Keeping constantly at it, in
bringing fresh goods out to
the sunlight is what draws
the crowds of buyers to our
store. We always have
something new and service
able to show them--and they
generally buy.
We have another supply
of the celebrated Premier
egg cup, in which eggs are
cooked and served at table.
The annoyance of scorched
fingers in opening eggs IS
avoided, the annoyance Of
getting aged and decrepit
eggs in your glass is reduced
to nil.
Gentlemen dislike trousers
baggy at the knee as much
as a lady abhors a last years
hat. The way to avoid hav-
ing baggy trousers is to use
a trouSer Stretcher--hang up
the articles in the stretcher
at night and they are perfect
in the morning.
Any old thing will kill
reaches but the best article is
the patent roach trap we sell.
You've been waiting for
them!
Another convenient article
is the combination kitchen
fork, on the end of which is
a hook for removing the pot
lids, twenty cents takes one.
We have cups and SaucerS
at a dollar a dozen--We have
genuine English decorated
Coalport ware, cups and sau-
GERS, for after dinner coffee,
tea or chocolate, from y
cents to $3.50 each. These
are beauties.
The Silver white flame oil
range is a marvel and it sells
for 81. We would like you
to examine this.

NORTON WANTS THE CASH.
FairmOn-LawsOn Race FiascO Car
ried Into the Courts.

The Faifmon-Lawson races, run at
Minnehaha driving park last summer
are the cause of complaint being filed
by Earl A. Norton, manager for the
two races, against the Minneapolis
Driving club for $500.
The complaint recites that a contract
was entered into whereby the plaintiff
was to receive % per cent Of the gate
receipts for himself, In consideration of
his furnishing the two fast riders, for
a series of three races. The receipts
were about $4,000, and so plaintiff
wants his money. The defendant
claims the contract was made with r.
F. Jones, who withheld the money be-
cause the race was not bona fide race
and that an appeal has been taken to
the racing board to settle the matter,
during which time the money will be
held. 1t is also claimed that the rae
ing board has directed Jones to hold
the money.
Plaintiff claims that he has no re-
spect for the authority of any racing
board, and says it has no right, author
ity or power to direct Jones to with
hold the money. The case will be in
teresting, as it was generally conceded
that the last heat of the race was a
fiasco, and it will be interesting to see
how the courts will pass upon the mat

FLANDRAU AND CLAPP.
Democratic and Republican Orators
Talk Sound Money at st. Cloud.

Special to the Globe.
ST. CLOUD, Mimi, Sept. 4.-Under the
auspices Of the sound money club Of st.
Cloud, by far the best meeting of the cam
paign was held tonight. The big tent was
completely filled by an audience of intelligent
voters, and the cause of sound money re-
ceived a great impetus. Both Of the old
parties were represented. The old line DEM
ocracy by Judge Charles Flandrau, and Gen.
Moses Clapp was the Republican orator. The
former was the first speaker and said the
present issues were the first of any great
and momentous Importance for many years.
He had resided in Minnesota for forty three
years and had always voted the Democratic
ticket. The Democracy had gone astray and
allied itself with elements which it had never
before countenanced. 1t had arrayed section
against section and class against class. He
touched on state issues and said the party
had nominated a man for governor who had
never drawn a Democratic breath. He loved
the state and did not want to do anything to
destroy its standing with other states and the
world. He found a reason for the present
condition in the craze for speculation and
boom and not to the crime of '73. Gen. Clapp
money as has not been heard here since the
opening of the campaign. 1t replete with
sound arguments, philosophical reasoning and
brilliant oratory. 1t was fairly non-partisan
and he closed with the statement that the
election of Mckinley was a secondary matter
but the main purpose was to show the world
that the American people are not in favor of
reputation of their just obligations.
