CHICAGO, March 21st.-Colonel Thomas
NJ. NicoI. in an interview with the Journal,
says he had conversation with Grant soon
after Garfield was elected, and Grant said
there were two men whom Garfield should
ignore-Hewitt and Rosecrans, particularly
the latter, whom Grant denounced as an un.
grateful, pig-headed man, that Garfield made.
and who deserved the adherence of the Presi-
dent for his talk during the canvass.

An Old Offender Captured.

Policeman Robinson and Sheriff Craw-
ford. of Ida county, Iowa, made an OK
cellent haul last Saturday when they
gathered IN CHAINS one William Stacy,
a professional horse thief and hard case.
AS is too often the case there was a
woman in the scrape. The particulars
are briefly these: Stacy and the woman
(who is claimed to be his wife, but
which is denied on good authority
went to a livery stable in Ida and hired
a team, representing that they desired
to take q drive into the country. Not
returning as agreed, the delay was at
tnbuted to a severe storm which
set In soon after the party started out,
but a little inquiry revealed the fact
that the team was seen gong in an en-
tirely different direction from that indi-
Gated when Stacy started out, and an
officer was put In pursuit. The thieves
were traced to Window, this State,
where they sold the team, and took the
cars for Mankato. Sheriff Crawford
telcgraphed here to intercept the parties
and himself left for this point. Police
man Robinson Swallowed the parties and
awaited complacently at the Omaha de-
pot where they were in waiting to take
the 3.45 train for ST. Paul, As the
train stopped, Sheriff Crawford stepped
off, and just as Stacy and the woman
were going into the car door, they were
quietly, in a familiar parlance, "pulled."
The Sheriff took the evening train back
to Window.
Stacy formerly lived in South Bend,
this county, and IS very we'll known
h~ereabouts. Some time since he moved
to Dakota, and while there was arrested
for horse stealing. On the night that
Messrs. P. j. Hawley and B. Roemer
had their horses stolen, which is now
something over a year ago, Stacy was
in the city and this Is the first that has
been seen of him since. He no doubt
is the same party who bereft these
gentlemen of two very excellent horses
The pe~nitentiary is a very appropriate
place for this renegade, and no doub
he will be placed there.

Our Market.

The many and damaging
reports that are being circulated through
various newspapers in this locality
against Mankato rs a market is directly
attributable to the stupidity of the
RepieU editor, who, when he is short Of
other matter, attacks our market. If
the charges ended in the Reoieo there
would be nothing detrimental resulting
from the statements, as the dyspeptic
symptoms of Jumbo are quite well
known by his readers; but the fact that
other papers assert that Mankato does
not pay as much for grain and produce
as neighboring towns, initiates against
our every interests, and is not only a
libel upon our dealers but a direct
thrust against our merchants and bust
ness men generally.
From one year to another, Mankato
is conceded to be the best and most re-
liable market in Southwestern Mime.

prices paid anywhere else in this local.
ity. There may be, and is, times when
competing points feel that their market
is not what it should be, and as a rene.
dy place independent buyers upon the
street to bring prices up where they be-
long. The money provided is almost
invariably that belonging to business
men and the party who is given the
purchasing agency is very apt to allow
his zeal for large receipts to get the bet
ter of his Judgment, and higher prices
govern for a time, than the great marts
of the world will begin to sustain. The
inevitable result is that ooner or later
the so-called independent buyer fails to
m~aterIalize, and the relapse which fol-
lows is generally of such a character as
to render the market even in q worse
condition than before the attempted
establishment of an independent buyer.
But happily this facilitating policy
has not characterized our market in the
past, but it has been steady and almost
invariably at the top notch. Of course
there may have been occasions for a day
or two at a time when it would appear
that our buyers would be warranted in
paying a slight advance oyer the then
existing prices, but If so, it continued
only for a very briet time and could no,
possibly be reasonable grounds for tax.

Board Of Trade.

The Directors Of the ManAato Board
of Trade met in City Council chambers
Monday morning to take action in re-
ference to the meeting in this city Of
the Northwestern Dairymen's Associa-
ton in February.
Mr.. H.. G. Willard, Secretary of the
Board, read a letter from the Secretary
of the Dairymen's Association, in which
that officer wisely suggested that CORE
spondence he at once opened with each
Agricultural Society in the several
counties of Southern and Southwestern
Minnesota urging upon them the neces.
sity of appointing delegates to attend
this convention and become members of
the Association. Also that the news
papers Of the State be urged to lay the
Importance Of this meeting before the
people and impress upon them the ne.
cessity of attending the same.
1t was decided, after some debate,
that the chair should appoint a commit
tee of five in whom all details of the
meeting should he vested, with author
ity to appoint whatever subcommittee
would be necessary TO the perfection OF
all arrangements. The general commit.
tee will be announced hereafter.
Mr.. Jno. A. Willard from the commit
tee on hotels, appointed at a previous
meeting to ascertain what, if any, re-
duction could he secured from the vari.
Gus hotels of the city for the entertain
ment of strangers, reported that the one
dollar-a-day houses would reduce their
price to rs cents. while the two dollar
houses did not feel inclined to come un-
der their regular rates.
Letters were read from a certain
manufacturing establishment located IN
the south part of the State, asking what
inducements our city would offer to Sc.
cure the location of their establishment
here. The concern is at present operat-
ing where timber is scarce and freight
transportation high, and the manage
ment desire to set up In a place where
these obstacle do not exist. The mat
ter was referred to the committee on
manufacture s, with instructions to cor
respond with the parties and ascertain
on what conditions they desired to ne
for a location adapted to their
products.
Nothing further of importance was
by the Directors and the
meeting adjourned.
