night replies to libelous statements

ceipts from the treasurer of the

Concerning theTraveller's abandonment
of the United Press and the subsequent
attack by its mouthpiece. the New Eng
land, the paper says: 1.-The simple an
nouncement that the Traveller had &C.
quired permanent membership in the
Associated Press, the greatest news
gathering association in the world, and
that the paper no longer desired to re-
ceive its Geographic service from the
New England Press association, has
evidently caused some hearts to ache.'
after the Traveller had secured the
most valuable press franchise III the
world, and announced this fact in its
columns, and had voluntarily with
drawn from the other and smaller asso-
Citations, Boston newspapers published
the false statement that the Traveller
had lost its franchise
Instead oflosinga valuable franchise,
the Traveller has voluntarily relin-
pushed an inferior telegraphic service
for the most complete ia the world.
The Traveller has not only secured this
special franchise. but has become a
permanent member of the Associated
Press, upon an absolute equality with
the New York World and all of the
otner great newspapers of that associa-
ton. The Traveller has acted upon its
own Judgment. and has not trespassed
upon the rights or privileges of any

Washburn's VeIvety Han d.

Tracy trumpet.
A fairly authentic rumor has been in
circulation in this vicinity that the vel
vety hand of Senator Washburn was at
the, wheel III the recent changes in Muir
ray county journalism, and that he as
sisted in the evolution which brought
two Republican papers at Slayton when
there were formerly one Republican
and one of the opposition. 1t will be
remembered that he visited that locality
at about the time the changes were
made; his object, of course. was to fur
Their his chances for reelection, but
his efforts will prove futile. The people
OF this state do not wish to be further
represented in the senate by man as
closely allied with corporations and the
bondocracy as the astute gentleman
from Minneapolis. Money enough cam
not be raised to secure his election.
Furthermore, when the proper time
comes, the Republicans of this section
will be found unit for their former
able and progressive repre- sentative,

Jaw.

it. Rogers rushed from behind the bar,
letting go his right, smashed MIR.
Briggs in the jaw. The young
man fell to the floor and did
not come to for ten or fifteen
minutes. When he awoke he had
lump on the side of his face as large as
a tea cup. Pulling himself together he
disappeared from the saloon. Fifteen
minutes later he appeared at the en-
trance of the saloon with a gun. The
policeman on the beat, noticing the
large lump on Briggs jaw, suspected
that all was not right. He took hold of
the young man and instituted search
of his clothing. In one overcoat pocket
he found revolver and in the other the
knife with which Briggs had threatened

resolution authorizing the payment of
$4,000 out of the contingent fund to f.
E. Sprague to discharge a debt due to-
Mr.. Sprague for mr~"y loaned by him
to the Seventh W. d to pay for street

money and that the scheme of saddling
the debt onto the contingent fund will
not do, as his honor does not think that
the Seventh ward will ever pay the

Dull in Lumber Circles.

The local white pine trade is at an
absolute standstilI, says the Lumber
man of this date, and the winter is the
dulest that has been felt for long
time. No efforts are being made to sell
anything, and the travelling men are all
in from the road, enjoying the pleasures
of the holidays. The shipments are
very light, and as compared with last
years show Il falling off of over two
thirds. December of last year was
very good month with the lumbermen
here. as many large orders were shipped
to Chicago. But there are no features
of this kind in the trade this year, and
nothing but quiet and uneventful
period is in store for the next month.

6 THE GRIND OF THE MILLS.
Slight Decrease Reported in the
Flour Output.

iOHt
The mills in operation last week did
not average quite as we'll as in the week
before, the Miller says, and the flour
output showed decrease of 10000 bar
rels. The quantity ground was 131, 900
arrels-averaging 25,5l7 barrels daily
against $40, 9S5 barrel4 the preceding
week, 1SS, S55 barrels for the correspond
ing time in 1892. and POI, 100 barrels in
1891. The low freight rates prevailing
have made quite difference with the
mills. There is not much question but
that the rates are being made on the
basis of 27115 cents, Minneapolis to New
York, which is very low, and, as the
l make an advance to 3719 cents,
the mills are running much more
strongly than would otherwise be
the case, in order to place as much flour
as possible in transit before New Years.
There were fifteen mills in operation
yesterday, out of the whole number of
twenty-five, and they were grinding at
the rate of $4,000 barrels per twenty
four hours. A larger capacity would
be in operation. were it not that several
OF the mills are undergoing repairs that
prevent them from starting. Though
the waterpOwer is fairly good for this
season of the year, good deal of steam
has to be used to help out. The low
freight rates have rather stimulated
sales Of flour. as we'll as the production,
and last week the orders booked about
Offset the output. Most of this had to
be sold at very close prices, millers pre-
ferring often to sell at cost rather than
have to shut down. A trifie more flour
went for export than did in the week
before. bakers taking the lead. though
some patent was disposed of. The
United Kingdom was the best buyer,
but at bedrock prices.
