GREEN GOODS MEN.
They Have Established an Agency
in Minneapolis.

Some time since it was stated that
gang of counterfeiters had located in
Minneapolis, but as no tangible evil
dence of that fact was brought to light
at the time no particular attention was
given to the statement. Now, however,
it has been definitely ascertained
that dealers in queer money
really are doing business in MinneapO-
lis, although very little further than
that has been learned. Apparently
these dealers conduct their business
principally through the mails. They
ascertain in some manner the name of a
merchant in a small town, and write
him a very carefully and skillfully
wOrded letter in which they intimate in
the most guarded terms possible that
they are prepared 10 furnish green
goods at very low prices, and that the
goods SO closely resemble the genuine
article as absolutely to defy detection.
One of these letters was received re-
Gently by u. Y. Parrier, of Pennington,
who exhibited it to a GLOBE reporter
yesterday.
The writer, after promising that all
negotiations shall be under seal of the
most profound secrecy, offers TO sell Mr..
Parrier $500 for $50. lie signs himself
Ii. b. Barney, and gives an address
which, upon Investigation, proves to be
that of a weil-knOwn saloon. The pro-
prietor, upon being questioned, stated
that he had no knowledge of any such
person as Ii. b. Barney, and that thus
far ne had received no mail addressed
to him. Mr.. Parrier will turn the letter
over to the police for investigation.

HustIino for a Market.

The franchise for the North side
market went through the council last
Friday evening. The matter is now
assuming a more certain shape. Posters
are out announcing meeting to be held
next Tuesday evening. 1t is intended
to make this meeting a rousing one, and
it is being well advertised. That the
affair will now go through all
right there is no doubt. The amount
of stock that is reported to have been
already subscribed is quite large. Sew
eral NOrthsiders have been invited to
address the meeting next Tuesday
evening, among them being Aid. Dur
ham, Kucheli, Ingenhut and Gray;
Peter Rauen. E. E. Blen. n. w. Belden,
Matt Gross ard Peter Bofferding. 1t is
expected that If the association is
quickly formed the market place can be
made ready to receive the gardeners
when the central purchase expires,
which is in November next.

scrapping of an undignified character
before this troublesome question is put
out of tue way.
Last Friday night the council distin-
guiShed itself by abandoning any fur
Their proceedings looking toward the es-
adjustment of a dump for the DISPOSE
ton of night soil. They decided to set
aside the $1,000 appropriated for the
dump, for the erection of a ere
matory on the workhouse grounds.
Meanwhile, the old dump below
the Washington avenue bridge will be
used for the night soil and stable re-
fuse. The city has no good title to
dump at that point. Moreover it is said
to be nuisance. Ere many days, it is
promised, the residents of that vicinity
will demand the removal of the dump.
They will 90 into the courts if neceS-
sary. One thing is certain, they won't
stand the dump.
Opposition to the system of dumping
refuse into the river will come from
still another quarter in his last report
the government engineer in charge of
the improvement of the Upper Misss-
sippi, said that there was little use in
spending money on river Improvements
if the city of Minneapolis were allowed
to continue dumping refuse into the
river. 1t destroys whatever good
dredge boats may accomplish. Many
men there are in Minneapolis who are
continually striving to make Minneap-
oils the head of navigation. They have
taken alarm at tile engineers report. A
movement is on foot among them to put
a stop to dumping into the river.
Another scrap will come up over the
selection of crematory for the inciner
alton of vegetable matter and dead ami
mails. An attempt will be made, of
course, to employ Kilvington's crema-
tory. Some of the men who fought
Kilvington'S crematory when it was an
actuality are still in the council and
prepared to fight it as a possibility.
Aid. Barrows is at the head of them.
He is reinforced by recent additions to
the council. KilvingtOn's personal I'M
popularity around the city hall will
enter into warfare. And there you are.
Let the ball team play as poorly as it
will. The city hall is just beginning to
furnish amusement.

the purpose of creating sensation. He

bTaced up against gust of wind which
blew around the corner of Hennepin

ITO come directly 10 the point, re-
piled the shabby scientist, ''my digestive
organs have not been called upon 10

which would be created by the sudden

such a surprise to them that they would

FARMERS WILL COOPERATE
Formation of a Warehouse Com
pany by the Hennepin County
Alliance.

AIIIanCe.
The farmers of Hennepn county are
going into the warehOusing business.
This matter has been discussed by State
Alliances numberless times. 1t has
even been considered by the national
body. Now the Hennepin County Farm
ers' Alliance will undertake to put it
into practice. The Northwestern Labor
Union outlines the plan thus:
The Hennepin County Farmers AL
lance are forming a cooperative COM
panv which has for its objects to pro-
vide a building and establish ware
house in Minneapolis which shall be in
charge of a manager, and this ware
house to receive the products of farm
ers and artiZans. and there offer them
for sale. As an important part of the
plan it is proposed on receiving these
products for sale, the financial secretary
shall give warehouse receipt for the
same, with their present market price,
and enter on the books an itemiZed &C
count of goods with price and condition.
These warehouse receipts shall be good
at any time for 80per cent of the amount
in any goods or money that the
company may hold. The 20 per cent
balance due the depositOr shall be pay
able when the goods are sold, less the
commission. The whole stock of goods,
credit and money shall stand security
for any money goods that may be de-
posted with this company. 1t is pro-
posed that the company shall be COM
posed exclusively OF farmers. artiZans
and laborers. 1t IS expected by this
plan to secure for the farmer reader
market and better prices than he now
gets for his products, and also enable
the laboring men of the cities to secure
the farm produce, such as butter, eggs,
potatoes, etc, at less prices than they
now pay, in addition to securing a
fresher and better article.
