| CASHIER IS COLLARED.
The Organizer of Wheelmen's Clubs
Is In Hoe.
Collected Considerable Honey From
Mankato Riders.

The following dispatch from Adrian
appears in today's Minneapolis Times
w. H. Castner, who is wanted in
Minneapolis for the theft of a
bicycle and for soliciting membership
for the United Wheelmen of America
withOutsauthOrlty, was arrested here
this afternoon, and is now in Jail,
awaiting the arrival of officers from
Minneapolis. Cashier did good
business in number of towns in this
part of the state, and has probably
collected several hundred dollars from
enthusiastic wheelmen.
Cashier recently visited this city
and put IN week trying to organize
club of the United Wheelmen, and
when the local riders did not tumble
over each other to attend his meet
ings he belabored them in an open
letter. While club was not formal
ly organized in Mankato, Cashier Sc
cured over thirty signatures to his
club roll and collected a dollar from
nearly every one of them, which he
represented was the price of a men,
bership in the organization.
ECastner also represented the North
a0estern Cyczist, three numbers of which
were issued, literally filled with adj
vertising. The paper printed con-
spicuously statement from E. B.
Smith, secretary of the Mime
sotaa division of the U. w. A., certi-
flying that the Northwestern
CycHst, w. H. Cashier editor, has
been designated as the official organ
of the U. W. A. for the State of
Minnesota" etc. The local sub
scribers have not received any copies
since Cashier left, although he
claimed that it was to be published
weekly.
Recently, Mr.. Smith, in the Mime
apolis Journal, stated "that Cashier
had no authority from anyone con-
nected with the q, W. A. to receive
money for that organization or solicit
membership therein" Mr.. Smith
warned all wheelmen not to pay any
money to Cashier on the account OF
the U. w. A.
Castner claimed to have organized
clubs in many of the towns in South
ern Minnesota before coming to Man
kato.

ESCAPED ON HIS WHEEL.

Officer Flanagan did not find
young Parsons at his home in Nicol-
let county yesterday afternoon. Par
sons is wanted on the charge Of bas-
tardy, and when he refused to marry
the girl in the case yesterday her
father told him that he would be ar
rested. Parsons did not wait for the
officer to come, but took his bicycle
and started west, probably for South
Dakota. Officer Flanagan traced
him as far as CORTLAND, where he
was seen riding very rapidly, but as
the young fellow had three hours the
start the officer gave up the chase and
telegraphed to all the towns west to
hold the fugitive.

The lighting matter was then
dropped and other matters taken up.
A few bills were allowed, including
$3.50 on the street sprinkling contract.
Aid. Peterson brought up the
garbage claim of Frank Henlein and
j. N. Lang against the city. He
wanted to know whether the claims
committee intended to report, for if
it did not, they intended to go
further.
The claims committee, through
Aid. Bradley, reported that it did not
consider the city liable for the bill.
The bill is $13O, and the city had
rendered $50 to settle it which was
refused by the contractors.
Aid. Adams said that he never au.
thorized Aid. Bradley to report adj
versely on the bill for him. He made
a minority report favoring the bill,
which he said was a just one, and re-
marked that the city should pay its
bills like any other person.
Aid. Fritz said that the committee
was not disposed to be unfair to the
contractors, and if their attorney
could show cause why the bill should
be paid it would consider the mat
ter.

in favor of the curbing and gutterine
of Walnut street between Front anc

cure bids.
A resolution for the construction Of
a half block ,of sidewalk on Byron
street, above the block recently or
dered, was adopted.
Aid. Bradley complained of the i'm
provement of the triangle at the in
tersection of Fourth, Parsons anC
Lincoln streets being done at city ex
pense.
Aid. Zimmerman said that he hat
supposed that it was some little worl
being done at the request of Aid
Bradley, of the ward, and had saic
nothing, thinking it was all right.
Aid. Bradley said that he would
not vote to appropriate money to pa!
for this or to do any work for Tom
Dick or Harry.
Engineer Thompson said that tn
cost would be but little more thai
s25. The triangle could be sodded b.
the Sibley park force.
Aid. Adams said that if Supt
Blake can spend money all over tn
city on parks he had better 60 to tn
First ward and improve Germani
park. There has not been even
fence post put in or wire stretched
Aid. Peterson called attention t
Highland park and said that it ougf

mania parks, and report at late
meeting. This was carried.
Aid. Zimmerman said that Coz
tract tor Page sprinkles in places tc
much, and there are frequent mudd
places. He called attention to til

Mayor Pau said that what We
wanted was more sprinkling in d1

CONGRESS has passed the Dingley
tariff bill, and adjourned. The gem
eral outlines are very similar to the
Mckinley measure of 1890, and it is
confidently believed that theresult will
stimulate industries to an extent that
will give employment to tens of thous-
ands of operators who have been
practically idle during the past three
years. That its effects will be felt
to a great extent in a week or month
is not to be expected. The country
has been four years in re a hing pres

DEAFNESS Cannot be Cured

BY local applications. as they cam
not reach the diseased portion of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
Deafness, and that is by constitution
al remedies. Deafness is caused by
an infamed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed Deafness
is the result, and unless the infamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube re-
stored to it's normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an iniamed con-
ditiOn of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars

EDDYs VIEWS.

On his return home from Washing
ton, Congressman Frank M. Eddy was
interviewed by the Globe, in ST. Paul,
and among other things he said:
Minnesota Jared very we'll in the
matter of appointments, but adds that
it would have given greater satisfac-
tion generally, if fewer of the appoint
ees had been men living in the cities
of the state. THE appointments, he
says, were punched, and the people in
the state at large would have been
much better pleased if some of the
men had been from the country. The
congressman had little. to say of the
Goodnow imbroglio, save to remark
that little or no attention was paid in
w ashington to the effort of a man to
stand in the way of an appointment
which had received the approval OF
the senators of the state from which
it was made. The appointment of AL
yah Eastman is, he points out, prac-
tically hung up, although the ST.
Cloud man will be handed a "recess
appointment to hold at least until
congress comes together. According
to the Seventh district representative,
Fred Won Baumbach, who declined
the appointment to Chemaitz, will be
given some Office or other not later
than September. Prot. l.. Swensen,
the Albert Lea professor, who, by the
way, was with Mr.. Eddy at the hotel
last night, is slated for the post OF
minister to Denmark. and according
to the notion of Mr.. Eddy will have il
handed to him when congress sits in
December. There are one or two mi
nor places still to be filled, and the
congressman thinks that when the list
is filed, Minnesota will have nothing
to complain of as compared to the pat
rOnage given other Western states.
For some time there has been slow,
steady Improvement in buiness condi-
tiOns, and the tariff bill will have the
effect of restoring confidence, and at
least furnishing revenue with which
to keep the wheels of government nov
ing smoothly.
Minnesota especially will be helped
by the bill, with all her lumber inter-
ests, and he sees as direct result of
its passage, the employment of a
large number of additional men in the
woods almost Immediately. Manufac-
turing interests throughout the coun-
try are bound, he thinks, to receive a
much needed impetus.
