On Monday evening disturbance occurred at
the City Saloon, nearly opposite the Winsow
House, arising out of the desire of certain par
ties to tear down the building occupied by another
party carrying on the same business. But one
Policeman was present, who, being unable to do
anything himself, was asked why he did not call
his companions? He informed gentleman that
to do SO he was obliged to go down town, and
at his suggestion he started. We waited up
wards of half an hour, but as he did not make
his appearance, we are fearful he has been lost.
And this is our Police system. Every Ward
should have its Policemen within hailing distance
of each other, so that in case of difficulty they
can be on hand without being obliged to trot

DARING ROBBERY! $1,000 STOLEN -
The Safe belonging to L. G. Berry & Co.,
Bankers Of Adrian, which was robbed Of $l1, :
600 last Thursday night, by turning the key
of the Office door from the outside, and stealing
the key from the pocket Of the clerk, who was
asleep, thereby enabling the thief to open the
safe. The safe was manufactured by Duryee
& Forsyth, of Rochester. We contend, and
such robberies will convince the public, that a
banker who locks his money in safe, and
is obliged to lock his keys up in another safe,
or hide them, might as well hide his money.
Now, Lilies Safes and Locks are the only
patent which afford this protection-the keys
being carried in the head instead of the pocket
of the owner. 1t is dial Lock capable of be.
ing locked on any number, from one up to
millions, and the number on which it is locked

WAzIOJlE, July 70, 1886.
This is little town four and half miles from
Manterville, forty from Red Wing, thirty-fve
from Farribault on the Zumbro river. 1t is now
three months since the proprietors took it into
their heads to build up town here, and there are
now three Stores, one Grocery, mot grogery,)
and one Hotel, thirty-six by seventy-four. There
will be added next week, one Shoe shop, one Tin
shop, one Blacksmith shop, one Cabinet shop,
and Cigar factory. The proprietors have just
entered into contracts for the building of large
FIGURING Mill, a Machine shop and Saw Mill !;
to be completed within one year. We have fifteen
good frame buildings and the best School and
School House in the county. The proprietors
give lots to those who will build on them, provi-
ded however, that if they sell ardent spirits they
forfeit their title. Our population numbers nearly
one hundred-three months ago there was but one
family here. Every quarter section of land is
taken up for miles around us, and claims sell
very high. l say claims, for through the incor-
rectness Of the survey, we have not been able to
pre-empt our lands yet. This portion of the
country is the best proportional as regards tim

Fremont CLUD.-Our neighbor of the Minneso-

st. Paul organize Fremont Club. We endorse
the suggestion and recommend that action be ia
ken Immediately. Let those who have less to do
than editors, circulate paper for names, or take
the responsibility Of calling meeting themselves.
Saturday evening would be a good time for a
preliminary meeting on which occasion We pro-
pose that Col. Delahay of Kansas, be invited to
address those present. The Colonel was an old
line Southern Democrat, edited paper in Kan
sas which was destroyed by the mob, was subse-
quently elected member Of Congress, and has
recently been canvassing the States in favor of
Free Kansas. We trust our Republican friends
will take the matter in hand and get up such a
meeting as will knock the buttons off the red
shirt Of Border Rufianism, in this community
The Pioneer and its clique are particularly invt-
ed to attend.

From Thonpson's Reporter.
CounterfeitimR.

The late arrests of counterfeiters BY Police
sf6cers Robert j. Brown and Keefe, and the de.
velopments made thereby, prove what we have
always thought to be the case, viz: that most of
the numerous spurious notes which have been so
abundantly issued during the past two years,
were engraved by persons Z" above suspicion .
having regular engraving establishments, with
transferring presses, ruling machines, &c. Mr..
Brown has shown us the spurious plate of the
Union Bank, R. L., all the main parts Of which
are genuine engraving. He found with the coun-
terfeiters quantity of dies of genuine work,
which are now in his possession. The way these
outside engraving establishments obtain posses
sion of the work Of the regular bank-note en-
gravers, is this-They buy up the steel plates of
broken banks for q small sum-then cut out the
vignettes, counters, ends, &C., and harden them.
They then " take up' dies from these plates, and
are prepared to multiply the engravings TO- any
extent, without having to engrave line them
selves. A man comes in and wants . plate got
up for a /" Merchats' Bank" Gail right" says
the engraver SIT is none of our business what
you want Of the plate" So they get up plate
on the IS Merchants Bank" with no State or
town on it. The printers and issuers of the
money engrave in the name of some State and
town, print off batch, and put them in circu-
lation. We describe it at once, and before the
description is fairly out, another batch appears
ty; and thus they 60 the rounds Of all the Mer-
ohants' Banks in the country. The officers found
the plate already altered, and number of notes
printed on the Onion Bank, Swanty Falls, VT.
We hope thorough and impartial investigation
Of this affair win be made, and If the partieJim.
plicated in engrauing these notes are found guil-
", that they will be punished severely.
The prevention of this lies mainly with the
regular engrsves themselves. They should never
allow plate to 60 out Of their possession. The
public can better trust the engrsvers than they
can the Banks.
