IMEKIMIM. RELICS* Indicating the Primitive method* j of the Early Hennepin Court*. The deputy clerks of the district court are improving the opportunity afforded by the suspension of legal hostilities by making a research of the files of the ollice and are re-enveloping the multitudinous cases for the purpose of preserving the same for pos terity. The work lias brought to the sur face a number of historic relics that cannot fail to be of interest, to at least those whose avocations bring them in contact with the courts. For Instance, the first court min utes which were made a matter of record read as follows: Be it remembered that on this, the fourth day of April, which is the first duy of the spring term in the year ol our Lord 1853. was began ami held pursuant to law in the district court of Hennepin, in tho bouse of Anson Northup, Esq., in the town of Minneapolis, there being no court house; present, the lion. Bradley B. Meeker, judge of the Third judicial district in Minnesota, and assigned to hold the courts of the Second judicial district until tbe inability of the judgo thereof be re move 1. Sweet "W. Case, having been appointed clerk of the said court, appeared in discharge of bis duties. Present. Henry L. Moss. Esq., United States Attorney and Joseph W. Faber, United States Marshal, for the territory. Warren Bristol, Earn., appeared as prosecut ing attorney and Isaac Brown as sheriff lor the county of Hennepin, and thereupon the Bald sheriff made return into court of a venire heretofore issued summoning a grand Jury, when the following persons answered to their names and took their seats as grand jurors at this term: M. Starr Titus, Joseph Dean, Eli Pettlngill. William O. Jones, John Sickens, John S. Wales, Edwin Tredderly, llezakiah Ketchum, Allen Harmon. John Bcden, John (J. Buohannar, Lorenzo B. War ren. John S. Mann, Waterman Stinson, Wll limn Hamilton and A. L. tJummlngs, who, having affirmed, or taken the oath adminis tered, to Dr. Alfred C. Ames, their foreman, as required by law, were charged by the court and retired to their room to consider such matters as might arise or be brought be fore them. * * * * The first minister's certificate filed bears the date of Feb. 10, 1853, and testifies that William Chambers and Martha Mitchell were united in marriage at Eden Prairie by lte.v. S. L. Leonard. The first declaration papers issued re corded the fact that June 10. 1853. Simon Stevens renounced his allegiance to Vic toria, queen of Great Britain, and had con tinuously resided in the United States since 1844. The first printed docket of cases for the benefit of attorneys was printed on legal cap and resembles in aupearance the ordin ary complaint of now-a-days. its heading reads as follows: Stato of Minnesota, district court of the fourth judicial district. Calendar of causes for January term. 1859. Hon. O. Hamlin, judge; James It. Laurence, prosecuting attor ney H. A. Partridge, clerk. One of the most interesting discoveries in this connection is the revelation that papers in 050 cases are missing. This can only be accounted for by the fact that too many at torneys are addicted to the practice of car rying off papers aud not returning them. A UIMHNi' CHURCH. Why the Members of the Church of Church Rejoice. At the recent celebration of the ninth an niversary of the Church of Christ at the edigce, corner, , of,, Portland avenue and Eleventh street, an exhibit was read of the workings of the church during the nine years of its history, which was very credit able indeed to the energy and management of its leaders and members. it required considerable faith in the eight members who met together for the first time on the 14th of February, 1877, to discuss the problem of organizing a Church of Christ in Minne apolis, when it is remembered that they had no church edifice to worship in and no money to purchase one. The success of the young church can be traced to the fact that they had a number of brave, true, conse crated women among them who loved their Lord and would not give Him up. This fact was clearly set forth by Miss Choate, who represented the Ladies' Aid society, iv a terse and graphic paper in which the brethren came out second best. The clerk of the church, George Soublette, in a clear, business-like report of the history of the church, showed that the first busiuess meeting, consisting ot twenty-five mem bers, took place on Feb. 25, 1877, in a small church • still standing on the corner of Ninth street and Fifth avenue south. In May following the church was fully organ ized and thirty-three persons signed the covenant, whicli bound them to take the word of God, as found in the Bible, as their only creed and the will of Him who Is their great teacher, as their only guide in the conduct of life. They also agreed to abandon and forever repudiate all party names to designate their church, and agreed to be called by the name of Him alone, who is the center and life of the whole system. Under this covenant, so simple and yet so comprehensive, the youug organization has grown and strengthened until 200 names have been added to the church; S3 of these have left the city, and 12 have gone home, leaving a membership at the present date of 105 members. The growth of a church is frequently found by the amount ol money they expend upon it. In 1880 there were fifty-three members, who expended SSOO. In 1885 there were 105 members, who raised and disbursed nearly $3,000. showing a very large percentage gained in members and means during five years. This young organization, according to the showing of the various committees, has a nourishing Sunday school, a very effective Ladies' Aid society, a mission baud of fifty children, aud Dtlier organizations, such as Bible class and literary society, all in active operation. The ;hurch also gives liberally to home and for eign missions. It is fortunate in having some thoughtful business men watching over its interests, the result of which has put the church into possession of some very fine lots in the comer of Portland avenue and Eleventh street south, worth in the market to-day 5i. 500, with but a com paratively small amount of debt upou it. A handsome church structure is to be erected at an early day. With such surroundings, and with a people so consecrated to the work, a bright future lor this church is augured. DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

Thomas Lowry to Chicago News— thine most talked of in our city at present is the industrial exposition which we are going to open next fall. It is not to be es tablished for only one year, but it is to be a permanent institution. Just like the exposi tion here in Chicago, and we shall try to make it outrank yours in point of variety of display and general Interest. We have a big country up there to draw upon, both for exhibits and for patronage. I have been East for a week or two, but 1 under stand that the committee has accepted a plan for the building which will iv man** respects eclipse those used for a similar purpose in the older cities of the country. A good deal of attention will be paid to making it attractive externally. It is in tended that the interior arrangement shall be everything that can be desired. A fund of about 8400,000 lias already been raised, and the work of construction will be com menced as soon as the weather will permit. The contracts will lie drawn up so as to guarantee its completion by the end of next August. There can be no question of the exposition being a success, as our people never fall to support any enterprise which is for the bene tit of the entire community. Our fairs have always drawn immense crowds, and, as the exposition will have numerous attractions which the fairs lacked, it will no doubt be even more potential in bringing visitors to the city. *"•.* Col. King, on North American Telegraph Company— Our contracts with the United lines has been revised and definitely agreed upon, and is, in some respects, even more favorable to the North American company than the original draft presented to our stockholders. Contracts forwire have been made subject to approval of the board of directors, and at very favorable rates. Con tracts for poles have been let and negotia tions for right of way are pending. The building of the line will be pushed as soon as the weather and conditions will permit We shall select offices at once, probably in the Temple Court, and by June 1 we shall have the best built, best equipped, and best managed line of telegraph to be found in this or any other country. Benedict and Burnham, of Waterbury, Conn., get the contract for the copper wire. *** Editor of the Western Appeal, (colored Peoples' Organ) — We want to see our men help clean the streets. We want to see our men guardians of the peace. We want to see our men rewarded for party work equally with others. We do not ad vocate leaving the Republican party, but we do warn that party that a continued neglect on its part for us will cause it to lose many a negro vote. We have received no recog nition from the Republican govemiribnt of Minneapolis, though we did under; Mayor Ames. We have also been recognized by the Democratic government of SI PauL We are fast learning who are our "friends. HOTEL GOSSIP. The Clark house ou Sunday evening had a sensation. Oue of the girls of the .-Ju venile "Mikado" company, a young' 1 blonde who is considerably under twenty years of age, suddenly disappeared. The • other members of the company sang and talked until nearly 10 o'clock, but still the young lady did not appear. A search for her was finally instituted, but without success. Finally the manager, who stopped at the Nicollet house, was routed out of bed, but his presence failed to produce the missiug damsel, and the huut was given . up, but not until midnight had passed. At 6 o'clock in the morning the night clerk admitted the missing female, who explained that she had been visiting a friend, and that it was no body's particular business as to where she had passed the previous evening. *.* Judge M. R. Tyler of Fergus Falls was discovered wandering about tiie corridors of the Nicollet house last evening. _.- Judge Tyler was formerly of Connecticut," and only regrets that he did not sooner,' take Horace Greeley's advice. lie report* that the Fifth district's politics are. in a of chaos. White he is a firm believer in Republicanism, he does not appear to be at all confident that Knute Nelson, the Alex andria attorney, will continue to occupy a seat in congress. ***ll**i!*fEAPO*_lS SPORTS. BASE BALL. There is now little doubt that the North western base ball league will be organized. Ted Sullivan Is a' rustler, and he has gone to work in dead earnest. Yesterday Lucas. the Duluth manager, arrived, and a tele gram was received from Eau Claire stating that they were all ready there, and Mil waukee has signified its willingness to come in. The Minneapolis boys have al ready secured adequate financial backing and will proceed at once to organize a team, and it is not at all improbable that Charley Ganzel, who made such a flattering record in the Philadelphia league team last year, will be behind the bat in this city. Corre spondence with Billy O'Brien has been opened and his friends here expect to induce him to come, It is understood that a meet ing will be held in Eau Claire on the 24th to perfect an organization. Ted Sullivan has been named for ' president, J. E. Whit comb for treasurer, and a Milwaukee man for secretary. Sullivan and Whitcomb visited St Paul yesterday and their over tures were well received. , NOTES. * Several sports offered odds on Col. Mo- Laugblin last night In the wrestling match with Moth.

Various Aldermanlo Contests and General Gossip of the Polit ical Arena. With tbe Republican, in the Minneapolis ; mayorality contest, it is merely » question whether Mayor Pillsbury *•*"'••" maintain bis | spinal column in its present rigid perpendic- j ularity, or whether be will hearken to tbe j Macedonian cry for aid that is going up all j along the line. While be knows full well j that it is the Pillsbury money and not tbe , PilLsbur> man that Is the object of that j plaintive cry, yet the politicians and organs J are endeavoring to beguile hi- souses with : the siren song of "duty and obligation to i bis party." While it was perfectly known j that it was a part of the play to make ibis ' appeal, there Is no reason to believe that ! Mr. Pillsbury was privy to it or that be ! will give ear to it, or even that the thrilling j whisper, already heard, that "the Demo crats are in terror of him," will induce blm .to change his mind. Desperation bas prompted tbe appeals and desperation prompts such sugar coating as this, from a column editorial appeal in yesterday's Tribune: There are times in the history of any man's life when he may be called to perform a public duty, and no matter how irksome t that duly may seem, the people have the ! right to demand that sacrifice at the hands of ! that man especially If be be holding a public j office. : •'■;- ■■■-.- If any further indications were needed of the desperate strait to which the Repub licans are driven, it would be found In this same Tribune editorial, which resorted to the lowest form of abuse to take the place of conspicuously absurd argument. The following sentence is a fair sample: ; The City of Miuneapoiis bad become one ' of tbe worst governed and most notorious cities in tbe Union. Oamblitur hells, froe rum and open harlotry were tbe prominent features of the local misrule which reigned in the city. No citizen of Minneapolis but robbed of his partisan prejudice, would rise up to re buke such a slander. No business man. no merchant, no Investor in Minneapolis but knows that in the years IS_*_ and 1.5*1 Min neapolis SPRA-fO TO THE FRONT in that unexampled advance that challenged the admiration of the world. In those years, with a smaller revenue, the public J Improvements were greater, tbe transfer* of real estate were greater, the number of houses erected was larger than ever before or since. It was then the city experienced tbat wonderful boom, in every manner and in every department, that made her the cynosure of tue tuition's eyes. It was then that her streets were crowded with strang ers and her hotels thronged with guests; It was theu that her retail merchants and her wholesale dealers reaped cash harvests. Those were the years when the city was under the "local misrule"' the Tribune re fers to. Happy for Minneapolis could she return to them— and she wilL • The people chafe under the hypocritical yoke which controls them and the Ides of April will MS them throw It off. Tbe people despise a puritanical administration wbich would exercise a censorship over their morals while trampling under foot their material welfare. Sucb was the impetus the city attained during the year ending in April. 1834, that even the maladministration of the past two years could not entirely check it deeply as lit bas been felt Nothing but the manifest destiny of Minneapolis has carried it for ward, clogged and hampered as it was. When Col. Charles W. Johnson was pre paring his Tale of Two Cities, and had statistics at his lingers' ends, he said: "The great boom of Minneapolis was during 15. 2 and 18S3. It was then she left St Paul behind. But in the past year St Paul has shown by far the greater proportionate gain." The meaning of these truisms is apparent Minneapolis so long as she was under a liberal administration and broad gauge policy made great onward strides, but at once slackened, when the narrow gauge transfer was made, A year ago St Paul adopted tbe liberal system and immediately her great strides began. And now Minne apolis people do not propose to perpetuate their blunder, and well the Republicans know it Democracy Is the spirit of progress | in the Northwest and the masses believe it. Let the Tribune abandon its policy of abuse before it proves a boomerang. Abuse has been tried by Republican papers too often already, It is not insignificant that from the once solid ranks of foreign born Republicans, the Democratic converts are numerously appearing. These people re member how they were deceived witb bug bears during tbe last presidential campaign ami they cannot be hoodwinked again. They know where there material interests lie. Let the Tribute call in Its mud. The Republican Mercury recognizes the necessity of decency and fair play in this campaign, for it says: The gentlemen who are now editing the Tribune started in on a line of policy this morning that will bo displeasing and unsatis factory to tbe Republicans in this city. The Republicans of Minneapolis learned a lesson once that will never be forgotten. It was this, that untruthful, exaggerated and malicious statements about Dr. Ames always reacted upon the party, or candidate that counte nanced them. • • • Flashy allegations and slanderous accusations against the oppo sition cannot elect a Republican, but they will do the other thing. ." . . ; Col. Kins' "Respectfully Declines. The announcement in Monday's Globe that a select ring of prominent Republicans decided that Col. W. S. Kins was the proper man to be their candidate for mayor, created wide-spread comment While the selection was indorsed by many of that political creed, elsewhere it produced great indignation, and there was a general out- j cry against "the handful of autocrats who presumed to dictate to the party.'' Yester day afternoon CoL K"ini_ returned from the East and was immediately jumped upon by a half-dozen reporters with the question: "Will you be the Republican candidate for mayor?" "Under no circumstances." he replied, ! "will 1 or can I be a candidate for tbe ! office. I believe George A. PUlsburv should • be renominated, and will use my endeavors j to have him reconsider his determination to retire from the field." Those who kuow Col. King best say this : final, though others intimate that old ' Theumaturgus is only waiting to be coaxed. General Political Rossi*. William McArdle, who has been men tioned in connection with the Third ward aldermanic campaign, has announced thai he is not a candidate. lie had one struggle, and is tired of politics. Matt Giasse has , also declined to be sacrificed, ills busi ness as a green grocer demands all his time and attention. This narrows the mailer down in the Democratic field to Charles C. Hasbow, the present incumbent Daniel Waittand CF. Baxter, the attorney. Each has bis personal following, and can boast considerable strength. Tbe ward is Demo cratic, and either ought to be elected under ordinary circumstances. Among the Re publican aspirants. Bernard Hunt be who has just had a hand-to-hand encounter with Corser and Barnes on the question of straightening Plymouth avenue. Ls perhaps the most prominent Dr. Nye ls willing to become a servant of the people, but it is thought that he cannot carry, the primaries, It is thought that Peter Raven has with drawn from the contest. *** t 7 .'-...': I Aid. Downs, or "Tom,*? as he to famil iarly known. Is one of the enthusiasts of tbe Republican party, and the allegation that he said he knew that a number of Democrats had called upon Mayor Pillsbury and importuned bim to run again, is there- ' I fore discredited. 'Tom" say*, he does not care a tinker's "cuss* who the Republicans nominate, they will carry the election. That shows that he is over-confident "Tom" lives in the banner Republican ward of the city, but Doc Ames carried it once, and if nominated, may be able to carry It again. o ■ • ■ The piece of Republican bombast to the effect that this to to be a campaign to decide whether the city government shall be run on a "wide-open" policy or not, will not wash. The issue to grossly exaggerated. Literally, it to whether It shall be a liberal or a narrow-gauge or iron-dad government * _«• • "It was with no little gratification that I read the Globe's interview with H. C. Morse,** remarked one of tbe prominent Democrats to a reporter yesterday. "I was somewhat afraid that Henry would de cline to enter the lists, but now that he to in.

They claim that the East side to entitled to a mayor once in an age. and assert that this is the East side year. The stone arch bridge and exposition schemes bare incited the First and Second wards to action. Tbey evidently think.they can get almost any thing they want •** Since H. E. Blaisdell has withdrawn his name as an aldermanic candidate in the First ward. Aid. Comstock has been appar ently left an easy path to walk through the primaries. He probably appreciates the tact, however, that there to a wide differ ence between getting bis name on a ticket and in getting a majority of those tickets placed in the ballot boxes. His opponent will probably be either Harry Burke or John Norton. The rivalry between those two gentlemen to of a friend char acter and not calculated to create a fac tional fight They have mutually agreed to support the nominee of the party. V» Although Aid. Matt Walsh, the veteran municipal legislator from the Sixth ward, has not openly declared himself, there is no doubt that he will serve his party another three years. He has often been in the field as a candidate for office, but has never suffered the humiliation of a defeat nor to he liable to. Three years ago a strenuous effort was made by the Republicans to elect Mr. Applebv of twine-binder fame over Mr. Walsh, but Matt's personal popularity, coupled with his tact and the possession of the utmost confidence of his constituency, carried him through the battle without a scratch. Considering the wealth of Mr. Appleby, the vast campaign fund raised by the Republicans and the advantages cast on his side of the scales owing to business con nections, it to a sufficient testimonial to Aid. Matt Walsh's strength at the polls to say that Matt was elected. * * The confidence expressed by the little handful of Aid. Lawrence's supporters in their ability to re-elect him in the Eighth ward Is truly amusing. They are certainly entitled to considerable credit for their pluck, at least * * * Aid. Cutler has the support of his fellow council men In the Fifth ward, and will un doubtedly carry the primaries as If by storm. Ills opponent at the polls will be bo James Tamm, who made a noble run last spring. • * * "A. J. Noerenber has made a capital alderman." said a liberal-minded Seventh ward Republican yesterday. "Although he differs with me ou a strict partisan isssue 1 shall vote for his return If he gets the nom ination. He has secured for us a deal of valuable legislation, and it Is that which we desire more than it is politics." and the lib eral-minded Republican voiced a prevailing sentiment . .'...•' -— ■ m— — Smoke Live Oak Cigar.
