Farmers Advised to Hold Their Wheat.

Business men at Grand Forks ex-
press grave fears that serious disar-
rangement of business will followif the
elevators do not handle the wheat.
They say if theelevators can'toperate
as private warehouses and farmers
can't sell wheat, all wheels of business
machinery must pretty much stop.
President Sterling, OF the state farm
ers' alliance, will issue a circular in q
few days, urging farmers to build gram
aries on their farms for storing wheat,
and to hold back wheat and not rush
into market faster than the railroad
commissioners can furnish cars for ship
ment. President Shortridge will also
issue circular, reviewing Gov. Burke's
veto OF the bill passed by the legisla.
ture last winter, providing for allow
ing farmers to erect warehouses on
railroad right OF way similar to the
law now in operation in South Dako-
ia, under which many warehouses are
being erected. In reference to eleva-
tor companies objection to making
daily reports under warehouse regula-
tions, the commissioners say such re-
ports to them do not require greater
knowledge of bookkeeping than daily
reports made by agents to elevator
managers.

A want OF familiarity with business
practices sometimes leads to amusing,
and sometimes to embarrassing re-
suits; and occasionally to both. A
woman who kept g. small seaside

to bring the fact to the attention of

a suitable advertisement, and carried
it to the counting room of q newspa-

"Oh!" she exclaimed. "Why, that's
very reasonable" and putting down a
dollar she started for the door.

explained that twenty-five of" meant

which ensued, killed him. This was
in West Virginia. He fled and after
a number of years located in Lenoke,
Ark, where, IN 1878, he was accused
Of gin burning. He was innocent OF
the charge, but the publicity it occas-
ioned led to his arrest by detective
from his old home. On their way to
Little Rock Grayson watched his
chance and with a shoe knife, which
he had concealed when arrested, killed
his captor. He again ran away and

time attempted to kill book agent,
whom he thought was lookingfor him.
He leaves a large family, several OF

A Sensation In MARYLAND. .

One phase of a scandal that has
stirred the entire aristocratic element
OF Maryland was aired in the district
court at Towson, Md. last week, where
Mrs. Carroll was showing cause why
she should not deliver over her baby
boy to her husband. The latter is
John Carroll, Of the famous Carroll
family, which has held the immense
landed estate known as "The Caves"
for 200 years. Mrs. Carroll has had
the reputation of being the most
beautiful woman that Baltimore has
ever known. She was seeking separa-
tion from him on grounds of drunken
ness and abuse. He retorted that
she would not have him near her and
refused to share his apartments, that
she locked him up in room and
threw buckets OF water over him. This
kind OF thing has been going on for
fifteen years. Mrs. Carroll Is worth
nearly 100000 in her own right.

A Bishops Burial.

The mortal remains of the late
Bishop Flasch of Lacrosse, Wis.,, were
committed to mother earth on the
18th inst, and the respect, love and
veneratlon in which the deceased pre-
late had been held was evidenced in
many ways. Business was generally
suspended, tokens of mourning were
displayed on the outside of public and
private buildings and residences, and
adherents of the Catholic church from
all parts of the state were there in
thousands to pay their last tribute
of respect to the memory OF the Illus
trious dead. At daylight requiem
masses were celebrated in all the
churches OF the diocese. At an early
hour an immense crowd of people be-
gan to assemble in front of St. Jo-
seph's cathedral, where the req aims
had been lying in state, and from
which the funeral was to take place.
The clergy to q total OF over $50,
were the first admitted, and having
arrayed themselves in full vestment,
took their positions within the altar
rails. The intimate friends ofthe late
bishop were next admitted, and then

at 8 O'Clock the celebratlon of solemn
pontificial requiem high mass was
commenced by the chanting of psalms
by the choir. Bishop Hennessey, of
Dubuque, Iowa, was the celebrant.
After the celebration of mass Bishop
Cotter, OF Winona, Mimi, delivered
eulogy in English and Archbishop Kat
ger, of Green Bay, delivered an exquis-
ite tribute to the memory OF the
deceased preIate in the German ton
que. At the conclusion of the service
the casket was closed and the funeral
procession started for the cemetery
of St. Joseph. The escort of honor
was composed OF the Catholic Knights
Of America, the knights of st. George
and the Bohemian Guards. The cor
tege was the largest ever witnessed in
that section OF the state, and in it's
composition demonstrated the fact
the bishop who had departed lived
close to the hearts of the common
people, and was esteemed by members
of every denomination.

Insane CarlOtta.

Further particulars have come to
light concerning the interview between
Queen Marie, of the Belgians. and the
empress Carlotta, on Monday, which
produced nearly d fatal effect on
Queen Marie. 1t appears that week
ago Monday was the thirty-tourth
anniversary OF Carlotta's marriage
to Maximillian, and it mas been Gus
tomary for King Leopold and the
queen to visit the unhappy princess on
that day, or send her some token to
alleviate the grief which always
overwhelms her about that time.
The queen and king had, by some ov-
erslght, omitted the usual tribute of
regard, and Queen Marie. on Monday,
concluded to pay Carlotta visit. At
the time OF the queens arrival Carlot-
ia was tranquil, and the physicians
consented to an interview. But upon
seeing the queen the ex-empress got
terribly excited. She seemed to have
confused recollection of the fact
that to Queen Marie had been entrust-
ed the sad task of informing her OF
her husbands fate, and she seemed to
have conceived, in her unsettled mind,
the idea that the queen had something
to do with his death. She broke out in
to awful and appalling reproaches that
nearly stunned the queen, aud exclaim-
ing Give me back my husband" made
q rush at her with outstretched arms.
An attendant rushed in and prevent
ed Carlotta from doing violence to the
queen, who was already in q fainting
condition. Marie was carried out, and
Carlotta was put under the restraint
that is usual when she exhibits vio-
lence. Queen Marie was for some time
in critical condition, but the i'm
provement already noted continues.
The ex- x-empress had for some time
past been in such a steady melanchol-
ly that her attendants had no appre.

One OF the boldest bank robberies
and murders ever perpetrated in Ohio
occurred on the 7th inst. at.Columbus
Grove, town of about 5000 people,
twelve miles north OF Columbus.
Cashier T. ]. Maple had just opened
the Exchange bank, OF which his faith
er is proprietor, and laid out about
$4,000 near the cashiers window.
About $50 a man appeared in the
door with a revolver IN each hand.
He Immediately began shooting.
Cashier Maple was struck twice, once
in the right arm and once in the right
side. AS he fell to the floor, an old
farmer, William Van Debarke, aged
go, opened the door, having come
to get his money for some logs he had
just sold. The robber turned and
shot him through the breast. The
old man fell dead in his tracks.
A third man sat in the lobby of the
bank paralyzed with fear. He was
not molested. The desperado then
grabbed $1,5OO in greenbacks, and
showed them into the pockets of his
sack coat, and darted out of the door
shouting:
"I'M a SECOND JESSE JAMES"
Quite q crowd had been attracted by
the sounds OF the shots, but there was
a scattering when the wild-eyed mur-
derer appeared on the street having a
gun in either hand and shooting indis-
criminately. One Of the bystanders,
Henry Buck, failed to get out of the
way fast enough and was struck down
by a bullet from the rapidly speaking
revolvers. The fellow ran to the out:
skirts OF the town and disappeared
into a big corn field. The desperate
is described as being short and heavy
set with q full tace and small black
mustache. He wore q black alapaca
cap, black sack coat. blue pants with
white stripe and no vest. He appear
ed to be about 80 or 35 years old.
A posse was quickly organized anc

started from West Cairo, and at this
time Sheriff O'Nelll and Chief OF Police
