Fields, Are Closely Watched.

Nearly two hundred laborers who
have returned, to Minneapolis from the
wheat fields because there is no en-
ployment will, it is feared, make trouble
Superintendent Conroy said this
morning that he had visited the lodg-
inghouses to keep track Of the men,
and that most Of them were practically
penniless. There is not much work in
tho city, and a crusade Of petty stealing
becomes imminent.
Mr.. ,Conroy noticed three mon in one
house who acted gsuspiciously and who
in low tones seemed to be making some
bargain. Yesterday these three men
were arrested .for&highway robbery. In
Conroy's opinion, there are many such
characters in the. last bunch Of men
are nipped in the bud the police and
courts will be saved a great deal Of
trouble.

facts. First, Of an average of 71,O00

BABES BODY FOUND
A Little White Coffin Evidently Dug up
by Dogs,

The skeleton Of a 4-months old child
was found in the woods near Snail
lake, nine miles north of st. Paul, yes
was vvaa1f found a small small white coffin. None
of the neighbors knows anything of the
identity Of the remains. They were re-
moved to st. Paul and will be inferred
in the potters' field. Indications are
that the child died natural death and
was buried in an out-of-the-waY place
to void notoriety or expense. The cas-
ket appears to have been dug up by
dogs.

The d. A. =. Campfire.

The annual campfire and supper OF
the local G.. A. R. and w. R. G. was
held as announced, Tuesday evening,
in their rooms in the Hoffman block
The supper was largely patronized and
was fine one. The ladies OF the re-
lief corps handled the crowd promptly
and without confusion, and 1t was
really one of the most satisfactory
suppers served to the public in long
time.
At the campfire following, Thomas
Reed of Arlington, state commander,
was the first and principal speaker. He
gave patriotic and interesting ad-
dress and was followed by Col. j. L.
Jolly OF Vermillion. Miss Edith Reeves,
also OF yermillion, gave a couple of
suitable recitations, which were we'll
received. A quartette of veterans,
Ed. Woods, Emory Morris, s. w Hoff.
man and e B. Wilson, rendered sew.
eral selections which surprised and
pleased the audience, The proceeds
amounted to a little over 10000. which
will leave snug little sum for the use
OF the post and corps after the ex
penses are provided for. Ii was very
enjoyable evening and program.

Germany appears to be acquiring
American methods in fiscal affairs, the
latest instance Of note being the con-
solidation of the Dresden bank and the
Schaafhausen Bankverein, both Ber-
lin banks having an aggregate cap
ital OF ST, 900 600. With the single ex-
ception of the Bank of England, the
consolidated Berlin banks have larger
capital than any banking institution OF
the world. The consolidation does not
mean the discontinuance Of either bank
ing house. They will be operated sep
arately. and the earnings win be pool
ed and divided in proportion to the cap
ital and reserve fund OF each. The
agreement is for a continuance Of the
consolidation scheme for thirty yeaps.

RELIEF COMING SOON.

The following gentle reminder comes
from Bro. Bruce of the Elk Point
COURIER:
Hanna will again announce his in
tentions next week, say the democratic
newspapers. So Col. Linn OF the Cam
ton Leader last winter was going to
announce his candidate for governor
as soon as the Legislature adjourned,
but he hasn't done it yet.
There lie some difference between
Mark Hanna, and the Leaders candi'
date, yet they are close friends. Mark
says he is not candidate and the
Leaders, candidate has not been pres
sed for a proclamation like unto thai
which Mr.. Crawford hurled at the peo-
pile up in Huron. The Leader expects
to be able to say something pretty soor
which will satisfy Bro. Bruce and
other gentlemen who have taken Z
kindly interest in our splendid candi
date Conto1s Leader.

our COLD WEATHER.

The last week has been the longest
spell of continuous cold weather this
country has seen for large number OF
years. The mercury has ranged each
morning from 0 to % below and kept to
steady cold weather day and night.
Fortunately there has been little wind
and consequently no suffering or loss
to speak OF with stock. In this connec.
tion Ii is pleasing to note that the
Sioux City dailies Saturday contained
in adjoining columns reports from
Dead wood claiming this to be the mild
est winter ever known there, and dis
patches from New York state OF mer
lcury ait 30 to 40 below zero, twenty ode

things still TO be thankful for Lii thIi
land of the banana belt and the shean

CASUALTIES ON AMERICAN RAILROADS

The recent shocking railroad acci-
DENTS, notably the one which lately
occurred on the Baltimore and Ohio In
which over sixty lives were lost, en-
phasize the need Of critical investiga-
ton into the methods of American rail-
road management The references
which the interstate commerce commits
SION makes to this subject in its an
nual report further illustrates the press
Ing need OF energetic remedial action,
The commission again finds that the
loss Of life and property through col
lisions is the most prominent fact in
this years record of accidents. In the
year under review the collisions in the
United States aggregated the enormous
total OF 5,219, including ten cases In
which seven or more persons were kill
ed, these ten collisions alone causing
1O4 deaths. The frightful record would
be bad enough to justify careful in
vestigation even If 1t were exceptional
| bat the worst feature of the matter is
4
that such record is by no means I'M
usual. The report says:
| These fatalities are due TO causes which
| have never been adequately considered by
any department OF government, either OF
| the United States or of any of the states,
and there is q crying need for such con-
| saderation.
Discussing the frequency of railroad
accidents. the Chicago Daily News
says:
Judging from the character OF some oi
the recent accidents, however, the adop-
ton of the block system will not provide
the only safeguard necessary. If genera
IAxness, disregard for safety, willingness
10 take risks and negligence in the en-
| 1orcement of rules and regulations arr
| any criterion the whole system needs 1
thorough overhauling.
In his recent message Presiden
Roosevelt called attention TO the desir
ability OF enlarging the present law re
| garding the use Of safety appliances o.
railroads. His Recommendations. re
enforced by the report of the interstate
commerce commission, should lead con
gress TO go into the question Of prac
tical railroading methods, with the viev
OF compelling the adoption of plans an,
devices which will make railway trav
el reasonably safe.

FOOTWEAR FOR THR WORLD.

As Indicated by report Of the bu-
reau Of statistics of the department OF
commerce and labor, there Is steady
growth of exports of boots and shoes
from the United States. and for the cal
endar year 1903 they aggregated more
than 100000 in value. In 1893 they
were less than sT50,O00 In value.
Few of the important articles enter
Ing into our export trade show more
rapid growth In exports or a wider dis
tribution than boots and. shoes. More
than sixty countries and colonies are
named as the destination OF the boots
and shoes exported from the United
States In the year about to end ing
land, Germany. France. Belgium, Dem
mark and Netherlands, In the order
named, are the chief European custom
ers, and to Europe are sent more than
one-third OF our total exports Of boots
and shoes.
In North America Canada, Mexico,
Cuba and the British West Indies are
the largest consumers of our boots and
shoes. while the South and Central
American countries also take greater
or less quantities, though not In pro.
portion to the amounts taken by the
West Indian islands, Mexico and Can
ada. Australia is a large importer OF
boots and shoes from the United States
nearly one-sixth of our exports In that
line being to British Australia.
The United States now stands easily
second In the list OF the worlds ex,
porters OF boots and shoes, while nm
examination of the relative growth OF
exports of this class of merchandise
from the United Kingdom and the
United States respectively Justifies the
conclusion that we shall soon overtake
that friendly rival in the race for this
contribution to the worlds wants and
consumption
