Court Next Week.

The September term of the district
court will open next Monday with
either Judge Baxter or Judge Searle
on the bench, probably the former.
The jury will not be required to be
present until Tuesday, Monday being
devoted to calling and arranging the
calendar. There are no very import
ant S to come up at this time, the
most important being that Of Charles
P]ummer accused of highway robbery.
It is reported that the complaining
witness is in Dakota and if such is the
case there are some doubts expressed
about the securing of an indictment.
Unless something unforeseen occurs
the coming term will be a short one.

SECOND RECEIVER NAMED.
Foreclosure Suits Begun Against
the Superior Land Company.


. MILWAUKEE,, Wis, Dec 3.-The re-
ownership of the Superior Consolidated
Land company was extended in the
federal court today by the appointment
of Henry S. Butler, of Superior, as CO.
receiver with Scion L. Perrin, who was
appointed short time ago on a cred
itor's bill. At the same time proceed
ings were begun looking toward the
foreclosure of the mortgages securing
bond issues of $1,000,000 and 100000,
embracing property comprising nearly
all of East Superior, generally referred
to as Old Superior. Thousands of peo-
pie are interested. With the filing of
the foreclosure proceedings an order
was entered consolidating the two suits
and bringing the entire receivership
under one head.
The Superior Land Company was
largely responsible for the boom that
swept over Superior some years ago
and now possesses more than 10000
lots, many of which have fine resi-
dences and business buildings. Will
lam Hollis, the trustee, is complainant
in the present suit. 1t is just exactly
one year since the execution of the
$1,0O0000 mortgage which was to be-
come due in 1905. The proceeds of the
bond sale were used to pay the indebt-
edness Of the company which at that
time amounted to very large figure.
There was default in the first payment
of interest, however, and there will be
another default on Dec. 49,. The land
company has capital stock of So, 600-
900 and it's stockholders are scattered
all over the country.

KLONDIKE COMPANIES QUIT.
Indications Are That stockholders
Have Lost Their Money.

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The Yukon
Csriboo British Columbia Gold Mining
and Development company has quietly
closed it's New York offices. Several OF
the investors have authorized lawyers
to recover the money they paid for
shares. Some of the investors feel that
the savings which they put into the
company are lost With a great flare
of trumpets the company came to life
last July. In great big letters were
announced the several facts that j. Ed
ward Addicks, the Delaware gas king,
was president of the company, that
Sylvester T. Everett, the millionaire of
Cleveland, o., and Benjamin Butter
worth were other officers. When the
Yukon Cariboo company closed it's
office here it left notice on the door,
saving the office had been removed to
Philadelphia. This sign has caused a
world of trouble to lot of poor people
the last few weeks. They had visited
the place to inquire how the company
was prospecting Some of them went
with the expectation of finding divl-
dends awaiting them. The sign chilled
them. Some went to lawyers. Theo-
dore o. Wright one of the subscribers,
says he put in 5000, but never received
even his certificate.
Another of the Klondike companies
appears to have been disappointed and
disappointing. For the last ten days
a number of people have been looking
for the manager, or any other respon-
Sible officer, of the Northwest Mining
and Trading company, which, although
it was capitalized at $5,OOO,OOO, occupied
a single obscure office on the twelfth
floor of 80 Broad street. This office
is now closed. This company, when the
Klondike fever ragged, announced that
it had 100000 shares, but could only
let the public have 100000 at the low
price of S. per share. Ex-Gov. Camp
bell, of Ohio, and other prominent men,
were advertised as it's officers. The in
vestors in the company are clamoring
for Eugene Davis who, they said was
the manager. Mr.. Davis denies this.

Has all the wheat of the Northwest
been cornered?
Grain men at the chamber of COM
merce will tell you that it has, and of
course they mention c. A Pillsbury as
being one of the men interested in the
corner. Every once in so often the re-
port is circulated that the wheat has
been cornered and Mr.. Pillsb1ry has
done it; and just as regularly Mr., Pills
bury comes out and denies that he has
taken his corner, and the story remains
dormant a certain length Of time, when
it appears again.
The latest report of a wheat corner
does not, however, bear the ear-marks
Of it's predecessors, and is apparently
based on reliable information Mr.. Pills
bury, individually, is not given the
credit of working the deal, which, If
successful, must of necessity have a
far-reaching influence on the wheat
market. The story goes that not only
are the Pillsbury companies interested
in the deal, but the Peavey elevator
companies have also joined their cap
ital and influence.
Mr.. Pillsbury could not be seen last
night to deny or affirm the story. A
well known grain man, who is certainly
we'll posted as to what is going on in
grain circles, made the following state
ment yesterday:
1.-THE Peavey and Pillsbury companies
have secured control of not only the
wheat in Minneapolis, but that in the
elevators all through the Northwest,
and Messrs. Peavey and Pillsbury are
now in position to sit back and wait
what comes. They do not care where
the price goes now. You may have no
ticed that Mr. Pillsbury mas been claim
ing that wheat will go much higher
before long, and it is reported that he
has even said that it will go to $1.50.
This statement would be consistent
with the report that he. is interested
in a corner. Just imagine the position
of these gentlemen with control of all
the wheat and the prices soaring. They
would not care what the spectators
did with the price The time would
come for deliveries to be made, and
where would the grain men get the
wheat to deliver if Peavey and Pills
bury have it ALL

south Dakota Creameries.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D. Dec. 3-Six years ago
there were just two creameries in operation
in South Dakota. All the farmers were
raising wheat. Five years ago the number
of creameries had increased to five. Now
there are 145 creameries in operation in the
state and by this time next year l.. N. Hunter,
a creamery expert, says the number will not
be less than 200.
Mr.. Hunter says that the creameres now
in operation are bringing into the state every
month $685. 900, and insists that this estimate
is low. During 1897, he says the amount of
money brought into the state by the indus
try will amount to SO, $50 900. There has not
been a failure among the cooperative cream
by private parties, have failed but hundreds
Of farmers are now paying all their living
expenses out of the proceeds of their bust
ness with the creameres, and the proceeds
from their grain and stock crops are used
either to pay debts or as a saving.

The distribution of potatoes from the local
market does not bear out the story claimed
to have been wired from Denver yesterday.
1t was related therein that the farmers OF
Colorado had been induced to form a tuber
trust designed to control all the Southern
and Western territory; that they had held
off for high prices and that they had dis
covered too late that the keen commission
men of Minnesota had entered their own
field and cut them out by contracting to
meet all the visible demand.
1t was said, in charging upon this set
Of facts, that the railroads of Colorado,
where they formerly received from thirty-fve
to fifty cars of potatoes a day, were not DO
ing enough business this season to pay their
men. The price made by the potato men
of this state was represented as ~ cents less
than that the Westerners demanded.
"All bosh," said S. H. Hall, one OF the
best known potato men in the West. The
idea of potato trust is all nonsense. SO
far as 1 know, and we are kept in touch
with all points by our representatives, the
situation this year has not differed materially
from last as far the territory supplied

Loss of $4,000 in the Destruction
of the Waseca DryuGOOds Store.

WASECA, Mimi, Dec. 3.-The Wa
SEGA dry goods store, the property of
j. l.. Dehuff, was completely destroyed
about 2 o'clock this morning, about
$4,000 going up in smoke in less than
thirty minutes. The light was first no
ticed by Waterman Brown, but, on ac-
count of frost on the windows, he had
difficulty in determining whether it was
a night light or flame. Brown secured
a place of observation and discovered
that the ends of several pieces of goods
on the counter were burning, and i'm
mediately turned in an alarm. Inside
of three minutes, two companies were
throwing water, but the front was
blown out by the heat and the whole
interior was, a.. mas of flames. The
fire was confined to one floor, the floor
and ceiling being fire-proof, put the
building is damaged to the amount of
5000. Not 500 worth of goods was left
unchanged, although comparatively
little was completely burned.
The stock was new, and eonserva-
tive estimate places the value at $751;
600, with an insurance of $4,000.
The origin of the fire is shrouded in
mystery, and no cause has been sug-
gested by the fire department.
The fire is the worst the city has eX-
perienced since the Eaco mills burned.

GAINESVILLE, Mimi, Dec. 3.-At
AS last night Great Northern coast
. train No. 8, westbound, was run into
by switch engine No. 189, which was
running wild The engines came to-
gether one mile east Of the town. Both
engines and mail car are badly smash
ed. Engineer Griswold and Fireman
Carley on engine No. 655, which was
pulling the coast train, jumped for
their lives, which they would have lost
had they not done So Griswold's leg
and body was badly bruised, but no
bones are broken. Not life was lost.
Both engines and the first three cars,
the mail, baggage and express, were
thrown off the track. A wrecking train
worked till noon today to clear the
track of the wreck. The damage was
about $4,000.
The accident was a most peculiar
one. The switch engine at GAINESVILLE
was pushing a couple of cars of coal
up the coal chute, and in some way the
engine refused to stop, and the cars
began to go over the end of the trestle,
dropping twenty-five feet. The engine
was reversed, and the engineer and
fireman jumped to avoid going over.
But, Just as the engine reached the
dropping-off place, the coupling broke,
and the locomotive backed down the
incline to the main track. 1t went wild
at furious speed for two miles, when
it struck the coast train. With true
Great Northern luck no one was hurt
but the engineer and fireman.
Engineer Griswold, Of the passenger
engine, lives in st. Paul. He was badly
injured and has number of cuts and
bruises about the head. He has been
delirious since the accident and raves
like wild maniac.
Carley, the fireman of the passenger
train, also resides in st. Paul. He has
a broken leg and will recover.
