Special to The Journal.
Mankato, MINI, Feb. 2O.-It is UNI
derstood that Public EXAMINER S, 4.
Johnson, mailed from this city last
night, a letter to P, A. Gunders, sec
.ond assistant bank examiner, request,
ing his designations Altho MIR. john
son had ample reason for such action
on other grounds, he was prompted
mainly by disclosures made in this
city this week.
Two deputy examiners have been
checking over the office Of the county
auditor. Mr.. rGunders held that posi-
ton from 1895 to 1900, and in that
period it has been found that changes
were made on warrants, originally
drawn on the salary account for Cum
iders. The name and purposes of the
warrant seems to have been erased
and names Of other, officials inserted.
| No erasures were made on the stubs,
which therefore fail to correspond.
| The deputies find that Gunders over
drew his salary account, but: seems to
have made the record straight in this
| way. i, - ~.
| The facts have been laid before the
county commissioners, who adopted
resolutions yesterday afternoon, d.
recting q full investigation Of the Of
flee, and asking the county attorney
| to bring an action.to recover whatever
moneys are found to be due. The
resolutions state that it plainly APP
pears that the records have been fa1si-
/ fed. No other Irregularities were
found; and 1t Is. believed that the
| county will not lose anything.

WILD DAY in
WHEAT MARKET
MAY JUMPS TO $1.0s AND JULY TO
$1.O2s4.
Chicago and New York Even Higher
Foreign Markets Are in State of
Semipanic - Conservative Traders
Regard Situation as Extremely
Dangerous.
A wild day in wheat!

A wild day in wheat!
May wheat in Minneapolis jumped
to $1:o3 and July went from 995se to
$1.O2A. .
Chicago wheat ran away from the
trade, and, advancing by leaps and
bounds, struck $1.O7. This put Chi
cagoz even above New York, where
May halted at; $1.O4A, and put it out
Of line with Minneapolis also.
. The bulge was due to heavy new
public came in this morning as never
before. Trade was of enormous
The foreign markets, scared by con-
tinued talk Of war possibilities, were
all up, London, Liverpool, Antwerp,
Berlin, Paris and Budapest coming
higher. Cable advices were to the eff
feet that the securities markets were
upset, the Paris bourse in a state Of
semipanic, and the. London stock
market very irregular. Japanese,
Chinese Spanish and Russian bonds
were lower, and English consols down
to 85B, the lowest point touched in
thirty years. All this affected, the
grain markets, for if there is to be a
great war: breadstuff prices will
naturally rise.
Conservative traders view the mar
ket now as extremely dangerous, and
predict that setback even now over
due, will come some time when least
expected and bring on a panic. - No
one will sell wheat, except an oc-
casional holder, satisfied. with his
profits, and when new orders to. buy
come in, brokers have to bid: up the
market to draw out offerings.
So long as these conditions remain
and new people keep coming in, as
at present, prices will soar higher and
| higher, but should the thousands OF
holders some day turn in to take their
profits and get out, a terrific fall
| might follow.

'T don't think the United States will

DR.. w. W. F'olwell, professor of inter-
national law, at the university, when
asked for his opinion to-day.
. 'The policy Of the United States is

'.and not to interfere with the affairs
Of other nations unless our rights and
interests are threatened. This Is the
essences Of the Monroe doctrine. A
combination Of Russia, France and
Germany may force Great Britain into
war, and it will be for the United
Estates government to consider wheth-
er, If England Is getting the worse of
it, the United States, which is now an
Asiatic power, can sit still and see
China parcelled out among the three
powers mentioned.
eff the combination of powers men
toned should seem likely to obtain

WHO'LL FOLLOW TRIGGs?
Dr.. Burton Mentioned for. Place

The retirement Of Professor Oscar
t.. Triggs from the faculty Of the Uni
versity of Chicago and the almost sim
ultaneous failure Of the publishing
firm of Lothrop & Co., for, which DR..
Richard Burton has been the reader,
have prompted the suggestion that to
DR.. Burton would be offered the va
cant position.
inquiry discloses, however, that
Professor Triggs received only $4,000
a, year, and as DR.. Burton s salary with
the University Of Minnesota was much
larger than that, and as he was recelv-
ing $4,000 q year from the publish
ing house, it is not regarded as likely
that the University of Chicago can Of
fer him a position which would tempt
him. 80 - -,
Advices from Chicago say that no
reasons for the retirement of Profess
sor Triggs are given by President. Har-
per, or the board of trustees. Profes-
sor >Triggs says he is as much IN the
dark concerning the reasons for :. NJ
dismissal as anyone could be. Pro
lessor Triggs, it is added, has been

While. Deputy Sheriff AL Woodcocll
was hot on the trail Of what he be-

miles away from Minneapolis. He
became SO Interested that he didn't
stop for supper and when he was
called UP by Mr.. Jones and ordered to
report at his house at once he re-
belled. Finally, as a personal favor,
he agreed to go and when he got there
we'll, he said several things.
