THE missing girl sensation is alto>
gether too common, SO much SO, in
deed, that it barely sustsins the flavor
Of novelty. She is generally described
as pattern of prOpriety, very quiet
and pretty, rather studious, seldom
went out except with her mother OF
aunt, was not fond Of young men OF
society, had no special visitors and
therefore must have been abb
Quoted. These descriptions are
FIRST furnished by friends, and
then vanished up by reporters.
When the truth comes out it gen.
orally shows that there was something
wrong with the girl and her parents
or guardians long before the exposure.
The girl was fond Of beaux and ad-
miration before she got out Of short
clothes. She was headstrong, and
her parents were too Indifferent OF
blind to see anything wrong and lei
her 90 scot free to choose her own
associates, male and female. So things
run along without any wholesome
parental discipline, or positive moral
influence, until the girl got big enough
and old enough to elope with some
worthless fellow, to run off with an
idea Of going on the variety stage,
travelling with a circus or doing worse.
Nine times out Of ten the missing girl
is the first publicity Of something that
has been loose, inharmonious cr
rotten in the family circle all
the time. st. Louis has
been profoundly agitated for some
days by the disappearance of Mary
Churchill, daughter Of Col. Churchill,
prominent citizen. She belonged
to the upper classes, but it now ap.
pears that she was fond of dime novel
literature and Of young mems society,
so much so indeed that she managed
to meet many Of the latter on the sly.
She also imagined, like about a
million other girls and grown
women, that she would like
to try being great actress like Mary
Anderson. The parents were doubt.
less greatly to blame. A mother at
least should know what kind of books
and papers her daughter reads, and
what kind Of company she keeps, and
should instill proper ideas into hel
head from the very cradle. Where
the right kind of confidence exists the
mother may read the inHermost
thoughts Of her daughter, and be al
fully informed in regard to her actions
as If she were present every moment
In such cases as this, where a bright
highly educated young lady deliber'
steiy runs away from q good home, thu
parents are generally more to blame
than the erring, silly child.

ST. Louis, August 29.-A fatal en-

near Foudon City, in this county, be-

Rosenbrook, both residents Of Bowl

its origin in a grudge Of long standing,
growing out Of disrespectfnl remarks
by Phillips concerning RosenbrOok's

quarreled and yesterday morning they
decided to settle the matter in duel
with pistols, to be fought at 6 o'clock
this morning at the place mentioned,
They chose as their seconds Mack

New YORK, Feb. 2.-The bears were in
force at the opening this morning, and the
free offering of stocks commenced at
once. Omaha preferred, which suffered so
much on yesterday, was particularly weak,
selling down to 105. This was enough to
demoralize the balance of the market and
the tone, for time was decidedly feverish
After l o'clock came a steadier telling
which was, however, soon followed by
fresh selling all along the line, the Oma-
has being especially weak. Nickel Plate,
common and preferred, seemed to have no
protection and were badly slaughtered, as
was Norfolk & Western preferred, on a re-
port of passing of the dividends, which
was denied later. Pullman sold at 121. ex-
dividend. Terre Haute broke to 6315 in
the final dealings. This wound up the day,
which has been anything but satisfactory
to holders. Any further decline to-mor-
row will probably bring in orders to buy
good properties to some extent.

The Comment Upon the Senatorial Contest.
Winona Republican.
As regards the fitness of the senator
elect for the high position to which he has
been fortuitously elected there will bevari-
GUS estimates formed. The one, perhaps,
which should have present precedence in
if not exclusive occupancy of the public
mind, at least until he shall have had an
opportunity to assert himself in his new
Office, is that which his friends and admir-
ers are prompt to put forward. Mr.. Sabin,
from this point of view is a
man of genial manners, of abounding
good nature, one who can place himself
en- rapport with his companions in whatey-
er situation he or they may be found. His
business ability, Ihis perseverance, and,
force of character, have been well attested
in the successful building up of one of
the greatest and most complicated bust
ness enterprises in the Northwest. In the
state legislature he has for years borne a
conspicuous part-not SO much as a law
maker as in the more practical operations
of guiding the will and shaping the acts of
those with whom he was associated. In
brief, though yet young man, he has the
right to be considered in Minnesota at
. leat, marked social, business and politi-
cal force. What new or enlarged qualities
he may develop in the broader field of
national legislation the future alone can
! answer. The Republican, which has never

If he lives to serve out his term we pre-

legislation of the next few years is to be of
character that will peculiarly require the
pre-eminent business grasp and foresight
that Mr.. Sabin possesses. Questions of
taxation and tariff are pressing for settle
ment and congress as at present organized
seems almost utterly incompetent to deal
with them. New blood and brains of the

A Pleasant Incident.

One of the pleasantest incidents associ-
ated with the contest occurred about Z
o'clock last evening, at room 9, Metropoli-
tan hotel, one of the suite of rooms occu-
pied by Hon. c. F. Kindred. During the
afternoon Mr.. Kindred invited Hon. G.. B.
Buckman, the senator from Little Falls,
and Representatives G. G. Parker, Wa
dena, G. G. Hartley, Brainerd,
and J. T. D. Sadley, of Mile Laos, and
Major G. M. Wilson, of Cook county, to
meet him at his room at the hour named,
as he had little surprise for Hon. A.
the legislature named, as is well known,
represent what is known as
the Kindred element of the Republican
party in the legislature from the
Fifth congressional district, and with that
loyalty that characterized their support of
his congressional candidacy, they support
ed him for United States senator all
through the struggle up to the time when,
Mr.. Sabin was brought out, when
with the full consent of Mr..
Kindred, they went to that gentleman and

this, Mr.. Moore was one of the sturdiest of
the stalwart Kindred five, and therefore his
associates thought it nothing strange that
Mr.. Kindred should desire to show his ap-
probation in some kindly manner. Mr.
Moore, who boards at the Merchants, had
been summoned by a messenger, and upon
entering the room where the other gentle
men were congregated, and passing the
ordinary salutations, was presented with a
beautiful gold headed ebony cane by Mr..
Kindred, who accompanied the gift with a
few hearty words of commentator and
best wishes for the future. The gold
mounted cane is handsomely chased, and
bears the inscription, ''To A. Moore, from
IF. K, 1885," The surprise was COM
plete, so much so that Mr.. Moore could
but stammer his thanks. But greater
was in store, for Mr.. Kindred, stepping
into an adjoining room, brought out canes
of like elegance, which he
presented to Messrs. Buckman, Park
er, Hartley, Sadley and Wilson, &C
companying each with some
happy personal allusion. Each
cane bore similar inscrip-
ton to that of Moore's, merely changing
the name of the recipient. 1t was happy
conception and most heartily enjoyed by
all participants.

had occasion to speak of him in other
than the spirit of friendship, can only in
dulge the hope that his deeds may equal
his opportunities.
Minneapolis Tribune.
The new senator will take his seat under
the serious disadvantage of being over
shadowed by the wide and deserved fame
of his predecessor, but with his natural
abilities, backed by exceptional force of
character, he has it in his power to avoid
the fatality of being alluded to in history
as the mediocre successor of a distin-
why Mr.. Sabin should not carry
to the discharge of his new duties the
confidence and the good will of all ele-
ments in the Republican party of his state.
That his success was only rendered possi-
BILE by the defeat of Mr.. Window was the
misfortune of the situation and not the
fault of the winning candidate. Mr.. Sabin
stood Loyalty by the fortunes of Mr.. Win
dom until they we're hopeless, and then he
simply and sensibly declined to take the
attitude that because Mr.. Window could
not be elected, therefore. no friend of Mr..
Window should consent to be elected.
[St. Paul Dispatch.]
We will not say that Mr.. Sabir was the
first choice of the Dispatch. But he is in
fnitely preferable to Window. His cleo
tion, coming in the way it did, and being
attributable to those who achieved it, has a
significance vastly different from what
would be inferred by many from the per-
sonality of the senator elect-or rather
from the false reputation which has hith-
erto been sought to attach to him. 1t
marks new era in Minnesota politics.
minneapolis Pioneer Press.
One thing at least will be conceded, even
by those who will most deprecate his
election-and that is that no more ca
pable representative of the general bust
ness interests of the state could have been
selected than D. M. Sabin. He is not very
well equipped, it is true, with the sort of
gifts or accomplishments which would
enable him to take leading part in the
debates of public questions. But he is
clear-headed, with a capacity for plain, di-
rect and forcible statement, which is al
ways more useful and effective in commit
tee work, and often more so on the floor of
the senate, than the more elaborate elo-
quence of the practiced debater.
