his traordinary lease Of life to q per-

Nearly everybody who has had any

lawyers who convicted him, have about
concluded they would like to see him
win his fight.
Whether the Patrick case illustrates
a bad or a good tendency in American
courts will remain an open question.
Secretary Taft would probably say the
former. He is for cutting off appeals

finances recuperated from their hard

today will give it substantial credit

There were $s1l,0oo in railroad taxes
unpaid at noon, Of which $67 900 will
be paid without contest. The state
treasurer has $15o,Oo0 in drafts for -: in

Drafts for telegraph company taxes
and other corporations are to be paid
amounting to 100000 more. The reve

will be balanced by the March tax col
lections, amounting to 100000, so by

was only $205,000 in the revenue fund.

DIG INTO MoULDY PAST
Old Office Books of Amherst II. Wilder
Opened for Evidence.

Musty and yellowed office books OF
Amherst III. Wilder, covering his bust
ness career from 1873 to his death IN
1894 were yesterday dug out of the
basement storeroom of the Merchants
National bank, st. Paul, and the vaults
of the office of the Wilder estate.
Attorneys for DR.. E. v. Appleby, who
is appealing from decision of the pro-
bate court respecting his interest IN
the estatA of his deceased wife, a daugh-
ter of Nj. Wilder, insist that the books
of Mr.. Wilder are better evidence as
showing the value of the property than
the report of appraisers appointed, at
ter the father, mother and daughter
were dead. The appraisers schedule
showed the value of the estate to be
$1.S97.5 5000. Mr.. Wilder last lnyen-

! Dr. Appleby's attorneys believe the
| two estates should now be worth be-
/ tween So, 100000 and $4,O00,000 instead
| of $2,500,O00. The purpose of the DEW
| ing into the musty records was to show
that Mrs. Appleby's one-third interest
in her fathers estate at the time of
her marriage to DIR. Appleby SHOULD
have been more than $750,000.
The hearing yesterday was largely
devoted to arguments by opposing coun-
sci on matters of detail and assumed
points, and to testimony of v. NJ. Wat
/ kins, formerly confidential man of Mr..
Wilder and later manager of the estate
] for the heirs and executors. The case
/ will be resumed this afternoon.

Poor Business Policy.

The Hill ore properties on the Mesaba
range are said to be leased to the steel
trust on a royalty Of 70 cents ton,
which is to be increased every two
wears till it reaches 81, and the Great
Northern is, in addition, guaranteed
100000 tons Of ore a year to haul
to the docks. -2---~.
The state of Minnesota gets a fiat
royalty of Is cents a ton for all ore
mined from school and institution land
under ffty-year leases. Much of the
ore on state land is just as valuable as
the Hill holdings. While large part
of it is low-grade are, the lessees are
willing to pay 25 cents ton, or they
would not make the contracts. On the
high grade ore the state is losing thou
sands, and eventually millions, by fail
ing TO. demand the royalty that should
be paid. It is too late to change the
terms on contracts already made, but
It is not. too late to make a new rule
for future leases, and either raise the
i royalty outright or provide for com
petitive bids, with IS cents as the mini
mum. No private business interes
would let such vast wealth go for :

sBllou-"cardinal Rlchelieu.''

AS further demonstration Of his
ability and versatility as an actor, Thorn
as E. Shea presented Cardinal Riche-
leu yesterday afternoon before an au-
dience which was thoroly appreciative.
Called upon for qualities not displayed in
his >other productions Mr.. Shea ably
maintained the high standard Of his pre-
vious work. H. -.
The cunning of the earlier scenes, the
warmth and heartiness of his interest in
his ward and De- Mauprat, and the re-
turn. of the cunning and strategy in the
closing scenes. were all clearly and
sharply shown, yet with artistic shading.
Mr.. shea's Interpretation as we'll as his
representation was brilliant and intel
lectual Made up with more. care and
to better effect than in his other produc-
lions, his portrayal was most realistic.
More than in his other productions
Mr. Shea seemed to stand out from and
above his support, able as it was. The
closing scene Of the third act, when he
def1es the court and king, and even the
state with the "curse of Rome was
spectacular and brilliant without being
oyerdrawn or rendered hysterical.
Charlotte Burkett as Julie de Morte-
mar was most effective. Her perfect
poise and comeliness and her able work
have nowhere been better shown. Frank

ity. IN. C. B.

GREAT POSSIBILITIES SUGGEST
ED TO w. L. HARRIS BY ENTHu-
sIAsTIc MEETING AT GLENCOE.

"I hope that the meeting In Glencoe
Tuesday evening will prove to be but
one of many similar meetings to be held
in other cities thruout the state, - said
W. L. Harris today in speaking of the
rousing get-together gathering in Me-
Leod county. 81 believe that such
meetings accompanied by plentyof get
together doctrine will prove of immense
and lasting value to the business and
community interests Of the state.
"There is no reason for useless and
senseless sectional feeling between the
people of the country and the people of
fostered by politicians and the selfish.
The city merchants and the country
merchants, business men. and all inter
ests generally can be brought together
and organized for the common good of
the state in no better way than by such
gatherings as that in Glencoe.
"The commercial clubs of the state
have work presented to them which
they should not neglect. Thru active
work on the part of such organizations
Justice and protection can better be Sc
cured than by legislative and coercive
means. The work of these commercial
clubs is not wholly local and social. By
holding many such meetings under SIM
liar auspices all over the state. COM
mon bond of interest linking the solid,
respectable, substantial honest interests
of the state will be formed that will
be far-reaching in its good results.
ETho acquainted in way with the
interests of our smaller cities, it was a
revelation to me to find what real bust
ness activity exists in Glencoe. As Glen
coe is but a sample of other cities thru
out the state, a get-together movement
entered into by the commercial inter
ests of the state from the smaller vii
lage to the largest city would assure the
bringing about of results for advance
ment and good that could be accom-
plished in no other way
