INDIANA MATRIMONY
Indications That Hoosier Youths
Should Approach the Altar
HeSitatingIy.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

The complaint Of the young man Of
South Bend, Ind, who is facing a
breach Of promise Of marriage suit as
q result Of a postponed wedding, might
as we'll be seriously needed. He hest
tated to wed the girl Of his choice
because some other young women he
had been going with have made
threats.
There is nothing. specific as to the
nature Of the threats, but in view Of
recent enews the young man should
hesitate before he goes to the altar
anywhere in Indiana. The Nashville.
| Ind, incident referred to in dispatches
shows the seriousness Of Hoosier mat
rimony when it is beset by complica-
tons. In this case the wedding cere-
| money had been performed and young
friends from far and near were en-
tertained at the farm Of the BRIDE
parents. It was one Of those events
often referred to in Indiana as a
| sglad OCCASION" and 1t did not seem
that it would be marred. But the
bridegroom did not reckon with the
eight bridesmaids-each Of whom, 1t
appears, had at one time and another
engaged the attention of this popular
young man.
The revenge Of the bridesmaids was
complete. They returned to the farm
house after the party, and, inviting
the bridegroom into the yard, seized
him, tied him to rail, and carried
him to a creek, where they 'ducked''
him. In the subsequent proceedings
the young man turned on his torment
ors. But they were eight to one. The
bridegrooms's injuries consisted Of an
arm thrown out Of joint and two
broken fingers.
From this it may be gathered thai
the Indiana young man may we'll hest
/ tate before he proceeds to the altar
particularly Ii he is a young man who
1 has been indiscriminate in lavishing
| his affections. A man who is com
/ PEELED to be wary Of the young women
chosen by his bride as attendants is
not to be envied.
K There is no telling what form the
4 outbreak may take. He is as likely
4 to be seized on the threshold Of mar
! rage and rushed into an alliance with
any che OF the bridesmaids as he Is
likely to receive a ducking, or, per.
haps, encounter sudden death.

MEMO. ON GRAIN
IS not ENOUGH
ELEVATORS MUST GIVE RECEIPTS
IN DUE FORM.
Case Of Vital Interest to Farmers and
the Grain Trade Has just Been De-
cided Holders of Informal Memo
randa Fail to Collect on Them.
The noted case of Henry Craner &

The noted case of Henry Cramer of
Clara City, Mimi. against the North
western Elevator company, of Mime
apolis, has been decided in favor of the
defendant. There is involved in this
case a question Of vital interest to the
grain trade and to every northwestern
farmer-the right Of q country ele-
water manager to issue receipts for
grain in form other than that pre-
scribed by statute and the regulations
Of the railroad and warehouse COM
mission, and the binding power of such
Vator company.
The case was bitterly fought in
June, 1901, was lost by the defend
ant, went before the Minnesota SUI
preme court, was sent back for retrial,
and came up again last month at
Granite Falls Fifteen or more rough
slips bearing memoranda in numbers
and signed by J. ,Keely, agent Of the
Northwestern Elevator company, but
without date or other marks Of
defniteness, made up the principal
exhibit. The court decided that such
receipts are not binding upon the ele-
vator company and are not collectable.
In the case in question the elevator
company was able to show that there
was no record on their books that they
had ever received the grain and that
their agent had never notified the Min
neapOl1S ONCE OF any Sucn receipts.
The first knowledge Of it came with
the presentation Of the slips in ques-
ton, which, the farmers claimed,
were issued to them by Keely for
grain taken in.
+ With this decision in mind farmers
and country elevator men will need
for greater caution hereafter. AL
tho the state has prescribed the form
Of receipts to be issued, 1t has been the
custom to disregard this in many in
stances.
The news that these memoranda are
worthless in law, in the event of an
error or dispute arising, will surprise
many farmers who have taken them
without question.
Charles A. Magnuson, president OF
the Northwestern Elevator company
says: ''From this case it must
not be inferred that there is any dis
position on the part of any elevator
company not to pay for grain deliv-
cred, but the companies do not wish
to pay for it twice. If a farmer ac-
oepts for his load of grain a slip OF
anything except the regular author
lied warehouse receipt, the elevator
companies do not feel it encumben1
upon them to pay for such slips, as
their agents have Instructions to issue
for ell grain received into their ele-
vators regular warehouse recelp1
such as Is prescribed by law"

4 GOOD MARKET
FOR STRAY DOGS
LOCAL CANNES MAY GO TO FEED
IGORROTES.
Gets a Hunch That the
Doghungry Fiipinos at St. Louis
Might Better Have Minneapolis
Strays Which Arc Now Drowned -
Dogs Scarce i'm st. Louis.

Alfred Johnson, dog license inspec
tor Of Minneapolis, has found a pos
sible chance to turn many honest dol
lars and at the same time help to
ward off deadly starvation among the
dog-eating Igorrotes of st. Louis. The
dogs that have been rounded up in the
city will be unleashed and when the
word comes will be sent to st. Louis.
While there has been a constant dim
inishing of the supply Of available
CANNES for the tables Of the Igorrotes
Of st. Louis, there has been a deluge
Of dogs in the pound Of Minneapolis.
The urgent call for dog meat from
st. Louis will be answered. Unless
the facts are known, the fearful sit
uation in the worlds fair city will be
little appreciated. {.
For days the Igorrotes have called
for food, only to be met with the cry
Of mo more dogs"
The streets and alleys Of ST.. Louis
have been secured by police and pri-
vate detectives on the lookout for
stray CANNES, but from the smallest
terrier puppy to the Nestor Of the
Newfoundland family, the dog supply
has been exhausted. The benef1cent
fathers Of the worlds fair town ar
rived at their wits end and then
came word that perhaps a supply
would be furnished from Minneapolis
and other cities. The practical fea-
lures Of the export dog trade are now
being considered here.
Johnson, the poundkeeper, got his
thunch" that. there was a good mar
ket for dogs on the hoof In ST. Louis
from w. w. Gentry, head Of the dog
and pony show now at Thirteenth and
Nicollet. This morning Mr.. Gentry
received a letter from the manager
Of the Igorrotes at the st. Louis ex.
position offering to buy up his super.
animated canine actors for culinary
purposes. Mr.. Gentry didn't know
whether to be indignant or amused
for it is a tradition among the Gentry
brothers that superannuated dos
actors are entitled to easy quarters
and plenty Of bones turnout the res
Of their lives. He finally disposed o,
the matter by putting 1t UP to John
son.

HOW E. SNOW
DID BUSINESS
ALLURING, SCHEME PROPOSED
By MISSING MAN.
Office Dismantled, Stenographer
Gone and Last Vestige of Minnie
sofa Title s. Loan Agency Removed
from the Sight of Those Who Had
Invested.

Has Elwood Snow gone fishing, or
did he finish piscatorial expedition
when he left Minneapolis one week
ago tonight? Thus ponder several in
vestors.
Today the office of the missing
manager Of the Minnesota Title &
Loan agency and OF the Mutual Law
association In the New York Life
building is vacant. Yesterday a local
on which Mr.. Snow had made the
first payment, and now money thrown
over the transom gives back only a
hollow sound.
When Mr.. Snow left his boarding
place on Eighth avenue S, Thursday,
he had Just returned from a safety
deposit vault where it Is supposed he
had money and other valuables. He
bundled up his fishing rod, took his
suit case and two leather grips and
hied himself to the railway station
BY Tuesday the stenographer decided
that something had happened to the
manager, and after seeking legal ad-
vice, returned the office key to the
building manager, the prepaid
months rent having Just covered the
occupancy.
Complaint is made that Snow left
town just at q time when payments
bought by the agency began to come
due. Naturally the applicants 70,
these loans are anxious about the
payments which they made to the
agency on the loans.
Snow apparently has been operat.
ing his schemes with marked success
The public was invited to join the
association and the most attractive
inducements were offered. The idea
| N h
should select the site. The applican
then suggested what sort Of a build
ing he desired, and the title agenc,
gave his ideas to its own architect
The association purchased the sit
and guaranteed the title. The house
over to the purchaser and an extr;
5 per cent was to be added.
Monthly instruments were to b.
paid, and when the per cent inter
est was paid, the other instalment
simply paid the principal. When tn
total sum was paid, the house be
longed to the purchaser. It was prac
tically the same as having rent go t.
the paying Of the principal. Wher
the association made its money wa
in charging z per cent in advance TO
the architects fee.
, Investigation Of one form Of con
} tract shows that Snow had made a.
agreement to make an examination
Of the property for $24. AS the It'll
had been examined and two flaw
turned up which had been incorpo
rated in the abstract, it is said that tn
only shadow Of offense against tn
holder of the contract was the ex
cessive charge for the examination
Mr.. Snow was Of the breezy type
He swept his future clients right o.
their feet and they general
were perfectly willing to enter int

concern. The incident. is apparent

l up; the stenographcr has quit work
/ the architects have torn the inconl
plete plans from the drafting board

ing. Meanwhile Mr.. Snow is prot

AFTER GREAT NORTHERN
Frank Ferodowiu Seeks Redress for a
Storage Wrong.

With firm belief in his rights as
a citizen and a taxpayer, Frank x.
Ferodowill recently startled the Hen
nepin district court officials by com-
mencing a mammoth lawsuit against
the Great Northern Railway company.
The case will probably never come to
trial, but it is said to have greatly
worried Brown & Albert, the Great
Northerns local attorneys.
The plaintiff expressed a trunk to
Spring Park. He failed to call for
it for some time, and as result when
he did arrive storage charges of $1.65
were asked. This the trunkowner re-
fused to pay. A compromise could
not be reached and the owner brought
suit against the company for SIS dam
value Of the trunk to be 81.
IS The dispute will probably be COM
promised by Mr.. Ferodowill being
given his trunk free Of storage charges.

POWERS WAS ANGRY
The Alderman and Frank Gaylord In a
FIstlc Encounter

The Alderman and Frank Gaylord In a
FIstlc Encounter.
Some one has mixed gall in the political
brew Of the eighth ward If demonstrations
that took place in the city clerks office
yesterday are indicative Of the feeling
there. The incident was slight unpleas-
antness that came near being settled by
a fistic encounter between 3. M. Powers,
alderman from that ward, and Frank Gay
lord, custodian Of the city hall
According to charges made, Gaylord had
told friend that the only man he had
found in the ward who favored Powers
reelection was the street commissioner.
The story reached Alderman Powers ears
and the first meeting Of the two was in
the clerks office yesterday. The alder
man opened hostilit1es at first sight Of the
enemy and made a pass at the custodian
| The object Of his wrath ducked and came
back with a swift uppercut, which failed
to land. The beltigerents clinched, but
were parted by one Of the deputies.

TOO DRY IN SPHINX COUNTY

Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal. &
Redfeld. S. D., July THE average OF
crop conditions in Sphinx county has been
somewhat lowered by continued dry
weather Plenty Of rain has fallen in the
eastern part of the county, but in other
sections the growth Of small grain has
been retarded, and in some localities grain
is permanently injured. However, the
greater portion Of the crop still promises
a good yield, provided heavy rain comes
in a few days. The saving feature of
the past week has been the cool weather,
which has helped to preserve the mois-
ture yet remaining in the ground. On the
other hand, this has retarded the growth
Of corn, and prospects are not up to the
average. altho fair crop is probably as
sured.
