A man’s life never rises above its source, hence the need of being born above, The French nation is about to erect 2 monument to its fallen soldiers on the field of Waterloo. What a noiseless world this would be if women were as quiet all thetime as they are when it comes to telling their age. Ideas make their way in silence, like the waters that, filtering behind the rocks of the Alps, loosen them from the mountains on which they rest. The advance report of the Presby- terian church shows an increase of 2,300 communicants over last year, and total contributions averaging $15 per member. i No man undertakes a trade he has mot learned, even the meanest, yet every one thinks himself sufficiently qualified for the hardest of all trades —that of government. The witty cynicism of the modern Frenchman is displayed in the follow- ing unique advertisement in a Parisian paper: “A young man of agreeable presence, and desirous of getting married, would like to make the ac- quaintance of an aged and experienced gentleman who could dissaude him from taking the fatal step.” At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the National Association of eet Railway Employes, held at De- roit, Mich., the president was in- structed to draw up a plan by which local unions are to be assessed in or- der to raise a fund with which to pur- ck automobiles for use by the street railway men in the cities where kes are in progress. The Lake Shore Railroad company is devising a pension scheme for the benefit of employes of long standing, who have reached an age of retire- mer It will be similar to that now in force on the Pennsylvania railroad, the company giving a lump sum as the nucleus of a pension fund to be enlarged and maintained by a one per cent assessment on the monthly wages of employes. The movement which has brought the non-conformist churches of Great Britain into a federation continues to extend, and is one of the promising features of church life on the thres- hold of the twentiet{: century. The th annual council {1as been held in Sheffield, and was attended by nearly 1,000 delegates. They represented more than 600 councils, 44 of which had been organized in the past year. st e: According to a report published by the Home Office in London, showing the mineral productions of the world for the last year, the United States easily leads all its rivals in this form of wealth. Great Britain ranks sec- ond, but far behind the leader, to to- tal product of the United States having been about $720,000,000, while that of Great Britain was $400,000,000. Ger- many stands third, with nearly $250,- 000,000. The youth of Brussels, it appears, were not slow to exploit the Shah’s weakness for children, which was in- cautiously referred to in the press, An enterprising lad. wrote to his majesty that a bicycle would make him com- pletely happy, but the fact must not be divulged to his parents; while an- other child asked for a doll in similar terms. In both instances the gifts were forthcoming, with the result that on the last day of his majesty’s visit the Persian legation was besieged by youthful applicants, many of whom were made happy by practical proofs of the shah’s generosity. Moved by the descriptions of the last resting place of his friend and ally, King Victor Emmanuel in the Pantheon at Rome and with memories of the stately and solemn grandeur of Great Britain’s Walhalla—namely, Westminster Abbey, present in his mind, Emperor William has resolved to create at Berlin, in the immediate neighborhood of the Imperial resi- dence, a species of Teutonic Pantheon, to serve as a last resting place for the illustrious dead of Germany, and in- asmuch as he is aware that neither the Prussian legislature, nor the par- liament of the empire will vote the funds for the purpose, he has announc- ed his intention of raising the $6,000,- 000 necessary for the execution of his design by means of a huge lottery. A remarkable engineering feat is soon to be attempted in Boston—the moving of a six-story brick and stone hotel building from one site to an- other without taking it apart.

REFORM PREss BUREAU. Sr. PavL, Oct. 29, 1900. The Reform forces are making a very satisfactory and encouraging campaign throughout the state. . The redoubta- ble General Apathy, of whom we hear so much, has failed to get even within gunshot of our meetings. The greatest possible earnestness and enthusiasm has prevailed everywhere and gives us the best possible assurance for the out- come at the polls on Nov. 6. Governor Lind has been speaking in a great many counties and he has al- ways drawn large audiences. His clear, earnest, concise exposition of na- tional and state issues, has made him hosts of new friends wherever he has spoken and has strengthened the old ones. The people see in him more than ever the champion of their inter- ests and of their rights, the opponent of dishonest corporations and grasping syndicates. Thomas J. Meighen, Democratic- Peoples candidate for lieutenant gov- ernor, has also been making hosts of friends. His active and efficient work as a member of the state board of equalization in forcing certain corpora- tions and syndicates to bear their hon- est share of the burden of taxation, is becoming better known. and making friends for him every day. The confidence which the laboring men havein M. E. Neary, Democratic- Peoples candidate for secretary of state, and which they have in former times expressed by electing him to po- sitions of trust and honor in their or- ganizations, has been growing con- stantly and will make him a strong candidate with the people throughout the state. ~ The large circle of friends which Henry ©. Koerner, Democratic-Peoples candidate for state treasurer, has in every county of Minnesota, gives him an advantage such as few men possess. In every county of the state Mr. Koer- ner has personal friends, irrespective of party, that will stand by him and work for his eleetion and the election of those on the state ticket with him. The reputation which Robert C. Saunders, Democratic-Peoples candi- date for attorney general, has won asan attorney in advancing the rights of the people and enforcing the laws of the state, especially in the enforcement of taxes against standing pine on exempt land grants, is appreciated by voters, irrespective of party, and makes hima tower of strength for the entire state ticket. Among the things to which the pres- ent administration points with special pride, and which more than anything else have proven it to be the friend of the people of the state, the champion of their interests and welfare, there is none which deserves greater praise than the work of the present railroad and warehouse commission. P. M. Ringdal and T. J. Knox are members of this commission. They have re- duced the freight on grain from a large section of the state to the markets. This reduction will save the farmers of Minnesota about $400,000 per year. During six years previous to their ad- ministration, Duluth weights on grain fell short at Buffalo an average of 25 pounds per 1,000 bushels. Since they took charge, this shortage has only averaged 8 pounds per 1,000 bushels. If you want this kind of service to go on, vote forthem. They are candidates for re-election, and vote also for S. M. Owen tokeep them company. He is editor of The Farm, Stock and Home, and so well and so favorably known, that anything we could say would be superfiuous. State Weighmaster’s Report. In the speeches supplied to him by the Republican state committee, Cap- tain Van Sant has been making vigor- ous attacks on the work of the state weighmaster, Mr. Edward O'Brien. Charges of gross mismanagement, heavy deficiencies, ‘‘less work and more expenses,’ he poured forth in mighty torrents, and all this long before any report had been made, and long before he or the committee that supplied him with speeches could know whether such charges were founded on fact or not. The Captain certainly must feel as cheap as a 10 cent bargain counter now that the official report comes out and shows more work and less expense, a surplus instead of the deficiency of the preceding administration. It is a rec- ord of honesty and efficiency such as every supporter of the present adminis- tration will point to with pride. We publish from the report the follow- ing extract: “The totalnumber of cars weighed during the year was 214,490 and the revenues accruing from all sources was $53,993.50. Covering the same period the expemse account was $53,069.23, showing a surplus of $929.27. Thetotal number of bushels of grain weighed during the same period was 173,311,380. **A comparison of last year’s figures with the above will not be out of place here. Shortly after I came into this office in 1899 the duty devolved upon me of furnishing you with the id4th an- nual report. In that statement it was shown that 202,293 cars had been weighed and that the revenues from all sources was $34,485.41. The expense account for that year was $57,448.68, indicating a deficiency of 958.27. Total number of bushels of grain weighed, 160,940,006. In some respects she showing thus made was an excel- lent one, but the large deficiency was an unpleasant feature to record. “Shortly after the beginning of the present grain year, in October, 1899, your honorable board raised the price for weighing cars from 15 cents to 25 cents, thus adding largely to the re- ceipts of the department. It was one of the necessities and though some fault was found with this, the justice of it soon became apparent to all. The Board of Appeals, created by act of the last legislature, added from $18,000 to $20,000 to the expense of the grain department and this, if no other reason existed, would have justified the ad- vance. Then, too, there is a vast dif- ference between the car of ten years ago, or even five yearsand that of today. The capacity of the former would not average but little over 600 bushels, while the latter, built in these times, will average from 200 to 300 bushels more. The thousand bushel car of the present time is becoming quite common. With these changed conditions the weighing of a car of wheat now, in reality, is almost as rea- sonable as it ever has been. “The year just closed, it is gratifying to state, sees the department self-sus- taining. The deficiency of almost $23,000 in 1899 has been turned toa surplus, small though it be, of $929.27 in 1900. “Going back to the birth of the de- partment in 1885, but one year has ex- celled this in the number of cars weighed. That was the big crop year of 1897. I desire to say, too, that while the number of cars weighed during the past year was 12,197 more than during the previous year, still the expense account of the department was less by $4,269.45. To be more explicit, the year ending Aug. 41, 1899, showed an expense to the department of $57,388.68, while the year which closed Aug. 31, 1900, showed an expense of $53,069. 23.”’ Deliberate falsehood and misrepre- sentation is very treacherous ground for making a great political campaign on. Every voter instinctively feels that no party would choose such ground if it had any other. A cam- paign of falsehood is an admission of incompetence. A party -won’t depend upon falsehood if it has anything else to depend on. It is almost saddening to what ex- treme the Republican campaign man- agers are forced, in order to manufac- ture campaign thunder out cf whole cloth, and then submit to the mortifi- cation of seeing their flimsy frabric ripped, raveled, and torn into shreds before it even comes to the notice of the public. Among their latest fabrications isa story how a certain grocer, P, O’Grady, was unjustly arrested at the instance of Major Bowler, head of the dairy and food department, and had to be re- ieaseg because the injustice of the ar- rest was glaringly shown up, etc., etc., etc. In answer to this came the testimony from Assistant County Attorney Zoll- man, declaring that the case against P. O’Grady was brought by one ©. J. Lyon, not in any manner connected with the state dairy and food depart- ment, and who did not have any in- structions from that department, and that the state dairy and food depart- ment had nothing whatever to do with it, except so far as the prosecuting at- torney called in the services of the state chemist as a witness. If Tams Bixby wants the voters to make a comparison between. the work of the present and past administration of the dairy and food department let him submit to them the following of- ficial figures: Report of Convictions, Dairy and Food, in 20 Months of 1899 and 1909.

Which shows the most vigorous work? Which will the people endorse? * It is timely to warn the people | against the roorbacks and campaign lies that are likely to be sprung by the Republican managers just before elec- tion day. Two years ago Mr. Vandiver, the present head of the Republican Press Bureau, published in the St. Paul Dis- patch a bogus speech of Governor Lind, for which The Dispatch was afterwards fined and obliged to pay to Governor Lind $600 indemnity. : For this feat Tams Bixby appointed Vandiver head of the Republican Press Bureau and there is nothing so low and contemptible in the way of campaign lies and roorbacks but what the people may safely expect it from that source, RIG inate NEEECTIVE PACE CONFESSES PERJURY De WITNESS IN GOEBEL TRIAL SAYS HE SWORE FALSELY. Helped to Convict Powers by Put- ting Words in Latter’s Mouth Which He Never Uttere@d — Was Bribed by Arthur Goebel to Tes- tify Falsely — Finley Anderson Tells How Persuasive Measures Were Used to Influence Him—Has Received Three Hundred Dollars. | Louisville, Ky., Oct. 31—The Louis- ville Evening Post prints an affidavit of Finley Anderson, a telegraph ope- rator, upon whose testimony Caleb Powers was convicted of complicity in the murder of Gov. Goebel, in which Anderson swears his story told on the stand at Georgetown was perjured. After telling of a conversation with Attorney Campbell at Cincinnati in connection with the Goebel case, he says: “I remained in the city after this conversation with Mr. Campbell, and some time after that Mr. Arthur Goe- bel, in his store up stairs, on the fourth floor, where I had gone at his request, asked me if Powers had not in my presence at Barbourville in Jan- uary, said to me in substance these words, referring to William Goebel: ‘They say he wears a coat of mail, but it won’t do him any good,’ or something similar to that. I told Ar- thur Goebel that Powers had never said anything of the sort in my pres- ence to the best of my knowledge. He told me to think and see if I could not remember it. I could not remember such a remark, and I know that Pow- ers did not make such a remark, or anything resembling it, in my pres- ence; but, being urged by Arthur Goebel, I finally concluded to state that he did make such a statement, and so swore at the trial, which testi- mony was false. “Before making my statement to Campbell, Wharton Golden told me to make it as stcong as possible, as they (referring to Campbell and Goebel) would take care of me and protect me. “I desire now to say that I never had but one conversation with Caleb Powers, and that was in relation to my going to Frankfort with the men on the 25th of January, and in no part of it was the name of William Goebel mentioned or referred to in any way or in any connection by Caleb Pow- ers. “I have since held conversations with Campbell and Arthur Goebel; re- ceived from Arthur Goebel various sums, aggregating about $300, and upon one occasion $10 from. Justice Goebel. The last sum I received was on Tuescay, Oct. 23, 1900, which was $5, given to me by Col. Campbell at his office in Cincinnati.” LONDON ASHAMED. Night’s Orgies Break All Records of Disgrace. London, Oct. 31.—London awoke yester- day morning, or as much of it as slept at all.,during the night, sick, tired and ashamed of itself. For hours last night the city passed through a scene that has never been eqaled for meanness, drunk- enness and wild disorder. The home-com- ing of the city imperial volunteers was scized upon by the lawless element of the city as an opportunity to give full vent to their contempt for all law, order and decency. All of the afternoon. and until midnight this metropolis was at the mer- cy of howling, drunken mobs, who, under the guise of patriotism, ran the gamut of depravity. The casualty list exceeds the record of the junteers whose return from South African dangers was so nois- ly celebrated. These soldiers fought twen- ty-six engagements, but they were never called upon to face such danger as beset Monday the people who were caught in the crowds yesterday. The police courts were ful! of those who had celebrated indiscreetly yester- day. in one of the ccurts 162 cases of disorder and drunks were tried this morn- ing. In most cases the prisoners were dealt with lightly. The chief feature of the crowds was the fact that the sexes were almost equally divided and both men and women were drunk equally and impartially. VENEZUELA SHAKEN. . President’s Les Broken and Some Persons Killed by Earthquake. ‘Washington, Oct. 31.—The state de- partment has received the following cablegram from Mr. Russell, secretary of legation at Caracas, concerning the recent earthquake in Venezuela, in which Ciprianio Gastro, the president of the republic, was injured: “Severe earthquake this morning (29th); great damage to property; sev- eral killed; president jumping second floor government house, leg broken; details from interior later.” RAID A TOWN. Pitched Battle With Robbers at Roundhead, Ohio. Bellefontaine, Ohio, Oct. 31. — Rob- bers raided the town of Roundhead, fourteen miles northwest of here. They dynamited several safes, secur- ing small sums. Citizens aroused by the explosions were shot at by the robbers, who rode away toward Lima. Negro Lynched,. Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 31—A negro named Abernathy, attempted a crim- inal assault on’ the fourteen-year-old adopted daughter of W. N. Thomp- son, a railroad section foreman living at Duke, sixteen miles north of An- niston. The negro was captured three hours later and lynched. Will Visit the Czar. Moscow, Oct. 31.— A report from Lourenzo Marques says that after visiting Berlin, ex-President Kruger will go to St. Petersburg to see the ezar. Tire Dutch colony will give him a hearty reception. Queen Victoria Not Il. Bondon, Oct. 31—There is no truth in the report that Queen Victoria is ill, though really she is affected by the death in South Africa of her grand- sor, Prince Christian Victor of Schles- wij-Holstein. 1 i HE WAS A BOTHER FAMILY CHARGED WITH MURDER OF A BOY. Story of Almost Unheard of Cruelty on the Part of the Boy’s Parents and Brothers—Boy W: a Pitiable Cripple and'the Mother Often Said He Was a Bother and Wished Him Dead—He Disappeared Last May and the Body Was Only Recently Found—Feeling Against the Fam- ily Very Strong. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 31.—As a result of the coroner's inquest over the body of Peter Sacmary at Caledonia, the whole Sacmary family, consisting of the father, mother and three children, are under arrest charged with murder. The body of the murdered boy was found by John Schriver and Joe Sac- mary, who were out hunting in the woods near the Sacmary,farm. The body was covered by twigs and branches. A story of almost unheard of cruelty on the part of the boy’s par- ents and brothers is involved. Peter Sacmary disappeared early in May, and the neighbors of the family at once were suspicious of foul play. Lib- eral rewards were offered and every effort was made to unravel the mystery but without results. The boy’s feet were frozen completely off several years ago, and after that he Was a Pitiable Crip>le, unable to walk the length of a block in an hour. For this reason the neigh- bors and authorities insisted that young Sacmary had been murdered. He had always been shamefully abused by the entire family, and the mother often said that the boy was a bother and that she wished that he were dead. There seems to be not the slightest doubt in the community that the crip- ple was killed by members of his fam- ily, and the feeling against them is very strong at Caledonia, where the Sacmarys are now in jail. The father and mother are about sixty years of age. The whole family will be prose- cuted on a charge of murder. The murdered boy was never allowed to eat with the rest of the family, and the food and clothing given him were al- ways insufficient. STORM DAMAGE. Deluge of Rain Washes Out Dams and Bridges. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 31.—Reports re- ceived here show that the damage done by the storm is greater than first re- ported, and the damage continues to grow every hour. The weather bureau reports that the greatest volume of water fell during twenty-four hours than since the office started, twenty- seven years ago. Since Saturday noon 7.28 inches of water fell, while the greatest’ amount previous to this was 5.58 inches on Sept. 6 and 7, 1884.. The storm did much damage at Sparta, Wis., all the bridges in the city save one, being washed out. The Newton mill dam was washed out and the water made it necessary to close down the lighting plant, leaving the city in dark- ness. The damage will reach $3,000. The flume of the Webber mill at Hokah went out, deluging the country for miles around and causing $2,000 dam- age. The La Crosse river has over- flowed its banks and many families had to be rescued with boats. AFTER TWENTY YEARS. Renville County Seat Contest Set- tled by Its Location at Olivia. Olivia, Minn., Oct. 31. — The can- vassing board met at Beaver Falls yesterday and canvassed the vote on the county seat proposition. They found Olivia had a majority of about 1,500, or about 68 per cent of the vote cast. The board declared the prop- osition carried and ordered the rec- ords moved to Olivia, and a large number of men and teams went to Beaver Falls for the purpose of re- moving them to this place. The ques- tion is thought to be settled for all time to come now. Olivia five years ago had the county seat for a few months, but Beaver Falls carried the matter to the supreme court and had enough votes thrown ‘out to defeat the remoyal. The county seat con- test has been carried on in Renville county for over twenty years, but it is now finally settled and work on the court house will be started immedi- ately. BOTH WILL LIVE. Deadwood Man Fails at Murder and Suicide. Deadwood, S. D., Oct. 31—Douglass Greenwood, a rounder of this city, is in jail for attempting to kill Gertie James, waitress of Lead. Greenwood cut the girl’s throat with a razor from ear to ear, but not deep enough to Jealous kill. He then cut his own throat badly. Jealousy was the cause of the crime. TRIPOLI DEPOSITS. Langdon, Minn., Oct. 31. — An im- mense mineral bed has been discov- ered on the farm of D. A. Kemp, a mile and a half south of this place. While excavating through the bluff a peculiar kind of mineral was found, which proved to be tripoli of the most valuable quality and of untold quan- tity. DISASTROUS STORM. Black River Falls, Wis., Oct. 31. — One of the most disastrous storms of recent years swept over this section of the state Sunday night, and as a re- suft dams are washed away and high- ways are in a deplorable condition. The river is rapidly rising, and fears are entertained that the water will reach a greater height than it was a few weeks ag?. Washouts are re- ported in every jirection. In this city the damage te property will be the greatest in receze years. (| TRACKS WASHED AWAY. Portions of Wisconsin and Minne sota Are Flooded. La Crosse, Wis., Oct. 30.—In twenty- four hours preceding 8 o’clock yester- day morning seven and one-quarter inches of rain fell. As far as reported no other point had such a rainfall. The storm in its severest form did not’ extend over fifty miles east, south ané west, but further north. The Milwau- kee road suffered the worst track trouble. No trains arrived from the east for twenty-four hours preceding 6 o’clock last evening, when the regu- lar train came through. All previous trains went via the Omaha from Camp Douglas to St. Paul. The’ worst trouble was between here and West Salem, on which section hundreds of men were at work yesterday. The Burlington road had some tracks un- dermined at Grand Crossing, but traffic has not been delayed. The Green Bay road has a washout on the marsh thirty feet wide and ten feet deep which will require at least three days to repair. On the Southern Min- nesota division the track was buried by earth so deep in some places that teams with scrapers were required te clear it. M’KENZIE ARRESTED. Special Marshal From San Fran- cisco Has Alex in Charge. Tacoma, Wash., Oct. 30.—The trans- port Lawton brings advices from Nome to ‘the effect that the Roanoke arrived on the day the former vessel sailed, and that the special United States marshal who was sent from San Fran- cisco by the circuit court to arrest Re- ceiver Alex McKenzie of North Da- kota had made the arrest and taken charge of the $250,000 of gold which McKenzie had in his possession, plac- ing a soldier sentry in the bank te guard against its being removed. It was expected that McKenzie would be brought down on the Lawton, but the marshal did not get ready by the time she sailed. He will probably be brought down on the Roanoke. A. B. PLOUGH DEAD. Formerly Vice President and Gen- eral Manager of the St. Paul & Du- luth, St. Paul, Oct. 30.—After lying un- conscious for three weeks Alexander B. Plough, formerly vice president and general manager of the St. Paul & Duluth railway, and one of the best known railroad men in the West, died at 11:49 o’clock Saturday night. Since last Wednesday the end has been hourly expected. That he could not re- cover from the paralysis which caused his death has been conceded. Follow- ing the fatal relapse, which occurred three weeks ago after a period dur- ing which he showed marked signs of improvement, he sank steadily, almost without even momentarily improve- ment. EASY ONE FOR MINNESOTA. Flickertails Not In It. With Gophers. Minneapolis, Oct. 30.—Minnesota, 34; North Dakota, 0. With a team which was not in some particulars the strongest the state university can put out, Minnesota defeated the Univer sity of North Dakota on Northrop field Saturday afternoon much more thoroughly than even the score indi- eates, and by exhibiting a form which improved steadily and rapidly throughout the game gave the follow- ers of the maroon and gold every reason to believe that Wisconsin will be defeated by ‘Minnesota next Satur- day. the CRAZED WOMAN KILLED. Run Down and Ground Up by Three Freight Trains. Yankton, S. D., Oct. 30.—The wife of Iver Bagstad, the richest man and leading citizen of Gayville, while temporarily deranged through illness. escaped from her home at night and was found by searching parties in the morning along the railroad track where three heavy freight trains had passed over her. Pieces of body were scattered over a hundred yards of the track. NEGRO ACTORS ARE INJURED. Absence of Lights on Troupe Train . Causes a Colliston. Appleton, Wis., Oct. 30. — Sixteen members of Isham’s King Erastus company, all negroes, were injured here last night in a railroad collision. The more seriously injured are E. T- Harris, leg broken; Annie Ross, skull fractured. A switch engine collided with the show cars which were stand- ing on the siding. No lights were dis- playec on the troupe train.
