Banks Of Minneapolis Are Well

Banks of Minneapolis are not at present
particularly interested in the subsidiary
coin bill before congress. In other words
Minneapolis experiences no shortage in
small coins. Occasionally it is necessary
to send to the subtreasury for dollar
pieces. but of the smaller coins there is
always a surplus. and occasionally ship

OLD BILLS UNPAID
Phone Company's Claim Against
CITY for 1902 Allowed.

The disposition of the Ames administra-
ton to allow bills to run as long as posi-
BILE was reflected at the meeting Of the
council police committee this morning
when bills from the Northwestern Tele-
phone company, payable in 1901 and 1902,
aggregating $500, were allowed.
The actual amount of the company S
claim for phones in hfty-nfne patrol
boxes was 1926, at the rate of 81 a phone.
As the company is now charging but IS
for such phones, Secretary Frank Nc
Donald protested against paying the 81
extra per phone with such success that
the company representatives agreed to
knock off 1895. The telephone bill for the
two years was just twice as much as all
other outstanding claims against the city
for the month.

Forced Labor. In. South Africa.

The demand of mine owners III South
Africa for cheap af1d plentiful labor has
resulted In the London papers charging
that Forced labor in South Africa is
slavery. 2 This charge has awakened
a storm of reprpacfes in the Transvaal,
where in the midst of half>a million blacks
.laborers have to be imported for the
sugar, coffee and tea plantations. The in
llabitants refuse to call forced labor sIav-
cry and see no other way to save their
plantations. Willing laborers are made

Washburn Crosby's Buffalo Mill
Will Be Run by Steam.

The Washburn Crosby company has de-
termned to employ steam power for its
new {, 00e- barrel mill at Buffalo. Invests
cation showed that electricity was too ex-
.pensive. especially for SO large plant
The Buffalo Power company, by furnish
ing it in small units for varied purposes,
derives a higher price than it would DO
worth to drive mill.
1T is not impossible that the company
will want to build another mill in Buffalo

electricity could be tried.

There are some enterprising business men in New Orleans. About seventy five of them. representing nearly all lines of trade and manufacture, have chartered a special steamer and will 50 to Porto Rico and spend several weeks on that island. They have in advance interested the Porto Ricans in their visit and are assured a cordial re- ception by the business men of the isl- and. The principal cities will be visited, the island thoroughly inspected, and the Louisianians will endeavor to become thoroughly acquainted with its re- sources and it's needs.
 Porto Rico has 100000 inhabitants, and New Orleans is favorably situated for getting much of their trade. It has taken good way to get it, and its en- terprise deserves the reward of merit.

SOME FUN IA KANSAS.

They know how to have fun in Kan sas, even if they don't have symphony orchestras and things. There are some who do have symphony orchestras and things who would have been glad to be present at the fiddling contest in Elm poria last week. No "violinists" took forty or over one hundred years old were also excluded. For judges, three citizen of irreproachable character were selected, but they did not under take to decide the merits of the fid- ding. The audience did that, and the judges merely determined which con- testant got the most applause. All the old fiddlers (there were twenty of theln) sat on the platform. and be- tween selections they played the old tunes softly to one another. and did little musical tricks on their instru- ments, Among the tunes played were: Kings Head" Beef Steak" "Natchez on the Hill," Dixie" Fish CTS Hornpipe," "The Arkansas Tray eller," "Old Hen a-Cacklin'," Pig town," '"The Devils Dream Sugar in the Gourd," Leather Brooches" "Cin- cinnati Hornpipe," and Game to a 1 River and Couldn't Get Across"
 The winner in the contest was Uncle Jehu Truman, who is 82 years old, and there was no doubt about his supe- riority. When his turn came he got up, took off his coat and collar, and gave a short autobiography before begin ming to play. He said he was born in 1920 in West "Virginy' on the Fourth of July. He announced that he was not old Jehu, the swift runner, but old Jehu, the fast fiddler and announced as his first selection, Sugar in the Gourd." It was evident that Uncle Jehu was going in to win. He began with the confidence which is sure of success. He got all of the motion out of the selection there was in 1t and then threw in some variations. In- stead of sitting down, as the other con- testants had done, he showed the audi ence how it was done in "Virginy," /" standing up and keeping time with both feet. MT. Truman's style took at once with the audience, which could hardly curb its enthusiasm until the end of the selection. After Mir. Tru- man had finished the audience ap- plauded wildly, and he responded with "The Arkansaw Traveller" After "The Arkansaw Traveller was completed the audience wasn't satisfied, so Mr. Truman again responded with Leather Breeches." The crowd still wanted more after that, but Mr Tru- man declined, that the entertainment might proceed.
 They are going to have more such contests in Emporia, and they are tc be congratulated, Emporia may not be or become "a musical center" but 1t knows what good music is.
