stitution and bylaws to bereported at tho an
nusl meeting, in August:
Messrs. Adams, st. Paul; Graves, Duluth;
Barden, st. Paul.

NO HALF-BUsHEI IN oUR'N.
The question was put with tremendous
rapidity-
'.Do you intend to use the half-bushel meas
ure?"
Mr.. Barden wouldn't use it.
Mr.. Pratt hadn't determined.
Mr.. Boyden didn't approve of 1t.
Mr.. Cargill would ignore it every time.
Mr.. Fairbank did not believe in it.
Mr.. Gilbert had an idea that the farmer
could be brought over to general use of the
brass kettle with Stacy filler.
Mr.. G. n. Chadbourne picked up the GLOBE
and read the law upon the matter.
All-"Wcll, that says nothing ab tut brass
sealed half-bushel measure. We can use
wooden one just as well"
THE Law FOR IT.
After the law was read, section by section, it
was unanimously but informally concluded
that the use of the half-bushel measure could
not be enforced.
President Van Dusen remarked that Mr..
Fairbank, who was member of the legisla-
ture, said brass half bushel was required by
law. The legislature did pass such a law.
Col (alleged) Graves-Undoubtedly 30, if he
tried to get it through.
Mr.. Adams to Col. {alleged) Graves, in a
whisper-He's not the scale man.
Col (alleged) Graves blushed and stepped
over with q timid apology to Mr.. D. O. Fair
bank, Senator from Dodge Centre.
(Bless you my children bless youp')
Mr.. Adams moved to adjourn.
President Van Dusen hoped an adjournment
would not take place until something definite
was determined upon. He hoped something
would be reached conclusive in it's nature, and
that the wheat buyers and warehousemen pres
ent would pledge themselves to stand by it.
Mr.. Van Dusen requested all warehousemen
to remain after adjournment for consultation.
The motion to adjourn was then put and
carried.

Gated by partial returns last night. is fully

quirer.I
Perhaps the most interesting topic of con-
versation in this city to-day was the shoot.
ing affray which occurred yesterday morning
at the Coleman house. The peculiar feature
of it was the mystery surrounding the
identity of the would be assassin, who was
positively asserted by several parties to have
been Marion Ward, the actress. bot who now
Turns out to be ''Birdie Beli,'' alias Mrs.
Barrett. She formerly kept house of ILL
repute. but now lives in private apartments,
and was for two years the mistress of
Nathan, whom she shot yesterday.
1t is we'll known that Nathan has led for
several years past fast and reckless life,
and has gone through many little mills on
account of his female associations, fond of
and Leading similar life. The present
trouble arose out of q jealous feeling on the
part OF the woman, it being understood by
her that he was anxious to marry Miss
Harrison, the actress, who was known to be
stopping at the Coleman house.
1t appears that recently Nathan and "Bir-
die" have had few titfs, and conse quently
matters did not sail smoothly. One reason
alleged for transferring his affections is that
well-known ex-judge of the supreme court,
distinguished for his personal attractions,
and an intimate friend of the late Jim Fisk,
had also become enamored with Mrs. Bar
rett. Ascertaining that Nathan was in the
habit of meeting Miss Harrison in her pri-
vate room at the Coleman house, she deter
mined to lay in wait for him, and thus &C..
cured room, saying that she came from
Philadelphia accompanied by her maid.
linen the shooting took place.
Nathan was confined to his house all dsv.
and naturally denied himself to all callers.
1t was ascertained that, though the wound
IN his neck is a decidedly ugly one, there
will be little danger unless erysipelas sets IN.
He Is terribly agrined over the affair, as it
exposes his character to the public fully, and
ne was one of those 'nice young men, you
know, who do hold their heads so high.''
MISS Harrison Immediately after ths
shooting took train for Boston, where she
began an engagement on Monday night with
otetson. Before her departure she stated
that she made the acquaintance of Mr.. Ma
than several years ago, before going to Cali
fOrnla that, in common with various &C.
guaintances, he had made several formal
calls on her at the hotel, and that he called
yesterday to bid her goodbye. She says he
was sitting on chair, with his overcoat on
his arm, when "Birdie'' rushed into the
room and banged away. She says that
"Blrd'e's' statement that she Miss Harli-
SOM IS the cause of the trouble is preposter-
GUS.
Birdie Bell has mysteriously disappeared,
and nobody has the slightest inkling as to
her whereabouts. It is understood that Ma
than has refused to make complaint against
her, 80 that even if she were found she
would not be arrested.

The Warehotssenne,s en-.

After the adjournment Of the meeting, the
warehousemen got together informally, Messls.
Van Dusen. Barden, Pratt, Sterrett, Boyden,
Cargill and others formed the party. They
resolved upon nothing IN a formal way, but
discussed at great length the question of
using 1.-THE sealed half bushel measure" in
receiving and storing grain. The unanimous
verdict was not to use it. AL agreed to go
right along, just as they were doing. and not
mind the requirement to use the measure. If
any farmer wanted it used, he would be denied
the privilege, and if he didn't like it, he could
go elewhere with his wheat. 1t was remarked
that by an act of the legislature in 1869, an
iron half bushel measure and scales were re-
quired. But who of the party had them in the
warehouse. To this pointed question, only
Mr.. Pratt replied in the affirmative. That old
law had been ignored, and there was no reason
why this one couldn't be lodged in the same
way. Such seemed to be the idea or hope gen
orally entertained. At any rate this was just
about what was agreed to in q good-natured
unanimous way by the warehousemen.
