'GO AND SEE TRUSSELL"
BEPUBLICAN MACHINE WORKERSHAVE RECEIVED A "TlP*'
Yonng Minneapolis Attorney In theMouthpiece Selected to Tell theHenchmen What Is Wnntrd otThem Tim H>rnes Is Back FromWashington.
"Go and see Trussell."That is the admonition that is whis-
pered around among the faithful ser-vants of the Republican party in thosegreat departments which are under thecontrol of Gov. Clough's closest andhiirhest salaried advisers.
lhe oil inspectors have heard thenoise.
That big political engine, the grain!imh etion depaitment, has felt the im-pulse of the mystic words.
The state house- crowd have had thetip.
Who is Trussell?A young attorney InMinneapolis, who
offices with Tim Byrnes; a native ofChamplin, a lifetime resident of Henne-pin county; a graduate of the univer-sity which it shelters, and for years aStruggling lawyer there.
Struggling ii was. Now he has grasp-ed the lion of fame by his paint-brushtail and every time he pinches it famelets out one more roar, which soundsa good deal like:
"For the I'nited States Senate—
Davidlfarstcn Clough."
Gov. Clough does not tell all his em-ployes to "go and see Trussell."
Private Secretary Hartley, however,wae entrusted to see that a few of thebtst trusted workers in the Clough fac-tion were summoned to the executivechamber at the capitol, and since th<-nthe sub-appointees have b>en marshal-ed on the hustings with a fervor whichpromises good to Senator Davis' hop;sof a re-election.
Before Nelson became senator he de-clared he was for Washborn. Cloughwas the residuary legatee of a mantlethat bore some of the grease marks ofmachine politics. Nelson has not yetdeclared for Davis, save In a not veryimpressive negative avowal that he isopposed to Cushman K. Van Sant, sup-rosed to be Clough's gubei-aatorial can-didate, is popularly supposed to befriendly to Davis. That ls just whatClough wants the public to think. Itis the possibility that the great bodyof Minnesota voter,; will detect thereal Inwardness of the Clough-Van Sant combination that makesthe Clough engineers fear a wreck oftheir machine.
All the machinery of the state prison,the Insane hospital patronage, and oth-er appointive influences ls to be throwninto the scale to defeat the re-electionof Davis, and supplant the diplomatwith the ambitious governor.
Sumner Lincoln Trussell, whose namebespeaks the hereditary patriotism that
Inspires his political associations, isthe agent trusted with the dissemina-tion to the working henchmen of thegovernor's overweening ambition, andhis office is daily thronged with theholden minions of the party like a Mon-day morning levee in a fashionable in-telligence office.
Tim E. Byrnes is back from Wash-ington, reticent, as usual, about livepolitical issues, but gossipy as may
be about the scenes and incidents ofhis trip with Mrs. Byrnes to old PointComfort, Atlanta, and elsewhere. Mr.Byrnes, however, did dispute the truthof the statement which has been madethat Minnesota's congressional dele-gation was "ferninst" Van Sant. Hesays:
It ls true that the congressmen feel thatthey should be consulted to some extent inthe make-up of the state ticket, and theymay not enjoy being Ignored in the mat-ter," yet for all that they are net entirelyunfavorable to Van Sant. In fact, theyhave not passed upon the matter in a body,and some of them are for Van Sant, whileothers are not.Ihave taken lt for granted for some
time past that the district attorneyshipwas to go to Halvor Steenerson, of Crooks-ton, and Ihave had no occasion to changemy opinion as yet. Ihave had no con-versation with either of the senators uponthat matter, but Ibelieve Steenerson lsthe man. For the marshalshlp, as youknow, there are several candidates fromMinneapolis, and Ell S. Warner, of St.Paul, has not yet given up his fight forthe place. It is a long time before theseappointments, and that of collector of in-ternal revenue are due and it is probablethat the senators have not yet decided whoshall be given the places. For the internalrevenue collectorship a new candidate hasbeen mentioned in the person of formerSenator Burkhardt, of Wabasha county.The sen 4 rs are very much pleased withthe appointment of Senator Peterson as col-lector of customs, and seem to think lt awinningone.
The sentiment among Mlnnesotans inWashington is that Senator Davis will se-cure a re-election, and Irather think somyself, although Ibelieve he will have op-position. How strong or bow solid thisopposition will be, lt Is, of course, im-possible to estimate at this time, and lt isequally impossible to say whom they willunite upon as the opposition candidate.
Ex-Mayor P. B. Winston, of Min-neapolis, who is visiting his old homein Virginia, has been interviewed inWashington. He said he thought VanSant would be the Republican nomineefor governor, with D. M. Clough's as-sistance. He does not think thatEustis can carry Hennepin against thecombination. Mr. Winston is of theopinion that if John Lind ls again thenominee he will sweep the state.
"Idon't know," he said in reply to aquestion, "whom the Democrats havein mind if they don't fuse. Ithink thatin most state matters the silver andgold Democrats will get together in thecoming campaign in our state."
"Yes, Ibelieve that Senator Daviswillbe elected his own successor. TheRepublicans have no one they can beathim with."
"How about Clough?""Clough won't do. He can't win
against Davis, nor can he beat Nelsonwhen his term expires."

A Young Giant.Way back from Adam and Eve we have
read in the Bible about great and tall menthat have grown up to about nine feet, and,furthermore, we have heard from historythat men ln those days were as tall as up toeleven feet, but whether It Is so or not, it isleft to the people in this nineteenth centuryto determine whether it Is so or not, but nowin these days when people as a majority allover this great big earth have learned thatthere are none ln our days above seven feetsix. We have today a man that came to St.Paul, or rather a boy of twenty-three yearsol(L that came to St. Paul from the northernpan of Sweden. His weight is 352 pounds andhis height ls seven feet six.

The total amount expended by theplaintiff in the purchase of the apples. In-cluding the freight charges from Leaven-worth, Kas., amounted to $£89.55.
Tlie plaintiff also alleges that the repre-sentations and warranties were fal.-e and f aud-ulent and that the apples were of such a poorand inferior quality that they did not realizebut $585.35. The defendant thereafter prom-ised to repay the defendant, so lt ls alleged,the sum of $113.20, but has failed to do so.
For a second cause of action the plaintiffalleges that had the apples been of thequality represented, it would have realizeda profit of $81.45. Hence Uie plaintiff de-mands judgment against the defendant for$194.65.

WILLINVITETHOUSANDS PRIVATE STOHB IS GUILTY.
Court Martial Imposes nFine Whichtlie Battery Man Will Xot Pay.
The verdict of the court martial be-fore which Private Stohr, of BatteryA, has been . on trial, charging himwith absenting himself from drill, wasannounced yesterday* Tht- court finalsPrivate Stohr guilty of staying awayfrom drill from Sept. 3, 18$i/until Dec17, 1897.
The sentence of the cojutt is thatStohr be fined $10 and jalso lhe requiredto pay ?15 costs. In case of his failureto pay the fine and costs within fivedays after a copy of the. findings ofthe court are served oh hihi, the courtmartial can commit Stohr the coun-ty jail for the term of twelve days.
Stohr declares that he will not paythe fine or any part thereof.
"In that event, if fhe court martialcommits Stohr to the county jail,"sayshis counsel, William' L,oufg Kelly Jr.,"I will apply for a writ ..of habeascorpus, and in that way test the con-stitutionality of the new military codeadopted by the last legislature. Icon-tend that the law is invalid and un-constitutional, because it gives thecourt martial power to deprive a manof his liberty without a trial by jury.
"Moreover, the law is unconstitution-al because it provides for imprison-ment for debt
—that is In case of the
non-payment of the fine. Ishall alsourge the objection that Mr. Stohr is asubject of Germany and is not amena-ble to punishment by a court martial."

The meeting was the result of correspon-dence between a committee appointed by thechamber of commerce, real estate board anelCommercial club and the board of trade ofMinneapolis, ln relation to the publishing ofthe joint statistics of the Tw*a Cities. Themeeting was exciting.
Tho question was thoroughly discussed.The Idea Is to have the Joint statistics ofthe two cities published in pamphlet form.This little pamphlet will be placed in thecorrespondence..of every business man of thetwo cities and sent over the world.
While the question of future union was notformally touched upon, several expressionsof friendliness to such a movement were madeby both sides, and it was the unanimous opin-ion of those present that, this publishing ofthe joint statistics was an opening wedgeto future amalgamation.
After much discussion regarding details,lt was decided that another meeting wouldbe held in the near future, and In the mean-time both sides would devote themselves togathering figures and data.It was agreed by both committees that they
would report favorably upon the questionwhen they made their reports to their differ-ent bodies.

The StruKgle to Establish nnd Main-tain a School of Fine Arts HasBeen Met Successfully The In-stitution Whose Students GainHecoK'tillioii Elsewhere.
In the new studios of the St. PaulSchool of Fine Arts are two lifeclasses at work during the day.
The morning class is composed ofyoung women who draw each morningfrom the nude model.
In the evening the life class Is com-posed of men who are employedthrough the day.
The afternoon classes draw fromthe draped model and compose thehead classes. The school is, conse-quently, busy all day. The cost ofhiring three models a day is consid-erable, and is one of the greatest ex-penses of the institution. But it isnecessary to keep up the standard.The school is also regarded as an in-dustrial school, and offers opportuni-ties to illustrators and designers. Oneyoung man who was associated withthe Twin City papers at one time, isnow with a New York newspaper, andhis work is thought so highly of thatfor the last year he has been makinga drawing a day.

upon the invitation of the directors of theTrans-Mississippi and International Expo-sition, visited Omaha on Thursday, Feb. 3,for Inspection of the work already done lnanticipation of the opening upon June Istof en exposition of the material products ofthe trans-Mississlppl region, believe it to betheir duty to formally make to you a state-ment of what they found and the conclu-sions which they reached.
The exposition association has well ad-vanced toward completion a group of build-ings beautiful ln architecture and magnifi-cent In their proportions, which promise toexceed in the capacity, aR well as in thearchitectural effect, anything offered to thepublic ln the United States, with the singleexception, perhaps, of the White City, whichdazzled millions during the year 1893, inChicago. These buildings are but a part ofthe preparation now being made for an ex-position which there is abundant evidence,will be second only to the Columbian expo-sition of 1893. The plans of the manage-ment are upon so comprehensive a scale,the responses from the various states lnthe trans-Mississippi district have been socordial, and the co-operation of the UnitedStates government as well as many foreignnations, has been so prompt and liberal,that itis certain that the exposition willbegreater than any that has preceded it ln thiscountry, with the possible exception of theCentennial exposition and the World's Co-lumbian exposition, to which reference hasalready been made. Any idea which anyone of our party may have entertained thatthe exposition is to be local in character oreven confined to a few of the Western orNorthwestern states, was quickly disabusedby the evidence which was produced andwhat we found had already been accom-plished. We desire to impress upon you,that the work of the management has beenso well done as to leave no shadow of doubtthat the exposition will be all that is claimedfor it.
The significance of such an exposition, lo-cated at a central point in the great West,coming at a time when we have enteredupon a new era cf prosperity, likely to bring
school from eight years old up. Theydraw from the antique.
The St. Paul School of Fine Arts wasincorporated in June, 1894, a numberof St. Paul ladies feeling that therewas a demand for a means of moreserious study along this line. Theschool was modeled on the same planas the best schools of the country, andan earnest effort made by the ladiesinterested to make the standard thehighest. As a proof of the success withwhich these efforts have been met theypoint to the fact that three studentshave recently been admitted to Ken-yon Cox's life class of the Art league,New York. To this class admission lasought by students- from art schools allover the country by the sending ofdrawings, and the St. Paul school feelsproud to have had three students ad-mitted to so limited a class.
One young woman went direct fromthe St. Paul school into St. Gaudens'studios, and her casts have been great-ly complimented.
Several of the St. Paul students havegone direct into the Academic Julian inParis, being admitted with high rank.So the women feel that their endeavorshave not been misspent, even thoughthe school has had something of astruggle financially.
For a long time the school was underthe direction of Burt Harwood, and,upon his departure for Paris a year ormore ago, he suggested Mrs. I.N. R.Barber as his successor, and Mrs. Bar-ber has made quite as much of theschool, it ls said, as did Mr. Harwood.There are at present sixty membersenrolled, and though the tuition is aslarge as ls usual, yet on account ofthe models, teachers' salaries, and
with it Immigration to the still sparselysettled prairies of the trans-Mississippi re-gion, cannot be underestimated, and we be-lieve that not. the least of the beneficial re-sults likely to accrue from such an exposi-tion, must be the education which lt willafford the millions who are likely to visitlt and who are citizens of the states partici-pating in it.
We found that, with the exception of ourown state, and possibly a few of the otherremote Western states and territories,provision had been made for state represen-tation, either in the buildings provided bythe exposition management, or by buildingsto be erected by private subscription, or by-funds provided by legislative appropriationin some of the states where legislation hasbeen possible. We believe that Minnesota,with her varied products, her almost lim-itless wealth of resources, should not fail tobe represented in some way at this exposi-tion.
We are of the opinion that the indirectresults would be important, and the directresults, even during the year IS9S, wouldnot be Inconsiderable if the state of Minne-sota presents herself adequately to the mil-lion of visitors from the East who arolikely to visit the exposition during theterm that It is opened, lt is reasonable tobelieve that a large number of the Easternvisitors to the Trans-Mississippi and Inter-national Exposition, many of whom will bedrawn to Omaha to attend the hundred ormore conventions scheduled to meet ln thecity between June 1 and Nov. I—the timecovering the period that the exposition willbe opened to the public—will be aitracted to
the summer resorts with which Minnesotaabounds, and will not let the oportunitypass to inspect some of the wonders to thowest of us. This means lhat they are likelyto visit the Twin Cities and inspect tin-great prairies of Minnesota and the twoDakotas, of which so much has been saidand written. More possibly than any West-ern state will Minnesota claim the attentionof the visitors from the East at this seasonof the year, who may be drawn to the Westto attend the exposition and the events in-cident thereto, if the proper effort ls made.
We believe therefore lt is of the utmostImportance that some steps be taken toadequately represent Minnesota at this ex-position, and therefore appeal to individ-uals, communities and organized bodiesthroughout the state to give support to suchefforts es may be made by the commissionalready .appointed by his excellency the gov-ernor to take this matter In charge.
Unfortunately, tho legislature of 1897 didnot appreciate as we now do the extent andcharacter of this exposition, and so no pro-vision was made for representation on thisoccasion. In other states where small ap-propriations had already been made, thesame evidence as was presented to us hasresulted ln more liberal provision beingmade for representation. Such sums as maynow be raised ln Minnesota will necessarilybe by subscription or by guarantee of somesort. We are assured that the commissionupon the part of the state of Minnesotawill be prepared within a short time to pre-sent to the people of the state some definiteplan of co-operation to this end.
When such plan has been presented wetrust it will meet with a hearty response,firmly believing, as we do, that any expen-diture which may be made will redound tothe benefit of the entire commonwealth.While so believing we should not lose sightof the fealty we owe to the neighboringBtate which undertook, at first almost sin-gle-handed, to carry forth this project, norour obligation to the sisterhood of state inthe Trans-Mississippi district now unitedln this effort to represent adequately and for

rental, a large expense is incurred "iiiorder, as before said, to keep the stand-ard of the best. Heretofore this haabeen met by the generosity of the pres-ident and board of directors and a few"of their friends. The Monday Art andHistory class, of which Mrs. Met-calf hus charge, has also assisted, andrecently voted $300 for the school fromUs treasury. Still after four years'work a debt has been Incurred, andrecently the ladies felt obliged to callupon the art-loving citizens of St. Paulfor assistance. This has been metgenerously, and the officers of theschool feel deeply indebted to thosewho have shown them so much goodwill.
In their new studios, In the Mooreblock, Seven Corners, the members feelvery well satisfied. The studios arewell equipped for years of service, andthe members do not care for a finerbuilding, but the women do want finan-cial aid for the future, as, howeverlirißht the present year may be, thefuture is still uncared for.
