Athens to make a speech, my letters accumu-

gan reading and answering them. About
midday the Bostwick letter was reached. In
brief, the writer stated that he had spent
several days in Jacksonville MAY 9th to
31st), and had roomed with the three men
whom we hunted with shotguns on my place
in the middle of February The writer who
signed himself J. II. Hutchins, stated that
he could save my life and would do it, if /

much desired it, and so [ telegraphed Hutch

as he approached us. If he had started to
put his hand behind him, or into his sack

a moments hesitation, because of those eyes,.
It was Hutchins, and when he introduced
himself and began to talk, my suspicious
were gradually removed.
This was his story:
He was working, near Bostwicl, for the
Coleman brothers, as sawyer, and had been
sent by them to Jacksonville to remeasure
shipment of lumber to the Gress Manufac-
tory Company, a shortage of some 900 feet
having been claimed. While rooming at a
boarding house (which he located) he saw
three strange men get off the Southern train
from Savannah. They asked him if he
knew of boarding house. He recommended
the place at which he was stopping, and of
fered TO take them there. On the way, one
of the men asked. "IVW ne hare to reg5ster?"
He replied In the negative. The landlady
Whose name he gave) assigned the stran-
gers to a room which had two beds in it.
Hutchins occupied a room just opposite,
across a narrow hallway. That night he
overheard the men talking. He caught the
remark:
"Things look suspicious around Thomson,
boys" This interested Hutchins and he
raised himself up in bed, and rested on his
elbow, trying to distinguish something
further. The talk, however, sunk into low
tones, and he overheard no more.
The men had no business to attend to, and
did not seek to make acquaintances They
were we'll dressed, in summer suits; had soft
hands, and big rolls Of money strapped with
"slung shot" rubber bands. This money was
carried in the back pockets.
Hutchins' room was claimed, the next day
after the three strangers arrived, by mar
ried couple who had been occupying it previ-
ously. The landlady asked Hutchins to room

But" said Underwood. 1--WE voted
to overrule the speaker because We
thought the time had come for the
majority Of the house to express its
will. At that time there was rea-
son to believe the rules committee
was attempting to obstruct the leg
islation. No such condition exists
today and consequently there will be
no revision"

The "insurgents" refused to be
downcast by their defeat. Twenty
six democrats voted J. with them
against the speaker.
They claim that these "insurgent"
democrats will be their allies in all

"Poppycock," said Clark, when
told Of this. Every man voted as
he pleased. That was my advice to
them. The vote has no significance
whatever as party proposition"

The number Of shares required to

taken shares in the enterprise have

Minnesota needs the greatest pol
itical shaking up in it's history, and
that can come only from the people ;
from an awakened, enlightened, de-
termined and aggressive people. Its
state government needs to be shak-
en- from cellar to dome, and it's pub
lie affairs to be divorced from Big
Business and pledged anew to the
common good. Only the people can
accomplish it.-Duluth Herald.
Then do not let the people wait
until the politicians have fixed their
thimble-rig game Of tweedle-de-dee
and tweedle de- dunn, but let us have
an independent meeting Of insurg-
ents from all parties and put man
like Hon. E. E. Lobeck in command
There is no question about his rug
ged honesty, his ability as a states
man or his backbone. Those are the
qualities needed for the man to lead
a real shaking-up,and we can af-
ford to waive our little petty polit-
ical notions and preferences for the
common good.
