ACTRESS AND BARoN'S WIFE.
Madeline Bouton's Romantic We'd ding q Year Ago Just Comes
 to Light.

Madeline Bouton. the dashing young actress, who came to San Francisco a few months ago as leading lady of the F'rawley dramatic company, is married; in fact, has been married for over a year to Baron Mimptsch, German mo- bieman.
 The acress and the baron were mar Iied by minister or justice of the peace in New York, and the fact has been kept from the public on account of the bar on's plea for time to reconcile his aris- tocratic parents to the step he has taken.
 Three weeks ago Madeline Bouton left San Francisco for the east, and it wns given out that she had gone to wed Baron Mimptsch However, it became known to a few outside Miss Bouton's intimates at San Francisco that her real purpose in going to New York was to demand of her husband that he ac- knowledge her position before the world.
 Miss Bouton has become tired of as- guming the dual role, and is determined that Baron Mimptsch shall recognize her publicly as his wife, and that very soon.
 Not long ago the baron left for Ger many, and Miss Bouton's friends say his trip is for the purpose of confessing his marriage to his parents. and asking their blessing of the union. He will take his Madeline home as soon as mat tcrs are amicably adjusted with the old folks.

PLEA FOR FARMERS WIFE.
Rest Rooms Suggested for Them When They Are in Town
 Shopping.

At the convention of the Federation of Missouri Women's Clubs recently at Springfield, the secretary read letter from Mrs. Scammon making plea for the farmers wife who drives to town with her husband, finishes her shop ping before her husband is ready to drive her home, and who, in the mean time, has no place but the street where she can spend the time.
 Mrs. Scammon suggested that the clubs fit up ''rest room" for these women, supply 1t with furniture and books, and in this way make com fortable place wherein the farmers s wife can rest and be entertained in- stead of being compelled to walk the street, bundle or baby in arms, or sit down on stone steps or curbing.

WANT OUR CORN.
Heavy and Continued Demand for the American Cereal in South
 Africa.

A heavy and continued demand exists for corn, and also for American corn meal in South Africa, according to United States Consul General Stowe, at Cape Town, who has made a special re- port to the state department on the sub ject of American trade in that section of the world. The corn is quoted at $35 per hundred pounds in Cape Town, and $4.44 in Johannesburg, and the supplies do not satisfy the demand. The corn meal is quoted at S4.13 per 196 pounds. and large importations have recently arrived from America and Montevideo MT. Stowe says there is also m enor- nous demand for samp, a new article of imported food stuff, which is win ming the market, even to the detriment of corn. Owing to the fall in wheat flour has been reduced l2.1 cents per hundred pounds. Australian and California wheat is offered at S4.44 to $5.10 per hundred pounds and every steamer from America brings large quantities.

KILLS ALL HIS PET ANIMALS.
Man SIays His Dogs and Horses Rather Than See Them in
 Strange Hands.

The intense love that Harry Breban, miles from Lambertville, N. J., had for his horses and dogs and the fear that some day they might fall into the hands of some one who would not treat them kindly led him to kill them all when he moved to Philadelphia few days ago He led three dogs out behind the barn and put bullet through the head of each. Then this strangely kird-heart- ed man served his four horses in the same manner. Next he dug a large pit and buried them all together.

 She has not changed bit. She has not changed? I guess I'm wrong;
 That can be plainly seen Just twenty-three her years were then.

issouri students Growing Whiskers
 The students of Missouri university lave organized club to promote the growth of whiskers. The by-lass, which were adopted on Feb. IA. are rigid and exaeting. No student will be permitted to shave before next April, and something more than moustache is required. The student who has the longest beard at the close of school is to be rewarded. The club is said to owe it's existence to the fact that the pupils became distressed at the re- marks regarding their extremely youthful appearance.

needless to say that she gained the re-

The city council last night granted a
telephone franchise to r. TT. Evans OF
Detroit. According to the conditions or
the franchise, Mr. Evans, must begin con-
structing by April Is, and must have
the plant In operation by May ], and by
Jan. /, 1900, must have $50 telephones in
operation in Duluth. and must be con-
nected with at least 100 telephones IN
Superior.
The ordinance granting the franchise
to Mr.. Evans was introduced In the coun-
ell by Alderman Nelson OF Feb. -. 1t has
been hanging fire since that time. At the
first meeting of the new council, last
Tuesday night. the matter was -aken up.
and it was decided to deal with it at an
adjourned meeting to be held last night.
The meeting was held, and the ordinance
was passed after short discussion in
committee of the whole, and after few
amendments had been offered, some of
which were acceptd. Very little talk
was wasted over the matter.
President Crassweller appointed his
committees.
Immediately after converting the coun-
Gil went into committee Of the whole to
consider the telephone ordinance. The or
dinance was read section by section. The
only changes in the first six sections were
verbal.
The first important amendment was Of
ferea by Alderman wing of the Fifth
ward 1t was to amend section 7. which
provides that at any time after five years
the city may purchase the plant, and

INSURANCE TO BE CHEAPER
RIG cur IN FIRE INSURANCE RATES
NOW El|TECrsVE
News That Will GLADDEN. the Hearts
of Property Holders in
Duluth.

A big slash in fire insurance rates has
Just been announced by tine local compact.
The work of getting things in shape for
this cut for the reimbursement of rates that
has Just become effective has been going
on necessarily for over 4 year. In the
meantime there have been two fiat cuts
Of 10 per cent each, and now comes the
final adjustment Of rates on the new basis,
and this means n big cut in some instan-
ces. not so much of 4 cut in other cases,
but on the whole a good generous slash.
The cut is general in the Duluth district.
and the Duluth district included every
thing as far north as Deer River and as
far west as Brainerd. AS compared with
the rates a saving to those in Duluth that
pay fire Insurance premiums of about ST. 600
annually. Tt means a saving Of about S1'O:-
600 to the payers Of fire insurance premi-
uns in the Duluth district
The insurance companies have been max
ing money and they are giving the people
the benefit. Well posted insurance men
say that for the past four years the in
surance companies have been making
money This applies TO the country taken
as whole and rates are said to have been
reduced all over the country from what
they were two years ago. In Duluth the
companies have made money on the old
rates. They made money here last year.
but the cut just put in to effect is the re-
suit of doing we'll three and four years
ago. 1t has taken most of the last two
years to get matters in proper form for
me rates lndt' DuIutH now eHJOyS l. Hc
fire insurance companies made money the
country over last year, but they are said
to have only come out about even on ac-
tual underwriting. They made money on
the advance in value of the railroad and
Industrial securities in which they have
invested their surplus earnings.
1t is only by a visit to the inspection
bureau that one can gain any idea of the
amount of work that is involved in read
iusting rates in a city the size of Duluth.
A special record has been made of every
building in the city, and these records are
filed away in such a manner that the re-
cord of any particular building may be
referred to in an instant. These records
in the case of business blocks are very
full and entirely accurate. For an Ordi-.
nary residence a card is provided on which
is given its location, owner or occupant,
kind of building, exposures. condition,
stove pipe through roof or side of build
ing, foundation, water limits, besides
some other data. The record for business

matter OF opposing the action of the
county board at its last meeting in rec
ommending a horizontal reduction of
taxes on property in the forfeited list.
The council did not seem to understand
that the only property benefited was that
in the forfeited list. Mayor .Iruelsen cX-
planned that he was opposed to the re-
ductlon proposed for the reason that It
is too sweeping. He suggested that If
the county board would classify the prop.
erty in the county and deal with the mat
ter that way it would be decidedly better.
The discussion that followed took up con-
siderable time, and was taken part in by
