ST. PAUL m
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The Doings of the Board of Directors
Yesterday Morning.
The attendance of members at the meeting
of the board of directors of the chamber cf
commerce yesterday morning was not as
large as usual, and the business transacted
was not very important or particuliarly inter
esting.
The special committee on the fifteen thous
and dollar appropriation for the West
St. Paul levee was given further time and
will confer with Co!. McKenzie to-morrow.
Mr. D. R. Noyes read a proposition from
Mr. J. D. Thomas, in which the latter agreed
to lease the market house for §1,500 a year,
and the same was filed.
AS INQUIRY.
The committee on fire department was di
rected to inquire Into the matter
of the fire plugs beinji frozen,
with a view to making such
sutrgestions as should be deemed desirable.
When the matter was proposed Mr. William
Lee started in with a few remarks which in
dicated that a general war dance was to fol
low, but after all the appearances wen- de
ceitful, and after a few words the whole mat
ter waa allowed to drop. Mr. Lee was not sure
whether tbe freezing of the hydrants was the
fault of God Almighty or the" location of the
hydrants and declared it was not possible,
under the present circumstances, to keep
them from freezing. The excavations on
the sides of the street left the hydrants ex
n (1 the wind whistled in under the
sidewalks.
Mr. Ansel Oppcnheim was not
at all convinced that the fire plugs were
in any worse condition now than thr-y had
been iu before this season of the year, aud
he did not understand this matter unless it
was a kind of preparatory howl for raising
the rate of insurance, in accordance with in
structions from Mr. Hall.

THE WAY OF THE TRANSGRESSOR.
A Lively Session at the Police Court
Yesterday—A Job Lot Docket
and How It Was Dis
posed Of.
There is nothing so dubious as nice; tbe
evil doer suspects even himself and trusts
nobody. On this account he is his own ene
my and he has no friends. The bull pen of
the police court is to humanity what the
catch basin is to tbe sanitary condition of a
city. It is the common fumigator oi society.
As usual of Monday the gist yesterday was
large. The most conspicuous case on the
docket was that of Dennis Sweeny and James
Keogh. These young men were arraigned
on the charge of burglary, and the case
demonstrated how criminally foolish some
men become when under the influence of
liquor. Last Sunday they were on a tare,
and while crazed with drink they broke
into Gray's feed store, corner of University
and Virginia avenues and, out of pure cus
sedness, they carted off a half dozen sacks of
flour. They carried the flour two or three
blocks aud then, out of downright malicious
ness, they scattered it broadcast over the
street. Thej were arrested by Officer Riley,
and yesterday Judge Burr held them to the
grand jury. In default of $750 bail they
were committed.
John Sanford, a shoddy genteel tramp and
lunch fiend, was up on the charge of assault.
He is one of the individuals for whose spe
cial benefit tbe Spanish proverb was coined;
that if he was not sufficient wise to let good
enough alone. He called at the police sta
tion for lodging on Sunday night, and after
reaching the tramps' room, he kicked be
cause he didn't have the best bed, and he
proceeded to bounce another lodger. He
was locked up and yesterday he went eut for
thirty days.
Mary Thompson, a decrepid and dissipat
ed old dame, was up on the charge of drunk
enness. She said she had taken a drop too
much and she was committed for tMrty
days.
The case against Felix Danserau, arrested
on the charge of stealing a feather bed from
an aged man named Chas. Quivelon, was
dismissed.
J. C. Corleis was arraigned on the charge
of abusive language, which consisted in call
ing E. AV. Chipman hard names. The com
plaint grew out of a boarding house row an
account of wbich appeared in a previous Is
sue of the Globe. Case dismissed.
The case of G. Sullivan, J. Hanley and M.
Burke, charged with creating a riot at a
christening, was called at 2 o'clock and oc
cupied the attention of the court for the re-'
malnder of the day. The case was partially
tried and continued until to-day.
THE WORKHOUSE COMMISSION.
Opening of Bids for Cells in the Sew
Addition.
At the regular meeting of the board of
workhouse commissioner's yesterday after
noon, bids were offered for constructing iron
and brick cells in the new addition to the
workhouse. The advertisements called for
96 iron and 32 brick cells and the bids were
as follows:
Haugh, Ketchanc & Co. Indianapolis. $18,717 00
Herzog Manufacturing Company, St.
Paul 18,789 50
Van Dorn Iron Works, Cleveland 17,780 00
McTeague Bros., St. Paul 20,360 00
Kenny Bros., St. Paul, exclusive of
window grates 20,020 00
Globe Iron Works, Chicago 21,130 00

Pennsylvania Construction Co 29,039 32
Capital Iron Works, St. Paul 34,930 00
Breuer & Rhodes for material 9,181 48
The contract was awarded to the Van
Dorn Iron Works company, of Cleveland,
Ohio, they having been the lowest reliable
bidders.
Pacific Congregational Church.
An ecclesiastical council convened at the
Pacific Congregational church, St. Paul,
Monday, March 3, 1884, to advise the
church and the pastor v, Ith reference to the
resignation of the pastor, Rev. C. A. Conaut.
Rev. J. H. Morley was elected moderator and.
H. H. Hart scribe.
The following was the roll of the council:
Plymouth Church, Rev. M. M, G. Dana, D.
D.. pa«tor; Lucien Warner, delegate. At
lantic Church, Rev. E. H. Votais, pastor; C.
D. (Stewart, delegate. Park Church, Rev. J.
H. Morley, pa-tor: also Rev. Richard Hall
and Rc-v.'H. H. Hart.
The council listened to the letter of resigna
tion of the pajstor, the letter of acceptance
of the church and a statement by the pastor.
The council having voted to be by itself, it
was voted to ratify the action of the church
and pastor, and the following resolutions
were adopted:
Itesdved, That this council regrets the ne
cessity of sundering the pastoral relation be
tween Rev. 0. A. Con ant and this church.
He. as its first pastor, took hold of the enter
prise in its incipiency and has labored un
tiringly for its upbuilding. It is due,mainly,
to his efficient and persevering that this
tasteful and commodious church was erected,
and the financial difficulties incident to the
same surmounted.
Resolved, That we cordially recommend our
brother to the churches of our faith and order
as a faithful and earnest preacher, and hope
when his health is restored, he may be per
mitted to labor in this state, to whose relig
ious interests he has devoted so many years
of his life.
The council wishes to put on record its de
liberate judgment as to the impolicy of
churches calling upon their pastors to lift the
financial burdens incident to building in
addition to the taking responsibilities of the
pastoral and pulpit work. The council
sympathises with the church in the loss of
its pastor and trusts that a faithful and effi
cient pastor may soon be given to it.

In the matter of the Red Lake Indian
reservation bill of Hon. Knute Nelson the
latter wrote State Auditor Braden that he did
not Ihink any amendments thereto necessary
to preserve school aud swamp lauds in the
reservation to the stute, but asked that the
bill be submitted to Attorney General Hahn
for his opinion, and to draft amendments if
be Should think necessary, provided such
should not emasculate the provisions of the
bill, us he had no desire to defraud the state
out of its just dues In this matter.
The auditor therefore referred tbe bill, pre
viously printed in full in these columns, to
E. S, Lane, assistant adjutant general, who
after consultation with General Hahn, found
that he was of theopinion that the bill should
in express terms place the state's interest in
Bch 61 ami swamp lands in this reservation
beyond question, and with the request of
Congressman Nelson to put up all the cars
possible to this end, ordered forwarded to

to the state of .Minnesota, in accordance with
the acts of congress heretofore passed in re

Bessemer Steel Rails and Free Trade.
To the Editor of the Globe:
From the commercial article in your pa
per of Feb. 27 I take the following extract:
A striking and powerful argument in favor cf
free trade is supplied by the present position of
Bessemer steel rails, which are manufactured in
this country. When the home manufacture was
"protected"' by a bisrh duty Bessemer rails were
held by American manufacturers at $90 and $100
per ton, and they declared they could not be
produced for less, but as soon as the duty was
taken off the home manufacturer produced the
article at $35 per ton and thrived on the profit,
and to-day tbe rail can be produced of as good
quality and at a less price than in England, and
shipments are made to that country.
The duty upon steel rail at this time is §17
per ton, and while it is true that steel rails
are sold in this country now at the eastern
mills at §35 per ton, it is not true that they
can be produced here as low as in England
and are shipped there. Steel rails can be pur
chased at this time in England for $25 per
ton or a ltttle less, delivered on board of ves
sel, wbich would lay them down in the
United States, and pay the freight and duty
at about $42 per ton. You can readily see
that the statement made is a
gross error. And it is tbe
same with many other "powerful and strid
ing arguments" in favor of free trade pub
lished in the papers. It is possible that with
the present low prices for iron ore and with
the recent greatly improved process of man
ufacture in this country, that the mills may
be able to run and sell at $34 to $35 at east
ern mills, where they have the advantage of
cheap foreigh ore and lower labor than in
the west, (ore from Cuba and Spain with a
duty of 75 cents per ton,) but all the west
ern mills claim they cannot make rails for
$35 per ton.
With the present duty of $17 per ton taken
off, not a steel rail mill in this country could
run, if the prices in England were not ad
vanced.
You will readily see that rails are sold now
in this country at $9 per ton below what for
eign rails can be laid down at New York for
and pay freight and duty. This was also
true when the duty was made higher, but
there is a point which these figures show very
plainly, below which the duty cannot fall and
permit American works to live.

Washtxgtox, March 3.—Senator Test pre
sented a memorial from the president and
members of the territorial council of New
Mexico, complaining of the arbitrary as
sumption by the clerk of that territory of the
power to designate the members elected to
the territorial legislature, thus depriving each
house of such legislature of the rierht to
judge of the election and qualifications of its
members. In connection with the memorial,
Vest offered a resolution which was agreed
to, referring the subject and matter of com
plaint to the committee on territories for
investigation, with power to send for persons
and papers.
The following bills were introduced and
referred:
By Senator Yoorhees, to prescribe the con
ditions under which bridges shall be con
structed and maintained across the Wabash
river in Indian and Illinois, and the White
river in Indiana. Also, to appropriate 850,
000 for the protection of government
property and the improvement of the Ohio
river at Jeffersonville, Ind.
Senator Harrison offered a resolution,
which was agreed to, calling on the secretary
of war to furnish the senate with any infor
mation in his possession, or attainable, as to
the effect of any dam or other government
work In the channel of the Ohio river, near
Jeffersonville, Ind., upon the flood line of
the river in times of great freshets, etc., to
prevent an overflow at that place.
The following resolutions, offered by Sena
tor Bayard, were agreed to:
Resolved, That the committee of naval of
ficers be, and are hereby instructed to Inquire
into the efficiency, preparation and equip
ment of a foundry, with steam hammer, and
proper machinery for the manufacture by
the government of modern artillery of the
largest calibre, and most improved construc
tion, and to make a report thereon as early
as practicable
Proceeding to the calendar the senate
passed a number of bills authorizing the con
struction of public buildings, not to exceed,
for site and building, amounts as following:
Carson City, Nev., .100,000; Waco, Texas,
$100,000; San Antonio, Texas, $200,000;
LaCrosse, Wis., $100,000; San Francisco,
$400,00: New Albanv,' Ind*, $100,000; Wi
nona,Minn..$100,000; Oshkosh, Wis., $100,
000; Fort Smith, Ark., $100,000; Nebraska
Citv, Neb., $75,000; Pueblo, Col., $200,000;
Fort Scott. Kb., $100,000.
Bills authorizing the purchase of addition
al ground for the use of the United States at
Springfield, 111., for $26,000, and granting to
the city of St. Louis, for street purposes,67J_
feet off the end of the marine hospital tract,
was also passed. This list covered all the
bills on the calendar providing for the erec
tion of public buildings.
When the senate had disposed of these bills
Senator Logan called up the military academy
appropriation bill, bnt a message having arrived
from the house, Logan gave way, and the mes
sage, containing the resolutions expressive of the
regret of the house at the death of Haskell, late
representativu from Kansas, was laid before the
senate. Remark. In memoriain of the deceased
were made by Ingalls, Dows, Cock re 11, Merrill
and Plumb.
Senator Ingalls, in the course of hi- remarks,
referring to the sturdy independence of Haskell's
Character, said, there had been in him no insen
sibility either to fame or to blame, but he had
preferred the approval of his conscience to
the approbation of mankind. He would
adhere strenuosly to unpopular friends
rather than incur the suspicion
of personal disloyalty. He had advocated un
popular doctrines, which commended the assent
of his reason, rather than to gain votes by silence
or duplicity. The world was better for his having
lived in it,and his fieath was a substruction from its
moral forces. Haskell had fallen nt the.
vestibule, -not' at the goal. For
his wife, children and kindred, inconsolable
in their bereavements, for the friends who loved
him, for the great constituency that lamented
him, for the- state he honored, and
the nation he served so well
he should have died hereafter.
Senator Plumb in the course of his remarks said,
the great state, which he had the honor in pnrt
to represent was in mourning for one of the most
earnest of ber sops. Haskell had been pecu
liarly a son of Kansas. His early youth hnd been
spent in that state, and as he grew he became
well known for patriotism and integrity, so that
men who had. never looked upon his face watched
his progress with pride. He was a man of strong
intellect, persistent labor, strong conviction. He
had his ambition, bnt it was an ambition to
excel. He hod none of the arts of a demagogue,
and to all littleness he was a stranger. Whatever
he undertook he undertook with enthusiasm, not
that sort of enthusiasm which ebbs and Hows,
but that which endures. He combined the chiv
alry of knighthood with the tenderness of a
woman. The senate then, on motion of Senator
Plumb, adopted a resolution expressive of its
sorrow at the death of Haskell, and, as a further
tribute of respect, adjourned.
The House of Rejiresentatives.
Washington*, March 3.—Mr. Randall,
under instructions from the committee, on
appropriations, reported back the letter from
the secretary of the treasury relative to the
rebate on tobacco. Mr. Randall said the
claims could be paid in three months. An
intimation had crept into public notice
that persons having claims, by the employ
ment of agents at 5 per cent, commission,
could get precedence in the consideration of
his claims. He would say to the house and
the claimants that there is no occasion what
ever for the claimants to go to any expense
to secure the payment of their money. If
they employed agents after this statement
they would do so of their own volition.
Mr. Washburn offered a preamble and res
olution reciting that a petition had been pre
sented to the speaker concerning* the
Jeanne-tee artic expedition,the conduct cf the
surviving members and the manner of in
vestia-tion by the naval court of inquiry,
and that the facts presented involve tho
honor and humanity of officers of the United
States service, as well as a proper respect for
those who perished in the expedition, and
that it is alleged the court of inquiry refused
to admit valuable testimony to be given to
bring out facts of the case, and directing the
committee on naval affairs to investigate the '
facts connected with said exppdition and the
alleged unofliccr-like and unseamanlike con-
■herein and send for persons and papers,
ted.
connection witb the resolution of Mr.
burn, presented for printing in the
d the petition of Dr. Daniel Collins,
brother of Jerome Collins, of the Jeannette
expedition, setting forth, that after the
month of September, Jerome Collins, to
gether with other members of the expedition,
were treated with every indignity and out
rage, even to being deprived of all scientific
instruments and appliances for bis position
as meteorologist of the expedition, that on, or
about, the end of the year 1879, while the
Jeannette was held in the ice, Jerome J. Col
lins was placed under suspension or arrest
by the commanding officer of the expedition,
and remained so until he died of starvation
on the bank of the river Lena, in northern
Siberia. The petition recites the attempt of
the officers and crew, in three
parties, to save their lives, after
the destruction of the Jeannette, and the loss
of two of the parties, while the third, under
Chief Engineer Melville, found a place of
safety. The petition thereupon charges, that
Melville made no effort to obtain informa
tion as to the condition or location of the
two missing parties, and he refused permis
sion to any of his party to make search. Dr.
Collins further alleges, that the evidence of
fered to the naval court, and that which will
be further given by the survivors, goes to
show, beyond any reasonable doubt, that had
Melville performed the duty devolving upon
him as commander of the party, and obeyed
the directions given bim by Lieutenant be
long, to Immediately communicate with the
Russian authorities, and had gone
to the rescue and conducted a
search for the. captain's party, each and
every member of that party, with the ex
ception of Errickson, would have been res
cued and alive to-day. The petitioner further
charges that the naval court of Inquiry into
the lo.s of the Jeannette, refused to admit or
allow to be given, valuable te»timony, and
that the court ruled out nearly every ques
tion that would bring out the true history of
the expedition, that many witnesses were
it is alleged, by competent authority, de
pendent upon, and under the jurisdiction of,
and afraid of persecution by the naval
department, that the official stenographer of
the court publicly declared in writing that
important and valued testimony was sup
pressed, and the proceedings of the court
were calculated to cover all matters relating
to the expedition.
Mr. Collins offered a preamble and reso
lution, which recited that a memorial had
been presented by a shareholder of the Pa
cific National bank, Boston, chanfng frauds
and misconduct on the part of certain United
States officials in combination with the direc
tors of the bank, and directin&the committee
on banking and currency to consider the ex
pediency of making an immediate Investiga
tion into said charges, and so amending the
banking laws as to prevent such fraud and
misconduct in future. Adopted.
Mr. Bland introduced a resolution, amend
ing the rules, so as to make it out of order
to ask for unanimous consent for the adop
tion of a resolution affecting the relations of
the United States witb foreign countries,
until referred to and reported back from the
committee. Referred.
The following bills were introduced and
referred
By Mr. Wilkin s, for the erection of public
buildings at Jane6ville.
By Mr. Caldwell, to prohibit the importa
tion into the United States of pauper labor
ers, lazzaroni and beggars.
By Mr. Poland, for amending the rules, so
as to provide that eulogies on deceased mem

By Mr. Wellbarn, for the erection of public
buildings at Fort Worth, Tex.
By Mr. Hancock, by request to liquidate

national current money, to discontinue the
collection of internal revenue, and to estab

which these results will be obtained is §1,
200.0000,000 of greenbacks.
Mr. Townsend moved to suspend the rules
and pass a bill pensioning the survivors of
the Mexican war. The bill does not apply,
like that pending before the house to the
soldiers of the Black Hawk and other Indian
wars.
Mr. Townshend explained the bill and
stated it combined, in so far as it related
to the soldiers of the Mexican army, the es
sential features of a bill introduced by him
self the first bill of this session, and the bill
was reported from the committee on pen
sions, and at the suggestion of the conven
tion of Mexican soldiers, recently held in this
city. It was confined exclusively to those
who had served sixty days in the Mexican
war, or who had actually served with the
army and navy, or had participated in auy
battle in that war, and the widows of such
soldiers who had married before their dis
charge. He had not embraced the soldiers
of the Florida, Indian or Black Hawk wars.
After consultation with the friends
of tbe soldiers in all those
wars, it was concluded It was better
to separate them, and let the claims of the
soldiers of each war stand on their respect
ive merits, and not confuse and embarras
them by embracing all in the ssme measure.
He was heartily in favor of pensioning sol
diers in the Black Hawk and Florida Indian
wars, and should support their bill, which he
hoped would soon be up for consideration.
The Mexican war had ended thirty-six years
ago, and the average age of the survivors
was now sixty-two years. This bill was in a
line with the precedents established in pen
sioning the soldiers of the revolutionary war,
and the war of 1812.
Mr. Browne, Ind., opposed thejblll,because
it would put on the pension rolls all who ac
tually appeared in some muster roll of the
United States in the war with Mexico. It
would put on the rolls men who never saw a
living or dead Mexican, and never heard the
discharge of a gun, unless it were fired
by accident. It put on the rolls
men who did not need pensions. He was
willing to give a pension to every man who
actually served in Mexico, or who partici
pated in any battle in the Mexican war,
without regard to the time of service, and to
put on the roll every man who was on the
muster roll for sixty days, who could show
he was iu such a pecuniary condition as to
need assistance. How did gentlemen of the
majority forget 2,000,000 men who served in
a war equal in importance to the Mexican
war? They happened to think of tbe Creek
war, of the Black Hawk war and Seminole
war. Why did they happen to think of the
wars prosecuted by states to capture runway
negroes 1 Why did they remember the wars
brought on by states by the violation of trea
ties between the United States and savage
tribes, and then forget these other meu?
Was it because it was thirty-seven years
since the Mexican war? It was eighteen
years since the close of the war of the rebel
lion, and, certainly the men who carried the
Hag of the nation to victory during the three
years of the rebellion, were as much entitled
by service to pension as men who appeared on
the muster roll in the war with Mexico. Out
of 70,000 who went to the Mexican war, 50,
000 went from the slave-holding states, and
this bill was brought in because the rebel
soldiers could be put on no other pension
roll. That was the reason for the bill. He
did not object to that, but he wanted a
chance to amend the bill, so as to do justice
to the soldiers in the war of the rebellion.
Mr. Townshend, replying to Browne, said
be was endeavoring to knife this bill by in
direct means wbich were not fair nor square.
The Republican party held the control of
both branches of last congress, and the ex
ecutive department and tiie gentleman him
self, then chairman of the committee on
intraHd pensions, and yet, neither him nor
his party had made any attempt to place these
soldiers on the pension roll. Townshend
further said, he introduced this bill to test the
question whether the Mexican soldiers had
sufficient merit in theirclaims to stand alone,
that whenever a bill was presented to pension
all the soldiers in the late war, it would be
found they had merit enough in their claim .
and find friends enough in
congress to secure the reward of a
pension. That the legislation of Indiana had
shown more generosity, and patriotism for
the Mexican soldiers, then their representa
tive on this floor. The legislation of Ill
inois, and twenty-live other states have done
the same. Now, I stand here, and am ready
to obey the Instructions of any state, whilst
you, Browne, signalize your disobedience of
the command of your state. The time has
arrived to reward the old veterans, for if it
is not done soon they will not need this re
ward. After some further debate, the rules
were suspended and the bill passed. Yeas

Mr. Cox, of New York, moved that the
house adjourn, his purpose being to prevent
Converse from making a motion to suspend
the rules and consider the bill for increasing
the duty on wool.
Mr. Beach called for the yeas and nays,
whieh was not ordered, and the vote by tell
ers resulted by 104 to 40 In favor of the ad
journment.
Mr. McKinley moved to reconsider the
VQte by which the honse refused, to order the
yeas and nays, and Mr. Holman moved to
table that motion. This was agreed to; yeas,
148; nays, 120. So the house stood ad
journed. This cannot be considered a test
vote on Converse's proposition, for such
strong opponents as Blackburn and Hurd
voted against the adjournment.

A HEAVY HAUL
The Money Clerk of a St. Louis
Express Company Gets in
His Work.
Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars the
Result of His Operation.
How the Job was Planned and Carried Ont
—$7,000 Reward Offered for His
Arrest.
St. Lons, March 3.—Prentiss Tlller,money
clerk of the Pacific Express company here,
whose father is a Louisville detective, disap
peared about 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon,
taking with him one or two valises full of
money packages, the total amount being
nearly $75,000. It is the custom of the com
pany to keep a money clerk and day watch
man on duty in the office on Sunday, the
doors being secured by a chain and locks,
and no one being admitted except the mes
sengers, who arrive on the morning
trains and have money packages,
to turn over. Yesterday evening Tiller was
on duty, and the watchman remained in the
back room tending to the door, the front
doors being kept locked. About 2 o'clock the
watchman went out to lunch, leaving three
messengers sitting by the stove. While he
was gone Tiller went out and returned with
a stranger, whom the messengers snpposed
to be a new clerk or a messenger. Tiller and
the stranger went into the front office and
were thought no more of. An hour later
Tiber came into the back office to wash his
hands and remarked to the watchman who had
returned, that he believed he would go out
and get some lunch. Wiping his hands he
re-entered the front office and was not seen
again. Half an hour afterwards the watch
man walked Into the office to get something,
and was surprised to find the front door un
locked and Tiller absent. He spoke of it to
the mpsscngers, who were sitting by the
stove in the rear, and they told him of the
stranger. This alarmed him, and he sum
moned the superintendent, who soon dlscov
ered that about a bushel of money packages
was missing. The detectives have learned
nothing yet.
R. G. Butler, agent of the company, says
there can be no doubt the man brought to
the office by Tiller was a confederate, and
that he and Tiller took all the packages from
the safe, examined them and selected such
as they desired or were the easiest, to dispose
of. Several envelopes were found which
had been cut at one end, but as they con
tained checks they were not taken. Other
packages containing silver were also left.
Butler thinks, however, there must have
been nearly a bushel of packages taken, and
there was probably a third con federate on the
outside, as the weight of the packages, many
which contained gold coin, was too heavy to
have been easily and quickly handled by two
persons. Tiller and his pal must have
worked over an hour in preparing their
plunder, during which time the watchman en
tered the front office in which they were en
gaged two or three times, but it was easy for
the conferate to hide himself behind the
close boarded part of the meassengers, pens
in which they did their work. When every
thing was ready the front door was un
locked and Tiller went to the rear room
ostensibly to was his hands but really to
learn the position of the watchman and the
dangers, and finding them favorable to the
exit of theconf"derate he gave the signal to
go. Shortly afterward the watchman went
to the front office. Finding the door unlock
ed and Tiller not present, he telephoned Mr.
Butler and Mr. Fuller, general manager of
the company, and they came to the office at
once. While it was evident a robbery had
been committed they couldn't get Into the
safe to ascertain what was missing, as
Tiller had taken off the
keys. It was after midnight
when the safe was ppened and considerably
later when the information was given out.
The police were promptly notified und tele
grams sent to conductors leaving the city de
scribing Tiller.
It was learned this morning that Tiller
brought in the office Saturday afternoon a
large leather valise which he put in the base
ment. It could not be found to-day, and
from this fact it is believed the preparations
for the robbery were made Saturday. A visit
to his room, 1,122 OUve street, to-day dis
closed a number of unused money envelopes
and printed slips of the company, and
he could have bad no honest
purpose in having these in his room. Mr.
Butler thinks he has been robbing the com
pany some time. Tiller is a young man
twenty-five years of age, formerly witb the
Pacific company two years, and had the en
tire confidence of his employers, being
steady, quiet and attentive to business. He
is described as twenty-five years old, brown
mustache and hair, pimply face, unobtrus
ive features, slender build, weight about 135
pounds, neat dress and quiet manner. His
confederate is entirely unknown, the express
companv not having the slightest conjecture
as to who he is. The company has offered a
reward of $7,000 for the arrest of the man
and money, and if the capture is made the
prosecution will be to the full extent of the
law.

To the Editor of the Globe:
In the report of the trial of the silk goods
thieves, ns published iu yesterday's Globe,
you say that one of the thieves began flirtiiit.
with the girls in the store while the other
stole the silk. The writer of that statement
is a fool, and should be cowhided for bring
ing respectable young ladies before the pub
lic in any such connection. To weave a ro
mance around the acts of a brace of common
thieves may be right, but when anything
more Is attempted, it should be dealt with as
it deserves. Give me the name of your re
porter, and if he does not apoligize to the
young ladies he has mentioned in this con

richly deserves. Respectfully,

The Dakota Republican is not the only paper
growing suspicious in this way: "Will that cen

man, ever be heard from? It begins to look that
way. Is the thing to be run in the interest of
sonebody's promises? Give the people a little
show.-'
Judge Cox, the ex-Minnesota judge and attor
_ey, claims to have scored a point over Gen,

At the meeting of the farmers' club at Tower
City the past week G, H. Ellsbnry, a leading and
successful farmer, gave thi-: aa his experience
with poor varieties of seed wheat: Fife, 11 to
15 bushels per acre; Kussian and Defiance 24'i
bnshels: Brooks, 21 bushels per acre. He will
sow the soft varieties in 1884. Prefers Defiance,
but likes the Saskatchewan.
The Wheeler Record is the authority for this
interesting incident: Mahlon Gore, a cousin of
Mrs. J. R. Lowe, of Bijou Hills, entered the first
homestead in Dakota territory, in 1801 ou the
Big Sioux ' river, but was driven therefrom iu
1802, by the Sioux Indiana, barely escaping with
his life. He is now residing and editing a news
paper in Florida.
It is no doubt trne that tbe order of the G. A.
R. Is designed to be strictly non-partisan, but It
appears to be a fact that an attempt is being
made to use it to some extent for Logan's in
terest. The Tribune, the soldiers' organ at
Washington, eulogizes the senator extravagantly,
and a marked copy i* sent to every member of
the G. A. R. in the country.
Judge Moody has returned to Deadwood from
Washington, and says, that he has the assurance
of Senator Dawes that the bill to open the Sioux
reservation will be pushed throngh at once, and
that it will pass both bouses with perhaps a very
slight modification. The land in question will
only be opened to actual homesteaders, under thu
five year law, and will thus shut out all specu
lators.
The new comers to Dakota are putting In an
appearance already. The hotels at Mitrhell, Bis
marck, Jamestown, Furgo nnd other points are
being taxed for room. For those wbo intend to
go on land it is nt least a month too early. The
only really diaageeable port of the year is nt tbe
break up of winter. Those wbo have their first
impressions of the country taken in the spring
mud are liable to lose some of their enthusiasm.
A leap year incident of this kind is related in
Walsh county: A young man had a choice pre
emption claim, but had not quite kept all the
red tape straight and a young ludy jumped it —
tiled a homestead over him. Being a nice young
man and a nice young lady, they cannot fight
and she proposes to settle the matter by marry
ing him. He will probably consent, althongh a
"girl he left behiud him" in the states writes
fondly.
This statement by a Dakota paper, is worth
noting by those who come toDukota in the spring
and are likely to receive unfavorable imprcs-lons
at first: The truth of the matter is that Dakota
has one of tbe finest winter climates in the world;
bright, vigorous and healthful. Its atmosphere
Is dry and warm. The very worst season In Da
kota occurs from about the lust of February until
the first of May. During this season of two
months the spring rains commence, while It is
still cold enough to form a wet, disagreeable
snow, which together with the March winds,
make the coldest, dampest and only unpleasant
portion of the year.

The Ladies Missionary society of the Presby
terian church on yesterday afternoon _i v
nual praise meeting. Present was Rev. ('. ..
Oraham, missionary from Africa, who made :>
few brief remarks on woman us found by the
missionary in the native wilds of Africa, in the
first place one must look npon women there as
slaves. The marriage of women Is very young,
from ten to twelve years is the average, liut she
may be bought six years before marriage. A
plantation is given to each womnn to clear and
work; nearly all the work Is done by women,
but some by the slaves. There are a\tpr*M in
some parties. A man's wealth is Mtttoated by
the number of his wives. The death of a hu«
band \* a very severe blow to his wives, becuuso
his wealth usually goes to his relative-'; bmcf,
they are left to the mercies of them. Much ivory
is found in the interior of Africa,
this is bronght out into the boid-i.
und sold for women. The Women work this i\i>ry
up into fancy articles. They are all fond of fancy
work and gay colors. He exhlhitod a piece ot
cloth woven on some kind of loom by the Datives.
It resembled a hemp towel. The material ont of
which it is made is some kind of cactus. A great
deal of fancy work is done by the women from the
pine apple leaf. .Sometimes the women work thu*
with their own hands und redeem lh-lllsa1»M
from their husbands. A woman is never seen
walking by the side of her husband, she must
always follow. He Baid that after an African
woman hod been converted, nnd had been taught
to know something of her freedom, she held her
position toman with great pomp.
It costs the missionaries the price of five yardjl
of calico to make their converts each a dress.

The other morning a citizen of Sproat
street who looked the very picture of health
was waiting to take the car and whistling as a
man will when at peace with all the world, when
along came an acquaintance who halted ab
ruptly, gazed at him In a doubtful way, ami
dually held out his hand with the remark:
'•Well, well!. .Then I was mistaken !'*
"In what:''
"Why, I thought I heard my wife Mt__Bg
your death notice two weeks ago aud know
ing how bad your liver—"
"My death notice! Why, there Isn't a
healthier man in Detroit!"
"And feme/Win? how badly your liver wan
affected,'* continued the other, "I didn t
wonder at It. You are a-tcrribly careless
man."
'•Why. how?"
"In not taking more care of yourself.
The liver Is a great vital organ and no man
showing the symptoms you do has any right
to neglect searching for a remedv."'
'•My liver! I'll bet you |60___t my—."
"Nevermind! If you want to be obsti
nate that's your lookout and not mine. I
simply promise to be one of the pallbearers.
Good morning!"
It was wonderful how the smile faded and
the whistling ceased. Instead of taking the
car the man headed down town at a slow
pace, a half-scared look on his face, uud it
was only by a great effort that he pawed Hie
first drug store. When he came to the sec
ond he walked In, aud without even referring
to the weather he 6uid :
"Doc, my liver Is ont of order, and I
guess I'll buy a bottle of liver Invlgorator."
He got It and hurried off, anxious to reach
the oflice and get down a dose, and no man
will see a smile on bis face again until he
calls upon some doctor and learns that his
liver is working away like a two-horse engine
aud shows no signs of skipping a cog.

In 1868 the Democrats held their National
convention in this city. Horatio Seymour,
New York's most honored statesman, was
nominated for President.
On the committee on resolutions were
James A. Bayard of Delaware; William J
Allen of Illinois; George W. Click, of Kan<
sas, now Democratic governor of the state;
William Preston, of Kentucky; Henry C
Murphy, of New York; Wade Hampton o.
South Carolina, aud Thomas S. Bocock, i/.
Virginia.
The platform declared in favor of "a tar
iff for revenue upon foreign Import*, and
such equal taxation under the internal reve
nue laws as will afford incidental protection
to domestic manufactures, and as will, with
out Impairing the revenue, impose the least
burden upon and best promote and encour
age the great Industrial interests of tha
country."
Upon this platform Gov. Seymour ran and
carried the state of New York over the pat
ronage of the administration, the the preju
dices of thi; war and the great military pres
tige of Gen. Grant.
It voiced the principles of the Democratic
party then. It speaks the principles of th<
party now.
Only upon the Seymour platform or some
thing like lt can New York be carried by the
Democrats in 1884.

At Fl Paso, Mexican dollars are worth
eighty-five cents in American coin. Al !'-
del Norte, just across the river, American
dollars are worth eighty-five cents in Mexi
can coin. One morning a car driver started
from the American side with
a Mexican dollar. On his arrival
at the Mexican town he took a drink of
chain lightning, which was fifteen cents, and
received an American dollar In change for
bis Mexican. On bis return to the American
side be took a drink of equally bad liquor
and received a Mexican dollar for his Ameri
can, and so repeating the drinks at intervals
during the day and night, he closed up busi
ness with the Mexican dollar he started with
in tbe morning.
