IN TROUBLE AGAIN.
R. c. Pickett, Formerly of this City, Ar
rested at Mime apOlis.

Reuben g. Pickett, formerly of this
city, is under arrest at Minneapolis
under the name of George CHASE.
Pickett has been cashier for Smith &
thinner, of Minneapolis for nearly
two years. Some weeks ago he left to
take his summer vacation at Lake
Minnetonka, where he has since been
residing with his wife and two chill
dren. Not suspecting anything wrong,
but following usual custom. the pro-
prietors concluded to have their books
audited d, and engaged an expert. Last
Sunday, another employe Of the firm
was at the lake and innocently in.
formed Pickett that the books were
being. when the pro-
prietors went to their. Office Tuesday
morning there was every evidence Of
a bold robbery. - -
The detectives who were put on the
case were not satisfied with the story
of the robbery, but found that the
safe had been opened by'some one who
knew the combination and that the
lock had been hammered for a
"blind.',. Another suspicious fact
was the disappearance Of the papers
and books of the firm, while the cash
drawer had not been tempered with.
Pickett was called in and, according
to The Pioneer Press, it Is said that
he broke down after an Interview
that lasted TWO hours, and confessed
to having stolen the papers, and told
where he had buried them under
ground. They were recovered and
Pickett Was locked up. Ii is supposed
that Pickett is short $500 TO 5000 in
his accounts.
Pickett Travelled for Rosenberg,r &
Mobiles of this city, VI til be was ar
rested because Of alleged crookedness.
Then he was employed by RosenDer
ger & Currier and his bondsmen had
to put up for collections not turned
over. Pickett sent in his sample case
and wrote the firm that he wou' d
Dever be heard Of again. When he ap-
piled to Smith & thinner for situa-
tion, he referred them to Rosen berger
& Currier. The latter sent to Smith
& thinner Pickett's letter and an &C.
count of his doings here. Pickett has
relatives in the city

The National Association of Manu-
facturers have had established at
Caracas, Venezuela, sample ware
house, where manufacturers can at a
small cost put on exhibit samples Of
their goods. with all the necessary in
formation that the buyer would want
regarding them. The United States
consul there has made thorough ex-
animation Of the warehouse and it's
value to American manufacturers
and business men, and finds it to be a
most valuable move for them. The
warehouse, he says, is daily visited by
hundreds of business men from all
part of Venezuela, who seek and find
here the information they want Of
American goods, and the trade of this
country is being extended there be-
cause Of it.

THEY ARE REDUCED
TO-

The Democrats are hard pushed for
an issue this year, aud they are grasp
ing at every straw, no matter what 1t
is. They realize that silver 16 to is
played out, and that something else
must be substituted therefor At a
meeting Of some Of the state leaders
of that party in Illinois the other day
it is SAID that "Buck" Hinrichsen,
who holds himself as the head and
front Of the party in that state, de-
clared that they must make the Re
publican war scandals" the big issues,
and press it vigorously. And those who
surrounded him agreed and we're seem
ed impressed with the working of his
great brain. 1t is pitiable indeed to
see q great party reduced 70 such
straights, but possibly it may not be
such long jump for party, that in
the last national campaign advocated
policy, that had it been successful,
would have brought about n5tional
dishonor and reputation. The Min
ueapolis Journal in commenting upon
it we'll says:
Now, the censuraole mismanage-
ment by the war department is prac-
tically charged by the Democrats as
being Republican policy Itseems
incredible that political party should
debase itself to that extent in this
country, but it is fact that the is
sueless Democratic party are trying to
make people believe that Republican
policy introduced malarial and typhoid
fever in the camps and Republican
policy inje cted the virus Of yellow fever
and Republican policy selected poor
transport accommodations for the
troops. That is the Democratic stock
in trade. If this was Republican policy
why did the Republican press demand
inquiry and condemn the irregulari-
ties in the strongest terms? The
most Influential journals in
this land are Republican and
they have been most emphatic
in calling for, the investigation
which the president has ordered. But
the party which deliberately proposes
to carry on campaign Of calumny
and slangwhangery against the Re-
publican party on such basis ought
to feel the quivering flames of shame
rolling over tnem,' but they are too
hardened in their decadence to enter
tain such quality as shame and pre-
fer TO prove as utterers of forged tales
and coiners Of scandal, heaping upon
modicum Of fact a towering struc-
ture OF disordered fancy and demand
ing that on such basis the country
shall hand over the government to a
party scourged and branded at the
last general election as proclaiming
principles destructive sof national
honor and public credit, and subver-
sive to a good government. That is
Democracy al the close of the nine
teenth century for you! Confessedly
beaten on the free trade issue aud on
the 16 to issue, the leaders sacrifice
the small reslduum of honor they pos
sess to a baseness beneath contempt"

THE ANDREWS OPERA COMPANY.

On Saturday, Sept. oath, Mankato's
home organization, the Andrews
Opera company, with Ed. Andrews,
Florence Clayton, Jay Taylor, Nellie
Andrews-Ste Caddie Lee Andrews,
and other members in the cast will be
at the Mankato theatre. The An
drews company has, during the past
year, made big strides into national
favor and comes back to it's home
town with the prestige of its recent
big success, in many OF the largest
and most critical cities Of the coun
try. The bill selected for Mankato
will consist of "Cavalleria Rusticona"
and two acts from Martha" and our
music lovers Emay confidently look
forward to the greatest musical treat
ever before by the Andrews company
IN this city. The intensely dramatic
music of Cavalleria stands out in such
marked contrast to the soft lyric
melody of Martha that the double bill
will make a most delightful evening
of music.
The company goes west after its
Mankato engagement, and has been
secured by the management Of the
South Dakota State Fair association,
as it's special musical feature, after
which it goes for week to the Sioux
Falls carnival. The present season
will include all the'scentral western
states and most of Il the Southern
states.
