"I'm glad he took the note!
shall he safe now"
Miss Alison Reece was a clever
young lady. The direct and neal
way to Mr.. Watkyn's home would
lead him past The willow walk. She
had devised this impromptu note
to her dreSsmaker in the afternoon
to prevent his taking that usual
route. Had he seen young Yavl
sour cooling his heels within the
precincts of the willow walk lie
would inevitably suspect he was
waiting to keep IL lovers tryst.
Alison was busy in the kitchen
next morning when she heard hel
mother open the front door and let
some one come in. "Itl that chat
terng Mrs. Bennett" thought she,
as she dried the teaspoons.
"Alison, come here" called her
mother, in quick voice.
She went to fife parlor just as she
Washer sleeves turned back at
the wrist, a large, brown Holland
apron on. Very pretty she looked
with it all. But it was not Mrs.
Bennett, who sat with her mother;
it was Il venerable, wllite-haired old
gentlemall-Mr.W atkyn, the elder.

said he. 81 believe he came here
last night" Miss Alison; at what

A provision struck her with sort
of terror that something was
wrong. "He left quite eally, "she

"Not come llone2" she said, with
a whitening face.

I thought tile mist mighthave kept
him; that he had stayed at some
friends house. L knew not what
to think, and that he would be
home the first thing this morning.
But we have not seen him, and |
cannot hear of him."
Mrs. Reece was impressed with
the frightened, guilty look that Ali
son could not keep ou, of her coun.
tenauce, and began to feel uneasy.
"Cannol you tell what time it was

"The long road-round by the

surprise. "Why did lie take that

DUIuTH. Jan. 31.-The -four business
here is rapidly assuming great importance
and the prospect that Duluth VIII become
great Notwithstanding center Is growing
brighter every day, and the day Is not far
distant apparently, when the flour business
will be of as much importance to Duluth as
the wheat business is now. There Is at
present i'm the hands OF local dealers here
about 10, 900 barrels of flour, besides about
go, 900 barrels IN the st. Paul

ment in the spring. The banks
here have promised to advance all the
money they want Oh -four the same as they
do on wheat paper. and now, providing the
grades are well established here. Mr.. Z.
w, Gilbert. owner of a flour mill at War
rem, Mimi, is in town to-day and will prob
ably remain here tor some time to try and
perfect arrangements TO organize
A BARREL COMPANY
to be run in connection with the flour stor-
age company that has already been started
here. The purpose is to enable country
millers to send all their -four direct to Du-
luth as soon as it is manufactured, to be
stored here, and the flour repacked from
sacks into barrels. and to have all orders
for -four sent to Duluth and filled here, 1t
saving at least ten days in time. which in
itself is great item. Several of the most
prominent members of the produce exchange
here are actively cooperating with Mr.. Gil
bert, and it is probable that the barrel COM
pany will soon be organized. 1t is claimed
Sat by getting the country flour well intro
dl-- ed in the East and its standard brought
up to the best Minneapolis -four an immense
flour business can be made here and leave a
handsome margin for the dealers. as there
are about two hundred country -four mills
directly tributary to Duluth.

citing increased uneasiness in the section 10
be left out IL is believed that North Dakota
alone might kick 81 the door OF the Union

not perceived whether another batch or pre-
sentable states is likely 10 be made up IN
any reasonable period. The Fargo Argus
and other prominent sheets that have been
on the fence or taking little part IN the mat
ter, now look at the situation in this light,
and conclude that the prosperity and ma
terial interests of the North would be greatly
retarded by long continuance In the terri
torial condition, and are beginning to speak

II the North could very soon follow the South

is seen 10 be hopeless, aud few like 10 con-
front the idea OF remaining ten or more years

ont Authority, Ia In Believed.
To Officers and Soldiers of the Old Sec
ond Minnesota Volunteer Infantry-Com-
rades: Capt Daniel Heanay. the first
adjutant of the Second Minnesota Volun-
teer infantry (Gen. Van Cleve command
ing), was sent from Olmsted county, Mimi,
on the 22d day Of June, 1888, to the
inebriate department of the Second hos
pital for the insane. located at Rochester,
MINI. His commitment was irregular,
unlawful and an outrage upon the rights OF
a citizen. He has been kept, from the
time of his spurious commitment to the
present time, confined in the same ward
with the insane (Which numbered, during
the autumn past, between twenty-five and
thirty persons). He has been compelled TO
wash in the same vessel. wipe himself on
the same towel. battle himself in the same
bathtub, eat at the same table and the
same kind of food. He was confined DUR
ing the daytime i'm the same hall, and at
night was locked in the same room
WITH THE INSANE
to sleep. In fact has received no other or
different treatment than the insane except
as to the medicine administered. Il under
stand he has taken no medicine since the
first week of his confinement except laXa-
tives.) 1t is unnecessary to say anything
in relation TO the cruel suffering. both of
mind and body, that Capt. Heanay has
endured. Since his outrageous cOnfine-
ment he has been living in the midst of
danger from the attacks of the madmen
with whom he is confined, and he has been
attacked and bruised by them at different
times. He has witnessed the cruel and
inhuman treatment of the insane confined
in the same ward with himself. He was
not allowed to write or receive letters with
out their being examined by
HOSPITAL AUTHORITIES,
has had no guardian appointed to look
after him or his interests. This brave old
veteran (who was twice maj or of RocheS-
ter, Mimi, and who was a companion Of
the officers and men of the old Second
Minnesota, and of the grand old soldiers.
Gen. Van Cleye and Gen. Thomas, has. for
over two years and seven months, been the
victim of unlawful violence. This brave
old man, who perilled his life in defense of
law and order, has for years been the vic
tim of the cruelest tyranny, in direct viola
ton of the written law of his country.
Will the officers and men who composed
the old Second Minnesota regiment permit
this outrage on brother officer and com
paniOn In arms? Will Van Cleve, Uline,
Bishop, Jennison, Cox. MOulton, Suttle or
any of the brave officers or men who CON-
posed the Second Minnesota, come to the
rescue? UNCLE SAM.
