The Victoria Coloniss says: A mighty
effort was made Friday to raise the steamer
San Pedro. Like all previous attempts it
was signal failure. From early morning
until O'Clock at night the smokestacks Of
the tugs and tenders and wreckers sent
heavy clouds of black smoke heavenward,
and the painting pumps struggled hard to
create a cavity, and did create
cavity, which was soon filed again,
however, by the leakage. And still
the San Pedro didn't go steaming away.
In fact she didn't raise an inch, much TO
the disappointment of Captain Whitelaw,
who has worked hard and persistently
against bad luck. When O'Clock came
and the tugs. ETC., left the wreck, there
was no noticeable change. Everything
was the same to all appearances as the
night before, and as the last and greatest
attempt to raise the sunken steamer has
proved abortive, the chances are the
machinery and movables will be taken
out OF her, and she will be abandoned. 1t
is, of course, possible that another attempt
will be made, but this is most improbable.

HELD UP AND ROBBED.
Bernard Illnghammer is Waylaid By
Armed Men and Robbed.

A few nights ago while Bernard King
hammer was coming home from his
brothers farm in sigel, where he had
been working during the week, he was
held up BY two strange men near the
Manderfeld bridge, who demanded OF
him his money One Of them grabbed
at his throat and pointed a revolver at
his head, while the other went through
his pockets. While the latter was at
work, the revolver was shot off in the
air to scare the young man and to show
him that the highwaymen meant busi-
ness. Fortunately he only had $1.50 in
his pockets and after securing this the
robbers told him to continue his Quincy.
This is the second time that an effort at
highway robbery had been made in that
section, and travelling over that road be-
gins to look dangerous.

iifests his Appreciation.

Col. Chas. b.. Flandrau and Judge
Hall of ST. Paul were N the city We'd
nesday evening, having made an over
land trip from st. Peter to this place
during the afternoon. They were on
their way to TT. Ridgley and the Yellow
Medicine Agency, and, during their stop
here, a few citizens took an opportunity
to show that the services rendered by
Judge Flandrau to our citizens In 1862
were not forgotten. A band was secured
and while the Judge was seated in front
of the Dakota House several pieces were
played and then the veteran August
Setter proposed three cheers in honor of
the city's guest. They were given with
a Will, and as The noise died away, the
Judge stepped towards the edge of
the platform and expressed his
surprise and gratitude in few
well chosen words, stating in conclusion
that if the people Of New Ulm should
ever again be bothered in an Indian War,
they should not be afraid to call on him.
From here the Judge and his compan-
ion went west Thursday morning and
returned on Saturday evening, remain
ING here over Sunday.

Protection and the { Tarmer.

& Ii. seems to me self-eyident that pro-
lection tends. to shorten the distance be-
tween the farmer and the artesan and
manufacturer, hence to diminish the cost
of exchanging their respective products,
and thus to secure to the farmer not on
ly snrer and steadier markets for his pro-
duce, but an ampler recompense for his.
labors. Such are the conclusions that
long ago made me a protectionist. Dis
ttant markets are all but inevitably in
consistent, uncertain markets. Europe
has deficient haryests one year and buys
grain Of us'quite freely, but next year
her: harvests are bounteous and she re-
'quires very little more food than she pro-
duces, no matter low freely we may be
buying Of her fabrics Hence our wheat
now sells very far below the price which
ruled here when Europe had a meager
harvest. A remote market virtually re-
sstricts the farmer to two or three great
staples, while near markets enable him
diversity his products and thus maintain
and increase the productive capacity of
the soil.-Horace Greeley.
