END OF ORE RATE CASE IN SIGHT.
The final chapter of the ore rate
case will be closed within ten days,
according to the present schedule
of the railway commission.
The vital point in the proceedings
at present is the opinion of the at
torney general upon the conten-
tons of both sides and the legal po-
sition of the state. Judgment, even
the commissioners themselves adj
NIT, must be very close, since both
sides have laid down clear and
exhaustive case. The point at issue,
whether the jurisdiction of the state
extends to the ore rates, is one be-
lieved to admit of difference.
The commissioners have called a
hearing for November IL, at which
final conclusion will probably be
arrived at. The opinion of the at
torney general, which virtually de-
c1des the issue, will be submitted
before the end of the week.-News

HILL LOOKS FUR COAL AND IRON,
According to statements made by
a we'll informed man, President J. ].
Hill, of the Great Northern, is TAX
ing deeper and more comprehen-
sive interest in Northern Minnesota
than is generally supposed. He is
having made geological survey of
wide stretch of country from the
head of Vermilion lake to Rainy
lake, the object being to ascertain
as far as possible the existence of
iron and coal. The survey, which
many have supposed was being
done under charge of the govern
ment, is in charge of III. W. Hillyer,
formerly of the staff of Prof Van
Hise, who has been conducting the
government geological survey of
this range.
The survey party under Mr.. Hill
yer has at times during the past
season numbered as many as eighty
men, but the party is nowapproach-
ing koochiching, and the number
has been reduced. The survey has
been over territory frequently 20
miles in width. Mr.. Hill and his as
soCiates are said to have recently
scripped several thousand acres of
prospective coal and mineral land
in that region, and it is rumored
that the party has found some very
encouraging prospects. Float coal

INSPECTORS
Sma|IWood, a Clerk, Was Set
10 Catch a Thlsf--Was Him
self the Mail RobbSr.

Pittsburg, Sept. 16-The recent arSest OF
Frank H. Smallwood, a railway man
clerk running on the Panhandle between
indianapolis and Plttsburg, had so com
pletely baffled the post office inspectors
that they actually apologized for having
ever suspected him. and then enlisted mis-
effots in running down the thief.
Mail destined for Kansas began 10 dis
appear in December, 1895. Inspectors as
vinced that there was no trouble west OF
Indianapolis, and that the letters were
rifed between that city and Pittsburg
Suspicion at once fell upon Smallwood,
and he was transferred TO another crew,
while close watch was kept on the Kan
sas mail. Letters continued TO disap-
pear, but as the same mail was handled
at other points, there was still room for
question as TO Smallwoods guilt.
About this time the suspect was injured
and had 10 lay off for 80 days The Kan
sas mail was carefully watched during
this time. and on one occasion three let
ters were found to have been opened.
This threw the officers entirely off the
scent and they reached the conclusion
that some one else was robbing the mails
and was trying TO throw suspicion on
Smallwood.
AS soon as Smalwood recovered Inspec-
tor Holmes sent for him. told him of the
suspicious that had rested upon him and
the satisfaction IL gave the officers TO
find that he was not the thief
Holmes and Smallwood then discussed
plans for catching the robher. Smallwood
seemed TO enter SO heartily into the pro-
posed plans. that II any suspicion had re-
mained IL would have been dissipated.
The mail clerk returned 10 his run and
letters and packages addressed 10 Kan
sas people continued 10 disappear. Hav-
ing become convinced OF Smallwood' $
innocence. the inspectors went I'm other
directions for the thief I'm the meantime
Smallwood made regular reports OF letters
which he had found opened
Every trail was run down and the in
spectors were compelled 10 believe that
Smallwood was the thief and that he
was laughing in his sleeve at them Then
they changed their plan.
One morning last month Inspectors
Holmes and Fletcher met the Panhandle
train In Indiana polis Whcn Smallwood
got ont Of the car they were looking AZ

chandise store in Greenville, o. His wife

SO for his peace of mind. According to
testimony given by their negro servants,
Hughes accused his wife OF improper con-
duct.
She threatened 10 kill him If his charge
was ever repeated. On the evening or
Nov 20 Hughes made specific charge
against his wife. They were sitting In the
parlor, their only child, girl. nine years
old being present. Mrs Hughes flew into

husband he must fight. He declined, say
ing he loved her too well TO hurt her.
He started 10 leave the room. Mrs.
Hughes ordered him 10 stop. ne per

timony was given by the child I'm court.
Mrs Hughes plea was self defence. Her
husband lived some hours.N and made
statement i'm which he declared his shoot-
ing was unprovoked
Four times Mrs Hughes has been tried

best lawyers have defended her. and one
or more OF the jurymen have been thick

of the Union Railroad company was prae-

was concerned. This extension OF the
system will give the East Side at least
two additional cars per hour. and as Elm

SOURCE OF VESTS WEALTH.

Judge J. II. West Of Needles Cal. has just sold the Leland. mine, near Boundary Cone, eighteen miles frcm Needles. in Arizona. Judge West first reached Needles seventeen years ago from the east. His experience in min ing at Needles Illustrates well the op- Dortunities in that line.
 West struck out for the west in 1881. He got to Needles. which at that. time was a mere hamlet with a few shacks: but he liked the place and settled there. His first good fortune came when he was elected justice of the peace. At that time mileage allowed officers for transferring prisoners to the county jail at san Bernartiino amounted to snore than $50 q head. an1 the deputy sheriff had a snap largely coveted. Other costs in cases were cor respondingly high, and the justice of the peace got q good share.
 Judge West made money hand over fist for there was a rough, lawless element in Needles in those days. and Judge West neglected no opportunity to enforce the law. When he had saved up some money he grub-staked pros pectors and sent them out looking for mineral He dropped s12. 600 in a year. and having no more. the justice mill went to work again-oVer-time. now.
 W hen he mad acCunuia ted more money he took up mining again and located the Sheep Trail mine. which was sold three years ago for si6.0O0. He also sold the Bonanza King mine for S25,C00- Three years ago he bought the Leland mine for S5.000. This he has just sold for $50. GOO Judge West says that there is $100. LOGO in sight in the mine. but that "a bird in the hand" etc.
