The steamers were a great attraction
yesterday. Hundreds went on board the
Parislan. The steamer officials say their
vessels attract such crowds at no other
port. The Oregon was also an object OF
great interest; and the observatory with
Its telescope for the use Of visitors was
crowded. But 1t was quarter past four
before the Oregon and Toronto came In
sight Of the telescope. They we're then
about twenty miles of.

The Keller Corupanx.

The unprecedented demand for the
Keller bob-sleds HIS stimulated manu-
featuring at the factory to degree un-
known for months. There are at pres
ent between forty and fifty men at work,
and they are turning out sleds at the
rate OF thirty per day. and it will take
two weeks more to fill the orders now
on hand. The Red River valley and
North Dakota has plenty of snow, and
the demand for sleds is greater than for
years, as stocks are low throughout that
territory, There is another branch of
woodworking which is being pushed,
also, and that is the manufacture Of
electric supplies, including pins and
brackets for the glass-insulato rs on tel.-
graph, telephone and electric light poles,
together with the eross-arms. and ro-
settles used in fitting electric lights inside
OF buildings. Mr.. Keller has perfected a
machine which completes a Din or
bracketin seven seconds, cutting a thread
and trimming the piece down to it's pro-
per size. This branch of business is
practically in its intency, but it is cap
able OF great expansion, as there is no
end to the demand for these goods. Mr.
Keller says there is ready cash market
for all that can be supplied.

mediation for the peddler's horse he sent
him to the farm of A. o. Madison, occu.
pied by Ed. Click. He claims that he
went to bed up stairs, leaving his pack
OF dry goods down stairs. When he got
ready to leave he found that his pack
had been tempered with, and he accused
the members of the family with taking
goods from it. He says Click locked up
his horse and refused to let him have if.
The peddler went back to Spooner's
house and got Mr.. Spooner to go with
him to Clicks and help him get his horse
and goods. Angry words passed be-
tween them, and he says Click struck at
him with a hatchet, and but for the in
reference of Spooner, he would have
been killed. He attempted to have Click
arrested, and went to St. Cloud to see
the county attorney, who referred him
back to Judge Barto, instruct1ng the
Judge to exact security for costs. The
Judge thought that it was a case for the
grand jury, if there were any case at all
and advised the fellow to go back to the
county attorney with his troubles.

modified approval at the glistening sur

polish of his spurs. Down at the front
gate his orderly stood, every item of his
dress and equipment a model of soldierly
trimness. Out in the center of the pa

lowered the storm flag that had been
hoisted at dawn, and were running up
in its stead the great garrison standard.

Evidently Corp. Brent had business
there and had come to stay. Instantly
she bethought her of the talk she had
heard among the officers about the colo
nePs order prohibiting the men from
crossing the parade, of the implied prom
Use that no more violations should occur
in recognition of the colonel's having re-
leased the quartet of roysterers in time
for the great match game, and of the al,
legged violation of this contract. She
was young woman of quick perception:
Brent had evidently posted himself there
to capture the malefactors should they
appear.
Quarter of an hour passed without the
faintest sound from without. She heard
Capt. Lane extinguishing the lamps in
the parlor below, and Mrs. Lane had
come tripping up to her door to say
good night, but seeing that her guest
was writing refrained from coming
farther, though Miss Marshall promptly
laid aside her pen and diary and cor

within and without, and she was just
about pulling down the shade when,
] peeping through the blinds, she saw the
dark shadowy form at the fence move
quickly, stealthily into the road. The
next moment there came the stern, low
toned challenge:
''Halt, you men,
There was an instant scurry and rush;
a muttered oath; two shadowy forms
darted out by the gate, and at top speed
their flying footsteps could be dimly
heard rushing tiptoe around to the back
of the garrison. But there was no prlr-
suit One man evidently had stood his
ground.
''Where are you going?' was Brent's
question, in the same low, stern tone.
ITO my quarters, was the answer, in
accents That were plainly defiant. "Whc
are you, and what business is it of
yours?'
Il am the corporal Of the guard, and
you are disobeying orders in entering
