RRFURNISHED THROUGHOUT.
The T. @. A. G. Rooms Entirely
Overhauled and Refitted.

The rooms of the Twin City Athletic club
have been refurnished. Elegant and appro-
pirate furniture has been added to the inter
or of the clubs apartments and many pretty
novelties and examples of brio brac decor
ate the parlors and upper chambers of this
popular ORGANIZATIONS home. The old car
pets have been removed, and in their stead
fresh and costly Wiltons and Axmensters
have been spread upon the floors. Visitors
to the club this morning will scarcely
recognize the scene of past pleasant
rendezvous. The. present apparel of the
clubs rooms, if the phrase is allowable, is
quite swell and in entire keeping with its
character and the conduct of the notable
athletic events which have of late made a
membership to the organization especially
desirable. No club in the city of Minneapo-
lis can show better furnished rooms
The club has grown to such size that the
board of directors feel that the membership
fee should be increased. Hereafter the fee
will be S25, instead of $40.

An Australian Winter.

Call it by any name you will-Indian
summer, Australian winter, or just Min
nesota autumn-it has been most de-
lightful weather.
The only people who object are the
coal and clothing dealers-with the ex-
ception of the Plymouth Clothing House,
where great assortment provides for
all sorts of weather.
1.-THE sales of 1.-The Plymouth" for
the. month Of November were nearly
one-fourth larger than the sales for No
vember Of last year, which was colder
month.
This can be accounted for either on
the ground of the increased prosperity
of the community, or else the gradual
concentration of trade with house
where long experience has shown that
money goes the fsrthest."

Injured.

Yesterday afternoon at about 5 SO ". c.

building, talking to the wife of client. She
rose as if to 60 He turned again to his
desk. Suddenly the sharp report of pistol
smote his ear. He started and turned round
just in time to catch the falling woman. He
carried her into the Office of Ankeny g. r.
win. where she was placed upon the sofa
and DR.. Allen summoned. She had
shot herself with a 32-caliberQ revolver,
the bullet entering the body just
over the lower part of the heart In it's

Elected somewhat, barely missing the apex of
the heart, passing little to the left of it.
She was Immediately carried to st. Anthony
hospital, where she now lies in a very criti-
cal condition. The chances of recovery are
against her. -
Mrs. Albert Fl. Tuffnell was the name of
the woman who as detailed above, sought to
the shooting, and declined to give any reason
for her action. From other sources it is
learned that domestic troubles are at the bot
tom OF this tragedy-as it may yet become.
For long time the Woman's husband.
Albert Tutfnell, has been the Minneapolis
manager for Wanamaker q Brown, the tailor
ing firm. They seemed devoted to each
other, but trouble arose. none OF their friends
know how, and they separated. All that &C.
Cured several months ago. About three
months since Mrs. Tuffnen caused her attor-
neys, Gllfllan. Belden Willard. to write
to her husband that she would institute
proceedings for a divorce. He seemed to
have no objection to that. But there were
some financial matters to be slaughtered out
which brought them together AS soon as
they met their anger eVapOrated, and they
compromised matters. They began living TO-
gether again, and continued SO up to week
ago. They were apparently as happy to-
gether as at any time since their marriage. but
another difference arose and he left, not
only his home, but the city. 1t was
to secure tidiugs of him that Mrs. Tuffne II
yesterday visited the Office of W. C. LeavitI,
who had been her husbands attorney. Her
heart had softened toward him and she
wanted him to return. But Mr.. Leavitt
could tell her nothing. Sadly she rose as if
TO go, but instead OF taking her departure
she whipped out pistol and fired what may
prove a fatal shot What then took place

William j. Bell, the Victim of
Painful Death, Well-Known in
st. Paul.
William j. Bell, whose peculiar death late
Friday night, was reported in yesterday
mornings GLOBE, is believed to have been
brother of the recent candidate for register
of deeds of kamsey county. He had, it is
thought, five brothers and married sister in
st. Paul. Bells friends say ne has been
drinking very hard of late. and was, perhaps,
unconscious of biting, masticating and swal-
lowing the whisky glass. He has been sepa-
rated for some time from his wife, who the
dead man thought was unfaithful to him.
The couple have been living over 219 Wash
lngton avenue, but occupying separate
rooms. About week ago Officer McNulty
was called TO their apartments by Mrs. Bell to
settle quarrel between herself and husband.
Last Sunday Bell applied to Capt. Helm 81 po-
lice headquarters for aid in rescuing his wife
from a house of ill-fame, wherein she was
regarded as the public favorite Of livery
sable man. An unsuccessful effort was
made to apprehend the couple. Bell was en-
pioyed for a time in Coles wine rooms at
Washington and ] bird avenues south.
No inquest was deemed necessary by Cor
oner Tower. post-mortem examination
revealed alcoholism as the cause of his death.
1t is not believed that the glass killed him.

Weekly Flour Output.

The aggregate flour output for the past
week was 1870 barrels, or an average of
81, 361 barrels daily. For the same period of
last year the aggregate was 153.575 barrels.
Since navigation has practically closed
freight rates have advanced Is cents per bar
rel. and the flour output, according to the
Northwestern Miller, is apt to decrease from
now until spring. Colder weather is certain
to tighten the water power. The Washburn
was shut down on Thursday night on ac-
count of the poor power and resumed opera
tons on Friday. Seventeen mills were in
operation during the week.

ALMOST A MURDER.
An ImprOmptu Duel on the Stage
at the Grand.


Yesterday afternoon. just as the last matt
nee attendants were leaving the Grand op-
era house. a man in a light colored overcoat
rushed out OF the alley leading to the stage
entrance to the theater.
"a man has been shot back there on the
STAGE" he shouted, and started on run for
doctors office.
The man in the oyercoat, who was William
BlaisdeIl, the comedian of the McCaull COM
pany. had spoken truth. On theGrand opera

little circle of members of the company w,
+. Rochester was writing in agony. His
muscles twi Oh d as just before death, and
been shot i'll a quarrel by Fred Frier, an
other member of the company.
All day yesterday the other members of the
company noticed that these two hitherto
fast friends, Rochester ana Frier, seemed to
have become malignant enemies. Several
times they almost came TO blows but were
separated by friends. But at the close of the
matinee performance the trouble eliminated.
Rochester haG just come down from his
dressing room. He met Frier on the stage.
Hot words passed, and Rochester struck
Frier, barely escaping being struck with a
bcttie. Rochester drew revolver and fired,
missing Frler, who showed his pistol I'D to
the very breast of his enemy and fired
Rochester threw up his hands, made clutch
at his side and fell. Frier, lodging q scene
brace, leveleo at him by a scene shifter. ran

armed.
Meanwhile Blaisdell. who is fast friend
of both men. mad returned with DR.. Matchan
Tears flowing down his eyes, he bent over
his PROSTATE friend. Frier, the would-be
murderer, had come down and approached
the gasping man. Blaisoell impatiently mo-
toned him away, and stopped to tenderiy
raise the unconscious form of Rochester
Charles JONES' the stage manager, bent down
too.
''What is his cue?' said Jones. perhaps
that will rouse him.
BE careful; don't hurt himl'' whispered
Blaisdell.
''Come, Willie; it all over,' said Jones'
and Rochester leaped TO his feet with roar
of laughter that shook the gallery.
What is this? What is this?' gasped BIais-
dell.
Then it all dawned upon him, and he fed,
shrieking, to the street. He was caught in
the alley and made to pay the doctors fee.

Money Volume Increased.

Among other campaign falsehoods
was the one charging the republican
policy with curtailing the volume of
money, and thereby creating strin-
gency harmful to the country. The
secretary of the treasury, IN his
official report, presents several tab
ulated statements showing, as near
" as is possible, the exact amounts
of the various kinds of money IN
actual circulation among the people,
at several different periods from
1870 to the present time. From
these tables it is shown that during
the twenty years from October /,
1870, TO Oct /, 1890, the total IN
crease of circulation was S727,OOo,'
600, making an average increase per
month of S3,032, $3.50, and an increase
per capita of S4.99, the total oircu-
lation per capita in 1870 being Sl9,97'
and in 1890, S23.96. During the
last ten years the average monthly
increase was s3,966,992, and the
increase per capita $3.50. For the
period of nineteen months from
March 4, 1889, to Oct. l, 1890, the
aggregate increase of circulation
among the people was s9S,S6S,Sl3,
making an average monthly increase
of 81, 940,35s, and an increase per
capita of about $3.50, while for the

body will look at new rough goods, even at

when wanted at prices not above last years.
OF the wholesale clothing trade
the same paper says:
There has been small inquiry for the lead
ers black worsteds and cheviots, but the pros
poets are that the manufacturers will not
carry over heavy stock OF winter goods, and
if the expected cold weather ever does come
stocks in all hands are likely te be unprecedented
~ IoD at the end of the season.
Before year rolls round the peo-
pie will discover that the ante-elec.
ton scare about high prices caused
by the Mckinley bill was simply a
political trick.-Miiscdukee Sentinel
What is here shown to be true of
the wholesale price of clothing, is
equally true of the retail trade, not
only of clothing but of substantially
every necessary of life--except
sc.ne of our own products, the high
price of which agricultural people
at least will not complain about.
If any purchaser of clothing or
other necessares of American man
ufacture finds that he has to pay
more at present than at any past
time for a list of ten such articles,
in any store in Mineral Point, and
will so show, over his own sigma
ture, the TRIBUNE will be furnished
him for one year, free of cost. So
long as this offer remains untaken,
no mere assertion that the Mckinley
tariff does or will operate to enhance
the cost of the necessaries of life
to the poor man, should be consid-
cred as ther than political clap-trap.
