CHICAGO, July l3.-Mr. Debe was to-

The excitement and turbulence inevi-

conflict now waging. The cool-headed

ANOTHER BICYCLE STOLEN.

The stealing of bicycles seems to
have become business in this city,
as elsewhere. The latest case oc-
Cured last night, when a Crescent
wheel No. 1 style, numbered 74,766,
was stolen from Fred Fuller's wood
shed. 1t was the property of his son.
No trace of it has yet been secured.
Chief Yates states that twelve
wheels were stolen in Winona last
week.
A dispatch from Chicago states that
on average, ten bicycles week,
valued at 800 each, are stolen there,
and this has grown to such proper
tions that two policemen have been
detailed to do nothing but trace up
the gang that is doing the work. The
authorities at ST. Paul, Minneapolis,
Milwaukee, ST. Louis, Cleveland and
other cities have been communicated
with in the hope of taking united
action, as it is now certain that
combination of thieves exists to steal
bicycles and ship them to others of
the gang to be disposed of in another
city. Unless there is private mark,
the only way that wheel may be
identified is by the number which it
bears, stamped into the steel on
several places. These are often filed
off, in order to prevent MITIGATION.
1t would be well for the owners of
bicycles to put on them private
marks by which they can be identifi-
ed, and also to keep them securely
locked up at night and when left on
the sidewalk.

FOUND.
The Steam Boat Which Sank in the
minnesota River Years
Ago is Located.

The early settlers well recollect the
sinking of a large steam boat near this
city along toward the end of the
time when the traffic between this
city and ST. Paul was carried on by
water. The boat and it's history have
long since been forgotten, and the To-
cation OF the boat bid fair to be one
of the mysteries forever hidden in the
bosom of Mother Earth. Search has
been made for it in years gone by, but
without success.
The sunken boat has at last been
located, thanks to the low water and
the drifting away of the sand. The
remains of this river steamer are
in a sand bar half a mile below the
lowest brick yard down the river. The
rim of it's sides now project a foot
above the sand, and show the boat to
have been about 125 feet long by about
so feet wide. A large crowd Of curious
gazers has visited the spot today, and
O1lC VI UllClu SCOUICu q lul CUSNl
wheel and carried it to Widell's
quarry. No effort has yet been made
to uncover the boat, and it yet lies
filled with sand. Whether any cargo
went down with it is merely SUPPOSE
ton, and it is highly probable that
nothing was lost beyond the boat and
it's machinery. There was rumor
that thirty barrels of whiskey went
down with the boat, but if SO, there
were undoubtedly enterprising or
thirsty divers enough at that time to
have secured it. If not, then this
fact may account for the high value
our st. Peter friends place upon river
water.
The boat ought to be unearthed and
brought to the city for exhibition. 1t
would be real curiosity, considering
the present stage of the water.

in now actively in the field. He is an
old resident of the county, although
young in years. He was born in Wi
mona county, in this state, in 1858, and
came to the township of Lyra, in
1864, and has grown up there and
made that his home ever since. For
the past two years he has
been engaged in the hardware bust
ness, and he holds the Office of treas
urer of the school district. Raised on
farm, he is thoroughly self made
man, and is one of the kind whom
their fellow citizens delight to honor.
He has never asked for an office be-
fore, and now comes before the Re-
publicans as one who could easily be
elected if nominated. He is in every
way competent to fill the office of
sheriff in a satisfactory manner and
and that he would do so none who
know him doubt. Undoubtedly a
strong delegation will back his claims
in the convention.

THE MYSTERY CLEARED UP.

From Fridays Daily.
Coroner Shoemaker returned from
Madison Lake last evening, where he
was called to look into the death of
an unknown man. He decided to
hold an inquest and went out to the
village again this morning, on the
train for that purpose.
1t has not been ascertained yet who
the man is, but it is hoped to clear up
the mystery today. 1t is thought
that he may be the father of a man
who resides at Alma City, and this
man was summoned to appear before
the inquest today for the purpose of
identifying the remains, if possible
A lady living not far from where the
body was found stated that last Fri
day night an old man stayed at her
house. He was sick and she doctored
him up, and insisted on his staying
the next day to fully recover, but he
would remain no longer, and started
out on foot. No one remembered see
ing him afterwards, and it is thought
that this may be the same man. There
were no signs of violence or accident,
and it is thought that he suffered an
attack of sunstroke, as the day was
hot. The remains are those of man
between IS and 80 years of age, and
have the appearance of having lain
where found for nearly week. AS
the weather has been very hot, de-
composition was well advanced. No
one in the village had ever seen the
man. The remains were found very
close to where the body of suicide
was found some two years ago.
LATER.
Coroner Shoemaker returned late
this afternoon, having held the in
quest today, with the following jury:
J. K. Knapp, John Neary, B. Bradbin,
Julius Reinsburg, Leslie Circuit and
Chas. Fischer.
The witnesses examined were B.
Barber, Mrs. Mile Barber, James
Hammond and Albert Morton.
The jury brought in this verdict:
'From the body now before us and the
testimony of the witnesses we do rem
der the following verdict, That VIM.
Hammond came to his death by a fall
down the embankment from some I'M
known cause to this jury"
Mr.. Shoemaker turned the body
over to a son of the deceased, James
Hammond, who resides at Alma City.
It was ascertained that the name of
the deceased was VIM. Hammond, that
he was 80 years of age, that he has
made his home with his son at Alma
City, and that he has been in the
habit of visiting friends at Smiths
mills, Greenland and Madison Lake
Last Friday night he spent at Mr..
BARRIERS house at Madison Lake, and
seemed to be sick at the stomach. He
started Saturday morning for Green
land, to visit daughter, going after
the trains had left, SO that he could
not have been struck by a train. He
was generally healthy, and probably
was overcome by the heat.

WE HOPE 1T WILL Go UP.

There is a project on foot which, if
it is carried though, will result in one
of the most valuable additions to
Front street that has occurred since
the erection of the Model block.
Mr.. Patterson, after the destruction
by fire of his building on the corner of
Front and Cherry streets, thought
somewhat of putting up one-story
brick, but he very wisely abandoned
the idea and concluded to bide his
time and await developments. Mrs.
G. A. Payne, formerly of this city,now
resident of California, owns the
building next adjoining Mr.. Patter-
sons property, and which is occupied
by Mr. Andrews gun store, is on a
visit here, and she has practically con-
cluded to join Mr.. Patterson in the
erection of fine building to be either
two or three stories high and of mod
ern architecture. Mr.. Patterson has
the matter under advisement, and
will form his decision within a week
or ten days. If certain affairs now
under negotiation can be brought
about, and the prospects are bright
for their satisfactory adjustment, the
building will go up.
The location for such structure
cannot be eXcelled in this city, and
the improvement would be one that
would stand as a proud monu-
ment to the enterprise of
the builders. The frontage on
Front street is &C feet, and it
would occupy most slightly business
location and be an addition to our
business blocks that would call forth
the admiration of every citizen.
Everyone hopes it may go up, and
this announcement of such a proba-
bility will be pleasing news to all our
citizens. If it is decided to go on
with the work, the building will be
put up the present season.

THE CROPS.
st. Paul, MINI

Hon. John f. Meagher and J. G.
Mobiles returned last night from a
trip through Martin, Cottonwood.
Redwood and Brown counties, where
they have been inspecting the crops
for two or three days. The former
states that the wheat crop is turning
out splendidly, and that in these four
counties an average yield of twenty
bushels to the acre will be moderate
estimate. All of this will 60 No. 1.
NO damage was done by chinch bugs
in the section visited.
In Martin county the corn is look
ing better than it does in the wooded
district of this county. The corn
generally is very fair, and the farmers
have not much doubt that the crop
will be a good one. Wherever there
is clay sub-soil to retain the moist
ure'from the spring rains the corn is
looking well, but where there is a
gravel sub-soil it is in poor condition.
In the four counties visited, there
has been more rain than here, and
the pasturage is better appearing than
in this county. Potatoes are also
fairly good, and though the bulbs are
small, the vines are still fresh and
green.
Early fax that was sown on Old
ground is doing WELL In Redwood and
Cottonwood counties there was much
breaking done last spring, and this
was put into flax, but the farmers will
not get the seed back. There was not
enough moisture to sprout the seed in
the spring, and it is now just coming
up four to seven inches high, and the
fields are green and velvety. This
will be great loss to the farmers.
Many thirty and forty acre fields are
in this condition, sometimes with the
green fax interspersed with that
which is nearly ripe.
Mr.. Meagher states that he never
saw the farmers feeling better. and
there is very little complaint. While
the people in the city may talk hard
times, this is not the case in the
country. The harvest is completed,
and stacking and threshing is being
done. The weather has been SO dry
that some threShing was being done
even before the bundles were shocked.

THRESHlNG RETURNS.

The following crop reports, received
from the threshers, show what kind
of a wheat crop was raised in this
vicinity this year.
HI. Samuelson, of Kasota township,
secured % bushels an acre from a
twenty acre field.
A. Chappell, of Kasota township,
secured "a bushels to the acre from a
65 acre field.
John Miles, of Kasota township re-
ceived % bushels to the acre from a
q acre field.
Adolph Shipton, of Kasota town
ship, secured 153 bushels from Al
acres, and 26 bushels on an acre from
another field of twenty acres.
Wilton Pulven, of Kasota township,
secured 25 bushels to the acre from
% acres.
Schumacher Bros. did the threshing
in these cases, and in some of the
fields report some damage by chinch
bugs. The wheat all goes No. l and
averages 60 pounds in weight, some
fields even going 81 pounds. Gener-
ally the average weight is So to SO
pounds.
Magin Bros, of Lime township,
have threshed their own field and
from 24 acres of wheat the phenom-
inal yield was secured. The land and
wheat were both carefully measured.
This makes a yield of Al SO bushels
per acre. Who can beat this?

over "a bushels to the acre.
Jacob Bachtle, of Lura township,

At S. w. Cornell's the chinch bugs
were reported quite bad, but the yield
of wheat was over II bushels to the
acre.
Mic Juliar, of Decoria, threshed on
Tuesday and reports wheat yield OF
20 to 80 bushels to the acre, the aver
age being about 25.
Jud Cornell threshed on Wednesday
and secured % bushels to the acre
with the exception of piece where
the chinch bugs had been at work
which turned out something like II.
