DR.. Arthur w. Miller, coroner of
Ramsey county and candidate for re-
nomination by the Democratic party.
has appealed to the courts to cause
the Democratic ballot for the primary
the name OF one "a. P. Miller. who
has also filed for the nomination.
In his petition to the court DIR. Miller
makes sensational charges respecting
the genIineness Of the candidacy Of
"A. P. Miller" and says that the filing
of "a. p. Miller" is simply to confuse
the voters and was secured by his po-
litieal enemies
Judge Hasca1 r. Brill, to whom the
petition was presented yesterday, has
issued restraining order directed to
County Auditor E. G. Krahmer. and
has set the hearing on the petition on
its merits for Monday morning at 10
O'Clock.
No Such Person as A. p. Miller
In his petition Dr. Miller recites that
he, Charles L. Dohm and C. A. Haas
have filed for the Democratic nomina-
ton for coroner; that on Aug. 20
there was filed a certain application
purporting to be signed by one A. p.
Miller; that your petitioner is inform
ed and believes that there is no such
person as A. p. Miller bona fide res
ident of Ramsey county; that the per-
son so filing under the name OF A. p.
Miller is not A. p Miller, but, on the
contrary, is and always has been Al.
T. :. Moller, and that his use of the name
of A. P. Miller in said application was
solely for the purposes hereinafter al
legged" He recites that the said Moller
was born outside of the United States
and has never been naturalized; that
he has never voetd for Democratic can
didates and has always been and still
is affiliated with the Republicans.
DR.. Miller declares that the "intent
and purpose of Moller making said ap-
plication to have his name placed on the
Democratic ticket is with Athesintent
and for the purpose of confusing the
electors and causing them to vote fer
him under the name of A. p. Miller,
under the belief that they are voting
for DR.. A. w. Miller. and that said
Moller has been caused and procured

YANKEES TOO BUSY
Socialism Wins Few Recruits
In the East

''The two old parties will fight it out
in Massachusetts,, said S. D. Porter,
a manufacturing confectioner of
Springfield, at the Ryan hotel yester-
day, where he stopped for the day en-
route to Yellowstone National park.
Socialism, which 1 find has gained
quite headway in some of the West
ern cities. has not affected our people,
The Yankees are a self-reliaht people
and believe in the organic laN of the
survival of the fittest and the value Of
self-help. I find that the recruits to
socialism are nearly all natives of for
eign countries, who have come to the
states to better their condition. Many
Of them have found that success in this
country depends on personal effort, just
the same as in the countries from
which they emigrated, and they turn
to socialism as the means to bring
them prosperity and happiness. The
whole idea of socialism is foreign to
the regulation Yankee traditions and
they will have none of it."

SO spake the mighty juniors at the

freshfes realized that the first Of their
many struggles with the sophomores
would soon be upon them. The historic
OLD piece of gas pipe which has been
the cause of so many struggles was

Minnesota's prison population is at a

OF control yesterday showed a total
OF SS7 men in the Saltwater peniten-
tiary and the st. Cloud reformatory.
OF this number GIG men We're enrolled
at Saltwater and 271 at st. Cloud.
The fact that few criminal courts
having jurisdiction are in session dur
ing the summer months and the fur
ther fact that during the summer
months it is the practice to parole men
where work can be found for them ac-
counts for the low ebb at which the
prison population is now found.
Many Of the courts hold terms dur
ing September and October and it is
expected that the prisons will shortly
be recruited BY the addition of men on
commitment from many of the courts

Six men were transferred early in
the week from the ST. Cloud reform

the banks steep, and by the time the
officer had regained firm footing the
supposed burglar had disappeared.
The incident gave me bad scare" T"
explained the officer, "as 1 could not

BACK TO PRISON CELL
PafoIed Prisoner Charged With
Robblng Farmer

John O'Rourk. st. Paul young man
who was out on parole from the st.
Cloud reformatory, has been returned
to the Institution. and it is expected
that he will have to stand trial for a
vicious assault on farmer near CO.
kato, Wright county, who had given
him ride to his work from the vii
lage.
O'Rourk was committed to the state
reformatory in March, 1902. for grand
larceny in st. Paul, and when paroled
early in the present summer was
brought to st. Paul, where State Prison
Agent j. z. Barncard found employ
ment for him. Later he was given en-
ployment with steam shovel gang
on the Great Northern railroad, near
Cokato. On a rainy day early in the
week he went to Cokato, where. it is
said, he became intoxicated. Riding
out with farmer towards his work,
O'Rourk is charged with assaulting
and rebbing, the man who had given
him the ride. The farmer was very
badly beaten. O,Rourk has been re-
turned to the institution from which he
had been paroled and will probably be

REALTY VALUATIONS
FALL OFF THIS YEAR
But Those In 81. Louis County
Show Big Increase Owing
to Iron Mines

The fact that ST. Louis county re-
turned a real estate assessment for
1904 some s13.009,000 in excess of it's
assessment of 1902 saved the total real
estate valuation of the state from
quite a shortage, as returns of acre
property in the various counties of the
state are for the most part considera-
bly, below those of 1902.
The raise in st. Louis county was
through the opening of new iron mines
In the past two years and an Increased
assessment Of several Of the mines in
operation two. years ago, but which
We're not then known to be so valuable.
Then, too. about 100000 acres of land
have been listed for taxation in st,
Louis county in the past two years for
the first time.
Formerly it had been state swamp.

such exempt from taxation
st. Louis county returned the yalue
OF its acre property for 1894 at s27.5s,
as against s2a.43 for. 1902, a, gain OF
over $5 per acre, and this is assigned
to the mining properties which are
listed as uninproved acre property.

Johnson, Of Goodhue county, has COM
pleted a comparative statement OF the
