A man named Otto Montgomery, of
st. Paul, attempted to commit suicide
Tuesday morning, but the ball glanced
on the skull and was not necessarily
fatal. Towards evening of the same
day, one of his sons, who was attend
ing him, approached the bedside with
a lamp, but tainted and fell on the bed,
the lamp exploding. The boys clothes
and also the bed-clothes caught fire,
and before assistance could be procured
the would be suicide was burned to
death. The son rushed into the street
with his clothing on fire, and was ter
ribly and it Is thought fatally burned.

A communication in these columns
last week, over the signature Of can
other Voter" has called forth good
many indignant remarks, and been the
subject Of considerable comment
amongst the Scandinavians. There
are few points upon which we wish
to speak. In the first place, some
parties contend that we had no right
to publish such communication, un-
less over the signature of the writer.
Then again, it was limited by some
that the article was written in this Of
fee. and by the editor! 1t was also
urged that the article was an insult to
the whole Scandinavian nation. We
would say to those who question
our right to publish the article
referred to: that. while we have
great respect for their opinion; this Ia
a matter in which they must permit us
to be the Judge. That tho article was
written in this Office, we emphatically
deny, and would have those who made
or make such assertions or insinuations,
distinctly understand that we intend to
say just what We please and when we
choose, and never have, nor never will
take refuge behind a fictitious signature
to do so, and when we do have oeca.
sion to say any thing, we are going tc
'speak right out in meeting" and are
fully prepared to prove our assertion
or abide the consequences. As to thu
the article containing an insult to tn,
Scandinavian nation, we don't admit
for these reasons: The cry Of ''na
tionality" was raised In this district
and the fact that Brown and Barsnes
were Scandinavians was urged in thei
behalf. We have personal knowledg
Of what was done in Stevens, have doc
umentary proof of what was done 4
Grant, and have been told by respona
ible and reliable parties. what wa
done in Pope and Big Stone, and be

Minneapolitans, are again agitating
the public park question. 1t has al
ways been matter of surprise to visit
ing strangers, that, in city possessing
so many natural attractions, so many
eligible and desirable locations, whose
citizens are, and always have been, SO
united and earnest in advocating and
promoting, the interests and welfare OF
their beautiful and prosperous city; no
provisions have ever been made for se-
lecting the grounds, for a public park.
1t looks a. if penny wise and pound

of postponing such . desirable and ben

Wheat is moving very freely, al
though the prices are disastrously low.
There Is quite large amount being
held, farmers declining to sell al pres
ent prices, and prefsring to hold and
pay storage in anticipation Of a raise
in price. The merchants are crowd
ing and urging the farmers to meet
their notes and pay their accounts, but
as good sized load Of wheat, say fifty
bushels, only realizes about $25, it can
readily be seen that very small sum
is realized. and after provisions are
bought, but small amount, hardly
enough to pay interest, TO say nothing
Of paying the principle, is left. Yei
merchants and others have waited nov
three years for their money, and 1t i
not to be wondered they are anxious tc
get the accounts balanced.

love TO attend market IN a clear, cold j.,
crisp atmosphere, had their desire S
graliii-d this morning, and though the
vendors OF poultry and other produce
had to stand first ON one foot, and then
ON the other, and at times thresh the
air with their arms, they were reward.
ed with good prices for the marketing.
Turkeys were plenty in the morning
but disappeared rapidly, nobody de-
siring 10 stand long upon an odd dime.
The prices ranged from IA to l6 cents a
pound, with geese, ducks and chickens
about two cents pound lower. Celery,
almost inseparabe from roast turkey,
also brought good prices. In all prob
ability there have been more Christ
mas trees sold than ever before on a
Christmas occasion.
During the week Fourth, Fifth and
Sixth streets had somewh hat the appear
ance of forests of evergreens, which In
dicated a superabundance Of trees and
'ow prices, but to the surprise of pur-
chasers this morning, there was scar
city of trees in market, and the prices
ruled high. Christmas tree merchants
tell us that there were never so many
sold In market before. This is an in.
dication that people are determined to
have things cheerful at home, and
while so many trees are bought, the
merchants will reap the benefit of sell
