BOEN WILL TEST LAW.
Fergus Falls Man Claims That Filing
Fee Is Not Required.

st. Paul, June 25.-Halvor E. Boon,
publisher of The Fergus Falls Globe and
candidate for congress on the public
ownership ticket, will attempt to compel
the secretary of state to file his appli-
cation for congressional candidacy in the
secretary's office according to legal re-
quirements, but without his having to
pay the $25 filing fee and the present
ing of petition signed by 300 yot-
ers, as the election statute requires.
81 intend to test the question for the
public ownership party said MIR.
Boen at the capital today, through
mandamus proceedings brought against
the secretary of state. In my opinion,
it is unconstitutional to deprive any cit
izen of an unlimited, unhampered right,
freely to become candidate for any
public office. l do not believe the sec
rotary of state has any right to demand
a fee for a candidates filing, nor do
believe it is necessary for a party as
old as my own to have to present a
lengthy petition for its candidate to get
on the election ticket"
Mr. Boon is a man of some political
prominence in the ninth district, where
he desires to run for congress. In 1892
he was elected to congress on the popu-
list ticket. In 1894 he was defeated by
Frank Eddy, now publisher of The Sank
Center Herald.

man Rarden as to his sanity i'm the
probate court Saturday afternoon, The

the fact that it was a mistake, and The

Smart Young Man Is Taken Into

Custody.
From Mondays Daily.
Last evening as Chief Donahue was
walking down jackson and Front streets
he trailed a young man who made it a
point to stop every lady whom he met
on the walks and address her. He
seemed to think that he was doing some
thing smart" and was enjoying him
self immensely, getting more bold all the
time, when the chief took him into GUS
tody and marched him to the city hall.
He became very repentant there, and
begged humbly to be allowed to go. He
promised to act like a gentleman in
the future and behave himself general
ly. The chief finally allowed him to go.

age of 100000 in Denver.

Denver, March 23@Fire originat-
ing from spontaneous combustion in
the starch bins of the Western Candy
company plant in the wholesale dis
trict of this city last night caused
damage to the building and stock of
four manufacturing concerns estimat-
ed at 5000. 600. Two tons of starch
were stored in the bins where the
fire was first discovered. Before an
alarm could be turned in several ex-
plosions occurred in quick succession
and the roof of the building was lift
ed by their force. A minute later
great pillars of fire shot into the air.
In response to a general alarm the
entire fire fighting force of the city
assembled, but little could be ac-
complished in the way of subduing
the flames and the fire burned fu-
riously until the entire structure was
consumed.
The damage estimated by the man
ayers Of the various companies occu-
pying the various buildings which
We're destroyed is as follows: Western
Candy company, $4,000 George
Hewitt Candy company, sac, 600;
Western Paper company, SO. 1000;
Western Laundry company. $4,000.
Loss to buildings, 100000. The build
ing which was of three stories, was
owned by the Hallack Investment
company. It is stated that the losses
are fully covered by insurance.

Grating a Joint at 54S Minnesota ave-

ings against which these injunctions
were granted yesterday. These Joints

open?" Mr.. McCamish was asked
"I do not know" he answered. If I
find they are I will cite the owners in
for contempt. They did not answer and
took the judgment by default"

A TORPID THINKER
The Frequent Result Of Coffee Poisoning

A Toledo. O.. business man says that
for three years he had no appetite for
breakfast; that about once a month he
ate solid food at that meal. generally
contenting himself with his cup Of

thing else.
COhee frequently plays this dog-in-
the-manger trick; while it furnishes
no nutriment itself. it restroys the ap-

result was, in time. a torpid mentality

FIFTY-F0UR WRECKS.
Eighty-ive Lives Lost Is Seasons
Record on New England Coast.

Boston, March Eighty-five lives
were lost and 81 ships we're wrecked
along the coast Of New England and
the maritime provinces during the past
winter. While the season up to the
present month was comparatively
mild on shore. at sea it was one of ex-
treme severity, particularly in waters
off the provinces.
OF the vessels wrecked 81 were sail
ing craft. Nine steamships and eight
barges complete the list Ships flying
the British flag lead those Of other na-
tiOus with q loss of 27 craft against Is
Of American register. There IS also a
sprinkling Of Norwegian, German and
Swedish vessels.
The worst in the street was the
foundering Of the steamer British King
of Sable island on March II, when it
is estimated that at least 18 and prob
ably 26 lost their lives. The correct
figures probably will never be known
as members Of the crew are said to
have deserted before the ship sailed.
The season of storm and shipwreck
commenced in November when the
Norwegian steamer Turbin struck the
rocks of CIark's Harbor, N. S. w. and
in sight of persons on shore struck
and held for brief moment on the
lodges, then surged forward on the
crest of a wave and disappeared with
her crow of four men. In less than a
fortnight after the Turbin tragedy the
British steamer Nuremberg struck the
rocks in heavy stern off Amherst
harbor. Magdalen islands, and u out
of a crew of It perished. From that
time on scarcely a week passed with
out It's story of wreck.
Reports that have come in since the
blizzard early in the present week
cause fear that the lists of casualties
may be greatly increased. There has
been no day without its story of dis
aster. Many vessels are overdue and
the actual fate Of some of them may
not be learned for several weeks.
