the republican ticket.

ouillotine in Sweden.

Who would have supposed during the
Reign Of Terror, writes a London paper,
that day would come when the guilo-
tine would be used for laudable pur-
pose? Yet this has just happened in
Sweden, for guillotine has been erected
in the market place at Gothenburg,
where it is used daily for the purpose
of decapitating chickens, ducks and 9TH
er domestic animals. The local Society
for the Persecution of Cruelty to AMI
mails is responsible for this novel step.

State Forestry Board.

The state forestry board has set
aside 1000 acres of government land
near Ely and it will probably be used
as game and fish preserve.
The tract is two-thirds covered by
small growth Of timber. The rest is
s to be planted with seeding trees
There are number of SPLENDID lakes
in the tract and they will probably be
stocked with fish.

will be turned over to the state game
and fish commission.

Help for Fire Companies.

Cities and villigaes in Minnesota that
have fire departments or fire relief as
sociations will receive $91, 1881 as
the 1908 superintendent of the 2'per
cent tax paid by insurance companies
on premiums on Minnesota business.
This amount is reckoned on premiums
amounting to 81, $50, s76.24 and is twice
as much as was apportioned last year.
The increase is due to a law passed by
the last legislature providing that all
of the 2 per cent tax, instead of half Of
It, be paid to cities and villages having
FIRE departments.

On whatever ticket he might run for
the presidency he would poll a consider
able number of votes given him by the
thousands of admirers throughout the

presidential candidate, and he and
his friends believe that his services to
the country entitle him to that honor.

American Dollars in Panama.


Good American dollars are to pass
for legal tender in the republic of
Panama. 1t has been left to this coun-
try, virtually, to make the coinage
laws of that little nation, and it may be
that it will never attempt to coin
money Of its own. but will use. our
currency entirely.
The task of solving the problem of
Panama's currency was left to Secre-
tary Taft, who acted with Panama
commission. and they have reached an
agreement for the adoption of a cur
rency system for the republic
This provides, in effect, that the
gold currency of the United States
shall be the standard of value ON the
isthmus and be legal tender, and that
the Panamans may, If they choose,
coin gold money of their own equiya-
lent in value to the American dollar;
that they may coin fractional curren-
cy out Of Colombian silver now in cir
culation in Panama to the extent of
one and one-half million dollars gold.
and at the request of the canal COM
mission one and one-half millions
more if the commission needs 1t.
Further, it is provided that the Pa
namans will maintain parity of the
fractional silver currency by the de-
post of Is per cent. of the normal
value of International silver currency
coin in an American bank In the cur
rency of this government; added to
that is the seigniorage as an addition
al reserve. The fractional currency
will consist of 5000. 900 Panaman sill
yer half dollars.
Panama will be the only one OF the
South or Central American republics
that has adopted the gold standard.
and in which American money viii be
worth only its face value. In Mexico
and almost every other republic on
either continent the American dollar
is priced far above the local currency.
BY the arrangement with Panama the
money of the two nations viii be in
terchangeable, fact which will be Of
great value to the Americans en-
ploged upon the canal construction.

Inyestieations tn Alaska.


The rumorS Of scandals in connec.
ton with the Alaskan judiciary are to
be Investigated, and for this purpose
Judge Day, as assistant to the attor-
ney general, will make a long trip
through the wilds of that district this
summer. He has been constituted an
investigating committee to report con-
ditions as he finds them to the presi-
dent, and for the purposes of his in
vestigation will travel many thousands
of miles.
He will sail for Alaska early in July,
and VIII visit KetcnfKan, wrangel.
Sitka, Juneau and Skagway. in the
southeastern part of the territory. It
is in this part of the territory that the
charges have been made against the
conduct in Office of Judge Melville
Brown, who was appointed from Wyo-
ming four years ago.
From Skagway Judge Day will go to
Dawson by the White pass, and thence
1900 miles down the Yukon river to
st. Michael, stopping at Eagle, Ram
part, Fairbanks and other places on
the way. From St. Michael, which is
near the mouth Of the Yukon, Judge
Day will go north to Nome, which Is
the largest mining town in Alaska,
and where some of the worst scandals
in the history Of the territory have oc-
Cured A visit will probably be made
later on to Valdez, which is prosper
GUS town at the head of the gulf Of
Alaska, and where many Of the i'm
portant mining cases have been tried
by Judge Wickersham Of the third
district
President Roosevelt is very much in
terested in this inquiry, and he will fill
none of the Offices which became va
cant on the 9Th of this month until the
inquiry is completed. Judge Day will
probably be in Alaska until late in
September.
