PRIVATE JOHN ALLEN TALES
Two Told of Governor Cookery and
 Two Others.

Private John Allen of Tupelo, Miss, q member of the government commis sion of the St. Louis exposition, did not figure to any great extent in the cere- monies of dedication of that enter prise. but he was there all right, for several good stories of his invention or experience have been brought back to Washington, says the Post. It was at a little dinner given to Alexander Cookery, governor Of Missouri. that Allen flashed some wit at the expense of the guest of the evening.
 "I met an old farmer out on the grounds today" remarked Allen. and he seemed to be very well informed about affairs pertaining to Missouri. Finally We got to talking about the poodle stories of the Missouri legis- lature and the fact that the name of Lieutenant Governor Lee became in- volved in them.
 '''I am glad that my old friend Dock cry is not mixed up in any 0. these things I said
 "'Oh, you needn't have any fear on that score replied the old farmer: Cookery was always mighty clever in covering up bis tracks
 Then" continued Allen. ''the dis cussion turned on the governor here and the success he had achieved.
 He had a war record to start with or he could not have got along in Mis- souri, I said.
 "'Wen, remarked the old farmer. 'Dockery didn't have much of war record. To'ard the end of the war he joined a company of home guards with the stipulation that the company was not to go out of the county u9less the enemy came in. |"
 At another time Private Allen told story of Tupelo. The wife of shrewd old darky of my town died not long ago" he said. and in making ar engagements for the funeral the old fel- low went to the ticket agent and in- quired the cost of round-trip ticket to Birmingham and also a round-trip ticket for corpse.
 You want d round-trip ticket for yourself, but you want only one way for the corpse, said the agent.
 see heah, boss said the darky. T knows what Ise about and what I want My old Sal done had a lot O. kin folks at Birmingham and dey all wants ter see her befo' she's buried. Now. ax ter fin out if it's be cheaper fo' me ter take old Sal up ter Birming ham and back an it'll be ter feed a lot of dem Alabamy niggers fer a week dat1l come to de funeral. "
 What are you doing for the exposi- tion?" was a query addressed to the private by d friend.
 . Not so very much" answered Allen. and some of my best efforts miscarry. went down to Arkansas to get the legislature to make an appropriation for an exhibit. When I arrived at Lit tie Rock sort cf reception was ten dered me by former residents of Mis- sissippi. a great many having come across the river into that state.

 The wages paid are very satisfac- tory to those employed. Mir. Frank M. Mcclure asserts. in his article on "Tne Beet Sugar Industry, Fin the June Pear sons. In 1900, for example. nearly sl,5O0,C00 were expended in wages in America to those who worked in Jse beet fields and in the beet sugar fac tories. The larger per cent of this amount went to unskilled labor The exact amount paid to technical work CTS was s356,675. The figures for 1902 will undoubtedly show some s3.00O. .0OO paid out in wages. Those of the Amer ican laborers employed in the field dur ing the past year cultivated more than 250 0O0 acres

''I think said the old rooste-. you are making a most tremendous racket over one egg"
 Perhaps you don't know" clucked the old hen, that eggs are worth 2lz cents apiece theSe days"
 That's exactly what I'm kicking about" returned the rooster. Tt takes whole dozen of such eggs as the one you are cackling over, madam. to look like 30 cents. Now stop your noise,"

BREAKS THE RECORD
Receipts of Cattle Yesterday the
Greatest Ever.

Receipts of cattle at South st. PauI
yesterday broke all former records at
that market. The official count showed
total cattle supply of $3.50, against the
former banner run of 8,925. made Oct
20 last year.
The entire receipts of all kinds of
stock at South st. Paul yesterday ar
rived in 449 cars and were distributed
as follows: Cattle, 9.464; calves, 119:
hogs. 1,O62; sheep, 8,37S.
The largest receipt of cars on any
day previous to yesterday was on Mon
day, Oct. 6, 1902, when 43O cars were
received.
Western cattle from the Dakota and
Montana rangers made I'D about rs
per cent of yesterdays cattle run. The
stock was, for the most part, in poor
flesh. fact attributed by shippers to
the WetneSs of the season that nre-
vented the grass on the ranges from
curing earlier. Feeder BUYERS pur-
chased heavily of such of the arrivals
as were not in suitable condition for
the block.
In speaking of the heavy supply a
trader said:
1T is rather hard to account for the
liberal marketing at this time, in view
Of the fact that all markets have shown
a steady downward trend during the
past two weeks. Cattlemen have held
back shipments for some time, however
In hope that the market would improve
The season is now well advanced and
the stock must come freely now or be
held on the range another winter"

OBTAINING EVIDENCE
GRAND Jury VIII Be Asked TO Go
After Blind Pigs.

1t was rumored about the court
mousse yesterday that the grand iurv-
which has been summoned to meet Oct
3, will devote some time to an investi-
cation of the alleged blind pigs"
which are said to exist in Ramsey
county, both within the city limits and
IN the county beyond.
For some time past charges have
been made that saloons were being
run In the county without a license
and complaints have reached as far
as the county attorneys office. A
month ago the county commissioners.
AFTER their attention had been called
10 the matter, suggested that County
Attorney Kane make an investigation
OF. the charges, but the county attor-
ney declined to do so, contending that
1t was the duty of his Office to care
for such people after they had been
arrested, but not to go out and look
them up.
Others, however, have taken the
matter up, and it is stated that some
startling facts will be presented to the
grand jury when it comes to the in
vestigation of places of this class.
Evidence is already being secured,
and the crusaders, it is stated, will
have some convincing proofs to submit
to the members of the grand jury.

THEY MAKE PEACE
Elopers Settle the Affair With
the Deserted Ones.

The connubial affairs of two families
We're aired in police court yesterday
morning, when George Sturgeon and
Mrs. George Sanford, of Hobart Okla,
were arraigned, charged with disor-
derby conduct. They were arrested
where they had been living, Eighth and
NELL streets, Saturday night by De-
tective Fraser, on complaint of George
Sanford, who informed the police that
the woman was his wife. ~
Sanford, who is comedian playing
in variety houses, claims that the
woman he caused to be arrested with
Sturgeon is his common-Iaw wife, and
alleges that Sturgeon is married. and
that Sturgeon deserted his wife to
elope with Mrs. Sanford.
Both families resided in Hobart three
months ago, and were intimate asso-
clates. Sturgeon disappeared and with
him Mrs. Sanford, the pair taking along
with them Surgeons youngest child
Sanford and Mrs. Sturgeon combined
to locate them, and finally Sanford
found them residing in st. Paul
The affair was settled in police court
yesterday afternoon when Sanford
agreed to drop all charges against the
pair and take his wife back. Sturgeon
will restore his child to his wife, and
the charge preferred against him and
Mrs Sanford by Mrs. Sturgeon Will
probably be dropped 80

DELAYS PHALEN PARK
Contractor on Forest Street
Makes Assignment.

The opening of Phalen park, which
the board of park commissioners has,
for the past two years, been trying to
accomplish, is destined for more delay.
Yesterday Thomas Linnan, who holds
the contract for the grading of Forest
street, over which the street car will
pass in making connections with the
park, filed notice with the city of the
transfer of all his tools and equipment
to George Michael.
The equipment consists of a lot of
grading tools, seventeen head of horses
and number of wagons, all in use in
the grading of the street 1t is not
known whether he intends to carry out
the contract or not, but it is feared
that the assignment will have the ef-
fect of holding up the job.
Linnan was to have had the street
completed two months ago. The park
board, Vexed at the delay, as it meant a
complete knockout of its plans, threat
ened to sue Linnan's bondsmen. The
board of public works refused to in
terfere, because Linnan had taken the
contract much cheaper than any one
else would have done. The street is now
about half completed. and if Linnan
Stops work it is not likely that it will
be finished this year. The park board
hoped to have the street car tracks
down by the latter part of October.

L was doing I put one hand on his arm
to pull him away, but could not bulge
him. l then put my other hand on the

are cited for tomorrow. The board
now hopes to clean up all of its work

VIII be excluded from the meeting has
not been announced. 1t is believed
that the work on public service corpor-
atoms Will occupy more than one day,
as the representatives of the companies
are to be heard.
All of the loan and trust companies
Of Minneapolis have been cited to APP
pear tomorrow to show cause why their
assessments should not be increased.
They are the Minneapolis Loan and
Trust company, Minneapolis Trust COM

sance and Trust company.
There is no time limit placed by
law upon the sittings of the board,
but, as the appropriation for the re-
Enumeration of the members is limited,

long enough to exhaust the current

to finish UP the business and adjourn
The members of this board, like the

ance of So per day, including Sundays,
and all days from the date of the or
