Another E,n1grant For Canada.

WATERFOWL, Dak., Dec. 31.-Charles s. Campbell, probate judge of Codington coun- ty. left Watertown about one month ago pre- sumably on a visit east. He has not return ed. Developments in his office indicate that he will not come back of his own accord Campbell's abuse of public trust and conf dence it is said has been very great. He is charged with appropriating money belonging to farmer near here, part of which was cash in hand for investment and the balance money collected. He is also charged with appropriating over $500 probate money be- longing to orrhans and minors. Judge Campbell was last heard from at Chicago about ten days ago. He will probably step over into Canada, as his parents live at Aylmer, Ontario. It is thought by those who know Campbell best that he had nearly 5000 with him at the time of his departure and that he had spent over s1 ,O0O in fast liv- ing during the past year.

THE DRY GOODS CLERKS
To Re Cut Down in Their Wages
 New Years Gift.


 NEW YORK, December 31.-Concerning the proposed reduction of salaries in the dry goods trade John H. Reed, of Bates, Reed & Cooley, dry goods, said: ''Yes, there will be 8 good many changes at the beginning of the year among the employees in the dry goods houses. Business has not been so good and employers are reducing their working forces and salaries. In our case we are reducing salaries from ten to twenty per cent. We are not giving such large guarantees as we did formerly for the reason that last year some of the men did not earn their guaran- tees. I think reductions are being generally carried on throughout the trade" William P. Jeffrey, of E. s. Jeffrey & Co.,, said: "We have made no great changes. Some men have been weeded out and others hired; but we are not making any great re- ductions.
 John Clafin, of H. B. Claain & Co.,, said: .'Of course reductions are going to be made, but do not think to any great extent. Some men will get more than they did last year, but think reduction of ten per cent will be made all around. I think this will be found to be the case throuohout all trades D
