Fort Smelling Alive With

the BaPteau Case Before

The heights of Fort Smelling present
very animated and martial appear
ance. The preliminary target practice
began yesterday morning, aud the reg
ular annual practice will begin next
Monday. The rifle range is marked off
by streaming banners of brightest scar
let silk, and as the crack of each gun
tells of another shot, the markers in the
trench below the targets signal the
result. Among the soldiers the familiar
vis0red cap is cast aside for the cam
paign hat of light felt, and a great many
of the markSmen shoot lying on their
backs, the gun strap about one knee,
and the butt of the rifle just back of the
head. The discomfort of the position
and the tremendous weight and recOil
OF the gun would utterly distract the
average civilians mind from his aim,
but the sun-burned soldiers shoot with
all accuracy of aim that is marvellous.
There were fOrty-nine competitors
present at the preliminary practice yes
terday morning. Thirty-eight of them
are the representatives of the different
companies of the department; five are
crack shots of the various regiments,
and six are reglmental representatives

are First Sergeant GuStave Zobel, Com

First Sergeant William n. Pickett,
Company F, Twentieth infantry. Ser
geant Pickett has as many decorations

famous shots. The officers who will

The wind was favorable and the day
a very fair one for good shooting. Some

Assembly No. SO, Knights of Labor,

regarding the Nebraska eight-hOur law,
which is at present causing some trouble
in Omaha and other cities, as will be
seen by the following telegram which
has been sent to Omaha, Grand Island
and North Platte: "Section 10 of the
agreement is a contract as to working
time, still in force, made prior to the
eight-hour law, which under the con-
stitutiOn we cannot abrogate, and the
law would thus be imperative on Union
Pacific shop employees, because of the
contract. La honor we are bound to
recognize this contract, unfortunate as
it appears. until it can be modified by
the parties to it. Our good faith as an
organization should be considered in
assisting in this matter"

HEAVY WHEAT YIELD.
Two Reports Showing Over Forty
Bushels Per Acre.

There has scarcely been time in the
history of st. Paul, when interest in the
wheat crop was so general as at the
present time. Men who never thought
of crops before are this year deeply con-
cerned in the yield and read with avid
ity all we'll authenticated reports of
yield and acreage as the threshing pro-
crosses. Bets have been frequent as to
the average yields by counties and as
to the largest yield per acre reaarted
throughout the state. Before the worlds
fair convention, yesterday, the crops
were quite freely discussed and several
remarkable yields reported. Mr.. Hardy,
of Waseca, said he knew of one yield
that threshed out forty-three bushels to
the acre. Maj. H. B. Strait. of the
Germania bank, has written to a num-
Der of friends in various parts of the
state and is beginning to receive
returns. A tremendous yield in
Lac Qui Parle county is reported to
him by p. S. Jacobson, cashier of the
Farmers State bank at Madison, who
says:
The first piece of wheat has been
threshed. 1t adjoins Madison on the
west. After it was threshed, it yielded,
according to the measurement of the
drill, over fifty bushels per acre. Some
of our men would not credit it, even if
it came from a reliable source, so j. F.
Jacobson and Berg were delegated to
measure it. After doing so they found
fifteen acres in the piece and the num-
Der of bushels reported at the elevator
showed the yield forty-three and one
eight per acre. with good and strong
siXty-one pounds to the bushel. While
growing it showed TO be fine piece,
but nothing extraordinary. 1t was esti-
mated before threshed at twenty-five.
There are several pieces of better
wheat, our average being placed at
twenty heretofore throughout the coun-
ty; after this experience, we can safely
raise it to twenty-five.
S. D. How, cashier Of the Lyon Coun-
ty National bank, at Marshall, writes:
The first wheat threshed was grown
about one mile north of town. The
buyer says it went between twenty
four and twenty-five bushels per acre.
1t is a quite general opinion that the
county is going to average twenty
bushels per acre. will note further
yields as they come in. A few near
town will thresh out of shock, but
think most farmers will stack.

chief of police, was approved.
The city clerk was authorized to con-
tract for the purchase at wholesale
prices or all stationery required for use
in the various city offices, the contract
to be made monthly.
On the motion of the president, the
city clerk was instructed to procure all
the policies of insurance on school
buildings of the city, and, when so pro-
cured, to report 10 the council the
amounts of the policies, the companies
and agents with whom the policies are
placed.
The clerk was also instructed not to
renew any of the policies of insurance

On the motion of Mr.. Murray a reso-
luton passed that the matter of open

The AZOtine company presented a
communication calling the attention OF
the council to the fact that bids had
been asked for by the city diSpOSing of
garbage, and stating the position of the
A >
company states that it holds a contract
with the city for five years for the dis
posing of garbage and dead animals
at "a yearly price of $4,000, payable
monthly. That early in March the works
OF the company were destroyed by fire,
and that permission has since been re-
fused by the building inspector to allow
the company to rebuild its premises.
The company has, in the meantime, dis
posed of the garbage at its works in
South St. Paul, for which the city has
paid. The company states also that the
question of the rebuilding of its
plant on the leYee was referred to a
special committee. and that no report
has ever been made. The company is
ready to construct building and, real
izing the opposition of the citizens of
the Fifth ward, is prepared to build in
any spot the city may designate. The
company further state, that the COM
municatiOn is sent in order that the
awarding of contract for diSposing of
garbage to other parties may not take
place, as it would lead to expensive
legal complications.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee On streets, the health officer and
the city attorney. who will meet to-
morrow evening to investigate the same.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. ia. NJ.
Stinson, general agent of the Big Four
railroad and brother-in-law of President
ingalls,, and II. A. Christy, a Buffalo
travelling man, occupied berths on a
sleeping car on the Big Four train that
reached here from the West yesterday
morning. When the two men awoke
they discovered that their clothes had
been stolen, and, wrapping themselves
in sheets, they hurried over to the
Spencer house and sent in telephone
call for hack to convey them to the
Bates, where Stinson said that he had
other clothing. The hack was sent
over from the depot, and as Stin-
son rushed across the pavement and
put his foot on the step to enter he saw
two ladies on the back seat. They dis
covered him at the same moment, and,
covering their face with their hands,
uttered scream after scream. Stinson
turned to rush back into the hotel, but
in doing so fell over Christy. who bad
followed him to the hack, and it was
some moments before they could dis
entangle themselves and regain the
hotel. Another hack was ordered, and
the two men finally got to the Bates
house, where they are now.

ACreditor Attempts to Get Even
FL With a Judgment Debtor.

~, With Judgment Debtor.
William F. Thompson, who, in 1879,
procured judgment for S6.977 against
McCaine Bros. & Barteau, then doing
business i'll Minneapolis, has filed a
complaint against Mary Barteau and
William l.. Barteau, in which he seeks
tosubject their real estate to the pay
ment of that judgment. 1t is alleged
that at the time the judg-
ment was secured the firm of
McCaine Bros. d Barteau was
insolYent. Barteau was then the hus-
band of Annice Il. Barteau, but was di-
vOrced from her in 1886 Prior to this
divorce Annice q. Barteau had, in her
own right, large amount of personal
and real property. 1t is alleged that
this property was conveyed to Mary
Bailey, now Mary Barteau. 1t is stated
that William l.. Barteau, acting as
agent, procured the conveyance of the
property to Mary Bailey for fraudulent
purposes, and afterwards married her.
1t is claimed that W. l.. Barteau owes
over $4,000 and is insolyent. The court
is asked to declare that certain real
estate standing in the name of Mary
Barteau be declared to be held by her
as in trust for the use of William l..
Barteau and that it be applied toward
satisfying said judgment.

Recent Failures Lead to One More
at Chicago.

at Chicago.
CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-The ST. John &
Marsh company, dealers in lumber in
Kansas and Colorado, made voluntary
assignment to-day to Morton B. Hull.
The company was organized six years
ago. Attorney Miller said: The face
value of the assets are 1858, 900, and they
will certainly realize S15O,OOO. The
liabilities are $145,0O0. The failure is
due to the stringeney in the money
market and the fact that the failures of
the Peter Lumber company and Howell
& Co. have made it difficult for lumber
men to get accommodations at the
banks. The company's business has
been in Kansas and Colorado, and the
accounts are what are known as SLOW"
in short, collections could not be made
fast enough to meet maturing obliga-
tiOns, and the assignment was made in
order to treat all creditors alike. If
given time the estate will pay dollar

The Interurban Mail Service
Growing in Popularity.


Capt. G. W. Hardacre. superintend
ent of the free delivery at the St.
Paul postOffice. yesterday stated that the
interurban mail route is working salts
factorily. About so per cent of the let
tiers between the Twin Cities are carried
by the interurban line. There are about
$500 to 5000 letters each way daily be-
tween the cities. The day the system
was inaugurated a half dozen letters
were dropped EN- route; the number has
increased daily and now about sixty let
tiers are dropped in the boxes each day
for st. Paul after the cars leave the
Minneapolis starting point.
Postmaster Lee said that special de-
livery by carriers is made at p. IN. to
the business parts of the city to handle
the letters carried by the interurban
line. The regular delivery of mail from
the East arriving by the fast mail and
from Duluth, which is quite heavy, is
delivered at 3:I5 p. m. Letters that are
mailed at Minneapolis late in the after
noon do not arrive in time Tor the S:15
delivery. and, as all the carriers go out
at that time, such letters mailed at Miu-
neapOlis are not delivered for two or
three hours after being mailed at that
city.
