to the Union and confederate soldiers from
that state who fell on that battlefield.
He read the inscription as follows:
'As we are united In life and they united
in death, let one monument perpetuate
their deeds and one people, forgetful of all
asperities forever holding in grateful re-
membrance all the glories of that terrible
conflict which made all men free and re-
tained every star on the nations flag"
THAT is a good sentiment, that is a SEN
timent by which we can all stand
And. oh. my friends, that sentiment has
as its underlying spirit a spirit of brother
hood. I firmly believe in my countrymen,
and therefore 1 believe that the chief thing
necessary in order that they should work
together is that they should know one
another: that the men north should know
the southerners; that the men of one occu-
patton should know the men of another oc-
cupatfon; so we may all realize that the
things that divide are superficial are
unimpOrtant, and that we are and ever must
be knit together into one indissoluble mass
by common American manhood"
AS the President concluded he was round
ly cheered.

Eulogy on President Mckinley.
In the Union station in Columbus. Ohio,
when the President reached there Saturday
he responded to the calls of the crowd as
follows:
Il want to thank you for coming here.
1t is just year ago that Ohios great
President was shot. and it is an ami
versary that is fitted to make all of us
think very solemnly both of what the
country lost in his death and of what the
country owed to his life. President Nc
kinney had become the President of the
entire country, so that Ohio could claim
him no more than all the rest of US, and
wheL he died his character and his poll
cies had so impressed themselves upon
the nation as a whole that in the broadest
and fullest sense he had become the Presi-
dent of no party and no section, but of the
people throughout the length and breadth
of our Union. 1t is a good thing for us
now, year after he was shot TO think of
what he did and try to keep ourselves up
to his standard.
Il thank you most heartily for giving me
the chance to see you. l obliged to you
for your greeting

OPPENHEIM GIVES up
CONVINCED THAT O'NEILL POLLED
MORE VOTES THAN HE.

The recount of the votes cast for the
municipal judgeship nomination has been
discontinued, as Hermann Oppeheim has
come to the conclusion that he did not
receive enough votes to have his name
placed on the ticket. The recount started
Monday and was continued until Thurs
day night. After the adjournment Of the
referees Thursday night. they were in
formed by telephone that they need not
appear Friday morning.
The referees recounted the votes cast
in the first six wards and the Eighth and
Ninth. The recount gave Mr.. Oppenheim
a gain on O'Nein Of six votes, who still
leads him by 103. Kelly gained on OPP
penheim and 10 on O'Neill.
As the results have not justified Mr.
Oppenheim's desire to have the votes re-
counted he will be obliged to pay the
costs, which will likely amount to $25 a
day, independent of the fee he will be
obliged to pay his attorney W F. Hunt.
The three referees receive $3.50 a day for
their services.

Assets Equal Liabilities.
Manager Douglas says:


Il think the assets equal to the Iabili-
ties, he said, and I believe that until
at least One-half of the assets is distrib-
uted the income from the property We
hold will pay all of the expenses of liqui-
datlon. Every piece Of the property is
improved and it is all rented advanta-
geOuSly. 1t is really making money still
for the shareholders.
The real trouble was the difficulty to
get new business. Building associations
have suffered recently and people distruSt
them 70 the best Of my knowledge not
one of the local associations in this sec
ton has survived and after our assOca-
ton goes into liquidation but one of tif-
teen national concerns will remain in
Minnesota.
1--WE were organized fourteen years ago
and did a good business. The theory we
worked on was selling stock in places
where money was cheap and making
loans where money was dear. Our syS-
tenn was perfect. We loaned only where
there were local boards. These boards
consisted of at least five members, and
each was obliged to hold at least ten
shares of stock. We had special ex-
aminer, also appraise the property, and
no loan was made for more than SO per
cent of the lowest appraisement. Yet We
lost on some of our loans. The courts
are hostile in foreclosures and this ham
perS us some.
our assets are largely made up of real
estate holdings. We have about, $500, 900
IN that sort of property. As L said be-
fore, this is payinB well, but houses and
lands will not pay for stock withdrawals
We are obliged to dispose of the real es-
tate"
Mr.. Johnson advised liquidation on

of directors met and decided to do SO.

st. Paul friends of c. H. Worthen, who

and almost without exception they re-
fuse to accept the theory of dependency
due to financial reverses, put forward in
the New York dispatches Those in this
city who knew Mr.. Worthen best declare
that his deed could only be attributed
to positive insanity resulting from long
years of acute physical suffering. One
gentleman. a physician who had known
Mr.. WOrthen and his wife for twenty
years, and had continued intimate rela-
tions with them even after they left this
city to make their home in the East
said last evening to T e G 10 b e:
Il am firmly convinced that he must
have been positively insane. Ever since
he met with that accident he has, I
know, suffered most excruciating pain
at frequent intervals. 1t was believed
by the physicians familiar with his case
that ir the healing of the wound caused
by the arnputatiOn of his leg some of the
nerves had become disarranged and at
intervals of twenty or thirty hours he
was subject to periods of intense pain
from which he could find no relief.
know that while he remained here it was
his custom at such times to stay by
himself and suffer in silence, and only
his physician and most intimate friends
knew the torture he was compelled to
undergo. Doctors came to the conclu-
sion that another operation would greatly
improve his condition, if not entirely
relieve him from those agonizing pains,
but he absolutely refused to again place
himself in the hands of the surgeons.
and continued to bear his suffering as
best he could, although it was a constant
drain upon his physical system, and
could not but in time affect his mind.
After he went to New York the business
IN which he engaged required greater ac-
tivity on mis- part, and the periods Of
pain We're more frequent and his suffer
ing more severe. 1t would be only
natural consequence that he should be-.
come insane under the circumstances
When he first arrived In this city Mr..
WoHhen became interested in a credit
insurance company, but within a short
time he invested capital in the Powers
Dry Goods company, and became secre-
tary and treasurer of the company For
a number of years he was credit man OF
the firm, and during the time he occupied
that position he made an extensive ac-
quaintance among the wholesale mer-
chants Of the city.

KILL THE POOR ONES
COMMISSIONER MCCONNELL WOULD
BUTCHER % PER CENT OF
COWS IN THE STATE
POINTS OUT THE NECESSITY
Every Cow Should Prove Her worth
by Her WOrI1s-DOctrine of
Practical Survival of
the Fittest.

"If % per cent of the cows in Minnesota
were sent to the butcher today our dairy
interests would be UNNECESSARILY improv
ed and their possibilities greatly increas-
ed This statement was made yesterday
by State Dairy and FooI Commissioner
Mcconnell, and he hopes to preach tins
doctrine as often as he has the oppor-
tunity.
Il wish that this department was so
provided for that 1 could put this doctrine
into practical effect. If 1 could have my
way l would have an expert 0airyman
in this department who should have moth
ing else to do but to go from farm to
farm and inspect the cows there and find
out how many We're paying for them
selves and how many were not worth
their keep. If a farmer had twelve cows,
and eight Of them were money earners
and four of them a dead loss, l would
have the economy of butcherinS four OF
them explained to him. If this work
could be done there would be the greatest
Improvement noted in the standard Of our
dairy breeds.
4 have made it a point whenever L
have been visiting in a county to find out
as far as possible, how many COWS in
the community actually contributed to the
wealth of the community. The cow
should pay for her keep. If she does not
she is not only a loss to the farmer, but
She stands in his way of obtaining the
most successful results. If every farmer
in the state could have his herd tested by
an expert, and be made to understand
just why his cows were not as profitable
to him as they ought to be, there would
be a weeding-Out process, and a practical
survival of the fitteSt that would increase
the wealth of the. state.
Il know of nothing we need so much
in this state (and it is needed just as much
in other states) as the personal inspection
of dairy herds by experts. We do a lit
tie of this work, but we cannot do it
Systematically. In our monthly butter
contests whenever we find a farmer who
needs a little assistance to improve the
quality of his butter we generally send
an inspector to his farm to show him just
where he has failed, and how he can i'm
prove it. If we could go to every breeder
in Minnesota and show him by test and
proof just where he was failing, Just
where he was losing by his present
methods, and point out to him methods
that would insure greater success, the
work would be worth hundreds of thou
sands Of dollars to this state.
This one point cannot be emphasized
too often, that every COW in a herd that
Is below standard and does not pay for
herself is a dctriment to the owner and
a drawback and hindrance to the dairy
development Of Minnesota. Every cow
that cannot prove her worth by her works
should be sent post haste to the slaugh
ter house"
