ANOTHER HAUL OF COMMENSURATE
A week ago last Friday Sheriff King, Of
Winona, with posse of assistants, went out
to place called Money Greek, about fifteen
miles from Winona, in pursuit of stolen
property, principally horses. On arriving
there he surrounded a house in the night
taking the inmates by surprise, and arrested
tour men and woman. After combining
them, the Sheriff made an examination oil
the premises, and found span Of stolen
horses, carriages, cutter, plows, and various
other articles identified as having been
stolen by the citizens.
Upon a close examination of trunks be
found three purses of counterfeit coin, OF
the denominations OF half and quarter dol.
lars and dimes, and also the materials for
manufacturing the coin, chemicals. noulds,
etc.
The prisoners were carried to Winona,
and surrendered to the United States Mar
shal, who took them before the United
States Commissioner, and after an exami.
nation they were bound over for trial
in the sum of $1,000 each, in defanlt of
which three of them were yesterday brought
to ST. Paul and lodged in the Ramsey
county Jail, and the Others were delivered
to the Iowa authorities, to answer to the
charge of stealing the horses. which were
identified by Iowa men.
The next night after the above arrest,
there was another span OF horses stolen
within three miles OF the den of the coun-
terfeters, and the excitement being in
tense among the people, they turned out,
some thirty strong, and arrested man, and
hung him up to tree for while, and the
Sheriff took him out of their hands, and the
proof not being sufficient upon an examina.
ton, he was released.
The place where the cOunterfeiters were
found, appeared to be a resort for horse
thieves and cOHnterfeiters, and the citizens
are much grati6ed that it is broken up.

Meteorological Notes for September,
1891.

The month has been pleasant one, not
outstanding the amount of cloudy weather
which has prevailed. 1t came in with a
high temperature, which continued, how
ever, only for the first two days. Still,
frost, to do any injury, did not occur until
the last day Of the month. 1t was then
very severe. Ice formed to considerable
thickness, and vegetation generally was
killed. This was the first frost since the
22d of April-a longer interval than has
occurred for several years. On the Both
at five P. NJ, rain storm set in, which is
still in progress lat noon Oct. 1st), and at
seven A. N. had deposited 1.5O inches of
water. All crops have been harvested in
good condition. During the month high.
er degree of temperature has been noticed
than in any September for the five years
past. At two O'Clock P. NJ. on the
eighteenth the mercury stood at sc degrees.
A like degree of heat was experienced
at New York on the goth and 2lst. This
shows that the heat~wave, if it may be so
called, passes from West to East at times,
and that its progress is about 800 miles
day.

born received the following despatch on
Monday:
WASHINGTON, Sept. %.
Adjutant General Sanbo7n;
Major Smith has received fifty thousand dol
lars to pay Second Regiment for three months.
GEO. W. HARRINGTON.
This news will delight the officers and
soldiers. We presume the expenses of the
officers in recruiting their companies will
lelso be paid, which, together with their
monthly pay, will make handsome sum for
each. The rule of the department requires
payments hereafter to be made every two
months. The pay of Uncle Sam, in add.
ton to providing everything necessary for
clothing and subsistence, is much better than
the majority of people can make in their
ordinary occupations.
