| Hudson. Wis, Sept. 1.-The Drelimi
nary examination Of Alfred !. GoSS
cashier of the Hudson Savings bank
with u view to setting aside the as
SigImenc occupied Court Commissioners
Anderson'S time for some time. This
forenoon the attorneys adjourned 10
st. Paul to argue before Judge Kelly
the petition of Emmett Rice for the
appointment Of a receiver for the Min
neapOllS property valued at 100000.
An adjournment was taken in this to
permit the lawyers to prepare printed
briefs. Judge Humphrey. the assignee
was examined briefly last evening and
Mr.. GosS has held the stand the re-
mainder Of the time in the preliminary
investigation. 40 new developments
have been made thus far and an adj
journment was taken until Sept. 20
The evidence thus far shows the
Hudson Savings bank to have been a
mere shadow, of which Mr.. GoSs was
the sole substance. There never was
such Il thing rs Il stock company. The
president for the past twenty Yeats
was the cashier. 1t was developed that
GOSS carried debit and credit accounts
upon the books Of the bank with his
deceased father and mother up to the
day the doors Of the institution were
closed. Other like singular freaks
were brought out. The attorney for
the plaintiff sought to make much of
the fact that G0SS had loaned SIT 600
to his son TO conduct the milling bust
ness at River Falls. This business was
run for many years by John Putnam &
Co. Mr.. GosS being the Go" The
concern became stranded and Mr.. GosS
took the property to prevent Il run
upon his own bank. The mill was
decided to his son, who operated it
for two years under the sty.e of j.
r. Goss & CO.. when it went down
shortly after the bank closed its
doors
The principal point the PLAINTIFF $
attorneys appear to be seeking is to
establish that there was a discrepancy
Of $50, 900 or 500. 900 between an official
statement of the banks condition
1893, and that made to the depnsitorS
five months after, when Mr.. GoSS fail
ed and filed his list of assets. This
established as Il fact, they think. vii,
bc conclusive evidence of fraud and
enable them to set side the assign
mnt and permit their clients to realize
on their attachments.

Columbus. Ohio, Sept. 1.-The Ohio

from countries that take none of our
products in trade, but demand the gold;
that all the wool growers should attend
the mass meeting called to meet at the
worlds fair Sept. % and %; that with
protection the United States would
soon have 100000 sheep worth

DAN RICE'S IDEA.
He Was Intended for a Clown and
Was Playing His Part.

| saw Il letter i'll the paper Il short
time ago in relation to Dan Rice, the
clown, which awakened some memories
in my mind, writes Il resident of De
troit to the Free Press, and l make Il
note of one here. 1t ocured in the 5O's.
Dan had his home in Girard, Pa, and
was living high" When he was ready
10 start out With his circus in the
spring he gave his first show in the
village where he lived. For some
weeks before he was ready to start he
had his display bills copiously pasted
up on every convenient place for miles
around, and the show became the sub
jcct of talk, especially among the youn-
ger people. y clergyman whose name
was not Fowler, was serving 4 church
there and was very bitter against the
circus. He took occasion to critcise
the whole thing in his pulpit, and called
Dan hard names, and charged the en-
tire affair with immortality, calling it
an enemy to the church and religion.
Fowler was Il short. thick-Set man,
With Il tremedouS chest and arm, but
with no appearance of intellect, and his
speech gave no marks of culture. He

alllde TO the matter in the ring. rs he
was noted for doing. and the crowd
was great at the tent. Very many
were surprised when no alluSiOn was
made to Mr. Fowler through all the
performance. At the close of the show
Dan made Il neat little speech, thank
ing his old neighborS for their presence
and saying some pleasant words TO
them about the village and country
near there. and declaring his regards
for them all and his hopes to come
back to them before winter.
Somebody asked Dan why he had not
referred to Mr. Fowler, as was expect
ed. and he answered promptly: "Oh,
couldn't hit him without injuring the
church, and l wouldn't do that"
Why, Dan, what do you care about
the church,
| His face assumed that serious ap-
| pearance he could give it easily, and

understand me at all. You class me

SLUMBER SONG.

Sing a sweet song,
Tender and low and long,
Until my sorrows deep,
Drowned in the sea of sleep,
Never can come again
With ache or pain.
Over on yonder hill
Hear the lone whip-poor-will
Singing in dreams a song,
Tender and low and long,
Over and over again
That far sweet strain.
Listen! and then sing low,
While my heart to and fro
Swayes into slumber long
With the low, solemn song,
Never to wake again
TO ache or pain.
