WE ARE TO BE HUNDRED.

The administration of affairs of
Minnesota scheduled to go into
effect on Jan. Sd next is to be known
as the ''jolly administration. It
is not intended to be taken serious
ly and nothing serious is expected
to be consummated. Mistakes will
be avoided by following out the
rule laid down by the sachems.
Gov. Johnson is to jolly the big
pieces of human machinery drifting
around the marble corridors of the
new building, and if they insist on
securing something likely to make
campaign material for the other
fellows the governor is to jolly
them out of the idea. When Van
SAINT, Lind, Heatwole and Dunn
drop In they are to be sJollied sep.
arately and told what they might be
were it not for the other fellows.
Frank Day is to carry on the ex-
ecutiye outer Office iollying. The
newspaper men of the state are par
ticuIarly assigned to him. When
they drop in to inspect the big
building, and the bigger guns are
holding down the governor, Frank
will not only do the steering and
throw the jolly, but he will make
the newspaper men think that the

and has caused much trouble to street
car companies, railroads and telegraph
companies. The latter were the great
er sufferers, for the blizzard which
swept thru the west and northwest
during the last twenty-four hours was
preceded by a heavy fog and drizzling
rain, which made wires almost unwork-
able The intense cold, and the terri
fic gale that followed close upon the
fog, coated the wires with ice, and
later in the day threw the poles to the
ground, Gripping the companies badly.
Railroad trains were delayed all
thru the west, some being over
twenty hours late. Street car traffic
in all cities Of the west and northwest
was practically at standstill at some
time during the day. In its extent the
storm was the most widespread of any
during the last fifteen years. Counting
the fog as a component part of the
storm 1t stretched from the Rocky
Mountains to New York. from Winni-

tiles reported were IN Chicago, where

Dena and Eta Verheul small girls In
the family of John Verheul. Shocking
cruelty is alleged. Humane Officer Ed
Crawford of Des Moines was in the city
Monday. 1t Is charged that the two
girls, aged II and 13 years respectively,
have been shamefully neglected and
and scabs. The most recent case of
inhunan treatment reported occurred
last week when 1t is alleged that Mrs.
verheul numerically beat her daugh-
ter A cash was cut in the girls arm.
The child ran to her father at the coal
mine, and the men at the mine say
that he swore at her for calling upon
him and told her she should have
stayed at home. Incensed at this ac-
tion on the part Of the father the
friends Of the girl took her to the coal
office where money was promptly sub
scribed to pay for treatment. A local
physician sewed up the child's wound
and she is being cared for here in
town.
To officer Crawford the girl told
pitiful story. She claimed to have
been tied to stocks in the corn field and
forced to be out all night as punish
ment for not working faster. At one
time she asserts her face was blacked
and she was tied to tree and forced
to stay out all night after being told
that "goblins" would certainly come
and devour her.

HELD FOR LAND FRAUD
Seven More Indicted as Result of In
quiry in Oregon Doe and Foe
Among Them - Conspiracy Reveal
ed by Accident.

ed by Accident.
Portland. Ore, Dec. 2s.-The federal
grand jury has indicted S. P. Ormsby,
William H. Davis, mayor of Albany,
Ore: C. E. Loomis, Henry E. Young,
George Sorenson, and John Doe and
Richard Roe in connection with the
land frauds in this state.
The first hint of the Pacific coast land
frauds was received by accident. One
Of the conspirators thoughtlessly made
a disclosure to a special agent of the
land office. A quiet investigation was
begun and the further the government
officials went into the matter the more
amazed We're they at the conditions re-
'vealed.
A gigantic conspiracy was discover
ed. Thru the uttering Of forged doc
uments and their fraudulent registra-
ton with the land officials hundreds of
thousands Of acres of the public do
main were passing into the grasp Of
the conspirators. Already they had Sc
cured patents for 10000 acres. They
had claims fled for ten times more.
The initial step Of the department Ut
the interior, under the Jurisdiction Of
which the matter came, was to stop the
issuing Of patents upon the selections
and entries involved and all sach en-
tries and selections were Immediately
suspended. This suspension still
stands.
Then came the leak and the investi-
cation. In February, 1903, Frederick
A. Hyde, John A. Benson, Henry p.
Dimond, and sJoost H. Schneider, were
indicted for conspiracy to defraud the
United States of large quantities of it's
public lands" Hyde and Benson were
declared to be the leading spirits in the
conspiracy. Benson was indicted the
year before for bribery of public Of
ficials in connection with the case.
The defendants were wealthy and
were prominent citizens. Hyde was
president of the San Francisco board
of education. Dimond was a leading
attorney.
Developments in the northern state
came later. The first indictments were
voted in October. 1903, when Horace
G. Mckinley, Stephen A. D. Puter and
Miss Marie L. Ware were held over
They were later indicted several times
more and others were added to their
number including Guy Huff, Mrs. EN-
ma Watson, Miss Maud Witt, Frank III
Wolgamot, Harry G.. Barr, Dan w
Tarpley, Charles Cunningham, Dallas
O'Harra. Glen H. Sailing, Shelly Jones
Mark Shackleford, and Miss Kate
James. Harry Meldrum, former sur
veyor general Of Oregon, was caught
by the grand jury of April, 1904.

of the police were aroused by the fact
that her underskirt and hat were found
nearly 100 feet from where she lay.
The spot where she was found is lone

that the young woman while uncon-

to die Of exposure.
All efforts to learn the identity Of
