Some of the Bifir Flonr Mills to Shut
Down.
The Northwestern Miller reports the flour
output for the past week from Minneapolis as
follows:
Pec. 5. 307,225 bbls; Nov. 28, 320.930 bbis;
Dee. 5. 1895, 295.040 bbl'. The same number
of mills are going this week, but two of
6,000 bbls dally are likely toy*top before the
week ends, whiia next week others will prob
ably be down, owing to dull trade. Lake ship
ments were accepted up to Monday; the miller
takes his chances of the flour getting through,
and the policy has been to get in transit every
barrel possible that lake rites might apply
upon. The Minneapolis production will doubt
less be materially curtailed until after the
holidays, but this condition Is not urccmnion
at this time of year. Minneapolis sales not
quite touching 200.000 barrels. The export
trade was again very light, though Friday's
drop in wheat enabled some of the millers to
accept ofTers which were out from the other
side, before they could be withdrawn. A
few fairly good lots of patent were worked
under these conditions. Otherwise there was
nothing to foreign business, buyers b?ing
pretty much out of the market. Most mills
sold less than half their production, thduaft
there were isolated cases where a much b*H
ter showing was made, and this brought the
average up considerably. Where domestic
buyers have orders on the books of mills, de
clining wheat influences ihem to order the
flour out very slowly. In this way the millers
are left pretty short on shipping directions,
and they have to face the alternative of
either accumulating stocks or restricting
their output. With cash wheat 2V Z cents
cheaper, patent has been reduced about 15
cents per barrel. Millers are catching up
with orders on clear and low grade and have
lowered their quotations more or less In
making sales. Feed is a little lers unsealed
though not as much bran is being worked
for export, and millers are catching up on
orders. Flour exports were 56. 700 bbls, against
45.900 the week before, 93,900 in 1895, and 29,
--000 in 1894.
m:w sailixo riles.
Uniformity Between Those Ttto
Clnhs Secured.
The Minnetonka Yacht club met at the par
lors of the Commercial club last evening to
receive and act upon the report of the spe
cial meeting appointed to revise the sailing
regulations. For a number of years there
has been a decided difference in the rules
which have governed the Minnetonka club
and its principal rival, the White Bear club.
A committee, consisting of Commodore F.
B, bong, L. B. Newell, William Peet, L. R.
Brooks and F. J. Hopkins, was appointed to
act with a similar committee from the White
Bear club to agree upon rules which should
be adopted by both clubs. The changes are
largely technical, the principal one being the
adoption of a new measurement for the sail
length, using the lead-water line, plus the
square of the sail area divided by two. The
rule was fully explained by Mr. Hopkins, and
E. J. Phelps, who had come to the meeting
with the intention to oppose the report, moved
its adoption. The vote was 29 to 1 in favor
of adoption.
Little Four-Year-Old Missing-.
Nettie, the four-year-old daughter of Officer
Anthony Chouinard. living at 2919 Emerson
avenue north, strayed away or was taken
away from her home at about 3:30 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, and up to midnight had
not been found, despite the fact that diligent
search has been instituted from the time she
was missed. The child's parents were much
alarmed over her departure, as they were sure
that had she been found the matter would
have been reported. They are loath to be
lieve foul play has befallen her. and hope
that their missing child may turn up in
safety today.
Attacked the Teachers.
The nisht school pupils at the Blame build
ing. Twelfth avenue north and Third street,
attacked the teachers Tuesday night in a
brutal manner. The trouble arose over the
punishment by Albert E. Moore of one of
his boy pupils. When the teachers came out
of the building after school hours, they
found about seventy-five husky boys lined up
on each side of the walk. Tho young hoodlums
began to throw missies at the teachers,
Moore seeming to be the center of the fire.
He was quite badly cut on the lip. The guilty
parties will be expelled.

VISITORS.
THREE HOLIDAY OPENINGS.
Boutelle Brothers, S. E Olsea A-
Co. and the New England
Furniture Company.
The executive committee having in
charge the arrangements for the en-
I tertainment of the Grand Lodge of
| Elks, to be held in Minneapolis next
I July, is beginning to realize the im-
I mensity of its contract. The members
; have come to believe that the hotel ac
i commodations of Minneapolis will not
j be sufficient to take care of all the
: visitors who will assemble here during
i the week of the grand lodge session.
: Special arrangements have therefore
! been made with the managers of the
[ big summer hoteds at Minnetonka, and
; it is thought that these, with the St.
| Paul accommodations, will be sufficient.
j The Elks will require more first class
j hotel space than any body of a similar
! size that could be brought together in
i this city.
The local committee is already over
] whelmed with letters containing sug
| gestions as to entertainment, etc., but
! as yet it Is too early to decide definite
ly. However, there has been decided
upon a carnival day and night at Lake
Minnetonka. There will be a complete
tour of the lake during the day, and
in the evening. every craft in the big
fleet, of which the lake can boast, will
be chartered for the exclusive use of
the Elks and their ladies. Then there
will be fireworks at various points on
the lake, and special receptions and
hops in honor of the visitors will be
given at all the hotels.
One night will also be devoted to a
special entertainment prepared by the
street railway company at Lake Har
riet.
As yet the correspondence in r^ard
to rates has been rather vague, foi> the
passenger association, of course, never
commit themselves until they are oblig
ed to. It is given out on good author
ity, however, that nothing less favor
able than half rates will be secured.
Already, many lodges are writing the
local committee for particulars as to
hotels and entertainments, and some
of them have ordered the committee
to engage bands for them during their
entire stay. The Kalamazooo lodge
will make its usual remarkable exhibi
tion of celery, and the Oregon and
California lodges have written for va
cant space in which to exhibit some
of the remarkable features of the pro
ducts of their country.
Hundreds of* letters have been re
ceived by C. M. Foote, chairman of
the local committee, from lodges all
over the country, in reply to circular
letters recently sent out by him.
IN PINE AND HOLLY.
Boutelle Brothers' Store Handsome
ly Decorated at the Opening-.
Through a network of pine festoons and a
tracery of holly branches on plate glass win
dows, the 'interior of Bouteli Bros.' store
presented a picture la',t evening which first
attracted, then held the admiration of the
thousands of pleasure seekers who were
abroad. The annual holiday opening of the
great furniture establishment at the corner
of First avenue and Fifth street proved an
artistic enjoyment to those who availed them
selves of the entertainment offered. The re
arrangement of the -floor space afforded a
long promenade at right angles from the
corner entrance across the store and back
to 'he elevator, thence up the s. airway and
through the other stories. The show win
dows were edged with holly branches, and I
the red berries nestling amid the glossy
leaves extended a holiday greeting which
was not mistaken. The effect of green ob
tained with pine, with branching palms, with
holly, was in contrast to the richer colors
of silks in tapestry, upholstery, drapery and
the etceteras which make the sum total of
housefurnishings. The air was flooded with
music, and through the evening the military
band from Fort Snelling played a programme
of popular airs. The very effective decora
tions were continued through the several
floors, and Messrs. Bouteli were the recip
ients of many congratulatory words for their
artistic effort The most conspicuous result
was the excellent showing of their furn'
ture stock. The opening was a feast for the
eye and the ear, the most practical features
of the opening will be in evidence as the holi
day season advances.
FERXS AXD FURNITI RE
Formed a Beautiful Picture at the
New England Opening.
At the New England Furniture and Carpet
company opening last night a throng crowd
ed itself and waited with as much patience as
a man waits for election returns the drawing
of the bolts that was to let them view" the
various articles within. From the Fifth
street entrance came the largest crowd, but
Sixth street was not far behind, and there
also several hundred gained admittance.
The store throughout was beautifully dec
orated with ferns and evergreens, which were
hardly necessary, however, as the beautiful
articles of furniture and household effects
were in themselves sufficient ornamentation
for any place. Every aisle in the store was
crowded from the time the doors were thrown
open until they were closed, and it was hard '
indeed, for one to get about. Young men and
their sweethearts gazed with longing eyes
upon the -housefurnishings which were every
where, and realized once more what stood
J between them and the consummation of their
fondest hopes. Women who had purchased
furniture for their homes before the young
man and his sweetheart ever had a thought
along that line gazed with more critical eyes
upon the various articles.
Near the Fifth street entrance were the
toys that Santa Claus had sent to gladden
the heart of the little ones, and they were
by no means the least attractive of the many
i beautiful displays. Midway between the
Fifth and Sixth street entrance were the car
pets and rugs, and here upon a platform
erected for the purpose, the First Regiment
orchestra filled the store with strains of
music from the opening to the ciose. On the
Sixth street side of the store and on the sec
ond floor was the furniture. Here everything
in that line that one could wish for was to
be seen, from that which those In the humb
lest circumstances could afford to those ar
ticles which adorn only the homes of those
most favored with the riches of this world.
It was the most successful opening in the
history of the New England.
VERITABLE FAIRY LAND.
Beautiful Christmas Goods and Ex
quisite Music at Olson's
The crowds that hugged the corner of Fifth
street and First avenue last evening sig
nified some unusual event, and there could
be nothing more effective in drawing out
such a crowd than the holiday opening and
display of the S. E. Olson company depart
ment store. From the moment of entrance
the person who found himself one of that
great number who "was at the opening "
was attracted by the glitter and glow of
color, the effect of decoration which was ex
pressed on every side. There was nothing
sombre, heavy, cumbersome; everything was
light, airy, fantastic and no part of the
house was uninvaded by the air of festivity
that enveloped the establishment. In the
hands of Mr. Olson's decorators the Interior
of the store in all its departments had been
made to blossom in a thousand variegated
hues. There was a feast of color for the
eye which came with the use of decorative
features pure and simple, and with the em
ployment of the wares with which the shelves
and counters are heavily stocked.
The central point of interest in the build
ing was the light well, a point of vantage
for the head decorator. He had converted
it into a grotto of fairyland in effect, fanci
ful in design, airy in construction, bright In
color. The space was hung with pinks, blues
and whites, and strewn with garlands and
wreaths of rosea, a veritable shower of.
bloom that clung to the sides of the court
and distributed their color effectively. Hun
dreds of vari-hued electric light bulbs were
placed in the well, edging the fanciful paper
machler supports which built up the sup
ports and enhanced the effect. In the cen
ter of the well the Danz band occupied an
elevated platform and for two hours de
lighted the multitude that crowded every
floor. Another band, statiorted at a remote
part of the ground floor, alternated with the
central band in playing familiar airs, and
the crowd was In a continual state of good
nature over Its entertainment.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGIE.
Resolutions by Cnrhart of South
Dakota Adopted.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.— Rev. Thomas J.
Wheat, of Illinois, offered a prayer at
the opening of the second day's ses
sion of the American Anti-Saloon league.
Rev. Dr. Carhart, of South Dakota,
from the resolutions committee, offered
a series of resolutions bearing on the
work of the league, most of which were
adopted. They include the following: The
appointment of a special committee to act
as a bureau of information and to circulate
facts and information as to methods and prac
tical work that will be most likely to advance
the cause of saloon suppression; a committee
to secure funds for the prosecution of the
work and to. secure the co-operation of all
organizations having similar objects in view.
At the afternoon session the present officers
were re-elected for the ensuing year, with
the exception of the treasurer, for which posi
tion Henry B. Metcalf, of Providence. R. 1.,
was chosen, in place of W. Walsh, of Boston,
who declined a re-election. A board of di
rectors consisting of delegates from all over
the country was also elected, after which the
league adjourned.

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy in the World, Ex
cept a Surgical Operation, Tliuli
Will Certainly Cure Any Form of
Piles.
The study of physicians, the experi
ments of chemists, the loudly adver
tised pretensions of quacjks, have been
for years expended in.' one direction;
to find a pile cure that would cure.
The results have been ft number of
harmless and in most cmses useless
ointments, suppositories, alid even in
ternal remedies, which the? public have
weighed in the balance trf experience
and found wanting; nearly all of. them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one which will
immediately stop the pain so severe
in many cases of piles, -ami then by
contracting the small blood vessels
(capillaries) to their normal size, pro
duces a radical cure by reducing and
finally absorbing the tumors and heal
ing the inflamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago, no such remedy
had been produced, but at 'that time a
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven itself to
be the long sought pertr.anent cure
for this common and distressing
trouble; it has rapidly become famous :
throughout the United-. '^States and I
Canada, and is now soHl by nearly all '■
druggists under the name of the Pyra
mid Pile Cure.
It is now the best known, because |
its merit and safety have advertised j
it wherever used. It has been adver
tlsed by word of mouth, from one suf- j
ferer to another; people who had tried
everything else, even submitting to i
painful and dangerous surgical oper- j
ations without avail have finally found ,
that piles may be cured without pain ;
and without expense, practically, as j
the Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the |
nominal price of 50 cents and $1 per !
package.
The Pyramid instantly stops all pain
and at the same time contain no co- |
came, morphine or narcotics; the acids I
and healing properties contained in the i
remedy speedily remove, cause a '■■
healthful, natural contraction and ab- \
sorption of the tumors; it will cure any j
form of rectal trouble except cancer j
and advanced fistula, which, by the i
way, nearly always result from neg- j
lecting proper and timely treatment for
piles.
As above stated, can furnish you with I
the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for
ordinary size or $1 for large package.

Ample Protection for the Armenians
Provided In the Scope of the
Plan.
LONDON, Dec. 9.— The Birmingham
Post today confirms the repeated state
ments on the same subject cabled to
the Associated Press during the past
two months, in saying that it learns
! from a high quarter that an under
| standing has been arrived at between
Great Britain, Russia and France for
the settlement of the so-called Eastern
question, which has for generations
been troubling statesmen of Europe.
The Post adds that the Russian Black
sea fleets and the British and
French Meditarranean fleets will
shortly .be mobilized In con
tiguity to the Bosphorous and the
Dardanelles, in order to enforce, If
j necessary, the reforms which the em
bassies of the three powers are about
j to present to the sultan, and to which
the other signers of the Berlin treaty-
Germany, Austria and Italy— have con
sented. To this end, it is asserted, the
allied fleets may force the passage of
the straits of the Dardanelles.
On Sept. 25, while the czar was at
Balrrforal, as cabled to the Associated
Press at the time, the Manchester
Guardian made a similar statement,
also alleging that the co-operation of
France had been purchased by a pro
vision regarding Egypt, and adding
that the scheme foreshadowed the neu
tralization of both Egypt and Turkey,
under an international guarantee with
their rulers under international tute
late.
Dispatches from Constantinople, un
der date of Oct. 1. seemed to confirm
the story, and a dispatch to the Asso
ciated Press, from London, Oct. 2, said
that the Vienna correspondent of the
Daily Mail, telegraphed his paper as
follows:
''The powers have agreed upon a
pacific settlement of the Eastern ques
tion, honorable to all parties and amply
guaranteeing the security of the Ar
menians."
"ARMENIAN ZONE."
The same correspondent on October
5, as then cabled to the Associated
Press papers wired from Vienna de
claring that the agreement of the pow
ers for he settlement of the Turkish
problem, which "he had the good au
thority for publishing includes the for
mation of an Armenian zone in the
Turkish empire, on the basis of the
Jewish pale in Russia, the powers
guaranteeing the safety of the Armen
ians therein with the idea that the
zone would be the germ of a new Ar
menian state.
The Mail correspondent added "the
active operations will be undertaken
by England, France and Russia, while
Italy will co-operate if necessary."
On October 8, a dispatch from Paris
to the Associated Press said that it
was announced there that France, Rus
sia and Great Britain had arrived at
! an entente in regard to Turkey, and
i that it was expected that these powers .
I would immediately dispatch to tho"
j pcrte a vigorous note demanding tho
adoption of reforms which secure the
i safety of Armenians in the Turkish
i empire.
The Daily News of London, on Oc.
'■ tober 21, published a dispatch from
; Paris, saying it was stated there that
! through the efforts of the "czar as an
1 intermediary, an agreement had been
I reached between the Russian, French
i and Brit'sh governments for the set
! tk-ment of the troubles in Turkey, add ■
! ing thai should the plan of settlement
i decided upon be unopposed by the two
| member's of the drelbund, the third
member will be obliged to accept it.
Other developments were cabled from
| time to time. Finally, on Dec. 3 (this
! and all the other developments having
| been cabled to the Associated Press on
! the several dates given), the Daily

BIMETALLISM THE REMEDY
Proposed to the Farmers by the
French Premier.
PARIS, Dec. 9.— The agricultural bud
get was discussed in the chamber of
deputies today. The premier, M. Me
line. admitted that the farmers were
suffering from the continual fall in
prices and that the import duties had
partly lost their efficacy, owing to the
fall in value in foreign coin and the
fall in exchanges. The remedy, he ex
plained, was in bimetallism, but, he
added, the question needed interna
tional settlement. The government, he
further stated. Intended to study the
effects of speculation in wheat and
farmers' insurance.
Continuing, the premier suggested
that a system of export bounties was
dangerous and might bring reprisals.
The government, however, would con
sider the proposition. In conclusion, M.
Meline said that one of the greatest
services which could be rendered to
French husbandry, would be to re
lieve it from land taxation.
The Abbe Lemire called the govern
ment's attention to the increase in the
exports of pork from the United States,
and M. Meline, in reply, said that the
imports of pork and salt meats had de
creased from 17,000,000 to 12,000,000
francs. Therefore, the premier pointed
out, foreign imports had not caused the
fall in prices, which, he explained, was
due to increased home production.

Victimizing: the Granger.
KEN YON, Minn., Dec. 9.— R. A. Rordin and
G. D. Loffler were arrested yesterday for
practicing medicine without a license on com
plaint of Dr. J. A. Gates. It has been the
policy of these wou'.d-be-physicians to work
entirely among the farmers. They would, at
tempt to cure all diseases of whatever stage,
and hold out encouragement for an absolute
cure, and took the farmers' notes as payment
to be returned if not cured, whereupon they
would dispose of the notes at the nearest
bank and not bother the farmer any more
They have done most of their work in Steele
Dodge. Rice and Goodhue counties. It is
estimated that several thousand dollars have
been thus taken from the farmers.
