Daniel SuIIivan's Career a Rather
Remarkable One.

1t appears that Daniel Sullivan, who
lost his life in the timber fires near
Hinckley Thursday, was formerly res
ident of this city. About fifteen years
ago, while Sullivan was at work at John
Staples camp, near GrantSburg, he
quarreled with young man and struck
him with cant hook. The unfortunate
young man died as a result of the blow,
and Sullivan fed. He was captured
at Minneapolis soon afterward by Chief
of Police Shol tall, who turned him over
to the authorities at Grantsburg, where
he broke Jail. He was again captured
at Duluth, and while being returned to
GrantsbUrg lie jumped from the train
and disappeared in the woods. He
made his way to an Indian camp, where
he remained for years, and very few
knew his whereabouts. All proceed
ingS against him were dropped, and
Sullivan was never punished for the
crime he committed.
The executive committee of the city
hospital association opened bids yeSter-
day for furnishing steam heating APP
paratus at the new hospital. Four bids

Steam heating. with steel boiler, $50;
ing, 1855; G. j. Butler q Son, hot water,
$1,000; A. A. Pond. hot water, Sl.397.
The bids were referred to Mr.. Bashford,
of st. Paul, and no action will be taken
until later meeting of the board.
r. w. Davis and Ben futile have re-
turned from trip 10 Hinckley. They
report that the pine timber owned by
Laird, Norton q Co., of Winona, has
been totally destroyed. The creeks in
the vicinity of Hinckley are dry, and
they were obliged to walk several miles
IN order to secure drink of water. MIR.
Davis says that he has never before
seen the country as dry as it now is.
Heavy rains will alone prevent the
destruction of millions of pine timber.

UNION PACIFIC REPORT.
A Decrease in Net Earnings on Ac.
count of improvements.

A Decrease in Net Earnings on Ac-
count of Improvement.
WASHINGTON. Sept. 24.-The report
of the government directors of the
Union Pacific Railway company have
been submitted to the secretary of the
interior. 1t shows that the operations
of the road for the year 1890, resulted in
a decrease of the net earnings to the
amount of S1,417,962, but the physical
condition of the property has been
fairly well maintained, and the equip
ment both of the main line and the
auxiliary roads and branches largely
increased. Compared with 1889, the
gross earnings of the Union Pacific in
1890 were increased $685.. 643, while the
net earnings decreased S1,011, 920. For
the same period the gross earnings of
all the roads composing the system in
creased s3,379,64S, while the net earn
ings decreased S1.417,76
The gross floating debt of the COM
paDy OH Dec. 81, 1885, was $40, I6l. 900.
aud although at times during the year
it was materially less, it reached on
Dec. 81, 1890. SCI 100000. OF this amount
about sl5,000,000 was the result of ex-
penditnres and advances in the con-
struction Of branch and tributary lines.
During the year about l20 miles Of new
road, exclusive Of sidings, has been
added 10 the system. In November there
was under construction III Utah about

Exercising Dogs by Proxy

The woman who advertises in Lon
don paper for the work of exercising
dogs has really hit upon a sensible and
useful idea. which, ludicrous though it
appears at first sight, might be devel-
oped with great advantage. Given, ON
the one hand, an invalid or busy person
whose dog is too cherished companion
to part with, but who is unable to give
it needful exercise, and, on the other.
a lady anxious to earn a little money
while securing an object for pleasant
walk. the plan is certainly a mutual
benefit. 1t is to be hoped that its adop-
ton would lessen the number of dogs
taken into shops, where they are an un-
qualified nuisance. The one drawback
is that perhaps the more infatuated dog
lovers will be afraid of their pets affec-
ton being transferred to the fascinating
Miss Trotter, who, in his eyes, would
be so insepara5ly connected with free
dom and fun.

Duluth Wheat.

DULUTH, Sept. 24.-Cash and September
wheat opened at the same figures as yester-
days close, october lac above and December

PASSED THE DIVIDEND.
Directors of Missouri Pacific
Postpone Action.

Postpone Action.
NEW YORK, Sept 24.-Yesterday aft
ernoon and early this morning rumors
were freely circulated that the Missouri
Pacific had suspended dividend pay
ments. At first nothing definite in re-
gard to the rumors could be obtained.
The directors of the company generally
denied that any action had been taken.
From practically official sources it was
learned last night that the controlling
directors had discussed the matter: that
statement was made that money had
already been borrowed by the company
for other purposes. and it was then de-
cided to take no action on the dividend,
In accordance with this decision no dI.
rectOrS' meeting was called to-day, as
expected, and none will be called, the
consideration of the matter being in
definitely postponed until the next
quarterly meeting.
CHICAGO, Sept. 24.-The excitement
over the passing of the Missouri Pacific
dividend, and the drop of that stock
from 7417 yesterday to 65 to-day, is lot
confined to the financial world but is
shared by railroad men, who are always
keenly interested in every new move on
the part of Jay Gould. Gossips were
busy to-day in connecting this incident
with the action of the Rock Island in
splitting its dividend in two, and spread
ing peSSimiStic rumors about the Bur-
lington, the Atchison and other western
roads.
Then report was circulated to the
effect that the Missouri Pacific was
manipulating grain rates. Railroad
officials here say that the Chicago liues
are reaping very little benefit from the
increase in the volume of east-bound
grain shipments, for the reason that
nearly all the grain is going east via
st. Louis or Duluth. Furthermore,
they insist that this would not be the
case if rates were not clandestinely cut
via those gatewayS, since Chicago is the
most natural and direct outlet for such
traffic to eastern seaboard points.
