ing this fund was never submitted to
me for an opinion as to its legality,
and cannot even now pass on it as
1 am unacquainted with its contents,
but there is in my Office an opinion
which has suficed to discourage such
measures in the past. 1t was given
to the senate in 1895 by Gen. Childs
and was in answer to a request from
Frank Day, who was then its presiding
officer. How that opinion would cover
this law | do not know, but even in
the absence of it and the doubt which
exists, I am positive no money will
ever be paid out under the law until
the courts have been consulted. y
The law, as passed and signed by
the governor, provides for an appro-
priation of $4,000 5000, 900 in 1907
and 100000 in 1908. This under the
constitution is claimed to be impos-
sible. Interior improvements, which
mean roads and bridges, are explicitly
provided for in the constitution
through the medium of revenue re-
ceived from lands set aside for that
purpose and one-twentieth mill tax.
these two sources at present realize
$50, ZOO year and no higher sum, the
lawyers say, can be appropriated.

TEDIOUS TERM ON AT ST. PETER
Judge Olsen Finds the NicolIet
County Calendar an I'm
usually Long one.

The spring term of the district court
for Nicollet county was convened yes
terday forenoon with Judge Olsen in
charge. The calendar is long one but
not without interest. The most inn
portant suit, perhaps, is that brought
by Gustaf Widell of Mankato against
W. G. Hoerr and the National Citi-
zens' bank of that city. The plaintiff
claims that he arranged for loan of
$4,000 from Mr.. Hoerr, and agreed
to give mortgage on farm in Lake
Prairie township as security. When
he was given the money, he says, he
issued five $4,000 notes for the face of
the loan and gave sixth note of
$4,000 as premium. This, he declares,
constituted usurious rate of interest,
and he asks that the defendants cancel
their notes and surrender the mort
gage.
Another interesting suit is brought
by G. A. Hagberg and Hoidale&Som-
sen of New Ulm against twenty Nicol-
let county farmers. Several years ago,
when the waters of Swan lake were
very low, an effort was made to re-

GIDEON ives TELLS OF RARE find
Former St. Peterite Has Interest.
ing Story OF Archaeolo.
Sical Value.

Former Lieutenant Governor Ives,
the well-known attorney, gives his
personal certiication to the truth of
one of the most emarkable stories that
has ever come to light in regard to
prehistoric conditions in this country
He states that on cutting down and
splitting huge hard maple tree in the
woods near ST. Peter, a giant of the
forest four feet in diameter, there were
found in the very heart of the tree only
an inch or so from the center, five or
six cuts or slashes in the wood, I'M
doubleday made in the tree while it was
still a small sapling by some very
sharp instrument, as sharp and thin
edged as the best steel tools of to-day.
The concentric growth rings of the
tree, on being carefully counted,
showed it to have an age of at least
400 years, and this fact, taken in con-
nection with the presence of the slashes
at the heart Of the tree, prove beyond
all possible doubt that in the forest
near the present site of st. Peter,

CHARACTERISTIC EPIGRAMS
OF THE IRON CHANCELLOR.

We cannot hasten the course of time
by setting our watches forward.
Passions are like the. trout in my
pond; one devours the other until only
enc fat old trout is left.
Whoever has once looked into the.
glazed eyes of a dying soldier on the
battlefield will think twice before be-
ginning war.
Equality is the daughter of envy and.
covetousness.
Every great man has some flaw,
just as good apple has its speck.
The life of nation is crowned with
success only so far as its people have
Teuton blood in their veins and so long
as they preserve the characteristics of
that race.
I deceive all diplomats by telling
them the truth.
By 'sthe people" every one means
that which suits his purpose usually
a haphazard collection of individuals
whom he has won over to his own
views.
Let us leave our children problem.
Or two; they might find the world very
tiresome if there were nothing left for
them to do.

WILL BOOST THE PRICE OF WHEAT
American Society Of Equity to
Meet For that Purpose
in June.

In the five great wheat producing
states of the country the minimum
price of the cereal this year will be 81
a bushel. This, at least, is the plan
OF the American Society of Equity,
the grain-growers department of which
will hold its annual convention in
Omaha June 5, 6, and T. Minnesota,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka, Kansas and many other states will
send large delegations to the conven-
ton.
President Everett, of indianapolis,
in explaining the scope of this
society said: 'sThe American Society
of Equity is a business organization
of farmers with local societies in 2,7OO
of the 5000 agricultural counties in
the United States. Beginning with the
convention at Omaha in June central
bureau will furnish information con-
corning supply and demand, fix a
minimum of price below which the
farmers agree not to sell, and handle
the grain SO as to avoid glut of the
market at any point at any time The
state union of North Dakota at it's
annual meeting was invited by the
State Bankers association to appoint
a committee to confer with one com
posed of bankers, to arrange for
carrying along the poor farmers who
might be forced to sell below the mini
mum price"
New Ulm review. (New Ulm, Brown County, Minn.) 1892-1961, 1907-05-08

AS a speaker, Prince Bismarck, the
great German chancellor, claimed no
merit. He said of himself: 81 am no
orator. am not able, by juggling
with words, to work upon your feel
lngs and obscure facts. My speech
is clear and simple. "And so it was.
Both his parliamentary utterances
and his private talks abounded in apt
illusions, striking phrases and cpl
grams that were full of point. Those
that are given here illustrate not only
the felicity of his diction, but also
some OF the mental characteristics of
this most remarkable statesman.
Not by speeches and resolutions are
great questions decided, but by iron
and blood.
The dread of responsibility is a
disease of our times.
Not the people of the cities, but the
people of the country, make nation.
My ambassadors must wheel around
like non-commissioned officers at the
word of command, without knowing
why.
Gladstone played with words so long
that after while words played with
him.
