Banker johnson of Minnesota Is
Sued for Breach of Promise
ut His Old Home.

Rome, N. Y, Aug. 25.-Samuel j.
Johnson, a wealthy resident and bank
ar of Albert Lea, Mimi, came east last
month to visit his old home and
friends near Rome, and now wishes
that he had not.
Among the relatives that he visited
was Squire Johnson, a farmer of the
town of Lea, who has an adopted
daughter aged Is. Her name is Mag
gle Kerr, and she has just sued the old
gentleman for breach of promise,
placing the damages at $4,000.
She asserts hat he proposed t o her
and she accepted. He told her to get
her wedding clothes ready at once at
his expense. She declares that soon
after the engagement he made a prop
osition to her that she could not ac-
cept and that thereupon he broke off
the engagement and left the house the
next morning before any of the fam
lily were up.
The Young woman not only brought
the suit, but has caused him to be
served with an order of arrest, on
which he was obliged to give $1,000
bali.

WILL NOT REDUCE THE

There Seems to Be Completing In.
terests In France On the
Wheat Question.
CONSUMERS WANT CHEAP WHEAT
Or us Much Cheaper as 1t Can 30
Made by II Reduction of the
Import Duties on
Wheat,

New York, Aug. 24.-A Hcrald's
Paris special says: There seems no
reason to believe that the import duty
on wheat will be taken off even ,enl-
porarily. There seems but one opin-
ion namely, that to abolish duty would
merely enrich the spectators, and de-
range the equilibrium of the budget,
and work serious harm TO The
French %cultiyator, and bring not
an iota of relief to the con-
sumner. An official at the min
istry of agriculture said: In
other years plenty duty has not been
able to make cultivation profitable.
This year there is sure to be n big de-
felt in the crops. The growers will,
therefore, be able to derive some bene-
fit from the duty. This they can do
without bread being forced up to
famine prices, as pas-v clamoring for
a%bolishing of duty seem to fear.
Therefore, it is my personal opinion
that there is not the most remote pos
sibility of the government removing
or even reducing the import duty on
grain"
The Temps publishes the following
interview. 1t is unofficial, it is true,
but nevertheless it was obtained from
someone at the ministry, where such
views are sure to be heard. The
wheat crops during the last few years
have been abundant. The market was
~overcrowded. Prices were low and
quotations were down TO 20 francs
the per quintal-even to is francs
but the land was fertile and the cult
vators managed to get a little profit
from the plentiful harvests. This
year the conditions have been unfa-
vorable. The crops have been bad ev.
%erywhere in France and Europe gem
orally. The variations of the tempera-
ture, heavy rains, halls and floods have
simply devastated the acres. The
Americans have escaped these calamit-
GUS conditions, and by herself can fur.
nish the markets of the world.
What has been the result OF wheat
being scarce? It's price has gone up.
If this is unfortunate for the consum-
er, the ag~rjculturists, who after all de-
serve some attention, will be able to
recover a recompense for their efforts
and labor. The question of wheat can
not possibly be regarded as alarming
nowadays. This is what persuaded
the general council of Loret TO vote
their desire that no modification be
made in the import duties on foreign
grain"
The municipal council vot I'd a resolu-
ton to petition the minister of agricul.
ture to remove the duty on flour should
it prove ineXpedient to abolish the duty
on wheat. A gentleman who is "a recog-
nized authority in all matters connected
with the grain trade said he did not
think Meline would accede to the desire
of the council The municipal council
voted a resolution urging the minister
of agriculture to use his ~prerogative and
reduce the duties at once from Z francs
to 5 francs on wheat.

Chamberlain, Aug. 25.-The sheepmen
IN the ceded Sioux lands west of the Mis-

fects of a poisonous weed that has LONG

raisers complain of more or less loss
from this cause. What complexities the
matter Is the fact that it is not Known
exactly which of " species of weeo

it is the loco weed" which often causes
insanity among horses, that proves ia
tai to the sheep. Others are equally pos
tive that it is an altogether different

doubt. and thai is that the aggregate
loss from this source amounts % a large

wife of Robert Mnllarky. Mr.. and
Mrs. Mullarky We're married near Wa

SO persistent that the young lady
promised at one time to marry him.
After marrying Mullarky she re-
manned in WATERFOWL to work while
her husband finished building his new
house on his farm. Larson took this
occasion to visit her, and by means of
hard threats induced the woman to
&c with him. lie took her to his farm
and kept her secreted in his granary
for ten days. Later he brought her to
the county seat and ~endeavored to
get her to apply for a divorce. This
she refused to do, and finally got back
to her husband, who, upon hearing her
story, had Larson arrested.

NOT LOOKED UPON FAvoRABLY
Trail Across the Reservation Will
BE Opposcd.

DS oPlN'9'A
Rapid City, Aug. 2A.-Thc PROPOSE
ton of Senator Allen OF Nebraska to
have opened up a cattle trail five miles
wide and sixty miles long across the
Rosebud agency is not meeting with
much favor among the stockmcn i'll
the Black Hills ranges. AS soon as
the news was received in this city a
remonstrance was circulated through
out the country among the stockmen.
which was signed by n~inety-nine out
of every hundred. Several objections
to the proposition have been raised.
First, the ranges north of the agency
are crowded to their utmost capacity,
and by opening up a trail, as proposed,
small cattlemen from Nebraska would
be at liberty to drive their stock to
the northern ranges in the spring and
in the fall drive their cattle home to
their ranges, which have been UNI
touched during the summer. Again,
stockmen claim that to drive many
cattle over such II narrow trail would
soon eat up the feed, with a prospect
Of IL scarcity of water, which taking
both together, would cause n loss in
weight to the stock of more than
enough to pay the freight rates to
market. There has already been n
great deal of trouble with the Indians
on account of cattle straying onto the
reservation, either driven by storm or
otherwise. 1t is thought that there
would be a great chance for more
trouble with cattle passing through
the very center OF this reservation.
The proposition, if placed in force,
would no doubt be of great advantage
to the Nebraska stockmen and to the
Omaha markets. The cattlemen on
the South Dakota ranges as n rule do
not take to the plan, and will fight
most bitterly an attempt to push the
proposition.
T%hreshing has begun in all of the
counties of the Hills. Wheat will yield
from s to IS bushels. Several sections
which We're swept by hail will have a
small crop. New wheat has sold for
rs cents during the week. The hay
crop is immense land the ranchcrs are
putting up a larger quantity than
usual.

HE SOLD MonrGAGED GOODS
An Old Citizen of Chamberlain's
Crooked Work.

Chamberlain, Aug. 25.-W. A. Hob
Ter, an old and heretofore respected res
ident OF this county, is Il fugitive from
justice. Some time ago he negotiated a
trade With J.. e. Moore of Sheldon, Ia.
and agreed to exchange a flock of IT'S
sheep for Moore's stock of boots and
shoes at Sheldon. He gave a bin of sale
of the sheep to Moore. and then gave
Moore a mortgage on the stock of boots
and shoes for 5000, the balance due
after accepting the sheep. When Moore
came after his sheep a few days ago he
found mortgages and unpaid taxes
against the sheep amounting in the as-
gregate to 81, 400, which he paid. with the
exception of a mortgage held by he
Bank of Biiou Hills, which had become
outlawed. Hoobler claimed he had been
beaten in the deal II refused to give
up the sheep, although the flock had
been reduced 200 head since the agree
ment was made. Moore at once closed
the store at Sheldon, but not until Hoob-
Ter had shipped about $1,000 worth Of
goods to a relative in White Lake, this
state. The shipment, however, was in
tercepted enroute. Hoobler is accused
of selling other m~ortgaged property. and
is also wanted for forgery. He has left
the country and has not yet been appre-
hended.

Deadwood, Aug. 23.-.Albert Carlisle,
who has just returned from Alaska,

George Whitelock, who was once Il

when the senior member of the firm
started out to do II little prospecting.
A few minutes later O'Neil and Sar-
gent heard him scream. Fearing that
he might be injured, they hurried to
him. He was rolling about on the
ground beside a painful of dirt he had
been washing out. A glance at the
contents showed the cause of his at
tack. 1t proved the claim to be worth
millions. The sudden realization that
he had passed from poverty to wealth
was more than Whitelock's mind
weakened by loneliness and suffering
could stand.
He has partially recovered, but is
still mentally far from sound. Min
ers who know something of such cases
say he will never be himself again.

widespread interest from the fact that
the robbers selected the Savings De-

court house, and on n street where
people pass at all times of day and
night.
The four men engaged in the job
had planned their work with care.

He drew his revolver and fired seven
shots at his assailant. He brought
Il few bullet holes in his clothing. The
groans of the wounded mar and the
sound Of shots soon brought help for
Hemminger.
The three men were seen leaping
ovcr a gate eight feet high, which
opened from a court in the rear of the
bank to an alley. They escaped.

The wounded burglar was taken to
police headquarters and a surgeon
called. The wound was pronounced

Aultman hospital. All efforts to make
him divulge a word as to his identity
were in vain and he died with closed

OYSTERS ARE PLENTIFUL.
Indications Point to an Enormous
Crop of Bivalves This

.tLs
New York, Aug. 23.-The most prof
table season for oysters for ten years
was opened today to the wholesale
trade. Never have the beds been more
prolitic; never have the rakes gathered
in such fine oysters. Blue points,
Eocknways and saddle rocks of extra
ordinary size. in baskets, barrels and
abandon heaps filled the stalls before
lnylight this morning.
Not only are the oysters of this sea-
son unusually big, but fatter and
n,ore savory. The weather has made
them so. Warmth, with gentle and
plentiful rains, have cultivated n pro-
digious crop. For the last three seat
sons oyster planting has been the
business of bankruptcy. But this year
planters who have invested as little
as $3.50 for seed oysters know their
beds will yield at least $4,000.

stating that Prof. A. L. Free of Chicago
