The Lost Found.

Thre was great rejoicing in the humble
home of Adam Helm, situated near Hamm's
brewery, late Monday night, because of the
return of his son Fritz who had been lost
ever since last Friday. The elder Helm is
employed at Berresiord's cracker works and
his son Fritz, who is only ten years of age,
was instructed last Friday to carry his fathers
dinner. The lad left home with the dinner
pail, but he never showed up at the cracker
works, and when the father returned home
there was great CONSERVATION in the little
family, for no one had seen the boy. That
he had lost his way was very evident,
and the matter was reported to the police.
Dilligent search was made but no trace of
the lads whereabouts was found until Mon
day night, when message was received
from Minneapolis saying that he had been
found in that city. He was brought to st.
Paul late Monday night, and at midnight he
was restored to his agonized parents by Mr..
j. G. Donnelly. The little fellow had just
wandered away and the joy Of the parents

A very strong effort is being made by the
parties interested to prevail on the city coun-
Gil to equalize the license fee. 1t is well
known that the license of few saloon keep
ers have yet nearly the full term to run,
while others will not expire under fro IN
six to eight months. On the other hand,
there is quite a number of dealers
who have either paid or will
soon be compelled to pay the $780, The
latter class now propose that an estimate
be made of the time which all the licenses
have yet to run and that rebate be allowed
those who have to pay the $500 within GER
tain time. 1t is claimed that by adopting
this plan the new ordinance can be equaliZ-
ed. It is claimed that this would virtually
repeal the law, increasing the license, while
granting the rebate would be nothing more
than even handed justice.

But she wouldn't hearken unto his tender
appeal, and it was plainly to be seen that the
woman was obdurate. The scene was in the
police court yesterday. He was in the prime
of life and she the bride of six m onths was
not exactly in her heyday. 1t was really a
sad case. Mrs. Murphy had her iege lord
arrested on the charge of assault and battery,
and it transpired that the trouble was owing
to too much sister-in-law. As stated
they had only been married six months.
In that period, Murphy had learned to dis
like his sister-in-law. Last Sunday the latter
home he ordered she and her children to
get. Then the trouple commenced, and when
Murphy tried to bounce his relative in-law,
Mrs Murphy took hand, and he almost
bounced them both. After this they got out
a warrant for his arrest. Yesterday Clerk
Fairchild, in his gallant way, tried
to have them kiss and make
up, but she wouldn't have it.
He was fined twenty-five bills and he paid
the scrip. 1t was decided that she should
take the furniture and so it was settled.
Mike Dacy and Nels Gapp had engaged in
bit of scrap and Dacy got wound up. 1t
was question Of proves and they had the
mill in the rear Of a saloon on Seventh street.
During the fight a copper doomed up and
they were run in. Sapp paid $40, and Dacy
who got thumped, went out for ten days.
John Ryan is marker for Sullivan, the
hardhitter. Monday night Ryan was ON
lark, and he commenced to guy Officer Glib
bons. The latter stood the abuse for some
time, and then collared him. On the way to
the tanner Ryan tried his best to knock the
officer out, but he only succeeded in tearing
his coat. The spree cost him $40 bill.
The immortal John Smith was on it again
Monday night, and as usual he got into the
hands of the police. He went to the Turner
hall dance and tried to have the floor to him
self. He was collared, and it took three
policemen to lodge him in cell. Yesterday
he was fined $40.
The case of Frank Pratt and Thos. Cody,
charged with burglarizing the Drum
Majors saloon, was again called. There
being no proof against Cody the charge was
changed to carrying concealed weapons, and
the weapon consisted of pair of brass
knuckles and he was fined $500. AS to
Pratt the hearing was continued until to-
morrow.

Lifted from Poverty and Care.

The Bismarck Tribune relates this pathetic
incident, which has moral easy to be extri-
Gated:
''On yesterday mornings west bound
train was family consisting of father, moth
err and son. The old folks were aged and
feeble, and their gray locks and age-bent
backs told of how few short, feetng months
they had yet to live on earth, and how soon
they must bid adieu to the son ON whom they
leaned for comfort and happiness. The re-
porter sought a consultation with the old
gentleman, who told the story of his life in
tremulous tones, while bitter tear would oc-
casionally steal from his bedimmed eyes and
follow the wrinkles of his care-worn face. He
and his devoted wife were married fifty years
ago in the state of New York, from which
place they afterwards removed to Illinois.
Settling upon farm they worked long and
hard to clear the homestead of debt, but with
failure of crops and other misfortunes the
debt increased and the mortgage was fore
closed. Thus, after years of toll and honest
endeavors, they were homeless and penni
less. Renting a piece of land, they
plodded along until their only boy
became of age. The son, DESTROYS of doing
something for himself and assisting in secur-
ing shelter for his parents in their old age,
started for the west and squatted upon a
homestead in Dakota, which, with the devel
opment of the country, grew rapidly in valne
and by selling the land the young man found
himself the possessor of several thousand
dollars. This he judiciously invested in
town lots and railroad land, and last year he
cleared up'' for fifteen thousand dollars.
Building a pleasant home on nicely located
lot in Helena, the proud sons highest ambi
tons had been gratitied, and he Immediately
bought ticket a for his old home in Illinois.
In a few days the parents will be cozily stu
ated in their western home, at even time,
when their happy son returns from business,
many a sincere blessing will be breathed
upon the west and its hospitable people.
Soon the old pair will pass beyond the
borders of mortality and reach the heaven of
perpetual rest, leaving a son whose happiest
moments will be those when he calls to mind
his journey to Dakota and the pleasant home
bequeathcd to him and the dear old folks by
the generous, bountiful west"

The Ut & st. p. r.. r.. Extension.

There is evidently to be a contest between
the Manitoba and other R. R. corporations
for the business Of the extreme northerly re-
gion of Dakota. The Pioneer at Larimore,
thirty miles west of Grand Forks. indicates
something of it in this
3The Manitoba company is greatly exer-
cised over the Fargo Larimore q Northern,
and are making every effort to squelch it,
but they will not succeed. From reliable
sources we learn the Manitoba has not yet
secured particle of right of way south of
Larimore, and are not likely to. The F., J..
& n. has it all but three or four miles, and
unless the owners return very soon the way
will be condemned, damages assessed and the
entire line secured We are assured in the
most positive terms that the F., L. & n. WILL
BE BUILT, and it looks reasonable. The Milwau-
kee road has line into Fargo. They must go on
somewhere. They are fenced out from Grand
Forks, and practically so from DEVILS Lake.
Through the Elk valley is about the only
available route they can get, and this they
are determined to have. Let them build
through here and this country forever has
competition and free ma, kets. Let the Man
itoba cross and keep them out and we have
forever grinding monopoly. Let the peo-
pie stand by the Fargo, Larimore & North
ern and it will be built and prove the saliva
ton of the Elk valley. The Manitoba road
will doubtless build north from Larimore
this spring, probably commencing the first of
May. We learn that they will 90 to the For

The following paragraphs from a letter in
the Larimore Pioneer relate to the new towns
that are shooting on the west banks Of the
beautiful DEVILS lake-the beautiful mean
ing the lake, not the cloven-hoofed gentle
man for whom it was named. 1t will be
seen that towns with as high as thirteen
buildings have only weekly papers-nice,
blooming and booming sheets, but when the
railroad comes they will all be dailies no
doubt. They are in Benson county, and the
writer says:
This county was organized last fall or be-
ginning of winter and is located west of
Ramsey county; it includes the fruitful lands
on the west end of DEVILS lake, where two
rival towns have commenced to .sboom -
West End contains thirteen buildings, con-

town has newspaper to represent the people,
and to aid in developing that attractive sec

The Wampler Fire Inouiry.

In connection Within fire at the paint
works of A. j. Wamhftr & Co. last Satur
day night, an alleged st. Paul morning
paper, and the evening dip, of this city, took
occasion to make some extremely mild,
and unjust statements against Mr..
Alexander Mansfield, the former
superintendent of the works, and Mr.. Albert
Lamphrey. The statements reflected most
seriously on these gentlemen, intimating
that they had had some connection with
starting the fire. In order to clear their
characters of the unjust aspersions the
charges were on yesterday investigated by
insurance commissioner Hall, Mr.. S. S.
Eaton and Chief of Police Clark Both gen

A Valuable Comnendium

For some months past City Treasurer Refs
has been at work in compiling descriptions
OF the miscellaneous unplatted 'land in St.
Paul, q work that has involved almost hercu-
aneum labors, and Il great deal of personal
expense. vague idea of what has been &C
complished may be had when it is stated that
when con- pleted the descriptions will make
volume o. 800 pages. On one side of the
page Of the proposed book will be Il diagram
OF the unplatted lot or section of ground, and
on the reverse side complete description of
OF the same. As book of reference, when
completed, this work will be absolutely in
valuable, as it supplies want that is not
even on the maps.
In Cuba, Mexico and the South American
states, ST. Jacobs Oil, the great pain Danish
