He Loved q Lady,

P1rrsBuRa, Feb. 18-The remains Of
Anton Glatzbach, q tailor, 10 years Of
age, were found on the Allegheny river
bank near Thirty. seventh street this
morning, with . bullet hole through his
heart, another in the right temple and
a third wound in his left breast Just
above his heart. By his side was q re-
volyer with three empty chambers. His
death is Q mystery. and it is not known
whether he committed suicide or was
murdered. When he left home he had q
large sum of money and when found
he had but 10 cents. This, with the
fact that either the wound in his temple
or the one through his heart would
have caused instant death. making ID
impossible for the suicide to have in
Aioted both wounds. gives color to the
foul play theory. On the other hand,
his brother says he has been espondent
for q month Y 9 unrequitted love, and
that when he left home. last night, he
said he would never be seen alive again.
The authorities are making thorough
investigation.

Daring Act of Inccudiarium

W1NoNA, Feb. 16.-The most daring
set Of incendiarism ever attempted in
this city was perpetrated last night by
NJ. Goldberg, a Jew, and proprietor Of
the Fair store. A system of barrels
filed with straw was saturated with oil
and connected with wicking also dipped
in oil and reaching around the store,
was set en- fire by Goldberg with the in
tention of burning up his entire stock Of
goods. A policeman saw the fire soon
after it started and turned in an alarm.
Goldberg saw he was caught and fled.
But the off ser pursued and caught him,
placing him in jail. The store is located
in the heart. of the business portion Of
the city and the fire would have done
many Thousand Of dollars of damage.
The attempt was the most daring, ever
seen here and the store was visited by
hundreds of business men today who
viewed the fire trap. as yet uumoved.
Goldberg did the same thing ct La
Crosse several years ego.

ST.. PAUL, Feb. 15.-M. J. Edgerley,
secretary of the North Dakota railroad,
commission, is in the city today. Speak
of the advance in coal rates from Dick
inson, which has caused the commission
so much trouble, he said:
1.-THE advance was requested to equal
ize rates between Dickinson and Sims.
The deferential of so cents in favor Of
Sims was just in the estimation of the
commission and it will not be reduced
especially as the owners of the Diokin-
son mine state plainly that they will not;
reduce the price of coal in consideration
of the reduction in rates. This means
that all the talk they have made about
reducing rates for the benefit of the,
people is buncombe. They simply want
it for the benefit of the company. We
are not there to look after the interests
of any mining company"

OF that county whose name was Charles

che fall of 1890 Lasalere was . candidate
on the democratic ticket for re- eleotion
TO the Office of county treasurer, and the
county being pretty evenly divided po-
litically the fight was q hard one, and
friends kept borrowing money from
IAsalere promising to pay it back after
election. When the election was over
it was found that Lasalere had been re-.
elected by q small majority, and when
Il came to the annual settlement, the
first of January. 1891, the money he had
loaned out had not been returned, and
the county commissioners in making an
investigation discovered there was q
shortage of about $1,000. One
OF the bondsmen went to Lasalere.
Who was just getting up /. from
o bed of sickness, and advised him to
skip out, and under the influence of the

he made his mistake. Had he remained

TO Q him get the matter fixed up all
