GRAND OPERA HOUSE, ST. PAUL.
"AT GAY COMFY ISLAND"


Matthews and Bulger, two young
comedians and song writer's of good
reputation in what is termed polite
comic play, entitled "At Gay Coney
Island" will be the attraction at the
Grand Opera House, St. Paul, all
week beginning Sunday evening, Oct
ober 3lst. The tour of this combina-
ton last season met with gratifying
results and both play and stars we're
successful throughout the principal
cities of the east. The play is in three
acts and each is mounted in a frame
of unusual magnifcence, provided by
John H. Young of the Broadway The
atre, New York. Particular stress is
laid on the originality of the music,
and large number of whistlesome
melodies will be heard for the first
time in St. Paul. Among the new
songs are He Struck it Rich at Klon-
dixie" "My Love is a Gambler" "A
Jay in New York; able Skinner"
"While Shooting the Chutes" and
"The Gentle Foot Ball Players" The
company includes Miss Josie Dewitt,
a young lady of exceptional beauty,
blessed with a clear soprano voice of
good quality and who combines with
this accomplishment perfect mastery
of the violin, is perhaps the head of
the list. Miss Jane Whitbeck, who,
being the soubrette, must be called
dainty, and is known to fame as the
"Pas-Ma-Lag" girl. Preliminary an
nouncements of shows are seldom to
be relied upon to any great extent,
but the reputation established by "At
Gay Coney Island" during it's last sea-
sons tour is believed to warrant the
assertion that its claims to extraordin-
ary merit, are genuine. The New
York Journal says, ut is to laugh,
and you do laugh"

DEATH OF FRANK WARNER.

Frank Royal Warner, son of Mr..
and Mrs. James Warner, died at 4
o'clock last Thursday afternoon at his
farm residence three miles southwest
of thif city. Typhoid fever and jaun-
dice were the cause of death.
Mr.. Warner was first taken sick with
typoid fever about six weeks ago. At
various times during that period he
rallied and showed signs of recovery,
but with each rallying there came a
reaction and Mr.. Warner would lose
strength. Then jaundice appeared
and his physician, DIR. Gibson, prac-
tically lost all hopes of his recovery.
Nothing but his remarkable constitu-
ton kept him alive for so long after
he was attacked with the fever. He
was conscious up to within minute
of his death. 4
The funeral occurred from the Pres
byterian church, this city, at IL o'clock
last Saturday forenoon, Rev. K. W.
White of the Christian church, ofGciat-
ing, in the absence of the regular
pastor, Rev. John Sinclair. The cere-
mony was attended by large number
of friends of the deceased. The in
torment occurred in the Redwood
cemetery.
The deceased was born in the ham
let of Hannibal, Oswego county, New
York, on Oct. 9th, 1870, his father be-
ing carpenter by trade in that town.
He attended school and assisted his
father there up to about 10 years ago
when the family moved west to Red
wood county, and settled on farm
south of the city, Frank remaining
with them until about three years ago.
In 1893 he was married to Miss Alice
Bird Pike, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
A. B. Pike of this county. His wife
and two small children survive him.

one invariably discovers on making a

tinually being made that money can

doing business in the large cities, or
the heavy outlay which is necessary
to keep travelling statesmen onthe road
for the retail trade exclusively, appears
to be wholly lost sight of, and the
smooth words of the travelling vender
or the enticing offers of the supply
house catalogue blind the purchaser
to his own best interests. He buys
and then when he discovers his mis-
take it is too late to mend.
There is but one safe rule to follow
and that is to buy from home mer-
chants. Those who follow that plan
invariably, seldom have reason to re-
greet doing so.

BADLY POUNDED.
A Bird Island Man Whips Collector
Frank Warner.

Frank Warner, the well-known col
lector for the Minneapolis Threshing
Machine Co., who visits Redwood
Falls and other towns in Redwood
county at frequent intervals, was bad
~ handled at Bird Island recently, &C.
cording to the following from the
Olivia Press:
eff the facts are proven as reported,
one of the most brutal and unprovok-
ed cases of assault that has ever oc-
Cured in this vicinity was made on
Frank Warner of Buffalo Lake by
Fred Hodgdon at Bird Island Mon
day. Mr.. Warner was in Olivia Mon
day, being interested in a justice court
case. In the afternoon he went to
Bird Island and called upon Hodgdon
at Bird Island at the Office of Major
Bowler asking him for few moments
private conversation over bushes mat
ters in which both we're interested.
Hodgdon obeyed Mr.. Warmers request
and they we're hardly on the sidewalk
together in front of the building when
Hodgdon without the slightest warn
ing or seeming provocation drew back
and hit Mr.. Warner terrific blow on
the ridge of the nose, knocking him to
the ground. The assailant then
jumped upon the PROSTATE form of
Mr.. Warner and kicked his head re-
peatedly. He kept up the attack un-
til pulled off by the people attracted
by noise of the disturbance. Warmers
nose was broken, his face badly pound
ed, and he has several large swellings
on the back of his head where he was
kicked. The injured mans wounds
we're dressed by DIR. Puffer. Warner
came to Olivia the same evening and
swore out warrant for Hodgdon's ar
rest. The defendant came up Tues
day and by agreement continuance
was taken of the case until Monday.
We understand that Hodgdon's de-
Tense is,that Warner had made threats
that he was going to administer a
threshing to him and that he feared
that an attack was going to be made
on him at the time Warner called him
out of Major Bowler's Office for an in
terview and that he had resolved not
to give Warner the first opportunity
to get in blow. Hodgdon is charg-
ed with the offense of assault in the
third degree, (Which is punishable by
Imprisonment in the county Jail for
not more than three months, or by a
fine of not more than one hundred
dollars"

CHICAGO MARKET, OCT. rs.

"Ihe general monetary and COM
mercial situation is, with few unim-
portant exceptions, better at the pres
ent time than it has been since the
panic of 1885," said a member of the
firm of Schwartz, Dupree g. Go,
ut is true that for the moment there
is not the boom in stocks and other
securities that obtained a few weeks
ago, but after such an unprecedented
ly large rise in so short time it was
inevitable that there should be re-
action. This has come and gone,
stocks have recovered a good portion
of their loss and are now unquestion-
ably in better hands than ever before.
For the last week the assaults of the
bears, aided as they we're by disquiet-
ing rumors concerning our relations
with Spain, have had but little effect,
and that of a temporary character
only. The English commercial and
financial situation is such that money
is coming, in one form or another,
from that country to this in large
amounts.
"Of course the very strong position
of our wheat crop in relation to the
worlds demands for that cereal has
had much to do in producing this de-
sirable result, and present prospects
are that until another good crop is as
sured here and elsewhere there can be
no material recession in price, while
many things can occur to cause a de-
cided enhancement of values. The
admittedly decreased acreage of win
ter wheat is one of these, and possible
damage to whatever crop is in the
ground is another. Wheat has been
unusually active at much higher
range for the last three days, and
while present prices may look high to
some there is contingent of the
shrewdest traders who confidently ex-
pect wheat to sell we'll above a dollar
before spring.
"Corn is in relatively stronger pos
ition than it was week ago. The
tremendous liquidation, while it fore
ed the price down, was still tonic for
this market; and present prices seem
low to many. As to provisions, it can
only be said that when the yellow fey
or germs are killed by the frosts there
must be much better market in the
south, with advancing prices"
