HIS NAME WAS PADeETT.

THERE used to be an editorial writer on the
staff of the Louisville Courier-Jour7ldl of
the name of Padgett He was from the mount
aims of Tennessee, and was typical of that
country. His coat hung on him as 1t would on
clotheshorse, and his trousers were always
too short He was Of very unsuspicious ma.
ture, was strictly honest, and supposed every.
one else was.
On a certain payday the cashier was too busy
to go to the bank for currency. so Padgett was
given check for SIS as his salary for the week.
He wanted to know what it was. and the
cashier explained that he could get his money
for it by going to the bank. A few days after
he appeared in front of the paying teller's
window at the bank and presented his check.
"That is all right, Mr.. Padgett," said the
teller, ''but you will have to get someone to
identify you."

you are a set of thieves. Take the check and
keep it" He threw the paper over the railing
and marched out, and nothing could ever IN
duce him to enter bank again. 1t was his first
and last experience with the naughty paying
teller. MIR. Haldeman heard the teller's ac-
count of the affair, laughed heartily over it,
and the next payday Mr.. Padgett was given
two weeks pay at one time.

He STOOD across the street from one of our
largest hotels. The hour was late and the night
air damp. He gazed up and across, seemingly
looking for something to come out of the
window or the doorway of the hostelry. 1t was

mad. And he had right to be. AS he looked
lonely stood beside him. After a long look
at the top story of the hotel he raised his hand
and with finger pointed upward 1 followed

try this plan, and hunt rest on the outskirts.
But they should not be forced to such ex-
tremities. SO get a move on, ye would-be mine

OUR SHORT STORIES.

"T AM very sorry" said the star to the stage
manager, 'but unless Mr.. Jorkins desists
from eating onions I shall decline to kiss
Claude Melnotte again."
The stage manager reported PGulfne's ulti-
matum to his chief, the man who wore the silk
tile and did the heavy management, and in due
time Mr.. Edwin Booth Jorkins was requested
to exclude the toothsome but odoriterous vege-
table from his diet. He consented-because it
was the middle of the season and they were
playing one night stands in Tennessee tidy
walk from New York City. He didn't even say
under his breath, as his privilege was, II will

bought from the train boy several boxes Of

GERNSHEIM is GRITTY.
New Suits Against Huntington and
His Pals.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-M. Gernsheim
& Co., bankers, have begun another
suit in the supreme court against the
Central Trust company, G. P. Hunting
ton and the Houston & Central Texas
railway. This is continuation of the
fight of Mr.. Gernsheim against the al
legged uni ust assessment made under
the reorganization of the rec r saniZatiOn
of the Houston & Texas Central upon
the stockholders of the old company.
His suit recently determined was to
upset an assessment of $73 per share.
In that case the assessment was set
aside. In this new action Judge
Beach has issued an order requiring the
defendants to show cause next Friday
why they should not be enjoined from
proceeding with the new assessment OF
S71.40. The cOmplainantS attack the
correctness of the various items on the
settlement upon which the assessment
is based, and assert that the stockhOld-
ers are Improperly chagred with inter-
est of per cent to Sept. 1, 1890. on an
alleged Indebtedness of S3,000,000
claimed to be due from the Houston &
Texas company to several other roads
controlled by Mr.. Huntington. The
compIainants say further that the stock
holders never had any means Of ascer-
tanning what their debts were, and
Furthermore that no credit mas been
given for the collateral held by Hunt
ington's companies and other creditors.

Ramsey to their party. Two contests
came before the convention, and both
were settled without regard to the salts
faction of the delegates and in man
ner calculated to consolidate and unite
the various elements in the party.
There was practically but one hard fight
to be settled by the delegates, and this
was over the county attorneyshin
Two popular young lawyers of the
city were candidates for the
honor, both possessed of hosts of
friends and excellent qualifications
for the office. These facts made the
contest so close that change of three
delegates from the winner would have
nominated the gentleman defeated.
The best of feeling prevailed through
out the contest largely through the
wise and impartial rulings of the chair
man, Hon. Dan W. Lawler, and the
nomination of the successful candidate,
Thomas ID. O'Brien, was made unani-
nous on motion made by the big
hearted Dan Aberle, who was one of
the chief supporters of Hon. John H.
Ives.
OF all the other proceedings of the
convention too much cannot be said in
praise. Wisdom guided all it's deliber-
ations, and the result is that the Dem
ocracy of Ramsey county has first
class ticket in the field, judicial, county
and legislative. The recommendations
of the citizens committee were regarded
in so far as they could not be improved
upon, and if the fourteen nominees
of yesterdays convention are chosen at
the coming election, the county will be
certain of having her every interest
well cared for during the coming session

EAU CLAIRE, Wis.,. Aug. 16.-There
is in progress here before Judge Ander-
son, of Chippewa Falls, trial of suit,
the result of which will affect materi-
ally the claims of a hundred private in
dividuals and corporations in the valley
of the Chippewa. Severt Forster, a
farmer living above the Little
Falls dam on the Chippewa
river, is suing the Chippewa
logging company for damage done, to
his property by the fiowage OF that dam
during the great flood of 1884, when Eau
Claire and other river cities were inun-
dated. 1t has been a matter of great
difficulty to decide which corporation
was responsible for this damage, as no
one could tell exactly to whom this dam
belonged and by whom it was operated.
The attorneys for the plaintiff were al
most positive that it was operated by
some one of Frederick Weyerhauser's
great lumber cOrporations-either the
Mississippi or Chippewa River Logging
company. But they are now trying to
fix the blame on the Chippewa company.
The amount involved IN this one suit IS
not large, but its Importance in decid-
ing the plan of action of 100 others, is
the greatest ever known in this
part of the state. Following it
suits will be begun against the
operators of the Little Falls dam
claiming damages for injury done Chip
pewa valley property by the breaking
of Little Falls dam in 1884, involving
from S2,OO0,O0O to s5,O00,000, according
to the most careful estimates. Farm
ers and property owners are fiocking
into the city to place their claims in the
hands of attorneys, and it will indeed
be rich thing for them. The fact that
been revealed until to-day, and even
now the public knows nothing of them.
1t is rumored that the Chicago, Mil
waukee g. st. Paul road is to bring suit
for damages amounting to between
$500,000 and 81 100000.

FIGHT IN THE FIFTH.
A Warm Debate, After Which the
RanhOJ1ar nQIaOatinn Wins

Banholzer Delegation Wins.
This report admitted the two delega-
tions from the Fifth ward and divided
the vote between them. A. D. Warner,
one Of the Ives delegates of the Fifth
ward, made the opening speech. He
read the call from the GLOBE, showing
that the primary of the first precinct of
the Fifth ward was called for the corner
of Chestnut and West Seventh. Then
he showed a change had been made to
No. 201 West Seventh, without the
knowledge or consent of Aid. Banhol-
zer, member of the committee. He
argued that the primary held at the
latter place was illegal, and that the
other primary, known as the "bolters'
primary" was the legal one. "Dick's"
voice rose and his eloquence scared
higher as he dilated on the injustice
wrought. He described the Egan ballot
window In detail and told how Ives had
protested and in vain, and how Ban
holzer had been refused admission to
the room to see that all was fair. Upon
this refusal, the protestantS had ad-
journed to the place designated in the
call, where they polled an honest, full
and fair vote, without the aid of the ice

fight for men, but for the rights of men,
and he would hustle for the men nomi-
mated, but he insisted on honesty and
purity in the primaries. "Why have
we this law If it is not observed? Where
is the law when Pat Egan can vote that
ward without regard to the rights of
voters or their wishes?" He did not
believe in compromise with wrong, and
insisted on a settlement of the question.
All through his remarks Pat Egan
bobbed up and down. and when Warner
concluded he was up in arms, ready to
speak as soon as the applause which
greeted Warner had, died away. The
chair suggested that it come first, as an
amendment to the report, seating the
Banholzer delegation from the Fifth.

ment on the table, and Jim Donnelly in
