Knocked Out.

The supreme court of the United
States has knocked out the Anderson
law on constitutional grounds. The
Stearns county
The decision is victory for the
Northern Pacific. the St. Paul & Du-
luth and subsidiary lines. but does not
include the Great Northern.
In passing upon the case the court
held that the state had been admitted
to the sisterhood of states under the
usual compact, and that as long as the
title of it's lands remains in the United
States those lands are exempt from
taxation. So far as the land involved
in this case is concerned. it was stated
that it had been granted to the state
by congress and by the state to the
St. Paul & Duluth company Soon
afterwards, the justice continued. the
state had enacted legislation provid-
ing that railroads in the state should
pay per cent on their gross earnings
in lieu of all other taxes upon their
property.
The opinion by Justice Brewer sus-
lation was in the nature of a contract,
which was binding. and which could
not be invalidated. by the act of 1895
seeking to repeal it. The latter act,
therefore. was pronounced repugnant
to the federal constitution. and void
in this respect
Justice Harlan. Gray, Brown. White
and McKenna concurred in the result.
but did not agree with their colleagues
as to the grounds on which the con-
clusion was reached. Justice Brewer
read the decision.
She Was First.
Miss Anna, Holl, of Minneapolis. was
the real thing at the opening up Of the
White Earth Indian reservation at
Croolston. She left the city accom-
panied by her two brothers, all of
when the reservation was thrown
open. When they arrived at Crooks

sition that they were up against,

Miss Holl has taken up this land
with the idea of running ranch of

DIR. Tanners Ideas ON Diet.

DR.. Tanner, who some years ago was
the hero of a fasting feat prolonged for
forty days and nights, is still alive and
well in New York at the age of Il years.
The prediction was made by some med
zeal men that his digestive organs
would be irretrievably injured by his
lengthy abstention from food. and DR..
Tanner prides himself considerably on
the fact that despite these gloomy fore
bodings his health continues good. He
is a strict vegetarian, and thinks that
a man can live comfortably on the mod
est sum of IL cents q day. Much of
the ill-health from which many people
suffer he puts down to the consumption
of pork and badly cooked food. He as
wholly disagrees with the manner in
which hotel and restaurant managers
cater for their patrons, and is of the
opinion that the true idea of cooking is
to retain the natural flavor of the vi
ands, and not as seems to be the aim
of the modern cuisine, to disguise it.

connected with the sale of the New York
custom house site to the National City
Bank and to the disposition made of the
proceeds. By the acts of his predecessors
and the rulings of the Comptroller of the
Treasury he would show that he had
perfect right to deposit the proceeds from
this sale in qualified government deposlto-
ries and that moneys so deposited to the
credit of the treasurer of the United
States are in the treasury, just as much
as though they were actually on deposit
in the vaults at Washington.
The legal prohibition against deposltlng
public funds in bank repositories secured
by government bonds, the Secretary de-
clares, applies only to customs receipts.
This statement Mr.. Gage tries to
strengthen by letters, opinions and mem
oranda showing that for thirty years the
Secretary of the Treasury has exercised
the right conferred upon him by the law
of placing any such part of public re-
ceipts, except customs, as in his dlscre-
ton he might deem best, with duly guam
fed government repositories.
The Secretary calls attention to the
fact that under his management the
Treasury Department has received since
June, 1898, 81, 100, 100000 and distrlbut-
ed it without disturbance to the imam
cial or commercial equilibrium OF the
country.

MARGINAL Notes.

The descendant of New England
Puritan divine has in his possession an
old sermon written by his ancestor
which shows that the preacher did not
trust entirely to the impulse of the
moment when delivering his discourses.
The manuscript is written in a
strange, grabbed hand, and plentifully
besprinkled with marginal references.
''Read slowly here" the minister adj
monishes himself in one spot and ITO
be given out very loud and Clear" is
the suggestion for another passage.
.'Hurry little, with fire. he wrote in
several places.
The most emphatic and important
part of the whole sermon is indicated
by a northumberland marginal note.
After hearing stories of this sanity
oldtime preacher, it is amusing to
know that he deemed it wise and even
necessary at the climax of his elo-
quence to ''Yell like one possessed"

GAGE MAKES REPLY.
TREASuRY'S Head ANSWERS IN.
QUiRiES OF CONGRESS
Gives His Reasons for Placing Public
Moneys in National Banks Says He.
Simply Followed Law and Custom
Set by His Predecessors,

Secretary Gage on Wednesday sent to
Congress his replies to resolutions recent
ly introduced in the Senate by Mr.. Allen
of Nebraska, and in the House by Mr..
SulZer of New York. The text of his
reply, which is an exhaustive exposition
of the management of that branch of the
treasury finances under his adminstra-
ton relating to national bank deposito-
ries, contains about 5000 words, supple
mented by special reports from depart
ment officials relative to special inquiries
in the resolutions, including copies of
over 1000 letters ON the subject under
consideration.
The reply seeks to exonerate the Secre-
tary of the Treasury from every charge
laid at his door, and endeavOrs to show
that he has observed with rigorous fdel-
ity the letter and spirit of the law in the
handling of public moneys placed under
his direction. The history which he gives
of the treasury practice with regard to
the depositing of public moneys when
the vaults become glutted, his friends
say, is information that Congress should
have presented to it every two or three
years.
The Secretary endeavors to be especial
ay clear in his statement of every detail

Jude Swore HIMSELF

Judge Beasley has been justice Of
the peace in a northwest MISSOURI
township for so many years that the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary. A few years ago BeaSley was
personally interested in a lawsuit, be-
ing party thereto. 1t was necessary
for him to make an affidavit, and he
deprecated the idea of making it before
another justice or notary and de-
priving himself of fee. So he filled
out his affidavit, swore to it before him
self, signed it as justice and witness,
and awaited developments. He was
sure that he would win and thus be
able to tax the costs up to the other
side.
When the case came UP before Judge
Kelley the affidavit was offered in evil
dence and promptly objected to, the
reason being given that a justice could
not swear himself.
LET me see the affidavit" said Judge
Kelley.
1t was handed to the Judge, who
scanned it carefully for few moments
and then asked:
''Mr. Beasley, will you kindly tell me
how you appeared before yourself
when you swore yourself and identi-
fed your own signature?"
THAT was very easy, your honor"
replied Beasley. Il borrowed looking
glass and went through the formalities
before it,
