would you give me " your idea forth Of the
general situation you expect to see as
the result OF the large amount of money
that will be in the possession of the
farmers?" at appears to me that the
more reasonable supposition is that the
farmers will spend the proceeds of the
crop and depend upon the next crop. OF
course they will be in little better con-
dition, but will, as rule, have little
money by the time the next crop is
ready to harvest. 1t is a rare coiuci-
dence that such an extraordinary crop
should be garnered and high prices OBJ

that the state of Minnesota was fairly
prosperous last year, but fully one-half
of the goods sold by St. Paul wholesale
firms go to the Dakotas, and they have
been bare of goods for the past two or
three years on account of their crop
failures and consequent inability to pay
for the goods bought. The farming
community in q large part of those
states has been practically unclOthed,
barefooted and have had littiH to
eat. Now the crop is not only
large enough to enable them to liquidate
their indebtedness, but also to purchase
freely. The combination of large crops
and good prices puts ready money in
the hands of the producers and they can
buy and pay for their winter supplies,
consequently all the retail merchants
can purchase freely. Already there is
very perceptlble increase in the vol
ume of business, and 1t will be much
greater. The state fair always brings a
number Of visitors to town. and for sew
eral years they have been grumblers,
GROWERS and kickers over the condition
of business. But this year there were
two or three times as many Of our Gus
toners here and they ali spoke in glow
ing terms over the outlook.

D., that has a bad crop. Since have
been in st. Paul ] have never seen such
an unusually good crop, and have been
here ten years. Every crop is good,
although people have only been talking
about the wheat crop. This fact must
have its good effect upon business, and
the past two years of hard times must
give way to season of plenty and pros
perity. Some of the good effects have
already been felt. and the present
month of September has been the larg-
est month we have ever had since we
went into business. Not only ourselves,
but every jobber in the city has done a
largely Increased business, notwith-
standing the fact that this season is two
weeks later than the average. All this
prosperity in the surrounding country
must bring good healthy growth and
development to st. Paul, but l hope
there will be no boom.

INCENDIARlEs CAUGHT.
A Diabolical conspiracy Unearthed at st.
Paul by Detectives and Insurance Men.

ST. PAUL, MINI, December lone OF
the most diabolical consplracles ever con-
cocted was made public here to-nlgnG IN
che arrest of two members of gang OF in
cendiaries. who for over year nave
made a regular business OF setting
fire to houses and stores in various por-
itious of the city for the purpose OF secur-
ing a portion of the insurance money.
The scheme was unearthed by the clever
work of the Thiel Detective Service,
which has had men detailed on the case for
two months.
The detectives managed to gain the con-
fdence of the gang, and nabbed them in
the very act of applying the lighted match,
which was intended to destroy property.
Early in the fall, the Insurance Agents
of St Paul became convinced that many OF
the numerous fires here were ofincendlary
origin. A meeting of the Agents was held
and j. Quincy Haas, of the German lnsur-
ance Company, was delegated to take
charge of the matter and detect the rascalS
If possible.
As a result of his work part of the gang
are now under arrest for firing building
'on the west side at S:l5 o'clock this even
ing. The plans Of the detectives and in
surance men were all laid this afternoon.
AtS:l5 o'clock tonight Morris Michael,
In company Will DGJCSLlhO l. lOSS u,
building upon which policy of insurance
had been obtained by Floyd, the under
standing being that Michael was to receive
a part of the insurance.
The house fired this evening is at the
corner of Water and Edwards street. a
gasoline stove stood in a corner of the
kitchen. The gasoline had been turned on
and pile of straw set by the stove. A
lighted candle was placed on box in this
straw and when II had burned a short
time il would ignite the pile. Michael was
arrested just as he had closed and locked
the outside door and was leaving the
house.
The candle would have burned for about
four hours, when it was intended for the
house TO burn. The house was owned by
A. NJ Lawton. The fire department was
called out promptly, and when they ar
rived the incendiary was under arrest
Previous to this evenings fire Floyd had
trapped Michael into confession that he
had burned the house in West ST. Paul on
the percentage Of insurance pan.
One OF these was that Of his uncle, NJ.
Michael. Morris Michael has also stated
that when he lived in Chicago under the
name of John Myers, he made lots OF
money out of setting fires. Marx Michael,
an uncle of Morris, was also arrested as
being an acconplice in the business. There
are three other membess OF the gang who
will probably be arrested in few hours.

PECULIAR VENGEANCE

A Discharged Engineer Sends Loco
motive Wild Down tho Track and Into .
Train.
BERNE, December la terrible SC
cident happened to-day owing TO the
uncomfortable passion OF man who so
allowed his temper to overmaster him
that he became q veritsble maniac and
willfully sacrificed the lives OF two OF
his fellow workmen and q number OF
other persons.
The news of the startling affair, as re-
ceived here, Is 10 the effect that an en-
gineer employed on the railway line
running between Argus, q canton az
Switzerland, and Waldshut, town
Of Baden, on the Rhine, had
committed some infractlon OF the rules
of the road, and after an examination
into the matter by the officials OF the
company he was notified OF his dismis-
sal. When informed of the action OF
his superiors the engineer became In
furlated.
Watching for a favorable opportunity
the engineer entered the cab or q loco
motive, and opening the throttle or the
engine as wide as possible he jumped
from the cab and let the locomotive dash
down the track at full speed, just
as a train loaded with passengers
came rushing in the opposite direction
on the same track.
The runaway locomotive and the
passenger train plunged into cash other
with awful force, both engines
being entirely wrecked and hll-
ing the track with q mass OF
debris. The engineer and fire.
men of the passenger train
had no warning OF the terrible fate In
store for them, and were only aware OF
their great danger when too late TO
make any effort to save their lives.
Both men were caught In the wrecks
OF the engines and were instantly
killed, their bodies being frightfully
crushed and mangled. The passengers
on the train were flung In all di-
rectlons by the terrible shock OF the
collision. Three OF them were fatally
injured, and nearly all the others In
addition to the awful fright into which
they were thrown, suffered from wounds
OF more or less serious nature. Tho
greatest excitement was caused by the
accident.
