SIXTY CAR LOADS OF FLOUR.
A Big Sale on One Brand.

Since Aug, Z, 1898, we have bought
sixty car loads (7,S00 barrels) of one
brand of -four, "Our Best" and out of
that Z, 500 barrels we do not think we
have bad seven complaints or one bar
rel in 1000, and in no case has anyone
wished us to take barrel back. Now,
when you remember that good deal
of this flour we sell in one-quarter bar
rel sacks, therefore reaching four
families with one barrel, probably not
less than 10 900 packages of this one
brand of -four in about thirteen months.
We consider this a remarkable record
and think we are justified in claiming
for the "Our Best" brand the cham
pionship of the state We do know
that there is no better flour made in
the world, and we also know that So .S5
per barrel in sacks makes it the cheap
est article of food on the list. You will
never have poor baking while you
use Our Best" -four. We notice other
parties are initiating our brand, but
heard Of none just the same so far.

Imports OF Former Wears No Indicatiea
OF Revenues Under the Wilson Bill.
WAsHINGToS, Jan. 1.-- Members of
the majority If the ways and means
committee assert that the importations
of former years, while being the only
basis upon which estimates can be made,
viii mot by any means be fair criterion
for the actua1 revenues under the VIII
son bill. The decrease Of import rev.

estimates show that it will not In reality
be more than 90, ,OO0, 900. The values
Of importations in 1c92 were $81S, 900, 900,
and in 1893 $S44, ,OO0, 900. 1t is believed
that the decrease in 1894 will be very
large, for the reason that until the
new tariff goes into effect every importer
and buyer will try and dispose of pres
ent stock and buy little abroad as posi-
BILE in order to take advantage Of the re-
duced duty. This same reason is given
by the majority members of the com
mittee in the belief that the revenue
under the new bill will be much larger
than the figures show. The revenue
from import duty in 1893 was $i99, ,O0O.-
900, and it is believed that for 1904 the
figures will be far below that, in fact
the present deficit shows large falling
of, due largely, it is claimed, to the de-
sire to take advantage Of the new bill.

The Commission Is Much Pleased With
the Work Already Done.
ST.. PAUL, Jan. The Red river
drainage commission met at the gov
ernor's Office, holding two sessions. Mr..
Valentine, Governor Nelson, Mr.. Miller
and Assistant Secretary of State Stock
enstrom were present. The meeting was
for the purpose of closing up business
for the year.
Mr.. Valentine, president of the COM
mission, spoke for himself and the other
members, saying that they were highly
pleased with the way in which the work
contracted for by Mr.. Rinehart had
been done. He has accomplished al
that he agreed to do and more
since, although the work is not com
pleted in detail, temporary bitches have
been cut, which will relieve the overflow
Of spring waters and give the distric
practically the benefit of the completed
undertaking, although this was mo-
promised until Aug. 1.
Mr.. Rhinehart will receive what il
left of the annual appropriation o
$31 500 for drainage, and will wait unit
next year for the balance due him. TIL,
drainage done this year extends owe
250, 900 acres, and indirectly benefits

ARCHITECTS BEHIND.

More Money Appropriated For Public
Buildings Than Can he Used.
WASHINGTON, Jan. LIT has been
suggested to Chairman Sayres of the
committee on appropriations that it
might help the persons now ont Of work
TO have the appropriations for public
buildings which have been authorized
and for which no appropriations have
been made.
Mr.. Sayres says that there is much
more money appropriated now than is
being used in the construction of build
ings authorized, and that there are only
buildings aggregating about $1,000, 600
for which appropriations have not been
made. Mr.. Sayres thinks that as the
architect Office is now SO far behind ii
would be useless to appropriate more
money which cannot be used.

CONFIDENCE GAME.
Chicago Hebrews Buy What They
Supposed to BE a Box Of
Gold Dust.
1t Cost Them Four Thousand and
They Anticipated a Profit of
Cool Thousand.
Whey They Opened Their Box, How
ever, They Found Only Filings
Of Brass,

CHICAGO, Jan. 1.-One of the clever
est confidence games that has been
worked in Chicago for months was per-
petrated on three Jewish citizens and
jointly they are out $4,000. Their names
are Max Goldstein, Louis Steinberg and
Abraham Andelson.
Goldstein is householder, and occa-
sionally rents rooms. On Dec. % well
dressed man came to his residence and
applied for room. The man produced
letters introducing himself. He said
that he was Russian and later covertly
informed Goldstein that he was a
member Of the Russian nobility, who
through his sympathy with the nihilists,
had been exiled, and that he had escaped
to the United States. To Mr.. Goldstein
he gave the name of r. Joseph. He ad-
mitted that this was not his real name,
or even part of it, This, however,
aroused no suspicion in Goldstein's mind.
He Opened TIE yaiise.
The next day after his arrival the
| stranger called his landlord into his
room, and with great show of secrecy
opened valise and took from it small
box. Carefully opening it he picked out
some shining particles that had the CLINT
and color of pure gold. Goldstein was
electrified. Joseph noticed the impress
sion he had made and declared that he
had q quantity Of the stuff, worth prob
ably SIC, 900 in United States mney. He
would dispose of $4,000 worth. Should
he be able to get the money he would be
willing to give the contents OF
the little box, valued at 5000.
Goldstein thought he saw the opportu.
nifty Of his life. Joseph gratuitously of
fered him few grains of the precious
metal us a sample. Goldstein hastened
at once out to South Chicago to the
store of his friend, Louis Steinberg,
who was a ieweler. Steinberg put the
material under an alcoholic lamp and
applied the blowing pipe. Sure enough
it was gold. It assayed 90 carats. The
results were so surprising that negotia-
tions were brought about ut once to buy
| thetprecious metal
A PaoI Was Formed.
Yesterday Goldstein, Louis Stein
berg and Abraham Andelson met
Joseph in the office of Madison stree,

in which Goldstein paid in 81 900, Stein

created by this fact the matter was re-
ported TO the chief agent, land he decided
that the box should be opened.
The removal of the first board dis
closed the head and body Of woman
with blonde hair, and a complete exam
ination revealed the body Of man. The
badies were nude and doubled and were
bound with wire. On making this dis
covery the express company sent the
grewsome freight to the coroner and no.
titled the police. Further than this no
facts can be obtained. The express
company's employees found no marks Of
violence on the bodies. When the con-
tents of the box was removed it was
filed with rubbish and forwarded to
