mon Council" said a striker who is
out of business and out at the ell
bows. aHow was that?" inquired
a friend "There was an important
vote to be. given, and Tim Dockerty
said that he would rather give ten
thousand dollars than have me vote
the way / intended" "Did Tim
have the money ?" asked the friend.
"He never had five dollars to bis

Arbor Day, which has within tive
years become recognized institu-
ton in tho Province of Quebec, has
already been the means Of much
benefit, as this spring nearly 15O,
900 trees were planted on that day.
It has also attracted much attention
to the study of forestry and interA
ested many, especially school chill
dren. If one of the days devoted to
statute labor on the highways were
devoted to tree planting, the bene>
fits accruing would be very great.
l By a recent decision of the ST.
preme Court it is net improbable
that the Missouri Pacific railroad
will be taken from Mr. Jay Gould
and restored to the stockholders of
the old corporation from whom it
was captured, through alleged fraud, 4,
by Commodore Garrison eight years
ago. If thcforeclosure under which
Garrison obtained the property is
declared void, the S54, 100000 of Sc
curities issued on it by Mr.. Gould
will become worth only their weight
as waste paper. .ss 4st. f.t f5a}

An Irata Man.

The other day man from the rural
districts came into town carrying with
him large grip sack Getting ready TO
return home he strolled over to the Rock
Island & Peoria depot and as it was some
time before the train started, he asked
Charlie TrEesdale if he could leave his
grip in the coal office Truesdale, who is
noted for his accommodating spirit,
granted his permission, and the volise was
left there. while the man went down town
again. For some reason or other the man
did not call for his property until several
days afterwards, when he realized the fac1
that his yalise was not there, but had
mysteriOusly disappeared. He called
Truesdales attention to the matter, but
he was as ignorant as to its whereabouts
as the owner. The man finally got up On
his ear. and accused Truesdale of Willfully
making away with the beloved receptacle
for old clothes and dirty collars. Such
an accusation naturally raised Truesdale's
ire. The stranger was also wrathy and il
looked as though some pugilstic. work
would be done. At last accounts the
man had not found his grip, and Trnes
dale has provided himself with a big club
with which he will lay out all people who
attempt to leave their baggage in his

The lumber men are in the thrues of
great woe. They are undecided what to
do. A large number Of them want TO
suppress work in September. So far the
mills of the three cities are concerned, II
willingness to shut down on the 18th is
manifest The Lumbermen's exchange,

lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That the Lumbcrmens ex-
change coincide with the sentiment eX~
pressed in the resolutions adopted at II
meeting of the lumbermen of the city of
Eau Claire, held in that city on June %
Resolved, further. That in view of the
large amount OF logs now in the booms nj
the different lumber localities, we deem il
important that some steps be taken, if
possible, to prevent them being put on
the market in the shape of lumber to fur
Their depress prices, and we know of no
better way than to follow out the sug
gestion thrown out at the meeting ut Eau
Claire, by meeting in Chicago for the
purpose of consulting with view OF
bringing about the desired result.
Resolved, That we are in favor of shut
| ting down our mills at the time indicated
or as soon thereafter as the safety of the
stock of logs will admit.
Some of the mills in Minneapolis, how
ever, will not comply with the above res.
olutions. but will continue in operation
