THE CHURCH TROUBLE.
What the Self-Accused Defaulter
from Virginia Has TO Say.

The BEE has already chronicled the
fact that a man giving his lame as j. w.
Church is lying in jail here now, at his
own instance, he claiming to be a defaul-
ter fom West Virginia. He was a little
tn, worse for liquor when he turned
himself over to the officer at the transfer,
but yesterday was all right, and told his
story to The BEE reporter quite con-
nectedly. He is a thin, nervous acting
man, and it is difficult to determine how
much truth there IS in some of the state
ments he makes. He says that he is
from Caldwell county, West Virginia,
and that he was a native of
that place. At the time of the breaking
out of the war he skipped out and soon
afterward enlisted with a Minnesota bat
terry and served in the northern army.
After the wal he went back, and since
that time has occupied various official
positions, having been mayor, a member
of the council several terms, and COM
years. While in this position he became
n uelaulter, anu Wlllle unlS lldu llOJ Deen
discovered, he found that he could not
square himself, and concluded to leave.
He did not even tell his wife and family
but left suddenly Monday of last week,
He came as far as Omaha, his intention
being to see if he could not get some other
position, and gather up enough money,
sometime in the course of years, to pay
up the amount which he had taken from
the school fund. He came over to this
city Saturday with the intention of going
out with n conductor, who was to let him
90 through to Illinois. He got over here
too late to take the train, and did not
dare to wait around here until the con
ductor came back for another trip, ex-
pecting hat kilograms would be sent out
all oven the country after him. He was
so worried that he finally concluded to
give himself up and end all anxiety.
He complains greatly at the way Off
GER Morse used him. He says that he
was taken to the police station, and there
about So in silver was taken from him
and deposited in the drawer, and that on
the way down to Jail Morse said he ought
to examine him a little farther, and feel
ing in his pocket, took away from him an

The Bow El0cutiOnist.

Arthur NJ. Dearborn, the boy elocu-
ZIONIST, visited Morris last Friday
evening but his visit was attended
with poor success. No tickets were
sold and of course the entertainment
was not given. The blame though is
to be attached to his advance agent
rather than to Mr.. Dearborn himself
This advance agent, we understand
has done we'll through the season but
when he reached Morris it must have
been time for semi-occasional spree
as he was more than "half full" all
the time he was here, acting like a
veritable dead beat and disgusting
everybody who had anything to do
with him. OF course he created the
impression that anything he repres-
ented would prove to be "snide"
affair, and when Friday night came
Mr.. Dearborn found an empty hall.
The agent has since been dismissed so
that no more failures will be occasioned
by him. Mr.. Dearborn himself, we
believe to be worthy of a full house
wherever he goes. Papers in places
visited universally speak we'll of him
and would lead one to believe that he
is an elocutionist of more than ordi-
nary ability.

Norris to the Front.

Morris is an excellent point for
hotel business, and has hotel which
not only does the business naturally
belonging here but Dies more than
this by attracting commercial men
and others from other places. We
refer to the Metropolitan. With the
exception ofthe Merchants" st. Paul
has no hotel whose trade equals it,
Everything about the hotel is kept up
in first class style and Mr.. and Mrs.
Bemis have happy faculty for en-
tertaining guests and making every
one feel at home. After staying at
the Metropolitan of Morris awhile a
person would feel lonesome should he
enter the Windsor or Metropolitan of
St. Paul.

In the boom edition of the Sank
Centre Tribune appears the following
as part of and editorial upon Life in
Minnesota" Within the state are
found happy homes made so by health
and plenty. The rural life is especially
pleasing, and we find among the farm
ing classs many highly educated and
refined people. There are school
houses in abundance where the rising
generation is taking the first lessons
of life, and the hurry of the cities has
not neglected to establish institutions
of learning where the higher branches
of advanced knowledge are taught.
The climate is delightful. The winter
is rather long, but is follow by d short
spring which opens into warm sum-
mer, during which vegetation makes
growth which is truly wonderful,
wheat is sown, reaped and thrashed
within three months, and in some of
the meadows grass grows to heighth
of six feet within seventy days. The
summer is followed by a long autumn
and fall which gene rally turns into
winter about the middle of November.
The year makes up cycle of busy
work for the farmer. He. seldom
need loose any time, even the cold
winter days are utilized in hauling on
the roads which are generally good at
that time for sleds.
The towns are all hustle. No dull
ness for them. All is action for the
business men, and wealth is rapidly
accumulated. Society is of high
order, even in the smaller towns, and
cultured tastes make many beautiful
homes where traveller would not ex-
pect to find anything but squalor. In
few, but truthful words. we can close
this short description by saying-no
where in the world is life enjoyed
more than in Minnesota.

NORRIS.
WHEAT TICKETS VS. CASH.

The doubtful benefits of the practice
so many farmers have of taking tickets
for wheat instead of selling outright
for cash are strongly eXemplified at
the present time.
The object of taking tickets is of
course the hope of realizing higher
rates at some future time than the
current price. But this hope is more
often defeated than fulfilled. 1t is q
very palpable fact that the price of
wheat in this quarter of the globe is
fixed more directly by the Minneapo-
lis Miilers' than by any other single
agency. During the fall and the early
winter they are constantly purchasing
large supplies of wheat for their win
ter's grinding. Now comes the evil of
the wheat ticket system. The millers
put in elevators all along the lines of
railroads. good thinSfor the farmers :;
their agents stand ready to pay cash
at the current prices, for all grain that
is brought in-anOther good thing;
but the farmers may leave their wheat
and take tickets for it if they so elect.
The price seldom comes up to the
farmers expectations, and large
majority of them prefer the tickets to
cash-in reality, selling for a rise.
The wheat is shipped to the mills; the
millers' wants for half the winter are
supplied; and after this, what object
do they have in raising prices? Nat
urally they have none, and so prices
remain at IS or so cts. for No. hard
during the first half of the winter at
least, and generally longer. Before
rise comes three-quarters of the farm
ers who took tickets in the hope of an
early increase, have been forced from
lack of money to. realize on them at
a less price than was paid at the time
when their wheat was marked.
Farmers Who brought their wheat to
Morris month or more ago when
wheat was worth 50 cts took tickets,
are now being forced by maturing
notes and other cash demands to sell
at 75-a difference of 10 cts. per bushel
which would have gone far to settle
all their outstanding indebtedness
without having the additional interest
and elevator charges to pay.
If all this wheat that has been
placed in the hands OF elevator men
and tickets given for it was in the
granaries of the farmers, it is very
reasonable to suppose that it would
The Millers' in this case would not
have such large amounts of grain on
hand and in order to secure wheat for
grinding this coming winter, they
would be compelled to offer better
prices.
This may be given as the most
plausible reason for the present pre-
vailing low prices, and the lesson to be
learned is that farmers should keep
their wheat at home in their own
granaries until they are ready to sell.
1t is true that those fortunate farm
ers who owe no man anything, who
have plethoric bank account and
unlimited credit, may profit by posi-
BILE higher prices in the spring; but the
experience of years proves that this
increase is not by any means of yearly
occurrence, and but few farmers are
thus situated. The rank and file of
the wheat growers are much more
likely to lose money than to gain by
the practice of taking tickets.
