Monroe, by reason of It's locality and
means Ut access to the outside world,
ought naturally to be headquarters for
the surrounding country tor almost
everything. For year, our people in
q radiu, of fifty miles Of Monroe have
been under the necessity Of sending
abroad for almost all kinds of machi-
merry and machinery repairs.
In this way thousand of dollars have
been diverted from Monroe. In future
our people will not be under that
necessity, for the Messrs. Subiett Bros,
realizing the Importance Of keeping
the money thus spent, i'll Our midst,
and the great saving and convenience
the establishment here Of machine
depot would be to the public generally,
have, with their usual enterprise,
filled this "Want long felt" They
have procured the services of Mr.. y.

we must say that Monroe, this year,

RATSEY COUNTY LEGLSLATTON.

A Revolving Fund to Pay Charlottesville
Sheriff not Satisfied with $4,000 Per An
mum.
The Ramsey county delegation held a
secret session yesterday afternoon, con-
tinuing about an hour and a half. The
principal matter under consideration was
the question of securing legislative author
ity for the issue of 100000 certificates of
Indebtedness to be used as revolving
fund in the payment of estimates upon
contract work when the collection of as
sessments are delayed from any
ton of the matter, and it ap-
pearing from experience that contracts
can be made upon more favorable terms
when prompt payment of estimates is
made, the delegation decided to present a
bill for the necessary authority to issue the
certificates to the amount named above
These certificates, it should be understood,
do not increase the bonded indebtedness,
but merely provides a fund for use as esti-
mates for contract work become due, to be
repaid and the certificates taken up and
Cancelled as assessments for the work in
question are collected.
Sheriff Richter appeared before the del
egation to urge an increase of certain fees.
In justification of his claim, it is under
stood, the sheriff stated that the emolu-
ments of his Office instead of $4,000, as
claimed, were only $4,000. Il is also IN
derstood the delegation were virtually
unanimous in the opinion that $4,000 was
a sufficient inducement to secure the SER
vices of first-class man in the position,
and that if Mr.. Richter was not satisfied
with it he had the privilege of resigning.

ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION.
A Bold Effort to Garry off Little Girl
in Broad Daylight.

A Bold Effort to Carry off Little Girl
in Broad Daylight.
Had favorable circumstances not inter-
vened the citizens of st. Paul might have
been startled this morning by the nara
ton of case of abduction that would
have outrivaled tho famous case of Char
ley Ross. Fortunately, the veracious
chronicler is not called upon to relate a
story SO replete with sad and sorrowful de-
tails.
The attempt, however, was made in ap-
parently dead earnest, and as this villain
in particular and perhaps men of similar
ilk may yet be within the boundaries of ST..
Paul, no harm will be done in narrating
the circumstances, particularly as they
may understand that if apprehended, no
mercy save that of the shortest shrift will
be accorded them.
Shortly after 8 o'clock yesterday morn
ing, Daisy, the charming little ten year old
daughter of Capt. Russell Blakeley, left the
home of her parents, corner of Tenth and
Jackson streets, for a private academy
where she is attending school, situated on
Grove street.
She crossed over to Eighth street and
had only proceeded short distance on
that thoroughfare when she was approached
by tall, heavy set man, who asked her
whose little girl she was. She replied that
she was Capt. Blakeley's daughter, when
he asked where she was going, to which she
answered that she was on her way to
school.
The wretch then seized the child, and
taking her in his arms he started to run
off, Being quite heavy for her age and in
good health, she made strenuous resist
ance, screaming so loud, that the man be-
came frightened, and after carrying her
about half block he let her go and ran
off.
She returned home and told her story,
stating that the fellow was very dark com
plexioned, and that he wore dark SLOUGH
hat.
Her escape is indeed fortunate, and
should the william be caught his punish
ment will be swift and severe.

Squatter Sovereignty.

The ''Squatter Sovereignty" combina-
ton which commences an engagement at
the Opera house tonight, have been per-
forming to large audiences and the play is
spoken of as great success.
The Plain Dealer, of Cleveland, gives it
the following send off: Mr.. M. W. Han
ley's 'Squatter Sovereignty" company
packed the Academy to the doors, last
night, and before the curtain was rung up
only standing room was to be had. Many
went away because unable to obtain ad-
mission. The play made hit. Mr.. Ed
ward Harrigan, author of the piece, was
the first dramatist to explore that manner
of life which exists only on the east side of
New York city, and the dramatic product
is of that peculiar pinchbeck kind which
shines with the brightest luster at the
lower end of Broadway. Every New
Yorker can appreciate the wild humor and
extravaganza fun of "Squatter Sovereign
ty," which never was played outside of
that city until two weeks ago it was pro-
duced at Philadelphia. As has been well
said, the performance has been wrought up
to continuous fusilade of uproarious fun,
and the Hanley company does not miss
point where laugh might follow whim-
steal speech or ludicrous action.

A Long Trip Around.

Messrs. A. II. Cornwell and W. NJ. Ora
ham, who are prominent business men in
De Smet, D. T., desired to GO to Chicago
The Chicago & Northwestern runs train
from their town to the village at the foot
of Lake Michigan, that is when the weather
will permit. Arrived at Elkton they fosnd
that ''the longest way around was the
shortest way across, and so took
stage to Flandrau, sixteen miles, thence
by rail to Sioux Falls, and via Worthing-
ton to Kassota, where, arriving at about
$3.50 p. m. yesterday, they found no train
east until morning, and so very wisely
concluded as they could go to st. Paul and
could not go east until next day at least,
they would come up here.
The Chicago & Northwestern is open to
Pierre, but east from Benton to Tracy it is
bad. The railroad men say it won't be IL
able to be open until big thaw comes.

city hall for a policeman but none came.
Finally he attempted to eject Koran from
the establishment, and scufie ensued.
About this time policeman appeared and
arrested both, and took them to the city
hall. They were released on depositing
$50 each. Mr.. Booth could not see
why he was arrested, and very justly
thought that strange proceeding.

A few minutes before l o'clock this
morning Misss Lizzie Keller, the propri-

pant of room on the second floor of the
west end of Rogers block, was aroused
from her sleep by a choking sensation,
and On coming to her senses she found
flames bursting from corner of her room
and the place filled with smoke.
She seized her clothing and jumped from
a window to porch in the rear of the
building and at once gave the alarm. Box
No. Is was turned in and the department
were early on deck, the flames being soon
subdued. The loss of Miss Keller is esti-
mated at $500. She is insured for $500.
Miss Mckay, who occupied an adjoin-
ing room, suffers a small loss from water.
The tenants of the stories on the ground
floor got much the worst of it by water.
No. 80, occupied by the Automatic Sew
ing Machine company, Mr.. W. NJ. Nc
Kown in charge, was badly water soaked.
The loss will be from $500 to $1,000. He
is insured.
No. 28,occupied by the Mailer & Thomp-
son sewing machine agency,was also some
what damaged. Their loss will be about
$50.
Leigh & Co., undertakes, No. 80 West
Third, were also badly damaged. Their
loss will be several hundred dollars. In

Conley's Variety theater in the base
ment was literally flooded with water, and
it is feared considerable damage was done
the scenery. 1t was impossible to estimate
the loss this morning.
The origin of the fire is mystery.
