The proceedings Of the internal I'm
prOvement Board in Tallahassee last
Saturday seem to make it plain enough
that the work Of draining the Ever
glades IS to 70 right along under the
Gilchrist administration just as though
BrOWard were at the helm. The mass
es of the people Of Florida don't know
anything about the merits Of the ques-
ton yet, despite the enormous foods
of light poured upon it by the dispu-
tsnts FOR several years past, and prob
ably never viii; but there is no legal
eomplexity or verbose muddle about
the plain, simple, objective fact Of the
dredges cutting the canals right along
every day, as they are now doing, and
actually draining and retaining the
land, and that part of the program they
understand clearly. That's all they
need to understand. The rest is neg
igible and may be left for the learned
lawyers to wrangle over and the cru
dite editors to write about.

LET DRAINAGE PROBLEM REST.

Why not let Us have a little peace
and quiet on the drainage matter?
BrOward is out, new man is IN the
executive chair, a man known to be
impartiaIy devoted to the interests of
the state and in no matter committed
to the policies of his predecessor, ex-
cept insofar as they promote the public
welfare. 1t is within the power of the
land board, of which he is a member,
to suspend or arrest further progress
of the work, or they may determine to

that they may do so, the means are
apparently at hand. And it might be

TWO UNSAVORY ESCAPADES
Paul Kann Gets Into Hot Water
Through Cashing Forged
Checks.
Chas. Rusch, Butcher, Steals Out
of Town, Much to the Cha.
grin of His Creditors.

Paul Kann, a travelling solicitor
and collector for the International
correspondence school with headquar-
tiers in this city, found himself in a
peck of trouble last week, and all be-
cause he thought he could cash forged
checks with impunity.
Kann's troubles started at Sleepy
Eye. While there several weeks ago
his boss dropped in on him and repri-
manded him for not attending more
strictly to business. To make show
ing Kann entered into a scheme with a
young New Ulmite, who is working in
a Sleepy Eye drug store. They were
to play a ''huge joke'' on the boss.
Kann drew up contr act for ascholar-
ship and the young clerk signed fake
check in payment. When the boss
turned up again these were flashed in
his face as an evidence of Kann' dill
gence. It was only a joke, of course,
at least so the drug clerk supposed;
but it turned out to be very serious
matter. The drug clerk tore up his
bogus contract, but Kann did not de-
stroy the bogus check. On the con-
trary he took it to Luverne and cashed
it at a bank.
AS soon as the bank discovered that
the check was worthless one they
naturally went after the endorser.
Kann then put up the plea that he had
accepted it in good faith and had sent
the money he had realized on it to his
employers in Scranton. The bank
would have to wait until he could have
the contract cancelled and the money
returned. The bank waited for time,
believing that the young man was tell
ing the truth, but finally became i'm
patient
Then Kann set to work getting his
foot out of the hole in which he had
placed it, by putting it into another.
The check cashed at Luverne was for
$62.42. In order to make it good he
forged the name of Geo. Stay of Adri-
an to a check for $500 and cashed ii
at the First National bank in Window.
The Window bank on learning that
it had been deceived promptly caused
young Kann's arrest. He was given
a certain number of days in which to
"square up and, although he had to
squirm some to do so, he finally sue
ceeded. Money from brother in New
York turned the trick that saved him

DAVIS DENOUNCEs ALDRlCn BILL
St. Peter Congressman says It Is
lndefensibIe:and a Violation
Of Party Promises.

Representative Charles Russell Da-
Wis of St. Peter will not vote for the
passage of the Aldrich tariff bill
should it come before the republicans
of the house for approval, as now
seems probable. Davis says:
II want tariff bill that [ can de-
fend. In fact we should have tariff
bill that needs no defense, but that
seems impossible. I cannot defend
the Aldrich bill-not single schedule
of it, We came here to revise the tariff
schedules downward. There is noevad-
ing this fact. We are not here to enact
a tariff law with higher average and
valorem duties than, the Dingley law,
such as the Aldrich bill, or even to re-
enact the Dingley law. There is no
sophistry that can convince me that
the republican party did not promise
a revision of the tariff downward. My
people are not satisfied with the threat
ened tariff legislation.
4 am not going to support it and
then 60 back home with an attempt at
justification. I don't think there
would be any justification for me. The
people of my district know as much
about the tariff as I do. Some OF
them probably know more about it,

Charles Busch, who has been run
ming small meat market on North
Minnesota street for number of
years, quietly slipped out of town the
forepart of the week, and if appear
ances are to be believed he has no in
tention of returning. Just where he
went is not certain, as he left the city
with a team, but it is supposed that he
headed for st. Paul from whence he
came aud where he has rel atives. Be-
fore leaving he sold a portion of his
stock to a competing dealer, and a
day or two after his departure a ne
phew appeared on the scene and
shipped the balance of his beholdings,
including the equipment of his shop,
to st. Paul.
When it was too late, it dawned on
some of his creditors that he had
taken what is known in common par
lance as ''French leave.'' Among
these creditors is John Gerber, who
was partner in his BUSINESS and to
whom he is indebted in the sum of
81, 900. Another creditor is Henry
Unverworn who has claim of S17O.
