Not Yet Completed, aud Brings up Ques.
ti0ns of Law.
The forfeiture land sale continued
throughout the day in the auditors of.
fee, and may not be concluded before
tomorrow. Only about half dozen
pieces of land were sold Wednesday,
but the bids were numerous. A num-
Der of persons redeemed their property
at the last moment, which brought
money into the county treasury and re-
duced the number of pieces of property
to be sold.
The law grants absolute title at the
forfeit sale, but there is some question
whether the law will stand the test of
the courts, and also some question as
to whether every feature of the sale has
been so regular as to stand the test
Several of the attorneys have purchased
small tracts of land on their own be-
half, half expecting to have to stand
law suits Others have purchased, not
investing much many particular piece.
so as to be prepared for the same even
tually.
County Treasurer Ewing states that
the receipts issued from his Office are
now about one Thousand more than
last year at this time He has all he
can do to handle the redemption taxes
and the current taxes, that are now be-
ginning to come in rapidly
In connection with the forfeited land
sale, some of the attorneys hold that
the balance paid above the accrued taxes
and penalties should go to the former
owner of the land, but the law does not
provide for this. One attorney made a
demand Tuesday upon the auditor for
800 paid by purchaser in excess of
the taxes and penalties due on certain
piece of land. 1t may be that this
point will soon be tested.

NEW LINSEED PLANT.
e. c. Warner Will Build One in Mime.
apOlis This Season.

dpUllS HE ScdSUDs
E. c. Warner. who has been promi-
nently identified with the linseed oil
business in the northwest, Tuesday
confirmed report that he would have
new, 40 press oil mill in operation in
Minneapolis in time to handle the new
crop next fall He says he has the re-
fusal of three sites, all in the inter
urban district, and that the new mill
and elevators will be thoroughly mod
ern in every respect. His superin-
tendent, he says, is already at Dayton.
Ohio, purchasing the necessary
machinery.
Such a plant as this would be the
third largest in the country, Chicago
and Buffalo alone surprising it, Mr..
Warner declares that it will be indie
pendent of the trust and that he is
building it to run and not to sell to the
American.
When the four linseed oil mills of
Minneapolis and st. Paul were pur-
chased by the American Linseed COM
pany, it was feared by many that the
effect of this consolidation would be to
remove competition in buying flax and
that the result would be to the disad-
vantage of the shippers, but if there
are any disadvantages they are in a
fair way to be removed on the COM
pletion of the plant. The new mill
would take nearly as much fax seed as
all the rest of the twin city mills put
together and would thus almost double
the demand in the local market.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
Lucas Crane Concludes Not to Run for
Representative.

The gathering together of delegates
to the Republican county convention
convention caused good deal of poll
teal gossip to circulate around Among
other things that came to the surface
was an announcement by Lucas Crane
that he had decided to withdraw from
the race for representative. He gave
as his reason that he has neither the
taste nor the time to do the wire pulling
that is necessary to secure the nomina-
ton. This will simplify matters to
some extent. Mr.. Crane would have
made very strong candidate if nomi-
mated.
Geo. 81. Clark denies rumor that he
has withdrawn from the contest for
nomination as county treasurer. He is
in the race from start to the finish.
G. P. Williams is not yet ready to
state his intentions in regard to
the county treasurership. His reply,
when asked about the matter today, was
II will see you later"
Chairman Arthur Schaub has issued
the call for the Democratic county
convention to elect delegates to the
state convention which chooses dele

central committee and new county
committee. The convention will meet
Thursday, June 14th, at p. m at

held Tuesday evening, June 18th, from

ton will be one at large for everv yot-

United States Senator, in which capac-
ity he served till he died. He was noted
in Congress as having made the greatest
speech on Civil Service Reform that was
made and ne was the father of the tariff
You may judge him by what he did
throughout his life and you must con-
fess his greatness Judge him by the
principles of his life land you must
bend with reverence before him. In all
North Cardinals great men he stands
foremost. In youth showing the firm
ness of age, and in age showing the ar
dor of youth. Truly such a man is the
modest work of God"
Great he was, not as writer, al
though he has written what we are glad
to read; not as an orator, although he
has spoken often and we'll; not as a sol
der although always brave; not as
statesman, although versed in govern
ment and intuitively perceiving the re-
lations of men and nations but he is
great as one of the States benefactors,
who possessed the largest measure of
that greatest gift of God to mantle
genius of beneiicence. And great he is
as an example, which, so long as history
endures shall teach all-the author, the
soldier, the statesman-all alike to la
Dor and if need be to suffer for right.
The fame of such a character, brighten
ing with the advance of civilization, can
find no limit in earthly gratitude.
