BETTER FOR BANKRUPTS.
The Star Mercantile Company
Proposes to Make 1t Easier for


Unfortunate Business Men.
On the second floor of the building at
172 East Third street, almost directly
opposite the Merchants hotel, has re-
Gently been established the Star Mer-
camille company. which has for its OBJ
Ject the buying up of bankrupt stocks
and relieving those who are financially
oppressed. There is ample field in
st. Paul for such house, and
the gentlemen in charge of it
come well recommended. 1t frequently
occurs that merchant who has become
embarrassed, and sees forced assign
ment staring him in the face, could
save many hundreds-and perhaps
thousandS-of dollars if his stock could
be taken in hand by some institution
that could dispose of it to advantage and
secure him fair valuation. The enor-
nous sacrifices that are daily advertised
tell sad tale. These have called into
existence the Star Mercantile company,
who propose to lessen the burdens of in
solvent tradesmen to such an extent
that many of them may be enabled to
''stem the tide" and continue, after
time, prosperous career. The slow
ness with which estates are settled up
makes it imperative for the merchant,
If he is DESTROYS of continuing in bust
ness, and wishes to ''clear up" in
short time, to transfer his stock to some
one who can handle it properly. If an
assignment is made, the transfer should
be made as soon as possible, saving
thereby time and expense and damage
to goods.
The company is prepared to give good
and sufficient bonds as assigneeS, and
for the winding up of insolvent estates.
The company has store in Emerald,
OAK, where they do an extensive bust
ness in general merchandise and lum-
Der. The officers are M. Howes,
president, well known to st. Paul
business people as a shrewd man of the
world and entirely capable of manag-
ing such concern; j. r. Cooper, treas
urer, managing the Emerald branch,
who succeeded j. B. Coon on East Sew
enth street, and known also as thor
ough business man; and ii. E. Hullsiek,
vice president and secretary, whose
long acquaintance in the city renders
any further Introduction unnecessary.
Mr.. HOweS might be looked upon as
sort of advisory counsel. in cases where
a person involved wished to consult
with man of wide experience.
The concern is already doing a big
business, and bids fair to become one
of the greatest institutions of the North
west.

A TEST POSTPONED
OF the New Water Tower for the
Fire Department..

The fire department expected to make
a test yesterday of the new water tower,
which arrived from Troy, n. Y, Thurs
day, but the machine was not ready for
operation. 1t is the first one that has
been turned out for the use of any city,
and st. Paul has the privilege of testing
it for year before purchasing: The
machine, as at present constituted,
is about 1900 pounds heavier than it
will be when the patent is completed.
1t is like a reclining telescope. There
are four pipes to it. 10, s, 6 and inches
respectively in diameter. When the
hose from the plug is attached to the
bottom of the machine the apparatus
can be raised and the water turned on in
one minute and half from the time the
tower arrives on the ground. The di-
rection of the nozzle is operated from
the platform of the machine. There
are three other towers in use, the
Greenleaf, Halter and that used in
Chicago. The one sent to this city is
conceded to be the best yet patented,
and when it has been tested and its
weak points strengthened, 1t will,
doubtless, be used all over the country.
