A Strange Find.

"A somewhat strange find was
made Wednesday by workmen en-,
gagged in changing Aid. G. E. Carl
sons barn, in the rear of his saloon
on the West side, into an ice house.
The barn burned down about two
years ago. The floor was not dam
aged much and the barn was rebuilt
without disturbing the floor.
Wednesday the workmen were at
work taking up the floor and under
meath Chey found a badly charr1d,
large leather wallet. The wallet
contained what they at first thought
to be quite a larg. sum of money,
b 1t on examination it was found to
he counterfeit. Twenty counterfeit
silver dollars, some of which were
melted, and with the mint marks al
most wholly oblitered, and the ash
~ OF what appeared to have been a
large roll OF bills were in the wallet.
1t was impossible to tell whether or
not the bills were counterfeit, for as
the pocket book was opened, the
ashes, which had been held in their
original position by the wallet, fell
to pieces, but considering the char
lcter of the metal money it con-
tl;ncd it is quite probable that the
paper money was also counterfeit.
Mr.. Carlson cannot even guess how
the wallet came to be placed under
meath the floor Of the barn. The
fire that destroyed the barn was of
mysterious origin, and was thought
to be the work Of an incendiary.
Prior to the fire he never noticed
any dis turbauce of his barn floor,
but it is possible that one or more
crooks, who would be apt to carry
such goods, could have used the
barn as sleeping room without his
knowledge.

A Peculiar Case.

An attempt was made Wednesday
TO saddle upon the authorities OF
Morrison county the care of psu-
per, by an officer Of Todd county,
that was not only an exhibition Of
"gail'' on the part of the officer, but
was also an unhuman way of treat
ing the unfortunate man whom the
authorities were trying to get rid OF.
Deputy Sheriff Cleary, OF Staples,
brought to this city a man named
Dick Mcmillan. The officer had al
his authority for bringing him here
an order from the chairman of the
board of county commissioners of
Todd county to bring Mcmillan here
and turn MIN over to the authorities
OF Morrison county. Morrison coun-
ty has no poor fund, each town
looking after it's own poor, SO the
county authorities refused to accept
the charge The Todd county officer
then took the man to the
Columbia hotel, left him there with
out cent and returned home. Nc
MILAN is almost blind. is cripple
and is also said to he weak minded.
For Il number of years he lived with
relatives at Motley. butfor sometime
past, we are informed. he was kept
by an aunt named Walker at
Staples. She became tired of her
charge and turned him over to the
authorities, who adopted the
methods above mentioned to get rid
of the Objectionable charge. If the
man is a resident OF Motle ~ and not
OF Staples the Staples officer SHOULD
have taken him to that town and
turned him over to the| authorities
there. Some of the county officials
here raised q subscription and sent
the man to Motley by his request,
where he has relatives, and no doubt

HE HOLDS HIS WHEAT.

Grand Forks, N. D., Herald
There was a time when a low price
for wheat meant distress, and, in
many cases, actual suffering for the
northwestern farmer. The country
was new, the farmers were In debt,
and wheat was the only crop which
they could raise for which they were
sure OF receiving cash. Bills must be
settled in the full, interest came due
Nov. l, and money must he obtained
from some source. That source was
wheat, and to market the wheat
went, price or no price. Occasion
ally a farmer held his wheat-that is
he put it in the elevator. paid stor-
age on it, and borrowed money on
his tickets, nine times out Of ten los
ing by the operation. Holding wheat
was unpopular, and the price OF
wheat at threshing time measured
with considerable accuracy the gross
receipts OF the northwest for the
year. Big prices for wheat meant
comfort, small prices meant distress.
That time is over. While the farm
er enjoys good round price for
his wheat, now as ever, he Is not
alarmed il it drops OF q few cents,
simply because he is not obliged to
sell at /, low price. There are several
reasons for this. One is that the re-
sources of the state are becoming
more fully developed and the NUM-
Der of crops that can be produced
has increased. Another il that a
profitable market is now found for
crops for which a few years ago
there was little or no demand.
Among these were flax, dairy pro
ducts, wool and stock OF various
kinds. The reason for the better
market is manifestly the better bust
ness conditions prevailing.
The result of the greater variety
OF farm products now raised is less
dependence on wheat or any other
single crop. When wheat brings a
good price, the farmer sells it. This
year he sold his flax and kept his
wheat, and while the price OF wheat
is now low, the northwest tern far
mer will in all probability receive for
the crop Of 1899 a, good fair price. for
he is in position to hold his grain
until the price suits him.

One-half the pOpula ton of the Unit

fact that deep-water transportation
is, and necessarily must he, far be
low the cost Of transportation by

cost Of water transportation by
steam, when the voyage is OF any
considerable length, is about one
quarter of the average cost OF trans.

it is only one eighth of the latter.

DENIS FOUNDRY DESTROYED.
Fire Almost Wholly Consumes tho Foundry
Plant Connected With the little
Falls Iron Works.

Quite a destructive fire occurred on
the West side Wednesday night, and
the loss Ia not alone on the property
destroyed, but it will stop the opera
tons for some time of one OF the I'M
portant industries OF the city. The
property destroyed was the foundry
in connection with the machine
shops OF the Little Falls Iron works.
The fire was discovered at about
$3.50, and the interior OF the building
was then q roaring furnace. The
tiremen responded quickly to the
sound OF the alarm and were soon
doing effective work Oh the burning
structure and others that were in
danger by their close proximity to
che one on fire. After about an
hours work the flames, which were
kept confined to the one building
We're subdued, and the fireman car
he credited with saving some very
valuable property, for both the ma
chine shops and the building OF the
Little Falls Granite company were
in great danger.
The fire is supposed to have origi
mated from the brass farnace, located
In the northeast corner OF the build
ing. The foundry had been casting
brass late in the afternoon and there
was fire in the furnace when the
workmen left at $50. It is presumed
that the fire started from the furnace
While the property loss to John
Denis, the proprietor, is considerable
he deplores tue fact that his foundry
will necessarily be shut down fol
some time, entailing great loss and
Inconvenience.
The contents of the building were
also destroyed, including the patterns
and forms. Mr.. Denis carried insur
ance on his entire plant, hut could
not state just how the insurance
was divided, and how much was or
the foundry. He will rebuild as
soon as possible, and nothing bu'
uuf<.vurablc weather will prevent th>
early reconstruction of the plant.

@. II Berrey Writes Of Oar
Sho wing at Paris EX-
position.

According to @. II. Berrey, who With
Mrs. Berrey is enjoying tour of the
European continent, the Hawaiian eX-
hibit lat the Paris Exhibition does not
do justice to the Islands. He asserts
that the exhibit is such that he Is
ashamed of 1t. Here is the way he
describes it in letter to friends in the
Islands:
1--WE were in Paris q couple of weeks.
The Exposition as q whole was good.
The exhibits from South American
countries and Islands of the Pacific
were not equal to their exhibits at Chi
cago in 1898. Say, about that Hawaii
an exhibit. We were really ashamed
to find no better. We visited the space
set aside for Hawaii three different
days. A young Frenchman not able to
speak word of English was in charge.
Through an interpreter we made him
understand that we were from Hawaii.
What few shells and beads are on ex-
hibition were not arranged with any
taste. We only saw two small dusty
native hats. / know there Is quite
variety of hats and fans made in the
Islands. If the w. C. It. U. exhibit of
Honolulu could have been sent over
and arranged as 1t Is there, 1t would
have been credit. The few sacks of
sugar and kegs OF rice placed off from
where the spectators pass attract very
little attention. One portion OF the
exhibit caused n smile-when discover
