There has been no fighting with TIE
government troops.
A provisional government has 5een
established and General Legitine has
accepted the presidency OF the new
administration.
The events of the morning came
before they were expected. Uneasi-
ness was noticed throughout the
night on the part of the people, but
it was not thought that the outbreai;
would occur so quickly, nor that the
movement would be successful with
out the shedding Of a drop of blood.
The deposed president, Nord AL
exis, is still at the palace, The mem.
bers Of the diplomatic corps were in
conference at 9 o'clock for the pur-
pose Of taking measures to facili.
tate and hasten the departure of
Nord Alexis from the republic.
The coup has been remarkably
successful. All the remaining min
listers, together with the military Of
fcials under Nord Alexis, have taken
refuge in the various foreign lega-
tons These are the same men who

State Treasurer Dinehart in re-
cent address on the cost of running
the Minnesota government submitted
some very interesting figures con-
corning the states liabilities and re-
sources. Very few people ever take
the pains of finding out what it costs
to operate the state governmental
machinery and the only time there is
any interest manifest at all is at cleo
ton time when the figures are, usual

there is 800, O00, 900 feet of standing

A large and enthusiastic audience
gathered at the armory on Tuesday
evening, when exercises commemora-
tive of St. Patrick's Day were held.
The program was an interesting one
thruout, and consisted of several ex-
cellent musical selections, and an adj
dress by Rev. DR.. Moynihan, president
of st. Thomas college. The address
was especially interesting, as the
speaker was well acquainted with his
subject and is pleasant speaker. He
spoke of the history of Ireland, of
Irish traits of character, and of the
revival of the Irish language. The
program in detail was as follows:-

at least is compelled to borrow money.
Today the state of Minnesota owes
$3.50, 900, which, within q month,
however, will be cut by $780, 900, max
ing it one of the very few states in
the Union which owes so very little

with the prospects when all the state
lands are sold of reaching from $2O,-

now in possession are in the neighbor-
hood of 2, zoe, 900 acres, most of which
is swamp land in the northern part of

drainage commission, however, will
soon make this property valuable,
and mean in the end, much revenue.
"Since the organization of the state
the yearly taxes from all sources have
increased at rate seldom seen in
state government. In 1858 the tax
receipts amounted to 1854 900; in 1907

A Woman of Mystery.

In these days of melodrama with
it's many thrills and farce comedy,
vaudeville with its froth and musical
comedy, it is refreshing to see liter
airy dramatization looming up for

Portrayed by an actress of sterling
worth, good broad American sense
and withal woman. Gorgeous cost
umes in keeping with the upper ten
don the Partisan aristocracy of the
