OUT OF HIS MIND.

John DOhm, an old resident of the
city, was suddenly taken with a fit of
insanity while in the American House
Wednesday and threw the chairs
around in way that drove the by
ISLANDERS out in a hurry. He seemed
to be attempting to strike someone,
and 1T was necessary to call in police
man, who took him to the court house
where he was examined as to his san
ity before Judge Torrey, by Drs. Davis
and Webster. 1t developed that he
is 81 years of age, has two children
and Is painter and grainer 10y trade.
He was born Gin Germany, and
his trouble was brought on by
business adyersities and family
trouble. The disease has been grow
ing upon him for some months past.
and showed itself by spells of despon-
dency and sudden paroxisyms, like the
one today. He was found to be in
sane and will be taken to the ST..
Peter asylum tomorrow morning, in

Welded AN ACTOR.

Louis f. W. Wiethoff is one of the
members of the Wade-LeRoyle COM
pany, which filled a three nights en-
gagement at the opera house last
week. Saturday afternoon a bright
eyed, ruddy complectioned young
damsel arrived over the Northwest
ern road and joined him at The Saul
paugh. At the conclusion of the
evening entertainment the couple got
into hack and were driven to Clerk
Of Court Thorne's residence and pro-
Cured license to wed. The young
man gave his home as being at Sey-
mour, Ind, and the youny lady, whose
name was Mabel E. Whiting. said
that her home was in Hurley, Wis. 1t
was upon this statement that the
license was granted. The parties
were then driven to Rev. f. NJ. Rules
residence, and as it was after eleven
o'clock that gentleman was wrapped
in slumber. He has warm place in
his heart for young lovers, however,
and readily admitted them and quiet
ly made them one. The couple spent
yesterday at The Saulpaugh, and last
evening the bride took the train for
the west on the Northwestern road
while the groom left with the COM
pany this noon for Madelia, where a
date is to be filled tonight.
The story is in circulation that the
young lady is a teacher in the schools
of Tracy, and that she returned in
order to resume her duties. 1t is also
said that she did not wish the fact Of
her marriage to be made public at
this time, owing, probably, to her
position. 1t is stated that the couple
became acquainted while the Wade
LeRoyle company was playing at that
town last fall, aud that,a pond
ence ensued, with the outcome Satur-
day. as stated Mr.. Wiethoff is a
widower, and not as young as he once
was. The marriage was a surprise to
the other members Of the company, as
well at the manager. -.

HE "KNOCKED DOWN. y
Gus Fenske Confesses to EmbeZZIin2
$500 From r. ID. Hubbard.

Charges Of most serious nature are
preferred against Gus Fenske, for the
past six or seven years the trusted
delivery man employed by r. ID. Hub
bard IN his retail trade. He always
bore the appearance Of being honest
and reliable, and the firm placed the
most implicit confidence in him.
Whenever Fenske filled an order he
secured a check in the Office, which he
turned in TO the man who attended
to the retail business in the mill. 1t
seems that this man also placed too
much confidence in Fenske, for he be-
came careless and often allowed him
to iii his own orders. This gave
Fenske an opportunity to take more
goods than the check called for, and
there was no door open for discovery
The goods taken in this manner con-
sisted of flour and feed, and the
amount taken above the amount
called for in the check would be sold
to those who gave verbal orders to the
delivery man, who pocketed the money.
Fenske also supplied his own house
in this manner.
About ten days ago the miller began
TO suspect what Fenske was up ITO
and informed MesSrS. Hubbard and
Palmer, and watch was set upon
him. The suspicious were proved to
be true beyond any doubt and yester-
day morning Fenske was accused of
the systematic thieving. He denied
the charge at first, but when the evil
dence was shown him he weakened
and admitted that he had been
doing it for year and half past He
stated that so far as he was able to
remember he had taken about $500
worth of goods unlawfully and kept
the money. Mr.. Hubbard has no
means of knowing whether the pecu-
latiOn amounts to more than this.
Fenske was discharged, but owing
to the fact that he has an excellent
family consisting Of wife and three
children Mr.. Hubbard is hesitating to
prosecute him. He has made reStitu-
tiOn to Mr.. Hubbard to the extent Of
$500. Fenske had money in the bank
when he commenced to work for Mr.
Hubbard, and has steadily increased
his account. He received Sl.4O per
day, and did not take the money on
account of any want. He admitted
that it was moral weakness that
caused him to err. He had the oppor-
tunity and he was unable to withstand
the temptation. His fault was due to
his weakness, and he sincerely regrets
his course. If he goes UNPUBLISHED by
the law he can thank the leniency of
his employers. In any case the dis
grace will be no slight punishment.

LOCATING AN OPERA HOUSE.

\ gentleman from another city was
on ourstreets Monday looking over the
city with the view of locating an
opera house here. He represents a
company which has built opera houses
in several cities Of the Northwest, and
having heard of the wants of Manka-
10 came to see for himself. If an
opera house is built, it will cost about
$4,000, and will be a good one The
gentleman referred to looked at sew
eral sites in different localities, on
Front and Second streets, and was
pleased with two or three Of them.

Two Men And a Girl.

e This is certainly an odd title for a
book and the story itself must be an
odd one, for the title of a novel u.s.
ually lends a key to it's character.
What the adventures Of "Two men
and a girl" may have been we are not
prepared to say, not having read the
volume, but if they did one thing
they were sensible and enjoyed them
selves. That is to say, if they took
ride over the people's'popular route,
the St. Paul & Duluth Railroad, they
did right and had a pleasant time
journeying over the route. This
railway, which for years has carried
the title of 'sThe Duluth Short Line, F."
is the short line between the inland
twins, ST. Paul and Minneapolis, and
the lake twins, Duluth and West
Superior. Besides, it runs to Still
water, Taylors Falls and other points,
making close connections at main
terminals with trains going in all
directions. II uses the finest equip
ment; its roadbed is conceded to be
perfect; it's trains are fast; hours are
convenient to the busy business man;
it makes a speciality of providing
every comfort, and its patrons never
fail to advertise in it the most COM
plimentry terms. 1t is deserving of
all the good that may be said of it, for
it stands as model route, up to the
times and anxious to please. Always
take the Duluth Short Line when
travelling north and south, Informa-
tion cheerfully furnished by ticket

PREPARING FOR BUSINESS

Cleveland's Intentions Concerning the
Parasites of the N1oribnnd Pintocracy.
President Cleveland has determined
upon policy that will reduce the NUM-
Der of appointive positions within the
gift of the administration, and will also
reduce the burden of taxation visited
upon the people of the country. In
every department there is a surplus OF
clerks and other employees. In some
instances they are SO numerous as to
positively impede the transaction OF
public business and detract from the
efficiency of department work. This
evil has grown up in the federal sys-
tenn from the same causes that have
operated in this and other great munic-
ipaiities of the country. It is the re-
suit of pernicious political system
which develops and thrives until it be-
comes unbearable to those who must
meet the bills, or is terminated by the
intervention of strong hand like that

been called to the presidency Of the
United States

fuous employees and run the Offices OF

DEMOCRATIC PLEDGES.

Some of the Aims of the Cleveland Ad-
mtnistration.
The new administration by the pledges
of President Cleveland's inaugural adj
dress is committed:
l. To sound and stable currency.
2. To refuse bounties and subsidies.
8. To check wild and reckless PEN
sion expenditure.
4. To limit public expenditures to
public necessities.
5. To make efficiency rather than
partisan service the basis of appoint
meuts to office.
6. To use the powers of the federal
government to restrain trusts and COM
bines.
Z. To secure to all citizens equality
before the law.
s. To accomplish tariff reform and
make the necessity for government
revenue the limit Of the exercise of the
taxing power.
1t is a democratic programme, pro-
gramme which the people wish to see
carried out. It will be opposedstu
bornly at every point by interests
which thrive on the evils democratic
endeavor seeks to correct, but Presi-
dent Cleveland in carrying it out will
have the disinterested patriotism of
the country supporting him as it has
seldom, if ever before, united to sus-
tain president IN his policy.-Albany
Argus
