Besides claiming distinction as presi-
dent of the Great Northern railroad.
Mr.. Hill has transacted some of the
greatest deals in history. 1t will be re-
membered that one of the largest bus
mess transactions that ever occurred
between human beings and cEe of the
most profitable contracts that was ever
made in history OF mankind, was when
James J. Hill leased the $1,000 acres of
iron ore lands belonging to the Great
Northern railroad to the United States
Steel corporation. Mr.. Hill bought
these lands for about s5,000,000. He
sold the mineral rights for royalty
on all the ore that is taken out, start
ing at rs cents a ton and advancing
each year at the rate of 21a cents ton
until it finally reaches 81 ton. The
lowest estimate of the ore in the prop
erty covered by the lease is 100000, 900
tons. and some experts have put the
total as high as 1.000.00o,0O tons. The
royalties upon the products of these
mines which are q part. of the present
and future income of the stockholders
of the Great Northern railway, will
therefore amount to not less than $780,
600 000 and may reach as high as ST.,
600 600. COO without the slightest cost or
risk All the stockholders have to do
is to stand still and take the money.
Another prominent man on the plank
is Congressman Burton of Cleveland,
who accepted nayoralty nomination
against Scent fare Tom Johnson.
The other members of the party
while less prominent, are scarcely less
important They embrace members of
both houses of congress and gentlemen

After Six Years Mrs. Philo Bennett
FOrgives Him. s2H

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 3o.-wil-
liam Jennings Bryan wound up his
feud of six years with Mrs. Philo
Sherman Bennett here. Mrs. Bennett
opposed her husbands bequest of
$4,000 to Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan. In the
presence of 10000 persons, Mr.. Bryan
left the. platform from which he had
delivered a eu1ogy on the deeds of
Mr.. Bennett, forced his way to the
carriage in which Mrs. Bennett and
her friends sat. and extended his hand
in token of a desire for peace.
Mrs. Bennett has kept UP hostility
to Mr.. Bryan to the present time, and
instead of sitting on the platform with
Mr.. Bryan as a. guest of the city, she
chose to sit in a carriage. She took
Mr.. Bryan's hand, however, and they
talked pleasantly for several minutes.
They parted on terms of renewed
friendship. Mr.. Bryan's speech was
delivered incident to giving the city a
SIS, 900 memorial fountain left to New
Haven by the terms of Mr. Benefits
will, of which Mr.. Bryan was executor.
The will was drafted by Mr.. Bryan
and contained sealed packet, on
which was written the Bryan bequest
Mrs. Bennett contested this part OF
the will and it was thrown out of
court. Since that time she had never
spoken to Mr.. Bryan.

st. Louis school does not adhere to the
same rules of eligibility that govern the
other Missouri valley teams. ST. Louis
university has a great football aggrega-
ton, defeated by Wabash it is true,
but nevertheless a football team that
would elicit favorable comment any
where. But it is more professional
team than an amateur eleven. Only in
St. Louis will the Cochems team be
credited with the Missouri valley cham
pionship. Ames bases its claim to the
honor by right of an alleged field goal
in the Nebraska game, which Referee
Outland disallowed. Ames declares the
play was legal, but Outland'S decision
is final and the game will go down in
history as 10 to 8 victory for the
Cornhuskers. This disposal of Ames.

SHE SCRUBBED HIM.
School Teacher Enforced an Order for
Cleanliness ON 14-Year-Old Boy.

Chicago. Nov. 30.-Mfss AIbertina

up her sleeves and by vigorous applica-
ton of muscle and a scrubbing brush
succeeded in maintaining discipline and
cleanliness in her school.

and from outward appearances as
strong as the teacher, was the victim
of her activities. Forty-six pupils en-
joyed an exciting half hour, at the end
of which the teacher was fatigued but
determined. and Brant was several
shades whittier.
Several days ago Miss Lehman be-
gan crusade against dirty vishges,
but Brant said he was going to wear
his face the way he pleased.
When the boy reached school in the
morning he saw standing upon the
teachers desk a great pail of soapy
water and at it's side a brush Miss
Lehman called him to the front of the
room and the combat started. The
teacher soon gained the advantage.
She then unbuttoned the collar of his
shirt and rolled back his sleeves, after
which she applied the scrub brush.
Principal A G. Deaver and the school
janitor had concealed themselves in
the hallway in order to meet any emer-
gency, but their services were not
needed.

TO SAVE HER DAUGHTER.
A Mother Confesses to the Crime of
Forgery.

New York, Nov. 30.-In an attempt to
save her daughter from Imprisonment
on a charge of aiding and abetting
forgery, Mrs. Mary Alice Dollinger to-
day confessed to the. crime and did all
she could to impress the authorities
that the daughter Alice knew nothing
about the transaction for which she is
under arrest. Both mother and daugh-
ter were held for trial.
1t is claimed by the authorities that
several months ago Mrs. Helen Ffgge
placed piece of property in the hands
of Henry Dollinger for sale. A short
time later, it is alleged Alice Dollinger,
his 17-year- daughter, went to Mrs.
Figge for the deeds and other papers
connected with the title to the land,
saying that her father had found a
purchaser. The papers were given to
the girl. Soon afterward Dollinger and
his daughter, accompanied by another
woman went to the office of a loan bro
ker and the strange woman signed Mrs.
Figge's name, to papers calling for a
loan of Sc. 900 on the property. This wo-
man, it is claimed, was Mrs. Dolinger.
Dollinger was arrested some days ago
but jumped his bail and has disappear

RIPLEY'S REPLY.
President of Santa F'e Criticises Judge
Wellbourne's Decision.

Chicago, Nov. 30.-In signed
statement in the current issue of the
Railway Age, E. P. Ripley, president
of the Santa Fe road, has taken to
task Judge Melbourne of the United
States court at Los Angeles for having
fined the railroad $330.Ooo for pay
ment of rebates.
After giving a long explanation of
the case to show that it was a mistake
of a clerk and one of which the Off
GERS of the company were unaware
and saying that he believes the court
to have erred from a misunderstand-
ing of the conditions and not from a
desire to be sensational, Mr.. Ripley
says:
II refrain from comment except to
put before fair minded business men
these questions:
What incentive had the clerk to
violate the strict orders from his
superiors to conform to the law? If
there was no incentive. is it not more
than a fair presumption that he did
not intend to violate the law? If
without incentive and without intent
he did under a strict technical con-
struction violate the law to the extent

He would not pardon many convicts;
nor would he work overtime upon the
conservatory Of his soul. He would
put in office a lot of fellows who had
career of political ups and downs,
mostly ups, but he would see that they
discharged the duties of their offices
and kept clear of scandals. We can not
imagine him frowning upon one of his
appointees for accepting the perquisites
and emolumentS that the machine
standard of ethics permit and that the
machine system has developed to such
high standard of perfection for the
enrichment of those who serve the
public. It would never be necessary for
one of his appointees to borrow money.
And yet Leland administration would
get things done, and get them done

would run a great political machine.
But the machine would be perfect in
every cog. And it would run fair half
of the time upon the states grist.
