ply st. Paul Schools.

school year the threc-year contract for
supplying school books expires, has be-
come the means Of a school book contest
and the city authorities having these mat,
ters in charge, are besieged daily by in
dustrious agents anxious TO get in on the

in the field: Scott, Forsman 81 Co,
Maynard, Merrill & Co., The American
Book company, d. c. Heath. Allyn &
Bacon Company, the Werner Book COM
pany, and CHM s. Co.
The superintendent are lodging, as
best they can, the army of statesmen and
are hoping that the list OF solicitors will
not be enlarged until nearer the end Of
the term. Whoever secures the three
year contract will get a fat thing, but
the educators are averse to making any
change and 80 are the patrons Of the
schools OF the city. for it win mean ad-
ditional expense to those who have to
buy books.

BABY TORNADO.
TRIED TO THROW 4 BARN AT A
FREIGHT TRAIN.

LINCOLN, Neb May A Journal
special from Hastings says:
a small but genuine tornado tore
things up in a lively way between Ju-
malta and Hastings late this afternoon
while a Burlington freight train was
coming into Hastings from Juniatta.
The wind picked up a large barn and
carried it straight toward the train for
over 100 yards. The engineer put on
full steam and an exciting race followed,
but the wind changed its course before
reaching the track. People of Hastings
saw the approach of the twister and
sought places of safety. The storm
just touched the west edge of town. and
after destroying trees and outhouses
picked up a large barn and tore it into
kindling wood.

cat first" said Clark, "I paid the
money to Briggs, and later on I refused
to do business with him, when he sent
word that my machines would be
smashed. 7 had a machine In Charley
Gebharts which he removed and re-
placed it with one of his own BIodgett
informed me that Briggs must have one
third of the money with which to "hX''
the authorities and the newspapers, and
when 1 refused to give up, / was in
formed that would be compelled to do
so if run the machines at all.
afterwards man named Peterson
called upon me and asked me to accom-
pany him to the Office Of DR.. Ames where
in, and I said I would not wait, when
Peterson went out to see the mayor
I'm short time he returned, and said
he had seen the doctor. and that every
thing was all right. Peterson said he
asked the mayor if he should give one,
third to Briggs, and the latter had said
no. but that the money should be given
to Blodgett."
Clark then stated that he had employed
a man named Caffery to look after mis-
machines, and the latter told him that
Blodgett had said that there was not
much in the machines, as one-third had
to go to the newspapers and the authori-
ties.
He also made the startling statement
that Briggs had said that if he did not
come to time with tSle machines he would
close the saloons where they were located
at midnight and or Sundays.
ROGERS STORY.
"Tooze Rogers, who was indicted on
seven counts, ami paid fye fines, told
the court that he had been guaranteed
protection by Briggs, who told him he
need not have fear Of any interference,
as he had fixed" things with the au
thorities and the newspa 1ers. Rogers
said it was his understanding that the
latter were to receive one-third Of the
receipts.
In a large number Of cases the saloon-
keepers told the court that while they
objected to the mach mes, they were al
most forced to operate them, and in al
most every case the accused had been
informed that there was not the slight
est danger of any interference.
The indicted saloonkeepers were ar
raigned separately, and 1t was long past
noon when the last man had entered his
plea. All pleaded guilty

neys Lars Rand and Victor E. Welcn

Judge MCGEE took matters into his own

Immediately after sentence. had been
pronounced, rush was made for the
Office of Clerk of the Court Dickey, and

Clerks Royce, Kobler, Ryberg and
others were kept busy In taking in the

In each case amounted to about SIS, and
by Monday the Golfers Of the county

FAHEY's ACCOUNT.

III was this way, your honor" ex-
planned Edward Fahey, one of the ae-
cused men. Fred Briggs and another
man called at my place and told me that
If l would put in a machine they would
see that there was no trouble, and they
assured me that 1 ran no risk I let them
put In the machine and we divided the
profits"
Gideon E. Clark, the commission man
who operated several machines of differ
ent make from those of the Briggs syn
dicate, which are owned by the Marsh
field Novelty company, pleaded guilty to
having had machine stored in his Of
fee.
Judge MCGEE questioned him closely.
and it was brought out that he had piao-
ed several machines around town, and
that he had encountered great opposi-
ton from the Briggs syndicate. Dur
ing the recess Clark sought voluntarily
an interview with Judge MCGEE, and
what took place in the latters chambers
was brought out later.
After the recess, Clark was sum-
moned before the court and he said that
he had first been called upon by man
named Phillips, who told him that every
thing had been fixed" and he was after
wards seen by Blodgett, agent for the
Marshfleld Novelty company who IN
formed him that he would have to dc
business with Briggs, the understanding
being that the money was to be divided
equally between himself, Briggs and the
authorities

Not a Representative.

The last Congress voted nearly 1lG
millions Of the peoples money to the
army and A., millions to agriculture.
As all income. traced to its origin,
comes out of agriculture, the appropria-
lions, considered as dividends are very
unfair.
OF the 120 millions represented the
earning power should have gotten more
than A., millions.
And still there are people who really
think their representatives are repre-
senting them in so voting their money
away.
But they are mistaken.
The man who goes to Congress, cs-
pecially from an agricultural district,
and gives the army IS times more sup
port than he gives back to mis- people
may be something more but he is no less
than an attorney for the army.

Tripod and Bench.

The most despisable object is a partisan
who pretends to conduct bipartisan or
independent paper.
The above few lines come from the
Westminster .ldroc0tc, democratic
paper, ria the Oakland Rcpubiicd", IA re-
publican paper, to the Frostburg Forum,
which is any-old-thing kind of a paper
But it is really too severe. In the
first place, the .ldrocate was unfeeling,
the republican heartless and the ForHm,
by editing "despicable" to make it
"despisable," was unfair and unkind.
But it is plain these partisan gentry
claiming to be honest. too-do not ap-
prove of the independent press. In fact,
they say that independent newspapers
are simply frauds.
Not only So, but
there is every inducement to dishonesty
in being non-partisan or independent.
The JOURNAL mentions the matter
here because therepublican papers which
have affirmed the Judgment of the demo
cratic ldcor"h fatty dissent from an
opinion of judge Blanchard, of New
York who told a jury on Monday that
the independent press is benefit to tn,
country.
Which again forces the JOURNAL back
upon its inalienable privilege Of hoping
for the best.
