HOME JOTTINGS.
From Friday DAILY FREE PRESS.


Mrs. DeMullev, an old lady hvinl
home last night of old age. The funeral
will occur tomorrow forenoon.
The Democratic ticket at present
contains two names selected from the
country. The only offices that don't
amount to anything-surveyor and court
commIssioner-were thrown as sop to
the country.
The total enrolment in the public
schools for September was / ,O4S. This
is a decrease of 80 over September,
1887, owing 10 the fact that all under six
wears of age are this year barred out.
The average attendance was OIL, an In
crease of 80.
Ring x Tobin have about completed
their contract on the court house, and
have taken down all the scaffolding
about the building. These with the en-
CINE, derricks, etc, have been loaded
upon train in readiness 10 be taken TO
Minneapolis. The removal of the der
ricks will necessitate the procuring of
new ones 10 aid in the construction of
the tower.
An effort is being made TO secure
Hon. +. +. Davis, of Minneapolis for a
speech 10 the htDuDllCanS IN THIS CITY,
and il is likely to be successful. The
date will probably be some time about
the middle of the month. Hon. Jno.
Lind will also make one of his strong
addresses here, perhaps in connection
with Mr.. Davis.
Pres. H. o. Ladd, of Santa Fe Acad-
envy and the Ramona Indian School, of
Santa Fe, New Mexico, is in the city on
a brief visit. Last evening he gave a
very interesting talk at the Presbyterian
prayer meeting upon educational work
among the Apache Indians. Mr.. Laid
is the guest of his sister, Mrs. c. S.
Rose, and family.
Mr.. W. NJ. Neal, of Good Thunder,
met with a great misfortune in this city
this morning, nothing less than losing
an envelope containing $500 in currency.
He had the package in his vest pocket
and thinks he lost it somewhere along
Front street. The loss is very severe
one and We hope the finder of the
money will have sufficient honesty to
return it. Mr.. Neal offers S25 for its re-
turn.

DEMOCRATIC CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.

Mr.. J. w. Hoerr, chairman of the late
Democratic county convention, has APP
pointed the following county central
committee: w. B. Davies, chairman, f
NJ. Pope, James Dougherty, of the city
ID. B. Rasdall, LIST district; Randolph
Mitchell, 3rd district; E. T. Champlin,
4th district; 7. Hoverson, 9Th district
This is very good committee and re.
fleets credit upon Mr.. Hoerr's ability as
an executive. The Doran men will
hardly consider themselves as fully re-
presented, however. AS Mr.. Hoerr is
a candidate for the nomination for audi
tor, in place of Mr.. ID. L. Rose, resigned,
the committee is doubtless composed of
men fay orable to that plan.

will hereafter run it.

mittee has made an appointment for
Hon. Thomas B. Minnahan, to speak in
this city Oct. II.
Miss Amy Roberts, aged thirty-two,
died at her home in Judson yesterday of
consumption. The funeral took place
at noon to-day at Minneopa.
AT the meeting of the Building and
Loan association Saturday night more
calls were made for loans than at any
previous meeting in the history of the
association. This shows how pr osperous
the association is.
Engineer Evarts and the surveying
party OF the Duluth, st. Cloud, Mankato
& Southern railroad were in the city
Saturday, having completed the survey
as far north as this city. They are now
working in the neighborhood of Alma
City.
An alarm of fire was sounded at
about half-past eight last night, caused
by fire in coal pile at Craig's quarry.
The fire was extinguished before the de-
partment arrived. A horse belonging
to Joseph Kuntz was taken to haul one
of the hose carts. 1t was started off at
full speed and kept this gait up for sew
eral blocks, when it suddenly fell down
dead. The horse was not very valua-
BILE one, and as it was driven by Mr..
Kuntz it is doubtful whether the city
could be made to pay for it.

Swallowed by a Ouicksand.

GAS an instance of the practically
bottomless nature of the quicksands,
may be cited the case of an engine that
ran off the track at River Bend about
ninety miles from Denver, ON the Kan
sas Pacific. The engine, O large
freight, fell into a quicksand, and in
about twenty minutes had entirely dis
appeared. Within two days the COM
pany sent out gang of men and a
wrecking train to raise the engine. To
their surprise they could not find a
trace of it. Careful search was made,
magnified rods were sunk to the depth
of sixty-five feet, but no engine could
be found. 1t had sunk beyond human
ken, and from that day to this has never
been discovered. Cattle and horses are
frequently lost, the only animal that is
safe being a mule-the only animal that
never gets caught. No greater in
stance of the intelligence of this much
maligned quadruped can be cited than
the skill and care with which it avoids
all unsound bottom. AS its hoofs are
much smaller and narrower than those
of horse, it would mire in places
where a horse could safely pass. Re-
cognizing this fact, whenever a mule
feels the ground giving away under his
feet, it draws back and cannot be in
duced to advance a step, although q
whole drove of horses may have imme-
diately preceded"

A Showing Which Does Not Compare Fa-
vorably witt! That of the Corresponding
Months Last Year.
The Burlington Company is having hard
time to make both ends meet. Its statement
of net earnings for the month OF May. which
came 10 light recently. showed a decrease
Of SS03, 900, and for the first five months OF
1888 the loss compared with the correspond
ing period last year reaches the astounding
total OF S4.194.172. Never in the history OF
Western railroads has such disastrous
record been made by big railway corpora
ton in so short a time. Less than year
ago the Burlington Company was reported
to be the strongest corporation Of its kind in
the country. 1t paid the highest rate OF divi-
dends and its securities commanded larger
prices than any similar paper on the New
York Stock Exchange. Since the beginning
Of 1888 its dividend rate has been reduced
from to 4 per cent, and even the per
cent. has not been earned by many hundred
thousand dollars. The causes of the Bur-
iington's unfortunate condition are short
crops last year, reduced rates, and the great
engineers strike. which cost the company
enormously and is not entirely settled yet.

TEXAS AND ARKANSAS POLITICS.


The Texas on-Laborites and Arkansas
savior's Supremacy.
The Texas State Convention OF the Union
Labor party met at TT. Worth. A committee
OF conference. one from each Congressional
district. was appointed TO confer with a
similar committee appointed by the non
partisan convention. The committees re-
port advised that the platform OF the nom
partisan convention be adopted as the State
platform OF the Union Labor party; that
the State ticket of the Comparisons be in
dorsed that the National Union Labor
party candidates be recommended to the
independent voters Of Texas. and that the
national platform of the Union Labor party
except the tenth plank. in regard to woman
suffrage, be Endorsed.
The Arkansas State Prohibition Conven-
ton met AT Little Rock. The features OF the
session were the platform, the nomination
OF candidates for Presidential Electors. and
the debate on resolution declaring that
Jesus Christ is the governor. and his word
should be the law Of nations. The resolu-
ton was tabled. The platform reafflrms the
principles Of the Prohibition party as ex-
pressed in the indianapolis Convention May
80. and congratulates the people on the fact
that thirty-thre counties in the State are
ranged on the side Of local option. The es-
innate of the probable number Of votes
which will be cast next November for Fisk
and Brooks ranged from 5000 TO $4,000.
