LITTLE GIRL BITTEN
BY AN UGLY DOG.

Emma Selb, the youngest daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Seib, who keep a
bakery on Broadway, carried bone
and some meat down the lane back of
their house to yard where small
dog, belonging to Mr.. Michael Welsh,
was, and after the dog had eaten it
she, being cry fond of dogs, began to
pet it. Mr.. Welsh's little girl was
there and said to Emma: "He won t
bite you,'' so she put her hand over
the fence to pat the dog when he
sprang up and bit her through the
right side of her lower lip.
They think he probably intended the
bite for the side of her face as the
right cheek is scratched from the
lower part of the right eye down to
the bite on the lip. Welsh's little
girl attracted Mrs. Selb's attention
and when the child got to her home
her mother bathed her face and did
all she could to relieve her. In the
uu0dublAu0 MIs O01U llaU AObpOAOOO W
the calls of his wife and he wanted
to kill the dog. After a while the
child complained of the lip paininR
her and that the pain went all they
way up to her eye, SO they sent her
sister with her to DIR. Albright who
cauterlzed the wound and put plasters
on aud the child became easier and
able to be out. The doctor advised
them not to have the. dog killed yet,
thinking it better so they could be
satisfied that.he was all right and that
the bite was only the result of an
ugly disposition on the part of the
animal, as he has been in the habit Of
rushing at people as they pass. It
will be remembered that only few
months ago Emma had the diphtheria
as we'll as two of her sisters, one of
whom died. The dog is tied up in
Welsh's back yard.

Driven In.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce, Oct.
1S.-Easier grain markets We're the rule
this morning, yet prices were on only
slightly, and in the local wheat market
the tendency was firm even against con-
siderable selling. December wheat opened
firmer at 7SM @7sBc against 7Sh@7Sssc
yesterday and sold to 7Sssc and back to
1870. May wheat opened around 1890
and on the early dip went to 7SAc Trade
was not heavy In any market. 1t looked
here as tho a good order either way
would turn the market. Local stocks have
increased only $4,000 bushels, and this en-
couraged holders Of December somewhat.
Duluth had some export trade, working
about twelve loads, and some sixteen
loads were worked at gulf ports. This
more encouraging and selling ceased
as soon as the reports of foreign sales
We're received. Meanwhile the figures for
flour shipments yesterday were posted and
showed the total of 55,305 barrels, which
surprised the shorts little. Every one
knew that more flour mills were expected
to start and that shipments would natur-
ally run heavier yet they hardly looked
for so large total yet With this there
was well authenticated report Of good
flour sales by Minneapolis mills.
Receipts here were 236 cars against Alb,
and in Duluth $40 against $50. Chicago
had 1876 cars against 1T. Kansas City
311,000 bushels against $4,000 and st.
Louis "a 900 bushels against AZ, 900.
Broomhall cabed the following sum-
