out about ten feet from it, Mr.
Wister scattered salt, which
thawed the ice on the surface
and kept it thawed, though the
temperature was 80 degrees be-
low zero. When the rabbits
came to drink their feet were
wet by the water on the surface
of the ice, where the salt was, SO
that when they stepped on the
clear ice beyond the salt they
were frozen fast in a moment and
stayed there until Mr.. Wister
raped them on the heads and
moved them loose with a scythe.

BRUISING THEIR FISTS.

bKUlSlNG IHElK FlOIO.
When Judge Collins friends
talk Of supporting him for COVER
nor because he is a Grand Army
man they are on firm footing and
manage to walk along q ute nicely,
but when they pirate Of the
merger and of what the Judge
may be expected to do for the
state they are laundering in very
deep water and the excitement
with which they sputter and
splash about is quite amusing.
The truth is that solar as the
merger is concerned nobody in
Minnesota ever heard Judge Col
Inns had any views upon the sub
iect until he becamea candidate
for governor and it became neces-
sary for him to have them. As
to what the Judge may do for the
state should he become governor
that time alone can tell.
In attacking Bob Dunn along
these lines Judge Collins and his
friends had selected for assault
the positions in which Mr.. Dunn
is impregnable. No man in
Minnesota has so fearlessly en-
forced the laws of the state
against private corporations as
has Dunn. His record is an
open book. As to the merger in
particular Dunn has repeatedly
declared that he would enforce
=
to the letter every law now upon
the statue books and If these laws
are not sufficient he will bend
every influence toward securing
laws that are sufficient. Even
Judge Collins and the Van SAINT
administration which is support
ing him, who claim to be the
simon pure anti-merger article,
have not gone SO far as this.
Too plain thinking people
Judge Collins friends are but
bruising their fists in this line Of
attack upon Mr.Dunn.

IN quantities that would pay. and con-
sequenty the bars have been left
practically undisturbed. A dredge was
put to work on one of the bars some
time ago, but the method intended to
check the gold proved a failure, and
so the dredge was allowed to fall to
pieces and gradually drift away with
the current after a large amount of
gravel had been worked through.
The inventor of the new contriyance
which he calls the automatic concen-
traitor and amalgamator, expects a

gold TO the amount of $3.50 can be

recent lecture on the making of wills
the case of a woman in one Of Rider
Haggard's books was cited. This
woman had mans will inscribed in
ink on her back. And the will was
held regular and legal because it had
been made in writing
After giving this practical illustra-
tion. the professor called on John
Smith. saying:
rs will so inscribed regular and
legal in your opinion?'
No" answered Smith.
why not?" asked the professor.
Because it'r a skin game" replied
Smith.
The professor felt angry enough to
order Smith out of the room, but the
class laughed so much that he de-
cided to overlook the students flip
