Death Of John BorriII.

John Brill, one, of the oldest
settlers of this county and also OF this
state, died at his home in this city
last Monday morning at 9 o'clock,
the principal cause of his death being
the infrmities due to old age.
The funeral was held from the
resid ence Wednesday forenoon at
1O:30,all of his ten living children be-
ing present. tt g services were con-
Quoted by Rev. F. Marion Wright,
pastor of the local NJ. E. church, and
were largely attended by many
sorrowing friends of the deceased
The pail bearers were H. H. Wells,
o. G. Hanson, George Munro, Geo.
Darling, A. A. Stone and II. 0. Eames
Deceased was Sc years of age, hav.
ing been born in Lincolnshire, Eng
land, March 18th 1918. There he
spent bis boyhood and early man
hood, and there he was married in
May, l849, to Ann Holmes, who sur
wives him. In 1851 he came to this
country, settling at White Pigeon
Mich, where he lived for two years.
In April, 1854, he removed to near
Hastings, Minnesota, where he pur-
chased farm near that city, at that
time hardly more than trading post
He was thus among the very earliest
settlers of this state, and saw all the
hardships of pioneer life. His son,
George was the first white child born
in Dakota county.
In April, 1876, Mr., Borriil came to
Stevens county and homesteaded the
northeast quarter o section q in the
town of Rendsville. His family
followed in the. fall. On this farm
they lived until they removed to
Morris about four years ago
During his long residence in this
county, MIR. Borrill has never made
an enemy, and has been held in the
highest respect. He lays down ife's
burdens with the knowledge of dut-
les we'll performed.
Besides his wife. deceased is sur
vived by ten children, two of his
children having died in infancy.

ed, much testimony being introduced
and extended arguments made. The
defendants were represented by For
mer Commissioner of the Land Office
| Stockslager OF Washington, Thomas
Kneeland of Minneapolis and Judge
M. A. Spooner of the Fifteenth and
! S. A. Flaherty of the Sixteenth judi
cial districts, that being previous TO
their appointments.
After thorough consideration Judge
Webber sustained the claims of the
plaintiff. The cases we're then ap
pea led to the state supreme court, re-
sulting in an affirmance of his decis-
ion, the opinion in June, 1902. It is
terse but exhaustive treatment of the
entire subject of land great jurispru-
dence, evincing great familiarity with
the subject, as we'll as much erudition
in the application of legal principles.
From this decision the defendants
carried the cases by writs of error to
the supreme court of the United
States, where they were set for hear
ing at the present October term.
M eanwhile additional interest at
tsched to the cases because of the
intervening decision of that court in
case arising under the Northern
Pacific charter, in which it was held
that indemnity Withdrawals In it's
favor had been void and Intellectual
from the beginning.
This inspired the settlers with the
confident expectation that the same
result would follow in their case, but
they were doomed to disappointment,
The cases came on for hearing be-
fore the full bench on Nov. 8 and the
court gave close attention thruout,
They were argued in behalf of the
plaintiffs-in error, the settlers, by
Judge Stockslanger and Mr.. Knee
land, and for the defendant-in error.
Mr.. O'Conner, representing Archbis-
hop Ireland, by former Senators
Hiram F. Stevens and E. T. Young.
On Nov. 16 the court took it's usual
L thanksgiving recess, reconvening
yesterday, This evidently afforded |
pportunity for the unusually early I
decision, which was handed down at
yesterdays session.
The decision afirms that of the
state supreme court and fully sustains
the opinion of Judge Collins, 1t is
a complete victory for Archbishop
Ireland, confirming the title of his
grantees, besides settling questions of
great moment that have arisen in re.

The Money Taken From Tin Can
i'm Farmers Home

The Money Taken From a Tin Car
in Farmers Home.
Because he thought banks an un-
safe place to keep money Queen Lohr
a farmer living about eight miles out
on the Herman road, is out $3.50 in
cash.
Friday night last Lohr and his
wife and small child were rendered
IN conscious by gas from coal stove
The discovery was made by his son,
boy about II years old, Saturday
morning coming down stairs at the
usual hour the lad found his father
and mother unconscious. Opening
the doors and windows he r,n 10 a
neighbours for help. A phvsicia u
was summoned from GraceVille, and
by dint of hard work succeeded in
placing all beyond danger. The
doctor paced the blame for the
tro uFle on coal gas that escaped
from ard coal burner.
Saturday night the lad discovered
that a lock on one of the doors YVES
broken. This aroused the suspic-
ions Of Lohr, and be at once sougat
the hiding place of his money-a tin
can in the pantry-and founu tire
money had disappeared. It was
then surmised that chlcrofGrm
was the agent that rendered the peo-
pie insensible. Officers went out to
investigate, but found nothing tangi
BILE to work on.
It is said that Lohr was urged to
deposit the money in the bank at he
time be cashed the check. He refus.
ed on the ground that he had lost
ISL 900 at one time and 81, 800 at an
other.

RTS OF IRON ND STEAL HEAVY
TOTAL FOR FISCAL YEAR OF 1908 LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY PRECEDING YEAR SINCE THE YEAR 1891.

Washington, July 31.-Importations of iron and steel into the United States in the
 fiscal year 1903 are larger than in any
 preceding year since 1891, and with that
 single exception are larger than at any
 time within the past twenty years. In
 only seven earlier years in the history of the country have the importations of iron and steel been as large as those of the fiscal year just ended
 The total value of iron and steel im- ported in the fiscal year ended June 30. 1903, as shown by the figures of the de- partment of commerce and labor through its bureau of statistics, is $51, ,617, SIP against $27, ,1SO,247 in 1902, $17,S747s9 in 1901 and $12,- 100, 40 in 1899. Running back through the import record from 1850 down to 1903 the only years in which the value of iron and steel imports exceeded those of 1903 are 1872, when the total was s55.54O1Ss; s5s, s,71AOOs; 1ss1 s60,6O4,477; 1882. se7,97e,s97; 1883, $5s,495,246, and 1891, s5s s544,272.
 These large importations of iron and steel have occurred, It will be seen, in periods of exceptional business activity, but on no former occasion have such large importations been made in the face of so great home production or iron and steel. In 1891, when the importations were $2,000, GOO greater than in thes year just ended, to total home production or pig iron was only $500 GOO tons, while that or 1901 was over 1700O,0O tons, or double that of 1891. In the period from 1880 to 1885, when the importations of iron and afaa Ia nf iron production only ayaeaged about 100000 tons per annum, or less than one-fourth the annual production of the present time; and in 1872 and 1873, when the importations slightly exceeded those of 1903, the pig iron production averaged only 2,50O00O tons annually, against IT, ,OOO at the present time
 This large increase in the importation of iron and steel IS chiefly in the partially manufactured grades. Pig iron increas- ed from 15S, 900 tons in 1902 to 956,O00 tons in 1903, the value being in 1902 less than s1 500 900, and in 1903 nearly $17000,000. Bar Iron increased from 49,0OO,OOO pounds in 1902 to 96 00OO, 900 in 1903; and steel ingots, blooms, slabs, billets and bars from 202,7 000.000 pounds to S50,000,000 pounds the value increasing from $3,500,0 GOO in 1902 to nearly $10,OO0,0OO in 1903. Steel rails in- creased from $371, 452 to $2,S741sS and scrap Iron and steel, fit only for remanu- facture, increased from S76S, ,753 to S2019,- 25S. These five classes of iron and steel pig iron, scrap iron. bar iron, steel rails and steel ingots. blooms, billets and bars-when combined show an increase in 1903. as compared with 1902 of s24296,- 427, while the total increase in all im- ports of iron and steel during the year Is $24, 4370S5. The one class of importa- tions of iron and steel which shows a marked reduction is tin plates, of which the total importation fell from 199 GOO, 900 pounds inI 1902 to no, 100000 pounds in 1903, and the value from s6, 100000 in 1902 to a little over s3,000,0O0 in 1903.

BAY ANNETTE.
Novel Plan for Running Saloon Is
 Proposed.

Bay Minette. July S1.-(Special. 1.-The question of a dlspensary for Bay Minette was discussed while the first term of the present legislature was in session, but no definite action was taken as the represen- tative for the county was opposed to the measure Now that the legislature will soon reconvene the talk has been re- newed, and if it Is not successful, it is said a movement is on foot to establish a saloon six miles from the court house, a special law having been passed several years ago prohibiting the sale of liquors within six miles of Bay Minette also on the north side of the L. and N. railroad. The idea of the gentlemen who have the saloon question under consideration is to run a hack every few hours from Bay Minette out to the saloon, and by that means make it good paying business. There is no question but that a dispen- sary would be far better for the town than an open saloon within six miles. A large number of the representative citi- zens want the dispensary.

 There were marked gains in the trac- tions, particularly Metropolitan securi- ties. Consolidated Gas. General Electric and Tennessee Coal were among the spe- cialties that advanced a point or more, but the pressure against certain other stocks in that group was but little re- laxed

COMPANIES MUST DIVIDE.
Insurance Commission Decides That
 Surplus Should Be Distributed.

Milwaukee, Wis. July S1.-The Sentinel tomorrow will say:
 Insurance Commissioner Host yester- day decided that mutual insurance com panies doing business in Wisconsin must distribute their surplus among policy holders at least once in five years. The decision affects many companies in this country and involves some $500 900, GOO which has been withheld by companies do- ing business in Wisconsin.
 That the stand of Mr Host will be fought by the insurance companies, there is no doubt. The outcome of the case has been watched for months by every com pany in the country If the commission Is sustained by the courts. it will make 1t possible for heirs of dead people to claim surpluses and compound interests that have been withheld According to an insurance man, an endless litigation is probable. The kind of policies that will be affected to the greatest extent are those known as the "tontine," wherein policy holder and insurance company enter into a contract by the terms of which the earnings of the policy are to be paid at the end of a term of years, generally twenty"
