mysterious Disappearance.

Joseph Ehresman, of Albany has mystic
riously disappeared, and nothing has been
heard of him for nearly three weeks Ehres-
man had been engaged to teach the second
room in the Albany schools for the coming
year School began there week ago and
Ehresman failed to put in an appearance. 1t
was thought that he had mistaken the date of
opening as many Of the schools opened for
the fall term today But as the time had
passed the friends and relatives of the absent
man began to inquire for him. His trunk
containing his clothes are at his Sister-in-
laws house at st. Joseph but he has not been
there He left there nearly three weeks ago
without saying where he was going nor is
there single clue to his movements. Since
his departure from st. Joseph he has not
been seen by any one, He is young man
of about twenty-five years of age. of excel
lent habits and is supposed to have had con.
siderable money at the time he left St. Jo-
seph. The reasons for his non.appearance
are purely conjectural. It is thought possibly
that he has been foully dealt with or his
mind had become affected by the tragic
death Of his brother, who was killed by the
caving In of a sewer at Sank Centre few
weeks ago, and he has wandered away. The
trusteesof the Albany school would be glad
to have any information of his whereabouts.

The only man crushed in the sewers here
was Charles Nelson, q scandinavian, whose
residence was Minneapolis. Certainly, this
will not account for Mr.. Cheeseman's mental
alteration. @ts,,s

WELL. DONE!

St. Cloud, with the assistance OF
some of the outside towns, raised
about $500 for the benefit of the
transportation fund for the 18th
regiment. St. Cloud, of course,
had direct interest, as Capt.
Mckelvy's company is largely COM
posed of men from St. Cloud and
vicinity. The St. Cloud Times OF
Saturday says:
Mayor Mcdonald received letter
from M. Hogan, mayor of Sank Cen
tire, this morning, containing . check
for $26, for sale of Thirteenth regi-
ment badges. Mr.. Hogan has been
active In disposing of them and is en-
titled to great credit for his efforts.
In addition to this jacob Bros.
& Mack sold a dozen or more and
several others were purchased by
about sixty in all.

The Dispatch's suggestion, made

The Dispatch's suggestion, made
some weeks ago, that the next state
convention iudorse Senator Nelson as
a matter of course, has been generally
commented upon by the republican
press Of Minnesota, and, SO far as we
have noted, without one to oppose it.
AS the Princeton Union and some
others have pointed out, such action,
while not essential to Senator Mel
sons reelection, would be vastly
beneficial to the republican party,
and it was with this in mind that the
original suggestion was made. The
party reeds all of Senator Nelson s
friends, and will have them, but it
should give them the glad hand on the
first occasion, and that occasion will
be at the state OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
For the state convention to ex-
press its preference for United
States senator is eminently fitting,
for the delegates come directly
from the masses of the people as
their representatives, and when
the method shall have become so
habitual as to be part of the regu:
lar work of the convention, dele
gates will be carefully selected
upon the issue of their preference
for United States senator. ItWould
be brave majority in, a Ieegisla-
ture which WORLD dare to pullify
the action of its party state con-
vention. I 20

The postal money order system

The postal money order system,
from a small beginning in 1864,
when the numbered money order
post offices established in the Uni
ted States was 4io, has grown to
be one of the great indispensable
agencies of exchange. There are
now about 10000 such Offices.
The number of domestic money
orders issued in the United States
during the past year was over 3d.
100000 amounting in value to
S21o,0OO,o0O. The system is used
most extensively for remittances
from places where bank exchange
is not so readily obtainable. While
experimenting facilitiess for inter-
courses between populous centers,
it has its own special field, supply
ing means for the safe and cheap
transmission of money where
other agencies for, the purpose
could not be successfully main

Merchant of Venice.

When the myriad minded Shakes
peare conceived the immortal play of
the Merchant of Venice he set
precedent in dramatic construction
for all time. None of the many great
plays'written by the "Bard of Avon"
are so popular with all classes as the
Merchant of Venice
In the character of Shylock, Mr..
Dodge made, his debut. Sir Henry
Irving, the greatest of the worlds ac-
tors, had given his mastery interpre-
tation of Shylock in the same city a
few days before the appearance of Mr..
Dodge in that role. The audience
went to the theater to be disappointed,
they came Away acknowledging the
triumph of Sanford Dodge. He gained
rather than lost in the comparison
with Irving. The educational faculties
throughout the land, realizing the
wonderful literary merits of the ''Mer-
chant of Venice" have included the
study of the play in the regular course
OF the high school pupils.
In his conception of Shylock Mr..
Dodge does not aim to make him the
red-handed, unmitigated william that
people generally consider him. It is
his opinion that Shylock, in demand
ing his pound of flesh, did what he
thought was right. He was merely
obeying the mandates of his people,
" an eye for an eye, and tooth for a
tooth. This was his religion and he
was following it's teachings as faith
fully as the most devout churchman
believes in the golden rule of Chris
tianity. Everyone, old and young,
students, workers, professional men,
merchants and mechanics should be at
the opera house when "The Merchant
of Venice" is produced by Sanford
Dodge. The delight, the instruction
and enjoyment will repay one tenfold
for the price of admission. Will APP

of 81 cents more per pound for meat

That is right and proper. Fully
one half the animal is dressed
away into worthless offal, and the
rough meats have not advanced
perceptibly. The fact is that the
butcher must advance his prices
more than twice as much as the

THE WHEAT PROSPECT.

The Cincinnati Price Current,
whose crop estimates are usually
fairly accurate and unbiased, gives
good reason for estimating the to-
tai spring wheat crop of Minnesota
and the Dakotas at It's 100000
bushels, the rest of the spring
wheat crop at 100000 bushels,
and the winter wheat crop at 275,-
100000 bushels, making total
American crop of. only SIS 100000
bushels against 700, 100000 bushels
last year. Even if this estimate is
100000 bushels lower than the
actual results, there would be a
margin of 125.O0O,00O bushels to
be made up provided the worlds
stocks and reserves and foreign
production were the same. But
stocks and reserves from being a
year ago at one of the lowest points
ever reached, have been brought
to affair normal by last years crop.
On the other hand, taking Europe
as whole the crop is far below
what it was last year, both Russia
and the Balkan regions, which us
ually are the only ones to have a
considerable exportable surplus,
having suffered damage, while
barely average crops are found in
the importing countries. India al

is not likely to cut a great figure as
