By Little Sharp Practice He Secures
Money Belonging to His Wife and Re-
tires.
A little piece of rascality came to light
yesterday, which lets few rays of light
in upon the depravity of the human
heart, especially the masculine heart. A
desperate effort has been made to keep
the facts from the public, and it has been
difficult to obtain those to be found be-
low. These are not quite as full as de-
sirable, still the main facts of the story
and known and read about as follows:
For some years a man named Wilson
resided with his wife on farm up the
country. For years the two had strug-
gled to get a living off the farm, and by
making many short turns and going
without what they could not get, they
managed to live along very comfortably,
in their quiet little country home. Coun-
try life, however, had not the charms
for them that it has for many
and the rural life of a
farm did not after all satisfy the era
wings of Mr.. Wilson. He longed for the
glitter and glare, the hustle and wicked
ness of city life. He therefore persuaded
his wife, or each persuaded the other to
sell out the farm, which belonged to the
wife, for $1,000, and come to St. Paul
with a view of engaging in some kind of
business that would be remuerative and
pleasant, and such as would
have a tendency to give them an
opportunity to be among people. The
kind of business they lighted upon as
being most likely to meet these require
ments was that of keeping boarding
house. If there is anything in the wide
world that meets all these requirements
it is that. If there is a pleasant business
it is keeping boarders. If there is a bust
ness with big money in it is keeping
boarders This is the kind of financial
merchandising they determined to
embark in For this purpose they
commenced negotiations with Mr.. Win
ston, who keeps boarding house in the
second house on the southwest corner of
Jackson and Tenth streets. The negotia-
tons proceeded to point where they de-
sired to transfer the insurance policies.
1t seems that as the farm belonged to
the wife she kept the money in
her possession. While they were
thus negotiating about the pol
icies her husband, in some way,
gots possession of the $1,000, and then
made some excuse to go into an adjoining
room. From that time to this he has not
been seen by the ''parties of the second
part" He seems to have got away pretty
etfectually for, Notwithstanding all the
efforts of the police of st. Paul, one
member of whom was sent to Sioux
City after him, the where
abouts of this Wilson has not been
discovered. His wife is left in st. Paul.
and is still stopping at the boarding house
on the corner of Tenth and jackson
streets, penniless and husbandless. 1t is
sad case of selfish, heartless desert,on.
which will cause any one familiar with
the facts to wish the husband could be
punished as he deserves.

of Hon. j. B. Hubbel, as Culbertson & Hub.
bel, as contractors and freigh.ers, tie
distinguishing mark of the firm
being "Circle c." The firm have now some.
thing over one hundred teams in their service,
which Mr.. Culbertson informed the reporter
yesterday it was their intention TO withdraw
from their present engagements and concen-
trate upon a fast freight and stage line between
Miles City and the Warren springs, or McGin-
MIS- mines, said to be by far the richest vet
discovered in the territory. The mines are
about 146 miles from Miles city, via which is
the most direct, shortest and accessible route.
Reports received by Mr.. Culhertson from his
partner in Miles City is to the effect that hun.
dreds OF miners and prospectors are arriving
there daily and leaving for the mines as rap
IDLY as their preparations can be made
Though not definitely decided as yet, it is
probable that Culbertson & Hubbel will also
put in stock of goods at some point in the
new mining region. At present Maidensville
is the leading camp, and 1t had few DAYS
since not less than dozen saloons, four
stores, three restaurants, q bakery, blacksmith
shop, barber shop, livery stable, etc. ASSAYS
OF the ore OF different mines opened were all
the way from $500 to upwards of 5000.
Gold and silver exist in the same ore, though
the latter largely sredominates. Parties can
secure their outfits in Miles City, but as
rule IL is safer for parties coming from the
East and passing through st. Paul TO make
such purchases here,

Life insurance cannot be too conservative.
Misfortunes do not befall policy holders from
excess of prudence in company management.
The Connecticut Mutual has always been
mindful of this truth, and carefully kept on
| the safe side. This course, unfinchingly pur-
sued, has given it the eminent stand it takes
among the lie insurance companies or the
world. 1t aims at actual mot apparent, safety
| to policy holders. In the opinion of its ex
tremely conservative and able head the
time has now come to insure its insur-
ance little more strongly if possible. The Con-
necticut Mutual has, therefore, wisely deter
mined with regard to future policies, to CON-
puie net premiums and reserves ON the as
sumption of earning per cent. interest on
the best long investments, instead of per
cent, which will continue the basis of bust
ness now existing. This is taking time by
the forelock, but none too soon. The advan-
tages to the policy holder are obvious The
company will spare no skill or pains to earn
over Der cent. on its money, and everything
above that will go to the policy holder as sur
plus. This is not the only discreet change
American Experience table of mortality will
be used of the English table as the basis
Of calculation. The American table is SO far
above the mortality actually occurring as to
increase the measure of safety for the future
thus attaining, in another way, the object
constantly sought by this company. The
annual premium life policies will be, on the
average, something less than those hereto
fore charged. The company makes other
improvements, and offers other inducements
to persons in quest of sound life insurance.
The modified plan of endowment policies is
very liberal and satisfactory. To allinquiriDg
minds we commend careful perusal of the
advertised announcement of the company's
new propositions. It's well weighed and clear

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK

The effort of Republican leaders to
build up an opposition party to the De-
mocracy in the States of the South by
utilizing the worst political elements of
that section of the country and strik-
ing at the source of its business prosper
ity by repudiating the obligations of con-
tract existing between the State
and their creditors, has reacted
against their party to such an extent in
the great States of the North as to leave
little room for doubt that in their efforts
to prolong the life of their party, with
out reference to the means employed in
accomplishing their purpose, they
have lost control of the hereto
fores Republican strong-holds of the
North without making perceptible
Roadway in the States of the South. 1t
has been perfectly plain to ever casual
observer of passing events, that since
the death of President Garfield the pol
icy of the Republican party in the South
has been radically changed, and changed
for the worse, The disinteragtion of the
dominant party in the South can never be
effected through the use of public patron
age. This fact, so early recognized in the
administrations of Hayes and Garfield,
has been ignored by the present admin
istration with the same stolid indiffer-
ence which characterized the Grant ad-
ministratlon in forcing carpet-bag and
bayonet rule on the people of that
section.
Home rule under Republican aus
pices in the South may be briefly
stated to have commenced under
Hayes and ended with Garfield. All
All hope of honest and economical local
government il the states of the South,
wherever the Federal power could be
welded successfully, went out with the
life of Guiteau's victim. Had the execu-
tive of the popular choice in 1880 been
saved to the nation for the constitutional
term for which he was chosen, Mahonism
and other kindred evils warmed into life
by the present administration,
would have been ground
into atoms between the upper and neither
burrs of public sentiment.
The policy essential to a change in the
political relations of the South with the
general government-and in many re-
spects desirable change must be
based on the practical application of the
underlying principles of state economy in
their relation to the varied interests of
that section, rather than on
the claims and exlgencles of political
organizations. The lessons of the recon
structlon period, when the animosities
engendered by the black and white

Sixteen wears AGO the Turf. Field and Far

Sixteen years ago the Turf, Field and Farm
located its Offices at 81 Park Row, New York.
The rooms at once became a favorite resort,
and thousands of distinguished men, fond of
breeding and sport, left their footprints upon
the stairs. The journal echoed the best
thoughts of these men, and it became power
in the land. 1t made popular and respectable
the literature of sport. It excluded from its
pages everything that was not elevated and
manly. Its circulation rapidly spread until it
covered every State aud Territory in the Union.
The terrific fire on the 3lst of January last
wiped out the Offices, together with the great
library and picture gallery OF the Turf, Field
and Farm, aud since then the paper has oc
cupied temporary quarters at 30 Vesey street.
The journal, however, has been issued with
the greatest prOmp.ness, and the quality of
the matter seems TO have improved. The
courage with which the publishers faced ad.
versity has been warmly commenced, and the
circulation is larger than ever. New and
handsome Offices have been secured in the
Times building, SO and fl Park Row, for the
Turf, Field and Farm; and as every member
of the staff feels ct home in that locality, we
may look for him to do good work, and we
may expect to see the paper made even better
than it is, if such a thing is possible. The
spirit shown by the Turf, Field and Farm
during February and March is of the fire.

journal with perfect organization and proud

Deeply in Debt.

INDIANAPOLIS, April III. B. Hurlbut,
trustee of thesecond and third mortgages
of the Indianapolis s. st. Louis Railway
company, this afternoon filed bill in the
United States Circuit Court for the fore
closure of these mortgages and the sale
of the road; also asking for the appoint
ment of receiver pending the litigation.
The second mortgage calls for 81 600, 900,
dated Oct. l, 1871, the bonds running for
thirty-one years, but by reason Of a fail
ure to pay the interest they have all be-
come due. The third mortgage is for
$500, 900, the principal Of which becomes
due July l, 1881.
The bonds held by Charles O'Connor
are the second mortgage bonds, and this
action has been fastened by the demand
of Charles O'Cennor that the principal
and interest of his bonds shall be paid in
full at time when the road is embarrassed
by a large floating debt and the earnings
insufficient to pay the running expenses.
Back of thesecond and third is first
mortgage of 81, 100000. The foreclosure
is subject to the mortgage. The case is
being heard by Judge Gresham at Evans
vile, and a decision Is expected Monday.

leagues made life and property insecure
and all government sham, are yet too
fresh In the memory of those who rep
resent the intelligence and property of
that section to permit relapse of those
states back to that social and policital
condition which was so long fatal to their
political, industrial and commercial
advancement The destruction of the
peculiar institution of the South-so long
fatal to its material advancement-will
enable her representatives to direct their
attention and energies to new and vastly
more profitable fields of thought and en-
terprise than the propagation and extern
ton of slavery. Mason and Dlxon's line
will no longer circumscribe the vision
of her statesmen. The South of
the future will be dominated in
the interest of cotton, the trip hammer,
spindle and furnace. Jeffersonian Dem
ocracy, crystalized into that beautiful
form of MIR. Lincoln's happiest style, "a
government of the people, by the people
and for thel people," will be revived IN
furtherance of the right of local self gov
eminent and the development and pro-
lection of the resources and industrial
and cognate interests that are to make the
South of the future rival in wealth and
splendor the Empires of the East.
The probability, or even possibility Of
the South presenting an inviting ant
profitable field for tentative politica
schemes having in view the bolstering W
of the waning fortunes of the presen
administration, is, to say the least
decidedly problematlcal at thu
present time. The influences tina
are at work in the North are also at worl
