bravery of the Minnesota First at

mark that the time will never come
when citizens of the North Star state
will find IT necessary to apologize for
the part the men of Minnesota took in
the late rebellion. The fact that the
north won made 1t possible for the
Minnesota to be built in Virginia-and
that ought to be good enough for the
old domfnion.-St. Cloud Journal Press.

Life Insurance Investigation

Only by a full legislative investiga-
ton of the management of the Equit-
able society can public apprehension
with regard to it and other great COM
panies be allayed. Life insurance is a
business peculiarly susceptible to pub
lie opinion. Its growth and success
have been founded on public confidence
and the public has no confidence in Sc
crecy.-New York World

 JACKS DEPARTURE-Tom Jack the man who has been held in the
 county jail for several days on sus- picion of insanity was held by the pro
 bate court yesterday to be not insane
 but suffering the after effects of a pro longed debauch and need of attention. It was decided to send him to the coun- ty hospital He went cheerfully but
 immediately after he got out of the
 wagon he hastily surveyed his sur rOundings and remarked to an inmate
 that he would probably cut his visit to the Institution short. In fifteen
 minutes he disappeared and was seen
 no more.
 HE WAS NOT SENTENCED-Fred Kerr, the fifteen year old boy who , it was charged had been enticed away | from home by a couple of strangers. was brought back yesterday morning. His case naturally came before the probate court in a proceeding which might have resulted in being sent to the re-
 form school. But he was dismissed
 with a slight lecture. The boy was naturally feeling somewhat sore over U hard working youth and saved as much of his money as he could. His
 object in going away was not to be- come an actor as had been alleged but to work at his trade of printer some where where there is more money. The men who accompanied him, he said, had not coaxed him away When
 word for his detention reached Mar icopa he was arrested and put in handcuffs and kept in that secure manner until the arrival of Deputy Sheriff Cunningham on Tuesday night PROBABLY INSANE-Last even ing a woman giving the name of Don nelly appeared on Center street near
 the Hoffman and asked for an officer
 saying that some one was trying to kill her in the vicinity of Monroe and 1 First streets, where she had been stop ping with a Mexican family. Consta-
 ble Troops was directed to her and she accompanied him to the place indicat- ed, where he learned that the woman had been employed in the Arizona laundry, that she had been stopping
 with the family as she claimed, but that instead of trying to kill her she had become nervous and evidently in- sane. They tried to get her to go to bed but instead she escaped and came down town. It is believed she has friends on a ranch east of town. She was taken to the county jail and cared for.
 THE CONTRACT PRIcE-The time is ripe now for a word Of e2,plana- tion concerning the letting of the con tract for the building of the Roose- welt dam. There may be some who still think the second lowest bidder for the work was the cheapest. when it was considered that his agreement to build was seven months less time than that of the O'Rourke Go. The incident affords opportunity for the il
 lustration of the fact that it is easy to draw a wrong conclusion concerning another mans business and further that the. reclamation engineers care fully weigh every question that comes before them in the construction of the big Roosevelt enterprise, always hay ing in view the interest of the Salt River valley farmers who eventually
