Good Intentions Precipitate a FREQ Fight,
and Arrests Follow.
Just at tho momont whom Montmartre
omnibus was starting, practical joker
noticed an odd looking old gentleman
clinging OH to tho step. Sauntoring up to
another elderly worthy who was on tho
point of following, this wicked individual
whispered i'll his eur in confidential fash
ion: You sec that gentleman. Ho is my
uncle. Ho has just got out of an asylum,
ard is still rather weak in tho upper
story. Be so kind rs to SEQ that no alights
at St. Eustaciic. shall DO 50 much Obliged
TO you.
Tho good man promised to discharge
this mission faithfully, and when the ON
nbus had reached st. Eustachc, no pulled
tho old gentleman by tho sleove and said:
''Horo VIC arc. Now you must got out -
Tho person thus addressed stared ut him
in anazcment, and when tho speech had
been repeated several times, he gayo Won't

tenor, winding up with tho exclamation
that if this was intended for IL jest he did
not sec the gist of it. A mild romonstrance

roctcd blow.
Evidently tho old gentleman had left
the asylum too soon, thought tho good
Samaritan who had undertaken to SEQ him
safely to his destination, but smarting
from tho injury that ho had received he
hit out with equal vigor, and in moment
q spnrring match was taking place in the
omnibus to the Consideration of the ladies
present, who gave vent to chorus Of
shrieks. Tho conductor, unable to bring
the encounter to close, had to summon
the aid of tho police, and eventually the
combntnnts woro led, with blackenod eyes,
to the station.
Then, after tho usual examination, they
learned to thcir disgust that they had been
tho victims Of tho practical joker who had
represented himself rs tho anxious nephew

Mrs. A. F. Smith and daughters of
Mankato have sued the administrators
of the estate of r. D. Hubbard to
recover possession or get pay for 1000
acres of land in Redwood and other
counties, estimated to be worth over
$4,000. According to the complaint,
at the death of Attorney P. A. Fos-
ter, Mrs. Smiths brother, six years
ago, he left a partly fulfilled contract
for the purchase of this land and this
was sold by the administrator to the
highest bidder, by consent of the pro-
bate court. Hubbard & Palmer were
the highest bidders, paying $8.875 for
the contract and the Foster interest,
and they state that the total cost of
the land to them was over $4,000.
The plaintiffs claim that it was
worth $4,000, the proceedings of
sale illegal and irregular, and that de-
PENDANTS conspired to defraud the
Foster heirs through wrongful sale.

the Chicago platform the Journal OF Com

"There is one respect in which the plat
form adopted by the committee of reso-
lutions at Chicago meets with our hearty
commentator, it is the fulness with
which it states the free coinage PROPOSE
tion, the most untrue and the most un-
reasonable proposition that was ever put
forward on a party PLATFORM"
This seems to be the general impression
of the most conservative element.
Europe is apparently satisfied that the
more radical the measures adopted by the
Democratic party the more assured Will
their defeat be in November. The situa-
tion has not changed since yesterday and

Several London houses think that the'big
buying of Americans during the past two
weeks is for the Kaffir crowd. These

ably happen this week.

this Is of interest.
In order 10 raise the additional fund re-

Across Niagara on a Wire.

J. E. Hardy, high wire performer,
made the trip across the Niagara gorge on
o three quarter inch wire rope the other
afternoon. The wire was strung across
south Of the railway suspension bridge be-
low the falls, and was about 100 feet above
the water. He started from the Canadian
side and walked and ran across to the
American side, occasionally lying down
and doing high kicking and the like. He
then walked back to Canada on the bridge
and again started on the wire
He did several startling feats, such as
walking with baskets on his feet, then with
a bag over his head, and then hanging by
his toes. Thousands of people lined the
bridge and the two banks.
