Called Down.

We are carefully considering the
following communication, and will
probably conclude the correspon-
dent doesn't need a cat:
To the Transcript Publishing Company.
You will please take notice that
each and all the statements of the
hereinafter mentioned articles
published in the the news
paper published at Little Falls,
in the County of Morrison and State
of Minnesota, known as the Little
Falls Daily Transcript, are false, de-
famatory and libelous, except so
much of the same that states that a
fire started in the building occupied
by the undersigned, that same was
discovered by night policeman Tour
tillotte, who gave the alarm, that
the fire companies were promptly on
hand and soon extinguished the fire,
that the building was owned by A.
Tanner, that there had been no fire
in the building, and that the door
and windows were in the usual con-
dition and no goods were taken.
The articles referred to are the fol-
lowing to-wit: That certain article
appearing in the third column of the
third page of the copies of said paper
published on August 10Th 1898, and
having the following headlines:
"Needs Cat. Bad Mice or Some
Mysterious Agency Cause a Fire.
Joseph Hennen's Saloon Narrowly
Escapes Destruction Last Night"
Also those three certain articles ap-
pearing in the first column of the
third page of the copies of said paper
published on August 18th, 1898,
which several articles are as follows:
"We wish to give notice that the
next man who has a l O'Clock fire
win have to prove he keeps mice or
else the Transcript will offend him."
"Chief Lafond states that the report
that the Minneapolis fire department
sent yesterday for the local Chemical
company is untrue. 1t is believed
that some fire bug wanted TO get the
Chemical out of town for a few
hours to give an honest man a
chance for his insurance. "In times
like these no man is so flush that he
will carry over insurance just to get
rid of his money by paying needless
premiums. If stock is decreased
below the insurance the agent will
cancel part of it on request, and re-
turn the surplus premium. 1t is GER
tainly not good business to carry
over insurance, and it is good
grounds for suspicion in many
places"

Puzzled Wheat Buyers.

W. L. Smith, travelling agent for
the North Dakota Elevator COM
pany, returned Saturday evening
from Minneapolis, where he had been
consulting with officers OF his COM
pany relative to moving the new
crop. Although they have given
out instructions to buyers to issue
wheat checks payable thirty days
from date at Minneapolis, tits doubt
full if even that plan is worked under
long. AS long as money is as scarce
as it now is the companys fears to
buy any wheat. All the elevators of
this company will take out licenses
as public warehouses under the state
law passed last winter, and receipts
will be given for wheat as the law
provides. 1t is scarcely probable that
currency will become any way plenti-
full soon enough to afford the ele-
vator companies relief before the new
crop begins to move. The objection
the elevator companies have to the
80 day plan is that it is possible that
even at the end of that time no
money could be procured to pay the
checks that had been issued.
To pay for the crop currency must
be brought away from the cities tc
the country, and just now the city
banks will not allow such a move
ment. Whether matters are sure tC
be better in 30 days is now puzzline
the elevator companies.

S.V. Boyer, the travelling salesman
for the North Star Boot & Shoe
company became quite excited this
week over the supposed loss OF his
three trunks containing several hun
dred samples. On the 29th he checked
them from Rices for Little Falls and
supposed he mailed the checks to
Hotel Buckman, with instructions
to take possession of the baggage.
He went home and took a two
weeks vacation, and when he came
to Little Falls he could not find his
trunks at the Buckman, and no one
there knew anything about them.
The checks were found at the depot,
and some drayman had got the
trunks. Boyer was sure he had sent
them to the Buckman, but a two
days search OF the town finally re-
vealed them safely stored at the
Minnesota House on his order. The
checks had been sent there by Boyer
by mistake, who had in mind the
name of the leading hotel at Detroit.

Back. from the East.

Henning Landau returned from
the East last evening, where he had
been on business trip. He was in
New York for some time comforting
with A. E. Johnson, the head Of the
great land and immigration firm
that he represents. The business OF
this cOmpany-A.E E. johnson &C.,
is not as large this year as, usual,
owing to the cause that is curtailing
all lines-financiall depression. Com
paratively few people are coming
from Norway, Sweden and Germany
at present, while an unusual NUMBER
are returning from this country to
Europe. Those who have been here
a few years and saved considerable
money with which to buy homes
have lately changed their plans and
are going back to their native lands
to either remain or await better
times. Mr.. L. says that the steamers
are now actually taking more people
to those countries than they are
bringing this way.
He says this part of the country
has no idea of the scarcity of cur
rency in New Yory city. When he
attempted to get a small draft on a
New York bank cashed they refused
to do it for him and insisted that he
take certified checks. They COM
PEELED him to take these checks to
pay his hotel bills with.
He met Peyton N. Clarke of Louis
vile, who is one OF the gentlemen
who has control of the Antlers hotel,
and was informed that the efforts to
have it opened again in the near
future had been abandoned. Mr..
Landau was instructed to dispose
of the personal property about the
hotel at once.

She Married the Man Of Peace.

AS Annie Thomas was the only woman
in Kamania county, Wash, there was nat
urally good deal Of rivalry for her hand
among the settlers Hank Monley and
Jerry Woods seemed to be the highest in
her favor, and so it was finally agreed that
these two men should settle the question
between them by duel with bowie knives.
After desperate fight in which both were
wounded the battle was declared draw.
It was then agreed that the matrimonial
question should be settled by a game Of
seven up. The fortune Of cards favored
Monley, and he was declared the winner.
A parson was called in to assure him his
prize The fckle Annie had a long talk
with the parson, and though she had never
seen him before she at last announced her
intention OF marrying the parson himself
and not MonIey. In vain did the hero OF
the bowie knife duel and the victor in the
game of seven up object to this proceeding.
The woman was firm in her intention, and
the upshot was that the parson got the
woman. -

st. Cloud has finally discovered
that the laws do not allow the city
to issue the necessary amount Of
bonds to purchase the water works
plant, so the matter is dropped. The
committee of the council estimates
the cost of the plant at between
$115.000 or$125,000. The Daily Times
seems to blame the journal Press be-
cause the plant wasn't purchased,
and says the latter paper is con-

FALSE WIFE.
=
Mre. George Hall Deserte Her
Confiding Husband and
Flees to Minneapolis.
She Takee With Her One Win.
fred Cameron, Her Hue
bands Former Partner. =

From Fridays Daily.
George Hall, the drayman and
Winfred Cameron have been part
ners in the restaurant business for
the past few months, their rooms
being on First street, just south of
Turpin & Whites. Hall has given
most of his attention to the draying
business, and the restaurant was
run by Mrs. Hall and Cameron. Hall
had began recently to suspect that
the conduct of his partner and his
wife was not just what it should be,
and it was quite evident that Cam.
,eron had q rather exaggerated idea
of his rights in the partnership. He
had a habit of haunting the bed
room of Halls wife, and did other
things that intended to grieve
George, who had before this expert
ence lost a wife through the wrong
conduct of another man. Yesterday
Hall talked of arresting Cameron,
and finally attempted to drive him
from the premises. His efforts were
unsuccessful, and he was rescued
from the violent hands of his wife
and Cameron by policeman. Last
evening he discovered that his wife
and Cameron had their trunks
packed, and he thought it an indica-
tion that they intended to leave. He
claimed that some of the goods were
his, and decided to have an officer
detain the trunks and lovers if an ef-
fort was made to leave. He there
fore ''stood guard over the trunks
in the restaurant during the night,
but he forgot to stay awake. About
8 O'Clock the elopers departed with
the trunks, not even awakening Hall
to say goodbye. They boarded the
1925 train for Minneapolis. and Hall
woke up this morning and felt so re-
freshed that he had a warrant issued
for their arrest but it is doubt
full if it is ever served. He was
married to his recent wife something
over a year ago, after a brief ac-
quaintance. Before coming to Lit
tie Falls a wife deserted Hall, we are
informed.
