DID YOU
KNOW THIS

The voters of the state are called
upon at this falls election either to
accept or reject three constitutional
amendments provision for the sub
mission of which was made by the
last general assembly. These amend
ments, or at least one of them, is the
most important question which the
voter will be called upon to decide
1t provides for the creation of
board composed of the governor, sec
retary of state, the auditor, the at
torney general and the state treas
urer that shall be known as the bond
ing board, and whose duty it will be
to examine into all of the warrants
authorized by the seventh general
assembly which are now held by the
school fund, and by parties residing
/ in the east. The board after exam
ining into these warrants is auth
orized to issue bonds not to exceed
SS73,457.94 bearing interest at 3
per cent and to redeem the outstand-
ing warrants using as much of the
above sum as is necessary.
The redemption can only beat the
face value and no interest whatever
will be paid on the warrants redeem
ed. The warrants have accrued in
terest amount to over S2.0O0.OOO.
Provision is only made for the re-
demption of them at their original
face value.
OF the 100000 outstanding over
100000 of the debt belongs to the
school fund from which the state is
not deriving one cent of interest If
the amendment carries, bonds to this
amount can be issued, and the school
fund will receive 3 per cent or little
over S 1000 annually
OF the other S275.000 the war
rants are held principally by Boston
and New York parties. This amend
ment has been before the people
twice, but was voted down. At each
! time. however, it provided for the
payment of the warrants with inter
est, and there was general impress
sion that the amount provided to be
issued was too much. This time the
interest is deducted and bonds can
only be issued for the original
amount of money borrowed under
the warrants.
A second amendment increases the
salary of the governor from $4,000
to 1000 per year and provides for
regular salary for the governors
private secretary of So, 500 per year.
At the present time the secretary gets
whatever the legislature is inclined
to give him. 1t also raises the sal
aries of the supreme court judges
from $4,000 to $500 year and
the salaries of district judges from
S4 900 to $1,000 a year.
The third amendment provides for
the regulation of county precincts
and other officers, and for the classi-
fication of the several counties in the
state according to population and for
the fixing of the compensation of the
officers of the county according to
the population thereof. 1t provides
for the establishment of scales of fees
to be charged and collected by the
county officers for services rendered.

GIFTS FROM COL. SHEEHAN
Presents the Historical Society With
Rifle and Indian Arrows.

st. Paul, May 27.-Colonel Timothy
J. Sheehan, S3l Ashland avenue, has
donated to the Minnesota Historical So
ciety's museum, the rifle presented by
President Pierce to Holein -the-Day in
1853, and four arrows shot by Sioux
into Fort Ridgley for setting it afire
in the siege, Aug. %, 1862.
This rifle is said to have killed sixty
two Sioux, shot by Holein -the-Day in
the years lS53lS62. 1t came, in 1886,
to Colonel Sheehan, from Captain John
G. Morrison, mixed blood, of White
Earth reservation, who was captain of
police there when Colonel Sheehan was
the Indian agent, lSS5-S9. 1t is a six
shooter, loaded with cartridges at the
breach, and was one of the earliest
colts military rifles. This rifle was
in the fire burning Captain Morrison's
house at White Earth, by which the
stock was destroyed, in 1885.
Burning punk was attached to the
heads of these arrows, which were shot
into the sides and roof of Fort Ridg-
ley. The fort caught fire in two places,
but the fire was quickly put out by
Officers Randall and Gere. Two of
these arrows were given to Colonel
Sheehan by Major B. H. Randall, and
the other two by Captain Thomas p.
Gere.

Against Several Bad Things.

One of the employees of Gollmar

Mankato Saturday, was accidentally
killed at Spring Valley on Monday
evening. 1t appears that the man got

the circus train left Spring Valley at
midnight he attempted to board one
of the cars, but in doing so he slipped
and fell on the track and was in
stantly crushed to death by the wheels
of the car. The train was stopped,
the body picked up, and buried at
Spring Valley at the expense of the
circus company.

day for the Gollmar Bros. circus. One
of their employees getting intoxicated,
attempted to enter dance hall with
out a ticket. He was thrown down a
flight of stairs and had one leg broken.
Several of the other employees also got
intoxicated and engaged in fierce

several were badly injured.
A storm broke out at Spring Valley

From Tuesdays Daily.
William p. Jones, an old resident of
this county, died yesterday at Lake
Crystal, of pneumonia. He had only
recently returned from California,
where he spent the winter. He caught
cold after returning, and it rapidly de-
velOped into pneumonia.
Mr. Jones was born in Wales July
10, 1928, coming to America in l849,
settling first at Utica, n. Y, and three
years later in jackson county, Ohio.
There he assisted in building the first
railway through the county, having
charge of the ballasting through the
deep, rocky cuts, as he had had eX-
perience in Welsh coal mines. He aft
erwards helped to establish the Jeffer-
son Iron furnace and was one of the
original stockholders. On July 3, 1852,
he married Miss Margaret Walters, and
in 1856 moved with his family to
Blue Earth county and located on a
farm in Cambria, where he spent most
of his life. In 1892 he retired and
took up his home at Lake Crystal.
Was a Member of Legislature.
In 1876, Mr. Jones was elected to
the state legislature, and served one
term. He held number of town of
fees and was one of the founders of
Horeb church in Cambria, and during
his residence there was one of its
principal pillars.
Mr. Jones is survived by his wife
and a number of sons and daughters,
as he raised large and excellent fam
lily. His many friends regret his death.

WILL BE ORNATE STRUCTURE
New First National Bank Building
Makes Fine Showing.

Removal of the staging on the new
National Citizens bank building today
revealed a marked improvement in
the building. The fourth story and
cornice had been entirely rebuilt in
style that harmonizes nicely with the
architecture of the first story.
Within a few weeks the three top
story walls will be treated to coats
of a special kind of paint which will
make them closely match the Bedford
stone used in the first story. This
paint is very durable and manufactured
expressly for the purpose to which
it will be put in this instance.
The new bank building when compile
ted, it is promised, will be one of the
most ornate structures in the business
section of the city.

ACT AS GUIDE TO TRAVELLERS
Illuminated Signs to Be Affixed to the
Trolley Cars.

Illuminated signs in proper place will
be displayed on all street cars tomorrow
to guide those who are strangers in
the city or who are not yet familiar
with the operating plan on the Man
kato trolley lines.
The signs will be located in the
usual place and are affixed to rollers
that they may be easily changed.
This plan will it is expected end all
confusion and delays that are now be-
ing caused by people boarding wrong
cars.
Another improvement to be made at
once by the trolley company is the
removal of the turnout just south of
the Milwaukee railroad crossing and
its installation at point on the turn
south of Doxey's drug store. The
siding has never been of use in pres
ent location but in the new place will
exactly equalize distance for the twelve
minute service plan.

Harry finally agreed to do so, and
they at once began to figure on some
way for accomplishing their purpose.
At first it was planned to murder
the woman in her bed and when the
matter came, to be explained claim
that the house had been held up and
that the robber shot Mrs. North.
Place Bomb Under Bed.
This plan was given up and it was
decided to place a bomb under the
bed and say that an attempt had been
made to blow up the safe. However, this
plan was also given up and the bro
ther L. Il. Montgomery, suggested that
Harry shoot her through the window
some night.
The brother insisted at all times
that he be absent from the city on
business when the deed be committed
for fear suspicion would point toward
him. Harry claims that all arrange
ments had been made for the murder
about month previous to the attempt
and that his brother had gone to
Spokane with the intentions that Harry
murder Mrs. North while he was alb
sent from the city, but that he weak
ened and lost his nerve when the time
came and had to abandon the at
tempt.
Wanted Woman Out of the Way.
After the brother returned to Elk
they talked it over again and the
brother decided to go to Rochester,
Mimi, for which place he left April
90 Before leaving he urged Harry to
keep up his nerve and be sure and
have the woman out of the way before
he returned from his trip.
The night of May l, was the time
fixed for the dastardly crime and so
as to be sure and not lose heart this
time Montgomery filled up on whisky
that evening. He was in the bar
room i'm the hotel at $3.50 when a man
who had been playing cards with Mrs.
North and her daughter came from
their room into the barron. Knowing
that the woman would soon retire and
that they would have to pass win
dow in going to their bedroom, he
Immediately left the hotel bar room
and reached the window just as Mrs.
North was passing and fired. The wo-
man threw up her hands and fell to
the floor.
Reloaded His Revolver.
Montgomery then ran up stairs to
his room where he took the empty
shell from his revolver and replaced it
with loaded one and ran down stairs
where a crowd had gathered around
the injured woman.
Soon after Harry Montgomery was
arrested his brother returned from Ro-
chester and he was also taken into
custody Efforts were made to exert
a confession from him also but he was
still holding out, although it is said
that he told the prosecuting attorney
that he did not see any other course
for him to follow than to plead guilty.
At present, both are held under
$1,000 bonds, Harry to answer the
charge of criminal assault with intent
to kill and his brother with being an
accessory before the fact of an as
sault with intent to kill, chargeable
as principal.
