THE CONDUCTORS.

Anothsr Arrest-The Three Plead Not
Guilty and Give Bail.
Fl. C. Brown, another of the railroad
conductors suspected of declaring too
many dividends, without consulting the
officers of the road, was gathered into the
fold upon the arrival Of his train yester-
day morning. He said that the arrest
was not unexpected, and was sent to join
Colgrave and Smith, who were arrested
Thursday night.
At ten O'Clock the three men, j. w.
Colgrave, II. G.. Smith, and Fl. G. Brown
were arraigned before Judge Burr charg-
ed with the embezzlement of funds from
the st. Paul, Minneapolis s. Omaha rail
road company. Mr.. Hollingshead ap-
peared for the defendants who also have
the advice of Senator Castle, Ex-Gover
nor Davis and N. w. Erwin. Pleas of
not guilty were entered and the bail was
fixed at $3.50 in each case. They gave
bonds and were released.

ted.
Already large supplies of coal are being
mined and shipped to points In the east from
manv places along the line between the Mis-
souri, river and the Yellowstone. This coal,
while not equal to the Pennsylvania coal lis used
successfully for cooking and heating purposes,
and the railroad company is using it on it's
locomotives. Ceal appears to underly the
entire country for long distance from the
Missouri westward. 1t can be obtained al
most anywhere without any trouble. Indeed,
the farmer can dig his own fuel on
his own farm. This is an important
consideration, and one which makes the region
SO desirable for settlers. As the cost Of fuel
is an item that enters largely into the calcula.
the manifold advantages offered the
settler by this rich Missouri
slope, it is no wonder thatit will be the objsc-
tive point, as soon as the season opens, OF
such large number of families as the present
indicates.
PRICE OF LAND.
The information that Is being sought every
day by correspondence and otherwise shows
that the interest excited by these lands is of
wide range and of an absorbing nature. Being
less thickly settled than other portions Of d.
kota, though not long to remain so, the price
of land is much lower than elsewhere. Even
the railroad company, which charges four
dollars as the minimum price for land east Of
the Missouri, west of the river offers
land of the same quality at $2.60 per acre.
There are also vast quantities of government
lands to be obtained, directly on the line of the
road. The distance from eastern markets is
no bar to the profitable cultivation of these
lands. The Missouri river, which is regularly
navigated by large steamers, enters into active
competition with the railroad company for
freights, and can carry heavy freights at much
less than the railroad company can do.
Freights are now, owing to these circum-
stances, lower from Mandan to Chi
cago than from points two hundred miles
further east. When the grain products of
this region have attained sufficient limits,
barge lines will carry grain in bulk from
Mandan to Europe, with only one tranship-
ment at New Orleans.
And in this connection it should be re-
marked that all this magnificent territory

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.

Smitten at First sight--They Evade tho
First Glass Wedding.
All is well that ends well, and if the time
honored adage is true then the marriage that
took place in Chief Weber's Office at city hall
last night should prove quite as4ruitful in its
measure of mortal blessedness as though it
had been solemnized under the most fashion
able auspices.
It was the result of good old fashioned
affection, haying for it's plot fond and in
teresting old parent and and an elopement,
which formed the most interesting feature of
the business.
Residing in the peaceful and quiet burg of
Saltwater is a respectable gentleman and the
proud father of q numerous progeny named
Godfrey.
Among the happy brood was a colnely
daughter named Minnie, who is pretty bru-
nette about the average height Of a woman,
and possessing a form that is rounded and
proportional to the contour of what most
men would call beauty. She was nineteen
years Of age, quick witted and quite as I'M
questionable as romantic young maids of this
age are very likely to be.
The reader will now in Imagination or
otherwise, follow the writer to St. Paul,
where, among it's numerous manly men was
tall, 1.-the, middle aged fellow named Thomas
A. Holdship, who possesses a luxurious
moustache and hair that in thickness, length
and darkness would match the curls of
Hyperian. By trade he is carriage trim
mer.
It is of no consequence how these people
met, but as life is short and love is long, suf-
flee 1t that they came together and the little
custodian of the culver winged two hearts
with single arrow and they were as clean
gone on each other as any case of true affinity
since the world and trouble began.
But even true love has to hump itself to
avoid the sharp angles of existence, and the
trouble came in the form of the damsel's pa
ternal relative, who wouldn't hear of the
marriage.
One fine day last December the young lady
came to st. Paul osteusibly on a visit to a
lady friend, but bless your soul, her dear little
wits had other fish, metaphorically, to fry.
She met her lover and repaired to the Inter-
nation al hotel where it was said that mock
marriage ceremony was performed. A friend
of the groom named Joseph Berne OBLIGATED
as the Clergyman. Then the young bride went
home and tried to reconcile the old people but
they wouldn't hear of her marrying.
She kept her parents ignorant of the true
state of affairs until last Wednesday when she
packed up and quietly came to st. Paul to join
her liege. They secured rooms at the Ameri
can House and the irate parent of the girl
came to st. Paul yesterday in quest of his
daughter. The police we're informed of what
had taken place and officer DeCoursey found
them at the hotel.
They were brought to city hall and made to
face the father Of the girl. As things had
gone far enough, he insisted that another
marriage must take place in his presence, to
which they readily consented. Justice Hanft
was called in and they were married at s
O'Clock, George Coursey and Dennis Murphy
officiating as best men. The GLOBE extended
its congratulations, and they may be happy

More Than Fifty Millions

The largest of all Connecticut's Tor even
New England's) financial corporations is the
Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance company,
of Hartford, whose assets now reach $780,
25s, 7s5. The position of this single institu-
ton, in comparison with Hartford's banks
and fire insurance companies, is that it's assets
now are more than six times the combined
aggregate capital of the national and state
banks and trust companies of that city, and
nearly five times the combined capital of Hart
ford's fire companies. The $50 ,25S, 785 thus
gathered is the resulting accumulation of

The Corset.

The temptation to tight lacing is not
SO great as formerly, now that the cor
sets are fitted by measure, and then fast
ened in front by steel hooks. But almost
every corset wearer would find her waist
expanding in size, should she leave of
the corset and wear really loose clothing.
The corset steel is one OF the worst fea-
lures. The pressure upon the stomach,
and thus upon the nerves back of the
stomach, results in weakness and gen.
eral invalidism. Many corset wearers
imagine that the corset is . real
support to the strength. because
they feel "all gone" without it. This
only shows how much mischief the COR
set has already done. Their feelings are
all unnatural. The muscles of the
waist and abdomen have lost their native
power through confinement. II the toy
gerry worn in the shape of basques and
skirts, with bands and weights, OPP
presses and torments her when the cor
set is removed, the toggery should GER
tainly be reformed, and the muscles
given a chaDce to recover their lost
power. Physicians have always con-
demned the corset as prejudicial to
health, and the best artists have con-
demned it as distorting woman's natural
form and detrimental to real grace and
beauty. But there Is little hope OF
woman's emancipation iu great numbers
from these bonds SO long as closely fitted
waists, and especially basques prevail
