Fergus Falls Journal.
For nearly week past most unpleasant ru-
mors have been current in this village involy-
ing the good name and character of Anthony
A. Cowing and his sister-in-]aw, Miss Matte
Colby, whose parents live near Alexandria.
About five weeks ago M. Cowing went to
Perham and Wadena, expecting to make some
chinery, wire, etc. At the latter place he left
his team latter offering it for sale, althoug h
mortgaged), stating that he would be absent
fortnight, and took the cars for St. Cloud,
where he met Mr.. G. A. Freudenreich, whose
sub-agent for machinery he had been in this
county. On the cars at st. Cloud it is believed
that Cowing met Miss Colby, who the same day
left her friends at Alexandria under some pre-
text.
The prolonged absence Of her husband ex-
cited anxiety on the part Of Mrs. Cowing here
at Fergus Falls, but when she learned from
Douglas county of her sisters absence her sus-
picions were fairly aroused, and in great dis
tress of mind she left her children il care of a
servant and repaired in haste to Alexandria,
where we learn that she was utterly Frustrated
for days by her emotions. Mr.. Thomas Cow
ing, of Alexandria, Immediately called the tel
egraph to his aid and wired all principal points
IN the country in search of news of the missing
pair, with no results up to Monday last.
Meantime a correspondence Of views on the
part of his wife, his partner in the machine
business Mr.. A. Brandenburg, of this place.
Capt. Frcndenreich and others, leads to belief
that the escapade, elopement, or whatever it
may prove to be, has been deliberately planned
and that Cowing has taken with him fair
sum of money-perhaps two or three thousand
doliars-mostly his own. Mr. Brandenburg
may lose two three hundred dollars, and the
Mccormick company something more. On
these points we are not particularly in.
formed.
Anthony Cowing, with the large family of
his name, were among the first settlers in
Douglas and Otter Tail counties, where he is
known, and if the general suspicion Of friends
now proves correct, he has brought bitter and
lasting suffering upon numerous and highly
respectable family. His wife, a kind-hearted
woman, who has ever proved good friend to
the 81 * and suffering, is left with two children
to suffer from shame and neglect. Mrs. G.
came up from Alexandria Wednesday, and with
a sad heart is preparing to return to that place
to spend the winter.

to perfect our system of water communica-
ton with the world. 1t is not
to be denied that of late years,
owing to the destruction of the forests
at the headwaters of the river and it's tribu-
taries, the Mississippi has become little
better than any ordinary stream, navigable
to st. Paul for large boats only III the sea-
son of high water. The reservoir system,
however, which is endorsed and recommend
| ed by Gen. Warren, Col Farquahar, and the
present engineer in charge, Maj. Charles j..
Allen, gives promise of relief from such o
is, in brief, the confinement of the waters of
the lakes emptying into the Mississippi until
such time rs they may be needed, when their
release will add to the volume OF water in
the river channel to such an extent as to
give to the commerce of st. Paul its natural
| outlet to the ocean. This will be accom-
plished by the adoption of the recommends
| tons of the officers, before referred to, in
| favor of the reservoir system, which
| will give to St. Paul a minimum depth
of water during the dry season, covering
| about one hundred days, of four feet. This
| condition will exist under the most liberal
| calculations, allowing for evaporation and all
other losses, to the head of Lake Pepin. The
navigation of Lake Pepin is assured. From
that point free navigation will be assured by
means of wing dams, and jetties at the
mouths of streams tributary to the great
river, and by this means we will secure water
sufficient to float feet of barges, each car
! rying ton thousand bushels of grain, from
St. Paul to New Orleans.
This systoIn of reservoirs in operation will
demonstrate the practicability of placing
grain in Liverpool at a less cost than is now
exacted by the pool system of railroads to
New York so far as Minnesota, Iowa and
Wisconsin are concerned. In addition the
numbering interests of the upper Mississippi,
St. Cro;x, Chippewa and Black rivers will be
placed where their amplest resources may be
demanded ard responded to.
| While the surveys of the st. Croix, Chip
pewa and Black rivers have not yet furnish
cd the data necessary to promise very
great auxiliary supply in case of dry seasons,
| they have been sufficient to show that the
more thorough examination now being made
b. the United States engineers will not les
| sen the hopes entertained that Wisconsin
| will furnish the amount of water needed on
| the Mississippi to ensure a good stage OF
water which shall render navigation perfect
| ly safe from St. Paul to the falls of the Des
Moines.
Minnesota will have little to ask of Con
| gress. But it will ask this much: It will
| request the means to save water in time Of
| floods, and pour it out in times of dryness
to maintain forever the modulus of system
which shall return to the producer the high
est consideration for his labor, and settle
| forever the exorbitant demands made upor
it by the modern pool system of the rail
roads that band themselves against com
petition that they may profit at the expense
of tho farmers.

There is the best authority for the state
ment that Secretary Sherman has either de-
cided to recommend in his annual report to
Congress, or has the subject under serious
consideration, the withdrawal and destruc-
ton of all outstanding legal tender circua-
ton, and the repeal of the law passed by the
Forty-third Congress, which compels him to
keep the legal tender circulation at what it
was when the law was passed-in the neigh
borhood of $3.50, 100000. It is claimed that
the comptroller of the currency will make
an earnest recommendation to this end, and
that he has succeeded in Inducing Secretary
Sherman to pursue the same course. The
motive underlying such movement on Sher-
| mans part is that it would add to his
strength practically in New York and Massa-
chusetts, and would bring about an issue in

the front as its especial champion. Itwould,
too, his friends say, take good stock of Bay

would give Sherman the opportunity to claim
that his financial course had been consistent
with his first declarations and utterances up
on the subject Of resumption, which unmis-
takably was that for every dollar in gold paid
out of the treasury its equivalent in green
backs should be destroyed. 1t would also
take away the argument, should he induce
Congress to accept his recommendations,
that the present scheme of resumption was
merely sham, based upon the equalization
in value of greenbacks with gold. Il is
claimed, too, that Sherman, in his phantom
chase for the Presidency, recognizes that in
bloody shirt campaign he might not be
the beneficiary, and that if he can bring to
the front the financial question, as suggest

thunder which, in the other event, would 10

The Minnetonka Lake Park association

the whole affair is veritable humbug. Re-
Gently meeting of the stockholders has
been held in order to consult on the
best means of placing the rickety con-
corn on a solvent basis. The treasurer
presented report on the financial standing
of the association. and an effort was made to
gull the public into taking stock. Among
the expenditures we notice an item of $4,000
for lands, and the assets place unsold lots
at 1884, 500. But real estate must be adyanc-
ing very rapidly in that part, for within
few months land that cost fraction of $5, GOO
is advertised at 1874, 500. But that matter is
easily explained further on. The trustees ere

their bills on basis of fifty cents to the

some enterprise that will pay expenses.

Well and good. If recollection and history

CHIEF OURAY is trying to make the au-

at the bottom of the late uprising

is altogether too gauzy. The Mcrmons may

the absence of motive for melting the
