Badly Mired.

Minneapolis Market Record.
1t is seldom that a worse blunder is ever
made in attempting to prove something from
Sunday which makes an argument on the
probable termination of the Northwestern
Traffic association, based upon Secretary
Sturtevants chamber OF commerce report
The figures quoted from that report are the
aggregate shipments east, west, north, south
or in any other direction that freight went by
rail from Minneapolis during the year 1884,
whether it was -four, wheat, merchandise,
lumber, soapgrease, immigrants movables
or grindstones. The figures used are no
more appropriate for use in connection with
pool matters than the number of knock
downs in a sIugging match would &c in a
calculation on the transit of Venus. The
Pioneer says:
II sny of the roads on April I, 1885, should be
dissatisfied with the workings OF the pool they
were at liberty to withdraw, afte giving the Gus
tomary sixty days notice. Still
another reason for this dissolution or reorgani-
cation of the pool is the entrance Of the Wiscon-
sin Central to ST. Paul.
The facts are the pool is to continue in
force two years, or until April next year with
no power Of withdrawal under the contract
By any road giving sixty days. notice or any
other notice during the two years. 1t was
stipulated that another award Of percent
ages might be made By arbitration at the end
of one year. Instead Of the Mime
apolis & St. Louis being unable
to get its share Of business as
claimed by the Pioneer Press, it is ahead OF
the percentage given it and has been divert
ing freight TO the other roads during the last
two months TO even them up for the end Of
the first year, which fact will necessarily fig
ure in the arguments for new percentages.
So far as thp Wisconsin Central disturb
ance goes. that was all provided for in form
ing the pool by clause that authorizes the
arbitrator to make percentage for any new
road that might be able to compete for pool
business. AS yet, that road not having the
proper Eastern outlet is not in position to
make the demand.

''Talking of accidents, now just hold on !;

from Minnesota they were taken to
Fishers Landing, now Fort Thomson. They
were afraid of the Sioux, and soon hoated
down the river to Nebraska, where most of
them have been retained. The Sioux fol

James McHenry Hires Some Telling Shots
at THE U. 5. Rau.cay Management.
NEW YORK, March 16.-"The United States
should be the most money-making invest
ments in the world,n said James McHenry
in an interview tonight, Sand under prop er
management they would be, but
lder autocratic management, strength
ened by neglect of duty on the part
of boards of directors. the system is being
sunk in sea of corruption. The United
States affords an ideal field for railroad specu-
lation, but Encouragement has paralyzed its
credit and driven capitalists who have lost
all confidence in their arrangements to
seek investments elsewhere. Nobody
now has any confidence in official
reports of even those railroad companies in
the United States that used to be the most
popular. Instead of considering stockhold-
ers who are owners of roads before issuing
new obligations, raising or expanding
money, as is done in every country in
Europe, in Canada, and every place but the
United States, the managers here consult
nobody but themselves.

TOreJu Girl.

Ho,c a Drummer Won the Hand of a
Lorety Girl.
Once upon time there was a drummer
who met lovely girl. She belonged to a fam
lily who had everything they wanted, and she
was the one woman to whom he never
wanted to sell anything. She returned his
affection So novel was the sensation of
meeting a force he could not cope with, so
entirely strange the feeling of being con :
quered and subdued, that he could not tell
the old gentleman anything about it. 1t was
case where he could not combat opposition,
and even his ingenious brain could not fash
ion any plot which would overwhelm the evil
dent prediction the family had against
him. But she loved him, and that was all.
She told her father. The old gentleman's
hair rose in wrath He stormed.
'.What, let you marry that blow-pipe, that
swiveLtongued, brass-cheeked thing! Never !
You may die an old maid. You may select
a husband from the dime museum, but this
copper gas generator, never"
but. pa, want to marry him."
"Look here, child. If that fellow ever
comes in 10 talk to me about YOU I'll throw
him out the window I'll-rll-why, CON
found it, girl, haven't had my ears talked
off By him about his darned samples and
stock? Don't know himl Don't you let
him come and talk to me. If he can talk
like that about business / don't know what
he'll do about love"
"But, pa, will marry him; you may as
well let him ask you
s'All right I'll listen to him as long as
can and when get worn out I'll kill him"
she told her lover OF the interview. and he
only remarked: .''Never mind; I'll fix
him.
So the drummer went into the old mans
library. The irate father sat In an easy chair,
waved bis hand To the drummer, and fixed
himself in an attitude Of despairing resigna-
ton. The drummer had bis hat in bis hand.
There was silence The old man was aston
ished. Still the drummer spoke not.
''Welll" said the old fellow. No re-
spouse.
The drummer tvirled his hat in bis hand
and kept his eyes on the floor.
Aren't you going TO speak at aliE'' yelled
the old fellow Never word from the
drummer. After a minutes silence the old
fellow said meekly:
E'Look here, young man. You want to
/ marry fnY daughter. Take Der. II you are
capable Of keeping your mouth shut 50 long
for her sake you must love her. But-well
you've got me. Take her and be happy"
THANK you" said the drummer. GOOD

LAKE CRYSTAL, Mimi, March 16. Fire
broke out at O'Clock last night in John D.
Thomas frame block, occupied by Perry &
Humphrey, general merchants, and Miss
Lebarron, milliner. The buildings were a
total loss, but the stock was partially saved.
The wind blew perfect gale from the north
west
At one time it seemed as if the whole
town would be destroyed, but the untiring
efforts Of our citizens confined the fire to
these buildings. The list of insurance is as
follows, in J. W. Lewis agency:
J. D. Thomas, on buildings, $1,000 in
Hartford; Perry 81 Humphrey, on stock,
81, 900 in Hartford, 1000 in Connecticut,
81, 900 in German of Freeport, $500 in North
British $500 in Sun of London, and 81, 900
in company not learned. There was no
insurance on the millinery goods OF Miss
LebarroD. The buildings were estimated to
be worth about two thousand dollars. 1t is
impossible to ascertain the loss on stock at
this writing. This is the first disastrous fire
that ever visited our village.

Ever since the Continental Express COM
pany was refused transportation over the
Omaha and Northwestern lines to Chicago it
has been in dormant condition, and by
many it is supposed to have given up the
ghost. Even those familiar with its organi-
cation, and others deeply interested with it,
have thought it was failure. or had already
failed, but should things continue to work as
tremendously as they are doing at
present the Northern Pacific COM
pany will have through express
line from Portland, Or, to New York.
The Continental Express company is a
Northern Pacific institution or near so, as it
Is backed by that corporations capital, and
