the company originally intended coming
into st. Paul and reaching Minneapolis

changed and to its own great surprise

Prominent officials of the B., c. r. &

ago made no secret of the fact that ST.
Paul was the prospective point of entry
and stated that there were several possi-

of energetic effort will suffice to kin off
the Minneapolis boom, and the terminus
will be st. Paul, as originally intended.

UnfavOrabIe Weather Conditions Do
Not Prevent Many From Starting.

Not Prevent Many From Starting.
AS was predicted this week the home
seekers excursions have begun with a
rush Both the Great Northern and the
Northern Pacific yesterday sent out two
sections, and the 500 train was heavily
loaded with many extra cars to be taken
on at Minneapolis. Weather conditions
were unfavorable, but the excursionists
had laid their plans, and both the trans
continental lines took out in the neigh
borhood of twenty cars each Most of the
passengers were bound for the far West,
but sprinkling were for points in North
Dakota. Next week the rush to this state
will commence in earnest, and the bulk
of travel will head that way.
Today, providing the trains are not de-
layed by the storms, the roads will be
taxed to accommodate the rush Advices
received from country agents of all the
roads indicate that the number of per-
sons taking advantage of the low rates is
very large.

DESTROY A HISTORIC PUMP.
Miscrennts Commit UnpardOnabIe
Vandalism at Harvard
College.

An objectionable act of vandalism
was discovered by Harvard men the
other morning In the night some
malicious person had destroyed that
Iime-honored and venerable institu-
tion, the college pump.
The first attempt to destroy it was
made last spring, when a dynamite
cartridge was found in an unexplod-
ed state with burning fuse by the
yard policeman at midnight. The la st
attempt was made with similar in
strument placed in the side of the
pump under the handle. 1t was sac.
cessful in exploding and rendering
the old wooden structure useless.
The old pump has been in place
since 1892 and the well had given
up its drink of pure water to the long
line Of distinguished graduates for
two generations.

OUR TRADE WITH RUSSIA.
Germany I'm the Markets of
Country of the Gar.

United States Consul Winter, at
Annabere, Germany. has transmitted
to the state department translation
of an article which recently appeared
in a German publication bearing upon
RussianAmerican trade, and the eX-
portation of American machinery to
Russia in particular. The article is
as follows:
THE increase in the trade of the
United States with Russia is notice
able. This is due to the cordial rela-
tious which exist between these two
countries. and to the less friendly at
titude of Russian merchants towards
the manufacturers Of other countries.
The greater part of the orders for
the Siberian railway has been placed
in the United States. Another large
order, amounting to $595,OOO in value,
has just been placed in America, for
machinery TO cut a tunnel of about
one and oue-half miles in length not
far from Charbin. in Manchuria. The
tunnel is to be finished in one years
time. Direct connections then will be
completed between Europe and Nladi
rostock. The United States has out
distanced Germany in the markets Of
Russia

BRAKEMAN NOW MILLION ARE
AladdIn-IlI<e Story of Young Cali
fornian Who Struck 1t
Rich In OIL.

John A. Bunting, formerly a freight
brakeman on the Southern Pacific. has
just ordered $4,000 private car from
the Pullman company. Bunting began
life ten years ago as the keeper of a
railroad water tank on the desert near
Tucson, Ariz. Then he was advanced
and finally reached the position OF
freight brakeman.
He lent man $17O and took as col
lateral watch and mortgage on 40
acres of land in Kern county, Cal. The
friend did not return the money. so
bunting sold the watch and foreclosed
on the Kern land. Recently oil was
struck near his place, He resigned his
position with the railroad and began
to develop his property. He struck
oil. and now is rated as millionaire.
Bunting came into General Manager
Filmore's Office in San Francisco the
other day and sent in his card. Mr..
Fillmore returned the reply that he was
sorry, but he had no job for him. as
Bunting had voluntarily resigned his
place. Bunting said he wasn't locking
for job. hut wanted to buy private
car. Mr. Fillmore congratulated him.
and advised him TO order car with all
the latest Improvements. which would
cost him $50, GOO. and meanwhile to rent
car from the Southern Pacific This
he decided to do.

FINDS GOLD IN THE DIRT.
heap OF supposed BrnSs nt Yale Pea
body Institute Turns Ont to
Re Aztec JeweIry,

A workman while engaged in sweep
ing out storerUUm in the Yale Pea
body museum was stopped in his work
by professor, who noticed a piece of
shining metal in what was supposed to
be small heap of brass. 1t looked pe-
culiar, and he requested the workman n
10 cease until he had made an eXamina-
ton of the metal. Soon after the pro-
fessor went hurriedly into the cellar
again and ordered the workman to re.
move every particle in the heap TO the
museum Office The alleged heap of
brass turned ont to be $4,000 worth of
gold in Aztec jewelry.
How ii became lost in the cellar is a
mystery. II is supposed that the late
Prof. o. c. Marsh, who was for wears
al the head Of the Peabody museum.
purchased the jewelry in his travels.
and when he returned to Yale he depos-
tied it in the cellar storeroom tenn.
porarily. Evidently he had forgotten all
about it, No one knows how long the
heap of gold had been lying there.
