Smooth Old Bows.

The Brainerd Journal reviews the
very exciting incidents in the local
game of "Boisioli, Boisjoli, who has
got the Boisjoli?" and says:
Gin this emergency an old settler
came to the rescue. In fact it has
come to be an admitted truth in
Morrison county that an emergency
must be one of more than ordinarily
desperate character when the old
settlers cannot find a smooth road
ont of it. 1t held good in this par
ticular case, and one of the old boys
came to the front with the declara-
ton that the woman was Il resident
of Brainerd. This proved highly
satisfactory to all concerned, espe-
cially to Mrs. Roisjt Ii, and was ac-
cepted as the proper solution of the
difficulty. We have not yet heard of
the arrival of the lady and her chill
dren, but expect to soon."

Is It Worth q Wrangle2

The Howard charter bill provides
that the city council may by,ordi-
nance call an election for submitting
to a vote of the people the question
of adopting the charter. 1t also
provides:
"In case no such ordinance shall
have been adopted as provided for
in section %. upon petition therefor
of one-eighth of the number OF legal
voters of such city or village voting
at the last proceeding city Or village
or general election, the city or village
council shall, by ordinance. submit
the question whether such city or
village shall become Incorporated
under and subject to the provisions
of this act, to vote of the electors
of such city or village occurring not
less than forty days after the pre-
sentation of such petition.
OF course, it would not take two
days, work. to get such u petition,
and force an election. But can't
energy be spent in a better way than
a contest over the city charter? Is
there any occasion for a division in
the city on such question? All
will concede that the charter would
be- a great benefit in allowing the
city to fund it's debt, pay cash in the
future, and then lie prohibited from
mourning another debt. What are
the objections to it?
The opposition to even fnvesti-
eating the matter by the city council
Monday evening consisted of Alder
men Martin. Moeple in and Mecusker

The Clarke Litigation.

st. Cloud Times. N. P. Clarke
went to- Minneapolis this morning
were he will meet VIM. Carlisle, Of
Atkinson, Kan, one Of the creditors
of N. p: Clarke & Co., who threatens
to begin suits to annul the transfers
made by Clarke shortly before the
failure, If the assignee does not take
such action in the near fut ure. The
delay in ilstituting the suits aggre-
eating $3O0.00O, which have jeen
talked of for some time. is attributed
to the fact that the district court
does not meet again until next June
and consequently trial of the cases
could not be had until that time.
1t. therefore, makes no difference in
regard to time whether the suits
are begun now or a few months
from this time. Some of the credit
ors seem to think, however, that the
cases should have come up for trial
before this. TO begin these suits is
of iitself no small task and it is
known that the lawyers have been
at work on the plea dings for long
time. Mr.. Clarke, of course, is anx-
ious to have as many of the creditors
as possible come under the Scent
agreement. Carlisle has been hold
ing out for 60 cents ON the dollar.
Clarke says that they cannot treat
Carlisle different than any other
creditor and that If he will not take
the 5O.cent security that is offered in
the agreement, and goes into the
general windup OF the estate that he
will probably get only about so cents
on the dollar, as Clarke thinks that
that will be all that the estate of N.
P. Clarke & Co. will pay if the suits
are commenced.
"The Powell deal" said Mr.. Clarke.
"was a square business transaction,
and there is no court in the land that
will break them up"
In the me antime Mr.. Carlisle has
very positive opinions to the con-
trary.
