Hugh McEwan returned this week a three months sojourn dn | Winona, Minn., whither he had gone on matters connected with the adjust- | ment of the estate of the late Arthur Putney. Mr. McEwan returned via while in that ty had an .experience which was anything but pleasant for him, 1t seems that Hughie had a draft on the Hanpver National Bank of New ‘ York for $800, issued to V. Simpson by the Merchants Bank of Winona and by him transferred paya to the order of Mr. McEwan. Desiring to have his draft cashed and being a stranger in Appleton, he approached the clerk of the Hotel Ritger and ex- plained his wants to him. The clerk was courteous beyond expression and A not only endorsed the draft) himself butalso had the proprietor put his authograph thereon. Upon present- ing the draft at the Ist National Bank Hughie was promptly paid $300. Some two heurs later Hughie w: confronted by a man whom he had never seen before, who accused him of being a forger, thief and what-no& The irritated gentleman proyed to be Landlord Ritger who had eudorsed the draft, who bad awakened. to the tact that he had committed a foolish act in endorsing a stranger's draft Mr. McEwan told the excited gentle” man that he would deposit the money in the Citizen's National Bank, which institution could by telegraphic con municazion secure authorization wo honor the draft: without identifica tion. This Mr. Ritger refused to accede to, and had the sheriff. who had been called in, escort Hughie to the Ist National Bank where he wags compelled to hand over the money, and after the endorsers’ pames had been erased the draft.was hauded to Hughie and he was graciously allowed to depart. The draft was by the act of the bank officials made worth= less, and Hughie had to returo it to the maker and secure the money by telegraphic sources. Of course Mr. McEwan w “hot in the collar?— he’s [rish, you know—and his opinion of the fellows who carried matters with sucha high hand and uncour- teous manner is very emphatic but not eligible to print. Anent the un- fortunate affair the Appleton Daily Crescent says: “The stoppage of payment on the draft. payable to Hugh McEwan, of Grand Rapids, Minn., proves to have been a mistake. The draft was good; Mr. McEwan was its ligitimate pos- sessor, and it paid this morning through the Citizen’s National Bank. j The whole affair was an” unfortunate misunderstanding. When Mr. Me- Ewan was taken before the officials of another bank he was naturally in nant, and for this reason his replies to leading questions were not alto- gether satisfactury to the officials or to Mr. Ritger who endorsed the draft, and their action in insisting upon the refunding of the money followed asaresult. The conduct of Mr. Me- Ewan, however, was consistent in that he moved his quarters to another hotel and placed the draft in the Citizen’s National bank fur collection. It was forwarded by mail to Mr. V. Simpson, the drawer, a real estate agent of Winona, Minn., and this morving advice was received frum him by letter and by telegraph that the draft was legitimate, given by him to Mr. McEwan, and on this showing the payment was made. “In the meantime Mr. McEwan had shown that he wes here on the matter of the settlement of the estate of a well known former Appletonian, and had been fully identified by parties interested in said estate, and the pay- ment of the draft was assured even without the evidence of its maker in Winona. “The whole affair wat an unfortu- ngte misunderstanding, and whatever suspicious circumstances developed in the examination of Mr. McEwan by the local endorser of the draft and the bank officials were due to Mr. | MeEwan’s natural indignation which prevented him answering some ques- tions as frankly as he might have. “Mr. McEwan threatens subsequent legal proceedings against parties who caused him the annoyance, but aside from this and ip justice to him It is due to record that the draft was good; Mr. McEwan was its ligitimate pos- sessor, and it has been paid through the Citizen’s National Bank. Mr. Mc- Ewan is~still at the Sherman house, and will be here on business for an in- defi nite time.” Will and R. R. Bell returned from Roseau tcday. : AN UNPLEASANT EX PERIENCE, | Increasing Value of Pine Stumpage Tuesday of last week the state au- ditor auctioned off a considerable amount of timber. on state lands. This timber is so located that it is likely at any time to be destroyed by tire and as the state wished to realize on it the lumbermen were given a chance to bid. The sale was well at- tended und the bidding for some of the choice pieces was quite live'y. The lands had been listed a long enough time before so that the lum- bermen who were at the sale were familiar with the value of every piece on which they bid. As the limber was sold in small lots, no more than a single section being offered at one time, it can be taken for granted that the purchasers did not offer more for any one piece than they knew it to be worth. In asale of that character there is some com- petition for a few pieces of timber, but for the most part the bidding on any one piece did not bring outa contest for the reason that each piece is probably mo ussible by some one operator than by any other and the others do vot bid against him. Hence the prices paid are probably fairly representative of the timber market. = In the present. sale the highest price per thousand paid for any of the timber was $8.70. In last year’s sale ope whole section was sold at the rate of $9 per thousand, but the aver- age price per thousand paid at the sale this year was about whereas the ‘average for last ye; le was but Probably the quality of the timber was about the same last year as this, so there is an advance of forty-three cents or nearly eight per cent during the year. It is thus fair to say that the holder of timber can add eight per cent tot chedule of assets over what he rated himself at last year. That is pretty good in- terest for these times.

Bowan Missing. Osear Cederstrom, who returned a few days ago from the Dakota harvest flelds, brings with hima tale which has made Mr. and Mrs. ‘Thomas Bow- en, of Fitieth avenue, apprehensive as to the whereabouts of their son, John, who left herein company with Cederstrom and another man. They departed about the widdle of Septem- ber for the Dakotas. Bowen, it is stated, was suddenly taken ill and by the time the train reached Swan River he was 1n a de- liium. His companions quieted him the best they eould, but at Grand Rapids they say he grew worse, and when the train stopped they put bim in charge of an officer who said he would have him examined by a physi- cian. After waiting there a few hours Cederstrom and the other fel-} low continued their journey to the harvest fields. Tlowever, upon reach- ing their destination. they wrote a letter to Juveland, the Grand avenue saloon keeper with whom they were acquainted, The latter told Edward Bowen, a brother of John, but the former did not notify his parents. They knew nothing, consequently, until Cederstrom returned here, Since that time nothing has been heard of the young man. Mr. Bowea wrote the Grand Rapids authorities, who replied that they knew of no such person as ‘Jolin Bowen or the circumstance. It may have been that Cederstrom got the wrong name of the town. Mr. and Mrs. Bowen are greatly worried over their son’s silence, and itis feared that he may be dead.— Duluth News Tribune.

Atawell atttended mecting of the above order Friday evening last, plans were made for an active cam- paign with the end in view of in- creasing the membership at the local council. The present membership includes some of the best people of! Grand Rapids. It is a fact that it] is very much to the order’s credit in every city or village where the order has local councils the most repre-| sentative people are enrolled as members, and this membership is secured by the merit that is found! in the plans of insurance, the prin- cipals of the order and its instruct- ive and interesting work, At the meeting last Friday night it was decided to secure the service of Deputy Orgunizor J. W. Marvin, who has been here lovking up matters pertaining to the order, Mr. Marvin has the assurance that during the time he is here the mem. bership will be increased to one hundred active members. A supper wi.l be served at the next regular meeting, when a large class will be initiated. On Saturday evening last Mr Harry Huson and Miss Emma Paul- son were united in marriage at the! home of the groom’s parents oa Third street.

County Attorney Boardman se cured the return of the ducks he shot several days ago at the north- ern hunting grounds, which were seized by the game wardens and held because Mr. Boardman was noysitting on the package that con- tained them when they came in town, ‘ Mr. Boardman delegated Al J. Smith to go over to St. Paul and make the proper demand upon Agent Fullerton, and the two had quite an interview. Mr. Fullerton wanted to argue the matter of the way in which Mr. Boardman had treated his warden, and it looked as H if the whole affair would be a batt’e j of words. “Well. letv’s not argue,” said Mr. Smith. ‘Iam here alter Mr. Board- man’s game. Now, if you can show me anything 1 the law that gives you any au bo-ity for seizing or holding this game, trot it out. If you have any such a thing I will go back to Minneapolis like a good litle boy. If you have not, you will trot out that game or there will be the merriest time abont the place where you happen to occupy atmosphere in about six minutes, that you ever saw. Legally of course.” Nothing could be shown in the law authorizing the seizure, so to- day many of Mr. Boardman’s friends will enjoy ducks. They came nicely wrapped up in many windings of paper, and wound with a legal red tape, looking like new:y prepared mummics,—Pioner Press, When to Use ‘Shall’? and “Wilt” “At what time shall you be at liberty?” is the correct form when you “desire information, not consent or a promise.’? “At what time will you beat liberty?” is equivalent to “At what time are you willing to be at liberty?” It implies that being at liberty is dependent on the will of the person spoken to. ‘At what time shall yeu be at liherty?” is equivalent to “At what time are you going to be ay liberty?"—being ab liberty is regarded as simply a mat- ter of the future, not dependent on on the willof anybody. ‘Will you?” expects the answer “I will;’ it de- notes willingness, consent, or deter- mination. “Shall you?” expects the answer “I shall,’ it denotes futurity and nothing’ more.—Elizabeth A. Whitney, in the November Ladies’ Wonie Journal. X
