Among the Commission Men.

Yesterday cash wheat sold at Milwaukee at
7412c. This fact in itself is sufficient proof that
the position taken by the GLOBE on the question
of prices is not misleading one. There is no
doubt that prices just now are very low, and in
comparison to last year, ridiculously low If
any one had ventured a year ago to-day, when
No. hard commanded a bid on the ST. Paul
board of Sl.13, to predict that by next harvest
No. l hard would so a begging at soc, he would
have been thought a crank or fit
subject for lunatic asylum. Prices
are low, very low; but shown last week
there seems no help for it and the sooner the
farmer makes his mind up to this the
better. But the circumstances are not so very
desperate after all and perhaps the following
figures may be some comfort to farmers who
have not thought the matter over. Suppose

by and large we were pretty badly off, All our

captain had couple dozen bottles of AYER's

Hon. Geo. c. HazeIton.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Ex Congress
man Geo. G.. Hazelton being inter
viewed here on Monday shea his wis
dom on the situation in these words:
cit is well understood that the democ
racy are dong some grand figuring in
our state, and if reports be true are
going to spend some money there. 1t
will be time and money wasted. Wis
conSin will most certainly cast its vote
for Blaine in spite of all the figuring,
calculating, or fine work that they
can do. Their talk about the German
detection is the veriest nonsense, at
least it is in my section, where | have
made the most careful inquiries, and
can not find single German repub
lican who has changed. The Germans
OF Wisconsin always have been large
ly democra .ic, but they have received
no accessious this year. Speaking
of Pounds action, he said that the
gentleman was trying to find some
pendent republicans to back hl m,
but SO far, although he was at the
head of the movement, he was alone
in it; nobody followed him.
Then you feel certain of the state?'
was asked.
Yes, we will carry it by 20, 900 ma
iority The prohibition vote will not
exceed 1000 at the utmost. | know
many of the most fanatcal, and they
will not throw away then votes on st
John or Hastings just for the sake of
turning the state over to the democ-
racy."
Mr.. Hazelton thinks that his old
district will be redeemed this year and
carried by the republicans by at least
z, 300 majority, the influences that de
feated him not entering into the can
Yass this year.

DAME BRIlN DOWNED.
TerrihIs Struggle Of 1--WE Youu. stu
dents with n Canadian Bear.

TORONTO, Ont, Sept. Ii Two stu
dents from Syracuse, Hamrd Nielc and
De Witt ParShall, visited Fronteuac
county recently TO hunt bears. They
went to White lake, and about
O'Clock III the evening, rs they were
getting out of their boat on the shore,
they were startled by a noise in the
thicket not dozen yards away. On
looking around they behcld bear aud
two cubs. The mother Immediately
rose on her hind legs, her head and
neck Just showing above a fallen tree
Instantly Parshall seized his gun and
fired. and down went Dame Bruin.
Parshall lcaped ont Of the boat ana
ram toward the spot where She fell,
thinking that he had shot her through
the head; hut ITO sooner had he reach
eC the tree than she appeared mt the
the rsot of it walking erect, and with
part Of her lower jaw carried away.
As quick as lightning she was upon
him, and quicker still Parshall was
upon the ground. But he hugged her
closely, and seized her hair in his
teeth. so that she could not get at his
face and throat with her claws. Her
mouth was harmless. Niele hearing
the cries Of his companion, was soon
at his side, rifle IN hand, but he dared
not fire iuto the bear, rs ono minute
Parshall vas on top and next the bear
was uppcnnost. They rolled about
on the ground for several minutes
Seeing that his gun was Of no use,
Nicle threw it down, and seizing
huge club. watched his opportunity,
and gave Bruin terrific blow across
the back which almost paralyzcd her
for a second or two. during which
brief interval Parshall drew his knife,
and buried il ID her body just below
one OF the fore paws. Another ter
rife struggle then commenced. The
bear succeeded in grabbing Parshall
by the shoulder and hurled him from
her distance of ten feet. He fell
upon a knot and hurt his side. Viele
being nearest TO her she rushed at him,
when he ducked and, seizing her by
the middle. raised her upon his shout
der and called upon Parshall to take
his gun and shoot her. The latter got
his gun, but before he could get close
to the brute, she had ripped all the
clothes off from Viele's back, and was
attempting to sink her teeth into his
flesh. Taking quick aim, Parshall
shot q bullet through her head, and
Viele held her upon his shoulders
until she kicked her last. Both young
men are very powerful, and either
would prove match for a small bear
At the conclusion Of their fight they
looked to their wounds, and it was
found that Vele's back was slightly
lacerated, and that Parshall, besides
having a badly sprained ankle, had
several scratches on the back Of his
neck and head. His side was also in
jured. The animal, they thought,
would weigh about $50 pounds.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 23.-The New

ington Critic the following blow be-
tween the eyes:
When tie government began IN
1881 to make a thorough inyestlga-
ton concerning the frauds committed
by the Star route rings, Thos. j.
Br dy cast an anchor to the windward
by investing part of his money IN a
Washington newspaper. While emu
merating few days ago some of the
notorious persons who were talking
and working for Blaine, Dorsey, Kel
logg, Joyce and the forger Wlnslow
beng in the list, we remarked that
Brady had not joined the band.
1t appears that we were in error on
this point. Brady has not tax n the
stump, it is true, but one of his
Washington newspapers, the channel
through which he poured, day after
day and month after month, the foul
est abase upon every one who was
earnestly engaged in the work OF
breaking up the ring and purify ing

porting Blaine with great enthusiasm
