Wild Leap, Without Apparent Injury, of a Tramp Prcm the Milwaukee Short-Lino Bridge. Railroad IMan to Bridge Streets— A Lassie "Who Would a Festive Cow lloy I.ivc. Cesnola Collection Seoured—Xye and Kiley at tne Graud-Mlnor News Condensed. 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. THE GOOD Trill'Mßs.

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: Col. M.G. Chase.Chief of Police: I|des:re in order to bring the police force to a high order of. effi ciency, that you detail fifty men. two sergeants and forty-eight patrolmen for drill with muskets, to be officered as follows: Capt.

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.

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.

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.
