CURRENCY OF THE CURB.

Hon. W. Fl. Campbell of Litchfeld cast
the light of his countenance about the city
Yesterday. His friends found him very
sanguine of his ultimate appointment as
marshal of Minnesota but he absolutely
refused to stand treat on the strength of it.
II am not dealing in futures at the present
time" he said.
1t is said Mayor Pillsbury is not salts
fed with the investigation" as far as it
has gone. 1t is not to be expected. The
prosecution has closed its case, and yet
dozens of men are Boosting of what they
know and of their immunity from summons
by subpoena. Such being the state of
affairs, and with street talk as rife as
ever, it is not to be expected that our good
old executive, with his straightforward
Baptist ideas, would be satisfied.

The register of the West hotel last even

Chicago" 1t required less than five min
utes to ascertain Mr.eStileS was vice presi-
dent of the Van Depocle Electric Power
company, with which the motor line has
made a contract. In few moments the
smile of President Small expanded over the
exchange and the two men met. They
blandly refused to talk, and together adj
i0urned to an upstairs room. 1t is presum-
able that electric developments on the
motor line may now be daily expected.

THAT building reminds me of the tower

neck by looking up at the Lumbermen's
exchange yesterday. ''They must be try
ing to reach the sky" He seemed right.

dication of halt. Ii the frost doesn't

ST do not like to speak against my SEX"
said the Countess Modjeska Yesterday, ''but
l prefer an audience largely composed of
gentlemen to matinee of ladies. Why?
Because it is natural that l should be in
spired and encouraged by enthusiasm and
applause. I do not say the ladies are not
appreciative, not at all, But then, you
know, ladies do not applaud. They enjoy
in silence, bnt never applaud. Ihave heard
comedians say they can never get off puns
and jokes before an audience of ladies, be-
cause they do not take them up very
quickly"

Yesterday Coroner Hill was notified that
the body of man had been found in the
alley running from Twentieth to Twenty
first avenues north, and between Washing
ton avenue and Twenty-tirst street. He
forthwith visited the place and found the
deceased, who was removed to ConnelIy'S
morgue, to be E. W. Brookins, farmer
from Crystal Lake township. The cause
of death before the autopsy. which will be
conducted to-day, is merely matter of
speculation, but it is thought that the man
died from natural causes. The deceased
leaves family who reside on his farm.

WHEAT AND FLOUR.

Will Rum and Store.
The indications are there will be 1, 760
cars of wheat on side tracks in Minneapolis
this morning. Yesterday morning the num-
Der was l, 767 against 1.7S5 for Tuesday, and
1,799 for Monday. Yesterday the receipts
Of cars were about 315, and the disposition
1928. OF 462 cars due to arrive yesterday,
it was estimated that only $50 were received
here, the remainder lying between Merriam
junction and Kasota, on all lines. 1.-The
Indications are" says the Northwestern
Miller, THAT the receipts will be over
million week for month yet, but shippers
say that outside millerS are talking about
prices being too high, as well as of the
probability of a considerable decline before
the holidays, so that shipments show no
signs Of growing larger soon. Bad weather
the past week and present threatening indi-
cations point to lighter marketing in the
country on account of bad roads, but the
fall work is pretty we'll finished and great
many farmers must sell their grain at once.
The close of navigation will cause the early
filing of Duluth elevators, which is eX-
pected to overload the bulls there and de-
press prices"
In reviewing the work of the mills, the
Miller will say tomorrow:
The milling situation in Minneapolis has
not materially changed from what it has been
for several weeks, still continuing decidedly
unsatisfactory. The close of last week wit
messed no particular change among the mills,
the output being about the same. The flour
production of the week was l64, 106 barrels
averaging 1881 barrels daily-aganst 1872
654 barrels the preceding week, and 100000
for the corresponding period in 1884. There
were eight mills that showed an increase, and
thirteen decrease, while two were idle. The
inclination to take advantage of present IA
vorable conditions for the operation Of the
mills is becoming more apparent and pro-
nounced, and some time may elapSe before
the -four output is very largely curtailed.
During the first part of the current
week, five mills, representing
capacity of 1850 barrels were shut down,
while there are good prospects OF others go
ing down Saturday. Two of these are to re-
sumo work Monday. Although the flour pro-
duction next week may fall off some, it will
probably not be affected very seriously.
Millers feel that it is better for them to run
and store at home what -four they can not
dispose of than to shut down at the pr es-
ent time and try to run later, when low water,
anchor ice and other difficulties are almost
sure to overtake them. In pursuance of this
view most of our mills have already begun to
store flour here, but the lack of storage room
has been Il drawback to such a movement on
very large scale. To facilitate this matter
several firms have decided to erect store
houses of large capacities, one company hav-
ing already commenced on one of $4,000 bar
rels. The -four market remains very dull.

The Reason Whx.

An exchange discourses upon the sub
ject Of advertising as follows MY son,
there's nothing on earth SO mysteriouslF
funny as a newspaper advertisement.
The prime, first, last and all the time,
object Of an advertisement is to draw
custom. It is not, was not, and never
viii be designed for any other human
purpose. SO the merchant waits till the
busy season comes and his store is so
fun Of customers he can't get his hat off
and then he rushes to the newspapers
and puts in his advertisement. When
the dull season gets along and there is
no trade and he wants TO sell goods 30
bad he can't pay his rent, he takes out
his advertisement That, some of them
do, but occasionally a level-headed
merchant puts in a bigger one and
scoops all the business, while his neigh
bors are making mortgages to pay
the gas bill. There are times when you
couldn't stop people from buying
everything in the store if you
planted cannon behind the door, and
that's the time the advertisement is sent
out on its holy mission. It makes light
work for the advertisement, for chalk
sign on the side wall could do all that
was needed and have half holiday six
days in the week, but who wants to favor
an advertisement. They are built to do
hard work, and should be sent out in
the dull days when customer has to be
knocked down with hard facts, and
kicked insensible with bankrupt reduc-
tons and dragged in with irresistible
slaughter of prices before he will spend
a cent.
That's the aim and end Of an ndver-
tisement, my son, and if you ever open
store, don't try to get them to come
when they are already sticking out Of
the windows, but give them your adver-
tisement right between the eyes in a dull
season, and you will wax rich and own
a fast horse, and perhaps be able to
smoke good cigar once or twice a
year. Write this down where you will
fall over il every day. The time to draw
business is when you want business, and
not when you have more business than
you can attend to already.

How Insects Breathe.

If we take any moderately large an-
sect, say a wasp or a hornet, We can see,
even with the naked eye, that a series Of
small spot-likc marks runs along either
side Of the body These apparent spots,
which are generally eighteen Or twenty
in number, are in fact the apertures
through which air is admitted into the
system, and are generally formed ID such
a manner that no extraneous matter can
by any possibility ind entrance. Some
times they are furnished with pair Of
horny lips, which can be opened and
closed at the viii Of the insect; in other
cases they are densely fringed with stiff
interIacing bristles, forming a filter,
which allows air, and air alone, to pass.

A TALE OF RUE.

OF all the tired passengers of the mid
night express bound eastward over the
Old Colony road, perhaps there was not
one more thoroughly used up than John
Coleman, Esq, Of the law firm Of Cole
man s. Riggs, Ashland, Massachusetts.
From the morning Of November /, when
he had started for San Francisco, till the
evening Of this December /, he had been
constantly on the wing. To aggravate
his fatigue, the trip, in business view,
had been highly unsatisfactory, if not
unnecessary.
But as he drew nearer home his scowl
vanished, and the lines about his firm
mouth softened. Stretching his long
suffering limbs across the seat, he spread
the Egening Journal between his aching
eyes and the glare of the bobbing lamps,
and indulged in tender speculations.
How would Rue look when he appeared
before her next morning, two days earlier
than he had promiseda She might be
watering her plants il the bay-window,
and he would walk in nonchalantly, a
if he had left her the evening before
and say, "Good morning, Rue, \ and she

ancient rights of Spain, held at Seville yes

the inhabitants of Barcelona are preparing

knowing full well that buster is useless as
far as Germany is concerned. The expected

A Baptist Minister Gets Away IRON q
Second Prosecution for Bigamy.

LOWELL, Mass, Aug. 20.
John w. Washburn, Baptist minister, has
just fed to Canada to escape prosecution. He
was sent from Lowell by the Home Mission
ary Society to be educated for the ministry
at Waterville, Me. There he was detected
in the robbery of the Catholic church, and
expelled. He married Maine lady and was
subsequently married in Vermont. He was
sent to prison for bigamy, duped the prison
officials by pretending piety and secured a
pardon. He then went west, married third
wife, induced her to transfer her bank account
to him, brought her to Lowell and deserted
her. taking all her money. Mrs. Washburp
No. 3, was sent back to her western home by
her friends. With his crimes known, the
bigamist had the presumption to apply for the
pastorate of the Worthen Street Baptist
church of Lowell and actually duped another
to accept his pastoral services. His career
was exposed to the church and Washburn
fed.
