''The movement of wheat is unprece-
dented,n observed Chief Grain Inspector
Clausen Yesterday at the capitol Let me
show yon, he pursued felicitously. Here
is report from Minneapolis that illustrates
the point he continued, picking up the re-
port from his elegant roll back desk. 1T
shows S26 cars received for the day in Min
neapol1s. Then here is the Duluth report.
This shows 1S7 cars receipts, Three-fourths
OF this wheat or MORE is marked new wheat.
1t indicates that the farmers are not holding
their wheat as advised by the Alliance. 1
want to explain, moreover, that none of this
wheat is from the Dakotas. There seems to
be no movement from those states yet Now
Jet us compare these figures with the cores
ponding day Of last year. and that viii ac-
centuate the point. Here ii is: At Mime
apolis 339 cars of wheat were received and
II went into Duluth. That shows the activ
ity of the present CROP

1t looked decidedly funny to read in a
morning paper yesterday the account of
John G. Wooley's temperance speech at the
floating bethel Sunday night, illustrated by
the declaration that converts were made and
that number signed the pledge. Mr.
Wooiey did not speak and no one signed the
pledge.
Hon. Ignatius DonneIly and Coz Merriam
met yesterday for the first time since the
queer lithograph sheet has been published
by the State Fair association, showing Gov.
Merriam as the driver of a spanking pair of
grays and S. NJ. owen seated beside him. and
Ignatius Donnelly and NJ. Doran in the rear
seat of stylish Victoria. The two greeted
each other cheerily.
Il am really glad to meet my comrade who
rides in the hind seat said Gov. Merriam,
wittily.
"Ah indeed, ;" returned the ever-ready phi
losopher of the Cryptosram. so, so. Let
me return that am a magnanimous man
and l am pleased to greet my coachman Mr.
Owen is the whip man, and l am taking
friend Doran out for an airing"
The joke was turned and the governor of
fered to buy the cigars but the great Shake
sperean does not smoke.

II wonder why the contractor does not OBJ
serve the injunction of the appropriation
bill, said Mr.. Donnelly to GLOBE reporter.
II had a section incorporated in the pro-
vision for repairing the capitol building that
portion of the $4,000 should be expended
for an elevator. 1 understand no movement
has been made for an elevator, and am sur
prised."

The Law and Order league has apparently
gone into Rip Van Wrinkle sleep. After
stopping the contemplated Hall -Fitzsimmons
light they must have concluded that there
were no more worlds to conquer with the
aid Of the sheriff and militia, backed up by
the governor, so they took a little nap. But
while they were quietly doing little set to
occurred at the gymnasium rooms of the Y.
NJ. c. A. that might possibly interest them. A
wrestling match was arranged for last Satur-
day night between Carl Linderman and
Frank Harberd. Promptly at o'clock, the
prelminaries being. all settled in advance,
the two gentlemen went to work; but the
sport was of short duration. They had hardly
commenced the tussle when, at the first fall
it was discovered that Harberd's left shoul-
der blade had been broken DR.. Dedolph
was called, and, after examining the young
man, stated that he would be laid up for sew
eral weeks. In the eyes of the Law and Order
leagne this may not be brutality; but the
chances are that neither one of the contest
ants in that now famous attempted prize
fight would have been punished half as badly
when it is considered that both are experts
in their particular line.

''Ex-Mayor Pfau is, without doubt, the only
man in our district the Democrats can elect
to congress next year." SAID ex-Mayor P. H.
Carney, of Mankato, yesterday. "And it
would be pretty hard shedding if the Demo
Gratis and the Farmers Alliance people do
not fuse. You must remember ours is a
strong Republican district. We cannot elect
q Democrat without aid"
