WONDERFUL LUxURIANcE.

Among the natives making hay is almost I'M
known, and is not fed, except to work horses
in the towns, but the Iowans settling here
have been putting it up for the New Orleans
market. where it has been selling this winter
al 1913 per ton. On the prairie over which
the stock ranged they cut and put up 3 tons
per acre. Some Of these grasses remain green
throughout the winter, and perpetuatly green
pastures can be had as easily as not. The ma
tive cattle betake themselves in winter, in
large numbers, to the swamps where the
switch cane abounds and upon that they
get very fat. In these swamps, too, hogs
thrive through the winter.

It was prominent city attorney who,
while making speech in a SANDER suit re-
Gently, remarked: 'Gentlemen of the jury,
these improbable epiJaphs never left the lips

The premature announcement of the mar
riage of Lieut. John NJ. Hoy to an estimable
young lady of East Minneapolis yesterday,
may be ascribed to desire to see the Eeuten-
ant ensconsed by the bonds of holy wedlOck.
1t was genuine case of ''the wish was father
to the thought" and may he live long and
prosper.
The only way we know of to stop the phe
nomenal growth of St. Paul and Minneapolis
is to let each other make up the others di-

While Col. Hubbard as general manager of
the Exposition is in one sense an employee,
yet in another he is guest coming from
Southern cline and should be warmed by the
sun Of genial hospitality. The Minneapolis
paper that has given rise to the rumor that
he writes poetry for the Daily metropolitan
should be rebuked for its gratuitous insult to
a gentleman of undoubted integrity and rare
personal endOwments.
The outcome of the mysterious disappear
ance of the wife of ]. j. Campbell is that she
has given it out that she wont live with him
until he supports her. Mr.. Campbell has been
equally free in extending cordial invitation
to her to stay away if she wants to. The veil
can appropriately be drawn at this point.
1t is unfortunate that the lack of a hall

from a practical standpoint. Capt P. P.
SwenSon was next called upon, and in re-
Spouse delivered an address in which he
predicted Democratic success in the present
campaign. AS the three cheers that were
rendered the captain upon closing died
away, George NJ. Harbitz came forward
and delivered a ringing speech, IN
which he urged the necessity of unity. The
Democratic party. he said, had proved itself
the friend of the Scandnavians and the
workingmen as well. The present crisis,
he thought, was an important one In the
history of the state and he urged all who
desired legislation in behalf OF the people,
and not of the dictation of political bosses. to
band themselves together to carry out the
principles of democracy. Peter Anderson
made the closing address. which evoked
great enthusiasm, and the meeting adj
jOurned with three cheers for the Demo-
cratic ticket, to meet again next WedneS-

Police Social News.

''SimOnSon, called out Capt. Bosworth
of the East Minneapolis police station
Tuesday morning as lie went over the roll
call. The valiant officer. whose AlbinO
complexion and peaked head have made
him a conspicuous figure on the force, did
not respond.
''Simonson!' again called the captain.
No response.
Faith, an metinks he's 'ployed out wild de
tra-la-loos they make us go through now"
was the remark of a valiant officer, of Hiber
MAN descent, half by the way of comment
and defense.
But Officer SimOnSon not only did not
answer. but it was aScertained that he had
deserted his wife, leaving only brief note
and his old clothes to remind her of the
marriage altar. 1t appears that he drew
his months salary Monday and departed
for Chicago in company with gay lady
with whom he had become acquainted at
the state fair.

Reunitei at Last.

In the district court yesterday a marriage
license was issued TO T. Hanson and NJ. j.
Hanson. There was nothing extraordinary
in the plain license. but the uneasiness of
the groom led to an investigation, which de-
veloped the fact that It. Hanson and NJ. j.
Hanson were husband and wife once before.
Some difficulty arose between them and a
divorce was applied for by one of the par
ties. 1t was granted, and the pair started
out on different roads once more. But it
seems that love still fingered in the breast
of each, and after being separated for a
considerable time mutual understanding
was arrived at. whereby the burden of life
was to be taken up again as husband and
wife, and soon the merry wedding bells
will ring out again for two hearts that beat

Heavy DefalCatiOn.

HARTFORD. Conn.,, Sept. 7.-Nothing
has been heard of Thomas F. Plunkett. who
disappeared last week. The directors of
the Union Manufacturing company, of
which he was the treasurer, to-day petit
toned for receiver and one was appointed.
The company is engaged in the manufac-
ture of cotton goods 1t is not known
whether Plunkett has issued any OF the
company's paper, but as he is suspected OF
having done so, temporary receivership
was decided on, in order to avoid complica-
items. The extent of Plunkett'S defalcation
is not known, but about S75, 900 of paper is
traced TO him already, though it may not
all have been negotiated.

A SUIT AGAINST THE JOURNAL.
Mary K. Barrett sues the Paper for
SIJ.OOO Damages.

Mary K. kaErett sues the Faper lOr
$4,000 Damages.
The Minneapolis Evening Journal gives
evidence of its greatness by coming out in
a SIS. 900 libel suit. brought by Mary E.
Barrett. of this city. She alleges that on
Feb. 6, 1856, in the regular issue of the
paper there was printed grossly false,
malicious and libelouS statement concern
ing herself. The words referred to are in
an article headed Charges of Arson" in
which Sophia LinStrom, while on the wit
ness stand III Omaha, Neb., made the state
ment that Mary and John Barrett had
rented house in South Minneapolis last
fall, and placed an insurance of $500 on
the furniture, which they afterward re-
moved and then burned the place. The
LinStrOm woman also stated that Mary Bar
rett opened another store and burned it after
putting a heavy insurance on it, and then
made proposal to her (the LinStrom
woman) to burn this one also. The Bar
rett woman denies that she was guilty of
the crimes charged, and wants damages as
stated. The case will be an interesting one.

aged 63 years, carpenter, shot and fatally
injured his vie, Mary, on Pennsylvania
street, at $50 o'clock this morning. Oliver
and his wife had not lived together for
over year and the woman rejected all his
efforts at reconciliation. This morning
Mrs. Oliver and her mother were out walk
ing when Oliver stepped up behind his wife
and fired, the ball entering the base OF the
brain. Oliver was arrested and made a
statement to the effect that he intended to
kill his wife and himself, but that he could
not raise the hammer of the pistol for the
second shot. His reason for the act is that
she would not live with him.

A mass meeting of the residents of
South Minneapolis was held last evening
under the auspices of the Scandinavian
Democratic club at Stockholm hall. The
attendance was very large, and the hall
proved inadequate to contain the hundreds
who desired admission. At 7:30 o'clock
the meeting was called to order by Judge

disposition of routine business an oppor-

They are scattered all over the city and are

sore eyes to inhammatory rheumatism and
stegnoss of the hepatic duct In many
eases there are women with two or three
children who have beat over the wash tub

THE MINNEToNKA REGATTA.

The rowing regatta between crews rep
resenting ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Winni-
peg which will take place to-day and to-
morrow on lake Minnetonka will doubtless
be witnessed, as it should, by hundreds of
people. 1t is the kind of sport, Indicative
of friendly and wholesome rivalry, which
furnishes rational enjoyment both to spec
tators and participants. 1t is free from the
Objectionable features of professionalism,
and in this especial instance has further
claim in being almost entirely local in its
character, but one outside club engaging in
the regatta. The average American, while
usually liberal to himself in most other re-
spects, stints his allowance of exercise;
more frequently because of a lack of time
rather than Discrimination to the different
methods whereby exercise is obtained or to
ignorance of the vital Importance. No
other sort of economy carries with it so
many evil results. Without regular and suffi-
cient exercise the human machinery can no
more do its work properly than can the
artificial machinery which is not well oiled.
The excuse of lacking time should not be
allowed to intervene, for with a conception
of its value several hours a week could in
some way be devoted to exercise. No form
of it either could be chosen which is at the
same time so beneficial and agreeable as
rowing necesSitating as it does the perform
ance of all the work out OF doors. If these
regattas. periodically held, bring about a
wider indulgence in the sport. there will
need be no stronger argument in their favor
