The DiscipieS of Christ Hear Reports
und Transact Routine Business
At The meeting of the missionary conven-
ton of the Disciples of Christ. of Minnesota

Campbell, Minneapolis; II. ID. morrison,
Sank Center; John Truax, Fair Haven. On

A report was then read by ii. 5. morrison,
state evangelist showing that the number OF
places whore work had been done was Ii;
number or sermons preached, 217; number
of accessions TO the church, SO; amount OF
money collected, S461.54. The question Oh
making the Christian Cleaner semi
monthly instead of monthly, was discussed
but no definite action taken. L. A. Pier, the
editor, stated that if 500 paying subscribers
could be secured he would guarantee 10 make
it a Semi-monthly. At the conclusion OF mis-
discussion, Rev. D. w. Campbell Of Howard
Lake, preached an interesting missionary
sermon, which was warmly received.
The committee on nominations presented
the following officers for the ensuing year at
the opening of the afternoon session; Presl-
dent Euos Campbell, Minneapolis; vice pres
ident John A. Gr1se, Marion; secretary, b.
L. Scott, Howard Lake; treasurer, }. q. van

Yesterday the council committee on claims
paid Its respects to the police payroll. 1t
found, upon inspection of the various pre-
cinct roll-call books, that several patrolmen
have been granted leave of absence, and by
the payroll they were credited for their
salary just the same. The committee de-
cided that the comptroller should deduct
from the payroll for absentees, but after
wards an understanding was arrived at to
the effect that the payroll pass, but
that the adjutant be required to
make careful deduction from all
patrolmen on account of being absent
and it is probable that this will pass tonight.
The resolution under which the committee
on claims acts was passed two years ago, but
has been ignored until the present time. The
roll call books show that every patrolman had
been absent more or less under the Pillsbury
administration, but the committee on claims
pretended to know nothing about it. Aid.
Babb stoutly maintains that there is no ele-
ment of partisanship in the movement, as the
grand jury claims in regard 10 its report to

The Big Millinery Firm of A. 5. Gage

S75O.OOO.

The Big Millinery Firm of a. $. Gage
81 Co. Assigns with Liabilities of
S75O.OOO.
CHICAGO, Sept. 30.-The firm of A. S.
Gage & Co. confessed Judgment in favor of
the First National bank this morning for
S97. 900. The firm occupies one OF the finest
blocks on Wabash avenue, at the corner of
Adams street, and has been carrying on
wholesale business in millinery and fancy
goods. The firm, during the forenoon,
made an assignment of its entire stock to
H. j. Mcfarland, and its large establish
ment was at once closed. The Liabilities
are placed at $3.50, 900. and are owing al
most entirely to Eastern houses. The as
sets are roughly estimated at $3.50, 900. Six
months ago. in addition to its wholesale de-
partment. the firm opened large retail dry
goods store. 1t was SurnllSed in business
circles that the firm was pressed, but the
failure did not appear to be anticipated.
When the assignee took charge this forenoon
the store was crowded with lady customers
and there was some excitement among
them when the swinging doors were locked
and they were penned in. The clerks were
ordered to sell no more goods, and the GUS
toners were instructed to pass out OF the
rear entrance, which they did after awhile,
being followed by most of the employees, to
whom the news of the failure had been
shock of the most startling nature. By
1890 O'clock only the members of the firm,
the confidential clerk, the assignee and the
deputy sheriff remained in the store.
Nearly 800 customers were detained in the
store for nearly two hours, owing to the de-
sire of the assignee to prevent any repre-
sentative of the sheriff from obtaining an
entrance to the building and levying on the
stock in behalf of the bank. Deputy Sheriff
NickersoE, with three assistants, took pos
session of the establishment at about 2
o'clock in behalf of the First National bank,
II. B. Clahin & Co. and other Judgment
creditors. Judge Prendergast was called
upon this afternoon to adjudicate between
the contesting claimants, and decided that
the sheriff had no right to remove any
goods from the premises. BE ordered mat
tiers to remain in statu quo and is consider
ing petition of the firm for the assignee to
continue the business, a suspension of
which would involve loss of 81 900 a
day. The assignee has been directed to
give bonds in 81, 900. 600. The firm ascribes
the necessity for its closing down to the
haste displayed by the bank people. They
expressed the view this evening that they
would probably be able TO resume to-
morrow.

HISTORY REPEATS rTsELF.
PilIsbury,s system to Lower the
Price OF wheat.

The buyers of wheat, and the gentlemen
who listen to the tick. tick of the stock indi-
Gator and who have contracted a habit of
watching the movements of the heavy grain
operators, have noticed time and again that
c. A. Pillsbury always bears the market
when the wheat is in the hands of the farm
ers, and bulls it when the grain reaches the
elevators. The effect of the system en-
ploved by the farmers friend it can be
seen is ruinous to the farmer, but helps
the buyers and the spectators. Mr.. Pills
bury's confidence in his system" it seems,
has not been shaken, and while ]. S. Pills
bury was on Tuesday afternoon trying to
convince the Republican central committee
that the Millers association had helped the
farmers, 9. A. PIllSbury at Minneapolis was
wiring his Chicago agents to bear the market.
a dispatch from Chicago yesterday states
that ''Pillsbury, the big Minneapolis miller,
predicting larger receipts, helped the weak
ness to-day 1t was common talk on change
yesterday that Pillsbury had helped the
weakness by telegraphing that the elevators
at Minneapolis are full and by giving 1nstruc-
tons to unload million bushels of wheat
Yesterday it was currently reported that
PiIlsbury had sent orders to sell two million
will be to lower the market perceptif ly. The
farmers suffer, as usual, and PiIlsbury grows
richer.
Il should think he might let up on this, -
growled a Republican politician last night.
Here we are trying TO smooth the farmers
down and Pillsbury is trying to lower the
price of wheat IN bet this will be reported
in every Democratic paper in the state, and
there will be the deuce to pay
