An elderly German woman from Long
Lake was in this city yesterday looking for
man-an American man, she called him.
This American man had visited her at her
home in the rural districts, and impressed
her to that degree that she consented to
close up her agricultural business and come
to Minneapolis as the wife of this deceiving
American man. Preliminary to the matri-
monial venture the lady packed up her
household goods, and placing them in
charge of this gay deceiver, they were brought
to this city-or she thinks they were. The
American man promised, and agreed to
bring the household goods to Minneapolis,
rent domicile, stock it with the household
goods, lay in plentiful store of provisions
for the winter, light fire in the cooking
stove, and send for her when all was COM
Portable. The lady waited, while the weather
grew cold. She waited, until the unhappy
thought began to dawn in her mind
q gay and hoartless deceiyer,
and then she took the next train and came
to town. Yesterday the police were engaged
in looking for the American man, to discover,
if possible, not SO much what had become of
the man himself, but whittier, oh, whittier
had flown the full supply of domestic uten-
sils which he had taken from the unsuspect-
ing widow.
At last accounts there had bssn nothing
definite ascertained as to the
whereabouts of this American man
or either the Widows household goods. And
now the lady is congratulating herself that
she resisted the touching appeals he made to
her to deed to him all her right, title and in

which she stands possessed of in the town of

A meeting was called last evening at the
board of trade rooms for the purpose of
fighting the royalty, which is being collected
from those who have drive wells OH their
property. The meeting was called to order
and Mr.. L. 2. Fiuke, secretary of the
Anti-Drive Well State association,
stated that the association had determined
to fight the parties who were unlawfully col
lecting royalty on drive-welIs throughout the
state. Mr.. Fiuke said that the citizens of
Winona and Lake City had formed associa-
tons and raised $2,50O.OO. Lake City had
come forward with 100000 and Winona
had raised ST. 10000. The object of the
meeting was to form an association to
unite with the other cities and Join the Anti
Drive Well association for the purpose of
putting down this swindle.
Mr.. ii. D. Wood was elected chairman of
the organization, Mr.. Reeves secretary and
II. S. Sidle treasurer.
Remarks were made by II. D. Wood, L. P.
Fluke and others on the subject of drive
wells, and the manner in which tho job was
put-up by Lamprey & James.

draw up a call on the citizens of Minneapo-
lis, to help the association financially in their
efforts to carry the question before the
courts. The committee will be appointed by
the president, and will be announced here

ST. PAUL, Dec. 4.
A return to close, muggy weather and drizzl,
rain has not been favorable to business of any
kind. And yet the receipts of wheat by road
during the past week have very materially in
creased. This is owing, perhaps, in a great
measure to better prices prevailing at this
point. For long time back there has been a
combination among wheat buyers as pernicious,
as Tar as the interests OF the city considered
as it was injurious to the farmer. This ring
had things all Its own way, and could rule the
market at will and hold prices down at it's own
hgures. The consequence was that farmers were
driven to other markets, the outlying districts
offering higher prices than st. Paul. For the
past few days this state of things has been
somewhat broken into. Buyers outside the
appearance had the effect of forcing up the
lower grades &c and Sc, and ultimately all
grades advanced from Sc to &c. At first the
ring buyers were reluctant to advance, and
to secure lots coming in manipulated with
their testers and gave the farmer higher
grade. One instance will show how this was
done. tester man got onto a load of wheat
filled the tester and declared the wheat to be
good No. l, weighing 50 lbs, and offered 75c
Tor 1t; this was because an outside BUYER had
offered 73c; the wheat was really No. @ and
the day before would not have realized Csc.
The new men on the street were getting all the
wheat, and it was necessary to drive them off
by advanced prices, and so the grades went up
according to the class of wheat the outsiders
wanted; So lbs. advanced 7c; 81 lbs. SC; IS lbs.
10c; IS Tbs. &c; 81 lbs. 10c; So lbs. l2c.
It will be seen the greatest advance was made
on the lower grades which were most sought for
by the outside interest. Forcing the market,
however did not drive off the intruders, who
have come to stay, and the ring in consequence
is completely broken and it is hoped never more
to be formed.
Bushes in corn is very slow, receipts con-
tinue liberal and have depressed prices one cent.
and still lower figures may be looked for as
the new crop is more generally marketed. 1t
is not thought that even severe weather will
stiffsn the market any as the crops are heavy
and of the finest quality.
The receipts of oats were very light during
the past week, and the demand is daily grow
ing heavier, especially from the Northern Pa
clio and West Wisconsin DISTRICTS The marx.

comfortably toward home about O'Clock in
the evening. When near his home, at the
corner of Fourteenth Avenue south and
Seventh street, he was assaulted from behind
and knocked down with club in the hands
of fellow who had followed him several
squares. fortunately, Mr.. Cummings was
stunned for only moment, turned and
grappled with his assailant and
sung out right Justify for help.
Assistance soon came in the person of Mr..
C.'s brother, when the fellow fed. The two
continued the chase for distance, but the
highwsyman escaped in the darkness.
1t would be most excellent idea for peo-
pie who go about the streets these dark
nights with money in their pockets. to have
the dollars socially accompanied with re-
volver. Kill one or two robbers and the
practice will cease.

mention of the elaborate preparations being
made in this city for the presentation of the
magnificent scenic opera, the '.Naiad Queen
AS will be seen by advertisement published
elsewhere, the management is about ready
for putting the piece upon the stage, and
next Monday night will be presented at the
Academy of Music this greatest of scenic
operas-an entertainment which has attract
ed more notice from the press and people of
the Eastern cities than any other of a like
character ever put upon the American stage.
Mr.. Arthur Mcknight, the manager, has
been in this city since August, and having
secured the best local talent in the city, has
had about 400 amateurs under constant
training. The finest singers in the city are
employed, as also the best instrumental per-
formers, and neither time, pains, labor or
expense have been spared to make the piece
a success. Let our people be prepared for
one of the most delightful entertainments
ever offered in this city.

regular meeting of the city council was
held at the council chamber last night.
The Minneapolis Eastern railroad asked
permission to cross Second street and Fourth
avenue south, SO as to connect with the c.,
M. d st. p. railroad.
Robt. s. Innes, president of the Lyndale
street railway, asked that the contractor be
compelled to complete the grading on NicoI-
let avenue, or the contract be discontinued
and relet to other contractors. The con-
tractor is Matt Friar. An explanation was
made by Aid. Watt, and the communication
was laid on the table.
The fines from houses of prostitution for
the months of November amounted to the
sum of $362.6O. One half that sum was or
dered paid to the Home. II was
good month for business for the Home.
Bonds to the amount of $4,000 were
issued to take up the same amount. The
bonds to be issued draw per cent Those
which they are to replace draw per cent.

the construction of csterns, was
reported on by the city attorney, that the
said warrant could not be collected as against
the city. The report was ordered filed.
Here occurred a little breeze, Alderman
Snyder, of the Fifth ward, trying to stave
off the payment of Contractor Friars esti-
mate fromS the Fifth ward fund, and Alder
man Watt struggling to secure the payment
of Friar's estimate.
The clerk of the municipal court reported
81, lis collected in fines and fees during
October. Referred.
Over $1,000 was paid for lighting the
streets of Minneapolis during the month of
November.
Aid. Watt asked that a bill for 81 200, for
laying water pipe from the pump house to
the suspension bridge, be excepted from the
budget.
Aid. Watt moved that this bill be referred
to special committee to report at the next
meeting.
The question turned upon the point as to
whether the commissioners had the right to
lay the main from the pump house to the
suspension bridge, or whether it should have
been done by the city council.
The motion to refer to special committee.
was lost.
After good, lively battle, the water com.

There is also good demand for ground feed.
especially in small lots. With the advent of
snow and colder weather the demand will be
heavy. There is, however, sufficient ON hand
to meet all immediate demands, and receipts
continue liberal. The cheapness of corn and
barley unfit for brewing purposes, will insure
feed remaining at low figures. Bran and
