EAU CLAIRE, June 20.-Mayor Grinsell has
directed the city treasurer to pay out no
money to the contractors who have been given
by special committee the work of construct
Ing mile Of sewers, the contract price being
about 81, 200. Hitherto the provision of the
charter requiring the mayors signature to
orders on the city treasurer for payment of
bills has been in q state of desuetude. The
mayor now proposes to rivive its force, and
he will decline to sign warrants for payment
for work on sewer construction on the ground
that he believes the taxpayers do not want
sewers built this year. The fact that The
work is under the control of special COM
mittee created, under a special ordinance,
by the old council before the present admin
istration could get chance at it, is believed
to have much to do with the mayors OPP
position, which, however, is given color
by the fact that residents of a portion
Of the city have petitioned against sewers.
In the meantime the special committee has
had the work begun, but it looks as though
the contractors would be obliged to sue il
order to get their money, as the city treas
urer will follow the mayors instructions.

RED WING, June 20.-A reprehensible
swindling gambling game was in full oper-
alton on the corner of Third and Bush
streets last evening. by fakir, who, it is
said, was formerly connected with Harris
Nickel Plate circus, which showed here
some time ago. He commenced by selling
a five-dollar bill for 81, dollar for SO cents,
etc., so that, in all, he lost So in money by
this transaction. He then commenced sell
ing rings at 10 cents each, and giving pur-
chasers back their money; next. watch
chains at 26 cents and giving back the
money, and SO on until he finally offered
some lockets at So apiece which were
eagerly purchased by the gullible victims
in belief that their money would be re-
funded, but after scooping in considerable
money at selling lockets at 50, 81 and so
cents, the sharper pocketed the money,
whipped up his horse and drove away,
saying to his victims that he would meet
them again this evening. From what can
be learned he took the train for the north
on the Milwaukee road, and will probably
soon be heard from again-probably at
Hastings.

South Dakota's Sufferings From
Robbery by Railways.
To the Editor of the Globe:
WOONsOCKET, OAK, June 19.-The article
in the GLOBE of the 18th, headed ga New
Standard, Strikes the nail fairly and squarely
on the head. The burden of transportation
on our cereals is as unjust and arbitrary in
South as in North Dakota. We are compelled
in this part of the territory to ship to the
Milwaukee or Chicago markets, when all our
products would find better market at Du-
luth, but we have no outlet in that direction,
and If we had, and such outlet was by way
OF st. Paul over either of the lines now con-
trolling all South Dakota, we would be COM
PEELED to pay such eXorbitant rates that we
could not afford to ship in that direction A
new line is now being talked of, and there is
some prospect of its being built, which, when
completed, would assist US greatly, for while
it will not give us competing road, it will
give us u choice of either of the three above
markets, and as it is being built by an indie
pendent company, it will doubtless compel a
reduction in the rate to the former market
The Duluth, Watertown & Pacific is either an
Independent line oris controlled by the Rock
Island, and the latter has line
from Watertown to your city over
the Minneapolis st. Louis. South Dakota
is now producing large surplus of grain
and stock, but no money is made by the farm
ers on account of the unjust freight rates to
our markets. Should the Rock Island decide
to build into this part Of the territory it
would turn the tide of shipments largely
toward st. Paul and Duluth, and would open
up your city as purchasing market to many
OF the towns and cities in this part of the
country. large territory through which
this road would pass is to-day without rail-
road facilities, and in many locations we are
compelled to haul thirty, forty and in many
instances seventy-f1ve miles to reach station.
So long as no new competition appears, just
30 long we must continue to spend one-fourth
of the value of all our products in
reaching market after the half is gone to
reach the nearest railroad station. Our rail-
road commissioners so far are a failure.
They are doing nothing to tighten our bur-
dens, and we are anxiously awaiting the ap-
pearance of anything that will even temper
SriIY helm lis.

POLITICS IN BIG STONE.
Some Fine Fence Building at the
OrlOnViIle EncaMumanf.


ORToNvILLE, June 20.-The encamp-
ment was brought to a close yesterday
The number of veterans of the late war
attending has been large, also the number
of veterans in Minnesota politics. There
have been candidates here during the week
for almost every state Office The Hon.
Albert Scheffer of ST. Paul was here, re-
ported to be looking after his gubernatorial
boom, and it is understood that his cam
paign in this county has been placed in the
hands Of c. E. Brookes, cashier of the
Bank of Ortonville, of which Mr.. Scheffer
is president. State Auditor Braden was
here looking after his fences personally.
while Frank Mcdonald, auditor of Henne-
pin, with aspirations for Braden's place,
put in the week building up a boom for
himself. His case, it is said, has been
placed in the hands of c. II. Nero, auditor
of Big Stone county, which gives
him some advantage, though Braden is
strong in this county. For attorney gen.
eral Burlingame of Owatonna was here,
nursing boomlet already started here for
himself some time ago through Lawyer T.
n. Grant and the Herald. AS member
of the lower house, Burlingame befriended
this county, and can probably have the
delegation from here in the state conven-
ton. Then there was Capt. Castle, but if
he had any other desire than to have
good time with the boys, it was not appar-
ent, for he said not word of politics.
Freeman P. Lane of Minneapolis was also
present, apparently in his general capacity
of monitor over the politicians assembled.
He said that Gilman's boast that he had
made a combination with the Minneapolis
crowd was absolutely false. The Mime
apols crowd, he said, would go into the
convention untrammeled by any combina-
tons or intrigues, and would hang together
for Minneapolis to the last. Lane will
probably be candidate for the legislature
from the Twenty legislative dis
trict, which includes the Third and Fourth
wards of Minneapolis and the towns in
northern Hennepin. There was no general
conference of these gentlemen, in fact each
seemed to fight shy of the other during
