THAT ELOPEMENT.
Two Misguided Letters Detect
Two Misguided Lovers.

Teodore Pena is the wronged bus-
band OF Madam Pena, who had elop-
ed with worthless fellow named
Carlos Salas, from Monterey Mexico.
The husband is an hotel keeper of
that city. His wife has eight child
rem. The husband did not know of
their flight until he was handed two
letters from Salas to his wife, by
their mutual friend who had acted
for them in transmitting their love
letters. Mrs. Pena told her hus band
that she must 60 to Laredo for medi-
cal treatment. He gave her good
sum of money and told her if she
could not find relief in Laredo to go
to San Antonio for treatment.
He then went 10 another town on
business and when he returned was
handed the letters addressed to his
wife by Salas. These were intended
to have been delivered to the wife
before she left. Salas met her In
Laredo, and it is presumed she paid
the railroad fare.
Her husband is in the city and offers
to forgive her if she will return, but
she has not yet consented to do This.

to Tennessee, and Johnson had gath
cred up the odds and ends of bat
tallions and regiments in Georgia and
South Carolina, and improvised them
into an army. Lee himself did not
have over 80, 900 men when he surren-
dered to Grant, and Gen. j. E. John
son certainly did not have exceeding
that number. A preacher should
certainly take the trouble to be accu-
rate in his references to historical
events. That much il expected OF
them.
But the most wonderful statement
of Mr.. Mclean is that the doctrine
that governments are derived from
the consent of the governed" was un-
heard of before the day of Pentecost.
He uses the phrase "Chris tian
Pentecost," but as there was but one
Pentecost described in the New tes-
lament, he cannot add another to
suit his own caprice. The compass,
steam, gunpowder, electricity, the
telegraph, telephone, etc., have all
been discovered, since the time OF
Christ, but does Parson Mclean claim
these also, as the direct fruits of the
"Chrlstian Pentecost." Really, this
sort of gush, rant and can't, is IA
tiguing in the extreme, and it
derogates from the usefulness and
dignity of the Christian ministry.
The ideas in Mr.. McLean's decora.
ton Grafton are not only concealed by
the rankness Of the foliage, but bear
no proportion to his words. Ideas,
not rhetoric, is the mental food this
age demands-a fact Mr.. Mclean
would do we'll to remember in future.
His rhetoric even, is not free from
glaring faults of verbal millinery and
upholstery. Simplicity is the soul of
eloquence, vide Lincoln's thirty line
speech at Gettysburg.
The closing sentence in Mr.. Nc
Leans speech sounds strangely,
coming from a preacher-"that SOL
diers are not the cause of war, but the
restorers of peace.n France, Ger
many and Russia would not now
threaten the peace of Europe, was it
not for their immense standing ar
mics. Carrying pistols and razors is
calculated to preserve the peace, as it
does not render men quarrelsome and
aggressive, but keeps down rows.

TROUBLE SOME y =, !: DAY.

Princeton Union: There is liable
to be serious trouble at Mile Laos
lake one Of these days. The Indians
threaten to kill the first white man
that attempts to cut any hay in the
the so-called Mile, Laos reservation.
The government has declared the
reservation open to settlement. Hun
dreds Of settlers have gone in there
and taken claims and opened up
farms. Many of these settlers have
already received patents from the
government. Three new townships,
with full quota of township officers,
have been organized. There are over
800 bona fide settlers located in the
reservation. The settlers will cut the
hay on their claims and if the indians
attempt to put their threats into ex-
ecution there will be bloody work up
there, and after many valuable lives
have been sacrificed the question Of
removing the Indians will be settled
for all time.

Farmers are urged to hold their
wheat this year till the price has
reached a satisfactory figure. All
signs indicate that the price should
60 up this fall much higher than
usual, and the general belief in that
proposition will tend to hold back the
crop until the price is advanced. A
circular just issued by the Alliance
says: "Now, this year seems especi-
ally designed by Providence to help
our farming interests.
Our wheat crop promises to be
good, the European crops are worse
than they ever have been, and the re-
serves are exhausted" It is figured
out that wheat ought to be worth at
least $1.45 in the London market,
1875 in New York and $1.23 in
Duluth and Minneapolis. Farmers
are advised not to sell until those
prices are reached.

GOOD NEWS FOR FARMERS.
Mr.. Pillsbury Receives Some Interest
ing News from Russia. = y

Mr.. Pillsbury Receives Some Interest
ing News from Russia.
From the Pioneer Press. July 1s. - Il
G. A. Pillsbury was bubbling over
with good news for the farmers last
evening. At just about this time Of
year Mr.. Pillsbury is accustomed to
get reports from his agents in Russia
the general crop situation
over there. Reports have been COM
ing in for same days pas. Of the wheat
situation. These estimate the short
age there at about Is per cent,
which, on the basis Of the figures Of
past years, will give the country but
100000 for export. This is en-
couraging indeed to the American
farmer, but now comes Mr.. Pillsbury
with private cablegram regarding
the rye crop. This states that the
shortage will be fully 60 per cent.
This means good deal more than
appears on the surface. It means
that Russia's rye crop will be less
than 240,000,O00 bushels instead Of
the usual 100000 bushels, tremen-
dous falling off. Russia consumes
540,000,Ooo bushels of rye, which will
leave a rye shortage Of 300,00O,000
bushels. This, Mr.. Pil]sbury holds,
will far more than counterbalance the
the extra 100000 Of wheat. 1t
means that Russia will need every
bushel Of that wheat for her own con-
sumption, and more besides. She will
not only export no rye this year, but
no wheat as we'll. More than that,
anybody can see that 100000 BUSH
els Of wheat isn't going to take the
place Of 300000,0U0 bushels of rye,
which means that both staples will
have to be sent into Russia to supply
the home consumption. Instead of a
grain exporting country, Russia will
be, this year, a grain importing coun-
try.
All this presages great things for
the American farmer in the big mill
er's estimation. It means to him
good prices even in the event of a
good crop. and generally good times
all around for the Northwestern COM
munity. In previous years Russia
has provided one-third of the wheat
exported. This extra one-third,
with the one-third which he has
hitherto thrown into the worlds lack
pot, will be required of the American
farmer. Mr.. Pi1lsburry is naturally
jubilant over the situation and
thinks his agricultural friends should
be likewise.
!. Regarding the home crop outlook
he is not over saguine. Private re.
ports show the rust doing consider.
able damage in sections, and the gen.
eral reports that the wheat, though
big in straw, is likely to fall short o.
what it promises. But the gooG
prices all around, for all other bread
stuffs as we'll as wheat, Mr.. Pillsbur5
thinks are as good as assured.

No Prize Fight.

AS the time approached for the
much advertised prize fight between
the Australians, Hall and Fritzsim-
mons, in St. Paul, the leading citi-
Gems began to appreciate the disgrace
that would attach to the state and
city by allowing the lawless contest
to take place. 1t was arranged for
Wednesday night, but on Sunday all
the ministers and priests protested
against it, and announced public
meeting at Market Hall, Monday
night, to take measures to secure the
enforcement Of the law prohibiting
prize fights. Discussion of the mat
ter developed surprising amount Of
opposition to the contest, and one Of
the largest crowds ever gathered in
the city collected to hear Bishop Ire
land and other prominent citizens
urge the prompt action Of the officers.
The city officials refused to do any
thing; the go vernon was urged to in
terfere, and the public feeling became
so strong that he issued a proclama-
ton that practically compelled the
sheriff Of Ramsey county to stop the
fight at the cost Of bis official position
The athletic club that had the ar
rangements of the fight in charge,
ridiculed the idea of stopping the
fight until q few hours before the
time set, when the sheriff informed
them that the state militia was await
ting his orders, and the fight should
not take place. The club suddenly
discovered that it was an unlawful
sport, and agreed not to have the
fight. Nevertheless, four compan-
les of militia took possession Wednes-
day afternoon, Of the pavilion where
the fight was to take place, and held
it till morning. The athletic club is
on, several thousand dollars, but this
is probably the last effort that will
be made to arrange great prize fights
in Minnesota.

UNAPPRECIATED SCHREWDNESS.

UNAPPRECIATED SCHREWDNESS.
Louis Gravel of Belle Praiaie, lost
his residence by fire few days ago.
It was insured for 81 900, and yester-
day he accepted $500 in payment of
the lost.-Little Falls Transcript.
The UNION every once and while
rms across an article in its exchanges,
Of similar import to the above. Many
Of the insurance companies doing
business in Minnesota, when they
meet with a loss, send out, as ad-
justor, the sharpest and shrewdest
person obtainable, and it seems to be
the main effort to cut down the
amount the policy calls for just
enough so that it will hardly pay the
insured to litigate this to the UNION,
savors Of bare-faced, premeditated
robbery. Not long ago u house in
this city burned which was covered
by $4,000 insurance, and after look
ing the ground over, $500 was the
highest amount the companies would
pay to settle. The adjustors under
stood that the owners didn't desire to
rebuild, and used this information As
a lever to take 500 justly due, out of
the injured.
The time is ripe for decided kick,
long and lasting. The Union be-
lieves that if an insurance company
issued policy of$1, 600 on a house,
worth that much, or less, and &C.
cepts the premium, it should be, by
the laws of the state, compelled to
pay $1,000 if the property burns.
Let the insurance companies who is
sues policy understand that it must
pay, after the property is totally de-
stroyed, the full amount, and We
shall not have 80 much over insur-
ance, and perhaps not so many fires.
-Anoka Union.

PERSONAL POLITICS.
From the Minneapolis Tribune.

From the Minneapolis Tribune,
When the average American citizen
takes an active interest in politics he
is usually actuated by love Of coun-
try, devotion to party or for the pur-
pose Of gratifying personal ambition,
greed or malice. Sometimes two or
more of there motives are combined
and it is not always easy to deter
mine which is the controlling one.
When patriotism is the first and
controlling sentiment, the action is
every way commendable, even when
seconded by devotion to party and
personal ambition; as is certainly the
right and privilege Of every citizen
to be, ambitious. Mere devotion to
party 10 unworthy the true American,
and political activity from merely
personal motives Of any kind is I'M
patoiotic, selfish and dangerous. q e.
.Thosexho enter politics for mere
personal ends instead Of higher mo-
tives, naturally begin with the dom
inant party, failing to secure their
objects, or through hope Of higher
prefsrment, they soon drift into the
negative, minority party or become
Independents; which is another name
for political pirates.
i, All true Republicans who are actu-
ated by the higher, purer motives, be-
lieve as patriots and citizens, that the
principles of their party are right,
that they will secure and maintain
the largest measure Of good for all
tho people Of this country, they hold
their countrys interest f'rst, standing
by their party a. the best means to
secure the desired end; they are will
ing to forego personal ambition, indi-
vidual gain, or the accomplishment
Of any, mere private or local purpose.
It is unfortunate for any party, if at
any time any 'of its members, more
especially those Who have been
trusted with, Or aspire to leadership,
shall lose sight Of the principles At
issue and engage n : contest for per-
sons or plaoes. Such things have
sometimes passed without serious m
jury, but the uncertainty Of the hour,
the interests 8 stake, are such that
