REGISTRATION SHOWS GAIN OF 1868
Reaches
Gains Are Shown Democratic Wards
Much Heavier Smith Thanh

The total registration for st. Paul is
29,S51 for 1904, as against 27,8S3 for
1902, and the gain is largely in the
strongholds of Democracy
The net increase over the registra-
ton of two years ago is 1858.
The result is surprising, but none
the less pleasing to the Democratic
leaders. The registration is the largest
ever had IN a municipal election, and
besides indicating that st. Paul is a
growing city, it shows that the voters
are alive to the necessity of partici-
pating in municipal affairs by exercis-
ing the elective franchise.
The primary vote indicated the
growing strength of the Democracy, for
as is conceded by everybody, there was
no great incentive for Democrats to at
tend the primaries. It was known to a
certainty that Mayor Smith would be
nominated and the leaders of his party
made no fight at the primaries In the
face of this condition the total vote

DULUTH, Mimi, April 23.-After

fury, during which they have adver-
tised in the principal dailies of the
country, Frank and Richard Jessmer
are at last united in Hibbing, and are
planning to embark in business to-
gether in that city. Early in the fifties
they lived together in New York state,
when Frank came West
The young traveller journeyed all
over the West in the search for a for
tune and finally drifted back to Min
nesota and to the Mesaba range. For
the first few years of his absence he
kept up a correspondence with his
brother, but the letters finally ceased.
Richard Jessmer, meanwhile, had emf
grated to Nebraska and later to Apple
ton, Wis, where he became a success
full business man.
1t was stated within the hearing of
Frank Jessmer, ten days ago, that a
certain engineer, known to some of the
employees of a Hibbing mine, lived in
a house belonging to Richard Jessmer
1t was through this channel that the
missing brother was located.

CusatiOn of Conspiracy.

NEW YORK, April ga remarka-
bic charge of conspiracy, involving
prominent Republican district leader,
the purpose of which, it is alleged, was
to procure money from applicants for
positions on the police force, was made
in the West side police court today by
William Duke. At the same time he
stated that the district attorneys office
is In full possession Of the facts.
Duke appeared in court, and his
story of alleged Juggling in police APP
pointments was brought about by
summons issued at the instance of
James K. Fitzpatrick, who claims that
he paid 5000 last August to get a po-
sition as patrolman. The expected ap-
pointment was not made, he said, and
all attempts to get his money back had
failed.
Duke startled the magistrate with his
story. He said that more than $500, 900
was involved in the scheme, and that
he had personal knowledge of an in
stance where a roundsman paid $4,000
TO secure sergeantcy, The magistrate
adjourned the case until Tuesday.

Yes" said the skipper, they were
submarine explosions right enough,
these first three. Should say that one
of their mines exploded"
At II o'clock the firing slackened and
I came to the conclusion that 1 had
had enough of it for one night. Later

now noticed that somewhat heavier
guns were being fired. I also heard the

CHIFU, Feb. 15.-On the night of

that favOrite invocation of the Latin
church, and finally a short prayer for

three candidates for the Republican
nomination.
There was no certainty that Col.
Wright would be nominated and his
friends made quite an active canvass
in his behalf, with the result chat an
unusually large vote was brought out,
and yet the Republican organization
mustered nearly 1900 votes less than
did the Democrats with no fight for the
head of the ticket and little contest
among the various candidates for the
assembly, while the Republicans had
bitter fight in selecting their assem-
bly, ticket.
In the face of this situation the fact
that there are gains in Democratic
wards over the total registration of two
years ago is fiattering and considered
a good omen for a continuance Of
Democratic administrations for ST.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April "a
What is known as the Grant artesian
we'll, situated near the town Of Iro-

throwing out fish which average about
two inches in length. The well is about
$50 feet deep.
AS the fish are not blind, as is the
case with those native to subterra-
mean waters, 1t is something of mys-
terry how they got into the artesian
basin which underlies the greater por-

lieved to have entered the artesian
basin from the point at which the ba-
sin receives it's water supply, which is
in the Black Hills, 800 miles away,
where the water bearing rock which
forms the artesian basin crops out to
the surface of the ground.

ford tobacco was then so highly es-
teemed that its price was three times
as great as the Virginia leaf. The
rapid extension Of the culture. more
than 1000 acres being planted with to-
bacco, led to its prohibition in 1880.
Twenty years ago Gladstone expressed
his dissatisfaction with the veto and
offered to remove it if a scheme were
produced for the collection Of the duty
so that the revenue might not suffer.
