The weather yesterday was almost
summerlike in its warmth. The Their
mometer registered 81 deg. in the morn
ing and 66 deg. at two O'Clock and 60 deg.
at dark. A person could move around
with the freedom of summer and fires
were scarcely necessary. During the
evening the strong south wind that pre-
vailed during the day blew up a rain,
which continued throughout the night
and a part of to-day. A light coating
of Ice has formed over everything ex-
posed and the result is rather slippery
walking. The day that was looked for
ward to by all storekeepers as likely TO
be the most profitable ofthe year turned
out to be one of the dullest. A cold
wave is predicted to arrive before morn
ing and altogether the outlook is decid-
eddy unpleasant.
An editor died and slowly wendell
his way down to where he supposed
warm reception awaited him. The
devil met HIM and said: ''For many
years thou hast borne the blame for the
errors that the printers made in the pa
per. The paper has gone alas, for one
dollar. Alas, the other has failed to
come in. You were bedeviled by the
printers for wages, when thou hadst not
a cent to pay them. Men have taken
thy paper without paying for it, and
cursed thee for not getting up a better
paper. Thou hast been called dead
beat and fraud by men who were
both. All these things thou hast borne
in silence, and thou canst not come
here" And Satan murmured to him.
self: "Heaven is his home, and be-
sides, if we had let him IN here he
would have been continually dunning
his delinquent subscribers and thus ere

-Schulein & Meinstein made an as
signment Saturday evening to MIR. j. w.
Hoerr, who has qualified and will take
possession of the stock to-day. The liza
bilities that are known ofamount to Sl5,-
900. Mr.. Schulein claims that his stock
is worth $4,000, but one of the New
York creditors, Mr.. Hanouer, who is in
the city, believes that it Will not bring at
wholesale over $1,000. There are no
book accounts to amount to anything
and it does not appear that the firm did
any credit business. The stock which
the firm has been selling at Redwood
Falls was brought back to; this city last
week and was attached. No new attach
ments were made before the assignment.
Messrs. Cray and Washburn represent
the creditors, and the latter has from
5000 to $1,000 in claims which have not
been secured by attachments. The firm
have little TO say about the failure, ex-
cept that they will settle.
