The Northwestern Miller gives the . fol lowing resume of the week's business in the mills: : The operations en the platform are very similar to a week ago, the production of j flour ranging the lowest of any time on ' i 'aV s -rep. A new deal hits been made j the mills aboat running, tha pro- I ■ortion of c&paoity kept in operation be }S reduced from two-thirds. to one-half. ; \ #der this a«angenient the power of those *' mB ranD i kept steadier, enabling ; i more satisfactory work to be dooe. On ) last week's run, the water w&3 quite low Thursday and Friday, . improv ißg nomewhat on Saturday, m&k ing .a rather poor average fo the six days. The daily production amounted to 9,275 barrels, against 9,450 barrels the preceding week. This week was started off with an excellent head on Monday, followed by nearly as good Tues day, but a lower one on Wednesday and Thursday, and the prospects seem to be favorable to a heavier output of flour tb&n for tho last two weeks. Six mills with a total capacity of 6,500 barrels, are doing' no work at all, in most instances under going repairs. The flour market has un dergone no change, remaining fairly strong, with an undercurrent sentiment prevailing that an improvement will soon take plaoe.

The Proceedings of Last Night's Meetin the Board of Water Citnmisaioners—A Lively Miseusston — Mire Pumps to be Built—The East Bide Xunntl. At the regular meeting of the board of water commissioners held last evening, there were present his honor the mayor, commissioners Foote, Davis and Grim shaw, Superintendent Henion and Chief Engineer Waters. The minutes of last previous meeting were read and approved. The standing committee on claims re ported back the pay roll and bills for De cember, recommending that warrants for the amounts designated be drawn in favor of the proper persons, and the report was adopted. The committee asked for further time before reporting on the old Folsom claim, which was granted. The committee on construction reported respecting pump No. 5, giving the opinion that any further test of the pump is un necessary to establish its efficiency, and recommended that the board take imme diate steps towards building another pump of the same capacity and ' pattern and place it. in the East side pumping house. Tie ?omraistee. found that the pump is a great economy to the city, oostiag much less than any othtr style. The report was accompanied by testimonials from experts, who were a unit , lEa pnmpa unequivocally the best in. existonoe, ocon pying muoh less space than any other pnmp, and being capable of all that its claimed for it by the inventor. Commissioner Foote objected to the adoption of the report for the reason that there was a sentiment in the board that there should be a test made of the pumps by parties outside of the board. Mr. Foote stated that while he himself was satisfied with the test given there are tux payers who wi3ll such a test, and such a test should be given to the satisfaction of the tax papers. Commissioner Grimehaw explained as chairman of the committee making the report, that he had drawn np the report be cause he believed there should be some thing done in tha premises without delay. The report is the summing np of a week's work. It had already been agreed that tkere should be three of these pumps built. So far as tax payers are conoerned there will al ways be found OHBONIC OBUMBLEBS. They will grumble at every public im provement whioh shall cost any saat of m«ney. Commissioner Davis stated that he had been in favor to give a test by disinterest ed parties, but during the past week, after having ftivea the matter a thorough and searching investigation, he oould see bo reason why other pumps should not be made at once. He had not heard a tax payer find a word of faalt. Commissioner Foote took the loor ■gain to further oppose the adoption of tha report: Commissioner Davis has stated at previous meetings of the board that the wheel which drives "Jumbo" is not of sufficient power, and for that reasoa a test should, in the interests of right and to satisfy the taxpayers, be made at onoe. The chief engineer explained that if -during a test a main should burst or any accident should happen, there are people who would raise the hue and cry that fiere was something wrong with the pump. Commissioner GrimEhaw believed it en tirely unnecessary to go oat of the city to find expe'ta. Mayor Ames called Commissioner Grim shaw to the chair, to discuss the question. He wa3 thoroughly satisfied with the test which had been made a month and a hftlf previously, while hfc believed, with Commissioner Foote, that the wheel was not efficient, he believed the pump ig ample, and was pro-' pared to vote for two more pumps at the j present meeting. The discussion was continued at great length, and was participated in by every member present, when Commissioner Foote moved that the report be laid upon the tablo for another week, but the motion roceiviag no second the question of adopt iag the report was put. Commissioner Davis asked to be excased from voting in respect to Commissioner Brown, who was absent. The report was then adopted. TWO KOBB PUMPS. ! Com. Grimshaw moved that the engi neer be instructed to advertise for propo sals for the construction of two more new pumps, 10,000,000 gallons capacity. Engineer Waters stated that he should not suggest any material changes in the pumps, but should simplify it in some par ticulars. He would guarantee that tha oity would be indemnified from all charges for royalty. The motion was carried. The engineer smbmitted plans and spee lfications for the tunnel for the East Bide distriot, leading frpm tho pamping station to Main street, and the engineer was au thorized to advertise for proposals for building the same. The engineer reported : the work done by Youngren & Gleoson, and I stated that there is now dae the same $1,- i 094, and a warrant was ordered drawn for the amount. Adjourned. THE COURTS.

A Tonne Milwaukee CUrl Str*y« from Home autl Is Thomiikt to be In Bad Quarters In Chicago. [Special Telegram to the Globe.] Chicago, Jan. 3.—The detectives of this city are at present anxiously engaged in the -search for a young girl named Ida Ertner, aged sixteen, who has been miss ing from Milwaukee since Oct. 20, a tele gram having been received from the chief of police of that city to-day, saying that i she is supposed to be in a house of dis j repute on the south side. Ida is sai* to be [ the daughter of respectable parents, who had her attending school. She was a wil ful little miss, and as she had been talking of visiting some friends in another part of the state, nothing was thought of her dis&pi earance for a while. At i last, not receiving word from her after some weeks had passed, the parents became anxious and }. wrote letters to all their friends inquiring ab jut ■ her. They: were surprised to learn that she had not been seen. Driven to desperation and, fearing she had been killed or lost, they then in stituted search in Milwaukee, but without avail . and at last gave her up for lost. About two weeks sgo a young man from Mi lwaukee was visiting. Chicago and passed a young girl on Fourth avenue: who he thought resembled Ida Ertner, but as he did know she had left home, and as she was .well dressed in gaudy colors,:; he thought nothing further of it. Returning home he happened to speak of the ooour rence,when he was told she was missing. The story' was told the parents. Then it came out that the day before her disap pearance, while on her way to school, some of her classmates saw her talking with a flashily dressed woman in the street who was a stringer. It is now i thought the woman was a procuress, and j lured the girl from her home to lead a life of sin and shame. The detectives have not suooeeded in finding her yet, but are j confident she will be found.' She ie a small girl with rather light complexion, is a lit- ' tie fleshy and waddles some in her walk. ■■ _' Irish L,e»g«er«. ' * Chicago, Jan.

A swarm of new towns are boing drawn on paper by land speculators for the spring campaign. In some of the cold districts of Dakota marriage notices are printed under the head of "preparing for winter." A saloon keeper at Mitchell has been fined $500 for selling liquor to a man af ter being prohibited by his wife. The Jamestown papers stats that their prescience enables them to see a popula tion of 5,000 at that place next summer, besides 1,000 transient workmen..

Mandan had a hightoned New Year's ball, and the Pioneer said that one of the requirements would be that every gentle man should wear a coat, but there were no restrictions as to out.

He wa6 a pioneer in Wisconsin forty years ago, went to California in '49, and came to Montana eighteen years ago. It is twenty years Bince he has been on a railroad and thirty since he has seen his friends. When the census was taken is 1880 Foster county, one of the best in north Dakota, which now has Carrington and several other nice towns, had but twenty-nine soulp. The population is now several thousand. It has two railroads or branohes in operation and expects more ths coming season. Work at the gold diggings near Lisbon has been suspended for the winter and Mr. Griswofd haa gone to Chicago with his family to spend the winter. It was claimed that the later developments gave almost absolute assurance of the richness of the mines, and operations will be pushed in the spring. Quite a party from Ipswioh, in Edmunds county, lately started out to the Missouri on a big hunt, expecting trouble in getting in their loads of buffalo hides and game, but the second nigbt out the thermometer went down to 4 OOg below zero, and camp ing out in such weather was too maeh for them.

The building occupied by Magnnssen & Wilson as a general store, a hotel by Mr. Fraohen, and law office by Mr. Masterson, was completely burned. The loss on building $500; no insurance. The merchandise was insured $2,000 in the Continental andsl,ooo in <Btnz, The sudden and mysterious death of K. Bowles, a clerk in a hotel at Dickinson, caused quite a sensation there. He went to the train with a guest at 3 a. m., &ad was seen to jump from the platform of one of the coaches, and was afterwards found in a hole near by with his skull crushed. The inquest only reported that his death was the result of a blow or fall, and was not as searching as many thought it should be. Denny Hannifin, the noted character at Bismarck, who is said to have suggested some of Stanley Huntley's sketches of pioneer life, left this week for a visit to Washington and other points east, to be gone some time.

Mr. Gapehart will be the business di rector, and men of capital are pledged to its support. It is a secret who the editor in-chief will be. 0.;.;:: For so small a ' town as Breokenridge the fire on the Ist was a serious ■ disaster. Seven of the principal buildings includ ing the hotel, Phelps hall, Smith's store,the county offices, Cout's drug store and Har m! Bros. grocery store, make a large gap. Perhaps the most annoying feature was the loss of many- of the county \ records, the tax duplicates, records of the olerk of the court and a part of the register of deeds records. There is no fire : organiza tion there, and no water accessible. The aggregate loss has been placed at $75,000 with less than half that amount of insur ; ance. Some of the south Dakota papers are urging that the Republican, convention to appoint the two delegates to the Chicago convention, be called as early as' the last of February, and to be held in some looal ity of south Dakota., It happens, however, that the chairman, E. P. Wells, of James town, arid the secretary, ;A. W. Edwards, of Fargo, are both from the north, arid will be apt to call it and locate it where they see fit; As none of the railroads con nectiag the two sections are yet oomplet «d, the convention will be : almost entirely composed of delegates from the section it is located in. One of the delegates, how ever, will be from each section. ?■'-;'• Paragraphs like this rinth9 Yankton Press are no doubt inspired by high oifi oi&ls, arid have enough truth in ihem to indicate the complications into which ter ritorial affftire are drifling: > None 'of thel and* alleged to haT* been received from the eale of Bitmarok lots for the ', •bristtac tion of a capitol have been sent to the tar- 1 ritorial treasurer. : ; Deeds representing 1 1 ■- ':x!

Mr. Carlisle's Committees Conposedof3ll Members from Southern States and 175 frum Southern State*. New York World. ______ . A simple analysis of the construction of the standing committees of the house will set at re3t all the stupid charges of favor itism of the sou made for political pur poses against Mr. Carlisle. Everybody knows that the majority rules in the committed room as well as in the House. The Chairmanships of Ways and Means and Appropriations are impor tant, because the Chairman of the former Committee has a sort of political recogni tion as a leader, and the latter is accepted p.s authority on the important matters of appropriations. The two leading chair men are chosen because of their especial fitness and experience, and the positions accorded them are in recognition of their abilities. At the head of these Commit tees Mr. Carlisle hag placed Morrison, of Illinois,. and Band all, of Pennsylvania. The other Chairmanships are mainly oov e ted because they bring members who £11 them into prominence on the floor. But the Chairman is at all times subject to the will of a majority of his Committee. jj Seotionally the forty-three House Com mittees under Speaker Carlisle are divided as foliows:- Num- North- South ber of em era com- mem- zmem- Com: ittee< mittee, ken. here.

Com meroo and Agriculture, all important com mittees, had on them the same ntmber of Southern membera as are on the earn* Committees under Mr. Carlisle. The Ways and Means Committee had four Souther* representatives, while it now has five. What folly, then, to pretend that the Southern States have received any un<3?e recognition from Mr. Carlisle, or that me South has any greater influence or oontrel in legislation than the population and in terests of the section fairly entitle it to! The charge is made for mischief aad can only recoil on its authors. An*tk*r Te»ipor«nco Or usedo.

What They Had to Say for Them salves—Pathetically Humorous Pleas of the Prisoners. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] These moon.shine-rs have been accumulating »n the Covin^ton jail for three months, a buiali ptr cent, of the number too lazy to ■work bating given themselves up so as to secure free board and lodging for the winter. They will come out in the spring with the birds and flowers, and, fattened to plumpness by good government feed and want of exer cise, they will resume manufacturing the oil of joy, and again forget to pay the revenue tax. They were brought into court in squads of ten to receive sentence as their names were called. More or less attention had been paid to toilets, and soap had been used with an unstinted hand. Jeans in gray or butter nut was tho prevailing attire, with hats more or less dilapidated, and collarless cotton shirts. One lan tern- jawed young man with an eye for the startling in contrasts, had a full shock of hair, bright biuo jeans coat, yellow shirt and white canvas base ball shoes. Ages varied as much as did j>ersonal appearance, the years running from 19 to 65. Each man before receiving sentence was asked if he had anything to say, and there were but few that did not avail themselves of the opportunity. William Tuttle, aged, gray and bent, said with a quivering voice: "1 know, jedge, I dun dun it. I never was in jail befo'. I'm an ole man. an' will leave a helpless family. I dun don't know nuthin' 'bout law." Apart from his closing Hate ment there was a sincerity in what ho said, and a pathos in its delivery that created a just sympathy. He was given the lightest sentence imposed by law, thirty days impris onment and a tine of $100. If he hasn't the money he will have to work it out at the rato of 75 cents a day. One of the prisoners was a man who had been over-shrewd in his attempted evasion of the law. Being a seller and not a manu facturer, he would set a bottle or demijohn of the fluid on the mantel and walk out of the room. Returning ho would find the liquor gone and money in its place. Another man ap pealed for a light sentence, saying he was "Stifled," which meant subject to fits. David S. "Williams, dismissed beforo court wa3 over was asked, "Did you come voluntarily to the deputy marshal?" He replied with great candor, "No, sir; I was sent for." He had undergone a hard experience. Not very , guilty in the first place, the arresting officer felt warranted in merely telling him to come to town on a certain date. In tho interval his wife deserted home and went to live with an adjacent moonshiner, whose still within a few days thereafter was seized and destroyed. As one means of revenge the moonshiner be gan burning fences, and was one day threat ening a sister of tho prisoner, when tho latter came up, and making the charge of cow ardice, was promptly shot in the side. "Hit laid me up for seven weeks, jedge, an' that's why I didn't keep my 'pintment with th« revenue officer. Tho ball was '38.'" The prisoner was still wearing the same clothes in which he was shot, the holes made by the bullet through coat, vest and trousers waist band being still unmended. One poor wretch made an appeal for clem ency on account of his children, one a girl of 13 and the other a boy of 7. The man was a widower, and before leaving home ho had in duced some woman to go and live at the house to look after the little ones. Ho said, appealingly, "she promised to stay only till Christmas, an' then she'd go home." A cu riosity in the batch was a moonshiner dude. Somewhat effeminate in . appearance, his short, curly black hair was neatly parted in the centre, from either side of which, resting on his forehead, was a dainty little spiral lock. Next came Charles Sturgis, sall*w and sickly-looking, with boils breaking out all over him, the result of too much pork and other greasy dirt. James Nolan, with a ■ grave countenance told his h«nor that dnrtoig the prevalace of smallpox in the mowßfeaiitt some one said trhsekj was g*od for the dis ease, and as a protection to himself and for the convenience of f »i«?nds who' f eand c«n tagion he kept liquor in the b«ase fax ecu sumption and sale. Jean Brown followed So lan and woe sentenced to sixty days impris onment and 100 fine, ti»e convicting evidence having been given by bis brothers, George; and William. KTery H«n His Own Weather Pr*phr t For all meteoric or storm observations on large bodies of land in the temperate rone fix yourself with face looking toward the main sea or ocean. If the wind is blowing in your face at *he rate of only four to eight miles an hour rain is not apt to be present, as the atmosphere will likely be expanding and absorbing water and converting it into vapor and holding i suspended in the air until proper planetary phenomena transpire. If the wind is moving at tho rate of ton to fifteen miles en hour, it is probably passing to \ a rain, hail or snow-storm further inland, and | you will likely find the barometer falling. If it is moving at the rate of twenty to thirty miles an hour it is likely passing fur ther inland to a more violent rain, hail or snow precipitation. If it is moving at the rate of forty to sixty miles an hour, it is prob ably blowing further inland to a water.spout, hurricane or tornado, etc. When you find the wind turned around (about 180 degrees) aud blowing on your back the storm has passed you, and it is on its way back toward the sea, and you will bo apt to find the barometer rising and temperature falling. If the wind turns partially around (about ninety degrees) and blows on your right and off your left, the storm is then supposed to pass by your left on its way toward the sea. If the wind should turn the other way around (about ninety degrees) and blow on your left and off your right, then the storm is likely passing by the way of your right toward the sea. There is frequently a kind of a short lull in front of traveling storms. There are mild local rains caused by slow changing po sitions of the planets, etc. By noting these rules and watching the barometer the course and severity of storms may soon be tolerably well understood, even for great distances from the observer. A Justice Who Isn't So Slouch. An Arkangaw justice of the peace is said to have sent the following letter to Lord Coleridge: "I am mighty sorry that you ain't comin' to this state, for I did 'low to have a high ole time with you. I've got a son that can out-rastle the next man, and I ain't no slouch nuther, lemme tell yer. I've been a judge five years, and have whu'pped more men than a few.
