The state university campus pre sented an animated spectacle yesterday afternoon. The athletes of the college were out in force, each bent upon capt uring as many of the field day events as possible, and each determined, if possible, to attain one of the coveted places upon the athletic team winch will represent the University of Min nesota in the held day contest in Chi cago. Each contestant is required to attain a certain record in each event: other wise lie is thrown out. The best event of the afternoon was the 100-yard dash by lingers and Storey, who did some very pretty sprinting, considering the wretched condition of the track. Both men came within the re quired eleven seconds, thereby qualifying. The cinder track is unfin ished, which accounts for its heavy con dition. In the 220 hurdle, Harding and E. W. Taylor made the distance in less than the required 31 seconds, and with Rogers and Storey were the only ones to qualify. The next trial field day will be .May 22, when it is hoped that with the advantages of further practice more of the contestants will come within the required record. READY TO TARE ALL.

Runyau against Elmer Fos ter went to ti ial before Judge Canty and a jury yesterday. The ex-ball player was defended by Bob Jamison, and took a lively interest in the selection or the jury, while his accuser, tall, slim and long-whiskered, moved his legs about his chair and waited to be called to give his evidence. The fact that Foster had at one time been quite pop ular as a ball tosser made it rather hard tn Becure a jury, and much time was consumed in the questioning. Runyan was dually placed on the stand and told. the story of his meeting with Foster on the car, 'when court adjourned. AMUSEMENTS. The only big novelty of the season will be the production of Jefferson, Kiaw »v: Erlanger's immense entertain ment. "The Country Circus," at the Grand Opera house next week.

The Mayor Forces Two Sa loonkeepers to Pay an Englishman $250. They Pay for a Swindle Per petrated by Others in Their Places. The Situation Among the Banks Assuming- a Very Cheerful Aspect. Other Events of Yesterday Put in Readable Shape for the Globe. Thomas Davis and E. H. Cummings, who were tried in the police court yes terday on the charge of swindling W. J. Blackmore out of $250 iv a dice game, were discharged. Blackmore will to day get his money back, however. Gordon and Flynn will pay it. The re sult was brought about by the deter mined stand taken by the mayor in re lation to the proprietors of the saloons where the swindle was perpetrated. The dice sharps were Introduced to their victims in N. C. Gordon's saloon and the fleecing process was completed in T. Flynn's saloon. Gor don claims that he was absent at the time and knew nothing of the matter till later. Mr. Flyuu saw a part of the dice-throwing at his place and ordered the men to stop. They did «o and he went down cellar 4o attend to some business there, and it was then that Blackmore lost his money, of which fact Fiynn was ignorant until the next day. These facts no one disputes, but the mayor holds that a saloon propriotor is responsible for what takes place in his saloon, and so he called the two pro prietors before him yesterday after noon after the alleged swindlers were discharged, and gave them the' alternative of paying the En glishman his money or having their licenses revoked. The saloon keepers chose the former. Flynn gave the mayor a check for ?125 last evening and Gordon will pay over a like amount today. Mr. Eustis said this method of dealing with the saloons is a precedent which lie will follow hereafter. It is a new departure in city government so far as Minneapolis is concerned, nothing like it having been attempted before. Mr. Flynn said last evening that lie thinks the mayor is right in the position he has taken, though it is a little hard on himself. He ordered the men to stop their gambling in his place as soon as he found out what was going on, and supposed that they had obeyed, as they left the counter aud he saw nothinK more of them. STEADILY IMPROVING. The Bank Situation Is Growing Strong Again. The local financial situation continues to improve, and in banking circles especially there is a much stronger and . more hopeful feeling than for any time the present month. The first ten days of May there had been a large with drawal of Eastern money by matuiing loans and money sent here for use and for investment, which has, it is said, almost entirely stopped. Some of the leading bankers are satisiied that money will now begin to come back again, which will operate to relieve the market, and eive to the sound business men the accommodations which they need in the ordinary course of business, but which the banks have, under the circumstances, been largely obliged to withhold. The continued very Batter ing reports regarding the crop outlook for the whole Northwest has also ma terially assisted both here and in the East. At the Farmers and Mechanics' bank yesterday morning business was en tirely at the normal stage. The so called run of a couple of days this week was entirely over, and, in fact, more money was being paid in than was being withdrawn, although it is a time of the year when the drafts for ordinary business with the bank's customers require large withdrawals. Presi dent Morrison and Director De Laittro both said that matters were at the ordinary condition, with plenty of money on hand and no one wanting it beyond their immediate uses. President Casey, of the Nortnwestern, who called about the same time, said that the general situation was rapidly improving. When the bank closed at 3 o'clock for the day the amount of de posits for the day exceeded the with drawals by about $1,000. Since Monday cash has continually come to the bank from bonds sold at the East, and there is $150,000 more in transit. But the condition has changed so favorably thatjthe bank is not decided as to whether it will sell any more bonds. Including the money in transit, the bank has $850,000 in cash on hand, against $7(5:-\OOO when the run began on Monday morning. The Farmers and Merchants' is rap idly straightening out affairs. President Scofield said that the additional stock which they are securing for increase of the bank's capital stock was being rap idly obtained, and it would only be a few days uiull they would again be in shape. The matter of a petition for a receiver for the Northwestern Guaranty Loan company, upon the complaint of Good now & Lawther. came up before Judge Russell at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Attorney Bartlesen was on hand for the company, ana Cobb it Wheelwright for the petitioners. It was an amicable ar rangement by both parties as being the proper way to settle the existing diffi culties, the bill owed to the linn being but $371. The attorneys stated to the court that they were not prepared to present the matter, and so departed until such a time as they shall report to the court the fact that the application is ready for presentation. Attorneys were present for the North western Fuel company, to which the Guaranty Loan company confessed judgment yesterday for a bill of $190. It is thought that when the matter comes up for a decision a receiver and all the details will be arranged so that the sottlement will require but a short time. The Minnesota Loan and Invest ment compauy is likely to be chosen as th«j receiver. THEY WlLti ASSIST. Basin ess Union People to Help Entertain the Press. At the regular meeting of the Busi ness union yesterday afternoon a re quest was received from the Minneapo lis Press club inviting the members of the union to assist in the entertainment of the Press league, now in sessiou in St. Paul.

According to the statement of a West ern Union official, the discharge of three operators within the past few days was not due, as has been stated, to their having belonged to a trades union organization. Referring to the subject this afternoon, Assist. Supt. Levin said that he could not see how their discharge could be construed in that way, especially when they both disclaimed having anything to do with the unions. He said they were let out because their work was not aatsfactorv, and that changes are being made right along the same as in any other business. In spite of the above statement a great deal of uneasiness is manifested among tlie operators, as some of the men who have been let out are away up in their business, and no good reason Is given for their discharge. It is also stated that in the case of the men recently let out they were prevented from securing positions in a railroad office in this city, the reason, it Is alleged, being that they were on the Western Union black list. Within the past two months fifteen men have beeu let out in St. Paul and Minne apolis. BORE ON NELSON. Editor Peaso Thinks the Governor Acted Shabbily. Editor Pease, of the Anoka Union, was iv the city yesterday, and took oc casion while here to impale Governor Nelson on a very long and sharp sword for the governor's relation to the Chi cago dedication of the Minnesota state building. Mr. Pease thinks that tlie governor has given the editors of the state a slap in tlie face, and, indirectly, the state, which all will not soon forget and not readily forgive. Editor Pease says that the governor had plenty of time to talk about the king of Norway, but had no time to join with the people of Minnesota in a dedication in co-oper ation with the editors. There are others who comment almost as bitterly as does the Anoka Repub lican editor, and they are disposed to blame the state commission in the mat ter, and charge that it had too much re gard for the wishes of tlie state officers all through from the time that the addi tional appropriation bill was considered up to the present, and not enough for the people who have furnished them the meausof the success which all hope for the state at the fair. .

The president said that twelve com panies had joined the board during the year, making a present membership of eiguty-two. The president declared that in view of the experiences of last year he was convinced of the necessity of an increase iv the average rate of in surance. The executive committee's report viewed with concern the vast increase of the tiro loss in the country in 1892. It was estimated at 1151,516,002, an in crease over 1891, when the fire loss was unprecedented. The losses ainco Jan. 1, 1898, have gone on at the same rapid pace. In connection with this report the members of the board said that they feared incendiarism was Increasing, and. the arson committee moved that its powers be so extended that it could in crease the offers of reward for the ar rest and conviction of incendiaries. The chief point of interest in the report of the committee on legislation and taxa tion was the report of tne bill passed in Tennessee, requiring all insurance com panies to pay their policy holders the full amount of the loss sus tained by them, provided the amount did not exceed the amount of insurance expressed in the policy, and that all stipulations in such policies to the contrary were and should be null aud void. The board indorsed the bill. One of the most important topics considered at the meeting was the faulty construction of buildings. Another topic which cailed forth con siderable discussion was the amount of percentages to be paid to agents, and the number of days that credit would be given to them. It was recommended by the board that commissions should not run higher than 15 per cent. The following officers were elected for SLORILLARLVS. Much the Best.

These conditions are Terrible DANGER POINTS for the lungs and pipes. Beware of the cold, the cough, the chest pain, the inflammation, THE DEADLY PNEUMONIA, the racked lung, the dreaded Consumption. Put on duty only the strongest guard, the oldest and most faithful standby, DR. SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP. Break up your cold at once. Stop your cough. Drive out that inflammation in time. Defy that Pneumonia. Cure that Consump tion, THE PULMONIC SYRUP acts quickest and surest of all remedies on ihe lungs. The oldest and best approved standard for every lung trouble.

THE GREAT COLUMBIAN SALE. yflf The unprecedented success of this great Js£k $14.92 Sale has enabled us to re-invest the *5& proceeds in purchases from leading- New York A» ' and Boston Specialists in Fine Clothing-. Owing to the financial stringency in the East, coupled with the backward Spring, surprising reductions in values were accepted on seasonable goods. The elegant Suits which are now selling on our §14.92 tables are, in some cases, made from the identical styles that Custom Tailors have used in making suits to order at $25 to $35. In our many years' experience we have never before been able to secure such offer- -|jt ings. The manufacturers' losses are now rr£/gS your gain. The "Plymouth" turns them yJ??. over to you at its usual minimum percentage Y^w of expense and profit. £$ X rLYMrt!
