A Youthful SpeeuIator in San Fran
CISCO

San Francisco stands aghast at the
audacious stock operations of one
Charles Kuchel, youth of nineteen.
This adventurous and enterprising in
dividual, mere brokers' clerk, with
no capital except his native audacity
and craft. actually rivaled in the
magnitude of his stock transactions
the veteran millionaires who are pop
ularlY supposed to control the mar
ket, make corners and send stock up
and down according to their pleasure.
His operations, thus far ascertained,
during the two first weeks of last
January, amounted to $157, 900, while
during the months of May and June
they figured up the incredible sum
of over $4,000. His transac tions
from the beginning of the year to
the 21st of July amounted to over
100000 But these figures, stun
ming as they may seem, only cover
his sales and purchases through two,
brokers. He is known to have also
operated through others, and the full
extent of his stock dealings has not
yet been ascertained. While carry
ing on business on this magnificent
scale, he drove high spirited trotters
on the Cliff road, and is said to be
the owner of no less than three dash
ing double-teamS He was gor-
geously apareled, Jared sumptuously
every day and had the best of every
thing gring that could be obtained
for money. There was nothing mig
gardly about this precOcious prod
igal. If he lavished his money freely,
it was not expended upon himself
and his individual pleasures. A few
weeks age, he sent his mother and
sister on a European tour, and his
main solicitude when arrested seemed
to be lest they should hear of his dis
grace. The fact that the boy was
able to continue such a career so
long undetected, using the stocks
and credit Of his employers on such
an extensive scale, seems inexplica-
BILE. The defrauded broker, when a
friend applied to him, asking the
situation made vacant by KuchePs
detection for another youth, made
answer: If you have a boy that you
care anything about, set him at any
thing but the stock trade. Put him
into gambling den if you like, set
him to dealing faro, but don't make
a brokers' clerk of him. The real
gambling will be less trying to his
morals than the base California
street imitation. -.

Senator Thurman has freed his
mind in relation to Ohio politics,
and the fact that his views were ex-
pressed in conversation instead of
set speech adds interest to the mat
ter. Private feelings and public ut
terances are often far apart in poll
tics, but it will surprise no one to
learn that Mr.. Thurman is thorough
ly disgusted with his party in Ohio,
and that he predicts, expects, and
desires N Republican victory. His
sentiments in regard to Sam Cary,
whom he heartily despises; his
views on finance; his feeling Of en-
nifty towards the "meddling priests"
who have forced the Democrats in
to false position, and an attitude
offensive to those who would prefer
to keep religion out of politics-all
are antagonistic to the declared pol
icy of the Ohio Democracy; and

BOY KILLED. i


We learn from Sheriff Geissel the fol-
lowing particulars of sad accident which
occurred in the town of Zion Tuesday of
last week: A son, about fifteen years old,
Of Mr.. John Gilley, had been sent for
load of wood, and was on his return.
When within about half mile of home, It
would appear that he stopped the horses
and went between them to knock off the balls
of snow which had gathered on their
feet. Evidently he had taken up the foot
of one Of the horses, when the animal fell
on him, throwing him down and against
the pole of the wagon. The boy struck
with his neck on the pole and the horse
fellon him, breaking his neck. The first
person who came along was DR.; Hoffman,
but he was not able to exticate the lad,
who still showed some signs of life. When
help came and the body was gotten out
from under the PROSTATE horse the boy
was dead.

A. CLOSE CALL.

Tuesday Of last week H. Bailey, of the
town of Albany, was hunting, and had just
emerged from the: woods and. brush and
was crossing marsh, when, he heard the
crack of rife and the next thing he knew
he "knew nothing:'' When he came: to
himself again he discovered that a rifle
ball had, in a neat ande1peditious manner,
Ploughed through his scalp and along the
back part of his skull, making wound
which while not serious was not at all COM
Portable. The firing had doubtless been by
some one who had mistaken him for deer,
and who ran as soon as he discovered his
mistake. This person, whoever he was,
was on ridge, about 40 feet distant from
Bailey, when he shot.

Mr.. r. G, Judson. Secretary Of tbs STATE
Agricultural sost sty, was Ia thopity Hi,
day to see what Stearns county would do
toward being properly represented 1t tho
great Centennial Exposition At Philadel-
PIMA next year. He made arrangements
with Mr.. I. 9. Mcclure to receive articles
amended fof exhibitisn and to supply sacks
toy wheat, etes ass& sas5 y Ss.xssss
Stearns county is one of the richest md
most prosperous counties in the State, and
is capable of making ! display in keep
ing with its position Is one Of the best
parts Of the best State in the Union. Ou1
farmers raise wheat which cannot be ex-
celled anywhere ; they. raise good corn,
good rye, good bar'ey-good everything in
the agricNltpral line, IT. II desired that
farmers select three pecks Of. their beat
wheat and put it in one ofthe sacks, which
will b furnished them. This sack will be
marked With the name Of the man who
raised the grain the variety Of the grain :;
the number Of bushels raised per acre; the
character Of the soil; etc. Corn in the ear is
wanted, so that the world may be satisfied,
by actual sight, that Minnesota can raise
corn. Samples of our grasses are also
! wanted.
1t would be we'll to have this thing done
systematically by towns. Every town in the
county should be represented by some one
or more products. There is no danger of
sending too much to the Exposition, es-
pecially if Minnesota puts up building of
her own, as she ought to do. There is no
expense to individuals in the matter,
transportation being furnished free.
Such display of products as Stearns
county could make would not only be graf
flying to the pride of the people of the
county and credit to them, but would b
matter of direct pecuniary benefit
Thousands Of people in the older States
and from abroad will go to the Exhibition
to gain informationwith regard to the West,
and such tangible evidences of the produc-
tiveness of the soil as can be furnished by
the superior qualities ofiwheat and other
grains shown there will go very far toward
settling their choice. Stearns county has
nothing to fear from any competition. Let
our farmers take hold of this matter at
once, and send in their best samples.
Of course, Judge Evans will see to THAT
specimens of St. Cloud granite are not
wanting. And Why should not Messrs.
Doughty and Bennett, both ssk,lful taxider-
mists, have \ display of wild fowls,
