MINNEAPOLIS MARKETS.
Chamber Of Commerce.

More frmuess was noted in the wheat
markets yesterday, and there were slightly
better prices all around. Cables still noted a
firm British market for wheat. Receipts of
winter wheat are still large at the principal
receiving points. The heavy movement in
prospect for the early months seem to cause
much caution in buying lines for long deliv-
cry. Late reports speak very hopefully of
some of the European crops.
Cash Wheat-The demand for sample
wheat was very dull to day Low grades
were especially slow, with scarcely anything
done in them. No northern sold from CSC
to 99c for spot delivery, with the bulk at Oslo

pally at 97l2c. No. 2 went at about Ole for

FUN FOR PRISONERS.

An Indian Convict Who Made
Trouble in the Bathing Pool.
In one of the Indian jails there was a
female prisoner who was pre-eminently
mischevous and fractions. says writer
in the National Review. One day when
she and her companions were taken out
TO battle as usual in the Jail tank "a large
reservoir, about 100 yards square, just
outside the jail walls, this young lady
swan out into the middle of the tank
and defied the iailer for hours. OF course
her bathing in the tank was stopped for
a time, but at last she proposed to the
taller to have letters put OH her
legs, so that she could not swim if taken
out to battle. Tie jailor kindly con-
scented to crafty her whim: but no
sooner had she reached the water than
she struck out boldly swimming, and
then pretended to be drowning from
the weight of her letters. The jailor
was terrified, and came running to me
for orders.
[ went to the side of the tank and saw
the lady plunging about like a young
porpoise. and setting us all at defiance.
a fiSherman's canoe was brought, and
the woman was eventually hunted to the
shore, not without making several at
tempts to upset the boat. A great
crowd had assembled while her per-
Torrance was going on, and, although
she had at last to submit to capture,
think that she certainly had the best Of
the days amusement.

sNEEzED OUT OF WINDOW.
This Sent Mrs. Parke's Teeth Fly
ing to the Street.


New York Tribune.
Readers of the Tribune may remem-
Der the account of young woman in
Western town who was prevented from
marrying because rival of the success
full lover had stolen her teeth. The
prospective bride refused to be welded
in a toothless condition, and the cere-
mUny was postponed. AT last the man
who had stolen the teeth led the maiden
to the altar.
The hope that some similarly touch
ing episode might come to light led
Tribune reporter yesterday to investi-
gate a curious advertisement in the
morning papers. Fhe advertisement
read:
TEETH-Lost from No. 3A Sixth av.. set
L of teeth. A suitable reward will be paid
if returned to the above address.
There is four-Story building at No.
944 Sixth avenue. John Parke, dealer
in house furnishing goods. has occupied
it for many years. He lives with his
wife in the three floors above the store.
1t was to his wife that the lost teeth be-
longed. Mrs. Parke was leaning from
the second-story window about 10
O'Clock on Saturday evening. She was
gazing at the passing multitude and was
quite unSuspiciOus of any danger. Sud-
denly an uncomfortable desire TO SneeZe
came upon her. She sneezed. Her up
per teeth were not perfect fit, and the
force of the sneeZe cast them from Mrs.
Parke's mouth and they flew out into
the night, dropping on the stone flags
below. One of two young women who
were passing picked them up. Mrs.
Parke called to her as we'll as she could
without any teeth to articulate with,
but the girl paid no attention, and
walked off with the teeth and her COM
panion down the street.
Mrs. Parke called her husband, who
was in bed. He pursued the young
women and overlook them about two
blocks away. They told HIM that they
had thrown the teeth away. He be-
lieved them and returned to his tooth
less spouse. A subsequent search about
the neighbOring sidewalks failed to dis
close the teeth. They we're a new set,
valued at S45. 1t is probable that by
their contact with the fiagstones they
were broken, but as they were mounted
with S12 worth of gold. they still re-
tanned certain commercial value.
Mrs. Parke has to stay home from
church OIL Sunday morning. She spent
the day hunting for her old set of teeth
that she had put carefully away in some
forgotten place when she bought her
new set. The lost teeth nave not as yet
been returned.

TEN of Greenhouses.
Aug. S. Swanson, the well-known
florist, is most deeply concerned in the
Midway district. At the corner of ST.
Anthony avenue and Montgomery street
he has the most extensive and the most
complete system of greenhouses in the
Northwest. 1t is quite revelation to
visit them. and, in the way of floral
decorations, better and more satisfac-
tory supplies cannot be secured any
where. Mr.. Swanson is master at his
profession. Born at GOtenburg, Swe-
den. in 1858, he emigrated to
this country in 1880, selecting to
reside in st. Paul in 1888. He filled for
years with more than ordinary success
the position of superintendent of green
houses and grounds at the state reform
school. At the end of that time he
launched out on his own account, pur-
chasing the business of Z. Y. Beals.
whose location at that time was corner
of Second and Cedar streets. By care
full attention to business and thorough
knowledge of the requirements of the
trade, Mr.. Swanson has, in addition to
his greenhouse in Midway, very pref
ty store in the EndicOtt block for the
sale of cut flowers, etc. His industry is
unequaled, and, if any one deserved the
success which has attended him, 1t is

AMONG THE FIRST.
Mr.. Shannon Was a Pioneer Set
tier in Minnesota.


There are few men who know more
about Minnesota than Robert Shannon,
for the simple reason that he has lived in
the state thirty-fve years, and, more or
less, has closely connected himself with
all the popular movements. Mr.. Shan
non is a successful business man. Per
haps the only mistake he made was not
to remain in st. Paul when he landed
here in 1856, as he went to Mankato and
followed farming for nineteen years.
His residence has been at Hamline
from 1882, when he took up real
estate, in which he continues. Mr..
Shannon is remarkably well-preServed
man for his years; he was born at Balti-
more, Nd, 1919. No one could be more
pronounced in his belief of the great
future for Midway, and by voice and
purse he is always to the front in keep
ing the district before the public. Mr..
Shannon is well known to that band of
hearty pioneers in the state whose
ranks, year by year, are being sadly
thinned He can tell some excellent
stories of the life of frontierSman, and
his description of the early days in st.
Paul are decidedly rich and racy.
