Minnesota granite will be used for
the approaches, steps, terraces and
balustrades of the Minnesota state cap
itol, and as St. Cloud furnished it for
the other portions of the building. it
seems likely that the granite for this
work will come from there. While it
is not yet certain the general impress
sion exists among granite men that the
stone will be taken from the Baxter
quarry. The Pioneer Press says of

John Hoppe VS.. John A. DoWie.

SOIiii E1OppS VSs JOIiIl "a DOWIOs
John Hoppe, who declares that he is
no less parsonage than John the
Baptist the Second, Is in town today
and announces that he will 60 at once
to Chicago and confr ont a man who is
posing before the country as John the
Baptist II, and denounce him as an
imposter. Hoppe is an eccentric char
acter, living at Albany, this county,
and he was in the John the Baptist
business when John Alexander Dowie,
the last claimant TO the title, was in
swaddling clothes. The Stearns coun-
.ty evangelist claims that he is proving
his right to the title by preaching in
The wilderness and converting more
people than all the preachers com
bined. He asks no aims or fees, but
he would like half-fare permit that
he might make his fir qTent trips to the
centres of population more cheaply.
He applied at the court house this
morning and presented Il statement
signed by the judges and officers Of
the municipal court of St. Paul, stat
ing that in their opinion he was emit
tied to a hall rate Or in fact any old
rate that would get him out of town.
He wanted similar endorsement from
the districtcourt of this county and
needless to say it was given him. At
one of the banks Hoppe borrowed $50
and then announced that he would
start Immediately for Chicago and that
Dowie must face him and prove his
claim to the cognomen of John the Bap-
tist ii. He makes no "laim to the work
ing of miracles aud declares that the
criminal John the Baptist made no
such claim. The man is a harmless
crank with good deal Of native
5hrewdness.-J Press.
