Saturday Evening,

that more than ever before the world is
depending upon Argentine to hold her
own. The season is near at hand when
the Argentine reports will begin COM
ing, and theirseffeet upon prices is likely
to be greater than in the past.
Argentine is not great wheat coun-
try, in the sense of large production,
yet is second to none this year in i'm
portance, as the bulk of the 100,000,000
bushels that she should produce this sea-
son, will go for export as usual. Any
thing operating to impair her yield
would stir the commercial world from
end to end.

around, and even were there no higher
grain prices and no heavier movement,
the financial showing would be favor
able one. As it is, money is pouring
into the northwest and crop situation,
that, in it's early outline, promised a
dull and hesitating tone in trade for
fall, has been pressed into the back
ground by the flow Of currency into the
country. The purchasing power Of the
country tributary to Minneapolis was
never so great, and the general outlook
could scarcely be more favorable, all
things considered 1t is time to rele-
gate the crop-loss stories to the rear
and get in line with the increasing

Next Wednesday the supreme court
bench will have an unusual look. The
mandamus action Of the democratic state
central committee against Secretary of
State Hanson will be heard before a
court consisting of Chief Justice Start,
Justice w. b. Douglas, Judge Brill of St.
Paul, Judge F. G. Brooks of Minneapolis,
and Judge P. E. Brown of Luverne. ~ ..
F. The last three judges have been des-
1gnated by Governor Van SAINT to take
part In the hearing of this case. Justice
G. l.. Brown, who is the bone of conten-
ton in the case is barred from taking
part, and so are Justices Lewis and Love-
ly, one being a candidate on the republi-
can ticket, and the other on the demo-
cratic.
The interest of the democratic commit
tee in the case is very evident. Their
nominees for the terms beginning in
1905, are Brown, Lovely and Otis. The
republican nominees are Brown, Lewis
and Elliott. Brown has already filed as
republican, and unless he Is also rec
ognized on the ballot as a democratic
nominee, the democrats will have only
two candidates. Democratic voters woulC
then be likely to vote for Lewis or Elliott
rather than Brown, and this would in

Highland CHURCH
SURE TO BE MOVED

The Congregational meeting at the
church last Wednesday evening was
perhaps more largely attended than
any ever held before. 1t showed the
deep interest manifested by the people
in the proposed removal of the church.
Rev. w. Lowry acted as moderator and
Robert: Garrioch was appointed clerk.
The committee appointed at a previous
meeting to look: up a site reported that
the News Tribune had agreed to make
a trade for two lots on Palmetto street,
half way between the school and Mr..
Woods home for the lot upon which
the church is now located. The propo-
sition was accepted by a unanimous
vote. A finance committee consisting
Of w. E. McEwen, Herbet Wilson,,
Robert Garrioch, Mrs. VIM. Donaldson
and Mrs. J. H. Tomlin were appointed
to raise money for the purpose of re-
moving and remodelling the church.
The board Of Trustees held a meeting
Immediately after the congregational
meeting and voted to secure bids for
the removal of the church. It is ex-
pected that work will begin on the re-
mOval as soon as the snow is off the
ground. A loan not to exceed $3.50 will
be asked from the Presbyterian Board
of Church Erection.

AUSTRIANS STONE
THE KINGS PALACE

VIENNA, March 16.-The palaces Of
Emperor Francis Joseph and the Arch
Duchess Clothide at Budapest were
stoned by a mob yesterday evening,
resulting in the windows being broken,
because the buildings were not decor
ated in honor of the anniversary Of the
revolution Of 184S. A great crowd Of
students and workmen, after demon
stration in front of the statue of the
Poet Petofy, paraded the streets, and
noticing that the palaces were not
displaying flags like most of the other
ediflces, showered them with stones
until the police charged and dispersed
the rioters. A number of persons were
injured and many arrests were made,
