 While at Dover last Thursday your cores spondent was led to speak of the good will and sociability of Pope coun- tvs citizens.

They were c-s.
 Notwithstanding the late warm show CTS and sun shine have much improved the crop prospect, the outlook is still a gloomy one indeed in this portion. of the county. r.s

Center Valley.

Ed. DEMOCRAT: l feel like 1 want the people to know what we think of Edu- cation. am sorry to say that live in a community that will manifest such in- terest against tlte education of our ehil- dren. Our school distI jet, Center Val Iley No. 23, has been organized nearly seven years, and during all that time we have had from three to four months public school each year; also two years Of that time we voted one-fourth of one per cent, for building purposes for which we have one of the most com fort able country school buildings in Pope county, so said by those who knew best, beautifully located, with plenty of wa ter, and everything that constitutes q pleasant and beautiful place for school. NOW, With all these advantages and no debts to settle, one would naturally suppose that We were on the high road to prosperity as far as education is con- cerhed; but after all these brilliant prospects, men who are ''ruined by heavy school-tax, amounting in some cases to less than THIRTEEN cents, and paid by man of whom you gave an &C., count ill your last issue, will come up to the annual school meeting and vote against tax. At our last meeting, on
 
 trlet, six voted for special tax, fifteen against taX-ona refusing to vote in any way.
 The electors present voted for q sum mer school, but never decided whether this summer or some other summer. They were so elated over their success Of voting down q tax that they forgot everything else, and left the meeting without any formal adjournment of the same, and we, the directors, are still holding the meeting open in a kind of transltory form, hoping the gentlemen will call around and make their wants more definitely known and then ad- jonrn. We'll, after being left alone for time, gathered up the records, and we, the directors, with sorrowful hearts, began to steer our courses homeward and convey to the infant minds oi our children the fact that we were in favor of ignorance instead of education.
 Every year more thoroughly convinc- es me, and ought to convince all liberal minued men, that our present school law IS wroEg, as far as the matter of leVylng tax is concerned and we appeal to our legislators to use their influence to better this condition of affairs, by en- acting uniform tax law upon all; compelling us to pay at least i've mills special tax for school purposes. The candidate for representative who will advocate such a law as this will get my support regardless of his political views or affiliations, and vice versa.
 May She dispenser of light and truth, through some way known only to him self. convince these people, who are de- prlving their children of the privileges or schools and consequently of becom- ing men aud women prepared for the dusies ofllfe, that they know not what they do. Yours for education,

CHICAGO, Sept. "a new method of
trading at the Stock Exchange went into
effect on the 1st inst, and already no.
ticeable increase of business has taken
place. Under the new rule the first call.
which is for the purpose of making official
quotations of local stocks and bonds and
railway shares; takes place at 1890 a. II.
The second CALL which is for railway shares
for future delivery, takes place at II o'clock,
or at the conclusion of the first call, and
the third and last call at 2:30 p. IN. for
railway shares for future delivery. The
principal increase in the business of the
exchange has taken pllce in the trading
for future delivery. By this method of
trading, stock may be bought and sold for
delivery during the month, and during the
succeeding month, and it is confidently ex-
pected that this will supply want long
felt by the commission brokers, who, under
this arrangement, will be able to buy or
sell stocks and make their settlements but
once or twice during the month, avoiding
thereby the daily clearing of stocks.

CHICAGO. Sept. 3.-The action of the
Exchange atits last meeting to strike out
the item of Norway fencing, will be fol-
lowed by alEthe dealers. The excuse for
emitting it was that the demand for it is
heavy and that many customers prefer it
to white pine. That it makes good fence
as white pine is questionable, but the
quality being equal, it is worth from fifty
to seventy-fve cents less per M. when long
transportation is taken into consideration
Long timbers, 6x8, Sx10, etc.,
have been the slowest during the
last month of any commodity offered at
the dock, largely because many of the car
goes run too heavily to one size, and while
a reasonable quantity of one size is desira-
BILE in any yard, steady diet of that one
and no other is not relished. Manufac-
turers would find it to their interest to
make larger assortment of sizes than
has recently been shown in cargoes offered
at the market.

The OscSf0nn0 Cornet Band.

Who have for the past three years play
ed for the State Agricultural Society, de-
serve more than the brief notices which the
GLOBE has heretofore given them.
Outside of st. Paul and Midnea polls
there is no similar organization in the state
that can possibly compare with them in ex-
cellence. They are young gentlemen whose
love of music as an art has led them to as
sociate themselves together. rather than
any hope of pecuniary benefit. They are
from some of the first families of Ovation
ma, and are each and all of them gentle
men in their tastes and habits, and whose
department has always been unimpeach-
able. They have achieved their present
remarkable degree of perfection and ex-
cellence in orchestral and band music by
interchangeable industry and perseverance.
Their persons is that of men of perfecl
physique and commanding presence.
They number thirteen men. are finely
uniformed and are a splendid advertise
ment of their beautiful city of Owatonna
wherever they appear. W. Fl. Holden,
leader, is a modest, unassuming gentle
man who enjoys the most complete conf
dence not only of the members but of all
with whom he associates.
During the fair they very appropriately
open the day with some of their choicest
selections in front of the GLOBE Office.
The excessive modesty of the representa-
tive of that daily upon the fair grounds,
prevents more extended notice of their
daily appreciation of the merits of the
paper itself, but feeling that the GLOBE
has merited the distinction it thus enjoys,
he passes to more commonplace subjects.
pausing only to remark that the Owatonna
band is fully appreciated by all visitors to
the state fair.

New YORK, Sept. 3.-An experimental
train of twenty palace stock cars reached
Jersey City yesterday, bringing 361 head
of cattle. The train left Chicago on We'd
nesday, making the trip in fifty -four hours.
The usual time consumed by cattle train
is 100 hours. The cars are divided into
four compartments, each capable of hold
ing four or five steers, giving the animals
chance to lie down and rest. The feed
boxes are on the roof and connected by
chute with the feeding trough which runs
along the side of the car. The troughs are
reversible, and when not in use can be
turned upside down to avoid the accumu-
lation of dirt. A water pipe runs. the en-
tire length of the train, and the animals
can all be watered at once. The gentle
man who accompanied theitrain said that
the cars had answered every purpose ex-
pected of them. The cattle, barring lit
tie stiffness from want of exercise, were
sound and not bruised and battered. They
were exceptionally fine steers. A compar-
ison of weight showed that they lost on an
average twenty-four pounds of flesh,
against the estimated average of sixty
pounds on cattle brought here by the Or
binary method.

EARNING AN E.TATE.
Female Col. Sellers. Who Ia Waiting
Vainly for a Long Lost Patrimony.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-The story of the old
Anneke Jams Bogardus estate, claimed to
be held unlawfully by the Trinity church
corportion, of New York, is mot a new
one, but local interest is attached, from the
fact that one of the heirs and litigants-at-
law, Mrs. Z. Il. Wallace, is residing in the
city, at No. 1,17O Fulton street, and is
patiently awaiting the action of her lawyers,
into whose hands her claim has been placed.
Mrs Wallace is a middle-aged woman, tall
and slender, whose face bears traces of
care, anxiety and long waiting for the full
tillment of project that has become a
part of her life. Through all the weary
years of disappointment and un-
certainty she has borne bravely up
and never for a moment doubted but
that her cherished scheme, that has been
handed down from generation to genera
| ton, would at last mature into tangibility,
and that she after the long-fought strug-
gle would count her wealth by the millions.
In conversation Mrs. Wallace reminds
one of Col. Mulberry Sellers, whose vivid
Imagination carries himsinto -the golden
fields of luxuriant wealth, while discours-
ing of the bonanza to Sbe obtained from
| the sale of his Oriental eye water.
To a reporter Mrs Wallace exhibited
| bewildering conglomeration of legal docu-
ments, some of which were torn and yell
low with age, while others have the fresh
| ness of recent times. There were papers and
papers-mortgages deeds, petitions and
transfers enough Ito set in whirl the
brains of the most expert manipulators of
the law. Anneke Jams Bogardus, from
whom the estate takes its name, was one of
three sisters of King William Weber, of
Holland, who made grant ofsilands in
America to the fifth generation, covering
$4,000 acres of land, ,ssthe most valuable of
which was in New. York: city, situated in
what is now the Eighth and Ninth wards,
including st. Johns park and six houses
and lots opposite, valued to-day at $780,

HANNIBAL 4 ST. JOE.
A Controlling Interest Purchased bv jay
0Ould-Efieot on the Southwest Pool.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 3.-The report from
Jay Gould and friends have bought a con-
trolling interest in the Hannibal & st.
Joe railroad, and that that line was to be
incorporated in the Wabash system, caused
considerable comment in railroad circles
to-day, and various opinions were ex-
pressed by different officials, some re-
garding it as stock jobbing operation,
while others considered it a legitimate
transaction and one calculated to be of
great value to the Wabash system.
John G. Gault, vice president of the
Wabash road, in an interview, said he had
received no information regarding the re-
ported transaction. He did not, however,
regard it as improbable. The Hannibal &
st. 10 people have been anxious to sell and
the road had been examined by represent
atives of Mr.. Gould.g Its connections are
important, being Kansas City and st. 10
on the west and Hannibal and Quincy on
the east, with some lateral feeders. If so
designed it will fit in very well with the
Wabash system and will be serious loss
to the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, as
that system reaches St. 10 and Kansas
City over the Hannibal & st. Joe.
In reply to question Mr.. Gault said
that the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy ar
rangement with the Hannibal & ST. DO
was made last season, but advanced no
opinion as to whether it would be con-
tinued. The Chicago, Rock Island & Pa
cifc reaches Kansas over portion of the
Hannibal & st. 10, but the arrangement is
such that it will hardly be disturbed. The
transaction will have an important bearing
on the Southwestern Railway association
in this way. The Hannibal & st. 10
counts as one line in the pool,
and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy,
using the same route, counts as
another. With the Hannibal d ST. Joseph
transferred to the Wabash and the Chi
cago, Burlington d Quincy arrangement
abrogated, there will be material changes
in the division of business The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy, if deprived of its
Hannibal st. Joseph connection, will
still have Missouri river connections, but
they will not be so direct, as its Denver
route is by the Burlington & Missouri and
will not be affected materially
