Promises Well.

Tho rri.City Demonstration at Davcr port
Promises Well.
The tri-city Labor day demoustra-
ton is to be held at Davenport this
year. The preparations promise a
grand turnout in that city next
Monday. One of the officers Of the
association tells the Leader that
there will be NO less than 500 floats
in the parade alone and that there
will be but few of the business houses
ia Davenport but that will be repre-
sented. In addition to this there
will be no less than 5000 men in
line. Nearly all of the civic organi-
zations in the three cities have signi-
fed their intention Of joining it and
some of them will have no less than
four or five hundred men in line.
An example Of this is the Woodmen
of the World.
There is no question but that the
Labor day celebration will be a grand
success and that the turnout will be
one of the most attractive ever pre-
sented in this part of the country.

Used n Postal Card.

W. S. Evans, cashier OF the Sher-
burne county bank at Big Lake,
Mimi, was yesterday given chance
of placing 5000 worth OF good secur-
tiles in the hands OF the United
States marshal as guarantee for his
presence in the federal courts when
needed. The dOleiul tale told by the
complaining witness showed that
Mr.. Evans IN his capacity as cashier
had taken the liberty Of dunning
DAWSON on u postal card, al action
which the gentleman naturally re
sented. Fortunately for him, but
unfortunately for Evans, the laws Of
the United States are very strict on
this point, and United States Com
missioner Bowen found nothing
ridiculous in the complaint lodged
by Dawson. Mr.. Evans was held
over to the grand jury, which meets
in September neXt-AlinneapOlis

Platte will Hang Up.

Several of the river men who have
been at work on Muncy's Platte
river dive came down to this city
Friday. They state that it Is now Il
forgone conclusion that the drive
cannot be got out this year, and 1t
will hang UP in IL few days. 1t took
three days to get a sufficient head Of
water at one Of the dams to sluice,
and then it only lasted a few hours.
The rear is now at Stony brook, Il
few miles above "Thirty-thrce' dam.
There is but a small crew there now.
and it is expected that they will
wait for another sluicing and then
come down river. It was thought
to be certain that the large
amount Of logs ON Platte, some
of which were banked two
years ago, would be got out this
year, for there was good stage OF
water until " few weeks ago. Head
winds, which bothered them in
getting out OF the lakes, and poor
management is said to be the cu,ls.'
of the failure TO make Il successful
drive this season, when other con
ditiOns seemed most favorable.

For Comfy Advertising.

A representative OF one of the ST.
Paul &. A. r. committees was in the
city Saturday consulting with differ
ent citizens about inducing Morrison
county to make All exhibit at the
State fair and in st. Paul during
fair week and the national q. A. r.
encampment. A humber of prOmi.
nent citizens were interviewed. and
the general impression seemed that
Morrison county should make q
creditable showing at the state fair
this year. 1t will require q con.
siderable amount of moEey to &C.
complish any good. Last year the
county would pay part of the
expense, but the city would pay
nothing.
Morrison county has lots of room
for new settlers. and could make an
attractive exhibit at the fair. There
is yet plenty OF time to make all
arrangements, and some of our
public spirited citizens should take
the lead in the matter.

ment of free silver tiOnal,

become a daily as the campaign
progresses. Mr.. Brann is well in
formed on the financial question, and
is an able and clear writer, aud as
there is n strong and increasing sill
YER sentiment in Superior, the

In the case of Gustave Brietkreutz.
charged with assault, a change OF
venue from Justice Gaudet to Justice
Shaw's court was taken. The case
was heard Saturday and the defend
ant was discharged. The evidence
showed that Mr.. Breitkreutz could
not do much less than he did. He
claims that while at work in his
garden he heard some noise and
when he went to the house he found
Krouse the complainant with a
dra wn revolver and using abusive
and insulting language to Mrs.
Breitkreutz. Mr.. 3. ordered KrOuse
off the premises and the latter re-
fusing to comply with the order and
also threa teLing to shoot him, Mr..
B. picked up brick and threw it at
him. The first brick missed and he
picked up another and threw it with
q better aim, just as Krouse was
turning to run. He was struck in
the side but not seriously hurt. Mr..
BIS story was corroborated by good
witnesses and Justice Shaw thought
that il either should have been ar
rested it was the complainant and
not the defendant, and SO discharged
the latter.

Morris Tribune: The condition CT
crops in Stevens county is not ut all
discouraging, but quite the contrary.
1t has been claimed that consider
able amount OF rust is prevalent
among the wheat and oats, but an
examination of several fields last
week north OF this city, was made,
and not a particle Of rust could be
found or any trace of rust. All
grains are looking well, and es-
pecially flax. Wheat and oats are
heading in fine shape, with long and
healthy heads. Although the yield
will not probably be as large one
as last year, it will he as good as
could be expected, considering the
wet weather. The straw is abund
ant, and with good weather for
another month and no hail, the
farmers of this county Twill harvest
good crops. Haying is we'll under
way, and is quite heavy.

What to Do With Tramps.

Austin Democrat. What is to be
done to rid the land Of the tramp. IS
now the important problem of the
day. AS the Hutchinson Indcpcnd-
ent says, it ia n disgrace to any town
to have prisoners in a Jail taken out
a midnight and tarred and fea thercd,
but it seems as though some ex IRENE
measures were necessary to :intimi-
date and keep away the small but
rapidly increasing army of tramps
which are infesting this part Of the
state this season. A mans life is not
always safe. as has been sufficiently
proved in our county recently, and
women and children are at their
mercy, especially upon farms, where
the women are apt to be at home
alone most Of the time.

There seems to he quite Il differ
ence of opinion among river drivers
and Others in regard to the Platte
river drive being got out this year.
A few days ago II numbe" OF drivers
came down and said it would be i'm
possible to get out and that the
drive would hang up in Il day or two.
Several men who have been at work
on the drive came down Sunday and
they claim that there Is still Il good
chance to get the logs out. They
claim that one more sluicing will take
all the logs through "33" dam and
carry the rear OF the tlOwage Of
Gravelville dam. For this sluicing
there will he Il sufficient head OF
water by tomorrow morning and
they expect to have all the logs in
the tlowage Ot the Gravelville dam
not later than Wednesday night.
There is still over two feet Of water
at the lakes which can be used, in
addition to the head OF wal ter on Mig
ger hill dam, and this is said tn be
sufficient water to take them to Rice
lake. The lake, it is claimed, is the
only place where there will be any
difficulty, and that will he on &C
count of the rice beds and high
grass. A crew of men are now at
work and illkeep the grass moved
down, and in this way the drive
may get through the lake all right.
CEaS. Hoyt, who has been on the
drive all the spring and quit yester-
day to do his .haying, says that the
and should be in the Mississippi in
less than twenty-five days.

Wheat Cargo Record Broken /.

DULUTH, Mimi, July 1O.-The new
steel steamer, Queen City, owned in
this city, has smashed the wheat
cargo record by $500 bushels. She
arrived ON her maiden trip to Duluth
and loaded Isl 900 bushels OF wheel,
or 1, 756 tons, on about fourteen feet
four inches draft. The next largest
wheat cargo was taken by the
Zenith City of the same fleet last
September, when she carried out OF
Duluth 142,500 bushels. The per-
Torrance of the Queen City is one Of
the most striking reminders Of the
Development of the lake freighter.
Eight years ago one-tbird her cargo
would have been a big cargo. The
Queen City is splendid specimen OF
the modern lake vessel. She is APO
feet long, 4S feet beam, and g feet
moulded depth. She cnn carry 1000
tons on 20 feet OF water.
