American Home journal Plant
in Hands of Chanplin &
Smith, of Chicago.
SATISFIES THE INDEBTEDNESS
Preparing to Resume Publication
Under Ownership of
j. G. Cook.

The American Home journal, the
tri-city magazine which has been
published for the past few months,
has met with financial reverses which
have resulted in the passing of the
plant into the hands of Champlin &
Smith. of Chicago. aNprinters' supply
company, TO satisfy an indebtedness
of $500.
The settlement was made through
Hon. William AlcEniry and an
amicable adjustment of affairs was
arrived at which will probably insure
the resumption of publication under
the editorship Of J. C. Cook. 1t is the
understanding that the Chicago COM
pany is not DESTROYS of stopping the
publication of the paper, but merely
took the step in order to insure the
payment of its claim.
Reorganization Considered
1t is said the outcome Will be the
reorganization of the Home Journal
Publishing company. 1t is understood
that the Champlin q Smith people are
willing to give all assistance to such
an effort. Besides the settlement with
the Chicago company Il number of
other smaller creditors were satisfied
by cash payments, so that the way is
cleared locally for the future.

DIR. SWEET GRANTED A
YEARS LEAVE OF ABSENCE

In view of the rector's continued
i'll health and the request he made
that he be relieved from his duties
altogether or be given a year in
which TO recuperate, the vestry of
Trinity Episcopal church last even
ing decided to grant to DIR. Il. F.
Sweet years vacation.
The wishes of DR.. Sweet were first
made known to the members of the
church goSerning body. last Sunday,
but no action was taken till last ev-
ening, when a special meeting was
held for the purpose of considering
the matter.
The proposition of the rector's res
ignaticn was not entertained, the
question being the length of the res
pite to give him. As he had indicated
that year would meet his wishes,
that term was granted.
During that time DIR. Sweet
viii leave the city, going to
some place where he can hope to re
eeive physical benefit, and it is the
earnest hope of the members of his
parish and of his many outside
friends as we'll that the end of his
vacation period will find him able to
take up the work with his old time
vigor. Arrangements will be made
by the vestry for priest in charge
to serve during the period of DR..
Sweets absence.

augurated at Meeting
Last Evening
HELD AT THE Y. M. @. A. CHAPEL
Work ofOld Association to be Taken
UP This Year-Committee
Named.

A meeting of those interested in
the work of improving the general
appearances of the city was held at
the Y. NJ. c. A. chapel last evening"
when members of the old Improve
ment association, which accomplished
so much last year, and others, includ-
ing number of teachers in the city
schools, were present. Supt. ii. b.
Hayden was chosen president and
Hon. William Jackson, secretary of
last years organization, made the
main address of the evening.
Mr.. Jackson recounted at some
length the manner in which the asso-
citation came to be formed last year
and the work that had been accom-
plished. The fund with which the
prizes that were distributed were
purchased was raised by 30 interested
citizens who agreed to share the cost
This year he suggested that the assoc
citation be formed with n full set of
officers, including president. secre-
tary and treasurer. and with n board
of nine directors and a committee of
three members from each ward. He
deemed it advisable to make the MEM
bership fee as low as 81 SO that as
many as possible might be interested
Prizes I'm Each Ward
In the matter of prizes this year
he felt that it would be better to vary
last years plan of Offering general
prizes for the best single results
throughout the city and give first
second and third prizes in each ward
for the best general effect about the
premises of the parties entering the
competition.
Louis Kohn and Supt. Hayden also
spoke along the same general lines,
and at the conclusion of the addresses
the chair, being authorized, appoint
ed as a committee of five TO make all
preliminary arrangements. Mr.. Kohn.
DIR. w. T. Magill. f. II. Guyer, Miss
Anna kirkpatrick and Miss Mary
Carter.
The above committee will do indi-
vidual work interesting the people of
the wards in the plans and Will short
ly meet to name the ward commit
tees, nominate a corps of officers and
appoint a time for the perfecting of
the general organization.

MintIns,s Return.

Minting, the Marvel, returned. to
London last fall after concluding a
summers engagement with the Adam
Forepaugh and Sells Brothers shows,
and began his second engagement at
the London Aquarium. the great per-
manent exhibition in the worlds me
tropolis When he left the Aquarium
to come to America to join the Fore
paugh-Sells shows he had been exhib-
iting there for two years and seven
months, the longest engagement ever
played by any performer in Europe.
He returned to America again last
spring to begin his second engage
ment with the Forepaugh-Sells shows,
and is now with them, appearing at
every afternoon and evening exhibit
ton. His act is one of the greatest
single circus acts ever known. No
other can compare with it in the eie-
ments of nerve. skill and strength.
He rides a single wheel of a bicycle
up and down a high spiral tower
There are very few bicycle riders who
could ride up a grade so steep on two
wheels. The skill and strength to
ride up and down such grade that is
at no time straight can scarcely be
imagined. There are very few pro-
fessional trick bicycle riders who can
ride a single wheel on a level floor.
He will be here with the Forepaugh-
Sells shows, together with the famous
Diavolo, who loops the loop on BIZ
cycle. the most daring feat ever at
tempted; the Aurora Zouaves. gener-
ally acknowledged the worlds best
drilled soldiers, "a champion bareback
riders, a score of famous aerialists
and an army of clever clowns. The
date of the big aggregation at Daven-
port is Thursday, May 81.

HAMLIx CAN SEE NO DANGERS
Decides That the Bill Has None. or the
Defects Suggested.


Defects Suggested.
At 8 p. m. yesterday Attorney Gen.
eral Hamlin finished his reply to
Governor Yates request as to the legal
effect and operation of the Mueller bill.
After stating that the time was so linn
tied as to make comprehensive opfn-
ion impossible he says that, as to the
first objection in the governors list:
Il am of the opinion that the new
grantee referred to In line 10 will take
under the purchase only the street
railway property which the city had
reserved to he purchased from the old
company and that the new company
will take from the city only such
rights as may then be specifically
granted to it.
Taking the bill as whole it is n
clear declaration of legislative intent
to limit uses of the public streets by
private corporation under any one
grant to a period not exceeding twenty
years, and this general intent, in my
opinion. will not be overthrown by
any forced construction of possible
doubtful expressions contained in the
BILL"
OF the second objection Hamlin says
it will not saddle any more debt on
Chicago than she can lawfully under
take. The same reply he gives, prac-
tically. to number. three of the objec-
tions. TO number four he says the dis
elimination is not unlawful. The fifth
Objection-that the city is required to
pay for what it owns, is dismissed
with; THE city does not purchase its
own right. although it may be pur-
chasing what 1t has heretofore grant
ed" and to the sixth objection he says:
In my opinion this provision is not in
valid upon the grounds suggested"
He closes as follows: Il express no
opinion as To the wisdom of the pass
age of this act. but when it is consid-
cred in connection with the general
provisions of the statute now in force
governing street railways = l
am of the opinion that no serious OBJ
lection can be successfully urged
against its validity"

With the Possible Alternative OF CallinS
an Extra Session.
The governor followed up the forego-
ing by addressing a communication to
"the Honorable the Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and Hon. Daniel Campbell,
Hon. Len Small, Hon. l.. b. Stringer-
Senators-and Hon. John II. Miller.
Hon. Thomas Rinaker, and Hon. ]. P.
Wilson, Representatives" in which
he requested your Influence to post
pone a final adjournment of the pres
ent general assembly to n date not
earlier than Thursday, the ,14th inst"
He then says the reasons for the re-
quest are that there are sixty bills on
his desk, and it might not be possible
for him to examine them all before
the legislatures adjournment-fix
FOR last highland he might desire to
veto some of the bills, and he wanted
the assembly to have an opportunity TO
pass upon his veto. He concludes his
letter as follows: but If adjournment
is insisted upon today, such session,
whit its attendant expense, may be
necessary"

Cone Butte Prospects.

All of the mining sections of Fer
gus county have received more atten-
ton from the press than the Cone
Butte district which is one OIL the old
est in the county. The ores Of this
section are Of sulphide character and
therefore cannot be worked by the
cyanide process. That must be one of
the reasons why the section has not
been doomed more. There are sever
al promising groups of mines in this
district and all that is needed is CAPT.
tai, to make them dividend payers.
Among the mines that are being work
ed at the present time, are Old Chi
cago, owned by w. AZ. Mckee and John
Waite who are driving a tunnel to tap
the vein or sheet of ore. At M time
there was an old Mexican arastar on
the property with which the owners
used to grind out a grub stake. The
greater development work is being
done on the east fork of Maginnis
creek. Here, there is the Fort group,
owned by d. and c. G. Edwards. They
have done considerable development
work and exposed a lead or Vein five
feet In width which runs on an aver
age of 80 per ton. At the present time
they are driving a tunnel into Magin-
mis- peak which will tap the sheet of
ore about $50 feet deep. The Golden
Eagle group, owned by Mr.. James
Murphy, who is one of the old stand
byes in this camp, having Deen here
IA years, is being considerably devel-
oped and making a good showing for
Mr.. Murphy, he having gotten out ore
which assays up into the hundreds.
v. Gies, owner of the Bertha group,
has bonded his property to A. s. and
F E. Wright, who have nad a force
of men at development work for m
time and are opening up a good body
of ore. There are several other pros
poets here which are idle at the pres
ent time. The ore in this section a
