West Superior's Finances Being
Strengthened in Court.
Special TO the Globe
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, Sept. g.
Eight O'Clock this evening was set for
the argument in the circuit court of an
amicable suit TO determine whether GER
tain bonds are special against the prop
erty improved or general against
the city, and in the latter
case in excess of the 5 per
cent limit and illegal, involving
directly an issue of S240,00O and indi-
rectly fully s1.000,0O0 more contem-
plated. The contractors have become
very anxious tor their money, or for
bonds which they could readily market.
1t had been openly stated that which,
ever way the case was decided in the
lower court an appeal would be at once
taken and the case rushed to a final
decision. Judge r. ID. Marshall
evidently intends to render we'll
considered deciSion-one that will be
sustained in the supreme court. First,
be declined to hear real arguments at
time, but said that the attorneys could
submit on briefs. Further, he an
nounced that a decision could not be
expected before menth or six weeks.
Suit having been commenced, the eity's
credit is under cloud until favorable
decision can be reached, and there is
much adverse criticism of those who
have involved the municipal finances in
this mess.

SIOUX FALLS, Sept. 23.-Your re-

through the appearance docket at the

the date at which the divorce business
of this city first began 10 show itself, to
find out how many divorce cases had
been FLED. The book. which runs from
April, 1890. to the last OF July, 1892, Con-
tains 1,l59 cases. Of which 130 are ac-
tions for divorce. This is a pretty fair
average, as it shows one case in nine to
be divorce cases. In the second book,
which as been running since Aug. l,
1892, there have been filed 81 cases, out
OF which . cases, or nearly half, are
actions for divorce. This makes 153
divorce cases which have been flied
since April, 1890, out of 1918 cases
docketed in that time. This is one case
insevery eight fled during the time in
question. This, of course, is not over
half the cases handled by attorneys in
This city, as several firms bring ali their
cases in other counties to avoid pub
licity. 1t is a safe estimate to make
tiat the attorneys in this city have
handled 400 divorce cases since April,
1880, or nearly 200 year.

about any reference to the preliminary
campaign which ended in the first nomi-

of the use Of ''infuence''in that memo

the air of Chicago has had n marked
eject upon Mr.. 0dell, and he desires
TO have II known that he. is above the

ROBBED BY WEIGHERS.
A Specimen Of How Shortage in
Weight Occurs

Republican organs and defenders of

OF hundreds of thousands of dollars are
very busy now in trying to make the
farmer believe that the Republican
party has been very hard at work de-
Tending and protecting the farmer
through the state warehouse commis-
sion. In this connection it may be in
teresting to show how the nillers have
Systematically robbed the farmer and
wheat grower, through the connivance
Of the commission, by defrauding the
weights. The weight fixed by the state
weighers-who are men placed in Office
sas political rewards-are absolute and
final. If the grade does not suit either
buyer or seller he may demand re-
grading: but from the figures of the
weigher there is no appeal. This being
so, the farmers have been numerically
feeced through the medium Of ''short
weights"
A few years ago there was general
complaint from all who shipped grain
into the Minneapolis mills of a universal
shortage of weight. 1t must be remem-
bered there was no political campaign
on and 10 reason TO suppress the facts.
All of the papers mentioned the CON-
plant, and the Northwestern Miller, the
organ Of the millers' association, had
several editorials upon the subject
Ten carloads of wheat, for example.
were shipped direct to one of the mills,
and when the settlement was made the
shipper learned that the weight was
several hundred pounds TO the car be-
low what he had reason 10 expect. But
there was the weight certified by the
state Weigher, and from that there was
no appeal. The farmer or shipper might
whistle for his money for the lost wheat.
How was this wheat weighed for the
state?
Did the state weigher see it weighed
and then certify 10 it?
Not much. That was not his bust
ness. He quietly let the mill do the
weighing and took the weight from the
mill books. There never were enough
weighers in Minneapolis TO be at all the
mills at once and actually weigh the
grain as ii came in.
AT the time Of the trouble, GLOBE
reporter went down to the canal and
watched the process. At one of the
largest mills carload after carload of
wheat was being unloaded from the
railroad vIaduct into the mill. The
wheat poured in stream direct TO the
scale bin of the mill. When the stream
ceased the weight was taken, entered
into book kept for that purpose, and
another car was unlOaded in a similar
way. The man who took the weight
was an employe Of the mill, and there
was no sign of a state official i'll the
neighborhood.
Where is the state weigher?" was
asked
"Oh, 1 guess he's asleep somewhere -

after while.2
