SEPTEMBER COAL PRICES.
The Fuel Market Seems Steady
Woes of the Dealers.

The Fuel Dealers exchange held a
meeting yesterday and fixed the prices
of coal for September delivery as fol-
lows: Egg coal, s. per ton; stove nut
coal, SS.25 per ton. There were thirty
firms represented at the meeting, and a
good deal of animation was shown in
the discussions. One orator alluded to
the propensity of the public to misun-
derstand the nature of the fuel traffic. A
great many suppose the fuel dealer to
be the natural enemNof the public
They little dream that competition in
this. as in other lines of bust
ness, has grown to a point that
renders large profits impossible. If the
st. Paul wood and coal dealers can
realize profit of 30 cents on a ton of
coal and a half dollar on a cord of wood
he will be satisfied. He could not live
very well on less. Owing-to the fire at
Superior damaged coal has been sold at
a cut. and the public jumped to the con-
cluSiOn that the market is depressed.
But the prices given above will be
firmly maintained. Damaged coal will
be sold, but with the distinct under
standing that its damaged condition is
the reason of its cheapneSS.
Coal and wOad men seem to have their
annoyances, like other people. One of
the specimens of humanity that fuel
dealers and their clerks have to contend
with is the abSent-minded gentleman,
who was told week ago to order the
fuel for the winter. When he is asked
about it by his wife, he swearS that he
ordered it, and goOd-naturedly SurmiseS
that there must have been an oversight
at the fuel office. Next morn
ing his enraged spouse puts
on a black dress, shoulders a
sable sun umbrella. and literally
Sweeps down upon the purveyOr of
bitumen. The battle is long and loud.
TwO-edged words fly thick and fast,
like death shots. But the coal king is
always expecting to have mine sprung
at his feet, and he comes through the
siege without losing a man. Nine to
one the lady will smile on him before
she leaves, and urge him to be sure and
come up some time and bring Mrs. Coal.
Another monStrosity is the lady who
enters the fuel Office carrying in
ner hand slip Of paper
upon which some dealer, recreant to the
coal trust. had written figures that he
will give here if she will only order her
fuel from him. Before ordering she
wants TO see what her regular dealer
will do about it. Of course there is but
one thing that he can do about it-meet
the cut! But preliminary to meeting
it he breathes hard, mops his brow to
redness, lifts one hand, as if he would
utter malediction upon the head of the
topper, and then says, in low. husky
tone of voice, betraying suppressed
emotion:
Madam. L see it all. The waters of
| the pool are troubled. We have been
sold out. Do you know that could
have that fellow punished by fine OF
LOCO? You are about to say that ii
would serve him right. Right you are.
| But do not speak-do not say word.
am going to meet his cut. He is COM
petitor of mine, and | thank you for ex-
posing him. But shall not crush him.

Death of Mrs. Ohage.

DR.. JuStuS Ohage has the sympathy
of the entire community for the bereave-
ment which he suffered yesterday after
noon at O'Clock. in the loss of his wife.
She was a good mother. and leaves six
children. two boys and four girls, to
console her grief-stricken mate. Mrs.
Ohage's death was as honorable as
any woman's could be, she having sue
cumbed to the rigors of childbed. The
deceased lady was from Missouri,
whence her mother and a number of
friends will come to attend the funeral.
At the time of the death DR.. Ohage
was living at 50 Irving place, only a few
doors from his new residence into
which he was shortly to have moved.
The remains will be taken to the new
house, where funeral services will be
held and continued at the Church of
the ASSUMPTION at 10 a. M.

CAPITOL GOSSIP.

Gov. Merriam returned yesterday
from his visit to Winona and Mankato-
He was very favorably impressed by
the progressiveness displayed by the
citizens of that portion of the state.
Principal Pendergast, of the state
agricultural school, was capitol caller
Yesterday. He says the additional
buildings erected to increase the &C
commodatiOn of the school will be CON-
pleted by the opening of the next term,
Oct. %. Many applications are being
made from all parts of the state for adj
mission to the school, the success of
which is now thoroughly established.
The professor also reports that the
farmers are having a remarkable crop
at Hutchinson in Mcleod county. One
man has secured 63S bushels OF wheat
from a thirteen acre crop.
B. F. Irvine is the postmaster of the
capitol. He is an old army veteran. and
there is never G.. A. r. reunion OF any

THE OYSTER MONTH.
''In the month without the R
CLAIMS and oysters poison are.


According to tradition handed down
from Webster's dictionary and the ante
deluvian ages, to-day, September l, is
the beginning of the regular oyster
season, because there is an ''r'' in the
name of the month. Such being the
case, what a sorry time this poor but
succnlent bivalVe will have after its
brief respite of four months. 1t is the
popular opinion that oysters are not
palatable until September. but how alb
suTd that proves to be when one hap
pens to live in country where oysters
are IN season all the year around. 1t is
the temperature and not the month that
regulates the oyster season. oysters
have been in the market right here I'D
this city for over month"; although as a
luxury. Now that autumn is here with
its turning leaves, cool weather and
ozone, creating appetites for bivalvular
mOlluSk tissues, oysters Will be In
greater demand, and with the fast in
creasing supply from the many Eastern
oyster markets, will be reduced in price
so that even the ordinary clerk can dine
off them with perfect impunity, Soup
houses" will spring up like magic on
all the principal streets where for 10
cents a man can sit down to bowl con-
tanning a lukewarm aqueous-lacteal com
pound, through which several large
sized Maryland oysters have waded,
and dine like king.
The extreme warm weather of the
Northwest the past month has been a
great backset to the local oyster mar
ket. The dealers cannot lay in sup
ply because, after keeping several days,
they are spoiled for use. The oysters
received here in season are generally as
fresh as those sold in Baltimore, the
greatest oyster market in the world. or
Northwest, because they are shipped
direct in refrigerator cars, and are on
sale and consumed here three days after
their shipment.

THE FOUNDING HOSPITAL
Is approaching CompletiOn---An
Idea of the Plan of Mantle
nance


Idea of the Plan of Mantle
nance.
When Judge Kerr was in the city
council he labored zealously to secure
an appropriation for founding hospi-
tai. and about $4,000 was ultimately
provided for that purpose. The build
ing is nearing completion, and will be
opened some time during the coming
month. The founding hospital will oc-
cupy the same grounds as the city and
county hospital buildings. The institu-
ton will be under the control of the
board of control, and DIR. Ancker will
be in charge OF it as physician and SUI
perintendent. A mistaken idea has
gone abroad regarding this new charity.
1t will be like any other Institution sup
ported by the taxpayers, and with only
such charges as are tributary to the
charities of the city and county. 1t is
not intended to be a general foundling'S
home. 1t is the purpose of DR.. Ancker
to conduct the hospital on the MasSachu-
sets plan; that is, it will be rather a
house of detention than permanent
abode. Infants will be received and
transferred to trustworthy women out
side, who will receive compensation for
caring for them at the rate, probably, of
SO month for every child. When the
babies grow to be children, good homes
will be sought for them among married
people who are childleSS. The county
physician is continually receiving ap-
plications from people who have no
children, and desire to become foster
parents. -
The new building will have capacity
for the shelter of eight or ten infants at
one time. The Obstetric department
will be located in the new structure,
partly on account of the babies them
selves. In many cases the young wom-
an who has recently attained mother
hood can nourish her own child and
little founding besides. The county
physician receives about three hun
dred applications a year from women
about to be delivered of illegitimate
children. OF these about 90 per cent
are not qualified to receive the benefits
of the founding hospital. Many women
who keep private lying-in places are in
the habit of trying to unload their I'M

VERY BAD DEUCEs.

Poorly Executed Two Dollar
Counterfeits i'm Circulation.
The government officials report that
counterfeit 81 silver certificates. act of
Aug. /. 1856, department series 1886, are
now in circulation in the West. The
general appearance of the note is very
bad. The vignette of Gen. Hancock is
exceptionally poor, and the background
very scratchy. In the counter in the
upper right hand corner of the face the
geometric lathe Work is not observable,
while in the genuine it is very distinct.
The check letter &c" next to the Wig
nette of Hancock is very indiStinct. and
it is omitted altogether on the right end
of the note. The small letters in the
border of the face are very indistinct.
On the back of the note the lathe work
is so poor that curSOry glance would
at once enable one to determine its false
character, and the words, bureau of
Engraving and Printing" in small
panel, lower counter of back, can haIdly
be deciphered.

MEN WE MEET.
ADoMEsTIC PROBLEM.

What color shall we paint the jail,
Ny boy. Davy:
The color of a rusty nails
The color of a victim pale:
The color of pale gravy:
The color of the Windsor hote?
The color of the Harris:
The color of the stone KaSote?
With the top-coat black as tar is?
Colonial is the style just now,
But that won't match the court house
That dinghy doth grow somehow
More and more like a fort house.
1t was your proposition. doc,
With cannon to defend ii,
And well you might backed by much rock,
And Capt. Bean TO tend it!
But if we paint the jail pale pink
The court house would look dingy--
Well have to paint them both, think,
Or, sure, they'll call us stingy.

SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUsrED
A Rag and junk Factory on Day
toms Bluff Destroyed.

A disastrous fire occurred on Dayton's
Bluff shortly after o'clock yesterday
morning. j. Firestone's big rag and
junk storehouse, in the rear of 724 East
Seventh street, was totally destroyed,
entailing loss on building and con-
tents estimated at $1,000, upon which
there was no Insurance. The fire is
supposed to have originated from spon
taneous combustion, and had gained
great Roadway when discovered. Delay
in turning in the alarm and the inflam-
inability of the big frame building pre-
vented the firemen from doing any
effective work. An adjoining stable,
owned by Fred Blazer, was damaged
about SO.

DRAMATIC DATA.

The attraction at the Newmarket this
week is one which can scarcely fail to
please the playgOer. The Twelve
Temptations" is one of the most excel
lent of the many fun-provoking pieces
in the repertoire of William Gilmore,
and this piece will be placed on the
boards of the Newmarket this evening.
The scenery used in connection with
the presentation is of the most gorgeous
character; the ballet is by the entire
company of seventy-five people. Not
the least of the attractions is the Eu-
rOpean Ballet troupe, besides which
tine Ballet of the COckatoOs," and the
policeman and the Flirt." Excellent
music is furnished by the band accom-
panying the show, and big houses are
looked for.
The Harris theater will remain closed
during the coming week, in consequence
of the impOSsibility of securing a first
class attraction on short notice. Among
the excellent attractions booked for the
season are Nat Goodwin, the Carleton
Opera company, Mile. Rhea. Clara Nor
ris, Duff Opera company, Dan SulIy.
Marie Wainwright, Emma Juch with
the G. E. Opera company, LANDS Across
the Sea-" COnried Opera company, The
Old Homestead" Minnie Madden.

Patti Rosa, Jim the Penman," Lillian
Lewis, FrankMayO, Charles Erin Verne,
and many others of like character.
T
billiard, the dislocated man, will be
the feature in CuriO hall of the Dime
Museum this week. He is a wonderful
creature, who has the power OF throw
ing every bone in his body out of Joint
at will. A marvellous mechanical vii
lage, 80 feet hong, in full operation, will
delight the little folks. and big ones as
well. LangSeth, the lOng-bearded man,
Naomi, the fat woman. and the pythOnS,
the huge monster snakes which Man.
ager McCaddOn recently received from
New York, will be among the other
features. Upon the upper stage will be
the "MerTymakerS on a Frolic." while
Devlin'S NightingaleS, very excellent
company, will appear in the lower thea
ter.

The boards at the Olympic will be
taken up tomorrow evening by the
Mabel Livingston California Gaiety
company. Among the attractions are
such well-knOwn specially performers
as Lille Ellington, Susie Stokes, Da-
Wis and Williams, Bloomer and Milton
and many others. A fun-provoking
comedy will also be presented, entitled
''Who Owns the Baby" with Billy
Wells in the leading character. The
houses were uniformly large last week,
and the patrons of the house evidently
appreciate the excellence of the quar-
tiers prepared for them. The same bill
