neapolis made some lucky option deals in
wheat, made $4,000 or $4,000, resigned
his position on the railroad and married girl

love came to the rescue, and when the oppor-
tunity offered she sacrificed her little savings
and paid the sum and bought her husba, DIS
freedom. But one escape did not bring him
back to reason, and the divorce papers 90 on to
say that he plundered his wife of her iewelry,
valued at $500, and deserted and neglected
her: The instance is only one of dozen more
of the utter financial wreck and of frequent
moral destruction which are we'll known in
Minneapolis and which followed the indulgence
in dealing in options.

that already more than $500, 600 in claims
have been filed. The time for filing does not
expire until December 4th, but it is his belief
that all the claims are in or nearly 3d. OF the
