Gigantic Failure, A LOSss pt $250,000 in wheat during the last thirty days has led to the fail. - ure of E. 8. Corser, of Minneapolis, mltigfifiwas announced Monday. His Pho &€S are gtated at $1,000,000, ailure created the most intense excitement of any that has - oceurred in that city for years. Corser :iEsthe head of the real estate firm of - E. Corser & Co., one of the largest - in the Northwest, and Corser’s failure wiil cause theo suspension of the firm. It was wheat and not unfortunate real estate deals that caused Mr. Corser’s Buspension. The firm embraces besides Mr. Corser, Lester B. Elwcod, Walter E. Badger, and Austin B. Belknap. It is thought the assets will clear the in- * debtedness. L Mixed Trade Conditions. R. G. Dux & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: ’ i ® | Reports of the condition of trade are decidedly more satisfactory in most lines, especially in woolens, though trade in iron and steel is noticeably weaker. The holiday trade throughout the North was unusually large, and it waslively at some Southern ports, such as Knoxville, butonly fair at Memphis and Little Rock. In other districts production appears generally larger than usual for the season, particularly in dry goods, shoes, and furnitur: of the better grade. On the other hand, money markets are showing more s'gns of pressure. It is also worthy of note that collections are somewhat less satisfactory in the West. The striking feature of thé week is the great demand for woolen and cotton goods. All cotton machinery is employed to full capacity, but is behind the demand, and prices ‘are exceedingly firm, with a tendency to ‘advance. The result has been a decided dncrease in sales of wool, which recently declined, but are now larger than a year ago. In boots and shoes there also appears & very unusual demand for the season. The dirou trade has hecome decidedly weaker. For nearly all finished products tlie demand is” slack and lower. . Prices are made . wherever much business is done. Trade in copper drags. Tin is.weaker, but lead a | - shade stronger. Cattle receipts at the West are very large,:being for "the week 132,000 head, against 104.000 head last year and 92,000 head the year before. | : To Abolish the Divorce Colony. i MucH interest is manifested over the probable fate of the South Dakota divorce industry when the Legislature meets. There is a decided tendency, especially in religious cireles, toward a lengthening of the time for making a legal residence from ninety days to one NAx%gr’. Os course such a change would .abolish in South Dakota that institution known as “The Colony.” North Dakota requires but ninety days and Nebraska but six months, and the causes for diVorce are no more numerous, nor are the courts su,pposed to be more lenientin A.,BE flE ” iauthose States, co that the change would effectually and immediately destroy the divorce industry of the State. The attack on the law is led by the State W. C. T.U. The lawyers are, of course, generally opposed to any change. One lawyer said he had made $12,000 in the last year from this source alone. Wealthy Bachelor Found Dead. i HERMAN THIESSEN, a wcalthy bachelor living two miles west of Ellis, Neb., was found dead in his house. Several days ago Thiessen was last scen alive. He warned all whom ho met not to come near his place or he would shoot them. Although a sort of recluse no importance was given to his threats. His continued absenceo caused talk, and three men visited his place. Inside the house on the floor lay the body of Th'es--sen, one hand clutching a revolver having cne empty chamber. Itis the gene?'al belief that Thiessen took his own life. = A Servant Girl Captures a Burglar. ’© At Indianapolis, Ind., Anna Crouse, 2 domestic, seriously wounded a burglar with a butcher-knife. She had come in late with friends and finding evidences that the houso had been entered armed herself and found the burglar upstairs. ~ Shoe stabbed him three times. When " the handkerchief he wore as a mask was removed he proved to be Charles Jaycock, a cousin of the girl who had stubbed him. NEWS NUGGETS, A DISPATCH from San Antonio, Tex., announces the death of Hiram S. Liggett from consumption. EMMA GonLDMAN, the autonomist, of New York, is said to be at the héad of a movement to secure a commutation of sentence for Berkman, the anarchist, who shot H. C. Frick. How soME of the metropolitan dailies with no extraordinary news or literary merit attain such tremendous circulations is a mystery in the minds of some, but it is no mystery to the practical ~ newspaper man. In nearly all of these there mav be found page after page of gemall advertisements, and here lies the secret. The people want to read these small ads. Thousands of them buy the paper for nothing else. What's true of the grcat daily is equally true of the home weekly, except that the latter is scanned even more closely. Every advertisement is read and re-rrad manjy times, and often with profit to the reader. This paper contains a number o small advertisements, and nothing car be lost by reading them carefully. W. A. BrowN, son of J. A. Brown, : prominent business man of Chicago has been arrested in Vergennes, Vt. for forging a S4OO check on an Oak Hil (Il1.) bank. He attempted to pass the check at Middlebury.

men were subsequently found shot in although it is boliovodthey o kn-o“& f fate at the hands of some officers of the | - law. Both men were rather notorious characters. Walker was the man who was credited with having killed Hark | Lovett on Shell Creek last summer. | Lovett was a Texan and operated as| horse stealing in the Black Hills unfl | the country got too hot for him a!d then went to the Basin. Just how e | affair occurred nobody kuows. The men met in a very lonely part. of the Basin and Lovett was killed. Shack | and Albert Slicknard and another nan are credited with having shot and killed | the notorious Jack Bliss. Whether this is true or not they received a big reward for it. The Basin has always enjoyed a gbod reputation, and in all the recent trouble there has been no charge of cattle stealing prefemred against the people there. SOUTHERN. REV. S. H. BUCHANAN, Secretary and Treasurer of the State asylum at Litfle Rock, Ark., is short in his accounts $5,000, AN American syadicate, headed by James S.

AT Waverly, Tenn.,, Marcus White's three children were locked up in the house by their parents. The house burned down and the children pershed in the flames. Sxow has fallen throughout Texas, which means a great loss to the farmers, as there is a great deal of corn and cotton that has not been gathered and | is bound to rot in the fields.

Lynching is feared. THE bill putting the absolute contrel of all the railroads in the State into the hands of the Railroad Commission, from whose decision there shall be no appeal, was signed by Gov. Tillman, of South Carolina. A mass meeting of railroad employes was held in Columbia and a committee was appointed to wait upon the Governor in regard to the bill. After hearing their mission the Governor said: “The bill has already been signed and is now a law. The opposition of 8,000 or 10,000 railroad employes does not amount to a d—— coinpared with the 50,000 or 60,000 farmers demanding its passage ” The effect of this was rather inflammatory. A massmeeting of all railroad employes in the State has been called. WASHINGTON. SENATOR CARLISLE is said to have bheen tendered the Treasury portfolio in Cleveland’s Cabinet. THE committees of the House and| Senate on immigration failed to agree | upon one bill to be reported to both houses of Congress. After a long discussion it was informally agreed that the Senate ccmmittee should report the Chandler bill, stopping immigration absolutely for one year, and that the House committee would report a more conservative bill, giving greater power to the Government officials in watching immigration and giving the President authority to suspend immigration for any period he deems desirable at any time when he believes it necessary to preserve the] health of the country. The effort has been to have both committees agree on the same biil s» as to avoid any conflict between the two houses. It is not believed, however, that their failure to do so will jeopardize legislation on the subject. There is a very strong sentiment in both the House and Senate in favor \ of some sori of legislation which Willl put a stop to immigration whenever it l is necessary to jreserve the health of | the country, and the general opinion i I | that a law similar to the bill to be re- | ported to the House will be elmcted.‘ | That there will be some sort of legisla- | tion there is no doubt. : E “MR.

THE excitement over the Panama scandal is greater than ever before, and the wildest reports are afloat ~# monarchist plots and coming arrests in Paris. Itis rumored that, should the situation prove favorable, a coup d’etat on behalf of royalty will be attempted, and that the young Duke of Orleans will be selected to lead the attack. The loyalty of the army 1o t!xe rel‘)ul.)alic, however, is un-(

_questioned, and if such an attempt 15 made it will undoubtedly prove a failure. It is known that the officers of the navy are much more royalist in | theis tendency than those of the army, but no danger to the republic is expected from the navy, as it is believed that | the officers in command, however ardently some of them might welcome the re-establlshment of a monarchy, would hesitate long before risking the loss of their desirable positions. The movements of the monarchist agitators are being carefully watched by agents of the Government in France, in England, and in Spain, and a special watch | is being kept at the passes of the Pyr- ' enees, for fear that a Royalist movement might be attempted from that direction. It is said that every move-‘ ment of the Count of Paris, the Duke of Orleans, and other members of the exiled house has been reported accurately for more than two weeks to the Ministry of the Interior ard thence to President Carnot. e IN GENERAL ARCHBISHOP JANSSENS celebrated his | silver jubilee at New Orleans.

The majority of the court decides that the courts have authority to adjudge an apportionment act void if it violates the provisions of the constitution. Pansy for the National Flower.
