The Stillinun Block.
Special to the Globe.
Washington, June 10.— The controversy
in Minneapolis over the lease of tho StOlmau
block for a postoffice is reflecting itself in
Washington through numerous petitious and
remonstrances received dally by Lougress
man Gilnllau. The postmaster general ap
proved the lease with Mr. Stillmuu tor h s
building:, during the recent vis.t 01 t.Ol.
Glenn, Or. Ames, Mr. Kelly and Mr. Doran.
The lease runs for live years, but has a saving
olause bywhich the postmaster general, upon
thirty days' notice, may cancel it and provide
for other quarters. If n majority ol tho peo
ple who >:ct their uiail at the Minneapolis
postoffice unite in asking for a change, it will
unquestionably be made. Mr. GilfiUan said
to-day that he would present tho matter to
the attention of the postmaster general, nud
transfer to him all of tho petitions and re
monstrances that come into his hand. From
all that is said in regard to the Stillman build
ing, Mr. GilfUlan judges that a large number
of the people are dissatisfied. They claim
that the buildiug has insutlicient light, being
lighted only from the rear and front and not
from the side*, and that the basement, which
was represented to the postmaster general as
being a healthy, lighted, available apart
ment, is a very shallow, damp and unhealth
ful place. For" these reasons there seems to
be ample cause for a reconsideration of tho
representations which led to the selection of
the Stillmun building.
A TFUUIUI.I-: TIJIBLF.
An Inknouii Man Leapt* from tlic
Milwaukee Short Live Bridge
The report that two men had leaped from
the Milwaukee short lino bridge created con
siderable excitement in South Minneapolis
yesterday morning. Until confirmed by
several train men aud others, the story was
regarded as a canard, but upon its confirma
tion a posse turned out and thoroughly
scoured tue banks for tracks of the men, but
without success. It seems two men were
upon the bridge near the west end, when the
IU o'clock train from Minneapolis approached.
The men separated, 0110 running towards the
center and the other towards the right bank
i of the river. The latter leaped, first striking
among the shrubbery that fringes iho bank
. and rolling to the bottom. He was seen to
rise and run, but all trace of him was then
" lost. The other man ran until
the center of tho bridge was
reached, when suddenly he sprang iuto the
air. descending like a shot to ttio seething
waters below. Presently be emerged from
beneath the surface, and after some prelim
inary motions as though to satisfy himself he
was all there,struckout;for a. floating loguear
Dy. The last seen of him he had grasped the
lou' and was being serenely borne along by
the swift current around th'«bend and out of
sight. The singular part *'.ie affair is that
no one knows or has the slightest clue to the
identity of the man, nor has anything since
transpired. OtDcials at St. Paul were notified
and kept a lookout, but seeing nothing the
conclusion is the man either got ashore or
was stranded on one of the numerous bars.
The distance from the bridge to the water Is
nearly 150 feet, and how it could be passed
by a man and life still remain, is almost in
credible.
nlll. THE BRIDGES GO 1
The St. LonU liailway Backward,
but the TCanitobu. 411 Ready.
The nuisance of the Manitoba railway
crossings at Washington avenue, Third.
Fourth and Fifth streets has been a crying
evil for lo these many years. The question
of bridging the tracks has been agitated
meanwhile, but to date, to no purpose. Now,
however, there is reason to belie% that the
bridges needed will soon be erected. The
council committee on railroads held a meet
ing yesterday afternoon, at which the princi
pal magnates of the Manitoba railway were
present. Among them were J. J. Hill, A.
Manvel and Col. li. C. Benton. President
Hill presented a diagram of a proposed set
of bridges at Washington avenue. Third,
Fourth and Fifth streets. He furthermore
proposed to put all yards and freight houses
above Washington avenue, and to lower ttie
tracks of the company as follows:
At Washington avenue, yard tracts 5 foci and
main tracks 12 feet; tit Third street, yard tracks C
feet and main tracks 12 feet; at Fourth street
same as at Tliird .street: at Fifth street, yard
tracks 5 feet and main tracks 10 feet.
Mr. Hill remarked that if any one expected
his company to build structures for any other
company, they would fall short of their ex
pectation. This was iv reply to an intima
tion that the Minneapolis & St. Louis people
had made no proposition to bridge. Col. Ben
ton said that the fact that easy access to the
freight houses must be preserved should bo
accorded at once by tho city. In order' to
do tins,. the bridges, he claimed, cannot be
built the full width of the street. It was pro
posed by the diagrams shown to build a
bridge at Washington avenue sixty feet wide.
This will lack forty-two feet of filling the en
tire street. At Fourth, Fifth aud Sixth
• streets, it was proposed to build bridges with
twenty-four-foot roadways and an eight-foot
sidewalk ou either side. At Washington ave
nue only the main tracks of the Manitoba
Kailway company pass, and the St. Louis
tracks.
THE COURT DECISION.
The conference between the committee and
the railway company was hastened by a re
cent decision in tbe courts, to the effect that,
if decided that the bridges were needed,
the city should submit . plans . and
incase the plans were feasible the court
would order the railway companies to build
them and entirely at their own expense. The
city, it may be interesting to know, at first
offered to build and maintain all approaches,
but according to the ruling of the court it is
not necessary. At yesteraay's meeting, T.
F.Andrews, largely interested in adjacent
property, suggested that the railway compa
nies build the bridges the full width of the
roadway, and that the alley be widened, giv
ing them a good approach to the freight
houses. This was stoutly objected to by Mr.
Hill, Mr. Benton and Mr. Manvel. Mr. Hill
advanced the theory that a sixty-foot bridge
on Washington avenue would carry all the
people necessary. Engineer Uinker suggested
that according to his interpretation of the
plans Third street would be completely
blocked. This aroused Aid. Pratt's opposi
tion, and Aid. Morse stated that the traffic of
Third street demanded a good bridge. Vice-
President Truesdale of the Minneapolis & St.
Louis Railway company, who was also pres
ent, had no plan or proposition to submit.
His company had notdecide to build bridges.
Aid. Morse proposed, therefore, that another
• meeting be held in two weeks for the purpose
of deciding upon the matter, and the meeting
adjourned.
WISHED SHE WERE A MA IV.
A Female Cowboy Arrested by- Capt.
Bos world Yesterday.
Annie Liudstrom is a Swede girl about 20
years of age who was arrested yesterday by
Capt. Bosworth for playing cowboy in male
. attire. She is a buxom and comely Swede
born on the mother soil, where her parents
now live. She was found by the cautain out
east of Iscw Boston herding cows. At
police headquarters she told her story, which
runs about as follows: She came to tiiis
country about six years ago, and has worked
hard for various people. About four years
ago she became acquaiuted with Palsquist, a
dairyman four miles up the river on the East
side, and a few oionths ago she hired out to
him to herd cattle and milk the cows. Her
dress was cumbersome aud she threw it aside
for a plain, coarse suit of jeans. This was
done with the knowledge and consent of the
dairyman and his wife, but the girl alleges
that she is innocent of any knowledge of
wrong-doing. She says she sleeps in the barn
alone and devotes her entire time to attend
ing to the cows, lor which she receives $10 a
month.

PREVARICATOR AND POET. ,
Bill >ye and James Kiley at tlic
Vrand — Press Club Reception.
Bill Nye, tho long-legged, bald-headed hu
morist, and James Whitcomb Riley, the
Hoosier dialect poet and sweet singer of ' In
dianapolis, entertained in their peculiar and
interesting way a good audi
ence at the Grand last even
ing. "Wo are the liar and
poet," Nye explained, "and
it is only proper to add Mr.
Kiley is the poet." As a
personal matter ho ex
plained, also, that the story
iv circulation which matri
monially connected him and
Lydia Pinkham might be
true, but if the match was
broken off it was not his
fault. In his dry, smileless
style, while his bald head
glistened and his broadcloth
wrinkled, he went on with
his funny business, telling
= how he had experimented
"with first a band and second
a pugilist as a lecture ac-
film
Wm
nye. compuuiment, and how both
failed. Tho hits were not lost on the
audience, as the rapid applause showed.
After a ten-minutes talk he gave way for
Riley, who recited one of his famous pooms in
Indiana dialect, "Squire. Hawkins' Story," ad
mirably rendered, commingling the humorous
RIIiEV.
and the pathetic in effective
style. The poet's face is ex
actly adapted to the dialect,
which flowed in easy natui-al
ness. No better idea of him
could be obtained than from
the accompanying cut, and
the same may be said of Nye.
The latter followed with a
dissertation on tho cyclone,
drawn largely from exper
ience, and then gave place to
Kiley, with a poem, "Dot
Leetle Boy of Mine," in Ger
man dialect. For an hour
and a half wit and poetry al
ternated, Nye giving the
"Casual Cow" and "Kepri
manding a Boy," and Kiley
reciting "Peanut" and "Lit
tle Orphan Annie." It -was,
in its entirety, a unique and
eutertaining program, thoroughly enjoyed by
the audience.
After the lecture by Bill Xye and J. Whit
comb Riley. at the opera house last
evening, the members of the Minneapolis
Press club tendered these gentlemen a recep
tion at the club rooms. Both Mr. Nye and
Mr. Itiley were in their happiest mood, and
until the small hours of morning the rooms
rang with mirth.
Toronto Excursion*
The Knights of Pythias committee ap
pointed to arrange rates of transportation to
and from Toronto next month, it being the
occasion of the assembling of the supreme
lodge at that place, have arranged for two
routes, one via the lakes and the other via
Chicago. The lake route, so-called, will be
by rail from Minneapolis or St. Paul to Du
luth, thence by steamer United Empire to
Toronto, tickets for the round trip being $30,
including state room and board, the tickets
being good for thirty days. It is probable
that most of the party will take this route.
The all-rail route will bo via Chicago, Mil
waukee & St. Paul nnd the Graud Trunk rail
ways, tickets for round trip being $23, to
w-hich add usual sleeping-ear an:l dining-car
rates, the tickets being good either way .be
tween July 9 and 31. It is expected that a
low rate will be made for those desiring to go
by one route and return by another. All the
roads between here and Chicago will issue
tickets at the same rates, on proper certifi
cates, and it is barely possible that lower
rates may be arranged, for A. Frederick of
Stillwater is chairman of the committee and
E. S. Radcliff of St. Paul the secretary.
The Wrong nan.
"Harry Hill, New York," wag the name
written upon tho West hotel register last
evening which attracted the most attention-
The name of "Parson Davies" was also there,
and the two seemed to revive old memories
in the minds of many. The various hotel re
porters, as they made the rounds, gazed at
the name of Mr. Hill a moment and then
rushed frantically to the manager of the
hotel and inquired in trembling tones if it
was the Harry Hill of sporting fame who was
staying at tho hotel. Their blanl: looks when
informed that Mr. Hill was only a plain
business man from New York were comical,
and one reporter remarked : Huh, I did not
know thsit any one would care to register
that way unless he was someone."
Another one advanced to the clerk, who
stood near the desk, and asked: "Who is this
Harry Hill, anyway?" The words had not
yet died away when a fine looking youug man
turned and remarked: "I am Harry Hill,
what is it you want?" Then he added, in a
half apologetic tone, "No, I am not the one
you want, I guess."
The Flour Output Increased.
As was expected, the flour output last week
was increased and reached a figure only a
little uuder 24,000 barrels daily, the North
western Miller will say: The total product
was 143, 70U barrels— averaging 23,950 barrels
daily — against 135,530 barrels the preceding
week, aud 91,400 barrels for the correspond
ing time in IHBS. There is likely to be very
nearly a repetition of last week's work this
week. The same nineteen mills aro. running,
and under very similar conditions. No sign
has yet been given of any of the mills closing
down, and it is believed that they will run
quite strong for some time to come. The ad
vance in wheat of last week was having a
good, though slow, effect ou flour buyers, and
causing them to offer considerably higher
prices, when the decline of Tuesday and to
day in wheat greatly unsettled the market
again.
Tlayor Aiues' Orders.
Yesterday Mayor Ames issued the follow
ing general order, which is in conformity
with his plan as outlined heretofore in these
columns:

THE CROP It PORT.
Tbo Department of Agriculture's
Isiiiiiiiit- of the Situation.
Washington, June 10. — The crop re
port of the department of agriculture' makes
the area of spring wheat nearly the same
as last year— about 18,000,000 acres.
There ia an increase of one-sixth of Inst
year's breadth la Dukota, h decrease in Ne
braska, ittul a bidull reaction in Minnesota
and Wisconsin. Tho minor spring wheat dis
tricts show v small advance. The oxtensiou
of area in Dakota is duo mainly to settlement,
and tho necessity ' of ready monoy lor im
provements, and somewhat to last yoar's uu-
BaUsfaotory llax product In southern Dakota.
Tho effect of low prices of wheat , has
been counteracted by tho superior rate oi'
yield of recent years, tho ■ condition of
spring wheat averaging 1 88Jjw against 97 iv
last year: Wisconsin 97, Minnesota . 1)9, lowa
100, Nebraska 97, Dakota 'J9, Washington ' luo.
Winter wheat Is not so promising 1 ns ou tho
Ist of May. A slight decline in condition Is
reported in tho West, and tho low condition
of the Southern crop is much reduced. Yet
the iivoraeo is only reduced two points —
94.0 to 92.7. It is still from averajjo to blgh
in tho imat wheat-producing states. In New
York it is not littering as in years of strong
root exowth. It is very promising in Mary
land and Virginia, except in wet 1 lands. In
the South it has boon affected by rust, shriv
eling the grain harvested. There has been
injury from drouth in Texas, rain and floods
in Ohio and hail storms in Missouri. The
prospect is good for a small fraction above 13
bushels per acre.
Roasted to Death.
Buffalo, N. V., June 10.— A fire at

The amount of insurance is unknown. Later
in . the morning the body of an unknown
man was found burned to a crisp in the
ruins.

GOOD AND BAD
Clothing is alike made to sell, and it is plain that bad Clothing is
sold in establishments where no regard is paid to honest dealing.
It is at such places the buyer invariably gets swindled. A man
with a guilty conscience is uneasy; so are these people. They are
always resorting to a trick or device to deceive the public. A short
story is soon told and it needs no remarkable memory to tell the
truth. "We are doing the business of the Northwest in Clothing for
Men and Boys- Our low prices and honest-made goods are making
new trade every day. All goods manufactured for this season's wear
and cut in latest styles. Look into our Fine Suit Department and
wonder where we got so many. Perhaps we can give you a better fit
and better made than your tailor. Perhaps we might save you a few
dollars, who knows, if universal advertising has not destroyed your
faith in human nature. If you believe that anybody can make a
strong statement truthfully, then run your eye carefully over this
column. If you act upon our advice you will, we think, keep some
money in your pocket -while you help fill our money drawer. If
you accept our advice you will find out that we tell the truth. "We
are always at home ready to welcome you. Try us and see.

WHY THE SEA IS SALT.
Geikie says: "The salt of the sea is all de
rived from the waste of the rocks." All
over the earth water is dissolving salt out
of the rocks, so that the water of our
springs and streams all contains more or
less salt, which is ceaselessly poured
into the ocean. The sea gives the water
all back again in yapor, millions of tons a
day, but the salt remains. The Atlantic
Ocean contains three and one-half of salts
in one hundred parts of water, while the
Dead Sea contains something like 24
parts of salt. The two last days of this
week, June 11 and 12, any man can put
$10.50 into the U T Kand get a $20
Suit. See them in our window. It is the
surest bargain of the year. Only for two
days at the TJ T X, Corner Mcollet Aye
