CLEVELAND'S TEMPORARY HOME ON WHEELS. The Train of Three Cars, Practically Under One Roof, on Which the President Travels—The Pullman Palace Car for His Exclusive Use. [A description of this diagram will be found in the souvenir number.] have been limited to these facts. The entire history of the. Flour City is com pressed into the limits of that time dur ing which the Democracy went hungry and thirsty. President Cleveland will see a city grown great during one interregnum, and will probably grasp the hands of a dozen men who have watched it from infancy. While cities in the slowly-moving East have scarcely changed in topographical ap pearance this beautiful city has sprung tip on a wilderness of prairie. Only twenty-five or thirty years and yet what a change! And after all. what an array of names can be conjured up of men who saw it all and know it all—who were the seeds sown from St. Anthony and have blossomed out into the fabu lous population of Minneapolis! Most of them have grown old and gray, but they are the only landmarks of ',a "period that cannot be recalled by buildings. There is It. P. Russell, for example, who voted for Frank Pierce and has followed this Democratic line down to Cleveland. One sweep of his mind's eye can take in .the change from .waving prairie grass to well lined avenue and. boulevard and can follow his squatter's claim from nothing up to thousands. Franklin Steele has gone, but his family is here, with the vast holdings that then amounted to nothing but claims. The only and origi nal John 11. Stevens is still here,but his great possessions have nearly all passed into other hands. J. H. Thompson is here, and is a tailor still, young and happy. R. 1.. Stillman, now" rich and prosperous, was then a callow fledgling, uncertain whether to pitch into law in St. Anthony or farming along Nicollet. John S. Pillsbury was weighing out nails and selling hatchets while dream ing of political honors which soon came and passed. Peter Wolford was here ami was studying those lessons of econ omy which have proved worth millions to him. Anthony Kelly, now a million aire grocer, was then in business with his brother P. H., in the days before the latter became a merchant prince, while John I. Black, now a member of the firm, was struggling with the calico trade in St. Anthony. O. M. Lar raway may not enjoy the visit. He will remember, however, the entire history Of the period. lie was a grocer, but he gained political favor and became postmaster. His successor, John J. Ankeny, will also remember the old times when the little village was fight ing for existence on the west bank. W. P. Ankeny began his career at the same time, and A. T. Ankeny was first learn ing the mysteries of Coke upon Little ton. Mike Hoy was then a broth of an Irish boy and had not achieved fame, while his friend, George A. Brackett, was a butcher, and had not obtained a war contract for beef. W. W. Wales is still on deck.and will recall with a smile that he was then town clerk of St. Anthony. Henry T. Welles, now a mill ionaire banker, had already sized up the coming greatness of Minneapolis, and was laying but the corner lots that are now worth their millions. Judge Isaac Atwaterwill to-day acknowledge him self a Democrat, and will recall the time when he edited the Democrat and supported the administration of Pierce. Judge William Loch ren will also admit himself an out-and-out Bourbon, and tells how In- voted for Cleveland, and was sorry he was not old enough to vote for Pierce. There is J. B. Bottineau, who will be quite reminiscent this day and will say he can recall the first ballot-box of Minneapolis and his pride in deposit ing the first vote in it. The whole Bas sett family belong to this period, and all are Democrats without a flaw to-day. Joel was in lumber from the beginning, and Daniel was figuring in trade, while "N ill had just opened his baby eyes upon the infant Flour City. E. M. Wilson and W. W. McNair moved in about the beginning of the interregnum. The latter has gone, but the former is still in the front rank and will greet the President as a Democrat and brother. S. C. Gale was in the neighborhood, too, and has the events jotted down in a work which Ins grandchildren may pub lish. C. 11. Pettit enjoyed the cold win ters at that time, and was even then an aevocate of abolition and the Blair bill. Of course the Ames family was here,* though Albert Alonzo had not dreamed of creating a breeze in politics; but his father, the doctor, and his uncle, the judge, were among the first on the ground. John C. Oswald can remember the entire time, and was among the first to cast a vote in Minne apolis. T. K. (.ray has sold drugs from time immemorial, and is selling them yet. He sold the first face powder ever used in Minneapolis, and it is rumored J. R. Hofflin wore it. Charles Hoag will rejoice this day, and if he gets the opportunity will tell President Cleve land he named the city. Elder L. M. Stewart was a tender tailor when Min neapolis was born and lias been making money ever since. Dorilus Morrison arrived with the first installment, and will probably stay until the last getting richer all the time. Martin Lay man came early and grew rich out of a cemetery in which his [remains now rest. Solon Armstrong came in with St. Anthony,and has lived there ever since,;never crossing the river except to attend political conven tions. Dr. Chute is one of the fathers of the first East side settlement, and gave name to the tunnel that narrowly escaped wrecking the tans. • .101111 vim is another pioneer who never forsook the East side for the glittering prosper ity of the West. Though gone, his sons represent-him. Col. W. S.King, the ] original Minneapolitan and emperor of 1 short horns, .when away from home, re j members most of* the history of the - in terregnum, in the writing of which .he ' used i bold fist. K. A. Harmon knows something of this, also, and Mace Eustis was here when it was done. R. J. Bald win might add a line, and John Blais j dell might contribute a morceau of his i torv. Louis Larrabee and .1. W. Law- I rence and Thomas Hale Williams might just as well be added to the list. The interregnum is over and a Demo i cratic president comes.s. The• quarter ! century is short in the history of the world, yet it includes the all of Minne apolis. * It winds through the checkered career of the Corn exchange, and closes with the dramatic existence of the board of trade in the prime of its useful ness. It exhibits the mightiness of events which pass in v a night. It saw Minneapolis start its flickering life in an uncertain kind of way: saw the young men go out to the civil war, and sees them now as veterans grown gray; s.w the city's growth stunted by a panic, and finally saw it take hold with new life and rush restlessly along to its destiny. Only a quarter of century and a few years—the difference between one Democratic chief magistrate and the next! Yet with Minneapolis how im portant, marking two great epochs! At the first nothing. At the second a great city. The second epoch is welcomed to-day. *•_» CLASPED BY A BEAR. I Exciting Midnight Encounter Be lated by a Railroad Agent. San Francisco Examiner. A man who is well thought of by the railway fraternity is Hoyt Sherman, general agent of the Union Pacific, of j Salt Lake, who arrived from that place yesterday.. He was first brought into prominence by an adventure which ! lie had on the road from Beaver j Canon into the Yellowstone National i park. Mr. Sherman was tourist agent '• for the road, and when a big party went | . up to the park he would accompany I them. The distance from Beaver Canon is 125 miles, and three years ago when he had the adventure* the road was very primitive. Rough and rocky, it wound itswav through deep canons whose walls roseto magnificent heights, making the scenery awful and grand, and then over the fertile plains, through mountainous country into tim bered regions that could not be excelled. There was something about this drive that thrilled and delighted passengers and made them want to cover the dis tance again. But as pleasant as they were they were not free from dan ger. It lurked everywhere. In the j fissures of the rocks were skulking 1 mountain lions watching the passing of j the stage-coach with gleaming eyes, j while panthers, more cowardly vet fully \ as dangerous, oerched in trees that over | hung the road on winch the stage tray- | i eled. would give their fierce cry and i perchance leap upon its top, to find that its occupants were beyond reach. Then the silver-tipped bear and big black bruin, on his stately rounds for meat, would cautiously pass that way. Some times at night the tourists would camp for a change. It was one night they did this that Mr. Sherman had his adventure— one that is not new to him now. They camped in a clump of timber below the mountains, and corraled the horses a few rods oft. It was about midnight when Mr. Sher man was awakened by the neighing of a horse. He got up to reconnoiter, and saw a black object pass near the coiral. The moon was out in all her splendor, though the trees shadowed the earth. Thinking that the object was a man, and that he meant to steal the horses, he took his pistol from his pocket, and noticing that his clasp knife was all right he cautiously advanced. He was looking to see where the big black ob ject had gone, when, as though it had risen from the ground, a big black bear stood in front of him. First he thought to run, but this would be death, for one stroke from its powerful paw would lay him low. The pistol was a small one, but he raised it after his first surprise was over and pulled the trigger. It did not go off, He just remembered that he had neg lected to reload the weapon that evening after discharging all the cartridges. When the trigger snapped the bear looked at the pistol curiously and then at Sherman. The latter took his knife out and then slowly backed up until he was protected by a tree. The bear fol lowed and caressingly began to hug him. Its hot breath was upon his face and he grew faint. He rallied and then drove the knife to the hilt into bruin who, now fully enraged, rolled Sherman on the ground. Now it was fight or die. Another plunge and the sharp edge of the steel went plowing up the bear,fairly disemboweling him. The struggle soon ended, and though Sherman was the victor he was not altogether unharmed. The tourists heard the noise and were in time to witness the end of the battle. For a week after three Englishmen did nothing but curse their ill-luck at not being the man that the bear at tacked. mm Before The Curtain.

THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 11, 1887.— TWENTY PAGES. non. Alexander Ramsey, responding to the toast, "The War Governor of Minnesota." for | the one-thousandth consecutive time. Dennis Ryan was seen yesterday say ing to a reporter that he had heard there was something in the story of a big pur chase of mining land by a St. Paul syn dicate, but "he had no definite knowl edge on the subject." Dr. J. H. Murphy may be seen exam ining his long mink coat these cool mornings and remarking to himself that he doesn't mind the cold winters up here very much. Mark P. Hatch and his brother-in-law, A. J. Bletheu, of the Tribune, and both from Maine, were seen holding a season of prayer that it might rain on the occa sion of Cleveland's visit to this state. This was the most that could be done to soothe the feelings of the rapidly de creasing number of Blame's boomers. Postmaster Day was seen sweeping out the postoffice and wondering what President Cleveland would say if he were invited to take a look through the building. Hon. Knute Nelson was seen with a slate and piece of chalk trying to esti mate how many votes Cleveland's visit would change in the Fifth district. Sheriff Fred Richter was noticed hold ing his head in his hands before a mir ror, and trying to guess how many j thousand years it would be before it i would be possible for a Republican sheriff to work up to the presidency. W. \V. Erwin can be seen in Carleton county frequently with a dog, two guns and a game-bag. Col. Dudley, superintendent of the cable railway construction, has been seen for some weeks past anxiously looking for something to superintend. Nobody has yet been noticed, even with a telescope with a twenty-six-inch lens, riding oh the cable line, which was to have been completed on Sept. 1. W. A.Van Siykemay be seen daily get- i ting ready to plunge madly into his heavy j underwear and the other carnival gaities i as soon as the ice gets thick enough for the palace. Dr. Quinn was noticed oiling up the I wheels of his snow-shoes for a practice i spin with Charlie Fairchild to Merriam Park as soon as the first snow conies. Jack Wampler was seen shedding large, briny tears because the prairie chickens got so thoroughly harvested before the snowshoe season sets in. The "sight of Mr. Wainpler's tears cracked the t glass in the Globe tele- ] scope. Dr. A. J. Stone was noticed with nine j new neckties in one bunch and four dia- | mond pins, preparing for the winter so- '-. cial season a little in advance of his j brother physicians. Mr. Thomas Cochran may be noticed ; on nearly any clear day inspecting the j horizon for signs of cold waves in his capacity as member of the meteorologi cal committee of the state weather ser j vice. He frequently uses the telescope • of Carleton college for this purpose. j Some days D. K. Noyes may be seen taking notes on Mr. Cochran's observa tions. The chances are that A. M. Doherty will be seen trying to sell President Cleveland a lot of real estate, "at public auction," before the chief magistrate says good-bv to the Northwest. Prof. Phelps, late of St. Paul "but now of Duluth," has been noticed try ing to solve the problem of how on earth the president will stand it when he gets back to Washington and has to tell peo ple that he didn't go on the floor of the 'uluth chamber of commerce. Capt. Peter Berkey, "the watch-dog of the treasury," has been carefully pre paring a statement of the amount of bonds which St. Paul will have to issue to meet the expenses of the presidential visit. J. W. McClung will back up his statement by a resolution or a series of resolutions introduced in the chamber of commerce. Commissioner Beriah Magoffin may be noticed making daily visits to the park opposite Minnehaha. He frequently drinks the water from Hidden falls, and a dipper full of this, with a look at the beautiful landscape, makes him a pretty square meal. Capt. Ed. Bean was heard saying to himself as the presidential party arrived, "This is the biggest thing, we've had since Company D got home from Wash ington." &qgl_ Lieut. Gov. Rice may be seen daily trying to think of a new snake story to spring on the public when he comes to St. Paul. He has two snakes trained to match coppers for a cigar, and then he takes the cigar. Ignatius Donnelly may be noticed sit ting before his fireside, in Nininger, heaving visible sighs because Miss Rose Elizabeth Cleveland is not one of the presidential party. Joe Henshaw, of the Ryan, has been noticed practicing on a new eight-mile for a week. He was heard to murmur on one occasion: "I wish I was put to gether like Stanley Proudfit." John Ford has not been seen for some days. He lias been out of the city loos ing for an entertaining ga me of base ball. Secretary Hoard, of the State Agri cultural society, may still be seen trying to get his nerves untangled from the severe twisting they were gived during "the fair." Carl Judson, assistant Dairy commis sioner, was noticed some days trying to persuade Secretary Eberinan that the I story of his patent churn was as true as ' gospel. .ludson has succeeded in induc ing Commissioner Ives to order one for use in the dairy interests of the state. SEEN IN MINNEAPOLIS. • From the upper platform of the Globe's tall tower, the city of Minne apolis lay spread out like a map, and a panoramic view of its daily life could be seen, The strains of Liberati's band at the Exposition floated upward, and the city was gay with banners and bunting. Crowds of people thronged the streets and energetic life and activity are man ifest on every hand. Citizens mingle with strangers, and the latch-string of the city is out. Delegates to the national convention of the Knights of Labor from all over the country are present, and their badges and emblems blend curi ously with the medals and ribbons from the Exposition.

It is unquestioned that . she made a great success. There may be two opinions about rover, but * Frankie's beauty, and spirit, and appa rent girlishness captured eyerybody. She seems to be a thorough American in every sense; and that alone will carry her a great way with the masses of people here in the East, who are weary of the Anglomania- that is so common in certain rich and fashionable sets. That she is going to be a great help to her husband in his desire for a renomination and re-election is a pretty sure thing, and might as well be counted on as an important element in the bat tles to come. a She enjoyed her visit here much as if it were all a big picnic, and she speaks of it in the same spirit. She writes a big, strong, round hand, and signs her self "Very truly yours. Frances Folsom Cleveland." She uses very pale blue paper, the sheets rather short and the envelopes large and almost square. The late President Arthur's family, you may remember, used the "Arthur arms'' on their stationery. Mrs. Cleveland. however, either makes no pretention to the distinction of the possession of "arms" in her husband's family or is too sagacious to act on it if she does. She has her note paper and envelopes emblazoned with a red, white and blue shield,ornamented with a narrow golden scroll containing the words "The White House" in raised letters. She writes in an easy and straightforward wav, and, like her sisters everywhere, indulges freely in underscoring. . ÜBS. CLEVELAND'S COW. We hear in town that the President and Mrs. Cleveland have held a number of sessions of the inner council of state respecting the cow that Mr. and Mrs. George W. Childs presented to Mrs. Cleveland on the occasion of her visit to "Wootton" during the constitutional centennial celebration. The cow was Miii-pcu uown to *». asuington tins week in a special car. and Mr. Childs' head farmer went along to see that it wanted for nothing on the way. Mr. Cleveland wanted the cow to go to the White house and thought it would be an interesting and picturesque ornament to the White house grounds. Mrs. Cleveland, how ever, didn't see the matter satisfactorily in that light at all. She insisted that the cow was her "very own." and she wouldn't hear of its going anywhere but to:; Oak View—"home." And to Oak View it has gone, and when it grows a little bigger it will pro vide the presi dential breakfast-table regularly with what they call in Washington "sure :;nough" cream. ..;... --..',.'.•. THE LUNCH WAS MISSED. " ' She stood the torture of long-contin . ued handshaking here admirably,though it raised some big blisters on her hands. She was pretty well worn out when she left at midnight on the train for home. She had just come from the big dinner given to the president by the Historical Society of Pennsylvania and other learned bodies. While her husband and the other guests on the floor were dis cussing a superb menu she and a coterie of other ladies looked on from the Prince of Wales' box, and had nothing more filling than the substance of many laudatory speeches. She counted, how ever, on a good solid luncheon on the way home, as an order had been left at a fashionable hotel near by for some thing uncommonly good. As she was seated in her compartment of the draw ing-room car that President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania Railroad company, had placed at her disposal, and the train was about to start, the French head waiter from the hotel came in with his face as sad looking as a figure on a tombstone. ; "Madame," he explained; "madame, something terrible has happened—! very terrible!'' "What?" asked the president's wife, in alarm, her face beginning to pale. "You remember the luncheon?" . "Well?" . "We came with it here too soon. There was no fire anywhere, and . we were forbidded to make one for fear of filling the depot with smoke, and so rendering it objectionable to your nos trils, madame." "Yes." "Aud so we sent it back to the hotel to keep it warm. My waiters, who have just come from the hotel with wraps for some of the ladies, were not informed, and so they have left the luncheon behind." "O. it is nothing," answered Mrs. Cleveland, with the spirit of a martyr. "We shall manage to get along. But, dear me, I am hungry!" * "You will never forgive us,madame?" "I forgive you now. Put is there really nothing to eat on this car?" . "Nothing, madame." • "Nothing?" "Except, madame, some bread." "Bread? Then we are all right.'.' .. "And some butter, madame." "Good!" "And some tomatoes. We intended . them for salad." .... "Tomatoes? Why, we revel in lux -1 ury!" . Off the train started, and for half an .hour afterwards, apparently, the first , lady of the, land gaily munched bread ' , and butter and raw tomatoes. v She ex .. pressed only one regret— was no ( salt for the tomatoes. i. " ;i) her LADY'S PICTUKES. w By the way, you know Mrs. Cleveland o says that she will not have another pho tograph taken while she is mistress of the White house. She has been very • gracious about her pictures hitherto, but the way in which they have been used to adorn and advertise every kind • i of merchandise has excited her aver ' sion. She showed this in an amusing way in town, though, as it tinned out, i slit- couldn't help herself, and had to >' - give in to the artist once more. ' As she c was looking at the military parade from '•■ the balcony of her hotel, she caught sight of a newspaper artist on the pave ment below, and opposite, busy sketch ing her beautiful self. She nudged a companion, and slowly i lifted a news paper up so as completely to screen her face. The artist understood the situa tion in an instant, and good-naturedly put up his pencil and pad. In a mo ment or two, either reconsidering her first purpose or understanding from her companion the artist's smiling agree ment with her intention, and desiring to reward it, she removed the paper and gave the artist an opportunity to resume his work and get an excellent sketch of her. -+:-:r; r .> It you want to hire a -m^ni^ tenement read The Globe mJ^___W "Want" Columns.

SUNDRY REASONS ADVANCED On Subjects Which May Be of Vital Im portance to the Citizen-A Remark able and Unwarranted Suit. • WITH ONE ACCORD. A Visitor to the West Hotel Makes the Acquaintance of a Stranger. On a recent visit to the West hotel the writer called at the office of Dr. J. Cresap McCoy, and finding at least a dozen people in waiting for treatment, quietly took a seat to await his turn, time hanging rather long, as is usual when a person is obliged to wait. Among the number of people present was Mr. John C. Flynn, who has been treated for nearly three months for lung trouble. Mr. Flynn is very enthusiastic for the doctor, who, he.says, saved him from an early grave. "1 had been doc toring with one of the best physicians in Minneapolis for some time prior to visiting this office," said he, "and in place of getting better I was continually growing worse. I was constipated and had no appetite, could not sleep at night, had night sweats, pain -in back and head with sharp, shooting pains in shoulder. He either would not or could not tell me what my trouble was and I made up my mind to leave him. I noticed Dr. McCoy's ad vertisement in the paper on Sunday afternoon and among the first patients the doctor saw on Monday was myself. He examined me carefally and told me at once that I was suffering from lung trouble and that it - was a rather serious case. I asked him if he couldjcure me, to which he replied, '1 will not hold out any false hopes to you, but think I can help you, will give you cue- ocsi treatment Known io medical science, and if the treatment I use does not bring you out all right your chances of surviving the fall are ten to one against you.' My temperature was 5 degrees above normal. 1 had a severe cough and felt miserable all the time. I began his treatment and followed his advice to the letter, and lam not sorry that I did. either, for you see to-day I am strong and hearty "and my lungs are getting stronger every day. and I feel as well as 1 ever did, but will not give up the treatment until the doctor tells me to." "1 reside at 1218 Sixth aye. n. and will gladly inform any person who will call upon me of the condition 1 was in when 1 first visited Dr. McCoy's office and know I have improved under his care. John C. Fi.yxx." Sworn and subscribed to before me. a notary public, this 7th day of October, ISB7. Daniel B. Young. Notary Public. [seal] Hennepin county, Minnesota, ONE OF THE THOUSAND Who Made an Inquiry Before Treatment. . There are hundreds of patients who visit Dr. McCoy's offices monthly; among the number are some of the best people in Minnesota, representing all business from a practicing physcian to the common every day laborer. The question has frequently been asked of the doctor if catarrh and lung trouble was all the diseases he treated, to which the doctor replied: "No. sir! we treat all curable dis eases." "Do you cure all who treat with you?" "No, sir; we do not. But the patient is more to blame for that than we are. For instance, a person comes in for ex amination and begins treatment. They pay for one month, take treatment and medicine for a couple of weeks, or even a month, begin to feel better and in many cases do not continue to come, and thus the neglected disease returns and in the course of time they are as bad, if not worse than before beginning treatment. Thus the}- do a great in justice to themselves, and also to the doctor." "Do you guarantee a cure?" . "No sir! To guarantee a cure of any disease, or, I may say. to guarantee human life, at any time, a physician is treading on extremely uangerous grounds." "When you discharge a patient and pronounce them entirely cured, do you insure the cure to be a permanent one?" "You might as well ask your family physician to insure you against the re turn of typhoid or malaria fever, or in fact any other disease. If the proper care is not exercised and persons ex pose themselves carelessly they are just as liable to have another attack of catarrh as any other disease to which the human being is subject. Hence I say, no, sir! We guarantee nothing but to deal honestly with every person whom we treat, and to give them the very best and most beneficial treatment known to the medical scientist." .
