Minneapolis-Wheat started in by fall

79c Thursday was down to 7SBc in the
early selling. For all this there was an
undertone of strength and the bulls were
confident of later recovery. The bears
ran through the gossip OF the morning and
enough to induce selling by weak holders.
Scarcely had the bears got themselves
filed with the spirit of depression drawn
from those reports when the market
up from 7S1sc to 1890 quicker than some
of them could act Then it was time to
shift the view over to the bull side and

BUYER ON MONEY
DRAWER BETRAYS BOY
James kearns Arrested on Charge of
Robbing Telephone Company.

The Northwestern Telephone COM
pany last night caused a warrant to
be sworn out for the arrest of James
kearns: hfteen-year-old boy who re-
sides with his parents at West Third
street, who is charged with stealing
money from the telephone company
where he has been employed for two
years.
F The boy has been employed by the
the past six months is believed to have
stolen more than $100.
During the summer the company
noticed that the cash balances were
not right, and there was a shortage
almost every day during the week.
Every effort was made to discover who
the guilty one was, but so careful was
the thief that the company was unable
to place the blame
Shortly before Christmas 1878 was
taken from the cash drawer in one
day, and finally suspicion was faSten-
ed upon the Office boy. A few DAYS
ago a "buzzer" was: attached to the
money drawer, and yesterday, while
the room was occupied by no one but
the Kearns boy, the employees in the
outer office heard the "buzZer'' ring.
When the inner Office was reached the
OFFICE boy was on the other side of the
room and denied having been near. the
cash drawer, but finally admitted that
he had been taking money for some
time
Last night the officials of the COM
pany caused a warrant to be issued.
and the lad, will be arrested today. The
officials believe the boy has been rob-
bling them for months and are unable
to estimate the amount of his pecula-
gtions, although the amount is said to
be quite large.

CHARGE STIFF PRICE
FOR SANDSTONE PAVING
Aldermen Refer Contract for Paving Eagle
Street to Committee.

The highest price ever asked for sand
stone in st. Paul, conditions considered
was rejected last night when the board
of aldermen sent to the committee on
streets an award of a contract to Fielding
& Shepley for the paving of Eagle street
From Franklin to the river.
The price asked and agreed to by the
board of public works appropriated 81. rs
a square yard, and, that in the face of
five-year guaranty; where ten years pre-
vail elsewhere. The board favored award
ing the contract. b1it Capt. Berkey. who
owns property on the street, objected Wig
crously and it was sent to the committee
where it will undoubtedly be killed
The board of public works in awarding
the contract, was Influenced by the fact
that sandstone is now higher than it was
year ago, and that no other material
could be used in surfacing the street
Sandstone is now used on the remainder
of the street, and to substitute any other
material would be to create an unsightly
looking patch. -
The factory owners along the street, it
is said, are anxious to have the work
done, and have so petitioned the board of
aldermen and the board of public works.

SAYS BIBLE IS NOT
THE GUIDE TO CHRIST
Father Conway Explains Attitude Of
Church Toward the, Good Book.

large congregation filed st. Luke's
church last night to listen to Father
B. L. Conway expound to the Paulist
Fathers the attitude of the Catholic
church towards the Bible. He said in
part:
There are two theories-the Cath
Ole and the Protestant.
L will-state the two propositions
that I propose to prove this evening:
i. A negative one, that the Bible is
not the one teacher of men appointed
by Christ to teach his doctrine.
p. A positive one, that Jesus Christ
appointed a divine, infallible teaching
authority to defend and interpret the
Bible and safeguard the entire deposit
of the faith of Christ.
=. The Bible is not the way to find out
christ, for 1t is only by the divine
authority of the church that Christians
know what the Bible is or what books
certainly belong to the Bible. Deny
her lnfallible witness and you have no
certainty either that the Bible is the
word of God, or that any particular
book ought to be included in the can
on.
