CHARLES HAS GOLD.

St. Peter Tribune: It now turns out
that the palace Club" that went up
from Minneapolis to Redwood Falls
to do some cleaning out was not what
it's name would indicate. The palace
Club" was made up of the best play
ers in the sawdust city-a picked club
in fact. And then, latter appropriating
an assumed name, to go-home with
the word "Defeat" upon their banner
was the unkindest cut of all. There is
nothing in Minneapolis, locally speak
ing, that can touch one side of Bux-
ton, Dickson and French. There are
ten idle twenty dollar gold pieces
ready to verify this statement. It's
in Buttons pockets.

TWO KIDNAppERS.
Two Tourists Get Gay With a Boy
and are Fined $12 Each.

An attempt at kidnapping was made
at Belview last Saturday afternoon,
when two men, giving their names as
Thurlow Young and Thomas Nickel
lup, who had been working for David
Alexander, prominent farmer OF
Vesta, attempted to kidnap twelve
vear-old adopted son of Mr.. Alexander.
The two fellows had painted the glor-
les of the summer tourist to the boy
until he asked them to devise plan
for his departure with them. Satur-
day they were released from Mr.. Alex
ander's employ. They packed nearly
all of the clothing of the young fellow
in their trunks without Mr.. or Mrs.
Alexander being aware of it, and we're
taken to Belview an hour later to catch
the west bound train. The young fell
low had been given instructions to
chase across country for Echo where
they would meet him, and as soon as
his adopted father left he made for
that town. Mr.. Alexander, returning
home, WIS made aware of what had
happened. He started for Echo i'm
mediately on horseback, reaching there
about the same time that the train did.
He got the boy and was about to jerk

Charles reply, and rushing upon
Junger, he beat him almost unmerci
fully. Junger was carried into the
house and DR.. Finn called. Two ribs
were found to be broken, and fears of
internal injuries were entertained.
These became stronger as Junger
grew worse aud his condition became
more critical. He spit blood Tuesday
and Wednesday, and was on the de-
cline, and while DR.. Finn is in ST.
Paul, those who have seen Junger say
he cannot live.
Charles was arrested Tuesday after
noon, charged with assault in the sec
ond degree. Judge French, of tie
Police Court, held him to the grand
jury in $1,000 bail, but it is likely that
this charge will be withdrawn and one
of murder substituted as soou as
Junger passes away, which is likely
to be very shortly.

WHEAT GOES up.

The general feeling is that wheat
will continue to become a marketable
commodity as time passes by, and
that the prices will grow stronger
from day to day. It has been climb
ing up the price ladder slowly, and
when it touched SO cents at this sta
ton last Monday and continued the
same over Tuesday, with advices from
Chicago that the market was more
firm, the feeling among all interested
was that only necessary sales should
be made. A logical statement might
be that as fast as, the money becomes
easier the price Of wheat will continue
to rise. Sixty cents may be looked for
in October.
Farmers should not become too en-
husiastic, however, and refuse to sell
when they can get what good judg-
ment dictates is a fair price. Figure
in seed, labor of seeding, harvesting
and threshing, and then add fair
profit. When the figure reaches your
price, sell.

WILL PROBABLY BE MURDER
Will Charles Co1d-Blooded Attack
on Henry Junger.

What will almost undoubtedly be a
clear case of murder occurred on the
Flats in this city last Thursday even
ing, when Will Charles, a half breed,
viciously and without provocation, as
saulted Henry Junger, a well-known
character at about town, who spends a
portion of his time loafng around the
saloons.
The story, as near as can be learned
by the GAZETTE reporter, is that Jung
or was attempting to get his cow into
the yard adjoining his residence on
the Flats, when Charles rushed out of
the house and inquired:
what in hi are you making so
much noise about?"
"None of your business" was the
reply.

on its new foundation for occupancy
this winter, and also to place the first
floor on the foundation for the new
portion, and if possible, construct the
frame work for the same.
This was all done in pursuance of a
sermon delivered by Rev. Hanscom
last Sunday morning. It was delivered
in the old church, with it's walls partly
stripped Of plaster, and otherwise di-
lapidated. His sermon was from Ne
hemiah, Sd ", 9Th chapter, Il am do
ing q great work, SO I cannot come
down." He thought that the plan Of
building a new church was good one;
the plan had no enemies unless some
narrow minded person in the com.
munity was such. The whole COM
munity was in sympathy with the
idea, and if worked right the new
church ought to get aid from all citi-
zens.
The poor old church looked as
though it had been storm beaten off
Cape Horn, and members of the con-
gregation should exercise. that spirit
of sacrifice to carry out the plans pro-
posed above, said Mr.. Hanscom. The
opera house did not haye good effect
on the people, who thought more of
what had been going on. the night be-
fore than the sermon.
Don't groan over hard times and
low prices" the divine concluded.
You are never as we'll off as when you
think you are. If you get to grumbI-
ing you'll give your pastor the blues,
and then you may just as we'll dismiss
him."

of the county court house, an orna-
ment and credit to the county of which
every citizen may feel proud.

to Mrs. G. A. Francois and Mrs. H. G..
Schmahl, at the residence of Mrs. CA.

smilax vine and the dropping Liliaceae,
and above all, the lady's favorite fall
flower, the golden rod. A huge bell
of the Liliaceae, ornamented with the
golden rod, hung from the bay win

tidings unto the world.
At seven o'clock sharp Master Harry
Ward as page, ushered the couple into
the room under the bell, the bride be-
ing preceded by Miss Bernice Fran

aster as bouttonaire in the lapel of
the cut-a-way coat of the groom was
the only floral ornament carried by
him. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Henry Beer, of the Episcopal
Church Of the Holy Communion, was
beautiful and impressive, and lasted
but ten minutes. The bride was given
away by Mrs. G. A. Francois. The af-
frmative answers of Mr.. Dickinson
and Miss Porter were given in clear,
distinct voice,and the obligations we're
repeated in similar tone. The clergy

ceremony was over, followed by
congratulations, and the acceptance of
the new couple by relatives.
Mr.. and Mrs. G.. w. Dickinson left
on the Northwestern evening train for
Chicago and the Worlds Fair, via ST.

friends, who were aware of what was
going on, had gathered there, and just
before the train pulled out a storm Of
rice arose and fell upon the happy
couple. The occupants of the train
had been given due notice, laughter
followed, and Conductor Hughes gave
the starting signal. The engine ex
banded and the train rolled out of the
depot.
