We are pleased to note the friendly
feeling toward Col. Pfender ii tho
Minnesota valley counties. Republi-
cans and Democrats alike have . good
word to say for him, but it is especial
" gratifying to know that the people
in the counties adjacent to Brown,
where he is best known, are the warm
est in his support for . denomination.
The Marshall Messenger, a staunch Re.
publican journal, says:
The New Ulm Review is urging
the denomination Of state treasurer
Pfender. We know Of no good reason
why he should not be again elected.
His official record has been A No and
he has been a consistent and active Re
publican, two qualifications that merit

Fined for "stinglng Up" n Horse.


In court yesterday the charge of cruelty to
animals was brought against James L. Mayo
by Daniel O'Neil. ONei took the stand and
testified that he saw the defendent fire two
shots at his mare. This testimony was cor
federated by Thomas Welch. Mayo was next
called to the docket, and, after being sworn,
declared that he hud no intention to injure the
animal that the complainants horse and sew
eral others were tresspassng upon his prem
iscs at the time, which they had been acciis
toned to do. Mayo further said that he en-
deavored to frghten the animals off by shouts
and lOurishing his hands This, however,
had no effect; aud AS he happened
to have sporting gun in his hands
at tho time, his wife, who was standing in the
door, told him to sting 'em up little" This
advice was Immediately acted upon, as
proven by his appearance in court yesterday.
The Judge inquired particularly rs TO the ex-
tent of the horses injuries. The counsel for
the defense showed His Honor samples of the
shot used, which proved to be Of the smallest
description, commonly known as mustard"
and also stated that it was almost impossible
for the shot to infict any injury, as the gun
was fired at u distance Of nearly fifty yards.
That the mare was not seriously hurt was evil
dent from the fact that the complainant had
driven her to court on this occasion. The
Judge took lenient view of the case and Inn
posed fine of SO.

Lively stock Opern tiops,

The current of recent events has given great
impetus to business in Wall street, aud many
successful turns are reported where immense
profits are made in short periods. The most
uccessful way that we have heard of yet for
operating in stocks is by the combination
method of Messrs Lawrence & Co.. Bankers,
New York. BY this system thousands of
orders in various sums are pooled into one vast
capital and operated undor the most expert
enced and skillful management thus securing
to each shareholder superior advantages and
profits, not possible in any other way. Profits
are paid at end of 80 days. A gentleman in
Boston made S7i7.30 on an investment of 500.
Many Others are doing as we'll or better. Capt.
tai in any amount from $40 to 100000 can he
used with equal proportionato success by this
Combination or Cooperative Method, $i5 would
make $50, or per cent. on the stock 800
would return 5000, or 0 per cent. during tho
month, and so on, according to the market.
The new circular contains two unerrng rules
for success" and full information, so that any
one can operate with profit. Stocks and bonds
wanted. Deposits received. Government
bonds supplied. Apply to Lawrence Sc Co.,
Bankers, 81 Exchange Place, N. Y. City.

Hundreds of fine opportunities to make excel
lentprots constantly occur In Wall street. If invest
ors can be secure from counteracting movements.
The only safe and certain method is to unite capi-
tai with experience and skill, and operate in stocks
at the time Of fluctuations, without incurrng sud-
den risks in sweeping changes. This can be done
by the Mutual Capitalization system. originated by
the old and reliable banking house of Adams.
Brown Il Co. Customers control their profits, which
are divided pro rata every thirty days. Anybody
can operate successfully by this method. Twenty
five dollars will make SIPS; $50 will $780, 500
will return $780, $500 will yield S2jO0, and on as
the market movements occur. This plan has met
with unparalleled success. New circular "Ruies

investors, mailed free. All kinds of stocks and

Protection In Germany,

Mr. White, our Minister at Berlin, in dis
patch to the Department of State dated July
3, 1879, gives sketch Of debate in the Ger.
man Roichstag on tho question of protection,
The arguments are much tho same on either
side as are used in this country. A proposition
to impose duty on lard of 81 10 per 100 pounds
tended that the number Of pigs in Germany
must be trebed TO produce sufficient amount
of lard-an impossibility. Tho total number of
pigs in Germany Is estimated at 1000 900.
About 5000, 600 are required to produce the lard
imported from America TO Germany. Three.
fourths of the lard used in Germany comes
from America.

fino-looking, well-drcsscd woman, who
had evidently been drinking, applied for
lodgings at the Bayard House, corner of Tenth
aud Il streets, last Thursday evening. Early
yesterday morning she tried to induce waiter
to procure liquor for her but he refused. She
then went out herself, it Is supposed for the
purpose Of obtaining the liquor which she
wanted, and soon returned to her room. When
the chambermaid went to the room, about ten
o'clock, the door was found locked. She
knocked, aud, rs the occupant did not reply,
something wrong was suspected. BY looking
through the transom over tho door the woman
was discovered sitting In chair, with her
head thrown back upon the bed. The door was
forced open, aud tho woman was found TO be
dead. phal half emptied, containing
weak solution of atropia, used rs an eye-wash,
was found in the room and gave rise to the
theory of suicide. A bottle half full of whis-
ky was also found. Coroner Patterson and
DIR. Hartigan made an examination and dc.
cide1 that death was caused by apopexy,
superinduccd by intemperance.
The deceased was identified rs Mrs. Preston,
wife of Passed Assistant Paymaster William
NJ Preston, U. S. n. Mrs. Preston and her hus-
band have not, 1t is stated, lived happily to-
gcther, and recently he entered suit to obtain

habits. Last Sunday night police officer was
summoned to No. 10l1 G. street northwest,
where Mr.. and Mrs. Preston were then stop
ping and found both under the influence of

was Barbara Haines, and she came to this city
with her father, who now lives on l street,
between Thirteenth and Fourteenth, about
eight years ago. She was married to Preston

lice last evening to find Preston for the pur-
pose of turning the body over to him, but he

The Suicide of w. IL. Mead.

Mr.. George Mead, of Baltimore has received
a telegram from his brother at Milllpas, Cali
fornia, giving a description of tho manner in
which William II, Mead was attired whom ho
left California, which corresponds exactly with
the way the body found in Blagdens woods
was dressed. The members of Mead's family
are now thoroughly satisfied with the identif-
cation of the body. When Mead left California
he had with him 500 in coin, and the fact that
when the body was discovered nearly S54 was

Consequently fino exhibition of the beauties
of the game may bo expected. In order to
avoid tho heat as much as possible the time
for beginning tho game has been fixed one
hour later than has been the custom on Sltur-

likely to attend Is tho fact that it is the last
game scheduled to be played hero before the

same two mines that met last Thursday will be
pitted against each other this afternoon.
