Bandmaun, of Missoula Mont., placed bis Targe and elegant au tograph upon the register of the Ryan hotel yesterday. Tlie ex-actor and theatrical manager is now a prosperous farmer in Montana, owning a large ranch called Baudmann's ranch near Missoula, and if report speaks truly, has amassed more of the "filthy lucre" by raising stock and crops than he ever did by raising the enthusiasm of an audience in a theater. He stil clings to many of the traditions of the old-time actor, and wears his hair lomr, but has grown a mustache worthy of Boru bastes Forioso. Bandmann. while he achieved a certain amount of fame as an actor, was always very un popular with his brother and sister artists, and .some years ago a great sen sation was caused in London when the famous actress and beauty, Mrs. Kous by, took Bandmaufi to task over a quar rel which had broken out between them. The story of the affair is a long one. but its main feature was a scene played in real life, in which the irate actress, a whip and the member of the sterner sex took part. It has been rumored in theatrical cir cles for home months past that Band maun i.s desirous of taking a company out on the road next season, though the actor-farmer denies it, and says he will never return to the profession, for his venture some two years ago out West brought general disaste r to all con cerned, and coals of lire upon the head of its promoter. R. A. l.add, a prominent railroad man fit. in Chicago, is quartered at Mine Host MelU's holster}'. J. Wrigley, at Winnipeg, a well known business man, is staying at the Ryan, and said yesterday that he felt as if he was at home, with the mercury making an evident attempt to journey ■ through the bottom of the thermometer. It is the opinion of many that "la Edippe" is once more about to make its presence felt. A very large number of persons have been afflicted during the past month with severe influenza and thjw.it troubles similar to the complaints which proceeced "la grippe." E. 1). FriswelL. of Bridgeport, Conn., who represents a large wholesale drug house in the E;ist, was telling some friends yesterday at the Ryan that in his journey from East to West he had particularly remarked the number of eu>es of severe influenza in the various cities he had passed through, and from conversations with his customers found that very large quantities of quinine were being sold, more than is usual at this time of the year. Putting the two facts together, Mr. Friswell concluded that tue country will be visited by the dreaded Russian scourge, for the fore runners of the outbreak of a year ago have been repeated. 1). D. Franley, one of Duluth's promi nent citizens, is staying at the Mer chants', at which house are also located James M. Crisp, of Trenton, N. J., and Chatles E. Roche, of St. Louis, who are iv St. Paul on business. THE WORLD OF WORK. "A Journeyman Plumber" writes as follows: Will you kindly allow this letter space in your valuable paper in reply to a letter from Mr. Adamson, in your paper of to-day. We would not have taken any notice of it had he not made state -1 merits that were absolutely false, and that placed our association in a wrong light. Tins '•trustworthy married man" he speaks of is a cornicemaker by trade, and Mr. Adamson is paying him the princely sum of 88 per week. A plumber he would have to pay $21, and that, 1 fancy, is the secret of his trustworthiness." We, who are mak ing our living out of this trade, and who have served an apprenticeship of three or four years, working for prac tically nothing, feel that we are justi fied in using all honorable means to protect ourselves from the tinners, cor nicemakers and such like that work at their trade during the busy season and and then offer themselves as plumbers - in the winter for one-third of a plumb ers' wages. This is our grievance. We are not trying to bulldoze anybody. All we want is fair play, and when we get it there will be no trouble. The waiters' union initiated three new members last night, and received prop ositions from four others.

The receipts of inspection and licenses were $3,433, while the disburse ments, including $1,294.50 for salary of assistants, amounted to $2,194.55, leav ing the inspector for his salary $1,235.4u.

The Local Congress of Unions Throws Out Suggestions to Solons. Judge Brill Roasts a Jury in Ordering 1 a Second Trial. Tlie house that Jack built for the state of Minnesota, and which stands at the corner of AVabasha and Exchange streets, is not the handsomest state house in tlie Union, but it must serve its purpose for the present. In fact, glancing over an illustrated pamphlet which lies before the writer, and con tains photographs of the several states, it is seen that few states are as poorly off, in this regard, as Minnesota. (Sev eral of the new members of the sister hood are, of course, not so well provid ed with handsome and creditable public buildings. The DuKotas have not had time for the work of construction, and Montana contents herself with a couit house; but the capitals of lowa, Colorado, Oregon, California and other Northern states are palaces of beauty and utility compared with the lurid-hued curiosity which does duty as the state house of Minnesota. Still, as stated above, this ark must serve for the present, if for no other reason, because the treasury of the state will not stand the appropria tion nor the pockets of the people the tax levy for a new one. It will be o;ily by careful financiering that ends can now be made to meet, after firmly deci mating every appropriation asked for state institutions, and the Democratic- Alliance combination which controls tlie legislature, and which is therefore the responsible power, will authorize no new state house this season. For this reason all talk of capital re moval is the veriest bosh— a sort of bi ennial attack of real estate delirium tremens which breaks out without any apparent cause. What looked like a very innocent article appeared a day or two since in a Minneapolis paper, ad vocating tne construction of a new cap itol building "on a section of land to oe donated by Ramsey county somewhere down near Fort Snelling. But this in nocent lucubration very thinly veiled a real estate scheme, and when a second Minneapolis paper so kindly followed along with an editorial favoring St.Paul for the capitol. the same line was con tinued. There will be no capital re moval or capitol improvement move this session. The times are not propitious. Wheu the proper period arrives— and it will before long— Minnesota will have a state house in keeping with her dignity, and it will be in St. Paul. The cost of a suitable state^ capitol will run up into the millions. The state could scarcely afford to construct a building that would be inferior to the city halls and court houses of the prin cipal cities, and, fn fact, such a build ing would be inadequate. The Minne apolis court house and city hall will cost, when complete, not less than $:i,000,000, and perhaps more, and the new state bouse will probably cost &->,000,000. Such a building would not only be a credit to the state and an orna ment to the city, but would meet the growing demands of the business of the state government for the next half cen tury. It would be false economy to erect a building that would not be serv iceable for that length of time, and no one would seriously consider such a move. But for the present, with capital removal and capitol building, "Suffic cient unto the day is the evil thereof." THE CONGRESS OF UNIONS, In a Slinily Attended Meeting, Makes Legislative Suggestions. Last night's meeting of the Citizens' Central union in the municipal cour room was not largely attended,and most of the measures considered were re ferred to committees and deferred until the next meeting, to be held Friday night of next week. Mr. Daly, of the Fifth ward, introduced a resolution rec ommending the issuance of $1,000,000 of bonds by the city, the fund created thereby to be given as bonuses to manu facturing concerns for locating in St. Paul. Alter considerable discussion, during which the Industrial union was roasted to a turn, the reso lution was referred to a committee. Another resolution, requesting the board of education to discontinue teaching foreign languages in primary and inter mediate schools, was considered and re ferred. The union resolved to ask the Ramsey county delegation to work for th<i defeat of the McMillan street car bill. It was the sense of the meeting that Mr. Lowry is doing all in his power to give the city the very best street rail way service and his property should not be jeopardized by the passage of the McMillan bill. Several gentlemen from the Second, Eighth and Sixth wards complained of the police department, claiming that their sections of the city were not properly protected. Patrick Shanley sensibly suggested to the com plainants the advisability of making their protests to the mayor Instead of airing them in the meeting. A JURY ROUNDLY SCORED And New Trial Ordered in a Dam- age Suit for Injuries. The great palladium of liberty, the trial by jury, is occasionally pierced by the spear of justice in the hands of a fearless judge. An occasiou for criti cising juiy trial arose in the case of Swan M.Klarq,uist against The American Manufacturing Company, and Judge Brill, in an order filed yesterday, took occasiofl to severely censure the jury ttiat tried the case. The action was brought to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by reason of a hoist ing elevator, used in constructing a building, falling upon Klarquist. The case was tried at a recent term of the Ramsey county district court and nom inal damages were rendered in favor of the plaintiff. A motion for a new trial was made by Christensen & Tut tle, counsel for Klarquist. Judge Brill filed an order yesterday granting a new trial, provided the defense shall not agree within ten days to allow the verdict against it to be iucreased to $1,000. The judge added a memorandum to the order, in which he proceeds to re view the action of the jury and admin ister a cassation that amounts to hero ic treatment of the subject in mind. The substance of the memorandum is as fol lows: "The power of the court to set aside a verdict for inadequate damages is well settled. I was well con vinced that the verdict of the jury in this case was unjust and was the result of other considerations than the evidence and instructions of the court. It was established beyond dis pute that Klarquist sustained a very se vere injury. He was crushed under a falling elevator, his breast bone broken, and he was taken out unconscious and thought to be dead; be was coufined to his home for several months and spent several weeks in bed. He paid pnysi oians, nurses and for medicine $350. His loss of time was at least $300. These matters all went to the jury, and they were iustructed by the court, without objection, to consider these matters in fixing the damages. A verdict for $5,000 would not have been a large one, and it might harfi been much greater with ;-THE 6AIXIVBAUL iIMILY GLOBE: THURSDAY MORNIXS, FEBRUARY 5. 1891. out b.'ing excessive. The jury evi dently ignored the evidence and instructions 61 the court. After the verdict was rendered and the jury discharged, defendants counsel immediately stepped forward and shooked the hand of each juror and thanked him. Without making other comment on such a proceeding, it is evident that the counsel was of the opinion that the verdict was very favor able to his client. A thousand dollars is not the amount at which I should fix the damages if 1 was sittine as a juror in this case,but it is the smallest amount at which, in my judgment, a verdict ought to be allowed to stand. WHITES IN THU WROXG. Minnesota Indians Resent Bad Whisky and Timber Thievery. Still another call for help against the Indians in the northern part of the state was received by the governor yester day, a number of citizens and farmers living in and near Fosstou, Polk coun ty, asking in a voluminous letter for arms, ammunition and some companies Of state militia, as the Indians are danc ing and making threats that in a tew weeks they willkill every white man near the "Keel Lake reservation. The governor turned the 1 matter over to Adjt. Gen. Mullen, who wrote the set tlers last evening not to bealarrued.that he had made persona' investigation of thes tate of affairs, and found no reason to fear any outbreak. The adjutant general feels very de cided upon the subject of the so-called outbreak, and forcibly denounced yes terday in strongest terms the parties who are supplying the vilest of whisky to the Indians. He had endeavored, said the general, to quiet the settlers, both at Hallock and Thief River Falls, and pointed out to them the friendly spirit of the Chippewas; but some of the settlers who were in the Sioux out break of 1802 mistrusted the friendship of the redskins -"for," said one old fellow to the general, "the very men of tlie Sioux who were most friendly were the first to kill and slaughter the white people." In order to establish a feeling of se curity, the adjutant general has fur nished the settlers with arms and car tridges.though he scouts the idea of any trouble. There is no doubt but that whisky and robbery of timber from the reservations have been the cause of al the trouble, and it would be well if the Indian agents who have charge of the reservation displayed a little more en ergy than to draw their salaries. Stern punishment meted out to some of the white scoundrels who supplied the whisky to the Indians would have a wholesome effect, at present the sever ity of the law is dealt out to the red skins who, having procured the whisky, sell it to their fellows. Gen. Miles might find some interest ing situations in a tour of inspection of the reservations in Minnesota, which would make the effete Indian bureau in Washington sit up and howi. THE LOCAL STAGE. It is to be regretted that George Ken nan could not be secured for a series of _ lectures tins season, the same as last. But as Ins lecture this evening at the People's church will be his only appear ance in St. Paul, it will doubtless be all ■ the more largely attended. His subject, "Mountains and Mountaineers of the Coucasus," is thought by many to be his greatest effort, and will be fresh and interesting even to those who may have heard his lecture upon "Siberia and the Russian Convict System," delivered here a year ago. ■ lEiHSKf Cora Tanner acquires earnestness and dignity as she gains in years. There is ample intelligence in her study and the gratifying evidence of ambition in all she undertakes. The character of Ilelene- taxes her emotional powers, and she is . more than equal to the emer gency. The gown worn by Miss Tan ner in the first actjs very beautiful.! It is a dinner gown composed of : green. The bodice is of apple-green velvet mainly, with high puffed shoulders of the velvet over a white mull cap sleeve. The skirt and train are of pea-srreen crepe de chine embroidered in roses of natural colors, with glowing topaz 1 hearts, this embroidery being repro duced in a pointed strip upon the bod ice. This gown fastens under the arm and on the high puffs of the shoulders. Miss Tanner wears some . elegant dia monds. The engagement is • for this "week only. Final matinee Saturday. : The stage has had Irishmen and Irishmen, but Daniel Sully is probably the first actor to present a real Irish, millionaire. The somewhat notable de parture is made in Leander Richard son's new comedy drama, "The Million aire," which Mr. Sully produces at the Metropolitan opera house Friday night. This is the first season of the play, and this will be the first presentation in this city. The story is that of James O'Brien, an Irishman of humble birth, who has risen to business distinction, and to prospects of immediate fortune in the completion of an important line of rail road. The directors and peincipal own ers of an opposition road determine to invalidate the charter, of the road O'Brien is building by defeating its completion at a stipulated time. The climax of the play is is a realistic track laying scene, where the delay of a mo ment may mean the loss of millions. Of course O'Brien triumphs, and the last rail is laid just as a genuine locomotive appears under a full head of steam.

Money Is a Commodity, Regu lated by the Supply and' Demand. Legislative Committees Fur nished Pointers by Lead ing Financiers. A large number of the prominent bankers of the Twin Cities turned out at the capitol last evening to discuss the interest question before the banking committees of the two houses. Senator Leavitt. chairman of the senate commit tee, acted as presiding officer, and Eric Oison filled the position of secretary. Capt, Peter Berkey, of the St. Paul Na tional bank, was the first speaker. In his opinion money was simply a com modity, and the interest depended en tirely upon the question of supply and demand, and the legislature would best serve the interests of the people by leaving the rate of interest just where it is. If things are left unchanged, more money will come into the state, and the interior towns will be better supplied. The rates in Minnesota are less than in lowa and Wisconsin. Judge 11. K. Wells, of Preston, was next called for, and in a brief speech suostantially concurred in the opinions advanced by Capt. Berkey. In Fillmore county money is loaned at 7 and even G per cent. The 8 per cent rate is un known in FiUmore. li* was of the opinion that the farmers in his section were not suffering so much as the busi ness men in the two cities. If any changes were made it would increase the hardships of the farmers. E. \V. Peet, the financial agent of St. Paul, and who is recognized as one of the most clear-headed financiers in the Northwest, took the broad ground that there should be no law regulating the interest on money other than the nat ural law of supply and demand. There was just as much justice in legislating for the lender as the borrower, tor the simple reason that much of* the money sent West represented the savings of poor people in the East- These people sent their money West because they hoped to realize a higher rate of interest than they could in the East. Pie was also against a law prohibiting, commissions, and practically doing away with middlemen. Ex-Congressman H. B. Strait, of the CJermania Bank of St. Paul, called at tention to some of the points of differ ence between the banking business' in the cities and the country. The rate is higher in the country thaa in cities be cause the risk is greater. Cashier Bailey, of the First National Bank of St. Paul, agreed with the gen-' Senator La Due wanted to hear from all parts of the state, and Mr. Dayton, a banker of Nobles county, took the floor. He was banker, miller and farmer, and had occasion to borrow money in all these capacities. He founa that the rate was steadily decreas ing on farm property. Hon. 11. C. Stivers, of Brainerd, took the ground that a reduction in the rate of interest would practically prevent the people in his section from securing money. President Joseph Lockey. of the Na ttonalGerraan-American,came next with a carefully prepared paper on the rates of interest prevailing in the Canadian provinces and in the states of the Union.. He found that in many of them the rate was much higher than Minnesota. Ex-Public Examiner Knox, now presi dent of the Security Bank of Minneapo lis, was called for, and made a clear speech advocating the law of supply and demand. He thought the rate of inter est depended in a great measure upon the character of the security. He made the point that it was necessary to have large sums from the East at certain sea sons, and that it was desirable that the people who have money to loan in this state be given a high enough rate that they would be induced to keep it iv cir culation. E- J. Hodgson, of St. Paul, declared that the loan agents of the state had done a great deal towards reducing the rates of interest. He took the ground that the only way to reduce the rates of interest was by making money plenti ful. Hon. Allen J. Greer, of Wabasha county, expressed the opinion that it was the confidence the lenders had in the borrowers that regulated the rate of interest in his county. Senator Keller talked about country banks, leaving out real estate loans and city banks. He wanted the farmers and others to get together and talK over this question. He narrated numerous ways of evading usury laws, and claimed that the best thing that could be done was to leave the laws as they are. He addressed a great part of his speech to Mr. Donnelly, and asked him what kind of a bill he proposed to intro duce. In response to calls Mr. Donnelly took the floor, saying that he had come to listen and not to talk, but he had not learned much. He had been listening to just such arguments for thirty, years. He denied that money was a commodity. If potatoes were too high everybody: could go to raising potatoes, but when money was too hJjjh people could not go to manufacturing it. He urged the members of the legislature to stand by the interest reduction bills, and leave • the consequences fall where they would. He declared that the arguments ad dressed by the speakers who preceded him were all "bosh." The meeting then adjourned. . . ; .. Reihlen Champagne.

An Investigation of the Institu tions at Faribault Might Be In teresting. , There is said to be good cause for a thorough investigation into the condi tion of the state institutions at Fari baulr. These schools for the deaf, 'blind and feeble-minded are before the legislature with a cool request for an appropriation of $-250,000, which ap ! pears to be an enormous sum to for ward the education of 300 or 400 chil dren. It will be remembered that Sec retary Hart began a movement to in vestigate these schools two years ago, an account of which appeared iv the t Globe at the time, and that he was 'choked off by the leaders of the Repub lican party. It appears that a large .anrount of Minnesota's money has been .expended in erecting ill-planned and exceedingly costly cut-stone buildings, and the board of directors is still de manding more money for such pur poses, it is also claimed that there is grave mismanagement of the training department of the school for the deaf. The legislature can probably find some necessary work to do at these institu tions, and at the same time save a large sum of money from being dissipated in additional cut-stone architecture. A KID'S CAREER. Friends Seeking for the Relatives of Jackson Fulee. Jackson Fuice was stolen from hia parents, then ran away from his uncle, and was round a few days ago in an al most famished and dying condition, housed with a madman. These facts were gleaned from a letter received by Postmastev Lee yesterday from C. C. Rone, of Rochester, Butler county, Ke ntucky, who stated that he found the person named, a yo.-ng boy, lodging with Kol Sherman ••iii a secluded place in Butler county. He provided for the wants of the boy and saved him from what apparently would have terminated in an early death. The boy stated that he had been stolen when quite smali by his uncle, whose name is Sparks, and that he was so badly treated by him that he ran away. He said that his father's name is Thomas Fulce,and chat he lived in St. Paul. Mr. Rone is doing all he can to learn the whereabouts of the boy's relatives so that he may be re turned to them. SURPRISED THE DOCTORS. A St. Paul Man's Curious Freak in a Chicago Hospital. Frank Picha, the St. Paul young man who was shot and supposed fatally in jured by a jealous lover at Chicago Tuesday night, paralyzed the doctors at the hospital yesterday morning. While the doctors were waiting to dress his wounds he got up from the operating table, walked out of the room, brushing the nurses to one siue, and left the hos pital. Siace then he has not been seen. Picha is not the deputy sheriff, as has 'been stilted, but is a young man, son of ■iJ. F. Picha, at 505 West Seventh street. Jie was formerly a bartender here.

Quarts, |15 Pints, 117, Death of Mrs. \V. R. Todd. It will be learned with grief by her many friends that Mrs. L. A. Todd, wife of Wilber Todd, died suddenly of heart disease on Tuesday evening. Her death was precisely of the character of that which overtook Secretary Windom, and it was a singular fact that his death preyed on her mind and she spoke of it constantly. Mrs. Todd was a bright and lovable lady, of brilliant mind and engaging manners, and her unexpected death will be sincerely mourned by a large number of friends. A brief fu neral service will be held at the Ham line residence to-day, and the body be taken to Winona for interment. Malaria Is believed to be caused by poisonous miasma arising from low, marshy laud, or from de caying vegetable matter, arid which, breathed inio the lungs, enter and poison the blood. If a healthy condition of the blood is main tained by taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, one is much less liable to malaria, and Hood's Sars a pafrilia has cured many severe cases of this distressing affection, even in the advanced Stages when the terrible chills and fever pre vailed. Try it. "I was all used up with malaria poison in my blood. Had sores all over my body. I tried several of the doctors and they did me np good. I took tbree bottles of Hood's Sk^sanarilla and it entirely cured me, the sores have all healed and I feel all right no w 51auy of my neighbors have been cured the same way. I know Hood's Sarsaparilla is a good medicine. B. L. MiLLEß,Tivoli,Minn. . m Hood's Sarsaparilla Sold by all druggist*. $1 ; six for $5. Prepared <yily by.C. I.
