What IS In 1t?

The West Chester Local NeDs of
Saturday published a sensational
story of the death of William r.
Nesbitt. 1t says that he had his life
insured for a large amount and
transferred the policy to a lady with
whom he had resided near Kimble-
vile, Pa.
AS there were suspicious circum-
stances attending his death and
burial, the insurance company pro-
poses to investigate the case. The
Ne,os seems to think that it is an
other Goss- Undertook case.
A box in which was enclosed
casket supposed to contain the body
of Nesbitt arrived in this city on
July 2lst, on the Baltimore mail
south, due here at 1885. From the
p, W. & B. R. r. depot it was
taken to the Delaware Western
depot in one of Seals baggage
wagons. Those who handled the
box say it was very heavy, and that
an odor was emitted resembling that
which would naturally come from a
decayed body.

HOW THE CASH FLOWED INTO THE

During the month of July, just
closed, the receivers of city taxes
took in taxes to the amount of near
ly 100000.
The following table shows the
amount of taxes deposited in bank
each day by the receivers-Mr.
Kyne for the Southern District and
Mr.. Provost for the Northern Dis
trict. These deposits do not show
each days actual receipts, as money
would frequently be received after
bank hours, and placed in the next
days deposit, but they come near
enough to show the rate at which
the taxes were received during the

The employees Of the Boom company while
at work on the logs in the Minneapolis mill
pond, yesterday, discovered Deer bottle
floating about, and out OF curiosity picked it
up. They found it tightly sealed, and OBJ
served that its contents were "extra dry" j..
e., it contained slip Of white paper instead
of beer. The bottle was opened and foun to
contain the following rather startling note,
written in good business hand on small
sheet of paper, evidently torn from pocket
book: =t.3. '. a..

Editor of the Transcript:
We are yet in the land of the living,
though your readers do not hear from
us very often.
Spring, the shy maiden, hangs off,
and what with her bashfulness and
the nature Of the land and weather,
seeding ia our locality is very slow.
there is scarcely any wheat in on the
heavy land.
The Swan River tie drive passed
here last week, and we are Informed
that Mr.. Hamlin expects to have the
ties all in the boom at the mouth of
the river by Thursday night.
Mr. John Work man, Jr., has raised
a new house. Thls looks as if some>
thing else might happen.
The heavy rain on Sunday prevent
ed Rev. j. D. Cook from meeting his
appointment to preach at Culdrum,
but he will preach there on Sunday,
May 10TH, at $3.50 p H., and every
three weeks until the first of February.
Our ieighborhood is quite little
stirred up with law business, and some
of our inhabitants are getting mixed
up with that book known as the Stat
utes of Minnesota. We are of the
opinion that some of them will tighten
their pocket-books before it is over.
The Clyde Bros. have not been do.
ing any saving lately, as they are busy
putting in their crops, but will start
up again some time next week.

Inotice in the last Transcript, under
the heading of !. Cruelty to Animals,''
your editorial comments upon the pro
posed twenty mile race between Miss
Belle Cook, Of California, and Miss EN-,
ma Jewett, Of Litchfeld MINI. The
heading Of your article and the conclud-
ing language ofthc same leads me to be.
lieve that you entirely misapprehend the.
nature or details Of the proposed race.
In riding this race no one, two, or even
three horses on each side are expected to
make the race. Not less than eight or
ten thoroughbred race horses will take
part on each side, SO that no one horse
will have to run more than two heats of
one mile each, which, instead of being
cruelty to animals,'' will make it much
easier for the horses than the ordinary
races in which they are trained to run
where they frequently make heats of from
two to two and three-quarters miles each.
The great hardship of the race comes up
on the riders who are compelled to test
their skill and endurance in this long
ride of twenty miles, making numerous
changes of horses. X, vi. ,s-E.
The managers of this Association
would not for one moment consider any
proposition for entertaining the public:
however profitable it might be, which in
volved any unkindness or cruelty to any
living thing. ~. =

From the St. Paul Globe
One manifest and present tender of adj
vantages, existing and prospective, Is in
the northern lake route. Every carload
Of freight sent or brought that way helps
to strengthen the only possible route of
transportation from which competition
can be expected with the lake Michigan
and so-called Eastern Trunk lines. If
there is ever st. Paul systemsof rail-
roads, thoroughly allied to st. Paul and
its tributary country, the. bases Of that
system will be IN direct connection with
Lake Superior, the north bend of Lake
Michigan and an eastern system of roads
having their western terminus at Sault
ste Marie, And until St. Paul can have
such Eases upon which to found her in
dependence, 1t must be always ready to
fight for itself-for the inlepende of
the lines which do bring trade to it and
give it competition, and for all the ad-
vantages to which 1t is entitled by its po-
sition.
