MINNEAPOLIS.! Additional Minneapolis on the sth Page. CURRENT COMMENT. "t Many of the local weekly papers, , which furnish the news of their own immediate localities, are enabled to live through the legal advertising they ob tain—advertising generally affecting the property in their vicinity. It is a bo nanza to them and without it their finances might become crippled. The Journal is advocating the passage of an act authorize hg the district court to name a paper, which shall be the only legal medium for such advertisements, and so advocating, roasts the, weekly papers severely. There is little in its argument. * * "Ther met as men who meet in pain And part in doubtful hope again." That is not precisely the way Scott puts it, but it amply expresses the sen timent that laigely abounded at yester day's meeting of the council. It was the last assembly of the old members, and there was something intensely pa thetic in the glances cast about them, as though to charge their memories for the last time with scenes which for years had been familiar. If eyes had an "unusual gleam of moisture or voices held a faint sus picion of tears, the occasion bore its own excuse. Partings are always pain ful, but when death causes the separa tion, the pangs are doubly hard to en dure. And this is death— political death —for most of the council. Some of the members will bob up again in two years, and some may even resume their seats, but for a majority, oblivion yawns. Councils may come and alder men may go. but years will have shown their blessings and their blights over the city before such another aggrega tion will be assembled. * » It seem to be a very well settled fact that Lev. W.T. Chase, of -the First Baptist church, will leave Minneapolis, but it is impossible to find a member of his flock Who will say otherwise than that he severs his connection by ins own free will. Dr. Chase, has been a very rigid Sabbatarian and has vigorously de nounced the frivolities of life, includ ing dancing, parties, theaters, etc. He lias also lost no opportunity of pitching into the Sunday papers. A report has gained credence that his course in these matters does not meet the cordial ap proval of many of his parishoners, but if this is true, no member of the church will aflirm it. Delicate health of his wife is given out as the reason for the move. # ** The new council seems to be an un grateful set of men. l-'oTir-tit'ths of them owed their election to the solid support of the Scandinavians, and yet not a single Scandinavian gets an oftice. But one Scandinavian was mentioneu, and be was knocked over to give place to a colored man. The naturalized element of our citizenship was utterly ignored. The Irish-Americans got nothing, and the Germans got less. The new council seems to have Know-Nothingisui very plainly stamped on its 'scutcheon. ALL SORTS. if is said the friends of R. D, Russell are quietly moving heaven Jmd earth to induce the new council to adopt a more liberal financial policy in the salary line. A new firm will assume control of the city hall on .lan. 7. K. E. Trenchment & K. 17. Form is the style of the firm. The (lying moments of the old coun cil were cheered and Illumined by the eloquence of that Uambetta of the body, Aid. L'Herault. In this era of investigation it is rather peculiar that the astute board of police commissioners should be so anxious to overlook a serious aribndal concerning a captain of the police force, especially when that individual has expressed himself as desiring an investigation in justice to himselß The company that has been formed to keep the sidewalks clear of snow should be changed into a street sprinkling as sociation. Subscribers to the Weadon overcoat fund are notified that the second assess ment is due. and that at the next meet ing a proposition to increase the capital stock and limit of indebtedness will be considered. The "new deal" editor of the Trill ium seems to be. laboring under the im pression that some one has turned a card from the bottom Police Surgeon Kelly— The city ought to pay a health officer 15.060 a year, compel] him to pass a right examination us to his ability to carefully diagnose disease, and to give his entire attention to the discharge of the duties of the office' - , John Swift— Tin- new council has not given an office to an Irishman, a Ger man nor a Scandinavian, and 1 am cred itably informed that seventeen of its members are anti-Catholics. I am afraid the Kepublican party in Minne apolis will go to smash at the next election. THE MEADER WHEAT CASE. All Interesting Criminal Trial Now in Progress. The trial of the case against W. F. Meader, the well-known elevator and commission man, was begun yesterday morning before Judge Lochren. Meader was indicted for selling 5,000 bushels of wheat belonging to William Powell, which was stored in his ele vator at, Northfield. The first witness examined was Powell, who produced the storage receipt or certificate dated at Northfield, June 18, 1888, and which showed thai be had 5.000 bushels of wheat in store iv Header's elevator. lie stated that when he wished to dispose Of the wheat he found that it had been sold, and that the elevator was empty. A. B. Tied way. the superintendent of the elevator, was then sworn, and spent the balance of the day explaining the way in which the elevator was run, the amount of wheat which had been pur chased, and the amount received for storage, and to whom, and by whose orders wheat had been shipped. The trial will be resumed Monday. ALL-AROUND ROASTS. Wheat Got Ono and Mr. Pillsbury the Other. A. N. Merrick, counsel for the plaintiff in the case of the administrator of Gustave Brown, deceased, against the Minneapolis Union Elevator company, in summing up the case to the jury took occasion to severely roast Charles A. Pillsbury, one of the defendants. He said there was not the least excuse for putting men to work in such a death trap as was done when the wheat was being removed from the ruins of the St. Anthony elevator, and where, by the falling of a weak and bulging wall. along side of which a very fierce and hot fire was and bad been raging for thirteen days, and against which thou sands of bushels of wheat were resting, six men were killed, it was time some thing was done toward making their employers do something for their wid ows and children. The case will be given to the jury this morning. Death of Martin Ferrant. A telegram received by John 1. Black yesterday announces the death at Lux emborg, Germany, of Martin Ferrant, an old resident of Minneapolis. He died on Tuesday last. Mr. Ferrant came to minueapolis in 1552. and has been identified with many Minneapolis enterprises. When he died his son Einil. and Mrs. John Black and her daughter were with him. He leaves a valuable estate, which Emil Ferrant will probably inherit. ■** "The Burlington's" Half-fare permit for clergymen for 1880 is available over the whole system being good to all Nebraska and Col orado points, including Denver. If ministers desiring these permits will call upon Mr. Charles Thompson, city ticket agent, corner of Third and Rob ert, he will take pleasure in supplying them. LAST OF THE FAMOUS. ! The CDuacU Gees Through Its Last Reg ular Meeting. > --• L'HERAULT IS ON DECK. Charge of Crookedness in City Insur ance— Rinker Com mittees. The Democratic aldermen endeavored hard to look pleasant at the council meeting yesterday, but, try as they would, a spirit of sadness pervaded the room. The retiring aldermen were not at all jolly, though they tried hard to be, and the sly grins shot at them by some of the more successful ones did not help -matters any. This was the last regu lar meeting of the "ins," and they will hereafter be the "outs." The Repub licans were scarcely any better off, as of their number all but four were rele gated to the rear and to obscurity. CAUGHT A COON. Aid. I/Herault Charges Fraud in City Insurance. The committee on public grounds and buildings reported thats3s,ooo insurance had been placed on the city hall build ing. Aid. L'Herault charged that the committee had allowed certain insur ance companies to get the insurance at 3 per cent, when the same amount of insurance could have been obtained at 2 per cent. Certain members of the com mittee, the alderman said, had entered into a conspiracy with certain insurance companies to let the insurance at 3 per cent, and then divide the surplus over 2 per cent. Aid. ilanscom, of the committee, re plied that he could not see why Aid. L'Herault had his head up, as there was nothing in the matter that the com mittee desired to keep dark. When the committee met no bids lower than 3 per cent had been received. " I be handsome alderman from the First ward seems to know all about in surance matters as well as sewers," re marked Alderman Downs, another member of the committee. "His in sinuations are absolutely false, and Al derman L'Herault knows it. 1 will admit that the rates charged are too high, but all I care to say is that L'Her ault is interested in placing this insur ance himself." ';•'?: A motion to lay the* report on the table and re-advertise for new bids was lost. Aldermah L'Herault again took the floor and made a supposed eloquent speech, in which he d eclated that the rates should not be adopted for longer than one month, at the outside. He moved that the different policies be can celed at the end of one month and that bids hi; advertised for, tor the reason that all the companies which had se cured contracts had formed a pool and agreed to put the premium at 3 per cent, fault's motion was secOilued, but lost when it came to a vote. A mo tion to accept the report and place it on file was adopted. ~ : »?'7' HE'S ALL RIGHT. "We Aldermans" Rally Round Rinker as One Man. The special committee appointed to investigate the Fifth street north sewer, reported that the charges, that the sewer was baaly constructed and poor material used, were wholly untrue. The committee further reported that the sewer had been constructed in the best possible manner, and that the "good horse sense" of the men having the work in charge had been duly* demonstrated. 7 *v 7 * "Do 1 understand," asked Aid. L'Herault, "that posts were put into the sewer to hold up the brick work? 1 want an answer from the committee." Aid. Downs replied to Aid. L'Her ault, but his reply did not suit the alder man from the First ward, who sought further information in regard to the matter. He gently insinuated that Aid. Downs knew nothing about sewers. * 1 am glad to bear Aid. L'Herault's expert testimony," replied Downs, "and 1 wish that if he knew so much about the matter that he had come before the investigating committee and told us what he knew." "The gentleman from the Fifth ward knows that there was something wrong with the sewer, or it would not have been supported from the middle," was L'Herault's parting shot. The report was adopted, L'Herault alone object ing. . The committee appointed to investi gate the charges made by Engineer Kinker that certain aldermen took men into saloons from the sewer and used undue influence in getting men posi tions on the works, reported that they had found the. charges true, and recom mended that all aldermen be more care ful in the future. This report was also adopted. MINOR MATTERS. What the City Clerk Gets—Vari ous Business Proceedings. City Clerk Cornman sent in a report showing the moneys received by his oflice during the past year, as follows: Plumber's licenses, dog licenses, etc., 15,528; fees received up to Dec. 15, 12,000.91; births and deaths, $1,628.50; total, 13.629.41 : grand total. $9, 156.41. The committee on sewers made a re port recommending that the city de mand an indemnifying bond from the owners of the Green ditching machine, now in use in the construction ol sew ers, as it was charged that it was an in fringement on a patent owned by D. S. White. The report was adopted. The committee having in charge the matter of Judson N. Cross' bill against the city for services rendered in the railway crossing case reported in favor of paying him $1,000 in full settlement. This was passed by a unanimous vote. The original bill sent in by Capt. Cross was for $2,000. Chief Engineer Stetson, of the fire department sent in a report stating that there were no engine houses in the Thirteenth ward, but that the property there was fully protected by the appa ratus in adjoining wards. Plats of Macfee & Warnock's fourth addition. Macfee's re-arrangement of lots in block 13, Lake of the Isles and Harrison's Park were adopted. The regents of the State University asked the council to locate the city hospital near the university company. The matter was referred to the com mittee on health and hospitals. Building Inspector Baumau sent in a letter stating that he understood that some of the merchants around the city were trying to get the . building ordi nance relating to elevators modified so that they could run their elevators as they pleased. The inspector asded that the ordinance be not changed. The letter was received and placed on file. Bills to the amount of 1351,146.1)2 were read and ordered paid. * The old claim of Kobinson & Mead for services rendered the police com mission was brought up again, but not allowed. A warrant was ordered drawn in favor of Frank Collins for $600 for land taken in IST:> for street improvements in the Eleventh ward. On motion of Aid. Staft the new Franklin avenue bridge was accepted bvthecit* "The ordinance granting the Glenwood aud the Inglewood Spring Water com panies the right to lay water pipe in certain streets. A motion to pass the ordinance under suspension of the rules drew out a somewhat animated discus sion. The motion was lost, and "the ordinance had its first reading, and laid over under the rules. On motion of Aid. Downs. City Engi neer Kinker was instructed to adopt a system of flushing the small sewers during the winter months. The council then adjourned for one week. .

AX ACTIVE PARDON That ; Reached Here Before the Prisoner Was Committed— Court Notes. 77*7*, About 10 o'clock yesterday, forenoon Dr. John P. Hanson, who was convicted last week of selling liquor at his drug store on Cedar avenue without hav ing taken out a liquor license, was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 and the "■osts of prosecution, and to also serve thirty days' imprisonment in the county ja 1. A little after 4 o'clock, however, his attorney, Lars Rand, arrived with a pardon from Gov. McGill, and Dr. Han son was liberated. George Clark, who was indicted with Eugene A. Bassett for stealing a span of horses and a buggy from Thomas Gavin, pleaded guilty to an indictment for grand larceny 'in the first degree. He was sentenced "to serve three years and six months in state's prison. The case of George E. Beach, indicted for bigamy, was set for trial Jan. 15. Edward Groesbeck has begun an ac tion against Cora B. Mattison et el. to have a mortgage for $1,040 foreclosed on lot 6, block 9, Wright's addition. Patterson & Dickerson have begun an action against Gershom 1... Percy to re cover $058.60 for merchandise sold. Nienaber & Co. have begun an action against D. McVean & Sou to recover $282.68 on two promissory notes. Judge Young was engaged yesterday in hearing the appeal from the decision of the judge of probate in the matter of the settlement of the estate of Henry B. Chase. The question of the widow's dower in the homestead, situated near the corner of Portland avenue and Sev enteenth street, appears to be the. mat ter in controversy. A CONSTITUTIONAL POINT. Shall County Towns Support Their Own Paupers? A writ of mandamus was issued by Judge Hicks yesterday at the instance of Frank Greeniger, town treasurer of the township of Hassan, commanding Treasurer James to pay a town order for $272.87. The county treasurer claims that all the money which was paid into his hands to be applied to the credit of Hassan township has been turned over to the board of county commissioners in pay ment for the board of a pauper. Who was Bent to the county poor farm from Hassan township. The town treasurer, however, claims that the local tax was levied for town improvements, and that the county treasurer has no right to re fuse to pay orders which were drawn in payment of such improvements. He claims that the law making each town support its own paupers is unconstitu tional and that they should be sup ported by the county. The matter will probably be heard to-day at special term. USED HER OWN NAME. Mrs. Beach Shows Her Certificate —Claim of Blackmail. The Beach bigamy case is kept alive in the public mind principally by Beach's continued and confident as sertions that it is a scheme of black mail throughout. Yesterday after noon he and his. wife called at , the GLOBE office, and producing a document, the lady said: "I want to correct all stories about my having been married under an assumed name. Here is the certificate." She banded over a formal marriage certificate setting forth that at Hudson, Wis., on Feb. 7, 1887, George E. Beach and Uetta S. Graham were married by Key. S. W.Truesdale, in the presence of J. C. and Sarah E. Price. This seemed all right, and Mrs. Beach went on to tell of her difficulties with her neighbor Gaylord, and its possible connection with this case. "I've got a letter here," said Mr. Beach, "which was written to me by George A. Pillsbury before this matter came out. He knew about it and " "I wouldn't talk about that," inter posed his wife, and Mr. Beach accord ingly changed the subject. He claimed that this entire affair was gotten up for the purpose of injuring his lead pipe manufacturing plan and that the Indict ment was sprung on him the day before lie was to meet »the company of local capitalists. Beach is confident not only of proving his own innocence, but of ax posing sonic very questionable proceed ings on the part of some Eastern pipe firms. _^^_^_ ANCESTRAL. AMENITIES. Congrcgationalists Pleasantly Cel ebrate Forefathers' Day. Yesterday wal "Forefathers' Day." and the Congregational club celebrated the event by a pleasant entertainment at the First Congregational church in the evening. This was the eleventh an nual meeting of the club, and the occa sion also marked the 100 th meeting of the club. There was a delightful sup per served in the parlor of the church between 6 and 7:30 o'clock, after which some of the gentlemen who organized the club spoke feelingly of the past. The subject, "Pilgrim and Puritan.'" was ably discussed in the evening un der the following heads: "William Bradford: Founding a Government." A.M.Keith: "John Endicott: Early Jurisprudence," A. H. Young; "Pris cilla: Social Life," Miss M.J.Evans, Northfield; "William Brewster: Re ligious Life," Rev. Norman Seaver. D. D., St. Paul; "John Robinson: Pilgrim and Puritan in History," President Cy rus Northrop, LL. D. All in all the club never held a more pleasant or in structive meeting. FREEMAN GIVES REASONS For the Millers' Action, But Few Are Willing to Be Satisfied. Discussion is still active and heated among the millers and grain men over the action of the recent convention of millers. The bull faction on change still insist the shut down was a scheme to bear down wheat, but the millers who were interested strenuously deny such a thing. A. A. Freeman, the prominent New York flour man and miller, was in the city yesterday, and when he went on 'change he was caught and questioned on all hands. He - de nied concisely that any wheat market move was in contempla tion, said he had no short wheat and nothing to gain in depreciating val ues of wheat excepting to bring about natural conditions once more. He in sisted that through the unnaturally high prices of wheat in the Northwest spring wheat millers had lost two-fifths of their legitimate trade. Winter wheat was relatively cheaper than spring, and • the winter wheat millers had availed themselves of the position to replace spring wheat flour with their produc tions. He was long of cash wheat and flour on hand equal to any one in the trade, as compared with the capacity of his mills. The spring wheat millers could not go on against so great odds. It was purely a question of time when the surgical operation should be per formed, and he thought it better to per form it now than continue the unnat ural conditions longer. The bulls refuse to be satisfied with the situation on the reasons set forth, and that a depression of breadstuffs was the object to be reached they all * agreed. ? The Market Record declares : that when wheat declined the day after the convention" the *: effect was most probably what was desired. . It . contin ues: ; "The most notable thing about ; the convention was that it decked -J2 eiaring colors figures expressing -the large stocks of flour held in the coun try. Even Freeman, the leader in all late movements to curtail production, is reported as publishing there a state ment that stocks of flour in New York * and Brooklyn were sufficient - for four months' consumption." - • According to Bradstreets, the stocks • in New York Dec. 1 were 254,317 bar rels, the correctness of which has not ' been 7 questioned. The average daily consumption of flour in New York : and country supplied from New York is no less that 10,000 barrels, and exports reach nearly as much, making some 20, --000 barrels daily drawn from stocks there. At that rate the 254,317 barrels in store would last just two and: one half weeks, instead* of four months, as stated by Freeman. Stocks of .flour in sight in this country are about 120,000 barrels smaller than a year ago, and about the same amount smaller than two years ago. . - 7 Why did not Mr. Freeman in either of those years hitch the millers of this country to the tail of his kite while he wrote on the heavens his wonderful figures? Was it not because he was long of wheat in those years and short of it this year? The only result of these shut down movements by associated action has been|to depreciate millers' property, and the only reasonable presumption for such action is that the leaders are speculating on the short side of wheat, arid the others are their dupes.- Mills will be operated wheu it pays to operate them, and shut down by individual ac tion when that pays better. They will be operated no differently now. But the prime object of the convention was effected— breadstuffs were depreciated An Affectionate Thief. A Mrs. Olson, residing on Fourth ave nue south, had a somewhat exciting ex perience last evening. She was coming up Washington . avenue with her arms full of packages, when she was seized from behind by a man who threw his arms around her waist and tried to take her pocketbook. which she cariied in her left hand. Breaking away from the fellow, she ran into a store and had an officer called. Mrs. Olson saw a man whom she thought was the man who had attempted to rob her, but when he was taken to . police headquarters he proved that it could not have been him, so he was allowed to go. Women Shoplifters. The 'crowded condition of the various stores affords a great field for shoplift ers, and every store where the goods are displayed on the counters have suf fered to considerable extent. The larger part of the shoplifters are women, and thus far it has proved a difficult matter to detect them. One came to grief at the Glass block store yesterday. During the afternoon a well dressed lady, the wife of a well-known business man, was detected in secret ing a number of small articles in one of SCI pocket?. She was arrested, but set ed with the firm. ' : Our Big Public Building. V" The permit for the erection of the new court house and city hall building, to cost $2,000,000, was taken out by the commission yesterday afternoon. The building is described as five stories high, fire proof, 507x307 feet, walls luo; feet high, and a tower 850 feet high. This brings the total building permits value for the year up to $9,000,000. •; 'Raised the, Limit. The stockholders of the Minneapolis Electro Matrix company representing: two-thirds of the stock issued, the bal ance of which is held by* Cincinnati and Boston parties, held a meeting yester day morning, at which it was decided to increase the capital stock from 1,000,000 to $10,000,000.

Catarrh Is a complaint which affects nearly every * body more or less. | It originates in a cold, er succession of colds, combined with impure blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose, tickling in the throat, offensive breath, pain over and between the eyes, ringing and bursting noises in the ears, are the more common symptoms. " Catarrh is cured by Hood's Sarsaparilla, which strikes directly at its cause by removing all impurities from the blood, building up the diseased tissues and giving healthy tone to the whole system. _ "For several years I have been troubled with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca tarrh. I took Hood's Sarsaparilla with the very best results. It cured me of that con tinual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up feeling.
