SERIOUS AND MYSTERIOUS.
A South minneapolis Scandal OF
Rather KOhuSt PROPORTIONS.

South Minneapolis is all torn up over
huge scandal which has just come to light
there, and rumor has it that Il number OF
prominent business men and young men OF
good standing are dreadiug disclosures which
will ruin them, so far as character goes.
yesterday morning Mr.. Stats, residing at
$40 Fourteenth avenue south, came into
police headquarters and sought aid in finding
his daughter Jennie, II years of age, who
had disappeared Wednesday morning. He
thought she had started for school, but could
not say positively. Detective King took hold
OF the case, and yesterday afternoon ut 8
o'clock located the missing girl on Twenty
second street, near Bloomington avenue. He
at once went there and found Jennie Stats
and MarShie Sylvester, aged Is, in an out
house, where they claimed to have been since
Wednesday night. They had eaten nothing,
they said. and were in very weak condition.
The girls were taken home, and told story
which, if true, is almost without a parallel.
They claim that they were enticed away by
q man who is now under arrest and whose
name cannot be learned, who took them to
the Short Line bridge and Murphys park
where two other men attempted to outrage
them.
story, arrested two men, the one whom the
girls say enticed them away and one OF the
men who is alleged to have committed the
assault. The affair is quite mysterious
one. and it is certain that numerous other
arrests will follow. The statement that the
two girls were enticed away from
the Adams school is incorrect, as
they have not been there since Mon
day. They were at home Tuesday night
Mr. Stats says. but early Wednesday morn
ing disappeared, and he saw nothing more Of
them until they we found in the clubhouse,
worn out with hunger and badly frightened
1t was stated last evening that the Sylvester
girl was responsible for the absence OF the
Stats child, but what authority there is for
the statement no one seems to know. The
affair will be fully Investigated.
For 4 long time past crowd
of wel-dressed loafers has held
forth near the Adams school building, and
made it point to insult every young girl
that passed in case she was alone. Some are
Of the opinion that the two girls in this case
were not enticed away and misused, as they
claim. Be that as it may, the two girls are
now at their respective homes, and as soon as
Assistant County Attorney Jam ison returns
will swear out complaints, charging assault
with intent to outrage.

Radical" Mobile Editor of Reconstruc-
ton times His paper was the first in the
south, edited by white man, to advocate
universal suffrage. the New Orleans Tri-
bune, edited by colored men, being the pio-
neer in that movement Of the southern
press And Mr.. Grifin's stand on this
question was logical one. He is native
of Georgia, and was driven out of that
Stale in 1865 for his anti-slavery
principles. He saw one great cause which
he espoused in its weakness, triumph in
his early manhood, and now with as much
strength, vigor and enthusiasm as he had
third of a century ago, he fully expects TO
live to see the Republican party, through
both its state and national conventions,
placed solidly and unequivOcally on the
anti-saloon platform. Mr. Griffin was a
candidate for the United States senatorship
from Alabama at the time Gen. Willard
Warner was chosen, and On the first ballot
received only two votes less than Gen.
Warner Fearing then that third candi-
date whose principles were in doubt on
some Of the vital questions then affecting
the South, might possibly be elected, MIR.
Griffin withdrew and Gen. Warner was

OF COURSE.

We had occasion to visit Wichita on bus
mess last Saturday The more one sees of
Wichita the more he wonders The count
less business blocks that have been erected
the past summer and many that are in
course Of erection, are temples Of magniti-
cence not surpassed in beauty and design in
the west. The marvellous growth of this
city must indecd be supernatural. You
cannot conceive the extent Of improve
ments only by personal observation. We
had not taken in the city for
eight menths until cur last visit and
we were thoroughly convinced that
even the EAGLE Is very mild and tame in
its assertions regarding the prosperity Of
that city. 1t is interesting TO stand at the
junction Of Douglas and Main and watch
the surging multitude to and fro. You
can see them on foot, horseback, in car
riages, and crowded street cars In the
course OF our rambles we visited the Cor
ner, Farnum s. Davis spice mills, and were
astonished at the growth of this establish
ment in the few months past. We also
visited the EAGLE Office, which was all
torn up and in the hands of skilled
mechanics, who will bring beauty and
convenience out Of chaos and disorder

CASH CITY.

4. W. Smith, Cash City. Kansasl
"Did you hear of that birth down in
Clark county, Kansas? No. Well, about
six weeks ago town was born that is now
in a healthy, fiourishing condition. Clark
county, you know, is down in southern
Kansas, one of the border counties on the
Indian Territory line, and has, including
the new place, but three towns. Cash
City is the name of the new town, and l
hope that before long it will lead the coun-
ty. The name has no particular financial
meaning. il has been selected on account OF
the founder of the town, Mr.. Cash Hen
dersOn. Although not two months old
Cash City is entirely surveyed, the streets
are all named, there is hotel that
would do credit to any small place, and
three drug stores. Why so many drug
stores Well, Kansas is prohibition, you
know, and we have drug stores to provide
against accident. At present the popula-
ton is about two hundred and fifty, but
people are coming in and real estate taking
a decided stand in the market. The sur
rounding country is principally agrlcul-
tural, and the wheat acreage is rapidly in
creasing. By next year we shall have
railroad, and two others are surveyed and
will begin wsrk at once. Politics has not
yet taken hold Of the municipal govern
ment, as we have had no local dissentions
nor prodigal waste Of town funds by dis
honest board Of aldermen. Yes it is very
possible that such things may occur, but
not for some time. By spring we expect
to be ahead of ST. Louis and catch up with
Chicago in the fall-that is, unless we have
big fire. Come down and see the town. -

making, as prscticed by the city, has

is made by private parties.
This will always be the case with every
