SOUTH AFRICAN SITUATION.
Interesting Report From Consul Big
ham at Cape Town.


ham at Cape Town.
Washington. July IA report
treating in an interesting way of the
commercial situation in South Africa
was made public at the state depart.
ment during the day. 1t is from Uni
ted States Consul General Bigham at
Cape Town and is dated May 2S. He
says that all enterprises will be start.
ed anew. farms repaired and re-stock.
ed and machinery bought and that it
will not be possible to get goods into
the interior fast enough to meet the
demand that will arise.
All nations, Mr.. Bigham says, are
awaiting this coming trade and are
preparing for 1t by establishing direct
lines of ocean transportation, except
the United States, which, barring an
occasional freight steamer, has no di'
rect communication with Cape Colony.
The United States, he continues, ships
to South Africa more than twice as
much goods as any other country e1.
cept Great Britain.
"As British subjects will have a
great war debt to pay" says Mr.. Big
ham, "they very naturally think thai
the trade of South Africa belongs to
them and will leave nothing undone to
retain 1t. We cannot always depend
solely on the superior quallIy OF ou1
goods; greater effort on our part is
necessary"

Utilize the Dog.

Down in Georgia, according to
my friend, Capt. Lyerly, who ought
to know, lives man who is noted for
his love of ease, but whose wife is
sufficiently hustler to almost make
up for his chronic disinclination to
activity. One cold night he went to
bed, leaving some bags of grain out of
doors which should have been placed
In the barn for protection against the
weather, to say nothing of thieves.
But then, they don't have many
thieves in Georgia.
During the night the hero of this
story awoke and thought that he heard
something which sounded like rain.
He was anxious to know whether it
was raining or not, for if it were, he
wanted an opportunity to worry about
that grain, or perhaps hint to his wife
and then go to sleep while she slipped
out and attended to it.
He thought the matter over for
some time and then hunched the good
woman.

John lay and reflected for some
minutes, then awoke his wife again
and said: "I'll tell ye what ye might
do, Nancy. Ye might git up an let

COST OF TANKE TRIAL.

Through the courtesy of the clerk of
court of Sibley county, we are enabled
to publish the total amount of expense
incurred at the Tanke trial at Hender-
son and charged up to Nicollet county.
The bill includes the actual expense
from May 17ths to July 18th, when
Tanke and Mrs. Tanke were sentenced.
The following is the expense, with
the important items:
Jurors, 81, 073. 90; witness for state,
1851. 80; bailiffs, triers, deputy clerk,
etc., 1899. 40; sheriff, $3.50. 65; clerk,
$11S. So; total, So, 562. 70.
There were 159 jurors drawn and
70 examined. The last special venire
of 80 was an expensive one and cost
in the neighborhood of 5000, not in
Guiding sheriff's fees. Various esti-
mates have been made of the entire
expense incurred to Nicollet county
since the coroner's inquest following
the murder, and conservative estimate
places it at $40, 00O These figures in
clude the Sibley county bill.-St.

COMES TOO SOON.
Primary Election Should be Further
From General Election.

"The primary election, it seems to
me, comes so close to the general cleo
tion that the two campaigns ARE not
separated, and it makes very long
campaign for the candidate whose
nomination is contested" said Con-
gresham McCleary last evening in st.
Paul. SIT struck me that it would be
better if the primaries for the offices
to be filled at the fall election swere
held very early, say in July.
"Now a candidate scarcely gets
through fighting his friends, if he has
a contest on his hands, than he has to
square away to fight his enemies.
Take it in the seventh and ninth
congressional districts. There are
several candidates in the field in each
district, and they have been hard at
work for two months, and there is
still two months before the primaries.
When the sprimaries are over, it is
necessary to start at once on the cam
paign for election without breathing
spell.
SIT struck me that if the primaries
were held in July there would be a
lapse between the campaigns for nom
nation and for election, which sgives
the candidates chance to get rested,
and would allow little time to heal
the hard feelings that might be en-
gendered in a bitter contest for a

Census Employees.
New York Herald Special Service
70 fba M;nnaoooI;s T;n,os.

to the Minneapolis Times:
Washington, July II. = Salaries
amounting to $50, 900 were yesterday
paid to 800 persons at the census
bureau who, technically, were not
properly appointed employees of the
government and, therefore, construc-
lively, not emit: tied to pay.
By the permanent census act which
was to go into effect on July Z, pro-
vision was made for the appointment
of 800 employees.
AS soon as the. bill became law,
William r. Merriam, director of the
temporary census. whose succession to
the head of the permanent bureau
was assured, began to pick out clerks.
The president thought it would not
be necessary to appoint Mr.. Merriam,
thinking that he would hold over.
Acting under the same impression,
Mr.. Merriam selected and named the
permanent force. Immediately after
ward it was officially decided that the
law, while it did not state so specifi-
cally. required that permanent direc.
tor should be appointed, and the presi-
dent then made out Mr.. Merriam {
commission, which reached here Mon
day. Yesterday was the first semi
monty payday and the clerks appoint,
ed by Director Merriam before he was
himself appointed received $50, 600.
Secretary Hitchcock has decided that
his approval of the appointments has
settled the matter, as Mr.. Merriam
was at least de tactic director, but the
question may yet have to be decided
by law authorities.

SUSTAINS THE RECORDER.
Judge cray's Decision in Line With
D. v. Williams Contentious.

The following are among the mat
ters of fact found by Judge Cray il
the Diamond suit decision, which
City Recorder Williams holds sus
tains the stand which he has taken re.
garding the use of the public funds:
That by the charter of said city it il
provided that no debt in behalf OF
said city shall be incurred, or any
money expended for any purpose, O,
in any manner, excepting by express
authority of said charter, and that the
public officers of said city shall have
no power by contract or otherwise, to
exceed, in the doing of any work in
any one year, the sum appropriated
for such work by the common council
for such year.
- That by the charter of defendant
city, it is made the duty of the proper
authorities of said city to raise, .by
special assessment per lineal foot upon
real estate in said city in front of
which water mains are laid, "a sink
ing fund.- to be used solely to pay and
retire the water bonds of said city as
the same shall fall due, and that here
tofore there had been so raised a sink
ing fund for said purpose amounting
to the sum of $40, 900 all of which has
been by the authorities of said city
expended for current expenses, and
expenses of said city other.~.than the
of said water bonds, and that
said city in now, and, since .long be-
fore September list, A. D. 1901, has
been indebted TO said fund therefore
in the sum of $40, 900.
Regarding the tax levy made last
year, the sum of SO, 900 was to be ap-
portioned to the current fund of said
city, and that in making said levy
said common council anticipated that
there would be received.and collected
by said city, as licences from saloons,
peddlers, auctioneers and others, and
in fines and from other sources, from
$33, 900 to $50, 900, which additional
sums would be ended during said
fiscal year ITO paysthe current expenses
of defendant city.

BRANDS BOUND OVER.
Had His Hearing Before Judge 0gIe
TODAY,

!. Benjamin Brands had his hearing
this forenoon, on the charge of steal
ing horse from his brother, Wallie,
of Mcpherson. Owing to the illness of
Judge Shissler, the hearing was con-
Quoted by Special Judge Ogle...
Wallie Brands was the first witness
sworn. He did not develop a great
degee of intelligence. He could not
tell what state he lived in until
prompted by the county attorney, and
admitted that he could not read or
write He said that when the horse
was stolen it was seven years old and
he had owned it nine years. He adj
mitted that The did not know much
about figures. He was sure that
somebody had taken..- the. horse from
his fathers barn between 10 and
o'clock Thanksgiving morning last.
The other witnesses for the state
were Alvin Brands, brother of Wallie
and Benjamin, and Martin Wiltgen,
who made the arrest.
The defense did not put on any tes-
timony, and Brands was bound over
to the November term of the district
court. He was committed back to
Jail. The municipal court does moi
have jurisdiction in fixing bail.
County Attorney Wilson appeared
for the state, and Arthur Schaub fol
the defendant.
Sheriff Gerlich yesterday served re-
plevin papers on the liveryman al
Belle PLANE who purchased the horse
from BENZ. Brands last fall. The
liveryman has rebonded the horse
and will put up fight to keep it. He
claims to have given Brands pony
and $40 for the horse, but Brands
denies that he received any money,
and the pony had the heaves so that
it could not go.

TWO BROTHERS KILLED.
Wife of One of the Men Shoots Then
in Self-Defense.


in SeIf-Defense.
Carbondale, ILL.,, July 19.-The Jau-
bert brothers, who operated small
coal mine at Oraville were both shot
to death at their home by the wife Of
one of the men. They had returned
about IL o'clock intoxicated and the
husband demanded his supper. Mrs.
Jaubert began its preparation and her
husband began breaking the dishes
and at last attacked her. Mrs. Jau-
bert and her sister fed to back room
and locked the door. Her husband
followed, broke in the door and re-
newed the assault, whereupon the in
furiated wife fired three shots into his
body, one passing through his heart
causing almost instant death. The
brother, who was a witness to the
tragedy, took up his brothers quarrel
and attempted to strike the woman,
whereupon Mrs. Jaubert emptied the
two remaining chambers of the re-
volver into his body, inf1icting wound
from which he died shortly afterWard.
The scene of the tragedy and the floor
of the house presented terrible sight.
The woman gave the alarm and sur
rendered to the officers. Coroner E..
e. Knaue empanelled jury who after
hearing the evidence exonerated the
wife
