MINNEAPOLIS DOINGS. Marvelous Cases That Eival the Divine Miracles Exported by Mind-Cmc Cranks. Incendiary Efforts on Uicollet Avenue to be Investigated— the Officers Say. The Reception Committee to Wel come the Conference of Chari ties and Corrections. A. Stift" Found in the mver--The Real Us tat c World- -Sorno Political Pointers. THE JIISD-CIKE CRAZE. How it Operates ully--Its Defect Always Surpressed. With its useful predilection for the won derful and the disposition to take hold of and ruu wild after the mysterious, Min neapolis has gone draft on the mind cure craze and reports complete cases that rival, in their character, 'the divine miracles. I: the mind-cure physician or physicians do not grow rich it will not be because o the lack of credulity of the com munity. Information of these spread witt the rapidity of wild-lire and gather in their travels, much as a snowball increases ii rolling, but always are backed by the the best authority, An Eighth ward lady ha been bedridden since winter. Prostrate* by troubles incidental to maternity, fou physicians abandoned her to die, when a mind-cure doctress was called in. All med icine was Hung to the dogs and in a week the lady was able to walk out. A near neighbor had cancer of the stomach and Was pronounced helplessly at death's door. In desperation the mind cure wa-5 essayed and the cancerous afiliction is fast disappearing. A young boy on the East side lost the use of a limb through stiffening of the knee joint. The best surgeons of the city pronounced th stiffness permanent and incurable, but the mind cure brought suppleness to the joint in a week. A Western avenue grocer suf fered the tortures of the doomed with asthma, and allopathy and homoeopathy had in turn exhausted themselves without bringing relief, when mind cure stepped in and the man is well. These are but a few cases of the marvel ous cures reported, and the matter is be coming the talk of the town. For years Minneapolis has been overrun with electric, magnetic and massage physicians, but the results of their practice were never so start lirigly successful as the mind cure. Faith cure arose and was indorsed by the minis terial association, but beyond the work of one quack who victimized several East siders, died as quickly again. Bu this mind cure seems to have taken a per manent hold, which no amount of scoffin and sneering can shake off. It is ridiculed and jeered unmercifully, but argumeut ends in the face of bona fide cures. It is safe to say that in a majority of cases, coincideuc Is mistaken for causation, and it must b borne in mind that only the successful case are trumpeted to the world. A thousand 4«iforts at mind cure may be essayed with out result and the world be no wiser, but once a sickness is conquered and mind cure enters as an element, whether a fatcor o not, and the entire world is apprised of it. "WORTH IXVESTfIGATING, The Incendiary Efff or on IVicoliet Avenue Saturday ft'iffht. There is yet no definite clue to the person "who endeavored to fire Jacobs' grocery store, opposite the Hotel Albion on Nicol let avenue, Saturday night, although sus picion points to a person who will be watched. Officer Allen, on whose beat it happened, . said last evening that about 11:30 or o'clock he was passing the place, when two young men employed in the store came to him and said they thought some one was down stairs. Officer Gus tafson was called and went down into the cellar. Here he found a small piece of board saturated with kerosene, with a can die burning in the center of it. Surround ing this were several newspapers and a quantity of kindling wood. Allen state that both the front and rear doors of the cellar were unlocked. They had bee found in a similar condition once befo during the evening, and the proprietor wa summoned and ordered to bolt them. The front door is really composed of two doors and present a barrier only when the bolt in center is shot into the floor. This not be injr done all that would be necessary to open the doors would be to press against them and the bolt in the regular loc would draw out, and the two doors swh wide open. The officers are of the opinion that the doors were opened by some on inside the cellar. The affair will be ful investigated. CHARITIES AND CORRECTIONS. Reception to Delegates and Coi ference at Plymouth Church. This evening the session of the national conference of charities and corrections will be transferred from St. Paul to Minne apolis, and will be held at Plymouth church. The following gentleman compose a com mittee on reception aud entertainment: Messrs. C. M. Loring, John S. Pillsbury. A. H. Young, C. M. Loring, D. C. Bell, Albert Shaw, Kelson Williams, George A. Brackett, Rev. James McGolrick and Dr. W. N. Leonard. The delegates will leave St. Paul by the 3 o'clock Milwaukee short line, under escort of a sub-committee, and will be received by a deputation, at the de pot. Carriages will be in waiting and a drive about the city will follow, to occupy two hours. If the weather is favorable, last night's rain will make this a very en joyable feature. At 5:30 o'clock a colla tion will be served at the parlors of Ply mouth church, to be followed by an infor mal reception and conversazione. The evenine: session of the conference, which will be devoted to the subject of prisons and prison reform, will begin at 7:30 sharp, in the auditorum of Plymouth church. All persons interested are invited and to laboring men and Knights of Labor a special invitation is extended. The prin cipal speakers will be Hon. Z. A. Brock away and Gen. Robert Biukerhoff, of Ohio. DEALINGS IX DIRT. Prices Serenely Ascending-— Sales and Values Increasing- Tog-ether. Keal estate men are happy, and many, in fact nearly all, of them wear smiles as childrlike and bland as that of a youngster when he gets his first pair of copper-toed boots, and goes strutting down the street, at once the admiration and envy of all his companions. Well may they wear this smile, for none but the real estate man knoweth of the mighty profits to be de rived by trading in Minneapolis dirt. It is safe to say that nearly all the men in the city who have dabbled in real estate at all, have made money at it, and not a small amount either. Values are constantly on the increase, and as it is an assured fact that there will be no decline; that is, no permanent decline, all are anxious to secure land in this future rival of Chicago. The de pression incident to the labor troubles is now a thing of the past. People have gained confidence in Minneapolis by reason of the better class, of artisans who make their homes here. Early in the season some croakers predicted that the transfers this year would amount to comparatively nothing. How well their prophecy has been fulfilled may be seen from the follow ing figures, giving the record of the past six years' transactions: Year. Deeds. 1880 3,096 $4,548,364 1881 4,366 ■;•; 7,393,42S 1882 7.194 18,701,246 1883 9.548 i 26,977,868 1884 8,154 22,311,713 1885 9,059.- 21,843,707 1886 10,000 (estimated) 31,000,000 Total . ,359 $132,376,326 During the past week there were 24.9 deeds tiled for record, the total considera tion of which was 5649,220. This is a . smaller amount by $10,000 than last week. The attention of purchasers - has b%en largely directed to residence property, and the number of building permits being takea out Is something • enormous. Last week there were eighty-eight, the estimated cost of the buildings being 5372,305.g LYINU l.\ Til RIVEB. The Body of a. Man Found. Wedffed Between Two Log's. Yesterday afternoon, while one of the mounted officers was patroling his beat be tween Lake and Thirty-eighth streets, he discovered the body of a man wedeed in between two logs in the river. The coat was drawn over the head somewhat, but the hands were badly decomposed. The body had evidently lodged there during I high water, and the river in falling had left it high and dry. It is thought to be the body of the man who jumped off the j short line bridge some time ago. Soon after the body was discovered a messenger was dispatched for Coroner Hill, but he j could not be found. This morning at 7:3 the body was removed to Gleason & Byoi urn's morgue, where au inquest will be held. CURRENT COMMENT. It is too bad tbat a Tribune reporter was not present at the lockup yesterday morning when a man was brought in with a bloody nose, caused by accidentally falling down, It might have been worked up into a sensation, I and given him an opportunity to adveis ely criticize the administration. The public, as a rule, never takes iuto consideration tne fact that policemen are human, and are ofte obliged to protect themselves in some man ner from the anger of a rum-crazed man The public appears to have an idea that a officer should stand still and let a man who he is arresting- pound him all up and abus him in any manner he sees fit. If he doe there are always those who are ready to ex claim: "Served him right; that's what he paid for." But if the offender is necessari handled in a rough manner the cry goes up tha the police are brutal, and take a wild delight in knocking men down and abusing them. If some of those constant growlers would fiud out facts before turning over the office there would be much less grumbling. Ire would a great many tourists visiting » * here are a great many tourists visiting this city, and the uumber will increase instead of decrease from now on until fall, It might occur to some of the members of the several boards of trade that a pamphlet con taining: a description of some of the principal features of Minneapolis ana vital statistics might bring large returns for a small outlay in the way of advertising the city. There are scores of inquiries daily at the "West hotel alone by strangers for information concern ing the growth, industries and business of Minneapolis, and the clerks are obliged to say that there is nothing of the kind provided for distribution. daily at the West hotel ie by strangers for information concorn the growth, industries and business of ineapolis, and the clerks are obliged to say t there is nothing of the kind provided for Speaking about advertising the city, th millers at the Pillsbury A are doing a good deal of work in this direction that is probab not appreciated because unnoticed. This thought occurred the other day while observ ins? one of the employes show a distinguisht party of Philadelphiaus about the mill. He not only gave a comprehensive and interest ing lecture upon milling, but escorted the party to the roof, where for a half hour he pointed out the principal buildings, gave a brief history of the city, prices of real estate, statement of taxes, waterpowcr facilities, etc. E statement of taxes, waterpower facilitie The argument in the action to enjoin the stone arch bridge will be heard in the district court to-day, unless a compromise should be reached meanwhile, which is not probable. This bridge question has assumed a personal shape, neither necessary or agreeable. To the vast majority of taxpayers the present squabble is anything but palatable. They want a bridge that will remove the objections to the preseut structure and care very little whether it is a stone arch, single pier or steel cantilever. Two or three men are endeavor ing: to stamp their personality on the bridge, and with — they are on both sides of the fight — the general public has precious little sympathy. The city wants a good, broad and substantial bridge, the best ior the least money, and wauts it i'ree of any taint of con tract jobbery. And that is all. "** An impression has gone abroad that Prof. Bradley has been elected superintendent of schools for Minneapolis. It is a mistaken one, however. The board has about come to the conclusion that the desirable new methods in the public schools can be secured only through an entirely new man. For this reason Prof. Moore and Jordan were not con sidered in connection with the superintend eucy. The success attendant upon the im portation of President Northrup of the university has been a strong factor in this conclusion. Prof. Bradley seemed, to the minds of several members, to fill the bill, and an informal offer was made him. He is now principal of the Albany high school at a salary of $3,500, and it has been agreed to offer him $4,000. The matter is yet in abey ance, and has never been officially before the board. A Rum Maniac. Yesterday morning the patrol wagon was called to Sixth avenue south and Washing ton, where a man, who had been on a protracted spree, was making things lively. He was a raving maniac. It took the com bined strength of three men to get him in the wagon. Even then he fought like a demon, and nearly succeeded in breaking a thumb for Officer Farouskow. During the melee he fell against the side of the wagon and brought the blood to his nose in a man ner that surprised him. When at the lock up he made a tierce attack upon one of the officers and was placed in a cell. The Barbers' Sunday. The barber shops were all closed yester day so far as heard from with the exception of the West hotel shop and a shop in North Minneapolis. Nine commit tees from the Barbers' brotherhood were on the lookout to secure evidence against the the barbers who worked, for the purpose of bringing prosecutions for violations of the Sunday law. There is some doubt, how ever, as to whether the clerk of the muni cipal court will issue warrants for arrests, until the decision is made in the case that had been appealed to the supreme court.

John J. Mcllale, who has been at the head of the business office of Glenn's boiler vorks for some years, has decided to prac tice law. Mayor Ames was present at the coopers' picnic Saturday, but when urged to make a speech refused point blank, saying he did not inteud to addresi a single pic nic this year if he could help it. George H. Smith, foreman of the press room at Johnson, Smith & Harrison's, who las been spending the past week in Chi cago, attended while there the trial of the men arrested for throwing bombs during the late riots. As he passed out of the court house he was more surprised than gratified to find himself pointed out as "one of those anarchits." The applications for "privileges" at the Exposition already number over 800. It is yet five weeks before the Exposition opens. The season at the Grand opera will begin with the Exposition, on Aug. 23, with Sol Smith Kussell in "Felix McKusick." Elder Stewart is one of the largest indi vidual taxpayers in the county." By the way, how much has he subscribed to the Exposition.

A rainy Sunday means just so much money out of the pocket of the motor com pany, while 'a fair hot one means a bo nanza.

H3KI An elderly gentleman, evidently an En glishman, was near the lock-up last nigh when two old-timers were brought in. "That's a reinawkably sad case," said he "don't ye think those women might possi bly be weformed? It seems very sad tha women should so fah degwade themselves in this century as to dwink so horribly, don't ye know." He was an intellectual-looking man, and as he stood looking at a swarm of bugs around an electric light his face took on a serious look. Turning to a friend, he said: "Long have I tried to liud out the true name of those little insects, and until yes ternay 1 was unsuccessful. I know now however. They are of the antepenultimal iateauethothite family, and are called epidicazomenodecopolises. They are ver peculiar bugs aud — " but his hearers ha fainted. "Talk about morbid curiosity," said a veteran police oftieer as he closed the blind of the lockup to prevent the crowd looking in, "it strikes me that there is more of it in this city to the square foot than in any city I was ever in. If a simple drunk is brought in a crowd immediately gathers and surges around, tryine to get a glimpse of the unfortunate person. Ido not know whether it is because a drunken man is such a rarity or because there is a desire to see a fellow being make a beast of him self." If there is anything in this world calcu lated to raise a man's anger and fill his mind with bitter, unforgiving hate, it is to have a street-car driver stop his car di rectly over the crossing, He presents to you two methods, from which you can take your choice. First, you can wait until he moves on before you cross, or, second, you can paddle around the car in the mud. The majority of the drivers seem to think a lady likes to have a car stopped where she will be compelled to alight in two or three inches of mud. It is of mud. safe to make remarks tis not always safe to make remarks ceming small men who wear silk hats. Such a one was going down Washington avenue last evening when a big, burly toush stepped in front of him and made an insult ing remark. He did not repeat it. for a smail but solid fist struck him full in the face, and when he picked himself up the small man with the silk hat was gently walking away. An old resident wants to know if a man who is not a voter in Minnesota is qualified to serve on juries. He claims to know of a man who had not been in the state four months, who served on four juries. He would further like to know how this man came on the regular panel. "From what I have seen in a morning paper," said a Milwaukee traveling man last evening, "I came here expecting to ne on the regular panel. 'From what I have seen in a morning per," said a Milwaukee traveling man t evening, "I came up here expecting to see murderers every few moments, and to have my pockets picked a dozen times in going from the depot to my hotel.

St. Lotjis, July 19. — A fire which proved o be the largest and most destructive of its iud that has ever occurred in this city, was discovered at about 2 o'clock this aft rnoon in the lumber yards of Knapp, tout & Co., at the corner of Angelica treet and Bremen avenue. An alarm was immediately turned in, and two engines were soon at the scene. They were, how ever, owing to the poor water supply, un able to cope with the flames, which, driven by a strong wind, soon communicated to the nearest lumber piles and were making rapid headway toward the Union stock yards, the destruction of which seemed for a time inevitable. The wind soon shifted to the opposite direction, however, and they were saved, but the lumber yards were doomed. In the meantime more alarms were sent iv, and twenty engines were called out. The water supply, however, was entirely insufficient for the emergency, and the flames leaped from pile to pile of the dry lumber with incredible swiftness. The fire was not confined to any one por tion of the yards, for sparks and burning splinters were carried in every direction by the wind, and the whole territory of the yards, covering thirty-five acres of ground, seemed to be one mass of blazing lumber. The efforts of the firemen, which would evidently have been fruitless if directed towards subduing the flames, were from this time employed in keeping them from spreading, and in this they were successful. The fire was allowed to burn itself out, and at the end of four hours 25,000,000 feet of lumber were a total loss. The contents of the yards was mostly lumber of superior grades, and the loss on this account is very heavy— s4oo,ooo. The company's stables were also consumed, but the horses were rescued. The total insurance cannot at this hour be ascertained, but it is estimated at §270,000.

Forty People Thrown Into the Sea and None Drowned. Rockaway Beach, July 18. — The steamboat Columbia, of the Knickerbocker line, reached the landing here with a large number of excursionists from New York. About 4 o'clock this afternoon the eang plank was run out from the boat to the landing, and as soon as the bar was re- Kding. and as soon as the bar was re moved a great rush was made to get off the boat. Purser Perry and some deck hands endeavored to hold the crowd back, but with little effect. All at once there was a crash and a splash, folio ived by a cry of horror from those on the boat. The string: piece of the dock had given away and the gang plank, with between thirty and forty persons on it, had been precipitated into the water. Im mediately several men, including John O'Toole, bar tender, T. J. Brosnan and Commodore Pease of the Columbia jumped into the water, and in a few minutes the IToole, tender, T. J. seen endeavor ammodore Pease of the Columbia jumped to the water, and in a few minutes the lfortunates, who could be seen eudeavor ing to keep themselve above the water, were rescued and safely carried to a hotel, where they were attended by doctors. They were all resusitated. The bravery or John O'Toole was specially commendable. He rescued no less than seven persons, mostly women and children. T. J. Brossnan carried four persons from the water. Some of the rescued persons were able to proceed with their friends and left after obtaining changes of clothing. Twenty-five others are now comfortably housed at the Seaside house, the steamboat officials having instructed the hotel pro prietors to care for them. THE CHOP REPORT, eneral Unfavorable Showing Ow in&r to tt)routh. CnicAGO, July 18. The following crop port will appear in this week's issue of he Farmers' Review: "While local rains aye been experienced in many localities in tle "West and Northwest, in some cases accompanied by destructive hail and wind, there have been general rains covering large areas and bringing tbe drouth to an end. The winter wheat has been harvested in all but some extreme northern portiona of the heat belt. Its condition has kept well up to the promise it made in the early pring. Hay and oats are being cut. Both are below the average on account of ( rought. Pastures are getting very short. and potatoes and other rain crops need rain cry badly. Corn is generally in fine con tion, clean and well advanced, but it eeds rain and it reported as already suf fering in some localities. The spring wheat continues to run down in condition. It is now too lar advanced to be much benefited by rains. So the injury from drought there is added that from chinch bugs and in some localities rust. Harvest alone will show its real condition, but it does not now promise to exceed 50 per cent of au average crop throughout the North west. Droutli in the Southwest. St. Louis, July 18. Dispatches from the Indian Territory say: The drouth is still continuing over nearly the who:e of the territory. The range is rapidly being ruined, and prairies are already burning in every direction. Murrain has broken out among the cattle in several localities, and many are dying. Unless we have rain soon a regular epidemic among the stock is feared. A dispatch from Topeka says the present drouth in Kansas is the severest the state has known since 1873. Unless rain falls during the coming week the corn prospect will be ruined. Corn is just be einning to tassel, and it is in a condition when rain is most needed. The last gen eral rain was in the latter part of June, since the weather has been hot. There have been local showers, but not enough to be of any service. The oat and wheat harvests have exceeded the estimates of the state board, but from the present outlook the corn crop will be greatly re duced. Far Reaching Resolutions. St. Louis, July 18.— The Greenback labor convention for the Thirteenth con gressional district of this state in session at Pierce City yesterday nominated Col. H. F.

The resolutions adopted were taken largely from the plat form of the Knights of Labor and declare that the government should own and con trol the railroads, telegraph and telephone lines; that : non-interest bearing money should be issued instead of bonds; that not another acre of public domain should be given to railroads or any other corporation, and that after IS9O no alien should be al lowed to own land or other real estate. A CHARMING BRIDE. The Turkish Maiden** Gorgeous Wedding Outfit. To give a description of the attire of the bride, writes fc>. S. Cox in an article oa Mohammedan marriages in the North American Review, demands a dainty pen and a nicer sense than belongs to the sterner sex. The writer essays to do it with apprehension. First, she wears wide trousers, not unlike a petticoat, tied up a the end on each leg. The fabric is of red, blue or yellow silk, embroidered with gold. Then there is a robe of silk or velvet and a long train, glittering with gold embroid cries and precious stones, and surrounded with gold trimmings and lace. Her boots or shoes are adorned in the same mode The dressing of her head is remarkable, and her face is painted in the mos exaggerated manner, in white and red, and her eyes, her eyebrows and eye lashes are delicately pencilled. Theso elegancies of the toilet rob something o grace from her naturalness by defacin her maiden beauty. Upon her cheeks ar stuck two jewels, each as large as half a dollar. In the middle of each cheek ther is a big diamond. Over the cheek and on the forehead are affixed small gold stars, mounted with precious stones. This com pletes the costly disfigurement of the lace Over the forehead a tuft is mounted with an extremely large diamond. If the family be weil off this gem is as big as a walnut. Another diamond, oblong in shape, is fixed on one side of the head. From the crown of the head down to the ear, diamonds are scattered over and through the hair. Kid gloves cover her hands, over which a large number of rings are worn. A beautiful fan completes the picture of the bride en toilette. It is disenchanting to know that the tuft, the oblong diamond and the wed ding dresses are often hired for the cere mony. This is not unreasonable, because it is economical, for these portions of the regalia cannot be used on any other than a wedding occasion, or by any one else than a bride. The Pension Abuse. New York Independent (Rep.) The people can have no other feeling than that of sincere gratitude to the presi dent for his frank and manly course in re spect to the system of pension jobbery which has so largely become the order of the day with the members of congress, whether Republicans or Democrats. Th systera has become an intolerable abuse and perversion of the pension idea, and th abuse aud perversion spring from political and party motives on the theory of courtii what is called "the soldier vote." The time has come to call a halt in this business aud soberly inquire whether tay-paye have rights which congress is bound to re spect. . The president's vetoes are calci lated to open the eyes of the people to wh congress is doing with the public nione Though courteous in form they are, in fact, a stern and sharp rebuke of congress on this subject, and anyone who takes tim enough to examine the facts as they exist will have no difficulty in seeing that the re buke has been well deserved. It is to be hoped that the president will repeat the re buke whenever the occasion calls for it, and thus do a good seryice to the general public. The Best Traveling Costumes. Collars and cuffs of linen may be worn, but are not favored, as they are so easily soiled and so difficult to get laundried while one is in transit that many ladies use ruch ing of canvas or scrim, buying a good sup ply and throwing away as it becomes soiled. Tourists' ruffling may be used in the same way. Black Brussels net maybe plaited and sewed in the neck and sleeves, and can be worn some time without change, but it looks stale, and there is a freshness about a clean white ruche that is best liked by every woman of delicate taste. Some of the season's traveling dresses are made very simple, and every garment for this purpose to be at all stylish must not show anything like fussiness. Long lines, straight draperies and plain effects are adopted to the exclusion of all other styles. Closely-woven, light-weight materials are chosen, and silk, especially surah, is much used. A partly-worn black dress can be fixed up and used for a traveling costume. If there is not enough of the old for an entire suit get a few yards of summer camel's hair to mix with it. Camel's hair suits are made up with a nel of velvet, collars and cuffs of the same material. The traveling wrap should be long, ample and not too thin. The newmarket is a good style, made in light-weight cloth, with a small cape or hood that can be detached, but experienced tourists prefer the pelisse yle that can be more readily adjusted. Pongee or surah dusters are worn for turn er traveliug by railway, and these are long and ample. The straw hat should be close aud small and plainly trimmed, so that one may rest le head against the window-casing or at the back of the seat without discomfort to the wearer. Gloves of rather thick kid should button osely around the wrist, while the hands lould fit loose enough to be comfortable for all purposes. Gloves should also be worn. One of the most important of all ac ssories for steamer travel is the parasol. This should be strong to defy winds, aud of a good dark color. ood Reason for Thoug-htfuliiess.
