The Dukes Retort

The duke Of Argyll has rather a
pretty wit, and some years ago he
was travelling in Canada on a hunting
trip. He joined a Canadian Pacific
train about twenty miles from Mani
toba, and having been roughing it
fairly hard the duke, as he sank into
seat beside a fine young lady from
Boston, looked as begrimed and
weather-beaten a trapper as ever
brought his peltries into the settle
ments.
Don't you find a too utterly pas
sionful sympathy with natures most
incarnate aspirations among the sky
topping mountains and the dim aisles
of the Notwithstanding forests, my
good MANI" said the soulful lady after
an interval.
ooh, yes, yes" replied the apparent
backwoodsman, "and 1 also am fire.
quently drawn into an exaltation Of
rapt bllssfulness and beatif1c incandes-
cent inhnity of abstract contiguity
when my horse stumbles."
Indeed" said the Boston maiden, II
had no idea the lower classes ever felt
like that"

RIVERSIDE, Sept. 30.-Several good
sales of town property have been made
Of late and improvements will result.
One of the sales was the transfer from

with seventy-foot frontage on Seventh
street, directly opposite the fire hall.
The consideration was $4,000. The pur-
chaser will erect brick block on the

herder on the plains below Corona. He
had saved a little money and loaned

security the lot just sold and another on
Eighth street in Riverside. His friend
could not pay the money back and
Vallon reluctantly took the property.
That was matter Of twenty years
ago. During all these years Vallon has
down building on the Seventh street
lot. Today the Eighth street lot is
valued at $4,000 and the Seventh street
lot has just been sold for $4,000.

GAME WARDEN IS
OUT OF THE JUG
sPICER, MIMI, j. p, LEARNS
WHAT HE Is.
Former Minneapolis Detective, as a
Special Game Warden, Had Reused
the Ire Of Poachers at Green Lake
and They Had Him Arrested He'll
Got Even Now.

William Fairburn, the former Mime
apolis detective who, while acting as a
special game warden, fell into the hands
Of poachers at Spicer, Mimi, yesterday,
and was arrested at their instance, and
locked up in the local jail, was released
today, according to a dispatch to T b e
rn a l, from Spicer.
An attorney, representing the state
game and fish commission, who was sent
to fairburn's aid last night, when
State Game Warden Fullerton received
the telegram announcing the plight OF
his deputy, convinced the justice Of the
peace that the complainants had no case
against the state g representatives. II
appeared that the justice didn't know
what Fairburn 3 official function was
Fairburn had been very busy in the
vicinity Of Green Lake, and hac
aroused the ire of the poachers BY
moving faster than the reports of hi
actions, he rounded up ten violaters Of
the law. Six were tried and tineC
amounts varying from $40 to $26, fol
illegal fishing.
A man named Paulson was in a boa1
which was just putting to shore at thu
inlet at Spicer when Fairburn nabbet
him. Paulson pointed gun at Fair
burn IS head and was arrested for re
sisting arrest. The fight that ensuet
was what caused Fairburn g arrest. Tn,
deputy, free again, will remain il
Spicer to prosecute the other case
which will be tried Friday.

TIME FOR MIR. R0GAN
TO COME TO FRONT

Who is F. L. Rogani If he is found
he may save Percival R. Ross from
term in the state prison. Ross is on
trial before Judge William Lochren, in
the United States district court,
charged with illicit use of the mails. He
had carefully contrived scheme, which
was advertised extensively thus:
"Ladies and Gentlemen-How to
make $40 wee kat home.'
Applicants were required to deposit
81 for instructions and materials, which
the circulars stated were worth %. In
defense Ross claims that he was merely
an agent and that the head Of the
company was F. L. Rogan. No trace
has been found Of Rogan and the post
office inspectors believe him a myth.
Ross denies that he ever received the
applications sent by the inspectors and
they affirm that the applications were
delivered to him.
After the last witness had been called
by the prosecution and Ross had fin
ished his testimony, W. T. Coe, attor.
ney for the defendant, declared that
he had another witness who would
prove that Rogan existed. When he
rose to look for his witness he could
not be found, but Coe kept on explain
ing what the witness would say.
Prosecuting Attorney Paul Ewart de-
manded of the judge, that the state.
ment before the jury should be stopped.
The demand was sustained and the
case will probably 60 to the jury today.

GRADE CROSSING FARLEY
COUNCIL COMMITTEE AND REP
REsENTATIvEs OF RAILROADS
DISCUSS SUBJECT AGAIN.

Grade crossings were discussed fyom
every standpoint at the meeting of the
council committee on crossings tits
afternoon. Representatives Of the Mil
waukee, Northern Pacific and other
railroads were present.
When the present agitation was
started last fall the Milwaukee and
other roads made proposals to the city.
The Milwaukee offered to raise its
tracks at Washington avenue Sc and
Erie street with comparatively little
expense to the city. The plan was op-
posed by City Engineer Rinker on the
ground that the railroad was getting
the best end of the bargain, as it would
have a much lighter grade than would
be possible for the street under the
tracks. Mr.. Rinker maintained that
the grades should be more nearly even.
It was found to be more practicable
to raise tracks over the streets even
where there are street car lines. The
clearance for railroad work, especially
where it is necessary to do switching,
is about twenty-one feet, but street
cars can operate with less than fifteen
feet. :;
While the railroads are willing to do
some work and bear part Of the ex-
pense, they are working for every pos
sible advantage.
There is also a. legal question in the
matter of prior rights to crossings. It
is maintained that when the railroad
was put in before the street the railroad
ha sthe prior right.

FLOOD OF WHEAT
TO DROWN GATES
BIG LOTS OF GRAIN ARE GOING TO
CHICAGO.
Heavy Shipments From Here Credited
to Armour, the Leading Bear, Who
Wants to Give Plunger Gates All that
He Wants and Enough More to Break
Corner.

The fact that eighty-six cars Of
wheat came into Minneapolis yester
day and that this morning ninety-two
cars were found to have been shipped
out, occasioned no end of comment at the
Chamber of Commerce today. When it
was found that against receipts today
OF ll6 cars over 100 were ordered out,
question. Best opinion has it that q
food Of wheat is settling toward Chi
cago, where the Gates corner is un-
der way and that wheat from the en-
tire northwest is being thrown in
upon the big plunger who has bulled
Chicago May wheat until it is higher
than any option in the world.
The Milwaukee road today took forty
out of Minneapolis. This is supposed
to represent buying Of wheat here by
Armour, the big Chicago bear, who,
corner.
Wheat from territory naturally
tributary to Duluth is being bought in
the country for direct shipment to Obi
This morning the sellers Of No. !
Northern wheat, feeling the demand
for it., jumped the premium to 4c over
May then to &c, and finally held 1t at
&c over, but without business at the
last figure.
If Gates can stand the pressure and
take care Of the stuff that will be tend
cred him, he may win out, but he Is
now up against the proposition that
broke Letter in 1898. Gates repre-:
sents many millions and is fighting well
against odds.
| It is the most interesting situation in
wheat for years. The bulls have
confidence In Gates and predict that he
will yet run the market to $l.25. The
lbears predict a smash sooner or later,
to 90c for May wheat.
