Mr.. A. L. Gillespie, of Gillespie & Harper, who
are interested in the failure Of Bliss & Elliott,
of Minneapolis, was in the latter city attending
| meeting of the creditors yesterday. The estate
is not pauning out well, but it looks as if the
saltwater i.rm will come out all right.
We understand there was some tall target
practice on Thursday afternoon, but the boys
are some OF them chary TO speak about the big
soores The target the regulation size, but
from whispers heard it appears that of the
crack shots could not either or strike the
target. Some of the new men made excellent
shots.
Building operations are progressing nicely.
The new hotel at the corner of Main and Null
berry streets is about finished, whilst Mr. Elliott
is getting on with his large building at the head
of Chestnut street on Third. The brick for We

On Thursday evening a meeting was held of
the members of the Congregational Church, at
which it was decided to hold large entertain
ment at al early day. The church is nearing
completion. and the congregation deserves the
highest praise for the in which they have
worked i'll getting up such beautiful place OF
| worship.
The four ladies of whom we mentioned in
yesterday mornings paper having gone to
Minnetonka for days recreation, viz: Mrs.
Hayden, Mrs. Husey, Mrs. Day and Mrs. Berry,
had rather unpleasant adventure coming home,
young man wanting to become possessed of
handsome bag in which one of the ladies kept
her cash The ladies were rather nervous over
it, but there being four of them they came to the
conclusion that they could manage any young
fellow that might try and such u prank roo
berry. He foed in his object.
The kids on North Third street appear to have
an antipathy to dudes, and one of them got rather
badly used by them few nights ago. lie con
siders himself lion killer among the fair sex,
and at all chances wants to see them safely home
on the hill The kids have been lying in wait
wait for such as he, and whilst he was walking
with fair young damsel, the first thing he knew
an exceedingly stale egg went to pieces on the
rim of his nice felt hat while another demoral-
lied his tony necktie and colllr, and to cap the
matter his partner began laughing at him. He
wanted badly to demolsh the author of such
wickedness, but his clothes were too tight to
follow his tormenters. 1t was good he was not
struc. on his proboscis, as it would be dangerous
as 1t might have ignited the gases so plenti-
fully spread.
Some people would kick no matter what hap
pens and the last thing is about the number of
civilians employed by the Northwestern Manu-
featuring company, they contending that most of
the company's work is bone by convict laDor
Those who talk in that style don't know what
they are talking about. Last month the pay roll
was over 81 5000 and the whole of that amount
maid civilians of whom d3O n
are constantly employed, and not over half that
number of convicts work for the company. The
contracts for the building of cars have been com
pleted, but 1t is expected that contracts will be
entered into at an early day, which will require
over LOCO men and more. We cannot
see how it is that people are con
stantly grumbng as far as work is con-
cerned, Saltwater is in a better position than
almost any city we know, we have not only
large number of men employed in manufacturing
but there are thousands that are supported by
the many large mills in the city. These are
things that other places have not, and no person
need be idle here who wishes to work True
wages may not be high as other years. but the
wages now received will purchase as many goods
as the higher wages formerly the prices of goods
being 80 much reduced. The best thing is to
quit growing, and be thankful that things are as
well as they are.
Articles of apparel have been oftentmes
missed from clothes lines in this city, but there
has been no general clearing out of any lines
Yesterday morning, an Italian. who has for some
time been engaged as fagman at the railway
crossing at Myrth street, had occasion to go to
John McKuseck's spring for pail of water, and
whilst there he saw and coveted an article on
the clothes line, which he placed under his
coat and took away. The article was missed,
and he was known to be there after water. The
police were informed, and Officer George Walter
detailed to look it mp. The Italian at first denied
knowing anything about 1t, but on the officer
wishing to go under the tracks in rear of the
timber inspectors office, he said he had found
such an article and would get it. He did not wish
the officer to 90 down there. He was then ar
rested but did not desire to go with the police.
However. he was conducted to the cells, and
search warrant issued and taken to his house,
where several articles found belonging to
other parties. and which they identified. 1t ap-
pears that for some time sneak thieves have been
at work and no doubt the one caught will get such
o lesson that he will in the future leave clothes
alone. This morning he will appear before the
municipal court.
Interesting Came of Base Ball.
Yesterday there was played on the base ball
grounds here one of the most interesting games
