does not justify 30 high a mar

is thus withdrawn, Money rates

the poor speculator, unable to
pay freight drops out of the
game or is squeezed out to use
the vernacular of Wall Street.
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS
Senator Owen also advocated
the publicity of campaign contri-
buttons and the election of United
States senators by direct vote Of
the people. His reference to the
insincerity of the republican pos
ition with respect to the publicity
of campaign contributions was
loudly applauded. He said that
the republicans had promised
publicity after the election, but
that promise had come from only
one campaign source, namely,
MIR. Sheldon, treasurer OF the re.
publican national committee.
He wanted to know how the
treasurer Of the republican con-
gresaional committee viewed the
matter and inasmuch as the re-
publicans were 80 anxious to
publish contributions after the
election, inquired why they did
not meet MIR. Bryan's challenge
to have the contributions to the
campaign of 1896 and 1900 made
public.
Senator Owen in conclusion
paid a glowing tribute to the fl
deity and ability of Representa-.
tive Elmer L. Fulton, democratic
candidate for congress from the
second district, and in this con.
neotion said that the next house
of representatives surely would
be democratic-that that much
had already been accomplished
in this campaign.
"Speaker Cannon will be a
member of the minority; indeed,
it is doubtful whether he will be
a member at all" declared Sem
ator Owen.

Work.
Men work hard for power and pslf
and occasionally, we see some provi-
dent fellow working in the sunset OF
his life through force of habit. Few
men or women. however love work
for itself alone. Tom Sawyer much
preferred going in swimming to white
washing the fence about his home, and
many a boy has hoed potatoes with
heavy heart in undertaking time.
TO begin with, we don't take to work
as we do to play, but as we progress
through life's vale, we note that every
thing depends upon work-work with
the hands or the Drain--but work for
all that. Success is only attained
through effort Comfort, position, adu
lation OF the many, are but the master
pieces of labor. We soon learn the
lesson, set our eyes straight to the
front and upward and work! Many
oyerwork in their zeal to accomplish
great things, but these same tollers,
with the prizes gone, would work lit
tie. The fact is, joy of work, indie
per t of results, is most exquisitely
felt those who don't have to toll!
The .Obo that dreamed he was work
ing and awoke with cry of consterna-
tlon. is not a fit illustration, but the
fact remains that none of us are too
fond of work because it is work.

Senator Owen Speaks

said Senator owen was S23, at
the time referred to by Mr.. Taft
and now is S33 or an increase Of
approximately 90 per cent,
BY series Of deductions Sem
ator Owen showed that every
panic since 1872 could properly
be traced to the republicans be-
cause the republicans have been
in power all that time with the
exception Of two years and dur
ing all that time failed to give
the country a remedy.

said Senator Owen" and there

remedy is needed for tho future
ae expressed faith in the bill as
panic panacea and said that
while he did not vote for the
measure in it's final shape he
nevertheless would have done 80
il his had been the deciding vote.
He declared the cause OF panic
to be the withdrawal OF bank de-
posts and that the currency bill
passed last year will enable the
banks of the country to follow
out the English, German and
French idea of issuing emergen-
cy money at a high rate Of inter-
est to take the place OF that with
drawn by the people during
financial disturbances. He
claimed credit for having pre-
sehted to the United States sen.
ate in 1900 this feature in the
shape of an amendment which
was offered to a currency bill
then pending in congress but
was defeated by Senator Aldrich,
who Senator owen says eight
years later comes along and ad-
mits is the only solution Of the
problem and makes it part of his
own bill.
He charged predatory wealth
and Wall Street interests with
controlling the money credit OF
the country and that the banks
of the country were being made
the agencies of their manipu"
Iations of the stock market. The
bull movement in Wall Street for
the last three years and until the
recent panic, he declared, was
an artificial movement engi-
neered by unsc!upulous mon
who were authorizing the banks
OF the country to extend credit
freely to men speculating in
stocks and bonds-mostly stocks
"It is this liberal credit busi.
ness that fosters bull move

Says political writer in the ST.

1.-THE annual meeting of the State

politicians to the city and one result
OF their gathering was to launch a
boom for George W. Somerville of
Sleepy Eye for the Office of attorney
general in the event that E. Z. Young,
the incumbent Of the Office, becomes a
candidate for the nomination for
governor.
"Mr. Somerville is one of the promi-
nent attorneys of his section of the
state and served two terms in the state
senate, representing the Nineteenth
district, consisting of Brown and Red
wood counties. An achievement of
his legislative career is the so-called

ations doing business in this state,

Finding Nothing to Work On the.
Pinkerton Agents Abandon
Case to Local Authorities.
Probability, Therefore, that Chris.
Walther's Ending Will Always
be Shrouded in Mystery.
A Half Dozen Theories Chased
Down Offer Absolutely No
Clue to Solution.
Opinion Expressed by Some, After
Careful Investigation, that
Walther Was Not MUIR
dered at All.

Investigation into the mystery sur
rounding the death of Chris. Walther,
at least as far as the Pinkerton agents
are concerned, came to sudden end
yesterday.
Detective Crawford so reported to
he council last evening, and if in the
future ANYTHING is to be done to ln-
ravel the bewildering problem it will
have to be done by the local sleuths
alone.
The Pinkertons say frankly that for
them to continue any longer in the case
would be useless expenditure of the
city's money.
During the ten days in which they
have been at work on the mystery they
have acted with absolute fairness and
unfailing activity.
Not stone has been left unturned;
not thing overlooked.
Every person against whom gossip
could throw the slightest faint of sus-
picion have been placed under strict
est surveillance.
Doubtful characters, deemed capa-
BILE of such crime, have been placed
in the sweat-box and subjected to a
grilling examin alton.
Even the coroner's jury was kept in
| the harness for over week in order
that Witnesses might be placed under
oath.
Relatives were closely questioned,
and one of them, nephew, narrowly
escaped arrest.
In other words everything was done
/ that could be done.
But it was all to no purpose.
Every supposed clue that was rur
down proved a deception.
In fact there is nothing about the
whole affair, save the box outside the
door, to prove positively thatit wasn'
a suicide instead of murder, ano
the evidence as to the position of the
box is by no means certain.
The detectives, Of course, lean tc
the murder theory, but with absolutely
nothing to work on Mr. Crawford says
it is useless to go any further.
Thus the Walther affair promises
to go down in the history of New Uln
as another of those terrible tragedies
unexplained and UNPUBLISHED.
| Mr. Crawford left for st. Paul thi.
morning. The city council is satisfied
with what he has done and agrees Will
him that the best thing to do under tn,
circumstances was to quit.
