The great empire of McLea1

M. F. Minehan has been chosen
on the board of the institution d

In the evolution of ownership

influential paper, the Garrison In
dependent, Mr. Minehan's name
now appears at the masthead as
''owner."
In flaming head lines the last is
sue of the Independent accuses
Senator A. E. johnson Of Mclean
county, guilty of TREACHERY.
True Mr.. johnson did vote to
confirm Mr.. Minehan's appoint
ment. When he considered the
fact that for fourteen years, Mr..
Minehan resided in Armstrong
precinct and during all that time
stood by his democratic coIors;
when he took into account the in
fuence Of this disciple OF Jetfer-
son and of jackson and of Cleve-
land-always able to control his
own vote-never allowing Arm
strong precinct to return a unani-
nous vote-always 43 or a. to 1,
and that one the doughty and ire
pressable Minehan: when Senator
johnson considered, from four
years of personal knowledge of his
mental condition, and the peculiar
fitness of this appointee in connec-
ton with the institution of
and mindful of Gov
ernor Burke's anxiety to find
the one man in all Mclean county
possessing the qualifications re-
quired without hesitation Mr.,
Johnson voted in the senate to
confirm the appointment.
Treachery though it may be-, the
of Mclean county must
make the best of it.
If Mr.. Minehan's influence, in
this position, approaches that ex-
erted during fourteen years in the
precinct in which he liyed-where
he was always able to control his
own vote--then his party and his
association on the staff of the Nc
Lean County Independent may
congratulate themselves that when
it came to the recognition of Nc
Lean county the present state adj
.inistration very properly coupled
the lone democrat of
Armstrong, with the institution
Of reform. Happy thought.
Eternal fitness. Splendid recog-
of Mclean county.-Times.

ever, the long distance lines must run.

for some distance under ground. The
loss Of efficiency in what are called
the substation loops-that Is to say,
the lines between the central Offices
and the subscribers telephones re-
duces the distance of possible trans
mission a full third. This is because
of the resistance offered to the pas

by the small wires that have to be
used in underground cables and in
the wiring of buildings, and so on.

ditions, as would be produced by add
ing $50 miles of line.

The meeting of the board of con-

CHARGES ST. CLOUD.
BANKER WITH
FRAUD
H. J. Haskamp is Defendant in
Action Just Started by
Receiver Swords.

Since the return of Cashier Jake
Erickson of the defunct Minot National
bank to the federal penitentiary, the
public seems to have lost sight of the
banks affairs and many were inclined
to believe that this was the last to be
heard of the matter.
Receiver Swords has been quietly
working, however, and Friday filed
papers in the case against the former
president of the bank, H. ]. Haskamp
Of st. Cloud, MIMI, for the recovery
Of quarter section of land located
four miles south of Minot, which 1t is
claimed Haskamp secured from the
banks assets in fraudulent manner.
A general rumor is afloat to the effect
that this move on the part of Receiver
Swords is but the beginning to pyro-
technical display Of thunder that will
be exploded in connection with the
Minot National bank within a short
time.
1t is generally understood that
President Haskamp was indicted by
the federal grand jury recently, in a
session in Grand Forks, and that he
is now under bond awaiting hearing.
There is an air of mystery surround
ing the proceedings and it is evident
that the authorities do not care to
make their movements public at this
time.

Elmer Garfield Suspected of Being
Blackie, Claims to Have Lived In
Montana for Six Months Past,

According to Detective Batten of the
Northern Pacific, Elmer Garfield, who
is believed to be "Blackie," the MUIR
derer of Officer Personals, is trying to
establish an alibi.
Garfield claims that for the past six
months he resided in Whitefish, Mont,
where he worked in a saloon and
where he was recently married. His
story is being investigated by the VAL
ley City authorities. If it should de-
velop that Garfield's story is true and
that he was in Whitefish the length of
time he claims he will undoubtedly be
discharged from custody.

The Cocaine Curse.

The cocaine evil is more rampant
in some Southern cities than it is here
and the need of measures of special
severity to represent it is fully rec
ognized. The drug is so easy to con-
ceal and carry about, and it's effect
upon the nervous system so prompt
and potent, that it's use seems to have
come about as handy substitute for
alcohol, warranted to make the drunk
come" quicker than the strongest
tanglefoot. At all events, it has taken
hold on an element of the population
in various cities, and as its use spreads
1t leaves trail of insanity and death.
The increase of insanity among the
colored population is already very
marked, and this new vice will aug
ment the influences that are already
overcrowding the public asylums.
