August IL, 1892, wheat. tic
August II, 1896, wheat. .47c
August II. 1897, wheat. ...82. c
These are the local quotations for
wheat on the above dates. A year
ago when wheat was' quoted at 47c
and silver ranged somewhere in the
neighborhood of CSC an ounce, the
Popocrat was singing his doleful song
that wheat would never be any higher
unless the price of silver went up. To
day the local price of wheat is just
35c per bushel higher than a year fago
and silver is about 13c an ounce lower
than at that time. In other words
the farmer whose wheat averages Is
bushels per acre, can get just S.. O5 an
acre more for it than he could year
ago. How does the Popocrat explain
this change which year ago he said
could not be brought about except
with the consent or aid of silver? He
doesn't explain it. He is not refer
ring to it just now.
Ofcourse the price of wheat is bound
to fiuctuate and is liable to drop few
cents at most any time, but the indi-
cations are for continuance of it's

WHEELr1AN RUN DOWN.
J. M. Vance Badly Injured Last Eve
ming by a Dray Wagon.

While J. M. Vance was returning
from supper to his work at T. W..
Harris shoe store at six o'clock last
evening he was run down and badly
hurt. He was riding on his wheel on
the west side of Front street, and
when just below Poplar street he
met three vehicles abreast driv-
ing rapidly. They were going so fast
that he feared that he could not pass
between them without accident, so
he turned to the right, hoping to pass
them in the middle of the. street. In
this he failed, for the neck yoke of
the dray team, which was the one
furtherest to his right, caught his left
arm and threw him from his wheel.
His arm was severely cut between
the elbow and shoulder, the muscles
being severed to the bone. His wheel
was also wrecked under the horses
feet. The team was stopped imme-
diately. Mr.. Vance called on four
doctors, but none were to be found,
and Druggist H. L. Parry then dress
ed the wound.
The dray was one of w. r. Ham.
mett's, and was driven by Mr.. Dick.
son. The latter told Mr.. Vance that
he did not see him or he would have
slackened the speed of his team to
have allowed the rider to pass. The
other vehicles were the oil delivery
wagon and buggy. 1t is probable
that the drivers did not notice Mr..
Vance, or they would certainly
not have crowded him to one side
as they did,

WARM IN OLD TOWN.

Hook and Ladder Co., No. had a
"hot time in old town. last night
over the death of one of it's black
horses. Chief Phillips offered to pay
for the horse, but motion to accept
this proposition was voted down, as
was also one to divide the cost evenly
with him, and one for the company
to assume the cost. A committee was
appointed to confer with Mr.. Phillips,
and another meeting will be held
Monday night. Witnesses were ex-
amined, and the members are said to
have been very outspoken in their
views, and other matters were
brought into the discussion. Hose
Co. No. passed resolution week
or two ago forbidding it's team being
taken outside of the city limits, and
the hook and ladder company will
probably follow suit.

pOsTORFlCE nATTERS SETTLED.
Congressman McCleary flakes Re-
commentators For Three Towns.

Congressman McCleary returned to
the city last night from trip into the
Second district taken for the purpose
of deciding upon recommendations
for several postoffice appointments
where the terms of the present in
cumbents expire before Dec. lst. He
has decided on the follwing recon-
mendations:
Blue Earth City, Geo. w. Boswell,
to succeed Oscar A. Bishop, who was
appointed September 2Sth, 1893
Elmore, Ole c. Enge, to succeed
Otto Scholthis, VINO was appointed
July 81, 1893.
CTyler, Lincoln county, E. D..
Bigham, tos succeed Carl Hanson,
whose term has expired.
Congressman McCleary left on the
afternoon train over the Milwaukee
road for Pipestone and Murray
counties, and expects to return to the
city Saturday. While in the counties
named, he expects to settle the post
office questions in the places where
the terms of the present incumbents
expire previous to Dec. 1st.
Where there are several candidates
for an office, Mr.. McCleary finds it no
pleasant or easy task to make a
selection. Often the disappointed
ones are needy and deserving men,
and in that case it is sad matter to
deny them their requests. The office
of Congressman under an administra-
tion of the same party is no bed of
roses
