AT THE HORSE SALE.

The Minnesota Horsendn, in speak
ing of the approaching dates for the
combination horse sale, which is to
come off in Mankato Oct.7th and 8th,
says that the attendance promises to
be much larger than at first antici-
pated. Horses are being offered from
all parts of the state, and there is no
reason why this sale will not bring
buyers from other states, as well as
Minnesota. This will be one of the
best mediums for both seller and buy
er that has been started in our state.
Here the buyer can see all the horses
for sale over large area of country,
that would cost much time and money
to travel over to see. At this combi-
nation sale the horses can be COM
pared with one another. which often
conyinces the seller as well as the buy
er as to their relative merits, which
will be benefit to both.

MONDAYS MARKET.

December wheat opened on the
Board of Trade in Minneapolis Monday
morning at 81 .05, and within five min
utes took jump to 1.0Si, quickly fol-
lowed with a decline to S1.06, and f1f-
teen minutes later going down to
S1.002. The market closed at 99c. The
differece in price between Minneapo-
lis and Chicago is five cents, so it will
be seen that the bulls held the sway
at the beginning of business Monday
morning, pushing the quotations in
that city up as high as s1.13!. But be-
fore the close of business the bears
got in their deadly squeeze and
brought prices down to s1.04, leaving
the market in weaker condition
than when closing Saturday.
There is now no doubt but the mar
ket is controlled by spectators and
the quotations at this time have no
value to any one except to those who
are playing the game. Cablegrams
from London bear the information
that the whole situation is in the
hands of gamblers and no good can
result to the producer at this time.
Somebody's fingers will get badly
scortched by the transaction. But
there is little sympathy for the man
who will knowingly play with a fire
brand. and less for him who takes
hold of a red-hot poker without know
ing the consequences.

DEATH OF FRANK E. SPARROW.

The light of another young life has
gone out. Frank e. Sparrow, whose
illness has been mentioned in these
columns, died Tuesday morning at the
home of his parents in Mankato at s
O'Clock and 10 minutes.
For the past few days the young
mans life had been dispaired of, though
hope, mighty even unto the end, had
not been entirely given up until late
yesterday afternoon, when the vista
tion of Death was SO apparent as to
forewarn the family and intima tie
friends that the summons had been
made and the call must be answered.
Frank E. Sparrow was born in Mil
waukee about twenty-nine years ago.
When babe about year old his par
ents removed to Mankato, where he
was educated and reared to manhood.
He developed into an excellent bust
ness man, and for some years travelled,
selling goods for the St. Paul Book
and Stationery Co. Afterwards and
three years prior to last May he sold
goods on the road for Noyes Bros. &
Cutler, wholesale druggists of St.Paul.
In June last he had tempting offer
to engage with A. G. McClurg & Co.,
wholesale stationers of Chicago, which
he accepted, and it was while on his
first trip out for this firm, and while
in Denver, that he was taken i'll. Re-
naming there for time he finally be-
came able to return to his home
in this city five weeks since, and the
hope was fondly cherished that he
might regain his accustomed health.
Not so. Three weeks ago he took to
his bed and from that time to the
hour of his death he gradually sank
away despite the efforts of medical
science and the best of nursing, The
cause of his demise is directly attrib-
uted to Bright's disease in an acute
form.
Mr.. Sparrow was most companion
able young man, of unassuming de-
meanor, correct habits and an amiable
disposition. He was the only son of
Mr.. and Mrs. p. B. Sparrow and be-
sides the parents and two sisters,
Frank leaves wide circle of friends
whose sorrow at the announcement of
his death is genuine end deep seated.
Last spring Mr.. Sparrow joined the
order Of Knights of Pythias in this
city, and while his absence from home
prevented him from enjoying, many of
its meetings, he became thoroughly
imbued with the principles and teach
ings of the order, and Immediately
won the esteem of his fellow Knights,
who, it is understood, will be privil-
edged to perform the last sad rites
over the remains of their brother at
the grave.
Funeral services were held from
the house at two o'clock Thursday
afternoon. Rev. Mr.. Taylor, rector of
ST Johns Episcopal church con-

FRIDAY, AUGUST Fl, 1891.
DEATH OF MRS. EVANS.

A telegram was received Sunday
announcing the death of Mrs. Job
Evans of Albuquerque, New Mexico,
which occurred at three O'Clock Sun
day morning. A letter was received
from Mr.. Evans a week ago, which
stated that Mrs. Evans had been very
sick with mountain fever, and that as
soon as she was better he would send
her north. Her friends were expect
ing her arrival when the sad news of
her death reached them.
The deceased was known in this
city as Clara Robinson, being daugh-
ter of the late j. H. Robinson. Mrs.
p. w. Pitcher and Mrs. Gates are
sisters of the deceased. Mrs. Evans
was raised in Mankato, and had host
Of friends to whom the intelligence of
her death comes as severe shock.
She was bright and accomplished,
possessed of many noble qualities, and
was favorite among her acQuaint-
ances. She was united in marriage to
Mr.. Evans some years ago. Their
twochildren preceded her to the grave,
one dying year ago and the other a
month ago. The sympathy of all will
go out to Mr.. Evans in his double
affection. The remains were buried
at Albuquerque Monday.

The committee appointed to investi-
gate the question, Has a mule any
moral character?' reported that the
conclusion arrived at, was, that he
hadn't.
The special order for the evening,
and the event which called out the very
large and interested gathering, was the
report of the investigating committee,
appointed to examine into the case of
young SoRREL TOP, against whom
charges were made ofwillful falsehood,
a crime punishable with expulsion.
This was now called for, and the chair
man, Roam GRANGER, took the floor.
His remarks, which were frequently
interrupted by applause, were as
follows:
"Mr. President: Your committee
through me, desire to say that they
have concluded the investigation
assigned them, and that the character
of SoRREL TOP energies from the ordeal

will remember, sir, the loud NEIGHs of
dissent which greeted his announce
ment that he had discovered on a

These were his very words-wTHoUI
A POLE! and the indignation and
establishment which followed this (as
we all thought then) marvellous eXhi
bition of mendacity was natural one
and the action of the club in promptly
preferring charges against the sup
posed offender eminently proper. But
sir, much as he astonished you and the
club, 1 shall still more astonish you by
saying that BROTHER SoRREL told the
truth. Yes, sir, the TRUTH Such q

when she replied; it frightened up like
the silver buckles on my son Johns

word of SoRREL Tops statement, and
