Mr. John B,lres and Miss Mary
Fleckenstein, both OF Rich Prairie,
created quite a sensation in that
community by u somewhat roman
tic elopement. It appears that the
parents Of the young lady objected
to the young man as q suitOr and
would not consent other marriage.
Each was OF the opinion that life
without the other was out Of the
question, and decided to accomplish
their desire by strategy. Accord
ingly the young man came to Little
Falls, 2rocared the necessary license,
and after getting his sweetheart,
drove in haste To Royalton. Justice
Ford, OF that place, pronounced the
ceremony that placed them beyond
the wrath of her parents and relieved
their fears OF the results Of a pursuit
The happy couple took the first traiI
for Wisconsin. where they will pro
badly reside until the hearts nf th,
young lady's parents have sufteDct

The Home Talent Concert Satss
urday Evening was q Great
Musical Treat and n -
H.. Financial Success. ,h..

The charity concert given by
local talent at the court house
Saturday evening was a grand
success. IN every particular. The
large hall was nearly filled by the
music-loving population of this city.
A fine program from the most cele-
brated authors was prepared and
the generous rounds of applause and
vigorous encOres each number elected
showed due appreciation of the excel
lent performance given. The enter:
tainment began with song by Il
quartette of male voices, and hearty
encore was responded to. The vio-
lin solos of Miss Landahl were excep-
tionally fine, and several recalls were
generously answered before the au-
dience was satisfied. The pieces selec-
ted by Miss Landau were of the
highest order, and the ease with
which she executed the most diff
cult movements showed her a thor
ough master of her instrument.
Mrs. 1. Z. Staples humorous recita-'
ton, THE New Lochinvar," created
constant ripple oflaughter through
out, and was heartily applauded, as
was also the pathetic recitation of
Mrs. c. H. Brown, (Which Shall 1t
Be- The plantation melodies OF
Laird and Meyers were amusing and
highly entertaining, and the piano
solos of Miss Ready and Miss La
douceur were received with hearty
approval; in fact every number on
the program, both vocal and instru-
mental, was well presented and the
appreciation of the audience attested
in generous applause. 1t is to be
regretted that illness prevented Mrs.
Flynn from taking her part in the
program. She has often appeared in
musical entertainments in this city
and her voice was greatly missed
last evening. Much credit is
due to Geo. La Fond, for. the
part he took in promoting and
managing the affair, and for his fine
performance on the mandolin, A
considerable sum was realized which
will be donated to the poor of the
city in the purchase OF turkeys and
other edibles for Thanksgiving.

Brainerdz Journal: A letter ap-
peared in the Little Falls Daily Tran
script last. Saturday from the pen of
Geo. LaFond, one OF the most prom
inent citizens of Little Falls and one
of the chief workers in the recent rail
road bond contest In Morrison
county, on the subject Of fire insur-
ance. The letter contains consider
able information on that subject.
Among other things he shows that
the insurance companies have paid
more money for fire losses in Little
Falls and Morrison county during
the past four years than they have
received in premiums from that city
and county during that time. He
points out the folly of expecting
lower rates OF insurance while this
state OF affairs exists, and he urges
as 8 remedy greater care to prevent
fires from starting. In the majority
OF instances fires originate through
the carelessness Of property owners,
and a reasonable degree of care
would result in lower rates being
established. He says that insurance
has become unprofitablesto the insur-
ance companies on account Of the
steadily increasing number OF fires
Throughout the country. and that
twenty Of the strong companies are
preparing to go out of business the
lst of next January. s..

Running a Daily Newspaper.

Running a Daily wapaper.
From the Brainerd Journal
Some people inquire why we can't
have a daily newspaper published in
Braineul. The journal will not un-
dertake to answer the question, but
will tell how it is done in Little Falls.
The business men OF Little Falls
want good daily newspaper pub
lished in that place, and in the early
part Of 1892 d deal was made with
Editor Fuller, ofa,the Transcript, by
which he was to publish a daily
edition, take out 4 good salary for
himself, and draw on those who
were in the deal for all expenses that
could not he met by the receipts
the paper: 1t was known at the
outset that the cost of publishing a
daily would considerably exceed the
earnings of the paper, and the deficit
was cheelfully made up as often as
requireds Recently there was an ac-
counting. and it was shown that the
business Of the paper had grown un-
til the deficit had been reduced to
only $2l3.6O per month. The busi-
ness men who were In the deal i'm
mediately agreed that If that was all
that had to be made up to keep
the paper OIL it's feet, they would put
in some more and enlarge the paper,
and they directed that the paper be
enlarged to seven columns per page.
The Daily Transcript has saccordingly
been enlarged to sthatsiz and comes
out bearing evidence of the abundant
enterprise and spirit that makes It
what it is. 1t is no wonder that Lit
tie Falls has more than doubled it's
population during the past two years.

Millionaires of curse have the right
to spend their morley as they please and
build a $1,500,0O pleasure yacht that
they use possibly three weeks out of the
year. It is merely a matter Of taste.
But if some people had million dollars
to spend this is what they would do with
it. They would use it to improve the
highways of America and force the
tramps that disgrace this country to do
the work. Legislatures would be CON-
PLEASANT and back the man with mil
lion dollars to tire extent of law that
would give him necessary authority to
make the tramps work.
These idle scamps are q menace to the
country. That they exist at all in Amer.

done. shows wicked neglect on the part

them increases annually. They swarm
