kAhAMA MINISTRIES MAKE
GOOD.

For lovers of real old-time negro
Ministries the tent show known as the
Alabama Ministries, under the manage
tnent of c. L. Erickson, who conducted
the first performance at Eight South
and Main streets last night, is really
an innovation.
The play is clean, and the forty odd
performers, as we'll as the musicians,
are all of the old southern darby type.
They all sing and dance as none but
darkies can, and their comedy is such
that any one attending the perform
ances cannot resist sidesplitting laugh
ter. The second and last performance
will be given tonight commencing at 8
o'clock, and although the attendance
was most gratifying last night, there
is little doubt but that the large tent
will be filled to the capacity for the
last show.
The first part was on the style of the
old-time negro Ministries, the end men,
who were really artists in their lines
being Ernest Watts, Joe Clark, Archie
Grant, Billy Edwards, Jimmie Garrett
and H. Wallburg, with A. J. McFar-
land as interlocutor. The opening
chorus by the entire company was
followed by such popular vocal solos
as "Nobody's Fool" Silver Threads
Among the Gold" and the "Washing-
ton Waddle."
During the intermission daring slack
wire feats were performed by Billy
Edwards, and any one thinking that
the said Billy canot do stunts that
border on the miraculous, will change
his mind after seeing the exhibition.
The Alabama comedy four sung sew
eral beautiful selections, after which
Hi Henry Hunt, for years associated
with eastern vaudeville artists, pro-
ceeded to give an exhibition of fire
eating, the audience showing its ap-
probation by repeated applause.
Jimmie CARROTS exhibition of fancy
and comedy jig dancing met with
hearty approval, while Watts and Ed
wards, the "Kolored Kings of Kom-
edy," kept the house in a continuous
uproar. Arthur Prince, the last sin
gle performer on the bill, gave an ex-
hibition of juggling and hoop rolling
that cannot be excelled, the entire
company taking part in a come y-
drama skit entitled "The Duel" dur
ing the rendition of which pastimes Of
the south, picturing many of the sor-
rows and pleasures of the good old
slavery days were introduced.
After tonight's performance the
company will proceed to Park City
expecting to visit every principal city
in the state before making tour OF
the western states.-Salt Lake Trib>

CHICAGO DOCTOR LIKES IL.
THE LOOKS OF VIRGINIA.

DR.. David O'Shea, Of Chicago, was
in Virginia Monday for a short visit
with Luke Burns, an old friend and
schoolmate from Wisconsin. DR..
O'Shea IS one Of the; best known
specialists in Chicago. He was on his
way way to the Lake Of the Woods
country to enjoy his annual vacation
in an outing there which he was an
ticipating with a good deal of pleas
ure. DR.. O'Shea was much impress
ed with Virginia and the Mesaba
range and was surprised to find a
city like Virginia in a section of the
country that he said he had rather
fancied was 'away out in the woods"
He will probably spend few days in
Virginia on his return from the Lake
of the Woods.

IRON ORE UNDER LAKES.

Now that the courts have held that
the state of Minnesota has no real
ownership over the bottoms of mean
dered lakes, except as sovereign to
protect for the common good, it will
be interesting how much ore will be
found under such waters. The state
of Minnesota evidently thought the
item a big one for it made a strong
fight to establish it's ownership of
such ores. But the courts held that
the riparian owners control any such
ore.-Skilling's Market Letter.

KNAPPTALKss ABOUT MEXICO.


Mining in Mexico is q different
proposition than mining on the Min
nesota range" said Cleon T. Knapp,
Of Chisholm, in an interview with q
ws-Tribune reporter at the Spald-
ing hotel. He is settling up his a.
fairs preparatory to taking the posi-
ton of counsel for the Calumet & Ar
iona Mining Company at Bisbee, Ar:
iona. Knapp, as q member Of the
legislature, achieved his greatest leg
islative triumph February 10, this
year, when after a gruelling struggle
he led the opponents of the Bjorge-
Frankson tonnage tax bill to one of
the most sensational victories in the
history of the Minnesota house.
"Bisbee, my new location, is only
five miles from the Mexican line, -
said the representative, "and there
are many valuable mining properties
just over the line, more or less unde-
veloped, and owned mostly by Amer
leans.
"Owners do not know what to do
with their property, and very seldom
know to whom to pay taxes. They
are afraid of losing everything be-
cause of their taxes. AS soon as a
mine owner settles with one official
a revolution is liable to come along,
leaving him with no tax receipts that
will satisfy the new regime. Under
these conditions development is i'm
possible, and most of the border resi-
dents are strong advocates Of inter-
vention. That is the only thing that
will give them any assurance Of be-
ing able to go ahead with their I'M
provements.

Minnesota's permanent school fund
her public lands and her business like
way Of handling them, is getting
vast amount Of publicity in the wide.
ly circulated magazines Of the east
IT regard this kind Of publicity the
most valuable advertising our state
can get" says Fred D. Sherman
commissioner Of immigration. "When
a state can attract the attention Of
great eastern publications in such
manner as to receive favorable com
ment upon the business methods OF
conducting her affairs, much benefit
is derived"
A recent issue Of the Youths Com
panion says, editorially:
"Most of the states to which the
national government has made large
grants of land find little satisfaction
in telling how they have disposed OF
it.. To this rule Minnesota is a nota-
BILE exception, and the story of its
public lands is both rebuke to other
states that have squandered their
valuable grants and lesson to the
states that still have natural resources
worth preserving.
While other states were selling their
public lands for dollar or so an acre
and using the money for current ex-
penses, Minnesota was selling timber
off it's lands at good figure, and then
selling the land itself for agricultural
purposes for $500 an acre; it put the
total proceeds into a permanent fund
for the benefit Of it's schols and penal
and charitable institutions. The fund
now amounts to almost $4,000, 900,
and gives Minnesota larger school
fund than that of any other state in
the union. Four neighboring states,
to which the national government was
not less generous in allotting public
lands, have all together funds of only
SIG, 100000.

EARL s SON BARES
FAMILY SKELETON
viscount lngestre Is Declared
Eldest Child of Earl of
Shrewsbury

LONDON, Oct. IA curious petit
ton was brought in the divorce courts
when Viscount Ingestre, the son and
heir of the earl of Shrewsbury. sought
TO obtain from the court declaration
that he is the legitimate son of the
earl and countess
The case turned largely on a matter
of dates. Counsel for Ingestre told
how the earl had married the divorced
wife of Alfred Miller Mundy, June 21,
1882. The son was born on the fol-
lowing September s. 1t was brought
out that Mundy couldn't be the father
of the boy because the earl and Mrs.
Mundy had lived together continuous
ly for year previous to the marriage.
There has never been a question of
the Viscounts position until the pres
erst time. Some one. in a business
transaction, raised the question of the
mothers former marriage and that
precipitated the action of today.
The judgment rendered by the pres
ident of the court was that Ingestre
was the eldest son of the earl and
countess.

What is to become of the children

The question raised in The Call by
Dorothy Dix finds an echo in the
heart of every Judge who is COM
PEELED to hear the sordid stories of
unhappy homes, of family quarrels in
which the father and mother of the
family hold each other up to the rid

The welfare of the children-the

too fully discussed, a problem that
can not be too fully solved. The Call
presents the opinion of one jurist
who probably has granted more di-
vorces than any other judge in San

who thought divorce the only solution
of their perplexities and have kept
from the divorce courts scores of
unhappy men and women for their

ERROR MADE

FOES
Trial Halted and Legislature
May Be Called to Mend
Blunder in Indictment

ALBANY, Oct 1.-THE impeach-
ment trial of Governor Sulzer was
brought to halt today over the fine
question of law involved in the scope
OF the articles of impeachment drawn
up against SuIzer by the assembly.
The program today consisted of argu-
ments upon admissibility of evidence.
A possibility exists that the legisla-
ture viii have to be convened SO that
the impeachment articles may be re-
constructed.
Judge Miller of the court of ap-
peals sitting with the senators point
ed out that there was a question in

A4llan A. Ryan and Duncan w. Peck,
whose combined testimony charged
Sulzer with attempted suppression of
testimony and attempted efforts to
tamper with the members of the
court
On account of the fine points in
volved it is expected that beginning
with todays session the judges would
take direction of affairs into their
own hands. They were undecided
whether the testimony of the three
witnesses mentioned could be included

LONG PRISON TERMS
FOR GERMAN TOPERS

The severity Of German military
law was illustrated afresh by the re-
hearing of case in which. at Erfurt
last June. seven reservists, of whom
six were fathers OF families, were
sentenced to long periods OF penal
seryitude and simple Imprisonment
for acts OF drunken indiscipline, COM
mitted during the annual two days
they are under military law
After reporting themselves on one
of the days referred to, the accused
got drunk and abused and resisted q
couple of gendarmes who sought to-
arrest them for military uproar, an
offense for which the minimum PEN
atty under German military law IL
five years penal servitude. The ac-
cused pleaded drunkenness. but the
court martial held the plea to be no
ground for extenuating circumstances
On judgment being pronounced the
accused were SO stunned by conster
nation that the sentences had to be
repeated to them before they could
grasp their meaning and magnitude.
