engineer of train No. 6, was caught between

The Second Days Proceedings of
Its Annual Session

At the second days session of the State
Grange yesterday W. s. Chowen, the master,
delivered the annual address, in which he
reviewed the progress OF the order during
the past year. The standing commit
tees were appointed and the reports of
the officers were received. In the after
noon the reports OF committees were
received. The most interesting was that of
the educational committee, made by Rev. W..

matters discussed was the necessity of in
creasirg the authority and power OF the
dairy commissioners, and the enactment of
more stringent laws regarding the adultera-

THE MILLING MIX.
Pillsbury's VIII Run---The Others
Will Go-as-Y

Some days ago the GLOBE interviewed
Charles a. Pillsbury on the strength of re-
port from Chicago that ne was heavily
long on wheat He smilingly denied it,
and said the Pillsbury firm would grind all
the wheat it had and could get.
This story has been revived in connection
with the Milwaukee meeting OF the millers,
and a singular complication has ariseu. That
convention decided to shut down the mills
in January and allow the accumulated stock
Of -four to work off. G. A. Pillsbury d Co.
were not represented at this meeting and
the head of this firm says it will grind out
Pillsbury best. as usual, without regard 10
what others may do This announcement has
rejuvenated the report that c. A. Pillsbury is
long in wheat and viii not suffer the cereal
TO be depressed, on that account, by closing
down the millers. On the other hand, it IS
claimed the champions of closing are short
of wheat and not because of amy unusual
amount of -four in store. Mr.. PillsbuTy fig
ured in December that less than the usual
amount of flour was in store.
The action of the Milwaukee convention is
not binding on any mill, and will probably
be submitted to local millers' meeting; but
in view of the developments it is more than
likely that the mills will run OIL a go-as-yo

the board of education meeting last evening.
A. T. Ankeny TO whom the case had been
entrusted reported that he had employed
Judge Koon 10 assist him, and
that the suit had been decided in
favor of the board of education. This decis-
ion had afterwards been appealed from, but
by the payment of $500 the Coolbaugh heirs
had agreed to a settlement of the whole mat
ter and had given a quitclaim deed 10 the
premises in controversy. He reported that
Oh the filing of this quitclaim deed the
courthouse commission had instructed the
city treasurer to turn over 10 the board OF ed
ucation the $4,000, the balance of the pur-
chase price. which they had withheld until
the title could be perfected. Judge Koon $
bill for legal services rendered in trying the
case was accepted and ordered paid. as was
also the bill of a. L. Ankeny for $500.
In this connection J. c.. Williams made
demand on The board for 81, 200 for services

BassetCs Amusing Version of the
Horse Stealing Case.

The introduction of evidence in the
rase of Eugene A. Bassett, indicted for
horse stealing, was about completed
last evening when court adjourned, and
the arguments of counsel will be made

Clarke told him that he had discovered
the whereabouts of a murderer for
whose capture large reward was of

with a team he would capture the fugi-
reward. After hiring the team for him
he became suspicious that he intended
to steal the team, aud on that account
he thought it best to follow him and
