GROWING POPULAR.
Foot Ball Has Est ablished Itself
as an Amateur Sport.

as an Amateur Sport.
Foot ball has gained firm footing in
Minneapolis, and has reached and estab-
lished itself in popular favor. 1t is
urely an amateur game. fOstered ty
those who love outdoor sports. The
Shaw cup, presented by Hon. George K.
Shaw, was the means of bringing foot
ball prominently to the front. This
spring six clubs contested for it against
four last year. The contests, on the
grounds of the Tam O'Shanter club,
drew large crowds, and awakened con-
siderable interest in the games. In the
final matches the Thistle boys again
proved the best combination and cap
tured the cup for the second time.
The next event of interest was the con-
test for the governors cup, for which
four teams entered. In the first round
the Canadian and Tam O'Shanters were
victorious. The final game was played
in the base ball park in connection with
the Caledonian games. The contest
was battle of almost equal forces, but
the staying powers and stronger play OF
the Tam O'ShanterS proved too much
for the Canadians, and the former won
the cup by goals to 2. The result OF
of these two contests leave the Thistle
in possession of the Shaw cup, and the
Tam O'Shanter the possession of the
governors cup. Foot ball cranks are
looking forward with considerable in
terest to a contest between those two
cup-hOlders. The teams have not met
this season, but date will be fixed this

Drawing Him On.

The Duke OF Wellington was once attend
ing morning service at some fashionable
church, and was shown into the pew OF rich
city man. The offertory was for the benefit
of some important charity, and it was the
custom in those days for the members Of the
congregation to place the money on the ledge
OF the pew in readiness for tbs collecting bag
The duke put down his modest shilling,
whereupon the owner Of the pew, who did
not know who his illustrious guest was, put
down a couple of guineas. looking super
cihously at the shilling already deposited.
Without appearing to notice this the duke
calmly put down two more shillings. The
city man promptly answered the mute chal-
lenge, and promptly put down three more
guineas. This was followed By the addition
Of two more shillings to the dukes pile. The
snob was not TO De beaten, and down went
two more guiness. AT this moment the bag
came round, and the purse proud individual
with lordly air swept his SIX guireas into
the bag. The bag next came 20 the duke,

turned four shilliugs Of the pile TO his pocket,
and placed in the bag the original shilling

A Shoal Water Indicator.

An electrical shoal water indicator has
been devised by two Mexican inventors 1t
consists of strong cylinder filed with shot,
SO that when hung by a cable from ship it
will remain perfectly upright in the water.
Embedded in its center is glass or vulcanite
tube half full of mercury, the two ends being
closed by metallic plates. which. are in com
munication, by insulated wires, carried by
the cable, with an electric battery and bell on
the deck of the ship. The action of the ap-
paratus is as follows: When the vessel APP
proaches shallow water the cylinder drags on
the ground below, and is consequently no
longer upright, but is thrown on its side.
This causes the mercury in the tube to touch
both the metallic plates attached to that tube,
as above explained; the electrical circuit thus
becomes complete, and the warning bell on
the ship instantly ringS-New York Tele-

The Dogs Sense Of Justice.

suburbs is the owner Of very large and in
telligent Newfoundland dog, to which he is
much attached. The other day Max rhe
dog in question: accompanied his master to a
nsighboring market. where some purchases
were to be made, and, of course, something
for the dog was included in the list
When it came to the latter investment the
purchaser was impressed with the small re-
turn secured for his money, and the dogs
glance at the same time seemed to signify
that similar impression had taken possession
of his canine mind The purchaser was just
about to demonstrate with the dealer, when,
turning suddenly, he caught glimpse Of the
dog. who had taken his own method to get
even, and was darling through the door
with something he had seized from the bench.
The dealer did not notice the theft, and the
owner of the dog thought he was justified in
postponing any remonstrance as to his pur-
chase until a more favorable time.-Boston

THFEIOlIR OIITPIlT.

MTNNEAPoLIs, Mimi, Oct. 9.-The North
western Miller says today: ''The opera
ton of the twenty mills last week had the
effect of raising the -four output to a
pretty high point. The aggregate manu-
facture of the week was 164, 200 barrels,
averaging 27.367 barrels daily, against 151.-
800 barrels the week before, and 162,S00
barrels for the corresponding time in 1885,
The water power is growing worse if
anything and steam has to do most of the
labor. The flour market is pretty firm
with sales OF moderate volume. The
majority of mills still have orders ahead
and with the shortage of water power
threatening to heavily curtail the output
they are exercising great caution about
contracting far in advance of their current
production. The most firms, therefore,
claim to be selling about all they care to
and are holding prices firm.
The past week in grain circles has been
quite as devoid of sensational features as
the one preceding. The new crop began
to move. The crop in the northwest in
Guiding Minnesota and the Dakotas was
Appropriated at 80, 000, 900 bushels; Of that
it will require about u, 900 for bread
and seed, leaving 69,000,000 bushels to go
out as -four and wheat. The movement to
market has already taken about % per
cent of that, leaving some 80, 000.000 BUSH
els to come forward.
''Bradstreets last week republished a
misleading statement with respect to the
stocks of wheat in the northwest. That
paper gave the total stock of wheat held
October in the interior elevators of Min
nesota, Dakota, Iowa and Wisconsin as
amounting to 3,Sc0,500 bushels, when the
facts are interior elevators of Minnesota
and Dakota alone contain 4. 568, 900 bushels,
which is some 10000 bushels more than
was allowed tor the total of the five
States'
