JACOBSON IS MAKING
INCONSISTENT FIGHT
Independent Republican Makes
Analysis of the Position of
Aggressive Statesman.
Says Jake" is Not Playing Good
Ball in Present Contest
for Governor.

An "1ndependent Republican" Of the
old stock, and one who Is known as
one of Minnesotas Norwegian
citizens sends the following to the La
Dor World from Esterdy, Mimi.
Jacob F. Jacobson served ten years in
the Minnesota legislature. During that
time he worked diligently In the inter-
ests Of the people. The great majority
of the states population which MAIN
tains no lobby, but trusts in the in
tegrity and ability Of its representa-
tives to successfully cope with the
predatory combinations and trusts,
whose interests are always looked after
by clever and powerful lobby.
Mr.. Jacobsons work was apprecia-
ted. We are proud Of his record-the
people clamored for his promotion
They could think of no one else better
fitted to serve them as governor Of the
state. But what happens? At the Du-
luth convention the will Of a large ma
jority Of the rank and file of the Re-
publican party of the state was ignored
and the interests by trickery got
control Of the political ship and Mr..
Jacobson was thrown overheard This
was not the first time that Mr.. Jacob
son, the champion Of the people, was
thrown overheard The memory is still
fresh in the minds of the rank and file
of the party when as a candidate for
state auditor he was defeated, by the
same methods and the same interests.
Hrere Is where the prediction Of Hon.
F. M. Eddy became true, as he had
stated In his most valuable paper. tho
Sank Center Herald, some weeks before
that memorable convention day:
THAT Jacobson's nomination for
Governor could be prevented only by
the combination Of the interests" and
ne urged the rank and file Of the Re-
publicans to stand together in support
OF Mr.. Jacobson. The result was that
a man was nominated for governor

the northern part Of the state.

A Comptroller with Wide Power.
The need of more strict laws in

subject to removal at pleasure, with

In other words, give the comptrol-

the case Of banks. In the federal gov

it Is great deal easier to enact laws

need, more than anything else, is for
more enforcement Of law and more

This speech was the first attempt

his views of the proper solution of
the railroad problem. He stated while

ownership by state and federal gov.

Bryan in his New York speech.

relative to the strength and capacity
of the pumps was taken from the re-

THE guarantee was to develop q
horse power Of twenty under brake
test with the gasoline pump installed
by Fairbanks, Morse e. Co. The test
was made today and resulted in de-
veloping twenty-five and half horse
power.
'The capacity of the pump is rated
at 287 gallons delivered per minute.
This was tested by pumping into
the elevated tank which has a capac.
ity of 279 gallons to the inch. Two
feet, or twenty-four inches were
pumped In twenty-one minutes or
308.47 gallons per minute. The pump
was speeded up, however, to 116 rev.
olutions per minute, or six above its
normal speed.
II also made an interesting test to
ascertain the flow from the wells.
1.-THE pump at it's normal speed, OF
287 gallons per minute, was run thirty
five minutes, lowering the water In
the receiving tank thirty-one inches, a

FOLK ON RAILROAD CONTROL
Not Government Ownership, But
Stringent Supervision His
Plan
A Comptroller With Power to Appoint
Receivers for Roads Violating the
Laws Favored by the Governor.

Pennington, Mo-, Oct. 1S.-Goyernor
Folk, who is known to oppose the gov
eminent ownership of railroads, came
out today in advocacy of a policy OF
more stringent government supervis-
lon as the only policy to solve the
problem now confronting the country.
The governor favors government
control similar to the present control
of national banks by the federal gov
eminent. Governor Folk travelled
with Mr.. Bryan yesterday and spoke
from the same platform. They held
conferences on the issues of the day
and presumably discussed Mr.. Bry-
ans advocacy Of federal ownership.
"A city or town is a business COR
poration and all the municipalities OF
the state should have the power to
purchase, own and operate any public
utility whenever they see fit to do so,,..'

CRYSTAL SKY COLUMNS.

An explanation OF curious optical
phenomenon, sometimes witnessed on
frosty nights, Is called the pseudo au-
rora,' is offered by a scientist. The
phenomenon takes the form of beau
tiful columns Of silvery lamps and 9TH
er bright lights and sometimes appear
ing almost to reach the zenith. The
scientist says that sometimes the even
Ing star has a bright shaft below as
we'll as above, while the rising moon
stands in broad column Of light.
These appearances are due to floating
frost crystals which keep their reflect
ing faces horizontal. On examination
he found that the crystals concerned
In the exhibition were thin six-sided
plates of ice, never more than one mil
limeter in diameter. When the wind
blows, these little plates are upset, and
the columns Of light caused by reflec-
ton from their surfaces disappear.

It is on a paying basis and is quite valuable asset. Hornaday has not been in the city for two weeks. His departure was coin cident with two suits filed against him in Squire Blooms court by employees who claimed back salary. Constable James Meyers found Hornaday at the Emery hotel and attached his personal effects. The broker, however, got friend to aid him, which, coupled with a check for s he gave to the constable, caused the constable to raise the attachment. The check was on the Queen City Savings bank, but it was not honored. The furni- ture in Hornadays office was sold at auction to satisfy the claims
 None of Rich's Paper.
 "President Julian, of the Queen City bank stated last night that the bank had at present no loan whatever bearing A. L. Richs name. He stated that in the past the bank had done business with Rich as they had with other brokers, and that the Queen City bank was at all times doubly protected on the Rich loans. and that they had been taken mp when called. He was emphatic in his statement that there was at present no paper in the bank bearing Rich's name.
 "So far as known there are only S25, 900 outstanding loans on the forged bonds, and these will, no doubt. be covered by Rich's equities in pending deals. MT. Briggs has taken care of the s65,OO0 for which he was jointly responsible with Rich. The entire $1o0Oo0 issue of Wood county bonds was forged, but s10.000 was taken up by Rich when the genuine bonds matured and he thus escaped discovery then"

 .'Rich's name has from time to time been connected with many financial schemes, as are all bond houses His most gigantic scheme of recent endeavor was a consolidation of number of electric interurban lines in the vicinity of Wheel ing. w Va, and the construction of a bridge across the Ohio river. This plan involved the formation and floating of a corporation having a capital of something like Sl0.000000. J. P. Hornaday was inter ested with him in this.
 Tn the local field Rich was best known through his control of the John Steptoe- Shaper company. one of the large ma chine tool industries of this city. It was reported some time ago that he had sold his interest in this company to Robert Wuest, secretary of the National Metal Trades association. but this deal Is also said to have failed. It was the plan of MT Wuest to retire as secretary of the National Metal Trades association and be- came president and general manager of the business himself.
 Rich was also heavily interested in Kentucky properties. especially at Louis vile where he invested in bank stocks. He is said to be director of one of the big Louisville banks.
 Broker J. P. Hornady. who until two weeks ago had offices in the Mercantile Library building was associated with Rich in many of his enterprises, but his name has not been connected with that of Rich in any of the flatter's extensive for geries. Among the deals which Hornaday
