LESS WEIGHING DONE
State WeIghmaster ouIst Reports Deficit
...s,- Of S4,o0573 asa
Result.

State Weighmaster P. P. Quist, who has
just completed his report for the crop year
ending Aug. 81, announces a deficit of
$4,O05.73 in his department, due to falling
off of 1896 in the number of cars re-
ceived and a corresponding decrease of
fees, together with the fact that the num-
Der of weighing stations has increased.
Six new elevators have been added to the
list. Others, now under construction, will
demand attention next season. Three
stations have been discontinued. The re-
port calls attention to the fact that claims
for shortages have fallen off SO per cent as
a result of the crusade against "sweep-
ers,' the prosecution Of whom cost the de-
partment $4,000.

HORSES DIE BY SCORE
Strange Disease Destroys Animals OF Red
River VaIIey-lmported from
Manitoba.

Manitoba.
Horses in the Red River valley are now
dying from an obscure disease that has
destroyed a multitude of animals in Mani
toba in the last two years.
The duration of the attack is from
three to- six weeks. Until his death the
horse eats twice as much as usual, but
steadily loses flesh. The cause of the dis
ease is uncertain. 1t is thought to be
microbe which the veterinarians of the
Minnesota board of health are now trying
to isolate. The state authorities are re-
ceiving aid from the provincial veterin-
arians of Manitoba, where the malady has
developed into a scourge. It has taken
so many horses from the northern part of
Manitoba that numerous farmers are now
using oxen exclusively.

4 Modern Love Story.
BY VICTOR II. SMALLEY.

BY VICTOR H. SMALLEY.
Copyright. 1902. by Daily Story Pub Coz
1t was on the broad, cool veranda
of the spacious Grand Hotel at Mack1-
nae Island. Scores of fashionably cos
TUNED guests were enjoying the cool,
fnvigorating breezes waited from that
big body of water in front of them,
Lake Michigan. The orchestra was
in the midst of a dreamy waltz from
Strauss, and the environment was one
of peaceful Ianguor.
Occasionally the quiet serenity of
the place would be happily interrupted
by a burst of laughter from a group
of young men and women lounging
on the steps leading up to the porch
from the driveway below. A trap or
two, laden with pretty, fresh-looking
girls in white, and lazy, lolling fellows
in blue serge, ratified by, and few
horsemen and equestriennes ambled
past.
A girl stepped out from the office
and walked slowly down the veranda,
glancing from right to left in search
of vacant chair. She appeared to be
about twenty years of age, was about
medium height and very fair. Her
face was decidedly pretty, with almost
almost golden-Titian, some would call
it. She walked gracefully, and at
tracted considerable attention as she
passed along the piazza.
An unoccupied rocker finally caught
the girls eye, and she settled down
into it with a little sigh of content
ment. Seated directly at the right of
the girl was women of striking ap-
pearance. The "chappies" referred to
her as "stunning;" the middle-aged
men called her an ''out and out beau
ty," while the old gray-whiskered fell
lows rolled their eyes ecstatically and
said nothing.
The object of this astonishing
amount of admiration was a brunette
in the true sense of the word, and di-
vine1y beautiful. She was of about
medium height and a trifle above the
medium weight, but the slight super
fluffy of avoirdupois only accentuated
her charms. Her finely shaped head
was set upon a throat so symmetrical.
SO proud and white, that she appeared
to be taller than she really was. Her
complexion was of the Southern type,
olive, with delicate tinge of rosy hue.
Her eyes were the most attractive of
her many charms. They were large,
luminous, dark as a starless night, and
fringe of long jet lashes almost hid
them from sight.
AS the blonde girl seated herself
her dark-haired neighbor eyed her
curiously, penetratingly. The glance
was returned, and both smiled in a
friendly manner. Soon they were in
the midst of an animated tete-a-tete,
the girl doing most of the talking,
while her companion proved to be a
good listener.
The girl said she was from the
North. She was the only daughter of
