Among the full-page pictures particularly
interesting series is the collection of etchings
of places and scenes which are remembered

Dickenss life and stories.

It is edited by Richard Garnett, LII. D.
He has written a general Introduction. in
which he treats Of the character of Dickens's
genius and the source and substance of his
inspiration. This is a powerful but temperate
essay. II analyzes Dickens's work and ana

LOOKED UPON As 4 JOKE
LITTLE STOCK TAKEN BY CITY
OFFICIALS IN REPUBLICANS
PROPOSED COUP
STILL DRAW THEIR SALARIES
And They Expect to Continue to Do
So, as WAS Intended by the
Voters Of the
City.

That much-vaunted effort to overthrow
the present Democratic administration
by means of a supposed flaw in the city
charter, to which the morning Repub-
hcan organ devoted two columns yester
day, is considered by city officials gen
orally as a joke.
Mayor Smith, City Treasurer Bremer
and others indicate their intention, how
ever, to meet any proceedings in the
courts that may be projected by the
schemers promptly and decisively..
1t is the theory of the Republicans
that, briefly stated, men elected under the
old charter could not be inaugurated I'M
der the new charter, which took effect
between their election and the begin
ming of their terms of Office.
The court procedure planned, that of
having NJ. J. Bell contest the right of
his successor, M. J. Moriarty, to a seat
in the council is matter of such mag
nitude, to the community generally, that
it is felt that the supreme court will re-
gard the manifest intent of the people
as superior to the personal interests Of
some Republican politicians who find it
hard to make a living out Of Office.
The scheme is not fathered by Mayor
Kiefer, who would be it's most conspicu-
Gus beneficiary, and he has signif1ed no
disposition to have anything to do
with it..
An effort was made yesterday to get
the opinion of Judge Gallick on the point
raised, but without success.

II My Be BROUGHT HERE
PROPOSAL TO BRING HERMANN
MONUMENT TO MINNEHAHA
PARK
PRESENT LOCATION TOO REMOTE
Citizens of New UIm Will object,
but the Order at Large VIII
Probably Approve the
Scheme.

The magnificent and stately monument
of Hermann, erected by the Sons of
Hermann of the United States at New
Uin1, aid which was SO successfully dedi-
Gated in that city Sept. 26, 1877, may be
removed to the Twin Cities.
The lodges of the Sons of Hermann
OF st. Paul and Minneapolis, as well as
those throughout the states, have dis
cussed the question for some time and
the movement viii probably take definite
shape during the next few months. In
speaking of the matter last evening, sew
eral members of the ST Paul lodges ad-
vocated the idea Of removing it to Mil
nehaha park, midway between The TWO
cities and point of easy access to all
who may visit the Northwest. The
statement was made that, located at
New Ulm its nagnifcence and beauty
were lost and hardly appreciated, and it
was seen bat by few visitors from other
states and cities, who would hardly feel
like taking a trip to New Tin simply
for this purpose, while, If located at
Minnehaha park, it would be seen by
every visitor TO the Northwest, as they
would naturally have to come to the
Twin Cities anyway, and that at its
present location 1t would hardly be seen
by one out of fifty Of the strangers who
come to our gates. While the question
is now simply being discussed, the me1n-
bers of the order about town say that
the project will undoubtedly meet With
the approval of a sufficient number of
the members to bring it to a successful
end. Minnehaha park would certainly
be a splendid location and the nonu-
ment in all it's glory and sple1dor would,
be an addition to his beautiful spot that
would attract any visitor coming TO st
Paul or Minneapolis.
The monument was built at New OliE
by the Sons of Hermann of the United
States and was dedicated at the annual
session of the national body at that
place, Sunday, Sept. 26, 1897. 1t was
built in commemoradon Of Hermann,
from whom the Sons of Hermann take
their title and who in the first century
freed the Germans from the tyranny Of
the Romans and defeated Varus, their
leader. The day of the celebration was
a great day for New Ulm, the city being
filed with hosts of visitors from abroad,
and practically all the Germans of ST.
Paul, Minneapolis and the state at
large
OF course, it is expected New UIm VIII
make a strong fight against the removal
of the monument, but the order general
ly may possibly overcome their objec-
lions and receive the consent of it's
citizens, especially when it is taken into
consideration that the monument will
thus receive so much attention, which
will be of incalculable value to the or

MinnesOta's Soil Is Adapted for
Growing q Good. Quality.
L. L. WheeIock, state inspector of the
sugar beet industry at the st. Louis
Park factory, has submitted his annual
report to State Auditor Dunn.
According to the report during the sea-
son of 1900, the factory received from the
farmers of the state %, 341, ISL pounds of
sugar beets Iowa furnished 1892, 1928
pounds, and Wisconsin 1926. SO.
The factory manufactured from the
Minnesota beets 1885,, 1856 pounds Of sugar,
from the beets furnished by the neigh
boring states. This is 1888, 462 pounds
The factory was in operation seventy-fiYe
days.
The inspector says in a special re-
port to the auditor that he is firmly con-
WINGED that the beet sugar industry has a
great future in this state. AS good q
quality of beets can be grown throughout
Minnesota as almost anywhere in the
country, because of the soil and the Gil
experience that the cut over pine and
hard wood timber lands in the northern
and central portions of the state will
produce the finest quality of beets.
There have been many inquiries from
people all over the state relative to the
every county in the state. The growth
of the industry in this state is fully
shown by the fact that in 1888 the factory
received q, 100000 pounds of beets, and in
contracted for 1900 to FURNISH 81, 900 600
pounds, and the shortage of about 4,GOO, 900
