ment.
Indications Are That Farmers

Works to Be Started in
the City.
A Young Man Passes Small

Albert j. Pratt has filed papers in di-
vorce proceedings against his wife,
Marietta, and if they contain the relia-
bility that such papers should there is
one woman in Dakota who is fully cap
able of maintaining wOman'S rights.
The complaint which Albert
brings against his wife is NAL
treatment. The misft couple
were married at Ann Arbor, Mich,
twenty-nine years ago, and have raised
six children. The complaint states that
selfish motives and dangerously cruel
when in the least excitement, and that
during the last six years of their life to-
gether the plaintiff was continually
kept in fear of his life, and for this
reason he became greatly impaired both
in body and mind. The poor man claims
to have been driven from his home over
two years ago, and that his wife and
children are now in possession of his
farm. For long time he was unable
to do any work because of the condition
his wife had brought him to. The suit
will be brought to trial the goth of
March. He does not ask alimony.
Carrie Palm has brought divorce pro-
ceedings against John Palm, her hus-
band, and asks for the custody of her
little girl and the privilege of taking
her maiden name. The complaint
made is that the hus and committed
adultery with one Ereka Nelson IN July,
1885, and shortly after deserted his wife
and she has provided for herself and
child since. They were married over
six years ago.

ual of an article concerning the st. Paul
stock yards, l would ask you kindly to
give room to the following explanation:
In compiling the manual it was my
endeayor to give information on such
topics as thought would be of gen.
eral interest to the taxpayers of
the state. While consulting one of the
officers of the dairy commission con-
corning the dairy products in the state,
the question also came up whether our
farmers would be able to raise beef and
pork to advantage, and we both feared
that they would not be able to compete
with certain other states unless they
could have equal facilities for market
in that connection. The subject of the
stock yards was so strongly i'm
pressed upon my mind that l asked
that officer to procure from the only
stockyardS in the state such statement
as would enlighten the public Oh that
subject, and present 1t to me, together
with his own concerning the dairy pro-
ducts; and that is all there is of it. Per-
haps it was an error on my part, and if
so alone am responsible for it, for it
was at my request the information was
given by the Stock Yards company.
Yours truly, ii. MATTsoN,
Secretary of State.

JeSsaline Rodgers annual benefit at
the Pence last night drew q crowded
house of admirers. Miss Rodgers APP
peared as Fanchon, and gave a beauti7
full portrayal of the character. Miss
Rogers will play Lorle tonight and
the remainder of the week. closing her
engagement this season at the Pence
next Saturday night.
1t is said of Cora Tanner, who appears
at the Grand next week in "Fascina-
tion,'' the new play Robert Buchanan,
the English poet and novelist, has
written for her, that the best eXempiifi-
cation of her skill is pointed out in the
scene where, as young gentleman. she
invades the nest of the siren and even
makes love to her. In this one bit
where the situation is so delicately
poised that a misstep would plunge it
into burlesque-it is admitted that she
acqnits herself with most excellent skill.

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

William S. King has commenced ac-
ton in the district court to have cIaims
made by Price Jones and Crawford Shell
don in thirty-four lots in Calhoun park,
and other property including several
blocks in Remington's second addition
set aside.
Phillip VOlk has begun action against
Benjamin r. Ellis for $4,000 damages.
The defendant is claimed to be the
owner of a ferocious dog, which by his
negligence bit and badly wounded the
siX-year-old son of Mr.. Volk. 1t seems
that the little boy was attacked and bad
~ bitten in the arm by the dog while
playing in the street, and that he has
been suffering from the bite.
Beulah NJ. Lane denies in a reply
filed yesterday by Caroline A. Reming-
ION, in the case of Beulah M. Lane VS..
Robert S. lines and others, allegations
OF new matter contained and prays the
Judgment set forth in the complaint.
The case involves considerable prop
erty in the form of real estate.
Eliza G. Finch has sued S. G. Cook
and Charles III. MaXey for $1,000
claimed to be due for law books which
they appropriated to their use.

ALL SORTS.

The evening newspaper Barrett hang
ing fake and the odoriferous spring
onion are about ripe enough to pluck.
Dime museum men who are hustling
for sites would do well to remember
that the city hall has long proved pop
ular stand for the freak show business.
The Hennepin delegation has sat on
the bill abolshing the police commits
construct that body. The thought that
they can make it worse only by decreas-
ing the opposition to Mayor Baker is
comforting.
Aid. Gray isn't such an agricultural
legislator as his appearance might lead
some to expect. He is charged with re-
tanning and falling to present to the
council the report of a committee, of
which he was chairman, because its SEN
timentS didn't accord with his own.
The report was signed by all the other
members. This may not be right, but
it is good politics for Republicans.
Albert j. Pratt has found marriage
failure and prays for divorce, alleg-
ing cruel and inhuman treatment. His
lawyer can't well claim that he was
overturned. as matrimonial fights are
always at catch-weights.
Ed A. Stevens petition for new
trial in his case against the city has
been denied. Ed is going to take it to
the supreme court, and will probably
double up the claim, as he did when it
first went into the court.
1t is somewhat amusing to read that
Senator WaShburn is bucking against
j. q. Blaine in the United States sen
ate. Mr.. Blaine may discover it acct
dentally some day.
1t is said that the press agent of the
dime museum attempted suicide yester-
day on learning that the Union Stock
Yards people had adopted new, novel
and nervy form of advertising that had
not occurred to him.
The press notices for "Fascination"
say that it will presented at the Grand
next week, with Cora Tanner in the
leading role. From the programme at
the Grand one would guess that it
would be presented with Cora in pants.

SOCIAL AND MUSICAL,
The Gounod Clubs Second Con.
cert-..A College Reunion.


The second concert this season of the
Gounod club drew an audience of music
lovers that comfortably filled the
Hennepin Avenue theater. The cantata,
"Montfort," was sung, followed by a
highly pleasing programme, which in
cluded both instrumental and vocal num-
bers. The following were the soloists for
The evening: Miss Mckay, soprano:
Miss Emily Winant, contraltO; Charles
A. Knorr, tenor; George Ferguson,
barltone; Oscar RingWall, cornet;
Adolph Grethen, violin; Mrs. A. W.

the first appearance in this city of Miss
Emily Wharf, the great New York con-
traltO. She proved to have a magnifl-
cent voice of great power and sympa-
thetic sweetness. and both her numbers
were enthusiastically encored. The
concert on the whole was a delightful
one. Miss Winant gives song recital
at Dyer's musical hall this afternoon.
A very pleasant evening was enjoyed
at the hall of the Northwestern College
of Commerce and Institute of Eclectic
Shorthand last night. The occasion was
reunion of the alumni and students of
the college. After music by Prof. Gill
bert and devotional exercises, the even
ing's programme was opened by the adj
dress of welcome by II. L. Rucker.

WITHOUT MILK.
a. A. Southwick Explains the
Method of Rearing Calves.


Calves may be raised very success
fully upon variety of food substances
other than milk, though it is very de-
sirable to use little milk at first. Good
Judgment is required or failure will re
suit. Ii you never have raised many
calves, some trouble from securing may
be anticipated. l have raised many
calves in the following way with good
results. Take the calf from the cow
when two or three days old and teach
it to drink from the pail, using
new warm milk of the temperature of
the cow. Give it two quarts to feed
at first, increasing little as the calf
grows older. At the end of two weeks
if everything is all right, the amount of
milk may be reduced One-haIf and in its
stead may be substituted a Cruel made
by using the finer portion of nicely cured
sweet corn meal. One or two table
spOonfuls is enough of a meal to start
with. Make as much cruel as will
equal half the milk. Mix this with the
milk and have the temperature as
all right for few days and the calf is
strong. skinned milk NAV be used in
place of new milk. AS the calf grows
older cruel may be used entirely in
place of milk. A mixture of oats, corn,
middlingS and linseed meal, using the
finer portion, will be found to be an eX-
cellent article for cruel. This is a very
economical way of raising calves, and
is found to be as good in all respects, if
the young creatures take to it well.
Great care should be taken to keep the
calf where the temperature is even, and
where there is no danger of chill.

SPRING SEEDING.
Farmers Will Plant Wheat Early
This Year

FARMERS VIII PianG wheat Early
This Year.
Preparing the ground to receive seed
is quite general through all the dryer
sections of the Northwest, and in many
places farmers are beginning to put the
seed in the ground, says Col. j. ID. Roy
ers in the Market Record. On April
20, year ago, wheat seeding had just
begun in large part of Minnesota and
Dadota. with the ground getting in fair
condition for it. There were even at
that late date portions located on the
cold sides of ridges, and considerable
in the timber sections, that was not
ready for the seed until several days
later.
Two years ago seeding was fortnight
earlier than last year, and still two
weeks later than it is now. The Weather
is excellent. and during the middle of
the day the ground works well, though
made stiff i'll the morning by freezing q
little during the night. In some dis
tricts seed will have to be shipped in, the
production of last year being unsafe to
plant. 1t is now believed some $4,000 to
10000 bushels will supply the pressing
needs of such districts. Arrangements
are being perfected through the agency
of railroad and elevator companies to
supply the wheat to such farmers as
were stranded by last Years accidents.
The feeling is generally very confident
OF good crop, as past experience shows
that wheat of early planting Is much
less exposed to accident. and generally
turnS ont we'll
