PRAISES N. W. FARMERSJOHN MILLER EX-GOV. OF X. DAK.

Settlers of tlie Northwest Are aSplendid Class of Home-

Builders.

John Miller of Duluth, one of the prom-inent grain men at the head of the lakes,and first governor of tfc» flfcate of NorthDakota is in the <?Hy. It was duringGovernor Miller's administration that theLouisiana lottery made an effort to se-cure legislative privileges to operate inNorth Dakota, but the governor's per-sistent fight was successful In keeping thelottery out of the state. He has Just re-turned from an extensive trip through thenorthwest. He says:

There is hardly a productive section in thenorthwest that has not had its share of Im-migration this spring. The attractive part ofit is that the new people are an industriousclass, full of vigor, which every new countryrequires. The same determination and thesame energy displayed in pioneering thestates of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois are theprominent traits of the northwestern farmerof to-day. The nationality niay be differentin some instances but the determination tobuild homes and the ambition to make thebest use of their opportunities as Americancitizens is Just as evident.

Credit for the Farmer.When another fifty years of American his-

tory shall have been written the north-western farmer of to-day will be accordeddue credit. We must show admiration andgive credit to the big enterprises that developthe country and help make America great,but after all the greatest thing about Americato-day is American citizenship and in noplace can a better illustration of what thatmeans be found than among these farmerswho are making the northwest great. Theproducing classes should be the first con-cern of this government. They are the key-stone of the arch. In this great element thewestern fanner is a. leader because he is athinker.It needs but ordinary observation in making

a trip through the different sections of thenorthwest to convince one that the next tenyears will create a marvelous change iv thispart of America. Minnesota's products willcarry her name to every good market on theglobe. Both Dakotas will increase rapidly inwealth and population. Ibelieve that the cityof Fargo will have a population of 20.<W0 inless than ten years. The northwestern farm-er has finally learned the value of divorsifledcrops, and that means a big increase in thewealth of this section.

The Primary Election.

Wherever I go I find that the principle ofprimary election reform Is growing in favorrapidly. Minnesota is in advance of the restof this country in the operation of such alaw, which is to her credit. The law ispractical. Itmay require some amendmentsbut in the end the people will be wellsatisfied, and its application to the selectionof congressional nominees in the next pri-

maries will make new friends for itMr. Miller says that Duluth and the

entire country tributary are preparing forbig trade results this year. The rangecountry is enjoying a boom. Duluth realestate is selling rapidly at good prices.

The demand is legitimate and steady.

RECEPTIONTO OLCOTTTheosophical Leader Talks of Cult

and Personal Experiences.

Colonel Olcott, the president of theTheosophical society, was the guest of.honor last night at a large Informal re-ception given by Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Ho-bart on Forest avenue. Welcome wasextended to Colonel Olcott by Mrs. Elli-son, president of the Ishwara branch. Mr.Olcott replied with an expression of de-light at coming back to his own countryafter an absence of twenty-two years. Hesaid he was not at all satisfied with thegreat rush for wealth which he notedamong his countrymen. The guests

closed about the colonel as he talked inturn of his experiences as a special ex-aminer of the war and navy departmentsduring the civil war when he unearthedgreat frauds at the arsenals and navyyards and of phenomena which he had ob-served since he had become interested inoccult science. He related the story con-nected with the Blavatsky ring whichcame from the center of a moss rose,dropped by invisible agency, on his hand,and which later was set with three dia-monds while in the closed hand of a sis-ter. He attributes none of these phe-nomena to supernatural causes, but to apower obtained by an extended knowledge

of science.Colonel Olcott will open his lecture

course to-night at the Unitarian church.He will speak on "The Divine Art ofHealing."

ham of the society believed the pottery whichhe unearthed to have been left by the traderswho first set foot on the soil of the present

THAT IS THE LATEST REPORT

Proprietors of Resorts Called Before

luve>tlKntii>K Body TbiaMorning,

Keepers of houses of ill-fame, both ofthe licensed and sub-rosa variety, werecalled before the county attorney thismorning and while some of them weretaken before the grand jury, it is thoughtthat the majority simply had a prelim-inary examination before the committeeappointed for the purpose. These womenwere not detained very long, showing thatthe questions asked were short, though tothe point. They were Invited to statewhether they have ever been called uponto pay money for protection other thanthe amounts of their regular monthly finesin the municipal court. It is said thatthe women had very little information tooffer.

Former Chief of Police Doyle was sub-poenaed and it is expected that he willgive the jury a deal of valuable informa-tion, which he is in a position to do byreason of his long experience in the po-lice department.

One lone saloonkeeper was called in andone ex-pojiceman.

At noon subpoenaes were sent out forformer police officers, it is believed.

Freeman P. Lane called upon the countyattorney during the morning with the re-quest that the attention of the grand Jurybe called to John Dempsey, who, it isalleged, is conducting tha clock game inHarmonia hall. This place was formerlyoperated by George Grimes and Lane in-stituted the action which resulted in aninety-day workhouse sentence, which hassince been sustained by the supreme court.Mr. Lane says that he will make the sit-uation equally embarrassing for Grimes'successor.

It is now generally conceded that thejury will not stop with a simple reportdenouncing the conditions which have beenshown as prevailing, and it is taken forgranted that there will be several indict-ments returned, and in consequence thereis a great deal of uneasiness iv the vicin-ity of the city hall.

Chrlutenwon Names King1. i

Walter Christenson, the young man whoentered complaint before the jury that hehad been brutally slugged by an officerafter beiDg placed under arrest and takento the central lock-up, says that CaptainNorman King was the man who assaultedhim. He says that King struck him sev-eral times and cut his face badly. After-wards, he says, he was thrown into a celland his request for water with which towash his face was denied by the officers inattendance.

Definite developments from the grandjury room are expected at any moment,though it is likely that the work still instore will take the rest of the week.

Paying; Dividends.

The present grand jury has been ex-tremely profitable financially to the county—is a record-breaker, in fact. The finescollected already amount to over $8,000,'and the total is expected ultimately tomount as high, perhaps, as $15,000. Noprevious grand jury ever managed to bringin to the county as much as $4,000.'

WOULD PAY IN LANDHenry F. Brown Anxious to Settle

With tue City.

Henry F. Brown owns fifteen acres ofland adjoining the workhouse propertywhich he desires to convey to the city inliquidation of the balance of $35,000 duethe city on .account of his liability on ac-count of the A. C. Haugan defalcation.He made the proposition to the board ofcorrections and charities at yesterday'sadjourned meeting and the board decidedto recommend to the city council the ac-ceptance of the offer. The land is said to

be worth from $100 to $150 per acre.The board resolved to proceed with the

construction o? the new contagious dis-ease building at the city hospital andpay no heed to the injunction talk ofthe protesting residents thereabouts. Th.?board assumes to have good legal author-ity that no Injunction will stand; thatthe aggrieved parties will have to comeinto court after the building is built andIn operation and prove damages.

TO TALK STRIKEThe Machinists "Will Consider the

Situation To-night.

The local machinists' union will meetat Alexander's hall this evening to dis-

cuss matters connected with the expectedstrike of next week. Machinists thecountry over are standing together for areduction of the working day to ninehours and a 12% per cent increase inwages, and the local union will join in themovement. The present agreement ex-pires next Monday. It is the understand-ing that the employes in the railroadshops will not be involved. There areabout 6QO machinists in the city, of whom

100 are in the union.

ATTENDANCE IS LIGHT

. City May Get Some Land.

At the meeting of the 'board of charitiesand correction, held in the mayor's officeyesterday, Superintendent Hagman report- 1

ed that there were only fifty-eight inmatesat the workhouse. The mayor thoughtthat this light attendance should bebrought to the attention of the grandjury as an evidence of the scarcity ofcrooks in the city. A reduction in thenumber of workhouse guards will prob-ably be made.

Mayor Ames informed the board thatan arrangement might, be made wherebyHenry F. Brown's $35,000 indebtedness tothe city might 'be offset by I Mr. Brown'sdeeding to the city fifteen acres of fertileland adjoining the workhouse property.This subject will be disposed of later.
