CONKLING AND BLAINE.

The Nashville, Tenn, American pub
fishes an interview with a. NJ. Hughes
Jr.. Chairman of the Republican State
Executive Committee, regarding the
failure OF Roscoe Conkling to actively
support James G.. Blaine in the last
Presidential canvass, giving facts never
before published. In brief, Mr.. Hughes
sid that soon alter Mr.. Blnine was
nominated Senator Chaffee. the tuthcr-
in-lnw Of U. s. Grant Jr., realizing tho
importance Of securing the assistance Of
Mr.. Conkling for Mr.. Blnine in New
York, went to New. York for that es-
pecial purpose; TINT Senator Chaffee,
~ the result II n prolonged and EARN
est conference with Mr.. Conkling, Sc
cured from him the promise TINT If Mr..
Blaine would write Conkling n personal
letter requesting his assistance he Mr..
Conkling) wonld reply in mn open Ic.-
ter, with n pledge to actively support
him in the CANVASS; that Senator Chat
fee got on the Rrst train which left New
York inter this pledge was given and
went to see Mr.. Blnine Mt his home in
Maine. Tho situation was explained
and Mr.. Blaine promptly wrote the de-
sired letter to Mr.. Conkiiug. This let
ter was given 10 Walker Blaine to be
carried by HIM IN person to Mr.. Conk-
ling as q delicate compliment, and Sem
ator ChafIec, r~ejoiced that his mission
mi done, disappeared from the scene.
lie a%nxiousIy awaited the publication
of the response from Mr.. Coukling, but
IL never came. Investigation proved
that Walker Blaine carried the letter to
New York. but on his why to Mr.. Conk-
ling's house stopped at the National
Hepublicnn headquarters. Mel ~tioning
the purpose OF his presence In Now
York to Stove Elkins, Il. +. Jones,
Chairman OF the Republican National
Executive Committee. aud ono or two
others, these managers decided It was
best to ignore Conkling aud that the
letter must not reach him. According
ly II was suppressed. The animosity oi
Mr.. Conkling was intensified by tho I'D
ditional sffrout and Mr. Blaine lost New
York.
Mr.. Hughes IL positive that these
statements 1re correct, for they come
directly from one Of the men who sup
pressed tho letter. This nnn revealed
tho circumstance after this deutl OF
Copkling and when II was not thought
that Blaine would go Lefore the ueIt

Resolved, That we, the members of
the Young Mems Democratic Club of
the First ward, do hereby commend
Congressman Rice, Wilson, Macdonald
and Nelson for voting for and giving the
Mills bill their hearty support, and con-
denim Congressman Lind for opposing
and voting against the bill in opposition
to the wishes of the people of Mime
sofa; and, be it further
Resolved, That as the great North
west, and more especially Minnesota,
imperatively demands reduction of
the tariff, we therefore deem it the duty
of Senators Sabin and Davis to. both
support and vote for the Mills bill IN
the senate, and that if they fail to do so
they will be acting contrary to the
wishes of the majority of the people OF
Minnesota.

Northwestern Miller: "The growing
wheat crop presents some unpleasant
features along with the good. The
weather has been favorable for develop
ment during the week, but that same
development has shown that there is
more or less of blight in the earlier
fields. caused by a few days of hot winds
and sun two weeks ago. In the north
the head has not yet reached the stage
that exhibits such results. But while
this is so it is not denied that prospects
in the north, and more especially in the
Red river valley, are not tiatterlng for
either an abundant yield or grain of the
finest Quality.'

A GAIN In PRICE.
The Weeks Resume of the Great
Primary Wheat Market.

The Northwestern Miller, in its issue
of to-day, will say: The net result of
the weeks market fluctuations in wheat
on the local board has been gain in
prices of something like l cent per
bushel. In general markets prices de-
clined as much. The receipts have
shown a larger movement than at any
other primary market, and yet stocks
have as steadily declined. There is
considerable wheat held in store here,
but the larger part of it has been held
by the elevator companies carrying it
for storage. Most of these people ex-
pected higher prices for it, and much of
it has never been hedged against by op-
tions. Such owners are holding on for
an advance before placing it in the mar
ket. The millers buying each day for
the days use are forced to it, and, with
an enforced scarcity, have been brought
to face an advance, while millers in
other cities have been favored with
decline. Buyers of flour are talking
about flour from the old crop now. not
realizing perhaps, that the new will not
be cut for three weeks yet. The call
for it, however, emphasizes the demand
that is making itself felt for wheat of
the old crop to grind.

Church" The sentence read thus:
''There is room here for all religions,

Now, what I want to know is, what
is ''Americanism?'
We hear good deal about American
this and American that, and, pray,
what does it all mean? VIII some one
explain? Let us have this thing ''Amer-
icanism" clearly understood. If it
means national prejudice, religious big
otry, or anything of that sort, it is about
time everybody knew it. For the sake
of truth, justice and common sense let

JERRY TOOK FRENCH LEAVE.
Adele Menard the Heroine of An
other Sensation


North Minneapolis has a social sensa-
ton that will furnish the gossips with
food for some time to come. Adele Men
ard is the pretty seventeen-year-
old daughter of Joseph Menard, a
wealthy Frenchman, who lives at the
corner of Twelfth and Oliver avenues.
She fell in love with Jerry Provost.
who, for number of years, has fol-
lowed the occupation of hack-driver.
Her parents forbade the match, and she
created sensation by disappearing last
spring and leaving note that her body
would be found in the river. She did not
drown herself, however, but was finally
discovered wandering about in male
attire. She returned home with the
understanding that she should be al
lowed to wed
THE MAN OF HER CHOICE.
The wedding was set for Tuesday night
at o'clock, and the friends and rela-
tives of both parties were present.
Seven O'Clock came, but no Jerry.
A half hour later note came from him
to the prospective bride stating that he
had decided not to marry her after all.
Miss Menard went into Mysteries.
Her father dismissed the guests, and
the wedding was indefinitely postponed.
Provost has disappeared, and the reason
for his action is matter only of con-
lecture. He is about thirty-five years
old, and has the reputation of being
steady and industrious.

MINNETRISTA ASSESSMENTS.
The Kick of fNon-Resident Taxpay-
ers of No Avail.

The county board of equalization met
yesterday afternoon for the purpose of
considering the alleged discrimination
in the assessment made in Minnetrista
township. The town supervisors and
the assessor were present, as were also
number of the non-residents who had
made the complaints. 1t was shown to
the satisfaction of most of the members
of the board that the assessment was
made about right, and that the non-res-
idents had bought up the most val
liable land in the town, abutting
on the shore of Lake Minnetonka,
and were now kicking because they
were assessed more than the farmers,
who owned land lying at distance
from the lake. Darlington Phelps, who
had made the charge that it had been
the custom for the town board to hire
teams and laborers for road work at
double the usual price, was obliged to
make retraction, it being shown con-
clusively that his statement was untrue.
The board finally adjourned until Mon
day, when the Minnetrista assessment
will be further investigated.

NELLIE KING AGAIN.
She Abducts a Three-Year-OId
Boy From st. Paul Family and
Is Arrested

Sne ADuuCtS q Inree. ear-Old
Boy From a ST. Paul Family and
Is Arrested.
Nellie King, the girl who has before
created sensations by dressing in bifur-
ated garments and appearing in the
role of cowboy, was yesterday found
walking on Nicollet avenue with little
boy by Court Officer Campbell. AS he
had notice that woman supposed to be
the notorious Nellie had disappeared
from st. Paul with a child of Mrs, Bes-
sic McCarty, living at 63 Seventh street
east, he promptly arrested her. Mrs.
McCarty was notified. and in the even
ing came over from st. Paul and recov-
cred her child, which had been missing
for two days. She says Nellie appealed
to her, claiming to be a trapeze per
former, and said she had been injured.
Mrs. McCarty took pity on her, and
not only furnished her with room
and board, but medical attendance.
In return for this kindness Nellie, on
Monday, arrayed herself in one of Mrs.
McCarty's dresses, borrowed another
lady's hat, and, taking the little boy,
which is about three years old, disap-
peared. 1t is presumed that she in
tended to use the child for blackmail-
ing purposes, as she once before OBJ
tanned child from an orphan asylum
at Duluth with that intention. The
youngster seemed to have been we'll
treated, but was very glad to see his
mother.
