1t is expected that soon after the con-
vening of congress a rigid Chinese
exclusion act will be placed. The
passage of such law will not be un-
contested, however, for largeHawaiian
interests, whose representatives called
at the White House and at the treasury
some weeks ago, pleading for an ex-
ception that would allow coolie labor
ers to be imported for the sugar and
rice plantations. are still trying to
persuade congress that some help of
that kind is necessary to the salvation
of those interests. Mr.. Edgar Caypless
of Honolulu, who was here few days
ago, has gone to New York but will
be back in January to labor for such
provision. Col. Sam Parker, of
Hawaii is also expected here soon to
remain for the winter. and will use
his influence in the interest of the
Hawaiian sugar planters.
There efforts are regarded as hope
less, for the far western delegations in
congress have fully agreed upon a
measure, such as they want enacted.
1t follows the lines introduced early in
the session by Mr.. Kahn, of San Fran
cisco, being backed by the labor or
ganization of the country, will prob
ably be passed without material modi-
fcation.
Representative McCleary has inau-
gurated an inquiry to ascertain the
opinion in Uniformed circles as to
the ACCESSIBILITY of an amendment to
the national bank law authorizing
small banks to advance loans on real
estate. The question of permitting
small banks to make loans on real es
tate has been called to his attention
several times during the past few
years, and lately has received severa
letters on the subject from small
bankers in the northwestern states.
| Before offering an amendment to thu
law carrying the idea into effect, Mr.
McCleary decided to ascertain tn
Judgment of those who are qualified t.
express an opinion on the subject
Accordingly he has sent out about ST
hundred circular letters to persons il
: every state and territory askin!
whether it is the Judgment of the per
sons addressed that it would be goo
public policy to permit small banks
loan portion of their resources o
real estate security. He also desires
learn if such an amendment is al
6 proved, where the line shall be draw
in authorizing banks to make sue
lloans-whether it shall be based
;. the size of the town in which the ban
: is located or whether it shall be base
on the capital; further, what percen
age of the banks resources shall
h used in this way.
lei The amendment is approved by mar
= we'll known bankers and is said
have the Endorsement of Charles {

his (Fred's) wife: Erred acts funny
isnce the fire, he can't look no man in
the face" Fred's wife replied, he
said, 81 tried to stop him from setting
the fire, but could not, when the Buck
holtz's get started nothing can stop
them" Afterward when coming from
Danville Fred stopped witness and
wife with a hammer in his hand and
asked him what he had told some Of
the neighbors, about his setting..the
fire, and swore at him. Witness aksed
him why he acted SO funny and could
not look a man in the face.
This finished the direct examination
and the witness was cross examined
by W. E. Young for the defendants.
Up to the noon recess, nothing new
had been developed by the cross ques-
tioning.
Att 80 O'Clock the court convened
and the cross examination OWN. See
feldt was continued by Mr.. Young
Nothing particularly new was brought
out from the cross examination that
was not shown in the examination.
Mr.. Young finally asked witness If he
knew a Mr.. Coleman. Witness replied
that he did. Asked also if he knew
Mr.. Whitney replied that he did.
Following this Mr.. Young commenced
asking questions about these men,
when Mr.. Pfau and County Attorney
Wilson objected to Questions as to
these men as not being proper cross
examination. After some legal quib-
ling and ruling by the court that it twas
not proper discrimination Mr..
Young desisted and turned to other
matters but nothing new was brought
out.
Mrs. SeefeIdt the wife of the previ-
ous..-witness was next calico by the
state, and was examined by Mr.: Pau.
Her testimony did not differ materi-
ally from that given by Mr.. Seefeldt.
The cross-examination by Mr.. Young
developed nothing new. On many
points the witness did not remember
as to conversations which took place,
but in all material points, however,
she agreed with the testimony given
by her husband.
The next witness called was August
Zeingler. The examination was con-
Quoted by Mr.. Wilson. Knew about
burning of Seefeldt's barn. Said he
had a conversation with Geo. Buck
holz at defendants house on 9th Of
October last. Said he..stated that Bill
had new barn built and Buckholtz
replied, Eyes, sir, 1 got even with
the on the last one. .
The witness was then turned ovel
to defendants attorney and was cross
examined by W. R. Geddes, but moth
ing..new was brought out. Hard worl
was done, however, to mix the wit
ness..up, but the statement of the wit
ness as to what defendant said was no
! shaken.
! Henry Marquet was the next wit
ness and was examined by County At
torney Wilson. Witness said he was a
Mapleton next day after the fire witt
milk at creamery. Saw Fred Buckholt
! here and had talk with him
Asked him how the fire started at See
feldts and after some talk as to .th
matter, said Fred told him that Geo
Buckholtz put match to it. Witnes
said "Oh, you don't mean it, an
had few more words with him, an
then talked about creamery matters.
W. E. Young conducted the cross
examination but at the time of goin
to press had brought out nothing ne
but succeeded in mixing the witnes
! up somewhat.

Society,".

One of the prettiest social events
that ever occurred in the city was the
reception and fancy dress ball given
at the Saulpaugh Tuesday evening by
Mr.. and Mrs. Frederick 81. Snyder.
The decorations were many and beau
tiful, including several coy corners,
cut flowers, etc.
About one hundred and fifty guests
were in attendance, and these were
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Snyder, DR..
and Mrs. Ray of Minneapolis, and
Messrs. Harry Fuller and Roy Thomp-
son.
The costumes were handsome and
some of them unique many of the
guests dressing to represent we'll
known characters in history. The
ladies were especially happy in their
selection of characters and costumes.
Grecian, Scottish and other garbs
were worn. 1t would be unfair to
mention some unless all were given in
dividual notice.
Refreshments were served in the
ladies' ordinary, and the dining room
was given over to the dancers. The
Crescent orchestra furnished the music.
Several punch bowls were served. - -
The affair will long be remembered
by those present.
The first annual reception to.the
public given by the Y. M. @. A. in its

RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS.
Omaha and Northwestern Roads Pro-
ieCt New Work,

The Chicago, st. Paul, Minneapolis
g. Omaha railroad has purchased lots
through the heart of Sioux City,
amounting to sixty acres, and in a
strip mile long, and has announced
the construction of large machine
shops for the entire northern Iowa and
Dakota divisions, and the building Of
the largest terminal system in the city.
It is known that the company is pre-
pairing to build the line to L Mars,
connecting the two sections of the
Omaha railroad, and that property is
already being bought for the erection
of a mammoth union station for all the
North Western lines at Sioux City.
A line will also be built from Mer-
rill, Iowa, to Centerville, S. D., con-
Meeting the South Dakota lines with
Sioux City. It is unoficially stated
that the North Western plans provide
for the expenditure here of a million
dollars.
The North Western will commence
work early in the spring on an extern
sion of forty miles from Elroy to
Princeton in Wisconsin. This will
afford freight and passenger service on
North Western lines from the twin
cities directly across the state of Wis
consin to Sheboygan. It will be of
great assistance to the North Western
in transporting coal from Lake Michi
gan to the twin cities. The trade in
the country tributary to the new line
will be contended for on about equal
terms between Chicago, Milwaukee
and the twin cities.

W0MeN'S WORK IN MINES.
Some Examples of Success Where the Fair Sex
 Mas Had a Chance.

Some Examples Of Success Where the Fair Sex
 Mas Had Chance.
 Mining Is usually considered one the toughest of occupations, but now it's field has been invaded by lovely woman. Three of the mines of Arlzo. na are managed by women, and from all accounts we'll managed
 When Gen. A. V. Kautz was in Ari- zona, nearly twenty-five years ago, as colonel of the Fourteenth infantry, he became interested in a promising look ing gold claim in Big Bug district, twenty miles south of Prescott, This mine, the Gopher, formed large part of the assets Of the generals estate when he died couple of years ago. His widow and two talented daughters are now running the mine and with profit. No reduction plant is available, so the ore is shipped. With the pro ceeds the property is being intelligent ly opened up, the three women super intending all work and doing all there is to be done beyond the actual hand ling of the ore.
 Four valuable gold and copper claims few miles from Wickenburg, Ariz., are being worked by an association of ladies, most of them resident of Phoe- nix. All the officers above the rank of foreman are women. The general man. ager is little whlte-haired woman, Mrs. w. T Hutchinson. The corpora tion the women have formed has been christened the Golden Rule Mining company. It is capitalized at $500, 900. One of the claims bears the name of Helen Gould, Although the enterprise is new one, about 1000 feet of deyel- opment work has been done. The ex- pense is cheerfully borne by the femi- nlne stockholders, who believe they have bonanza.
 The third example of woman'S ability to delYe, as well as to soar, is in the southwestern part of the territory The Castle Dome lead mines, thirty miles north of Yuma, are among the oldest in Arizona, and are the only ex- cluSively lead mines in the southwest Their operation has been favored by water transportation, for they are not far from the great Colorado river. For years they have been owned by W. D. Luce. With him always at the mines has been his wife, who became Tn time an expert, not only on the particular property handled, but on mining in general. Six month ago MT. Luce was compelled to leave his work, to seek change of climate for the benefit of his health. Since his departure the mine has been run successfully by Mrs. Luce. She is superintendent and foreman, attends to the shipment of the ore and transacts every detail of the business with success and with no small degree of profit Journal for Investors
