Threatening the State.


has received a letter from Edward L.
Andrews, representing what is known
as the committee of North Carolina
bondholders, with headquarters at
New York, these people holding the
notorious special tax bond which the
people of North Carolina in eonven-
ton 1875 and by popular vote re-
pudiated. These bonds have been
offered by the bondholders' COM
mittee to every other State, but the
various other governors have re-
fused to have anything to do with
them. The object Of the bond
holders is to make a gift to any State
or country which will bring suit
against North Carolina for these
bonds and their interest It is very
safe to say that no foreign country
will take such a step or that the
United States would countenance
such a proceeding.
Mr.. Andrews letter follows:
"In view Of the announcement that
your excellency is about to call an
extra session of the general as
sembly of North Carolina to legislate
-, roforopoo ~ Tho o;Iyu,u rotac ua
desire respectfully to invite your at
tention to the following matters.
This committee represents the hold
ers Of North Carolina bonds and has
made arrangements to donate bonds
and coupons of your State to the
amount Of three millions of dollars
to a foreign government. Such a
donation will result in subjecting
your State to heavy judgments and
will still leave liabilities outstanding
against the State to much larger
amount. No corresponding benefit
would accrue therefrom to indi-
vidual bondholders, but burden
some element would be introduced
against the State in effecting an adj
iustment. Therefore we desire to
involve your action under the pro-
visions of the constitution of North
Carolina. We urge upon you as a
crcditable resort in the present exig-
ency for both parties in interest the
passage of the proper legislative
measures for submission to the peo-
pie, in accordance with the provision
of your constitutional amendment
concerning the bonds in question. The
holders Of these securities fully APP
preciate the position which has been
urged on behalf of North Carolina
and only desire similar recognition
Of their equities by the people Of the
State. In that event the bondholders
now resort through you and the
general assembly to the explicit pro-
visions of the constitution. In any
event they respectfully submit that
! the circumstances above set forth
render it opportune to include this
subject in your call for special
session, if such inclusion be neces-
| sary to enable the general assembly
to act upon the MEASURE
The governor replied that North
Carolina had paid all its just debts
and even debts which it could not
have been made to pay and that the
people by their voice had declared
the special tax bond repudiated, and
that the legislature had done the
same thing twice, and that no pay.
~nent or settlement would be made
regarding these fraudulent bonds
This whole matter is in point of fact
o bluff, but North Carolina is on tc
it, and the so-called bondholders' as
ISOLATION can exist as long as il
pleases without getting a penny

A PSEUDO PRIEST,

Six Others of the Same Stripe Engaged in
Working the Public.
On Thursday a swarthy Individual
claiming to be a Greek priest was
here soliciting aims but ran against a
snag when he called upon Father Lev
ings, who, by interrogating the pre-
tended ecclesiast, discovered to his
satisfaction that the man was an i'm
postor. Rev. Levings gently informed
him that unless he left town with all
possible speed he would have him
placed under arrest. The fellow,
previous to visiting Father Levings,
had prevailed upon Rev. Heard to
give him a letter Of introduction.
This he presented to Father Levings,
who returned it, and the pseudo priest
took it with him to Milaca, where,
according to Fay Cravens of the Mile
Laos County Times, who was here on
Saturday, he was using it for the pur-
pose of furthering his ends.
Father Levings tells the Unto
that the church has the record of seven
of these impostors who are working
the haritably inclined people of the
country. It will be remembered that
two of them were doing the northwest
something like a year ago. At that
time one of them had the same expert
ence as the fellow on Thursday he
tried his little game on Father Lev
ings. ~
The pretender at issue is-or was
travelling under the name of Elias
Antony Dametry.

Alleged Mining Stock Swlndle.

Accused of swindling working girls
and laboring men out of their savings
amounting to $40, 1000, by selling min
ing stock alleged to be worthless,
Charles Broberg, who posed as
millionaire, and his associate, John
Barbrick, were arrested on Monday
night in New York city. Both men
will be brought to Minneapolis to face
their accusers, who number more than
one hundred, the police say.
Broberg formerly occupied Offices
in the New York Life building and
represented himself as an agent of the
California-Nevada Channel Gold
Mining company. He began selling
stock early in November, according
to the complaints, and left the city
about December l. The mining com
pany in which working girls and
laboring men think they hold stock
was sold outright last July to
larger company for $500 in cash.
This price included the machinery,
Office supplies and all property owned
by the company.
Church and temperance organiza-
lions whose members had saved
money for the purpose of doing uplift
work are the chief accusers. The
society which suffered the most was
the Swedish Temperance society,
whose members are said to have
paid several thousands of dollars for
the stock as an investment.

Party Honors In Congress.

A mass Of business having relation
to the next presidential canvass will
occupy the attention of the members
Of the Sixtieth congress in the opening
session. The majority will be able to
keep to it's course with little difficulty,
being well organized.
Leadership in the minority party
both in the house and in the senate is
to be determined. Senator Germans
death and the retirement Of Senator
Blackburn make choice Of chair
man Of the minority caucus of the
senators necessary. For this the names
OF Culberson, Martin and Bacon have
been mentioned. All three are men of
experience in the party and also In
senate work. While a shifting Of the
balance of party prestige seems now
to be far away, yet the unexpected
may happen before the session closes.

Why Not Cambridge?

Messrs. Leavett and Ringdal OF the
state board of control, accompanied
by Hon. Chas. j. Swanson, visited
Cambridge recently, with the view of
ascertaining what advantages the
place possessed as a location for the
sproposed. state training school for
girls. There are several TRACTS Of
land in the vicinity of Cambridge
between the railroad and Rum river
admirably adapted for a site for the
school from sanitary standpoint;
the surroundings are picturesque and
the soil is fertile and productive.
Geographically Cambridge is just the
place. All things considered, espe-
cially it's proximity and accessibility
to Duluth and the twin cities, Cam
bridge would be an ideal location for
the school.

AS the institution was established
for the treatment of those cases that
are showing the first symptoms of pull
monary tuberculosis, it will be the
endeavor, in accordance with the law,
to admit only those patients who have
slight disease, and who offer a hope
OF cure, or of such amelioration of
symptoms that they may become wage
earners again. 1t is, furthermore,
intended as an educational institution
where patients will be taught the
simple but important laws of hygienic
living. The sanatorium should in no
sense be considered a home for the
hopelessly sick. Patients must have
resided in the state for one year. -----
Application for admission should
be made to the superintendent, DR..

SECOND-CLASS RURAL SCHOO
Lost In the jungle.

Commissioner Potts on Monday
performed a stunt, which he says
makes him the champion pedestrian
of the county board. His reason for
performing the feat is as follows: he
had made arrangements to meet Com
missioner Uglem and others at Mud
gett's camp at 2 O'Clock on Monday
afternoon for the purpose of consider
ing bids for road building. So at the
designated time Mr.. Potts was, at the
camp, where he waited until O'Clock,
but the party failed to put in an
appearance. He had expected to ride
to Milaca with Mr.. Uglem and party
and their nonarrival placed him in,
as he says, "a hellofadilemma. !"
After carefully considering the situa-
ton, however, he decided to hike to
his destination and started out at a
good clip. Mr.. Potts arrived at
Milaca at o'clock the same evening,
tired and as hungry as a wolf. He
ate supper, went to bed, and when he
arose in the morning was told that
MIR. Uglem and party came in at 2
a. m. They had lost their way in the
jungle and couldn't determine their
whereabouts. Finally Mr.. Uglem dis
covered that his fur coat had dropped
from the rig and the party-consisting
of four buggy loads of men-retraced
their course, found the overcoat and
continued on the back trail, eventually
locating Mudgett's camp. From
thence speedy run to Milaca was
made. The next time he travels
through that country Mr.. Uglem says
he will take a COMPASS with him.
