''It is not the coat that makes the man

some elasticity, and win wear from three to
five years. Such suspenders are purchased
at s. pair by men in easy circumstances.
The Berlin suspenders are also new, but
mush wider and fancier than the French.
We have them in various colers. Shrimp
pink, terra Gotta, cardinal and birds-eye
blue are the most popular. They are quite
easy on the shoulders, and are very hard to
wear out-that is, they will last long time.
The ends are of leather, hand sewed, and
the price 81 25. Besides these we have
haud-painted goods which, although of old
style, are much worn. Nearly every young
man about to be married prefers the hand

attractive. / am always sorry when i hear

c. H. Coleman has been corralled at the
instance of Nettie Couley, the keeper Of a
gilded palace on south Main street, just
across the bri dye. Coleman was arraigned
in the municipal court yesterday upon the
charge of obtaining money under false pre-
lenses. From the warrant the following is
cleaned: The warrant alleges that
the defendant, G. II. Coleman,
represented to Nettie Conley that he and one
Henshaw were partners as G. II. Coleman &
Co., and that they were the owners and
holders of certain promissory note made
and executed by the complainant, Nettie
Conley, on June 90, 1884, for S160, due In
ninety days from date, and payable to said
c. II. Coleman & Co., and that If Nette
Conley would give to him (Coleman) the
$l60 that he would cancel the note. Rely
ing upon these statements, and believing
them to be true, and not knowing to the
contrary, Nettie Conley paid to Coleman the
sum asked for in liquidation of the note in
question. The complainant now alleges that
the representations and pretences of Cole
man were false, and that he had sold the
note previously and consequently had no
right to collect the same.
The examination was continued until
Sept. II, at a. m, and the defendant was
remanded TO custody in default of bonds.
His attorney is confident that clear show
ing will be made.

4 Temporary Injunction Granted against
the Manitoba and the Elevator COM
panieS.
The situation concerning the difficulty be
tween the Minneapolis & st. Louis and the
Manitoba roads concerning the loading track
on the north side of the elevators No.
and A No. 2 of the Minneapolis Elevator
company remains unchanged. Early Mon
day morning Judge Lochren granted tenn
porary injunction and order compelling the
Manitoba road to show cause why it should not
abandon all claim to the track in question
and the case will be heard Saturday.
The complaint filed in the action brought
by the Minneapolis & st. Louis road again st
the Manitoba road and the elevator company
sets forth that the track is laid upon land
partly owned by the Minneapolis 81 st. Louis
company and partly by the elevator COM
pany, and describes at great length
the way in which the Minneapolis
81 st. Louis road came to acquire
title to this strip of land.
1t alleged further that the Minneapolis & St.
Louis road at the request of the Elevator
company constructed the track running
from the plaintiffs main track to the eleva-
tors; that these elevators constitute substan-
italy all of the public elevator facilities of
Minneapolis; that the several lines of the
Minneapolis 81 st. Louis road run through
wheat growing country and that
this is conspiracy to deprive
the Minneapolis & st. Louis road access
to these public elevators and to compel it to
deliver to the Manitoba all wheat transported
over its lines and requiring to be stored and
to pay switching charge. Wherefore the
plaintiff prays that permanent injunction
may be granted to prevent the defendants
from removing the track or interfering with
the use of the same By the plaintiffs
to and from the elevators
and to prevent the defendants further
from establishing monopoly and seeking
to convey to the Manitoba road an exclusive
carriage of the grain.
There has been no violence at the elevators,
although the police are still on duty.
