Ducks and Immigration.

Messrs. s. Lee Davis, G. A. Tim norman,
Fletcher Williams and J. Coulter returned yes
terday from their camping out excursion to
Kandiyohi county after ducks. The party
bagged over 100, most of which were shipped
on Monday, but the cold weather during a
portion of their stay, interfered materially with
their success, as the ducks left incontinently
upon it's advent.
In the course of conversation YESTERDAY
with GLOBE reporter, Mr.. Davis said that the
number of immigrants pouring along the main
line of the st. Paul g. Pacific, is absolutely
marvellous. In going up, he said, he could not
obtain a seat, and there were upon the train
no less than ffty-four persons bound
for Fishers Landing alone. Everybody
seemed infested with land-craze. The people
of Kandiyohi were very hopeful this year, and
believed they would not be disturbed this year
by grasshoppers. Acting upon this impression
the rush for State seed wheat was beyond pre-
cedent. One man told Mr.. Lee that he started
early on a recent day for Willmar for his seed
but found 100 teams ahoad of him. and he had
to wait all day to catch his turn. The whole
of Kandiyohi county seemed to be undergoing
the process of being turned over The farmers
were engaged in blowing in every direction.
even the women and children being Impressed
into the services. Mr. Lee said he would not
be at all surprised if 6O,OOO,O 900 bushels of
wheat were raised in this State this year.

CABBIES IN COUNCIL.

The Hack and Bus Men In Council over an
Increase In Rates of Fares-NO Con-
clusion Reached, and the Matter Referred
to a Committee.
Approaching the fact that flush times are
about to dawn upon a long suffering communi-
ty, and that business is about to awaken from
It's long continued stagnation, the omnibus and
carriage proprietors have for some time been
meditating upon new strategic move whereby
the low rates now prevalent might be eradi-
Gated and new scale of fares put in force.
70 this end meeting has been held in which the
participants agreed that the present rates
were too low and should be increased, but dis
agreed as to the exact amount of the advance
to be made thereon. Various suggestions were
made, but no definite conclusion was reached.
The matter was therefore referred to COM
mlttee to report at subsequent meeting which
is to be held tomorrow night.
1t is understood that the hitch arises out of
the ever-existing and irrepressible conflict of
interest between the bus men and the hack
men proper, and that the difficulty is to adj
lust the scale as not to benefit the one at the
expense Of the other. How the matter viii
pan out remains to be seen, but if that little
disagreement should remain unadjusted and
that new scale of rates never come to light, it
is not believed the public at large will mourn
thereat and like Rachel, refuse to be comforted
because it is not.

lower town, the objective point being Carver's

sary accompaniment, but as the expedition did
not return to the centre of the city until AM,

Everything within had been arranged with

an abundant supply of frewood, and were

Thirteen were captured in all one of whom

and marched the prisoners to the station in
safety, none attempting to escape, but some
either were lame, or pretended to be SO. The
prisoners will be on exhibition at the munic;-

Don't Like Jim.

Ia
If MIR. James G. Blaine ever had any pros
pect of becoming the nominee of the Repub-
ican party for President in $780,. he will
most efectually destroy all such probabilities
if he persists in his present course in MAX
ing enemies among the prominent men of
his own party. His recent assault upon
Massachusetts was in exceeding bad taste,
but not more so than his sheer at Secretary
Schurz because of his foreign birth. Mr.,
Blaine not only publicly insulted cabinet
officer who is certainly the peer of the Sena-
tor from Maine in all the characteristics Of
wel-bred gentleman, but Mr.. Schurz is
the representative of powerful and intelli-
gent body of adopted citizens who have al
ways been mighty factor in the Republican
party of the West. When Mr.. Blaine is in
want of votes in the next nominating con-
vention, as he was sorely in need of them at
Cincinnati, he will not be likely to taunt any
of the delegates with having been born in
Prussia.

FSioux Falls Pantaoranh.

Sioux Falls Paragraph.
The Worthington d Sioux Falls railroad
is now completed and in operation to Beaver
Greek, twenty two miles east Of Sioux Falls.
The citizens have secured the right of way
to the Minnesota State line, the contracts
have been let and work commenced to ex-
tend the road from its present TERMINUS to
Sioux Falls. By the first of September, and
probably sooner, the rumble of the cars will
mingle with the roar of the falls, and the
whistle of the locomotive will resound far
and wide over the surrounding hills and
plains.
The celebrated falls of the Sioux consists
of a succession of rapids, cascades and falls,
the highest fall being about twenty-five feet.
From the top to the foot of the falls the dis
lance is about half mile, and the fall in the
stream is one hundred and ten feet. The
capacity of the water power furnished by
these falls we will not undertake to compute.
It is sufficient to say that the power is ample
for all imaginable emergencies. It is the
best and easiest improved water power we
have ever seen. Thus far the power has
been utilized in but two places at the head
and foot of the falls.

An Astor Dying a Beggar.

cambridge, Penn, Era.
Forty or forty-fve years ago cambridge
was the scene of tragic event. woman
named Fesaler, who was addicted to drinking,
and who kept her bottle in barrel of tow.
went one evening with lighted candle to
get her usual evening dram, when, by some
accident, the candle came into too close con-
tact with the tow, and the tow caught fire
first, then the clothing of the unfortunate
woman was lgnited, and she was burned so
badly that death ensued. That woman was
sister of John Jacob Astor, the New York
millionaire.
Yorick Sherer, father of John Sherer, who
recently died in cambridge, was acquainted
with the family in Germany, and on one oc-
casion, some years before Mrs. Fessler's
death, was sent by his employer, John Hal
deman, to New York, to acquaint John Jacob
with the circumstances of his sister. On ar
irving at New York Che travelled on foot) he
at once proceeded to the millionaire and
claimed recognition, but the rich man
knew him not, and he returned without
any encouragement for the poor woman.
Some time afterward a remittance of $50
came to Henry Haldeman, by whom it was
paid to the woman. This remittance was
continued for several years, but finally
ceased. When the woman died there
were two children one boy and one
girl The girl was taken to New York to be
educated at Astor's expense, but she became
homesick and did not remain there long.
The boy was simple mided, and years after
the death of Mrs. Fessler, a wandering
in mind-lived whole summer under the
roots OF an overturned tree along the river
bank near Locust Grove, and died there and
was buried along the shore of the river, about
midway between Locust Grove and Halde-
mans lime kiln. At the time of his death
many supposed him to be the son of Mrs.
Fessler. The bones of the woman now lie in
an old graveyard near cambridge.
