business basis and must be worked
out by business methods to the profit
of both parties, or else they will quick
ly fail and be abandoned.
The condition of our own Western
country as compared with thirty or
twenty or even ten years ago illus
trates the point. The people in those
states are better fed, better clothed
and have more money in the bank
than they ever had before. Nobody
wants to leave, and every interest has
profited by their coming. The attempt
to use other agencies to settle the Can
adian Northwest far in advance OF its
natural development is a mistake. The
bounty method is so absolutely GER
tain to expand into an enormous abuse
that we wonder how any intelligent
government Or people could resort to
it. The sooner Canada gets out OF
this bIunder the better for her, as well
as for the people who are being per-
suaded to remove to her distant un-
occupied and at present unavailable
spaces.

MINE OWNER is SUED
FOR HALF A MILLION
Plaintiffs Claim Defendant Filed Claim
on Mine They Located.

CHICAGO. Jan. 24.-Three suits for
total of $530,0o6 have been filed in the
circuit court against P. H. Anderson, of
this city. Nels o. Hultberg, a plaintiff
in one of the suits, seeks to recover
$500,000, while Dora Adams and Hanna
Hultberg ask for $4,000 each.
Back of the suits, according to the
defendant, is a story which had it's be-
ginning in the Alaskan gold fields in
1893 When the rush for Alaska and
the Yukon was at its height Anderson
was one of the first to arrive in Nome,
and after prospecting for some time
located and filed the claim known as
the White Star property. He incorpo-
rated the White Star Mining company
with a capital stock of 100000. In
1900 he is said to have sold his holdings
in the company for more than 81, 1,000.-
600 and returned to the United States
Nelson o. Hultberg, his wife and niece,
Miss Dora Adams, claim to have been
the original prespectorS at the White
Star mine and according to Anderson
Hultberg asserts he struck gold in suffi-
cient quantities to warrant working il,
and returned to Nome to file papers
with the land agent. He was delay
ed for some time in reaching Nome,
and when he did apply at the govern
ment office he learned that Anderson
had already filed his claim.

poPEp TO DEATH.

Michigan man killed himself be-
cause he could not find out just what
allied him, and he had reduced himself to
penury trying to find a cure for ilnag1-
nary diseases. He was the victim of
the back pages of the magazines.
The Michigander's case recalls the
story told by Jerome K. Jerome of the
person who imagined himself afflicted
by some insidious disorder. He did not
believe in doctors and took to studying
his case in the books. He found that
he had most of the symptoms of every
known disease except Housemaid's
Knee.
The trouble with US of this age and
generation is that We worry too much
about what does not all US and are too
much given to the study of the seduc-
tive magazine ad A man of magma
ton can settle himself down for an
evening with the man who knows that
it pays to advertise and feel compelled
to weep because he is going to leave
him. He can find the best of evidence
that he needs course of physical cul-
ture, some predigested food, sea salt
baths, a different climate, eighty-sfx
sorts of breakfast dope, a folding gym
nasium for his bedroom, cure for to-
bacco heart and the absent treatment
for brain fag. If he is a methodical
person he figures things out and finds
that he is bound to die because he

Suicide is the easiest and simplest
solution Of his troubles for the man

health and takes to looking for deserip-

the necessity for this extreme if he
could make himself believe that he
might possibly find the strength TO
walk as far as the backyard and en-
brace the sawbuck. But that is pretty
certain to be beyond his strength. He
might get himself up to it by eating
something in the form of a slab of ba-
con or a quarter of yard of sausage
and a stack of buckwheats.

country, but don't overlook the fact
that there is much virtue. in an ante

that strength dwells in the succulent
sausage and the brown griddle cake.

OHIO RIVER AGAIN
OPEN FOR NAVIGATION
Steamers Blocked by Ice for Two
Months at Last Able to Move.

CINCINNATI. Ohio, Jan. 24.-With
arrival here of the steamer Courier last
night navigation was opened in part
of the Ohio river after a complete sus-
pension of almost two months. During
that time seven large packets and
dozen smaller ones and hundreds of coal
barges have been anchored here. Two
small packets were wrecked by the
breaking of ice gOrges and the number
of barges lost will never be known.
The total direct loss is placed at $780,
900. The indirect loss is much greater.
1t is stated that the loss of one of the
large packets by being tied up is $1,000
per day. The river is open for naviga-
ton now only between Louisville and
Maysville, KY, so that none of the
through packets up the river for Pitts
burg or down the river for Mississippi
points are yet able to run on account
of the ice. While freezing weather again
prevails through the Ohio valley the
river is now too high to be again closed
up.

PLACE FoR THE HEROES.

NJ. Jacques Lebaudy, emperor of Sa-
hara, proposes to submit to President
Roosevelt a request that the valiant
leader of the Rough Riders name
shifted smokeless powder at San Juan,
to officer his personal body guard. If
it is heroes he wants, the emperor has
applied at the right shop.
Col. Roosevelt has heroes to burn,
more heroes than he can possibly turn
into major generals in the regular serv-
ice of the United States. He can draw
on the roster of that gallant band that
trailed him and Maj. Gen Wood into
the ambush on the palm crowned
heights of San Juan. Almost to a man
he could depend on them to respond to
call to command the bodyguard of
an imperial parsonage who has the
wherewith to keep the paymaster go
ing. They would go joyously cake
walking at the head Of their dusky
troops when the emperor was inclined
to turn them out on dress parade. They
would find amidst the burning sands of
the Sahara that which they long for in
vain in these piping times of peace
hereabouts-m matter to occupy the mind
of hero out of job.
hox
will be able to prevail on his great and
good friend to furnish forth his wants.
Notwithstanding Col Roosevelt's most
insistent demand for a continuance of
the strenuous life there is evidence
that the heroes he raised up are giving
him run that meets all his require
ments. He has not been permitted to
| forget the claims Of his comrades of
the Rough Riding band And here is
a chance for him to reward them with
places of honor and emolument with
out straining the army regulations or
the civil service rules. And after he
has exhausted the list of the Rough
| Riders, de facto, he can. If he pleases,
go down the line with the Rough Riders
of the political arena These latter
may not be as valiant as the real arti-
Gle, but they have striven nightly in
the Rooseveltian ranks, and the mere
fact that they know nothing about the
| art of war should not be held against
them. There is the case of Maj. Gen.
Wood.

"The Fatal Wedding at the Grand.

One of those melodramas by Theo-
dore Kremer-"The Fatal Wedding" is
the distinguishing title of this one
was presented at the Grand last night.
The titles are the only means of dis
tinguishing the melodramas of Mr..
Kremer, who writes them while you
wait.
AS for "The Fatal Wedding" 1t is al
most possible, but that is all that can
safely be said Of it, without fear of
indignant contradition. But it would
be rank injustice not to mention the
applause that greeted the Wronged
woman and her friends triumph over
the dastardly adventures.
1.-The Fatal Wedding necessitates a
child actress, who must impersonate
the precocious daughter of the ill
fated couple. She is known as 1.-The
Little Mother" and last night was i'm
personated by little Cora Quinten. One
feels sorry for a child who is trained
to talk like an adult-especially one
Of Mr.. Kremer's adults, and so SYM
has a sympathetic voice and a COM
mendably distinct enunciation.
Baby Zena Keife contributed an en-
tertaining speciality in the second act,
and Gertrude Haynes played the pipe
organ effectively in the scene repre-
Senting the interior of Grace church.
1t would be untrue to say that the
choir boys in caSSockS and Surplices
sang effectively for they did not. Their
singing was uneven and tone uncer-
tain.
Mr.. Kremer should hire somebody
to write his comedy scenes, while he
devotes his talents exclusively to the
strenuous and thrilling episodes.

THE skYscRAPER MENACE.

The Chicago bunko man who has
hitherto thriven by vending title to
the Masonic Temple to bucolic persons
will be somewhat embarrassed in his
life work by the fire which caused a
panic in the great structure Saturday.
incidentally the blaze called attention
to the fact that the fireproof skyscraper
makes a fire trap that is equal in po-
tential possibilities of disaster to the
freproof theater.
The Masonic Temple is eighteen
stories high. 1t is built about a great
central well, in which all the stair
cases and the elevators are contained.
Five thousand persons inhabit the
building during business hours. The
structure is built of what is known as
fireproof material and would only burn
if it had a good start. When the fire
started Saturday the furniture in a
couple of the lower suites burned
rather freely. The well was filed with
smoke that became so dense that the
people on the upper floors could not
venture into it. The elevators were
useless in the sitting atmosphere
Five thousand people We're as closely
prisoned in the building as though
they were locked in. The assurance

vented a panic that must have been
awful in its consequences had those
thousands of men and women made a
rush down the narrow stairs to the
street.
The occurrence adds another argu-
ment to those already made against
/ the skyscraper. 1t is hideous, generally
| unnecessary and obnoxious because it
| makes for the congestion of business.
There is no possible excuse for it's ex-
| istence in any city in America, with
the possible exception of .down-town
New York, where natural limitations
| have been set to the spread OF the
city. Now it has been shown that it
is unsafe in spite of fireproof materials.
Even Chicago theater would offer a
better chance of escape in the case of
panic than would the average Chi
cago skyscraper.
While building inspectors throughout
| the country are bestirring themselves
| with. view to safeguarding those
places in which large numbers of peo-
pie congregate, they might do some
thing in the way of cutting down the
skyscraper. 1t is blot on the scenery
! and a menace to public safety.

At st. Paul Theaters

The presentation of Under Two
Flags at the Metropolitan last t~night,
with Jane Remark in the role of
Cigarette, proved a novelty. Local
theatergoers imagined they had wit
messed dramatization of Ouida's IA
nous story during the halcyon days
of summer stock company two years
and half ago. 1t is true they saw a
fascinating Cigarette at that time but
they did not behold an intelligent
dramatization of the novel.
Paul Potter's adaptation of this re-
markable fiction to the stage is a
worthy effort. 1t preserves some of the
atmosphere of the tale and omits su-
perfluous incidents. The dialogue is
terse and direct, and there is plenty
of action. 1t is easy to account for the
popularity the drama has attained with
a capable actress in the role of the
passionate and jealous vivandiere.
Jane Remark, hitherto a stranger
to ST Paul. made her appearance in
this role last night. Nature has be-
slowed two valuable gifts upon Miss
Remark, a resonant voice, that vi
brates with feeling and an expressive
eye. Her imperSonation of Cigarette
emphasized the viXenish, jealous ma
ture of the vivandiere in most con-
vincing manner. The lovable qualities
of the young woman should receive &
warmer color at the hands of the ac-
treSS.
An interesting personality has Miss
Remark, and her acting rings true
being essentially spontaneous. She is
also to be commended for her excel
lent makeup, which impaired ar
Othello complexion to her manifesto
tions of jealousy.
The company is deficient albeit H
Guy Woodward contributes a consist
ent, well-sustained characterization Of
John. Earl Of Rockingham, and Bert
Lytell is acceptable in the role of Bertit
Cecil. The other impersonations beal
the stamp of uninteresting mediocrity
They need not be particulariZed.
The play is picturesquely mounted
and the sandstorm scene is undeniably
effective. F. G. H.

GRAND JURY MEMBERS

Kansas Jurors May Be Accused of
Boodlinq if Indictments Are Delayed.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, Jan. 24.-If the
grand jury that has been investigating
charges of Doodle made against MEM,
bers of the board of education and
the city officials of Kansas City fails
to return indictments the jurors them
selves may be exposed and another
grand jury called. Although 1t was
announced last week that seventeen in
dictments were to be voted 1t was later
declared that some members Of the
grand jury were disinclined. to return
true bills. Attorney General Coleman
says that aside from boodling itself no
greater crime could be committed
against the city government than that
of influencing juries or the court. The
jury will meet again on Monday.

THE POLICE AND THE MAYoRAL.

The Pioneer Press says that it would
be perfectly safe to elect Republican
mayor because he could not possibly
interfere with the present police ad-
nihistration.
He cannot disturb the present ad-
ministration of that (the police) de-
partment," says the Pioneer Press, re-
ferring in a large and indefinite way to
the possible Republican mayor. "Con-
seQuently the police issue in its old
shape will not influence thoughtful
voters"
Our contemporary is ingenious to a
degree that must distress some of
the leaders of the party for which it
speaks. The Republicans were thrust
out of office in st. Paul because they
conceived the idea that administrative
places were created in order to provide
proper reward for active politicians,
without regard to their fitness. The
Pioneer Press has some memory there
fore it finds comfort in the knowledge
that no Kiefer, Doran or Wright can
get hold of the police administration
for some years.
But has this spokesman for the local
Republicans quite grasped the situa-
ton? Assuming that the Republicans
should elect mayor, what guarantee
has the Pioneer Press that he would
not attempt to embarrass the police
administration by interference not war
ranted by law? Is it worth while TAX
ing the chance?
There has been no attempt made TO
rob police station in st. Paul for
some years. But if it We're advertised
to the world that a Republican had
been elected mayor of ST. Paul the
crooks of America would rush in here in
such numbers that it would take all
the time of all the policemen to keep
them from stealing the rogues' gallery.
