s"B. r. Hutchinson used to say no
burglar ever could get into his house
without waking him." said q central
station detective the other day, accord
ing to the Chicago Record Herald, shut
it remained for Chief Simon OsDonnell
to. put one over the famous trader.
s'You know. Mr.. Hutchinson was ia
nous In Chicago's commercial life
years ago and was known popularity MS
old Hutch He prided himself on the
fact that burglars never had got into
his house and often boasted of the
fact to his intimates. One day while he
was at lunch with Chief O'Donnell and
q number Of other friends the com
pany fell to discussing a. crime that
had been committed the night before.
"I'd like to see any body get into my
house Mr.. Hutchinson said. Why, l
hear every tick Of the clock all night
"T'n bet you dinner for this
crowd said the chief, that can pro-
duce a man who will enter your house
and you will not know of his visit till
morning. -
"Mr. Hutchinson accepted the wager,
and it was agreed that he was to let
the chief have a latchkey, so that the
burglar could get in without being dis
turbed by some patrolman. Mr.. Hutch
inson also agreed to leave some article
Of value in the parlor where It could
be found readily The chief said the

Foreign Minister Raben Levet-Zau
has warned the people against agents
from the southern and southwestern
portions of the United States who are
now travelling in Denmark and trying
to induce Danish farm laborers to go
to said regions and hire out to the
farmers. Levet-Zau's objections are,
that the climate of the southwestern
part of the United States is not suit
able for the Scandinavians and that
the native laborers are rigorous COM
petitors. He also remarks that the
contracts offered by the AGENTS are
contrary to the immigration laws OF
the United States The agents will
no doubt find this warning to be a
great obstacle in their way.

Discovers Ore.

Faribault-William Leary, who
lives in the town of Walcott, several
miles south of this city, believes he
has discovered a mine, of either cop
per or magnetic iron ore on his farm.
A party from Faribault paid him a
visit and investigated the discovery.
A magnetic dip needle compass, used
by miners to locate mineral, Indicated
the presence of ore where Mr.. Leary
thinks the mineral is. Specimens of
rock were picked up that are rich in
some kind of mineral, which will be
assayed. During the last summer
lightning struck three times in the
same spot where the discovery is
located. From the specimens picked
up on various places on his farm the
indications point to a wide area of
mineral deposits. A number of the
specimens will be sent to the state
university.

State Assessment.

St. Paul-The estimated totA as.
essment of the property in Minnesota
for taxation purposes in 1907 will be
about $1,000,000,000, which is an in
crease of more than $100,O00,000 over
the assessment for 1906. Notices were
sent out recently by State Auditor
8. G. Iverson to the county auditors
notifying them that the rate of tax
alton required to raise the amount
necessary for defraying the various
state expenses for the ensuing year
is IN mills. This rate, which covers
the entire state levy for all purposes,
Is Z of mill higher than it was in
1906.
Based upon this valuation the levy
of IL mills for the state revenue fund
will produce about $1,70O,000, which is
the rate and amount fixed upon by
the legislature last winter. This rate
of IL mills for state revenue pur-
poses, which is the money used in
paying the expenses of the state gov
eminent, is a raise of S of mill.
The rate of levy for all of the other
funds remains the same as last year,
with the exception of the university
campus fund, which is new fund
created by the legislature last win
ter. The rate for this fund is 2 of
mill.
The 2A mills rate is made up of
the following amounts: Soldiers re-
lief fund, .0001; funding tax fund,
.OOO2; state revenue fund, .00O7; state
road and bridge fund, .00005; univer-
sity campus fund, .0002.

Alcohol as Fuel.

Use Of fuel in submarine boats. or
other hazardous places and the supe-
rior safety Of alcohol must lead to it's
ultimate adoption. If a can of gaso-
line is left open near a flame, it is
likely to explode by the ignition of
its vapor. This could never occur
with alcohol. Then, again, water is
useless to quench burning gasoline,
serving to spread the fire by floating
the burning liquid. Alcohol can never
present this danger, for it mixes with
water IN 81 prop ortions, and ii %
doing becomes nonrinfl ammable,

Fresh speed. For decades the Swe-

matters. But things are surely NOV
ing more rapidly after the dissolution
of the union. The press has men
toned an incident to prove this. On
the 4th of September a request was
made to the royal bailiff of Jonkop'
ing Ian for an appropriation for build
ing supporting walls for the Mas cas-
tie at Visingso; on Sept. 9Th the balm
forwarded the request to the king,
and it was referred to the academy
of antiquities Sept. Z; the executive
committee of this body considered the
matter and made report Sept. 9, and
the academy recommended the pro-
posed plan Sept. 10; the cabinet
(nominally, the king) appropriated
the money Sept. 10; and a check was
drawn on the exchequer for the neces-
sary amount Sept. IA, ten days from

Brutality Assaulted,

Duluth-Albert Sullivan, one of the
men employed as dock guard here
during the strike, was assaulted at
night and while unconscious was tied
to the track under an ore train with
straps torn from his shirt and left
there by the men who attacked him.
He is in the hospital, but has not
recovered consciousness sufficiently
to describe his assailants.
AS far as Sullivan has been able
to tell of the affair, his story is that
he was walking his usual rounds on
the docks about $3.50 o'clock D. M,
when two men approached him. One
of them engaged him in conversation
regarding the time of the departure
of some boat, and the other stepped
behind him. AS he turned toward
the second man he received terrific
blow on the head, and the last he
remembers is falling to the dock.
