POLICE COURT MEDLEY.
Bad Girls and Bad Boys, Thieves,
Suspects and Tramps.

When the case ofJosie Novatney was called
in the police court yesterday the audience
held its nose, so to speak, and the girls story
was given in an undertone. She was ar
ragned on the complaint of her father, who
charged her with being incorrigible and he
asked to have her committed. She is bright
looking girl of sixteen, flaxen hair, blue
eyes and an attractive appearance generally.
She shed tears and whispered to the court
that her father had tried to take unnatural
liberties with her. She had been before the
court before and Judge Burr gave her some
good advice and sent her to the Shepards
for ninety days, it being by all odds the best
place for her.
When the name of William Campbell was
called a middle aged man with clean shaven
face turned a pair of sightless eyeballs in the
bat, and he ekes out living by peddling
songs. Last Saturday he loaded to the
guards on tanglefoot and then proceeded to
cruelty beat a little boy whom he had for a
guide. He was committed for ten days and
the boy will be sent home.

The Mandau Pioneer figures the loss in
Dakota on wheat by storms at 1880, 600
bushels, and says: although the computed
loss, 1880, 900 bushels, seems large in itself,
when viewed in connection with the total
yield, $4,000, 900 it dwindles to insignii-
canoe There still remains 90, 75O, 900 BUSH
els of prime wheat in Dakota Deducting
ten bushels of wheat per head for each resi-
dent of the territory, for home consumption
(on the basis of 100000 population), the
total amount of wheat left for morket abroad
will be 1880, 900 bushels. Allowing 4, 49,
600 bushels for seed, incidental loss, shrink
age, etc, there still remains for market 15,-
0O0,0 900 bushels. Estimating the amount at
forty cents per bushel the revenue to Dakota
for her wheat crop will be sc, 900, 600.

AN INSANE WOMAN.
The Story of Her COmmittal to St
Peter And Why 1t Was
Done.

Tho following is correspondence taking
place between Judge McGrorty, of the pro-
bate court, and Supt. Bartlett, of the insane
asylum atSt. Peter, in regard TO q female
patient lately sent thither by order of the
court:
ST.. PETER Mimi, Aug. %, 1SS4.-Judge
of Probate. Dear Sir: The children of Mrs.
+. Kittner, who was sent here last Wednes-
day from Ramsey county, claim that they
knew nothing about her removal until she
was gone. This appears little strange when
they were living in the city, | should like to
know something more about the matter, as
there is not much information given in the
history of the case. Respectfully yours,
G. j. BARTLETT.
ST. PAUL, Aug. %, 1SS4-Dr. c. X.
Bartlett: Dear Sir: Mrs. Kittner was ex-
amined in our court on charge of insanity
on information fled by John Bresette, cap
tain Of the police of this city. She was ex-
amined in the usual way and was taken to
st. Peter by deputy sheriff. She has been
the victim of strange decisions for at least
twoyears last past, to my personal knowledge.
Her present delusion is that ringers
dance and yell in her garden every night
around her house, and she claims that n
night or two before her arrest on charge of
insanity they broke into her house and gave
her chloroform and "did bad things to her. -
For loug time she has been infatuated with
gentleman in this city, "Charlie d. She
has called at my office about three times a
month for The past two years, each time tell
ing me that ''Charie was in trouble again. y
and asking me to help hiIa. l would assure
her that Charlie would come out all right,
and she would go away satisfied. At such
times she also called at police head
quarters and asked help for
Charlie. She has frequently taken the police
to her house to protect her from these imagi-
nary ''niggersn and enemies. She also hears
noises in her house in the night, gentlemen
reading, speaking, etc. Her domestic ar
engagements have been trife irregular, as
she will tell YOU il she gets started on the
story of her life. You know that in large
city we cannot hunt up the relatives in all
eases. Her son does not live in his moth
er's house, and has not done so for some
time as | understand. His brother-in-law
claims that the boys relations with certain
women causes her (the mother-in lawl great
uneasiuess. The boy is under guardianship
in this court, and Is about twenty years OF
age. think that Mrs. Kittner's interests
did not suffer in any way by her commital
TO the asylum. This son of hers did not see
his mother except at long intervals The
physicians who made the examination art
reputable, and both stand very well in the
profession OF this city. Yours truly,
WM Il. MCiRoRrY.

ger of the NJ & St. P.

Mr.. e. p. Ripley to BECOME General Traffic
Manager of the Mil,camkee & ST. Paul.
Chicago Tribune, August 25.
Rumors have beer current in railway cir
cles here for several days to the effect that
the Chicago, Milwaukee s. st. Paul railway
company has offered the position of general
traffic manager of its lines to Mr.. E. P. Rip
ley, the well known general freight agent of
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway
Mr.. Ripley is at present in the east, and con-
sequently nothing definite regarding these
reports can be learned. 1t is claimed that
the offer made to Mr.. Ripley is such fatter-
ing one that he is seriously considering its
acceptance. His trip to the east is said to
have reference to this matter, as he desires
to consult with General Manager Potter, who
is also in the cast and the directors of the
Burlington before making up his mind
whether he shall accept the fattering offer
made by the Milwaukee & St. Paul or not If
Mr.. Ripley should decide to leave the Bur-
lington this company will not find it an
easy task to secure an equally competent
and efficient general freight agent
NIL hplcy lS COuCcucu W UC
one of the ablest and most efficient officials
in the country. And as regards passenger
business, which would also come under his
direction if he accepts the position of gen
eral traffic manager of the Milwaukee and ST.
Paul, he is also well qualified to take charge
of, as previous to his appointment as general
freight agent of the Burlington he had charge
of this company's passenger affairs in the
east, and managed them with great success.
The Burlington being fully aware of the Sc
rious loss it would suffer if Mr.. Riplye should
decide to leave its service, is said to have
been looking around for some days past to
find an equally competent man to fill his
place, 1t is said that it has been virtually
decided by the Burlington people that in case
Mr.. Ripley should resign to appoint Mr. Jos.
F. Tucker late of the Illinois Central, gen
eral traffic manager, in charge of the freight
and passenger traffic of its lines both east
and west of the Missouri river, and it is be-
leved that Mr.. Tucker would accept the posi-
ton. As to Mr.. fuckers qualifications for
that position, it is needless to make any
comments. There is not railroad official
in the country who enjoys better reputation
in that line of business than he does, and he
is really the only man who could successfully
fill the place SO long and SO ably filled by
Mr.. Ripley.

snlendid Crops f;or Erhibitfons

Numerous very fine samples OF crops have
been gathered in the Mandan region with
the expectation that the Northern Pacific, as
in former years would encourage the effort
TO exhibit them at fairs east, and carry them
as far as St Paul. The Mandan PIONEER,
however, says: 'It seems now, however,
that the company will not encourage the
matter, as was formerly anticipated. In
view of the fact that display of Morton
county products in the east will directly ben
eft the railroad more than any particular in
dividual, it seems rather remarkable that the
company should pursue the narrow guage
course. 1t is hoped that the st. Paul officials
win vet revise their decision and aid Morton
county in showing her fine products to the
people of the east"

Harpest Rain and Hail Storms.

There has been little damage by rain the
past week, but the hail has done good deal
of injury. In one settlement near Wahpe-
ton three thousand acres of fine wheat was
ruined, and lesser amounts in other locali-
ties. The rain was very unusual in amount
and frequency. The Darlington Ne,cs says
of it: ''In four years experience in Dakota
we have not seen a continuous rain in har-
vest until this season, never anything but a
passing shower of only slight Importance
A great deal of rain has fallen since last
Friday evening, although we do not know
that anything more serious than delay in
harvesting has occurred. 1t is probable that
some damage has been done to half finished
wheat stacks, or to grain imperfectly
shocked. Rain so seldom occurs at this sea-
son that those most familiar with the facts
are likely to be the most careless in the mat

Sad Death of a Farmers Daucnter

The Grafton Herald records this sad acct
dent: ''On Monday evening Coroner Wildt
was notified that Anna Feldman, fourteen
year old daughter of Henry Feldman, who
resides ten miles east, accidentally shot her.
self in her fathers granary. The coroner
left next morning for the scene of the acct
dent and held an inquest at which the follow
ing facts were developed: The Oldest son,
Henry, was back setting close to the house
and had his gun with him for the purpose of
shooting chickens. He quit blowing and
brought the gun into the granary where the
deceased was churning and left to fix the
reaper. Shortly after small brother, Willie,
heard report and went to the granary and
immediately run to his brother Henry telling
him Anna was dead. The family run and
found her body on the floor with the gun
leaning on the partition close to the body.
The charge entered under the left ear scat
tering her brains on the floor. The jury re-
turned the following verdict: That the de-
ceased came to her death by a shot dis
charged from shot gun, and that the killing
was accidental.''

Baynes coun.y's Freight Bin.

The Valley City Times figures this way:
at is conceded BY the best informed men
in the county that the aggregate of Barnes
county's yield will be fully one-tbird in ex-
cess of last years erop-aDd perhaps fifty
per cent. larger-or in round numbers about
500, 900 bushels. At the present rates the
railroad company viii receive so per car
for grain shipped from points in Barnes
county TO st. Paul, Minneapolis and Duluth.
To transport the grain yield Of this county to
market will require about 1000 cars. Thus
on outgoing freights ON grain shipped from
Barnes county our farmers will this year pay
about SIP, 900 in the matter of grain freight
only"
