THE OUTLOOK.

There is pretty general report of
dull business just now in interior towns,
but the outlook is very good neverthe-
less. The stock market seems to have
recovered from the May panic and de-
preston and or Saturday last in New
York prices went up with rush and
the feeling was unusually buoyant.
The crop prospect, too, is good gener-
ally with il few local exceptions. The
Sioux City Journal reports tho best
that city since 1876, and that corn is so
good that farmers begin to fear low
prices.
THE PROHIBITION PROGRAM
A despatch from Washington says:
Commissioners Price, of the Indian
Office, and Dudley, OF the pension office,
went to Pittsburg to attend the Prohi-
bition convention to secure an endorse
ment of the Republican ticket if pos
sible. Their reception was so uiSheart-
ening that they did not remain for the
convention. When asked what he dis
covered out there, Commissioner Dud-
ley SAID: we IOunu Il l)eMOcrHClc
annex-;.ll the leaders are Democrats.
They said Blaine was not enough of a
Prohib,tionist for them. asked them
what they expected to accomplish run.
ming an independent ticket, and they
replied that it would defeat the R-pub.

PLATFORM commissioner Price tells
about The same Story. He Says the
Pro'il,tiouists propose to beat Blaine
and intend to destrny the Republican
wtrty. When they have done that they
expect the Republicans to help them to
destroy the Democratic party, and then
reach the temperance millennium. There
WAS no hope of reaching the Prolihi
ion leaders, but he thought that the
thinking people engaged in the temper

This little job finished, anti-rrohibi.
tionists will not be allowed to sit on

and the Pro'ibitinnists will rule for
ever. "Rtsolvtd, that the saints shall
possess the earth. Resolved, second,
that we are the saints"

a Democratic paper saws:

If Blaine were to be elected and his
Jingoism should involve the country III
foreign war, he could at least take
consolation in the thought that his
personal courage would not again be
subjected to the test to which it was
put at the outbreak of the Rebellion.
AS President he would avoid the neces-
sity OF confessing by the purchase of
the services of substitute that the

waistcoat was not the heart of an An

Blaine, after his defeats in 1876 and

behind him, and now that he has been
nominated his conduct in those cam
l.aigns ought to send every anti Blaine
man to the front for muster in the
Blaine ranks.-Chicago 1nter-O Ocean.

news OF the very sad accident which
happened to our worthy town clerk.

putting hay in the barn at the time the
storm came. They all went in the
barn, but were in only 4 few moments
when the barn began to shake and
crack. Therefore they all fled for the
house, which all reached safely except
Crafts daughter, Cora, who about ten
steps from the barn was killed by fall
ing timber. When found, life was al
ready gone. Her head was fearfully
battered in, and one arm was broken
Cora was Il bright girl, nearly fourteen
years old; was born in Marine, Wash.
ington county, Minn., where Mr.. Graf

nesday at Up. m. was largely attended.
and conducted by Rev. Buttleman, of
Adrian, who had 4 very able sermon.
His text was taken, Revelation, 14th
chap, 18th verse, "Blessed are the dead
who die in the J.ord.'' Mr.. and Mrs.
Graf have the sympathy of all who
know them in their sad hour Of afflic-
ton.
Mr.. Crafts loss is about $3.50. Besides
the barn his kitchen WAS blown down
also.

A FRUIT- Static.

Minnesota, as the Advance claimed
ten years ago, will come to the front as
one of the great fruit States.-Worth-
ington ADVANCE.
The ADVANCE is correct. Minnesota
is bound to become one of the q cal
fruit States. We have never seen finer
strawberries than those raised by Mr..
James Taylor, of this place. Mr.. T. is

whereof he speaks when he asserts that
the soil and climate OF Southwest Min
nesota are especially adapted to the

In an alley off Griswold street, shortly
after noon yesterday, several people saw
a middle aged man and woman sitting
fiat on the snow, while the lap of the lat.
ter was fairly covered with greenbacks
which the pair were counting. The pres
ence of spectators did not stop the count
nor seem to annoy the counters. but after
the pile had been handled over, bill by
bill, the man called out:
'Durn my buttons, but we've missed it
again!7
What are you d0ing?" asked one of the
spectators.
"Why, I've drawed 5000 from the bank.
and we are counting it over to see if it's
all right"
"And isn't ity'
"No. | counted fust and made 500.
Then the old woman counted and made
$500. Then | counted and made 1920, and
$685."
''And I'm right, . said the woman.
II don't believe i'll" he replied. "You
never went to skule day in YOUR life.
and what do you know about countingr'
And when did you go to skule9" She
holly demanded. If thar's 5000 in that
pile I'll eat every dollar of It'll"
"Pll count it for you," said one of the
spectators, and in about five minutes he
announced that the snm total was an
even 5000.
A second was asked to count it, and he
made the total the same.
THAT'S all right" said the old man as
he stuffed the ''wad" into his overcoat
pocket and rose up.
81 don't know about that!'' added the
wife. ''S'posen we git home and find we
are $50 shOrt?"
You come along!" he commanded,
Don't you see that we have both of us
made show of our ignorance? Pm a
thinkin' of runnin' fur the Legislature,
and you are boss of two sewin' Societies.

A Modern BOrgia.


A woman has just been sent to prison
In the Hague, Holland, accused of series
OF crimes which far exceeds Troppmann's
assassinations. A washerwoman named
Van der Linde, Of Leyden, insured or
caused to be insured the lives of all her
relatives, paid the premiums, poisoned
the insured and pocketed the amount of
the policies. Some weeks ago DR.. Rut-
gers Van der Loef, of Leyden, was sum-
moned to the residence of a workingman
named Frankenhulzen, whose wife and
child had just died and who
was himself severely suffering.
The physician had the workingman
taken to the hospital and recognized the
symptoms of poisoning by arsenic. He so
informed one of the relatives of the vic
tins, detective, and charged him to re-
port the matter to the police. This de-
tectlYe was none other than Van der
Llnde, the woman's husband. The poor
man gave the police all the information
asked OF him without suspectng that it
would result in the arrest of his wife.
After . thorough investigation the au-
thorities had large number of bodies ex-
humed. All the corpses bore the most
positive traces of poisoning. The woman
Van der Linde had murdered 80 persons,
all relatives of her.

Sullivan Meets His Match.

OtUttLtfIs
John l.. Sullivan sat near a miner
while on train between Helena and Gar
rison. The miner had with him small
mask OF whisky. He was travelling alone
and wanted drink. He pulled out the
flask and said:
lines?'
mo" said Sullivan, with an offensive
emphasis, 81 don't drink"
Il hope you'll excuse me-" said the
young mar, II meant no Otfense."
You shouldn't be so fresh,1 was the
reply; you shouldn't talk to men YOU
don't know"
Soon afterward the young man took an
other drink, and in a spirit of levity asked
the champion a second time to take a
drink, but did so in very respectful
way.
you're a cur" said Sullivan, "and Tu
throw you out OF the window"
Attempting to suit the action to the
word, sullivan arose, and was about to
take mold of the man with the bottle
when, quick as flash, the latter put his
hand to'his hip pocket, and, resolutely
facing the champion, said:
y GU - ~, you may be the cham
pIon OF the world, but you can't run this
territory nor bully me. If you put me
out OF that window III put six bullets in
to you While you're doing it,
sullivan at once resumed his seat, and
Mccoy and others interfered to prevent
any further disturbance. Mccoy explain
ed the matter to the young man by stating
that Sullivan had just lost his hat and
oYercoat off the tram, and he was so an
cry at the loss that he couldn't control his
temper. He further stated that Sullivan
was afraid of being shot in Montana, and
asked the offended young man to avoid
any further trouble.
