nations and special privileges to
none, Or our very progress will be
disastrous.
When the great and good Me-
Kinley was struck down, he was
succeeded by another Distinguish
ed member Of our party in the ex-
ecutiye chair Of the nation, who
appears to realize these things to
the fullest extent, and who has
already taken up the battle Of the
people.
Under these circumstances and
in these stirring times to repre-
sent the great Ninth district Of
Minnesota in the national con-
gress would be an honor Of which
any man might well be proud, and
a genuine call from the people to-
such a duty would not and should
not be ignored. Having lived in
the district "a years and in the
state nearly all my life, and being
proud Of our wonderful progress
in everything which makes state
great in this great nation, / take
great pleasure in complying with
your suggestion, and | shall in the
near future comply with the law
and qualify as a candidate before
the ensuing primary election.
Yours very respectfully,

Cass Lake Hearing.

There is. a strong fight on at
Washington bearing on section
.16of the Cass Lake tOwnsite.
George Lydeck, whose wife and
children have an Indian allotment
of 22O acres on the site, presented
his case and showed by special
reports from Indian agents, and
by former Commissioner d. I.
Hall, that his wife had never for
feited her rights with the White
Oak Point tribe.
Indian Commissioner Jones has
reported in favor of giving the
patent to the Lydecks, but the
title is a long ways from being
secure yet.
Ex-Judge Frank Ives is making
a coulter claim, and has o stack
Of affidavits high as a hill to show
that Mrs. Lydeck was living at
Grand Rapids when it Is claimed
she was on the Oak Point reser.
vation. It's further claimed that
the Lydecks are as thoroughly
squatters as the other settlers on
section 16, Cass Lake, and that
they took up the claim knowing
that it would be a townsite.

A Novel Idea.

Rev. Higgins has hit upon a
novel idea for raising funds and
furnishing more than its equiv
.alent of fun and excitement. He
proposes to get up two fishing
parties OF twenty men each.
They will go out in the afternoon
and fish till late in the evening
and return with their spoil to q
supper prepared by the ladies of
the Presbyterian church. The
party catching the least fish will
pay for the supper Of the victori-
ious party. This will be great
sport. The cost will be SO cents
to each fisherman which pays for
the boats; and the party Of poor
anglers will pay another SO cents
for the supper for themselves
and the winners. The parson
will have no difficulty to sell
membership tickets in this novel
club.
The event will take place Fri.
day, June ~, between the hours
of 5 to 9 p. M, fishing to be con.
fined to lakes Bemidji and Ir-
vine. The catch will be scored
by points as follows: Pike, 5;
perch, 4; plckerel, 8; bullheads,
q; rock bass, /.

A Curious Tip and Its Revenge.
From the London News.


A certain little Flemish watering place,
which is much frequented by English and
American visitors in the summer, possesses
two attractions in the shape of a Presby-
terian place Of worship and roulette table.
One Of the faithful had quite recently
a most ingenious idea. After the number
Of the hymn succeeding the sermon was
given he stole away. made his way to the
table. and invested all he was worth on the
number Of the hymn. Needless to say the
number turned up, and the lucky coup be-
came the talk Of the village for the rest
Of the week. Next Sunday the church was
crammed to the door. The pious pastor
was rejoiced in heart. After a powerful ad-
dress he gave out Hymn No. 81" The
moment the words left his lips. to his con-
sternation. there was a rush to the door,
and he was left with a faithful handful to
upraise their agitated strain of praise. As
for the rest. they made a bee line from the
house of prayer to the house of play. We
are happy to relate that their little ad-
venture cost them very dear. -

Last Vianna Horse Cars.

From the London Telegraph.
A few evenings ago, The Vienna public
took a noisy farewell Of the horse trans in
the Ringstrasse xThe two last cars, which
started in opposite affections. were hung
with blue lamps and decorated with flags
and greenery. The oldest drivers were on
the seats. and the oldest conductors in the
wagons. Both cars were crowded to the
utmost possible extent. and the police for
once closed their eyes to oyercrowding.
Songs were sung and hurrahs given for
the horses, while the noise brought the
guests out of the cafes. windows were
thrown open and handkerchiefs waved
None Of the passengers left the cars until
the circuit was completed. when the horses
were stroked and fed and the tramway SER
wants richly tipped. The cars passed each
other on the Franz Josef quail amid up
roarious cries. Henceforth only electric
cars will run In Vienna. These are popular
enough In winter, but in summer thE are
unbearably hot. The lines have now been
laid as near the center OF the town as the
width OF the streets allow, but the dream of
bringing them to- the Stefansplatz has not
yet. fortunately for the omnibus companies.
been realized.

LUCKY WOMEN MINERS.
Many Of Them Doing Well With
Claims LEFT by Men.

Claims Ieft by Men.
From the Kansas city Star:
In the mineral beHs OF the great west
are many mines being prof1tably. worked
by women which a few years ago were
the properties OF men who were supposed
to know =" pay rock" when they had it, but
which were abandoned after few weeks
gophering. Mrs. Hortense Adams Of Boise,
Idaho is perhaps the only woman known
who discovered mine Of great value. She
is widow on the shady side of thirty
wideawake and practical A few years
ago friends extended to her an Invitation
to attend picnic which she reluctantly ac-
cepted. Lunch was spread on a fiat rock
To the observant eye of Mrs. Adams it was
soon apparent that the place had been at
some time prospected and that the rock
which served as a table was different from
the neighboring rocks.
She secured a sample, and upon her re-
turn to Boise had the piece assayed, with
the result that within forty-eight hours
afterward she located large group Of
claims and commenced their development
The first vein encountered gave $40 per
ton. and since then rock worth many hun
dreds of dollars per ton has been taken
out The finest specimens of mineral ever
shown in the mining bureau came from
this mine. Mrs. Adams obtained the SER
studied his methods. In short time she
dismissed the expert, assuming the entire
management herself, and within Ave months
she refused one-quarter million dollars cash
for er-property.
Another instance Of womans pluck and
perseverance was shown when Antonio
the husband Of Mary Trussele Of Santa
Fe. N. M, had thrown aside pick and spade
and decided to abandon claim which at
its inception had promised big returns,
but later proved disappointment. The
wife, however, with faith and ambition
started operations on her own account,
with the result that, few months ago the
lewiston interests acquired the mine at a
very high figure.
The great Highland Mary mine, up Cum
ningham gulch in San Juan county. Colo
rado. owes the high price obtained for the
