Peter Maurin, wealthy merchant

chants yesterday with his two
daughters. Not long since Mr.. Maui

played by Ehle Allen. The two were
talking politics, In. the course OF
which Mr.. Maurin. made the asser-
tion that the Office of the Merchants
in which they: were standing, and
which was well filled with people,
contained large majority of Repub-
licans. Ehle quietly passed the word
among the guests, requesting them
to say they were Democrats when
asked as to their politics. Then he
laid wager with Maurin that the
Democrats were in majority. The
house was polled. and, to the sur
prise Of Mr.. Maurin, .all said they
were DEMOCRATS except six. He paid
the wager, consisting of a box of
cigars, and subsequently learned the

FIXED 1T UP.
IN alleged Case of Rape, an
Hrrest and a Com.
promise.
n Bond Given Which Is Ger
tain1y a Novelty in Social
AFFAIRS.

Last evening about II O'Clock
Judge Shaw was aroused by Mrs
Anna Cheleswaska, who wished tC
have a warrant issued against Johr
P. Wagner for the crime of rape or
her person. An officer at once served
the warrant, and this morning the
city was somewhat excited over the
sensation. Wagner easily obtained
bonds, and his friends soon put into
execution plans for a settlement ol
the trouble. Wagner claims that
the case is entirely different from
representations, and that he is not
guilty of any assault. He went
there by appointment with the
woman, and there was entire com.
pliance with his desires. She then
repented her sin, and demanded that
reparation be made by marriage
This he refused to consent to, and
out for his arrest. This forenoon
the matter was "settled" by the
payment to Mrs. Cheleswaska OF $50
in money, and the making of bond
satisfactory to her. The bond is q
peculiar instrumental indeed, if we are
correctly informed, and provides
that if the Developments of the com.
ing months shall be such as to add
to the family cares of the woman
that Mr.. Wagner shall either pay to
her $500 or shall care for the child
Upon the bond are the names Of two
citizens in addition to Mr.. Wagner s
who will see that the covenant is
kept. Wagner is an unmarried man,
engaged in the manufacture o.
cigars, and has lived here about
three years. Mrs. c. is a Polish
widow, and has a family of small
boys.

HOW TO SEE THE WORLDS FAIR.
Suggestions as to the most Convenient
and Economical
Methods.

When you go to the Worlds Fair
do not take trunk with you If you
can possibly get along without it,
but pack your few necessary travel
ing articles in a hand bag or grip
and carry it along with you. You

way. Then get your ticket from
Little F alls to Chicago and the great,
est Fair the World has ever seen,
reading via st. Paul and thence via
.'The North Western Line' to

runs three superbly equipped trains
from st. Paul to Chicago, leaving st.
Paul at 500 a.. m. and 6:25 p. m.
daily except Sunday and $40 p. m.

Chicago than any other line. When
you arrive in Chicago you will find
Worlds Fair omnibuses at "The
Northwestern Line" depot which
will take you to the Van Buren,
| Street sta ton Of the Illinois Central
road, where trains for the Fair leave

Worlds Fair steamers can be taken
for the Fair every ten mintues, or
you can take a steam ferry from the

rect to the same place via the Chica-
go River and making connections
with the famous whaleback steamer

THE MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
Looking After the Alum and Ammonia
Baking Powders.
CSf Paul Pionao1. Proaa I

A bill for an act in relation to the
manufacture and sale of baking pow
ders, to prevent fraud and preserve
the health has been introduced in the
Legislature at st. Paul The bill is
intended to prevent the adulteration
OF baking powders with Alum or
Ammonia, imposing proper penalties
to enforce the law, etc.
This shows an earnest desire on
the part of our State representatives
to protect their constituents.
The Chicago Tribune, referring to
the question of legislation ON Alum
and Ammonia baking powders, says:
1T deals in a direct manner with
an evil that must be cut down.
DR.. Chas. w. Drew, chemist for the
Minnesota State Diary and Food
Commission, in his elaborate report
of 1892, gives list of one hundred
and seventy-three different brands of
Alum baking powders alone-sold in
Minnesota.
Following is a list of the more
widely known brands that Mr.. Drew ,
as we'll as other chemists of high
standing have examined and found
to contain Alum, and some of which
contain both Alum and Ammonia.
Many OF the Alum and Ammonia
powders are labeled and advertised
as absolutely pure" to mislead the
public.
"Calumet, ""Forest City," ,""Grant's
Bon Bon," "Hote]," "Globe." "Puri-
tan,"' ''snow Ball." Government, -
"Palace," Loyal" "Columbia, -
"Home," "Monarch,'' - "Unrivaled,' y
"Chicago Yeast" .''Echo," "Zipp'e
Crystall," "Perfection," "White
Rose," "Hatchet," )" "Crown."
In additional to above list, there
is Il multitude of brands sold with g
prize. 1t is safe to reject all baking
powders sold with a prize as the
tests show they are composed large
lily of Alum and cost but few cents
a pound. Also refuse any baking
powder sold for twenty-five cents {
pound, or less; it is sure to contain
Alum.
Surely nothing but their cheapnes'
could induce the public to expert
ment with these impure powders a
the risk of health. Aside from tn
question of the health, or whole
someness of the condemned powders
and viewed from this standpoint O
economy alone, pure cream of tar
tar baking powder like DR.. Price
from it's greater known strength an
unquestioned purity will prov
more economical to the user in ever,
way. >'s1'@3-.

DISTRICT COURT.
n Large Number of Cases,
among Which is a Breach
of Promise Case.

There are now already fifty-eight
cases on the court calendar and it is
expected that several more will be
added. The civil cases are not spec
tally important nor are there any
criminal cases that will attract wide

The case which will attract most
attention is probably the breach of

and it is expected that it will be tried
at this term of court.
There are also three divorce cases,
though none of the parties are speci-
ally prominent.
Among the criminal cases are the
parties charged with burglarizing
and robbing the Geissel store; the
case of Chas. Rogers, A. D. Robbins
and William Mum, charged with ap-
propriating funds of a school district
while it's officers; the parties charged
with robbery ut, the Little Falls
House last spring. A large part of
the cases are criminal.
1t is expected the term will be a
long one continuing at least two
weeks. Judge Baxter will preside
and William Russell, of st. Cloud,
will be court reporter. The term
will open next Monday at 10 a. m.

COMMITTEE,

Many OF the residents of farming
sections of the county and of the
smaller business communities can
probably by taking a narrow and
personal view of the matter, give
honest arguments against the bond
ing plan, but we believe that any
such arguments can be overcome by
the facts in the case, as long as the
voter is perfectly fair in the matter.
We see no ground for any
opposition to the plan by any
citizen OF this city. The plan will
result in great growth to manu-
featuring Industries here, and an
increase in all lines of trade, Prop
erty will increase in value. Taxes
will be lowered, and the bonded debt
will be decreased. Any man who
will use the argument that the pay
ment of the Water Power bonds can
be avoided is not only displaying his
dishonesty, but is suggesting the
shame of his community. No greater
disgrace can attach to city, town
or county than to repudiate a debt,
and such course is advocated only
by the dishonest. When every
promise has been faithfully kept by
an institution promised public aid,
every honest member of IA facommunity
will unite in fulfilling the pledge. 1t
is a matter of regret that this city
cannot under the law vote the full
5000 that it owes the water com.
pany, as well as it's share of the
bonds of the towns from which II
has taken territory, but such is
impossible. What it can do, it will
do with practical unanimity. The
few citizens of the city who are
earning the contempt of the great
mass Of our voters by attempting tc
injure the interests of the city should
not expect to have their motives
misunderstood. We believe that tht
right kind of public sentiment in thit
city is too substantial to calmly
tolerate any sucl, methods as have
been inaugurated by a couple of ou1
citizens. When the proposition
is before the people for a vote, II
will be duty to acquaint the publ,
with the character of certain loca
opposition.
Those who choose to withhold
approval until the propositions ar,
definitely before the voters, ar,
Exercising prudence, but those wht
cannot even await that time tt
begin their attack on the city,
interests display zeal that is indeed
worthy of a better cause.

a MEETING
Which Should he attended BY
Every Citizen y MINI Histories
Do SO.
The Railroad Propositions to
BE Explained and Die.
cussed Friday Evening.

| A public meeting OF the cilizens O
M orrisOn county has been called fol
Friday evening OF this week at tht
court house, at which time the rail
road propositions will be submitted
to the public for their consideration
and determination. A large repre-
sentation from the different towns
is desired, as it is necessary to learn
the sentiment of the county as to
the railroad proposition. It is con
sidered that it will advance the
interests of the entire county, and
il that is not the general sentiment
it is best to learn the truth now.
The call for the meeting is as follows,
and is being circulated throughout
the county.
Dear Sir: At the earnest request OF
the. citizens of Morrison county the
Mississippi & Leech Lake Railroad
Co. have prepared a proposition
which is, in substance, to connect
this county seat by an independent
railroad with the Great Northern
system for a bonus OF 100000 in
county and municipal bonds, agree
ing to give 100000 in the stock OF
the Railroad company in exchange
for said bonds, and that the 800, 900,
Water Power bonds, heretofore given
to the Water Power Co. shall be re-
turned and cancelled before the rail
road bonds are delivered, they to
complete the road within two years.
1t is believed that competing line
OF railroad to the centre of this
county is necessary to give both
farmers and manufacturers as good
advantages as are enjoyed by the
other prosperous counties of the
state, and for the purpose of having
the matter considered by all parties
interested in the county, a general
meeting is called for Friday evening,
Sept. 221893, at the Court Housein Lit
tie Falls ats o'clock when the propo-
sition will be read by representatives
of the railroad company and manu.
facturers and others will be there to
express their views as to the effect
such road will have in building up
business interests in this county and
making a more profitable market for
it's products. 1t is earnestly request
ed that all who are interested in the
welfare OF the county will attend this
meeting, and express their ideas in
regard to the bonding of the county
for the purpose OF securing another
railroad. 1t is a matter of great i'm
port to all and you are hereby invit-
ed to be present, and we you to urge
your neighbors to attend.
