Minnesota Is One OF Sha WeaIthiest
States in The union.

From Mondays Daily,
The state has 100000 to invest in
good bonds within the next month. About
100000 more will be available for SINH
lar investment in three months.
State Treasurer Julius Block Satur-

was authorized to invest by the state
board of investment, which met on Dec.
5, is part of the permanent trust funds.
The money now available is of the uni
versity permanent fund.
Minnesota is today one of the wealth.
est states in the Union. Her trust funds
aggregate nearly $20,0O0,O00, and there
are still large areas of state land and
mining profit from which great deal
of money will be realized each year. In
a recent speech, Governor Van SAINT pro-
phesied that within the next twenty-five
years this fund will have reached $780,
100000.
The funds have been realized from
the sale of state school lands, and swamp
lands, stumpage and the taxes and rent
ais ON the mineral properties on the iron
range. All have contributed largely and
every institution is now backed by good
substantial sums laid aside far rainy
day by the state.
The s2O,OOO,OOO in permanent funds
now held by the state is almost en-
tirely invested in the bonds of other
states. Large quantities of the bonds
|of Alabama, Delaware, Massachusetts,,
Tennessee, Virginia, Utah, Louisiana are
numbered among the states possessions.
These bonds pay all the way from 3A
to 5 per cent. interest.

SEVERE COLD WAVE.
Mercury Drops 10 twenty-five Degrees
Below Zero.

From Mondays Daily.
The cold wave which set in Saturday
proved to be more severe than had been
expected, and no colder weather all win
ter may be expected than that of Satur-
day night. According to The Free Press
self registering thermometer, the tenn
perature Saturday morning at daylight
was one degree above zero, at noon it
was two degrees below zero, and at duck
it was eleven degrees below zero. The
lowest point reached during the night
was twenty five and one-half degrees
below zero but the weather began to
moderate before morning, and at eight
o'clock Sunday morning the mercury
stood at twelve degrees below zero. The
mercury lowered about the zero mark
during the middle of the day, and at
dusk it stood at seven degrees below
zero. The lowest point reached last
night was fourteen degrees below zero,
and at daylight this morning the mer-
curry stood at five degrees below zero.
Following the cold wave there is likely
to be two or three weeks of mild wealth
er, if the usual order of things occur.

DisgruntIed Republicans Form Com.
bination With Democrats.
Scheme Is to Nominate German and
Unite DiscOrdant Elements.
New York Financiers Look Upon the
Plan With Pleasure.
Marylander's Boom Is Expected to Be
Sprung Very Soon
From Mondays Daily.

AoifA AAohooy
A Washington special to The Brooklyn
Eagle says:
! The Eagle correspondent is in posi-
ton to state upon high authority that
a deal has been made involving combi-
nation between the Democrats and Re-
publicans to defeat Roosevelt and elect
Arthur Pue German as president. The
Eagles informant, who is Virginian of
prominence in his party and who is on
terms of close intimacy with leading
Democrats and Republicans, said:
"The great political contest next year
will be between President Roosevelt and
Senator German, and it will be redhot
fight. The Democratic leaders, although
they respect Judge Parker and believe
that he would make an available candi-
date in many respects, are nevertheless
convinced that German is the one man
who can carry Maryland, West Virginia
and New York. They have carefully
canvassed the situation.
"You are aware, probably, that the
most bitter opposition to President
Roosevelt comes from West Virginia
Republicans. These disgruntled Repub-
licans are for German If German is
nominated, Former United States Sena-
tor Davis, the father-i n-law of Stephen
B. Elkins, will be nominated for COVER
nor and the powerful Elkins- Davis com
bination will throw all it's strength in
favor of the Maryland man.
'The leaders of Tammany hall under
stand the intentions of this new combi-
nation and Leader Murphy, no matter
what he may say, wants, and when the
time comes, will insist so far as he can
ON the nomination of Senator German
for president. The nti-Roosevelt Repub-
icans who have been sounded say that
they are entirely satisfied with German,
his attitude in the senate, having been
extremely conservative, particularly on
the tariff question, and the Republicans
believe that ne can be trusted not to rev.
olutionize things if he gets into the
White House. As one of these anti
Roosevelt men puts it, German is good
enough Republican for us. He is Demo
crat all tight, but he has never turned
against TIE great financial and business
interests of the country
"The big financiers of New York, who
are opposing Roosevelt and who now see
that they cannot prevent his nomination,
regard the German movement with pleas
ure, and many mugwumps who dislike
the president on account of his foreign
policy will, the German people think, be
apt to vote for him if Roosevelt is nomi-
mated as the Republican standard bearer.
"The German movement is being car
ried on with great secrecy. When he re-
CARDS the time as ripe his friends will
seriously take up his own boom and will
not let go of it until the convention Sc
lects the candidates"

DRINKS MUST WORK.
County Jail No Longer To Be a
Coveted Winter Resort.
From MONDAYS Daily.

From Mondays Daily.
Sheriff Williams has received permits
sion from the county board to purchase
a couple of saws and have the prisoners
who are serving sentences in the county
Jail saw the forty cords of wood that is
piled up ON the Jail lot for the use of that
building during the winter. The men will
also be put at work cleaning snow from
the sidewalks about the court house
square.
This move on the part of Sheriff Will
Jams is a commendable one. There is
certain class that seek to be supported
by the county or city and are glad to
get into the county jail in order to pass
the winter months. They will not work
at honest labor, and it is "snap" for
them to be sentenced to the county jail
for thirty or sixty days, but it is not
such a snap for the tax payers when they
come to pay the bills.
If these people know that work awaits
them in the jail as well as outside of it
they will not be so apt to seek to re-
turn to it, and the county can make
some good out of them in the way of
labor.
The police department of the city is
also thinking of asking the council for
permission to use tramps in the park
work during the coming summer. The
idea is to have the park men or an Off
Ger watch them and have them do some
of the road work and raking of leaves,
ETC., now done at the expense of the
city. They could be employed to fix
up the Willard parkway, and after they
have worked for day or two they could
be allowed to run away over the hills.
In a very short time tramps would give
Manllato the go-by.

Politics Will Be Interesting in Blu
Earth County.

From Saturdays Daily.
Politics in Blue Earth county promise
to ego some" next year. Already the
politicians are framing up for some in
teresting developments. The Free Press
several weeks ago stated that w. A.
Funk would be candidate for county at
torney, and it is possible that several
other lawyers will seek the place, and
Wilson, will try for another term.
Another interesting piece of political
gossip that has reached The Free Press
is that T. w. Hart may become candi-
date for the position of county treasurer.
At least his name has been mentioned
in connection with the place. and it may
that he may be induced by his friends to

Several CANNES Put 10 Death by
Unknown Party,

From Mondays Daily.
Five dogs during the past few days
have been shot by some unknown person
in the vicinity of the home of w. j.
Merchant on Liberty street. Mr.. More
hart has thus lost his fine setter dog for
which he would not have taken a hun
dred dollars. The poor little pug dog of
M. E. Gardner of South Fourth street
was shot through the intestines and died
a pitiful death. A large fine shepherd
dog has been found shot dead in this
same vicinity. All the shooting seems
to have been done by the same person.
All the wounds it appears have been in
ficted with bullets from twenty two

MERGER CASE AN ISSUE.
Wall Street Journal Says Victory for
the Roads Would Mean a Re-
publican Defeat.

NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-The Wal
Street Journal quotes the president OF
a large Independent bank as saying:
Il do not believe in the theory ad-
vanced by some of the Northern Sc
curitieS people, that a decision by the
supreme court against the company
would greatly depress the stock mar
ket. l think that whatever effect a
decision against the Northern Securi-
ties Company might have has already
been discounted There might be a
temporary furry, but it would not last
long, nor do much damage.
Moreover l am firmly of the opin-
ion that, in the long run, Wall street
will be greatly benefited by decision
against the Northern Securities COM
pany. In fact nothing would be
more disastrous to its interests than
the legal upholding of the monopoly
idea in railroads. The effect upon
the people would be very bad, and ma
tionaliza ton of the railroads might he
the least of the consequences of their
revolt.
Il confess that I am very much in
terested in the question of the prob
able political results of a decision in
favor of the Northern Securities COM
pany. AS l figure it out, such a de-
cision would elect a democrat as pres
ident. The people, l think, would
overlook the fact that Roosevelt tried

their anger against the trusts, would
elect a democrat as the best way, in
their opinion, of attacking them. A
decision against the company will

States under the treaty of 1916 were
so large that "it is a matter of grave
question" whether it is now necessary
to obtain treaty for the purpose of
building the canal. High authorities
on international law hold that the
canal can be dug as an incident to
exercising the power to prevent the
obstruction of traffic across the 18TH
mus.
The president then pointed out that
the canal cannot be built by a private
company and that the United States
would not permit it to be built by a
foreign power. Therefore, he said
the work must be done by the United
States.
In the next paragraph the president
said that in his judgment the time had
arrived when congress should declare
the beginning of the canal must not
be much longer delayed but pointed
out that whatever was done must be
with due regard for governments OF
the isthmus. But" he added, the
that it, too, has vital interests at stake
and that in this enterprise we are
serving as trustees of all the civilized
peoples of the EARTH"
The recommendation which the
president had prepared was that the
United States must consider the whole
situation, reach a decision as to its
course, and then, not under any con-
sideration, permit it to be interfered
with, exactly as under the law Of en-
inent domain we refuse to permit the
building of a railroad to be interfered
with by any little group Of greedy or
unreasonable private individuals. Said
he:
I'VE should serve notice that we can
no longer submit to trifling or insin
cere dealing on the part of those whom
the accident of position has placed in
control of the ground through which
the route must pass; that if they will
come to an agreement with us in
return act not only with justice, but
with generosity: and that if they fail
to come to such an agreement with us
we must forthwith take the matter in
to our own hands.

Roosevelt had dictated the last para

UNITED STATES NOT MIXED IN
SECESSION OF PANAMA., SO
Mr.. WELLMAN STATES.
President Roosevelt at Time was En-
gagged in Formulating His
Canal Policy.

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-Walter Well
man, in a Washington special to the
Record Herald says:
That the American government had
no hand in fomenting secession upon
the isthmus is cOnclusively shown by
an important disclosure which l am
permitted to make upon authority. AT
the very time the isthmian revolution
was brewing President Roosevelt was
engaged in formulating his canal pol
icy, and the secession Of Panama was
not in any way a part Of it.
President Roosevelt not only re-
solved that he would not lend the
slightest encouragement to the 18th
mians who were talking of revolt, a
resolution which he faithfully and
scroupulously adhered to throughout,
but that he would take no action what
ever on his own responsibility, and
that he would appeal to congress to
formulate a policy and authorize the
executive to proceed
President Roosevelt returned to
Washington September 80. Soon there
after he began work on his message.
Perusal of this first rough draft af-
fords proof positive that the president
had no thought or plan of encourage
ing a revolution at Panama.
The recommendation which the
president was preparing to make to
congress was that the United States,
through its laW-making power should
declare to the world and to Colombia
that it Intended to go ahead and dig
the canal, preferably by Colombia ac-
cepting the just and generous treat
ment which the United States was
willing to accord it, but if these prof
ers were refused then by force if
necessary.
The greater part of the first draft
of the message relating to the canal
was written during the last week in
October. and the independence of Pa
