MINNEAPOLIS. AX IXGEXIOUS INVENTION. A. gentleman who lives on the out skirts of Minneapolis has hit upon a plan of warding off visits from tramps by an ingenious device. lie has pro vided his premises with an immense wood pile, which can be seen from a distance. The hungry hobo, when he approaches with a request for pie and cake, invariably takes a look at the wood pile and passes on to the next house, which has no frowning pile of four-foot maple. There is no patent on the in vention, and it can be used without fear of prosecution for infringement. HOLMAN VS. HOLMAN. "I want to say that there is not a news paper in the country in which the re sults of prohibition have been correctly reported." "It is necessary that we should thunder ftcaiu and again the A, B, C of prohibi tion. The people can't be convinced by abusing them and impugning their in tegrity." Rev. F. O. Uolman at the prohibition convention. Perhaps Mr. Swivel Gun Holman, who mistakes himself for a thunderer, will bear in mind that newspapers, whose proprietors and writers belong to the people, can't be convinced either by abusing them or impugning their integ rity. There is a good deal for the rabid, cock-sure-of-victory prohibitionist to chew on in the two quotations from the words of the brilliant young Methodist preacher, who always hits from the shoulder, but who is not yet a Hercules of debate. WEDDING UtiLLS. The residence of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Merrick, on Nicollet avenue, was the scene of an exceedingly pleasant wed ding last evening, when their daughter. Miss Lilla C, was wedded to Thomas Yeatman. associate editor of the Post-Dispatch, ot St. Louis. The ceremony was performed by Rev. Dr. Walls, of St. Mark's church, in the presence of nearly 200 guests. The bride was accompanied by Miss Alice Gale, of Minneapolis, while Pope Yeat inan, brother of the groom, acted as best man.

The Journal's effort to legislate Aid. Blicliieldt out of office was rather a boomerang, but there is no occasion to yell liar and horsethief in the Journal's trail. It would take a Chicago de tective to trace some of the streets of Minneapolis to their legitimate end, and the Journal has no Chicago detectives on its staff, though it main tains a Philadelphia lawyer.

Accused of Betraying His Con stituents—The People Ex cited. The Single Tax League Is Caustic in Its Re marks. Some Spicy Stories About the Police Commission Get ting 1 Out. P About 400 indignant citizens of North Minneapolis met in an open air meet ing last night at the corner of Thirty second avenue north and Emerson. The purpose of the meeting was to roast Alderman Bursell toe voting against the Anderson & Douglas fran chise. Every man present seemed to have an individual and special grievance against the alderman. E. M. Bartlett. the chairman of the im provement association, called the meet ing to order, and in stating its object said that they had a right to demand that their aldermen carry out their wishes, that they had held a meeting a week ago and expressed their opinion to Mr Bursell, and that he had disre garded it. "'He thought that we were ignorant and didn't know as much as he did about that franchise," remarked the chairman, sarcastically. He said that hcbelieved that the majority report of the council committee on railways was made in Secretary Goodrieh's office. When Mr. Bartlett took his seat the call of "Bursell! Bursell!" rent the night air for several minutes. "He's down town," observed some one. "He won't put in an appearance here," said another. Then there were several minutes con sumed In little second testimonials on the subject of Aid. Bursell, and they pretty well used up their subject. Aid. Billings was called on, but refused to speak. Aid. Keeves made a lively speech that called storms of applause from his hear ers. He said: "People change like a weathercock shifting in the wind. The trouble with the aldermen is that in stead of being lulled by a kindly breeze from heaven they have been struck by a cyclone from Lowry hill. O. A. Pray made a speech and intro duced the following resolutions, which were adopted. Whereas. Aid. W. J. Russell, of the Tenth ward, has, by the castiug of his vote against the Anderson & Douglas franchise, ignored and willfully misrepresented the express wish of his "constituents, tnereny causing much detriment to the Tenth ward and the city ; therefore, be it liesolved, That we, his constituents, in open meeting assembled, <lemandDhls imme dinte reniguaiioii of the office of alderman of the Tenth ward; and be it further Resolved. That we have lost all confidence in him and regret more than words can ex press that we elected him to the office which he has dishonored : and that by his act he has merited and doe* now receive )he emphatic condemnation of his constituents. E. A. Perkins, E. M. Bartley, D. C. Handy and E. Johnson were appointed as a committee to present the resolu tions to Alderman Bursell. A motion thanking Aldermen Reeves and Billings for their stand on the fran chise question was carried. The meeting adjourned, and the men began forming inline to march down to call on their prodigal alderman, but they were persuaded to let the commit tee do the work. The committee failed to find the alderman at home, and will go to see him again to-night. After calling the reverend alderman many bad names the crowd dispersed. THE HENRY GEORGITES. Single Tax People Talk About Street Railways. There was a well-attended meeting of the Single Tax league at the Single Tax club rooms in the Cyclo rama building last evening, at which the street car franchise mat er was warmly discussed. The city council, individually and collect ively, were very fortunate in not being present, as their nets and motives were severely criticised. H. B. Marten, John McGnrk, Dr. Fin negan and others spske on the question of what was best for the people, and all opposed the granting of exclusive franchises under any circumstances, or the granting of franchises at all without a proper re turn from the grantee to the people. 11. B. Martin spoke at some length. "Pre supposing the inability of the city to raise funds for the building of roads," said he, "I would be in fa vor of selling the franchise to the highest bidder, but the city can and should raise funds to build all car lines necessary for municipal and suburban transportation." After Mr. Marten's remarks a series of resolutions setting forth the following plan as the one fav ored by the single tax league. The sub stance of them was that the city should build a line to any point when a major ity of the holders of property in that section petitioned for it, and that the cost of building it should be assessed on the abutting property as benefits. The right or franchise to run cars should be auctioned off to the highest bidder every ten years, the successful bidder to run the cars at a rate of fare as low as might be found possible." After these resolutions had been passed Mr. Marten introduced a resolution setting forth as the belief of the club that, inasmuch as the very homes of the poor and the belongings of the widow are taxed the city should assess an arbitrary tax of 5 per cent on the value of the Lowry franchise estimated at $4,000,000, as this immensely valuable privilege had been granted gratis to the people whom it has made rich. This also was possed. AGAINST EGE AND OSWALD. A Complicated Case in the Dis trict Court. James H. Ege and J. C. Oswald were ordered yesterday to come before tiie court on Aug. 3 and show cause why an order should not be issued restraining them from taking possession of goods belonging to Robert E. Bader. Some time ago Sheriff Ege seized under a writ of attachment the property of Bader, in an action in which J. C. Oswald was plaintiff. The attachment was to secure 87")0 and was subject to a mortgage executed by J. K. O'Brien. Bader replevied the goods, but they were re-bonded by the sheriff. A few days later O'Brien assigned and the sheriff abandoned possession. Oswald then demanded possession, claiming that there was a defect in the mortgage ac the time the goods were first seized. RAILROAD PROPERTY. The Taxing of the Lafayette Raises an Important Point. According to the decision of Judge Smith, J. J. Hill, of the Manitoba, will have to pay taxes on his mammoth Hotel Lafayette, at Minnetonka beach. Two or three suits regarding the mat ter have been pending in the district court for several years, and at last a de cision has been rendered. It is quite an important one to the railway com pany as well as to the state, as it estab lishes a precedent which may force all the railways in the state to pay taxes on property heretofore exempt. The Manitoba people claimed that the Hotel Lafayette, under a provision in their charter, was a part of the railroad, THE SAINT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 24, 1889. being erected adjacent to their right of way and conducted for the benefit of their patrons in transit, and therefore exempt from taxation. County Attor ney Jamison, however, maintained that the hotel was not a necessary aupur tenance to the railroad, but an inde pendent enterprise, and that, as the company's charter simply exempted property used in operating the road, the hotel was taxable. Mr. Jamison looks upon the decision as an important one, as it will result in the taxation of other property owned by the company at Minnetonka Beach, as well as else where. A HOLY CALM. Harmony Prevails in the Police Department by Sheer Avoirdu pois. The alliance offensive and defensive of Mayor Babb and Police Commissioner Guile "goes," and it is understood that harmony has been restored in the po lice department, and is to remain re stored. The mayor has exhibited con siderable hostility towards Commis sioner Gjertsen of late, and the follow ing remark, which is a rather pointed one for one pure and high-minded Re publican to make about another, 16 at tributed to his honor by an evening paper: As to the policy of the department toward the "madames," Gjertsen, he (the mayor) says, has shown considerable anxiety in this difsctiou, and has advocated their arrest. The mayor does not know why, but says that following the advent of King upon the de tective force, one of the First street places was raided. It was King who made the ar rest Wlien the "madam" and inmates were arraigned in the municipal court. Henry P. Gjertsen, a brother of trie commissioner, and "Juage" Rand appeared as their attorneys. The lawyers received something like $125 or $150 for fees from their frail clients. The mayor offers no further explanation tor this Another story connecting Commis sioner Gjertsen with the "madams," through the medium of Lewis C. Gjert sen, his brother. The latter is an at torney, and undertook the collection of a bill against Hattie Brush, a well known First street proprietress. In order to secure prompt payment he sent her the following letter, it is charged, which looks like a threat to use his "in flooence:" Madame— will remember that I called upon you not long ago regarding a certain debt. Now you know that the debt is an honest one and that you ought to pay it. I want to say now that if you do not settle this matter before next Monday at 4 p. m. I shall make it my business to have every house of ill-fame on First street "pulled." The commission will meet again Fri day to ratify the restoration of "har mony." as Mayor Babb expects to be absent from the city next Monday. In spector Hall is to be rather severely dis ciplined for not bowing the knee more submissively to Supt. Brackett, and is to be reduced to patrolman and made to don the brass buttons again on a beat. Commissioner Guile does not seem to fear the charges made against him by Dr. E. S. Kelly, and calls for investiga tion in no uncertain tone, as the follow ing open letter shows: To itobert Jamison. Esq., as County A torney of Hennepin County— Sir: A week has elapsed since I made a demand upon you to investigate certain charges of corruption in office as police commissioner of the city of Minneapolis, made by the Sun day Tribune of July 14, 1889, to which I have not yet received an answer. I dislike to have the matter ot investigation deferred until the sitting of the grand jury in Sep tember, but if the proper examination can not be made before that time, I will wait, in the expectation that you will then present the matter to the jury at its sitting. On the other hand, I request you to proceed at once, under section 10 of an act passed by the leg islature at its last session, entitled "An act to amend the charter of the city of Minneapolis in respect to appointment of police commis sioners and control of the police," in which section it is provided that a trial may be hart upon a presentation of the charges by not less than ten freeholders of the city of Min neapolis. If you are not able to secure the requisite signatures, 1 will gladly assist you, and will do all in my power to bring about such a trial as is provided for in section 10. William R. Guile. Dated July 23. 1889. AN ALLGED NUISANCE. A Suburban Hog Pen Causing Much Complaint. Residents in the neighboraood of the city limits beyond Minnehaha are com plaining about the condition of a huge hog pen kept by one Roscoe Cummings. The pen is built on a piece of ground sloping down into the water and having three sections, one among the mud and lilly pads, one on the bank in the sun and one above in the shade of trees and bushes. That is all right, but the hogs are fed on the refuse from slaughter houses, and the smell from the place is said to be horribly nauseating, and the people who have seen it believe that the flesh of swine fattened in this manner is en tirely unfit for food. Many of the hogs die, and, so the neighbors aver, the live ones are allowed to feed on the car casses of the dead. A BROKEN LEG. A Thirteen- Boy Falls Into a Wheel Pit. Charlie Coleman, a thirteen-year-old lad living at .2534 Quincy street north east, fell into the wheel pit at the Glenn Boiler works building yesterday fore noon and broke his left leg above the knee, besides receiving painful injuries about the head. He was taken home in the patrol wagon and given surgical attendance. The boy may recover, but his escape from instant death is almost miraculous, as the great wheel was re volving with fearful speed when the little fellow took his perilous fall. Registered Pharmacists. The state board of pharmacy held its regular quarterly examination at the capital Tuesday, the Kith inst., thirty six candidates being present. Yester day the board met at the office of the secretary in the Lumber Exchange, Minneapolis, and voted to issue certifi cates of registration to the following, who had passed a successful examina tion: Lewis A. Brown, Andrew P. Brobeck, William P. Becker, Ellard Bowling, Josiah I. Davis, James Foley, Truman Griffen, Frank M. Gueirvits, William 0. Geisenheyner, Bruno Hock ert, James W. Kamrar, Barney Katzky, Shubel M. Moulton, George 11. Nelson, Arthur L. Pease. Joe A. Poetz, Robert C. Steele, William H. Sweet, Charles F. Sweet, Adolph Stierle Jr., John Turge, Charles Levens Jr., John M. Gayner. ••She's a Corker." Maggie Anderson, whose real name is concealed under a host of aliases, but who is well known in Southtown as the female cowboy, was arrested Mon day night for fast driving, and arraigned yesterday. After hearing the evidence in the case Judge Mahouey concluded that it would be well to give Maggie thirty days to get over her hurry at the city boarding house on Shingle creek. Don't Want to Pay Taxes. D. C. Bell and W. A. Mahoney, who own the land leased to the Bennett seminary, claim it is exempt from taxa tion as school property, and seek to avoid the payment of taxes amounting to 5611.99. The county attorney claims the land is not school property within the meaning of the statute. The case was argued before Judge Hooker yes terday, and taken under advisement. The Equalizers. The board of equalization was busy all day yesterday with se feral minor matters of no interest to the public. The board will finish the work and be ready to adjourn sine die next Tuesday. -•- Lake Minnetonka Trains Not Taken Off By the Minneapolis & St. Louis Rail way, which continues to serve the peo ple of the south shore by six trains each way daily.

THE PROHIBITIONISTS Give Evidence That They Are Not Entirely Dead Yet. Their State Convention At Minneapolis Largely Attended. Rev. F. 0. Holman, of St. Paul, Voices the General Sentiment. The Glee Club Contest — W. W. Satterlee's Ready Wit. There was a large attendance of Pro hibitionists at the opening session of their state convention atHarmonia hall, and long before it was called to order delegates began to arrive, and contin ueed to pour in until the noon hour. From the proscenium arch ot the stage hung a banner inscribed: ( Parties, ) THE SALOOSU Politics and J-MUST GO. ( Politicians ) Huge American flags hung on the sides of the stage, and opposite, on the balcony, were the united flags of Nor way and Sweden, accompanied on either side by the emblems of the American nation. On either side of the hall was the word "Welcome," in large red let ters. A dim light from two large cir cular windows above, presented au ani mated and busy scene. The meeting was finally called to order by Chairman Pinkham. After reading the call he spoke very encour agingly of the growth of the Prohibition party sentiment throughout the coun try and especially in the state of Min nesota. Having passed throueh the state, four times in the past four weeks and attended many conferences, he had found in every instance that Prohibi tionists were at their post. Twenty two years ago the Prohibition party started in the state of Minnesota. From a few hundred voters, 17,000 votes were cast for the Prohibition candidate for governor last fall. Nine states have, within a year and a half, come forward and recorded themselves disciples of the Prohibition idea. Since the recent non-partisan amendment elections in the East some papers have said prohibi tion was dead. This assertion is en tirely without foundation. I. Bergstrom, of Lake Crystal, was elected temporary chairman. He called upon Rev. Birch, of Wadena, to offer prayer. H. G. Neal. of St. Paul, was then elected temporary secretary. Rev. F. O. Holman, of St. Paul, was loudly called for until he made his ap pearance on the platform. He began his address by stating that his physician had forbidden him to work, but, reeling the importance of the cause, would try and give a few observations on amend ment defeats. What we want is not enthusiasm but earn est discussion; earnest statesmanship. The amendments were defeated, not the Pro hibition party. We had to meet organized capital and both old party political organiza tions. The reports of tne secular press con cerning the enforcement of prohibition in prohibition states are not to be relied upon at all. I want to say right here now, and you reporters please make a note of it, that there was not a secular daily in St. Paul and Min neapolis that can be relied udoii. An other reason why we were defeated was because we did not have votes enough. The lessons the defeat of the prohibition amendments have taught us that we have over estimated our strength. There are a great number of great and good Christian people, intelligent, well-meaning people, who believe the best way to deal with the license question, is by the liceuse system. The su preme lesson of tne defeats, lies in this one. word, Educate! In evsry church in the land are men who do not believe in the pro hibition of the liquor traffic. They must not be abused, but convinced Dy earnest, per sistant, consistant argument. You have got to make prohibitionists of men before you can make third party men of them. There is one party where men must possess principle before they can belong to it. We must insist that prohibition is the solution, the only solution of the liquor traffic (applause. l High license is the wildest political dream ever invented. The recent de feats teach the necessity of a, well organized, disci plined party "for prohibi tion. Our recent amendment defeats have taught us that the old party organizations are against us every time. We must keep ham mering away "and build up a prohibition party if it takes a hundred years. I do not believe that we will ever* get prohibition again in any state in the union on a non partisan basis. Why? Because the liquor party is organized nationally and can throw the whole power of the liquor traffic at any given time upon a state, and holtis in its hands both political parties. Not only have we got to have a prohibition party to enforce prohibition, but we have sot to have a pro hibition party to secure prohibition. We have come to a time in the history of the temper ance movement when we do not need eu tnusiasm and stirring songs, but cool, careful statesmanthip. FIVE MINUTE TALKS by prohibitionists then took place. Rev. W. W. Satterlee said: "JS on-partisan prohibition, not the Prohibition party, is buried." Rev. Powell, of Preston, Wis. ; Rev. Gorman, of Albert Lea, and Rev. David Morgan, of St. Paul, also gave short addresses. At the request of the state central committee an auditing committee was appointed. Those appointed were W. M. Lawrence, George Harrison, A. P. Peterson, C. R. Andrews and J. N. Wishart. A committee on permanent organization was appointed as follows: T. P. Frout, of Luverne; J.M.Doug lass, of Anoka; A. A. Stone, of Morris; S. J. Turnblad, of Appleton. and Rev. David Morgan, of St. Paul. The convention adjourned at noon. The W. C. T. U. of Minneapolis fur nished refreshments in rooms adjoining the hall. They did a flourishing busi ness, the prices for the meals being the moderate sum of 25 cents. Temporary Chairman Bergstrom called THE AFTERNOON SESSION of the convention to order promptly at 1:30 o'clock. The hall was soon crowded. Half-minute talks were in dulged in for about fifteen minutes on the subject: "Why I Am a Prohibi tionist?" The testimonies that followed reminded one of a Methodist love feast. They were short, crisp, enthusi astic and often wittily stated, bringing out hearty applause. At 'J o'clock" the contest between the glee clubs took place. The prizes were $25, $15 ami $10. The contestants were the Hara lineGlee club, the Clarion Club of Fer gus Falls and Mr. and Mrs. O. Bailey, of Elk River. Each club sang three tunes, and considerable rivalry became apparent among the ad-; mirers of both clubs. Mr. and Mrs. Bailey won unbounded applause, being actors as well as sing ers. The singing was soul-stirring party songs, and worked up the con vention to a fever heat of enthusiasm. The committee awarded the first prize to the Clarion Glee club of Fergus Falls, the second to the llamline Glee club, and the third to Mr. and Mrs. Bailey, of Elk River. The committee on permanent organi zation reported Hon. R. A. Taylor, of Dodge county, for chairman: Rev. J. A. Erwin, of Freeborn county, first vice president, and C. Andrews for sec retary, being unable to act, a special committee was appointed, and Tempo rary Secretary H. G. Neal was made permanent. The committee on credentials re ported 306 delegates. Messrs. George F. Wells, W. M. Law rence and C. R. Andrews were elected as a finance committee. A committee on plan of work and to nominate a state central committee was appointed by the able chairman as follows. W. W. Satterlee, of Henne pin; C. T. Langersan,of McLeod; Mrs. Julia B. Nelson, of Goodhue; Prof. T. S. Reimstadt and Rev. T. F. Allen, of Minneapolis. The following persons were chosen as members of the committee on plan of work: J. P. Finkham, John 3, Hughes, G. W. York. E. F. Buchan and Miss Tena Slson. An able paper by the chairman was on the printed programme and was read. It treated high license from au economic standpoint. Rev. David Morgan, of St. Paul, de livered a sbort but earnest address which was frequently applauded. Mr. and Mrs. O. Baily were presented with a wreath of pond lillies by the W. C. T. U. They rendered another of their many amusing Prohibition songs. THE QT7KSTIOX BOX was opened by George F. Wells, and the questions read, W. W. Satterlee answering them. This was a very in teresting part of the programme. The questions were short, right to the point, and so were the answers. One of the questions was: "What has become of the non-partisan W. C. T. U. that the Minneapolis Tribune and Journal have been trying to organize the past two months?" The answer was: "That has failed to materialize. It's like the ghosts that people for ages have been trying to materialize." Mrs. Newcome, president of the Minneapolis W. C. T. union, jumped up and said that the organization was like the five foolish virgins, and ar>- now beginning to cry out give us oil that we may give light. [Great applause]. Other spicy ques tions were: "Shall we look with favor upon non partisan campaigns?" "Has lowa constitutional, or merely statutory prohibition?" "What do you think of W. W. Satter lee as a Prohibitionist from general prin ciples?" The answer given was: "I have heard that he was weakening, but I shall endeavor to stiffen him up." "What relations to each other are the saloon keepers, the drunkard, and the man who votes for license?" "What effect has the sale of breweries to English capitalists on prohibition?" "Who ?s the author of prohibition?" "Is there any liability of the lowa law on prohibition" being repealed?" The answer was: "Yes, the Republicans intend to do so." "If a woman is competent to train a boy until he is twenty-one, why is she not competent to help make the laws for his onward government?" "Why is it that the Rhode Island legislature suspended the Australian system of voting on the eve of the sub mission of the repeal of the prohibition law?" "If the power of the liquor traffic is in the hands of the voters, who should be punished for crimes committed by men while intoxicated?" "If a man living in this country four months be capable of making laws, why is a woman who has lived here all her life and studied the laws, government and habits of the people, denied the right of voting?" THE EVENING SESSION was called to order on time with a full bouse. The Hamline Glee club trilled a song, and Rev. T. F. Allen offered praye"r. The Clarion Glee club, of Fer gus Falls, also sang. W. T. Mills, of Chicago, delivered the address of the evening. His subject was, "Where Shall We Locate the American Saloon!" His speech was spirited and humorous throughout. It was received with the wildest enthu siasm. The following in an evening paper, credited to J. P. Pinkham, does him great injustice. He said no such thing: "Thousands had been dragged from the lazar houses of shame, and woe to unite themselves wrth the movement that was dearer than all pa»-ty or all other earthly ties— the cause of prohibi tion." Considerable activity was shown in the distribution of temperance and pro hibition literature. The Lever, of Chi cago, was freely circulated and many subscriptions secured, many taking tne paper because St. John was one of the editors. The Progressive Age was also on the field, and the 1. O. G. T. scatr tered circulars. 0. Bailey, the noted singer of Elk River, is a man eighty years old. His appearance would indicate that lie was about sixty. Bishop Fitzgerald will address the convention to-day. J. H. Hector, the "Black Knight," will speak at 2 o'clock. Michael Flanning will talk with his lit tle piece of chalk, in the evening. C. N. Woodward, of St. Paul, will do the same thing at 11 o'clock this morning. To-Day's Proceedings. Opening exercises. Paper, "The Prohibi tion Club." E. L.
