every opportunity practice it. From
1888 to 1858 he seems to have followed
up Douglas as regular business dur.
Ing times of great political excitement,
ana only on one or two occasions did
ne find the Little Giant averse to q
conflict Here, in 1910, they came in
collision, as they did in 1899 and as
they continued to do through twenty
or more years, until Lincoln became
president of the United States and
Douglas disappointment were buried
with MS body. Once during this Har-
r1son campaign they had a fierce dis
cusslon before meeting assembled IN
the market house. In the course of his
speech Lincoln imputed to Van Buren,
the great sin of having voted in the
New YORK state convention for negro
suffrage with property qualification.
Douglas denied the fact, and Lincoln
attempted to prove his statement by
reading a certain passage from Hol-
land's Life Of Van Buren," contain
Ing letter from Van Buren, to one Mr..
F1th1an, whereupon douglas got
mad" snatched up the book and, toss
ing it into the crowd, remarked SEN
tentiously. although not conclusively,
Damn such bookv'
He was very sensitive" says Mr..
Gillespie, where he thought he had
failed to come up to the expectations
of his friends. I remember a case. He
was pitted by the Wings in 1910 to de-
bate with Mr. Douglas, the Democratic
champion. Lincoln did not come up to
the requirements of the occasion. He
was conscious Of his failure, and I
never saw any man so much DISTRESS
ed. He begged to be permitted to try
it again and was reluctantly INDUCED,
and in the next effort he transcribed
our highest expectations. I never
heard and never expect to hear such a
triumphant vindication as he then
gave Of Wing measures or policy. He
never after, to my knowledge, fell be-
low himself.''

Farmers DID for Gold,

Wlnona-Gold has been discovered
I'm this county, within a few miles Of
st. Charles. The ore was found on
the Gainey farm, and it is said that
there is a tract Of fifteen acres in
which pay dirt is plentiful.
The farm belongs to the family Of
Deputy Boiler Inspector Carney. The
first ore was discovered some time ago,
and, while the family was convinced
that there was gold present in con-
siderable quantities, before announce
ment Of the find was made samples
of the ore were sent away for assay.
The result, which has Just been re-
ceived, shows that the metal runs
in good pay quantities.
The first investigation indicated
that tract of about seven acres con-
tanned the pay dirt, but with further
prospecting it developed that there is
good ore to be found in fifteen acres.
Those interested are prepared to carry
on development work on a large scale
and will soon have arrangements to
that end completed.
The gold fever has caught practical
ly all the farmers in that section, and
they have left the more peaceful pur-
suit Of agriculture and have turned
prospectors. Spring work Is being
neglected while they dig holes in their
farms in the hope Of finding fortunes.

But. as in the lecture before the w.

impressive passage, his boldest imag-
cry and his most striking metaphor for
grand and vehement peroratiOn:

Don't Ask for Money!,

St. Paul-Thirty-f counties in the
state have not yet secured their share
of the money apportioned by the state
highway commission for good roads.
The law provides that the county COM
missioners Of each county shall desig-
nate state road upon which the
money is to be expended and they can
not secure the money until this Is
DONE The thirty-fve counties that
have not yet reported are in the
southern part Of the state where the
roads are better than those In the
northern part.
George w. Cooley Of the state high
way commission Is compiling figures
for the public road office at Washing
ton showing the amount Of money ex-
pended each year for roads in the
state. He has been two years getting
together his statistics and has COM
pleted the compilation for 1904. In that
year 1881, 1924 was spent for roads
in Minnesota. Mr.. Cooley estimates
that the expenditure for this purpose
in 1906 was $2,50O.o00.

THROUGH THE HOLE.
tended have done Sc more to spare me
af modification than in the hope of
being interested in anything may be
damp upon my spirits which I am sure
l shall be unable to overcome during
the evening.
1.-THE subject heretofore and now to
be discussed is the subtreasury scheme
of the present administration as
means of collecting, safe keeping,
transferring and disbursing the reve-
nues Of the nation as contrasted with
national bank for the same purposes.
Mr.. Douglas has said that we the
Whigs) have not dared to meet them
(the Locos) in argument on this ques-
ton. I protest against this assertion.
l say we have again and again during
ments against the subtreasury which
they have neither dared to deny nor
attempted to answer But lest some
may be led to believe that we really
wish to avoid the question I now pro-
pose in my humble way to urge these
arguments again, at the same time beg
ging the audience to mark we'll the po-
sitions l shall take and the proofs
shall offer to sustain them and that
they will not again allow Mr.. Douglas
or his friends to escape, the force Of
them by round and groundless asser-
ton that we dare not meet them in
argument.
"Of the subtreasury, then, as con-
trasted with a national bank, for the
before Enumerated purposes lay down
the following propositions, to wit:
"First.-It will injuriously affect the
community by it's operation on the cir
culating medium!
"Second.-It will be more expensive
fiscal agent.
"Third.-It will be less secure de-
pository for the public money"
Mr. Lincoln's objections to the sub
treasury were those commonly urged
by it's enemies and have been some
what conclusively refuted by the oper-
alton Of that admirable institution
from the hour of it's adoption to the
present. "The extravagant expendi-
tures' Of Mr.. Van Buren's adminisra-
ton, however, was standard topic Of
the Wings in those days, and, sliding
gracefully off from the subtreasury,
Mr.. Lincoln dilated extensively upon
this more attractive subject. This part
of his speech was entirely in reply to
Mr.. Douglas. But when he came to
answer Mr.. Lamborn's remarks he "g0t
in a hard hit'' that must have brought
down the house:

Bio Suit Transferred.

Minneapolis-By order Of Judge Fred
v. Brown the biggest personal injury
suit ever commenced in Hennepin
county has been transferred to the
federal court because the defendant is
an outside corporation. The case is
that of Michael Shema, as guardian
Of Annie Shema, against the Bemis
Brothers Bag Company.
Shema claims 100000 as the re-
suit of his daughters injuries in the
factory of the company. In some way
her hair was caught in a revolving
shaft and her scalp was torn from he1
head. Although the accident occurred
five months ago, the girl is still in the
city hospital, where she has submitted
to four skim grating operations.
