Unless there are new develop
meDts, the receivership proceedings
in the case of Longini & Thoms will
not again come before Judge Caldwell

giving Gwenty-four hours notice to the
other party. Mr.. Longini left for the
east yesterday morning, presumably
to see the creditors and try to arrange
the proposed settlement on the fifty
ent basis.
"A. Blissenbach, the photographer

On a number of mornings this
spring and summer 0. Monson, the
tailor, has found the front and rear
windows of his store on Jackson street
smeared with refuse. This morning
he found bundle of stale meat, bread,
ETC., in front of the door. We are
loath to believe that this is the work
of any grown person, but rather be-
lieve that some young boys have done
it, for the perpetrator is devoid of
any sense of decency. If it is repeat
ed, it is safe to say that Mr. Monson
will invoke the protection of the law
Heavy showers, accompanied by
electrical displays, occurred yesterday
afternoon and again early this NOR
ming. The ground is now thoroughly
soaked, and if other parts of the
Northwest have been so we'll favored
with rain there will be no more need
ed to mature the crops. 1t has been
many years since so wet season has
been known in Minnesota. Every
low place in the country is a swamp
or pond and every long dry water
course is running.
