The Feeling Uncertain.

Bridgeport, Sept. 7.-The republi- cans held primaries in all the wards in the city this evening. It was the first time that they have been held under the new republican rules, and the bal lot boxes were open from o'clock until g. A large vote was boiled, and one of the surprising features of the primaries was the strength shown to- night by the American Protective asso- citation. In one of the wards the A. P. A. captured four of the delegates, while in other wards there were shown an A. P. A. movement that has never been seen before There were from two to four tickets in each of the wards. The feeling is uncertain as Marigold' s strength cannot be estimated through the primaries. The city and town con- vention will be held on September 12.

AGAIN THE MARKETS.
The st. Peter Herald SAYS:

NJ. Gilbride, who lives Just beyond
Madison Lake, brought load of hogs
to st. Peter one day last week. He
was paid for his hogs $4.55 per humid
red and he said that on the day pre-
vlOus he had sold load at Mankato
for S4.25 which was the highest
price paid. On this day neighbor
sold load at St. Peter for S4.55, the
fact which induced him to come to St.
Peter. He says that not only himself
but many of the farmers near Madison
Lake will transfer their business from
Mankato to ST. Peter.
We learn from the Cassidy Packing
Company that the lowest price paid
by them last week was $40. From
that figure the price has ranged to
S4.55. 1t often happens that when
one farmer takes load of hogs or pro-
duce to a more distant market and
finds that he has been gulled, that he
will not admit it, but with false
pride gives it out that he was paid for
his trouble. This is human nature.
and is the same with every class of
people. We doubt whether any con-
siderable number of people from the
vicinity of Madison Lake intend to
market their produce at st. Peter, but
even if they do, they will not be going
any further. ST. Peter is no further
from the north side of the lake than
Mankato is, and it would be nothing
strange if some of them went to St.
Peter occasionally. But as a rule they
are wise enough to know that they
can do better in Mankato, and that
when it comes to buying goods at
bargain they cannot do as well any
where as at MankatO.

The only other creditors in MankatO
are several individuals from whom
small amounts were borrowed by Mr..
Jones, footing up 500.
The assets include the stock in the
three stores and book accounts, and
in ordinary times would foot up to the
amount Of the liabilities, but under
the circumstances they will undoubt-
edly be sold at sacrifice, so that the
creditors will receive less than the
face Of their claims.
Mr. Jones made proposition
about month or SO ago to settle with
his creditors for sixty cents on the
dollar. All but three of the creditors
agreed to this, but the refusal of the
latter caused the assignment. Geo.
II. Fletcher, of Minneapolis, represent
ing some of the creditors, recently
visited the city and after looking into
matters advised his clients to offer to
take 65 cents on the dollar. Rather
than have any preferred claimants,
Mr.. Jones very hOnOrably chose to as
sign for the benefit of all his creditors
Twenty days ago, Tootle, Wheeler
& Co., of st. Joseph, commenced suit
against Mr. Jones for about $21O,
which precipitated the assignment.
Mr.. Jones states that he had good
business until eighteen months ago,
but since then collections have been
hard and trade has fallen off, owing
to the hard times. He has conducted
the branch store at Elysian for two
years, and the one at GAINESVILLE for
two months.
Mr.. Jones has been a resident of
Mankato for the past fourteen years,
having moved here from Sparta, Wis.
He has been in business for eight
years. He has been careful and car
ried on business prudently and eco
nomically. He stands high in the
community, and his misfortune is a
source of regret to ALL In his troubles
he has acted honorably, and no one
can find fault with what he has done.
We are glad to be able to announce
that he will remain in the city, and
hope that he may soon be upon his
feet again. w. r. Geddes is his at
tOrney.

FRIEND CLARENCE
1 note n a receEtaGTticle in the New
ork Clipper your council propose rails
ing the circus license, which is now
more than it should be. Why is this?
DO they wish to prohibit the first class
companies, such as our own and
Barnum y Bailey'S, from visiting YOUR
town: To raise the license would
certainly do this unless one could Sc
cure suitable grounds on the opposite
SIDE or the river, which, if | remember
right, is IN another county, and yet
would be much nearer to the business
portion of the city, than where we
have been compelled to show.
Let me quote you the license in
some OF the cities of the first class and
compare them with the license we
even now have to pay in Mankato.
Philadelphia, S25 per year: New York
CITY, 500 per year; Boston 500 per
year; Cleveland, Ohio, $40: Syracuse.

Detroit, $50; Pittsburgh, 500: Hart
ford, $3.50; Omaha, $50: Milwaukee.
500; colchester, n. Y, $50: Louisville.
ny, 500 per day. At st. Paul and
Minneapolis we pay an unjust
tax. High license as a prohibitive
measure having been passed. but
which has always been imperative. as
the very class of shows who obtain
money under false pretense and by
questionable methods, which high
license was supposed to keep out,
advertise everything on earth and in
yariably get off with a nominal
theatrical license. The larger shows.
if they play the Northwest territiroy.
are compelled to stop at those cities,
going or returning.
IF you will kindly keep me advised
what is done in the matter, you will
obllge. Yours Very Truly,
j. Il. MCCADDON."
There is very little in the talk about
circuses exhibiting across the Mime
sofa river bridge. The bridge would
hardly stand the strain Of the heavy
wagons and animals crossing it, and
on the score Of safety the police could
forbid the use of the bridge to the
circus management. But outside of
this, leaving aA threats out of con-
sideration, it is question whether it
would be wise to raise the licenses for
circuses, shows and lectures. There
is no public demand for it, while there
is sentiment against it. Ifcircuses
should visit ST. Peter instead of Man
katO, hundreds of dollars would 90
out OF this city to ST. Peter. For
every dollar that circus takes out of
a city several are left in the city by
visitors. Even if the most of this
goes to the saloons, it will soon reach
the other business men in the natural
course of business. The council should
consider the matter well before amend
ing the present ordinance, which has
given very good satisfaction.
