Yesterday morning farmer of Hassan
named Con. Dinneen, had a runaway in an
alley back of Barry's boarding house, First
street south, which resulted in his being
thrown from the wagon and very seriously,
if not fatally injured. His body is con-
siderably bruised and his head on top and
side badly cut. His horses are young and
high spirited and easily scared and almost
unmanageable when under excitement
They took fright at some lime barrels
which were being loaded on wagon in
the alley andNstarted to run with the above
result. Mr.. Dinneen will be taken by
train to his home and it is hoped he will
rapidly recover.

the doctor failed of success. Then let not de-

avail yourselves of the beneficial results Of his
treatment before your case is beyond the reach
OF medical skill, or before grim death hurries

INSURANCE BULLDOZING.

Insurance is a gambling business IN
which subscribers put up a certain amount
of money which he promises to give the
game keeper of the wheel of fortune, who
in turn pays, or agrees to, from sevepty TO
ninety eight to one, if he loses his prop
erty. Ia ether words, he who gets insured
plays as sure losing game as the man
who gees against wheel of fortune. Ii
his property does not burn the insurance
companies sweep in the bet, minus the
percentage paid to agent. This
is legitimate, law-licensed gambling in
which good people can take hand and
not become contaminated.
In Minneapolis these insurance COM
panies-who have amassed fortunes out of
the peoples pockets, and who build blocks.
drive fast horses and give wine dinners
which they pay for with the peoples
money-swoop down upon our people and
tell US how we must do, at their dictation.
in order that their profits shall become
greater, and because We do not stumble
at once to their racket, they consummate
the robberylby levying a twenty five
per cent. ''lift" Their agent tells
the world that our fine fire department is
incompetent; that our water works are no
good and even designates the size OF
mains and how they should be laid. It is
simply cry to distract public attention
from the real business of extorting money.
This agent in card says that the insur-
ance companies have paid out for losses in
half a year nearly half as much as they
took in last year. 1t is indeed sad. Ii
they had cleared up a hundred thousand
dollars we would never have heard of it.
but rates would probably have been fixed
so as to make a better showing
for the next year. Everybody knows that
it is to the interest of this agent (McCord
is his name) to show.the companies he rep
resents, that it was great stroke of policy
to send him out here; and that can alone
be done by sending them more cash and
lots of buncnmb through the newspapers
How long our people will submit to hi:
insolence and attempted dictation in re
gard to our fire and water departments i:
a question yet to be determined. Tht
grounds upon which this agent demand:
an advance of 25 per cent. on rates in
the business portion of our city are false
and he knows it. We advise our citizens
to stiffen up their backs little and lei
McCord and the companies he represents
know that he has struck ground where
bulldozing will not win,

A Netc DniLIf.

The Democrats of Minneapolis have for
months been hankering after newspaper
experience. Several meetings have recent
ly been held, at which various newspaper
projects were brought up and discussed
until the party leaders became
enthusiastic over the venture.
Learning the above facts the proprietors
of the Evening News, a paper started a
few months ago by number of enterpris-
ing young men, made oyertures to the
Democrats, opening negotiations for its
transfer to the latter. At meeting of the
leading Democrats, at which Mayor Ames
was chairman, the proposition of the pub
fishers of the News was entertained.
Mayor Ames, Col. NJ. W. Glenn and Chas.
M. Foote were appointed committee to
farther investigate the matter of the
offered property, and examine into the de-
tails of the business, the invoices of
tangible property, etc., and at asubsequent
meeting verbal report of this committee
was submitted, and the result was to in
crease the confidence of the Democrats.
Another meeting was called and the follow
ing first board of directors was elected
A. A. Ames. M. w. Glenn,
I. j. Buxton, Geo. G. Jacoby
and Theo. Basting, and last evening
the first meeting of this board was held
and an organization perfected by electing
officers of the board as follows: NJ. W.
Glenn, president, Geo. G. Jacoby, secre-
tary and business manager; T. J. Buxton,
treasurer. Tbs term of these respective
offices will expire at the first meeting in
October, when the first annual election of
officers will occur
The proposed daily will be published
mornings, and an incorporation will be
perfected on Monday, with capital stock,
paid in, of $4,000. This will be divided
into 1000 shares of S25 each.

Wheat-The demand yesterday was good
but there was too little wheat offered tc
make any kind of activity Several lots
of No hard were disposed of in privat,
were bids for No. hard at $1.1O in store,
and Sill free on board. Among the
samples were sales at 9O@1.O5, prices
varying with the quality regardless of in
inspection. There was a demand for
October No. 1 hard at $1.O7, for year at
$lO6, for February ct $11 The re-
ceipts now are SO small that few were in

of posted lots, there remains but little No.

Oats-For immediate local consumption
oats were in some request yesterday, but
demand was limited in amount. Good
rejected sold at 28c by sample; SOC was
asked for No. 2 mixed and 32c for No. 2
white. Bids were about one cent below
asking prices.

expedient, to$75,OOO by the cash sale of
1000 more shares,
The capitalists among the party have
taken hold with will, and enough money
was subscribed at a meeting held two
weeks ago to insure the certainty of the
sale of the first 1000 shares.
AS to whether the News will be purchased
or not, nothing definite has been deter
mined, but as the proprietors have offered
very reasonable figures its purchase seems
probable.
Furthermore, it may be added, the
board of directors last evening made the
publishers of the News an offer which is
now under consideration. The board is
now in active operation and the paper will
come out in the near future.
