THE LOGS.

Advices from Eue Claire is to the effect
that two of the largest mills there shut
down on Friday because of running short
of logs. There are $4,000, 600 feet of logs
chung up" on the South Fork of the Flam-
beau river, and unless September rise in
those streams occur the season will be
short. The mill men up there are becom-
ing Respondent.
1t is said that the total of the old and
new logs on Rum river will be 68.O00,0 zoo
feet, of which 100000 come into the
Mississippi, leaving 50,0O0,0OO for saving
at Anoka. Three fourths of the logs have
been turned through and the mill booms
arc full to overlooking.
Thirty nine of the leading logging firms
on the waters of the upper Mississippi,
says the Minneapolis Lstmbernaan, have
joined the new loggers, association, and all
report that they hrve no difficulty in secur-
ing all the men they need upon the contract
terms prescribed by the association. A
few laborers think it great hardship to

HARVEsTERs.

The season of the year has arrived when
the nomadic class of individuals known as
harvesters make themselves manifest in
this great and glorious republic. The
name in some respects is a misnomer. as
while many of the members of that tribe
are honest in their intention to secure
work, others take advantage of the situa-
ton and play such harmless games as
robbing houses, intimidating railroad men,
and other crimes of similar character.
The harvester is not known by the hay
seed which he allows to vegetate in his
ambrasial locks, but he manifests his
preference for agricultural pursuits losfng
around the levees and stealing rides on
steamboats, and trains. The harvesters
are social set of men, as they never
travel alone, but always 60 together in
large crowds. They can cover more
territory in given space of time, and
perform less work than any other class of
men known in the civilized world.

LOST CHILD.

This morning a little girl some three
years old was discovered on the pavement
ON First avenue near the c. B. & O. depot.
The child had evidently strayed away from
its parents, and having become tired of
walking had concluded to go to sleep.
About the time that the nap was concluded
Sidney Pierson came along and not know
ing what to do with the little wanderer, he
took her too the police station, where she
remained during the day, awaiting a
claimant. The child had in her possession
small sized doll carriage, and with this
plaything she amused herself during her
stay at the police headquarters. firing of
the monotony of life at that resort, she
threw herself in the carriage and was soon
lost in sleep. She is a bright little baby,
and is dressed in blue and white plaid dress,
stripped stockings and buttoned shoes.
She was not the possessor of a head cover
ing when found, which permits her jet
black hair to play about her head. At late
hour this afternoon, the child was still at
police headquarters.

Three Rock Island cases known as
Buck" O'Brien, Thomas Hughes and
Thomas Winn, were before Justice Finger,
of Davenport. yesterday afternoon, charged
with robbing an emigrant of some $45 in
money. The evidence was submitted, and
tended to show that the trio is composed
of hard cases. The court held them in
bonds of $500 each to appear before the
next term of the district court. The men
may be rich in experience, but they failed
to have the collateal on hand TO make
good their bail, and in default thereof they
were accommodated at the Scott county
jail, where they will linger until the next
term of court. Two of them were arrested
in this city, and for time refused to be
carried over into Iowa without requisition
from the governor,
