Senator Hansbrough of North Da-
kota has introduced two bills which
are liable to create good deal of dis
cussion and attract much attention.
One provides for federal inspec-
ton of all grain under the supervision
of the Interstate commerce commits
sion and does away with all state in
spection. The other bill repeats the
timber and stone act and withdraws
all government timber land from the
market, which under the provisions OF
the bill is to be disposed of at it's mar
ket value.

Womankind with mawkish ways and
morbid curiosity made a disgusting
exhibition at the Goelet-Roxburghe
wedding in New York last week.
Women, called stylish and respectable,
damned the streets, tore the canvas
leading to the church doors and STOP
ped the brides carriage and poled
their heads into the carriage window
that they might get a look at the bride.
Policemen were almost helpless in the
mob of frenzied feminines. They we're
women of all shades of crime and re-
spectability who went mad over an
event in which an English dude and
an American dame with a fortune were
made man and wife. Oh, fools, fools!

That watchdog Of honor, District
Attorney Jerome of New York, SAYS
that if the Tammany thugs think they
are going to have an open town they
have made the d, biggest mistake of
their lives. He says: IF this city
wants the spectacle of it's district at
torney applying for private funds for
purposes of enforcing the laws. that
spectacle will be shown I can get all
the money I want.''

1t was lucky that there were enough
postal officials left in the postal de-
partment of the government so that
the annual report could be issued. Ac-
cording to the annual report of that
department the expenditure for all
classes of mail transportation service
in this country is 1853, 594, 542, and the
rate of%cost per mile travelled is Sl2. 80.
There are 1900 lines of travelling post
office railroad, steamboat and electric
car, covering 189, 29S miles in length,
with 1855 employees. It is estimated
that the railway postal clerks handled
during the year Is, 900, 802, $50 pieces
OF mail matter, exclusive of registered
matter and 1,3S7,664 errors were re-
ported in their distribution, a ratio
OF one error to II $50 correct distribu-
lions. This is getting things down
quite correct. The report says that

more than 10000 routes, aggregating
over 249,ooo miles in length. Sc: ,.

COLLINS BUNCOED!
That is What the Office Holders Union
Alias the State Administrator Has
Done to Judge L. w. Collins.
The St. Paul Dispatch, the Moutl,piece
Of Gov. Van Sant, Says Jamison
Hoodwinked Collins.

Gov. Van SAINTS private secretary.
Judge Robert Jamison, in an inter-
view which appeared in all the city
papers last Wednesday morning anent
the announcement of Judge Collins
that he would be candidate for the
governorship, said: "Before giving
out his recent statement, Gov. Van
SAINT had made up his mind that he
would not be candidate for a third
term. He has SO stated to me.''
Doubtless Judge Collins was led to
believe that he would be Gov. Van
SAINTS legatee: that Gov. Van SAINT
and his entire official family would
devote their energies to secure him the
nomination, etc., etc. Judge Collins
was also assured the hearty support
of the St. Paul Dispatch, the Pioneer
Press, the Minneapolis Journal and
the Minneapolis Tribune. Now comes
the St. Paul Dispatch, the recognized
mouthpiece of Gov. Van SAINT in a
double-leaded editorial in it's issue of
the 18th inst. and boldly asserts that
no one had authority to speak for
Gov. Van SAINT and intimates that Mr..
Jamison did not speak the truth. Here
is the Dispatch editorial in question:
While Gov. Van SAINT is swing
ing around the circle in the East.
there seems to be lively interest
in certain quarters at home in
eliminating him from the list of
entries for the gubernatorial race.
Just where the authority is obtain
ed for this elimination is another
matter. Certainly there is nothing
in the last public utterance of the
governor which contains the slioht-
est warrant for considering him
On the retired list, and it may rea-
sonably be assumed that he has
given utterance to no private as
surance that ne Will not permit the
use Of his name if the conditions
at the proper time should demand
it. We are now in the first forma-
tive stage of the campaign. The
air will be clarified in the course
of the winter.
The Dispatch no doubt has inside
information and speaks by the card.
The inevitable conclusion is that
Judge Collins has been buncoed and
that at the proper time Gov. Van
SAINT will announce that he is again
willing to sacrifice himself upon the
altar of his country by accepting a
third-term nomination for the gov
ernorship.

The rush at the CroOkston land
office to file on land thrown open to
settlement by the government would
Indicate that next to gold and precious
metals land is the great desideratum.
Men and women waited in line pa
tiently for hours to get an opportunity
to file on land they had selected. One
young woman hung onto the door knob
of the land Office door for over three
hours and she proved "stand patter"
she got her land. An old lady sixty
years of age breathed a prayer of re-
lief when she was informed that her
filing was good. Another woman
walked over thirty miles through the
woods and across the swamps to make
her filing. Government land that has
been practically given to bonafide set
tiers has made the west. Without the
homestead act the nation would be
fifty years behind the times and much
of the west would yet be wilderness.
While thousands of settlers we're prov
ing up on their claims the great west
grew into a mighty empire. While
there have been abuses of the land
laws of the country many thousands
Eof well-meaning persons have been
made comfortable and happy. But it
was the peoples land and it was
theirs to inherit. The struggles and
privations of the early pioneers of the
west furnishes the most interesting
chapter in the development of the ma
ton.

Then presently she added:
Let us go, Charlie. | leave here
buried in the heart of His mountains
the bitterness that has Swallowed not

who love me. The mountains are His

But as they paused for an instant

sobbing at their feet, black with the
slime and smoke of the town, she laid
her hand earnestly upon his arm, and

with its new tenderness, she added,

After Twelve Ballots Body Reports to
Court, Which Discharges Il.


jefferson City, Mo-. State Senator
Frank Farris must again stand trial
on the charge OF bribery under an in.
dictment alleging that he sold his
vote to Daniel J. Kelley, the fugitive
legislative agent Of the Royal Baking
Powder Company, for $1,000 to vote
to prevent the repeal OF the pure food
law. The jury In the case, which
closed Friday night, returned into
court soon after 10 O'Clock Saturday
morning and reported its inability to
agree. It stood eight for conviction
TO four for acquittal. Judge Graves,
when II announced that It could not
agree. discharged the jury.
Twelve ballots we're taken, and once
there was a tie. On another ballot
two Of the six who had voted for &C.
Quittal went over TO the other side,
and there the jury stood until dis
charged. The four who held out for
aequittal, It is learned from reliable
sources. expressed their belief in the
guilt Of Senator Farrls, but declared
they did not consider 1t sufficiently
pronounced to convict upon the tes-
timony for the State, furnished in the
main, II not wholly, by former Lieu
tenant Governor John A. Lee.
Though the hearing resulted in a
mistrial, It is generally conceded here
that It is a victory for the State,
which is the exception in mistrials,
and the prosecution, now having
learned the defense, will be better pre-
pared at the next hearing Of the case
70 secure the verdict it expected in this
instance. while the defense can scarce
~ strengthen itself. A splendid fight
was made by both sides, but the State
was at a great disadvantage, and At.
torney General Grow and his assist
ant, Sam B. Jeffries, were warmly
congratulated. The eight men who
voted for conviction, and all but two
Of who so voted on each of the twelve
ballots, we're John Ross, foreman OF
the jury; Everett Ward, James r.
Taylor, Joseph Deering and w. E.
Wade, Democrats; M. NJ. Daugherty,
Fred Yost and Martin Beck, Republi-
cans. The four who voted for &C.
Quittal throughout were Ben Z. Lock-
EFT and James Clark, Democrats; Ben
jamin Prenger and Peter Lauf, Repub-
licans. Wade and Daugherty were
the two who changed from acquittal
to conviction.
The rehearing Of the case was set
for December IA, before Special Judge
w. w. Graves Of Butler, who presided
in this instance, and the case Of SEN
ator Charlie Smith OF St. Louis city,
indicted at the same time that SEN
ator Farris was indicted, was set for
December 16. This case is also to
come before Judge Graves. Senator
Buell. Matthews Of st. Louis County
is to be placed on trial on a like
charge November 16 before Circuit
Judge James =. HAZEL, he being the
only one of the three indicted Sena-
tors who did not swear the case away
from Judge HAZEL. Whether or not
he will do so when the case is called
or endeavor to secure change OF venue
cannot now be stated.
