beauties of Naples. He grew
philosophical in relating his journey
by rail from Naples to Rome, and de-
plored the conditions which imposed
the burden OF toll in the fields of wo-
men. Many girls of tender years were
forced to earn a livingby manual labor
in the fields, such as laboring with
rude mattocks, and, he was sorry to
say, similar conditions prevailed In
England. He declared America the
paradise of women and here the high
est chivalry obtains He eulogized
s'the land of the free ond the home of
the brave" and lauded our institu-
tions to the skies, making them super
lativeto the institutions of all other
countries, where handicaps prevailed
beyond number. His outbursts Of
patriotism were greeted with great
enthusiasm.
Special interest was taken in the
bishops recital of his audience with
the Pope, and the services during Holy
week among the half thousand
Catholic churches in Rome. He re-
sorted to Byron to picture the charms
of Rome.
The bishop was at his best and his
natural vein of humor was brought
into elective and pleasing play, pro
voking much laughter and loudest
applause.

A YOUNG HEIREss FOUND
For The Tyson Millions in Australia.
She Lives in California.

Some months ago the Telegram
published an article concerning a
$40, OOo. 900 estate In Australia, left by
james Tyson, mold bachelor, and
told Of the search for his heirs. 1t
was thought ut the time that At
torney II. Z. Tyson, of this city, was
among them and he began to trace
his lineage. But IT. now becomes
evident that he will not share in the
distribution Of the estate, as a direct
descendant has been found in Cali
fornia. That heir is a young lady,
Miss Elsie Tyson, living in proverty
in a remote county The heircss
Of these millions was clad in calico
dress and out feeding chickens, when
she was apprised by a stranger of the
great, good fortune that had befallen
her but she finished feeding the fowls
before she stopped to consider her
fortunate lot. Millionaire Tyson was
born in Argyle, Scotland, and by
means of yellow, time-stained letters
found in an old iron box among his
personal effects, Tyson's lawyers
traced him to his birthplace and
there discovered that all Of the
family had died without issue except
his brother Thomas, whose only living
child, Miss Elsie, an orphan, and she
was traced to California.
Mr.. II. f. Tyson's many friends
will be greatly disappointed that hcis
not to share In this vast estate.

Several Comments and sugges-
tons by our Friend w. M.
Morris, ofMt. Clare.

ness Of our worthy townsman VIM. l.

ach trouble, and brights disease.
Mrs. j. T. Coffman is also in poor
health. :,
VIM. Whyte, miner, is seriously Ill
withpneumonia.
For the last twelvemonths a speak
easy" and gambling joint" has been
operated at this place to the great an
noyance and moral detriment of this
community.
This beesom of destruction and bane
of society had become so intoleraole TO
the better class of people, that two OF
more meetings were had to formulate
plan to uproot the nefarious business,
hut before they had taken any action
some of their patrons had become so
disguised with the cnormity OF the
evil, as to swear out warrants for the
proprletors. True, Mr.. Weekly has
skipped and evaded the law for the
present, but the rancho" is broken
nm and the goods in stock have been
moved to other quarters. Meantime,
Constable Sullivan has been around
distributing free tickets to the grand
Jury concert to be held at the court
house in May. This would indicate
that some of our influential ~ citl-
zens, who have been spending much Of
their time and money at this veritable
h-ll, may yet be brought to justice for
very grave ofrense against the laws OF
state. We will at least hope that we
will have less quarreling and fighting
among our drinking class in the
future.
Well. as we are on the verge OF an
other great political campaign, permit
me to make a few suggestions, which
If notheeded now, will at least be
worth thinking over little. l am
aware that / often make suggestions
thata are opposed at the time, even by
some Of my best friends, but ] have
the satisfaction in locking back over
my past political career, to know that
/ have never had to recede from any
position l have taken in advance OF
someof my ~ friends.
/ have observed in the last few cam
paigns that the people become unduly
excited, and even, uncomfortable IN
our political meetings where our de-
alterations should be calm and tem-
peratc, to insure satisfactory results.
Now in this campaign let US be calm
and sober minded. Let every Repub-
lican attend the district primary
meetings when called by the chairman
to select delegates to the various
nominating conventions.
Take "a part in the selection of dele
gates. Let them be chosen without
regard to the candidate they will sup
mort, then take poll Of all the Re
publican votes present, as to their
choice OF candidates, and instruct the
delegates to divide their vote so as 10
give each candidaee the per cent OF
the vote they receivedi in the fall. Let
this rule apply to all the meetings,
State, Congressional and county.
This is the only way the nominal
tions will be made by the people, In
stead Of the machine.
Machinery is all right in the per-
Torrance OF manual labor, but can
hardly believe the people are willing
To surrender the elective franchise, and
allow the machine to do their voting.

rights In the convention, don't think

THE DEMOCRATIC STATE CoNvEN-
TT0N

Never has the Democracy Of Minnesota
presented more imposing appearance
than it did at the state convention of the
party ,,eld in the st. Paul Auditorium
yesterday. The LAO delegates present in
cluded the best representative citizens
from every county in the state, and, in
point of Intelligence, the body of Demo-
Gratis present would compare favorably
with any similar gathering heretofore
held in any state in the Union
Compared with the noisy. disorganized
crowd which constituted the recent Re
publican state convention, the Democratic
state convention afforded pleasing and
instructive contrast.
Gov John Lind was renominated by ac-
clamation, as was expected, and his able
and conscientious administration of the
states affairs during the past two years
received a splendid and a deserved in
dorsement. There was no hesitation on
the part of the convention in choosing
him once more as the standard bearer of
the party, and the vigorous enthusiasm
displayed in his denomination is in itself
an augur of success at the polls
Between the Democratic and Populist
parties, fusion on the state and national
tickets was perfected in the most har-
nonious manner, and in a spirit of per
feet fairness on the part of each. The
denomination of Jo-l Lind was the de-
sire of both parties, and the division of
places on the ticket was made by the
.PopuIists being given the lieutenant gov
ernorship, two railroad and warehouse
commissionerships and four of the presi-
Dental electors, one being a. elector-at-
large.
To the Democratic convention was al
lotted the duty of nominating candidates
for state treasurer, secretary of state,
attorney general, one candidate for rail-
road commissioner, chief justice and as
sociate justice of the supreme court and
five of the presidential electors. The
manner in which this duty was perform

flnaf passage Why could he not vote
for it? What was there wrong with the
measure, and if there was something
wrong with it. why did he not either try
to amend it or vote against it? 1t would
have been wiser and more manly than
to have lodged the vote, as he did.
What was this act for which Capt Van
SAINT could not, and against which he
dared not vote? It is embodied today in
the laws of the state as chapter % OF
the General Laws for 1898. Ii is entitled
AN act declaring it "a rnisdemeanor on
the part of employers to require as a
condition of employment the surrender
of any right of citizenship
1t provides that 1t; shall be a INSIDE
meanor for any employer, corporate or
otherwise, to require or demand from
any servant or employee the surrender or
abandonment ID or any agreement to aban-
don any lawful right or privilege of cit
izenship, public or private, political or
social moral or religious.
The object of the bill was, primarily, to
protect organized labor, and TO guarantee
to employees the right to organize with
out any Interference from their employ
ers
Why should any member of the legisla-
ture dodge the vote on such measure2
If he was friendly to organized labor and
wished to see employees protected in their
right to join and organize labor unions,
he could vote for the bill with pleasure
and clear conscience If he wished the
employers to have the power to prevent
or restrain their employees from joining
labor organizations, he could have voted
against the bill. But there was no valid
reason or excuse for refusing to vote on
the measure, one>way or the other. Yet
that is exactly what Capt. Van SAINT did.
If the captain can explain why he dodg-
ed the vote On House File IS In 1S9s-if
he can advance one sound reason why it
was for the interest of the employe or
the employer that he evaded the vote, it
is a most appropriate time now for Capt.
Van SAINT to speak
If ne expects the working people, who
regarded the bill with favor, to vote for
him this fall, the captain should now tell
why he lodged the vote
II he expects those employers who did
not favor the BILL to vote for him this
fail, the captain should now tell why he
lodged the vote upon it,

A TANGIBLE BENEFIT FOR FARM
EDS


Owing to the action of the present rail-
road and warehouse commission, the 10000
farmers of the Second congressional dis
trict will save $685. 2-9 each on the ex-
pense of moving their crops this year, as
compared with the expense of previous
years.
Since Gov. Lind has been chief eNecu-
tive officer of the state, the railroad and
him have secured for the farmers of the
southern and southwestern counties a re-
duction in the railroad rates for the
transportation of grain, which, in the ag-
gregate, will amount to 100000 in this
seasons crop alone.
The reduction applies to 172 stations on
the six railroads which run through the
eighteen counties of the Second congress
sional district, and four adjoining coun-
ties, namely on the Hastings & Dakota
railroad, the Minneapolis & ST Louis rail-
road, the Chicago & North Western rail-
way, the Chicago. st. Paul, Minneapolis
& Omaha railway the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul railway, the Willmar &
Sioux Falls branch of the Great North
ern and on the Burlington railroad.
The cost of grain freight rates in this
district is reduced AZ cents on f1axseed;
cents on wheat, and 2 cents on coarse
grains. ne reduction required by the
state commission is from local points to
the Minnesota terminal markets at Min
neapolis and Duluth, and the railroads
have been compelled thereby to make
corresponding reduction in their Chicago
rates SO that the advantage is extended
to all markets to which the grain of
Southwestern Minnesota is shipped.
This is something tangible for the farm
ers and shippers of grain to consider It
is the first time in the history OF the
state that the railroad and warehouse
commissioners have of their own vo!ition
taken up the subject of rate reduction.
Previous to Gov. Lind's adninistra ton,
the commission only moved in the mat
ter of rate reduction when forced to do
so by the filing of complaints by ship
pers. And it must be remembered that
it was not until January, 1900, that Gov
Lind was able to reorganize the commits
sion in rmony with his own ideas. Four
months later the commissioners had eff
fected his reform in railroad grain rates
which, as before stated, will save the
farmers and shippers 100000 on this
years crop.
