Opposed to Hanging.

Gov. Eberhart opposes hanging.
So do we.
So does every human being.
They beheaded people in olden
times. Stuck them through with a
sword. Cleaved their skulls open
with battle ak.
No sensible, God fearing nation
will do these things now.
It is more punishment to keep the
human being slayer in prison as long
as he or she lives, than it is to exc
cute them.-Lake Crystal Union.

PERISH THE THOUGHT.

Some person with an imagination
much greater than his interest for
the state of Minnesota has con-
ceived the idea that it would be all
right to have Governor Eberhart
appoint G.. T. Simpson, the attorney
general, to succeed the late lamented
and talented Justice Jaggard. OF
course there is little cause for alarm
as the governor is friend of the
North.

HELD TO BE FRAUDULENT
Land Office Cancels Entries to VaIu-
able Coal Lands.

Iano OHlce Canceis Entries to VaIu-
able Coal Lands.
Washington, Feb. 16. Decisions
handed down by the commissioner of
the general land Office hold for can
collation. thirty-two coal cash entries
embracing valuable coal lands in the
Lander (Wyo.) land district, upon the
ground that those entries were made
fraudulently in pursuance of a con-
spiracy and by means of dummy"
entrymen. The lands were transferred
to the Northwestern Coal company
and the Owl Creek Coal company, al
legged to have been organized for the
purpose of taking them over.
If the decisions of the land office
are sustained by the department of
the interior, to which an appeal can
be made, about $500 acres of coal
land, valued at about $1,000,00O, will
be restored to the public domain. ~.

With the recent departure from New York of a certain aged man and his wife on a ship bound for Germany the curtain falls on a little tragedy about as pathetic as any to be found in fiction. The story can be told with out naming persons or places. The man possesses a large fortune, and until a few months ago he was prominent banker, honored and trust ed by everybody, in a leading city of the United States.
 When official investigation disclos- ed wholesale bribery and other forms of corruption in the city government this old man, overwhelmed either with remorse or with fear of a prison sentence, appeared in court, confessed himself guilty of eomplicity in sordid crimes of bribe giving and was fined $500. But that was the smallest of the penalties that fell upon him.
 He realized that his reputation was gone, that the community no longer respected him and that mere wealth was not recognized as an atonement for crimes committed by it's possessor. And so, with the winter of age upon him, this forlorn man has gone back with his faithful wife and his money to spend his last days in seclusion in the fatherland whence he came. poor boy, nearly half a century ago New York Mail
