FROM THE FLOUR CITY. The Mercury Bicycle Club Gives a Bene fit to Stevens, the Great All Around 'Cyclist. Kacy Testimony in the Dillon Case—The Loyal Legion Has a Royal Feast. George Merrill Makes Two Attempts at Suicide--Tlie Work at Various Mills. A Little Racket At a Salvation Meet- Ins—The Catholic Knights of Minnesota. BICYCLISTS BANQUET. Thomas Stevens the Honored Guest of the mercury Club. The presence of Thomas Stevens iii the city gave the Mercury Bicycle club an op portunity to show the distinguished 'cyclist what Minneapolis hospitality is, an oppor tunity which it gladly improved, and last night the club gave a banquet at the West to the greatest bicyclist, and one of the greatest travelers, in the world. The ban quet board was spread in the club room, and was beautifully ornamented with gar lands of smilax and pyramids of fruit. The menu was one of the choicest that has been served ot the West for some time past, and during the fast bicycle stories and talk of the wheel aud wheelmen was indulged in. The toast of the evening was responded to by the guest of the club, Mr. Stevens, who gave in a modest quiet way a conversational narrative of some of the strange experiences which his strange journey had brought him, dwelling particularly on tales of Constanti nople and Asia. Mr. Stevens is a sturdy looking young man, and he has about him an air of determination which was fully ex emplified iv the 1 ong and perilous journey which he has just completed, having gone round the world on his wheel, The club was proud in being able to honor a man so famed in wheeling circles, and the members were happy in finding in the great rider a very pleasant gentleman. Those present were: Thomas Stevens. John Nicholson. L. B. Graves, J. F. Cutler, O. W. Smith, Bert Smith, It. H. Spear, Daniel Jones, Harry Hannaford, E. A. Savage, David Falter, P. A. Scheie:, Theodore A. Slosson, Harry Van Anda, F. E. Read, J. F. Wilson, James Stock dale. SHE GOES SCOT FREE. The Dillon Woman Discharged After Racy Testimony. Judge Young's court room was filled yes terday morning with a motly crowd when the case of the state against Josephine Dil lon, charged with being a procuress, was called. All classes of people were repre sented, from the genuine tough to the man of leisure, who had come to hear any pe culiar testimony that might be introduced. The Dillon woman— it would be more proper to say girl, for she is only 15 or 16 years of age—was handsomely attired. Her cloak was a rich one, and set off her fine figure admirably. Her black hair was neatly coiled at the back of her head, and was half covered by a jaunty blue, high hat of a peculiar shape. The girl looked nearer 25 than 15, and the sarcastic smile that played upon her face did not do much to ward enhancing her beauty, of which she has a fair share. The two girls, Rosie Goodman and Cora Le Roy, whom she was charged with abducting, wero present, and watched the proceedings with evident in terest. There were two charges against Mrs. Dillon, the first being that she had enticed the Goodman girl into a house of prostitution on First street, with the intention of having her ruined. When placed on the stand she told a pretty straight story. She recounted how she had become acquainted with Mrs. Dillon, and said that she had been with her a great deal of the time. Some months ago, she said, she went to a lodging house on First av enue south with Mrs. Dillon. While there Mrs. Dillon said she was going to send alter a man, and that if Rosie would do as she said she could wear diamonds and never have to work anymore. When the man Mrs. Dillon sent for came, she greeted him as "French 7Doc."'-' The three then went to a room on the third floor, and Mrs. Dillon left the man and Rosie together, after cau tioning the girl not to be foolish. Accord ing to the girl's story "Doc" offered her §10 to drink with him. She refused and started to go out, when the man took hold of her. pulled her back and locked the door. He then renewed his proposition, and on the girl's refusing he asked her what she came there for if she did not intend to submit to his desires. He let her go then, saying she would be sorry for refusing to do as she was asked. Mrs. Dillon put in an appearance at this juncture and the party adjourned to the iiack, which was in waiting. The man intimated that Mrs. Dillon would get $20 and the girl herself 820 if she would do as he wanted. "Mrs. Dillon again told me to stay with him." said the witness, "but 1 did not want to. That night 1 stayed at Mrs. Dillon's house, and in the. morning had another talk about the man with Mrs. Dillon. Some two or three weeks later I was up at Mrs. Dillon's house, and she wanted me to go down to her sister's place on First street. She again renewed her; talk about the man 'Doc,' and said if I did i as she told me I could wear nice clothes all the time. 1 went down to Lou Fetter's place and there met 'Doc,' who wanted me to sleep with him, but I would not do it." Officer Ed Grace was next called to the stand, but before he could tell his story the case was nolled, as it was found that no corroborative evidence could be introduced. The case against Mrs. Dillon, charged with abducting Cora Le Roy under similar cir cumstances, was also nolled for the same ! reason. Mrs. Goodwin and Mrs. Le Roy became somewhat excited when the cases were dismissed, and declared that justice be done, come what might. When the Goodman girl was on the stand she ad mitted that she frequented concert halls to a considerable extent, and that on more than one occasion she had drank beer and smoked cigars. AND hO WONDER. George Merrill, a. Painter, Slakes Two Attempts at Suicide. George Merrill, a painter, who, in com pany with a prostitute known as Ruby Har rington, appears to have been streaking the town with carmine, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Officer Schroeder. Last evening he tied his suspenders around his heck and managed to hang himself to the door of his cell at the central station. When discovered he was nearly insensible. Later on he cut his left wrist with a small knife, which he had concealed in one of his shoes. He was finally strapped up to prevent any further suicidal attempts. Merrill is the man who was once arrested upon suspicion of having started a number of incendiary fires in business blocks, but was acquitted. He created a sensation Tuesday night by falling in a fit iv front of the Theater Comique. He was accompa nied by the same woman, who was arrested for drunkenness at the time and fined in the municipal court for the offense yesterday morning. __ ROBERT SCHUMANN, The Eminent Composer, Considered as a Genius and a JTlitn. M. L. Quinn delivered the thirteenth lecture to the Musical association of Geth semane church at its last meeting. In this lecture Robert Schumann was considered as a genius and a man. Schumann, like all the other masters was taught to compose music when a child. He composed nicely when 7 years of age. When a master he wrote.. "The result of mere executive technique is to be combated as inartistic," and calls all who pretend to teach, without character or knowledge, Philistines, etc. He, as all other true teachers of music, insists that all students of music should compose music. If one would understand an author, as Shakespeare or Milton, he must know the meaning of the words they use. If one thoroughly understands any -word they can use it correctly in all its various functions. A parrot can not do this. In music chords are words. If one can tell all the functions of a chord and pronounce ii correctly in its various powers or offices, then he ceases to be a parrot and becomes j an artist. Execution is a servant of intelli gence, the same as oratory. Who. would think of teaching a pupil to recite a poem or piece of prose without knowing the mean ing of the words that it contained? Why not use a little common sense in teaching music. The dictionary of music contains thirty-four words or functions. Every function or chord (word) has its peculiari ties. One of these is always played loud, another softer, and so on through the series. Some chords are always ritarded and others always accelerated. Any two educated musicians will always accent, etc., the same combinations, only differ ing in intensity according to the peculiar status of their emotional natures at the! time of performance. This emotional variance is what we call character and is legitimate. Mr. Quinn points to the writing of Robert Schumann and all other true art istsouthis point. Schumann isa champion of virtue and teaches that one to excell in music must be pure. i. c., must have char acter as well as intelligence and technique. Technique is taught for music. This is wrong. Ink is not printing, neither is this or that ease of type, or skill in setting them. All are essentials. Schumann al ways recommends piano-students to study singing and composition as well as finger gymnastics. Gymnastics is a science. Music is an art. Fine arts use the mind. BATTLE OF MINE RUN. Discussed, Together With a Feast, By the Loyal Legion. The military order of the Loyal Legion, Minnesota Commandery, gathered in force at the West last night, iv regular monthly session. Lieut. Col. C. G. Edwards, Lieut R. L. Moore, Capt. James Compton, Capt. F. W. Seeley and Maj. C. N. Hewitt were elected to membership. The literary part of the evening entertainment consisted of a paper by Col. E. C. Mason, of Fort Snell ing, on the battle of Mine Run, an episode in the Wilderness campaign. A large map of the region between Washington and Richmond was used to point out the lines of march. The paper was a scholarly criticism of the plans and working of the Wilderness campaign, recounting the great difficulties with which the Union army had to contend, and detailing minutely the movement of the speakers own command previous to and during the engagement at Mine Run. Gen. Mason has, in an eminent degree, the power of making descriptions so realis tic that the scence he talks of is presented like a picture to the mind, and the deeply interested listeners seemed, for the time, again on bloody fields in the old war days. A vote of thanks rewarded the gentleman's effort. After the conclusion of the address, the members partook of an excellent collation, during which grim war was the subject of of conversation. Those present were: J. V. C, Gen. J. W. Bishop, recorder, Maj. G. Q. White. U. S. A., Chaplain E. D. Neil!, Gen. S. P. Jennison, Col. Charles Bentzoni, U. S. A. and Maj. C. J. Allen. U. S. A., Gen.

The Northwestern Miller, in its issue of to-day, will say: The mills endeavoring to run with water power alone last week did not accomplish very satisfactory results, and it was left lor steam to keep up the flour output, furnishing about 70 per cent of the motive power. The product of the week ending Jan. 20 was 111. -820 barrels, averaging 15,974 barrels daily lor sevon days, against 109, barrels the pre ceding week, and 88,480 barrels for the corre sponding time in 188f>. About the same state of affairs exists among the mills as a week ago, there being no pool and those not em ploying stream getting along in an indifferent way. The latter class, seven in number, at the best are not able to run stronger than two-thirds capacity, and most of them do not got above one-half. There are five mills operated either wholly or partly by steam, and together the twelve concerns are getting out between 13.000 and 14,000 barrels daily. If there was a pool to regulate the use of the water it would be much better for all con cerned, as, when a mill did run, it could do much more satisfactory work. While a pool is occasionally referred to, however, there seems little prospect of one being formed soon. Millers complain of the Hour market being very dull, and some say that if matters do not improve, they will shut down as soon as orders en hand are filled. Operations are made more expensive by the shortage of power, and there is little inducement to try to run. The exports last week were again light, and one firm sent out the bulk of the amount reported. CATHOLIC KNIGHTS. ii Their Biennial state Convention in' Session. " ■ The biennial state convention of the! Catholic Knights ot Minnesota was called to order at Association ball yesterday after noon, with the following delegates present- D. F. O'Brien, Thomas Hunt, New Prague, and W. S. Brog, Winona; E. J, Gallenbeck, Shakopee; W. L. Kelly, Jr., St. Paul: C. 11. Heffron, J. F. Spencer, Rochester; T. Dunphy, Duluth; W. F. McCarthy. E. F. Scallon, Minneapolis.- Reports from the several officers were received, which showed the order to be in a nourishing condition in the state, and active measures were taken for increasing the membership. The elec tion of officers for the next two years re sulted in the choice of the following named gentlemen: President, C. 11. Heffron, Rochester; vice president, T. Dunphy, Du luth; secretary, E. F. Scallon. Minneapolis; treasurer, T. J. Slavens, Winona; state spiritual director, Rev. J. B. Cotter, Wi nona; delegates to the supreme session of the Catholic Knights of America at Chi cago, May 12, C. H. Heffron and W. L. Kelly, Jr., St. Paul. The next convention will be held in St. Paul. WITNESSES HISSED While Testifyinsr in an Eighth Ward Blind Pier Case. The case against A. Kennison, charged with running a "blind pig" out on Nicollet avenue, was called in the district court yes terday afternoon and attracted considerable attention. When the two agents of the Eighth Ward Law and Order league took the stand to give their, testimony an involuntary hiss escaped from the lips of the spectators. Both men said they were employed by the league and were to re ceive $25 for each conviction they secured. The principal witness was Wil liam Carter. Numerous witnesses were sworn to impeach his character. The case was submitted to the jury late yesterday afternoon, and the verdict will probably be announced this morning. Mortuary Statistics. Dr. Quinby, the health officer, reports that during the month of January 131 deaths occurred in the city, of which 15 were from pneumonia, 11 diphtheria, 4 croup. 9 puerperal fever, 12 heart disease, 13 consumption, 6 typhoid fever, 5 acci dents, 1 suicide, 1 infanticide, 7 peritonitis. 3 scarlet fever and 1 measles. Twenty died in the First ward, 8 in the Second, 20 in the Third, 10 in the Fourth, 13 in the Fifth, 30 in the Sixth. 7 in the Seventh and 14 in the Eighth. The birth places of the deceased were: Scandinavia, 22; United States, 46; England. 1; Ireland, 4; Germany, 8; Can ada. 4; Russia, 2; Scotland, 1; Bohemia, 1; unknown. 1; city, 37. Total, 181. Pronounced a Fabrication. To say that a family living in this great city is dying of starvation and freezing with cold is to reflect on the kindness -and even the humanity of neighbors, and this is the way some of the Seventh ward people look at: it On Tuesday an evening paper ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. THTJBSIIAY MORNING. FEBRTTABY 3, 1887. exhaused its display type in headlining an ! I account of the sufferings of several families ' i left \ utterly destitute. Among these was i that of William MoClure, of the Seventh | j ward, which was portrayed as being in the ! i depths of misery and despair. Yesterday I morning- a delegation of ' Seventh warders i called at the Globe office and pronounced the story a base fabrication. Samuel King, 2607 Seventeenth avenue; W. 11. Forney, 2742 Bloomington: H. J. Wood, 2219 Six teenth avenue; I. C. Dexter, 2523 Fifteenth avenue; J, Herberg. 2603 Seventeenth ave nue, and George Hanuin, 2600 Eighteenth aven tie, composed the party. It seems that one of the party, read the article, and being greatly shocked that such suffering should j exist at their very doors, informed the j others, and a relief party was organized. Laden with wood, coal and provisions, the party went to McClure's house, but instead 1 of the abject poverty pictured, found the j family in need of none of the necessaries of 1 life and in ■ ordinarily good circumstances. j The Samaritan party was highly indignant, j as was McClure, and the committee desired the article denounced in the strongest terms, A correction headed ''A Base Fabrication" was written and signed by the gentlemen given above. A Salvation Army Episode. Capt. Nordell and Cadet Keith, who were expected to arrive last evening from St. Louis to take charge of the Salvation Army, did not > come, and are not now ex pected before Saturday. Cadet Will Reed, of : St. Paul, is in charge of the.barracks in the meantime. Last evening Market hall was crowded with people, who came to witness the performances of the converts. Several attempts were made to disturb the the meeting by roughs. Finally a news boy was areested by the special policemen in charge. At this Mrs. Sarah Fair arose and said that she would be responsible for the conduct of the boys. If any one was arrested she would go to the lock-up in his stead. This had a subduing effect on the hundred' or so street gamins, and the meet ing proceeded without any more trouble. Board of Trade Protesters. Judge Atwater yesterday named the committees created at the last board of trade meeting to interview the council. The committee to urge that the Franklin avenue bridge have one channel span at least 300 feet long is composed of J. C. Reno, A. B. Nettleton, J. S. Pillsbury, Ezra Farnsworth, Jr., and O. C. Merriman. The members of the committee to protest against the build ing of the bridges at least within two years are Col. W. S. King. B. F. Nelson, D. Morrison, E. Farnsworth, Jr., A. J. Blethen, E. S. Corser, J. C. Reno, J. T. Wyman, A. B. Barton. A. S. Boardman, L. Swift, Jr., O. C. Merriman and H. A. Town. Sewer Bids. The committee on sewers met yesterday afternoon and received proposals for the stone work of the Northeast Minneapolis sewer tunnel. The following bids for the stone work, per cubic yard, were received: Theilen & Lennehan, footing, $1.25; rub ble, $1.47; paving. §2.45; Thomas Daly, footing, S3; rubble, 52.25; paving, $2.25; concrete. 53.25; Trauior Bros., foot ing, 33.25; rubble, $1.60; paving, $2.20; concrete. $1.25; John Balterson, footing, $2.50; rubble, $1.75; concrete $1. The bid of Theilen & Lennehan, being the lowest, was accepted. A POOR MAN'S COVKT. [Justice Jurisdiction Within tbe City ffOrj ...^llo9 f 'Minneapolis. To the Editor of the Globe. The constitution of this state provides for two justices' courts in nearly every organ ized town in tbe state for the trial of minor criminal offenses and of civil actions when the amount at issue is $100 or less. Any per son, no matter bow illiterate or ignorant of our laws, can have his complaint heard and decided by the justice without being forced to employ an attorney. These courts are es tablished for the benefit of the common peo ple, where the humblest citizen can obtain justice fully and without unnecessary cost. In this city the reverse is the case. No man can get justice here that has a small claim to collect. The red tape machinery of the mu nicipal court would discount Dickens' cir cumlocution office. I have an instance where an honest, hard-working mechanic has been literally robbed in this court and defrauded of his honest earnings by the ruling of • a judge that is supposed to dispense justice. Senator Clough in seeking to remedy the ex isting evil should bring in a bill establishing justices' courts in this city. Two, at least, as provided by tho constitution and sanctioned by universal custom. Minneapolis boars the odium of being the only city in Christendom that has not a poor man's court. Shall such a state of things louger exist? Mac. Minneapolis, Feb. 2. AT THE THEATERS. The center section of the orchestra chairs at the Grand opera house last night presented a solid phalanx of the gaily colored suits of the Seven Corners and St. George's Snow Show clubs, of St. Paul, which came to wor ship at the shrine of Maggie Mitchell. The Seven Corners club numbered eighty-five men and was headed by the Metropolitan band. : Tho St. George's turned out eighty men and were accompanied by the Sons of Veterans drum corps. The clubs made a fine appearance oa tbe streets, and con tributed largely to the enthusiastic applause that greoted Miss Mitchell whenever she ap peared upou the stage in the "Pearl of Savoy." At the close of the first act she was presented with a silk toque, scarf and badge .by the Seven Corners club, and the enthusiasm Knew no bounds when she wore them in the second act:' -This evening the Columbia Snow "Shoe club.of'StUPaul, will be present by in vitation. The play will be "Maggie the Midget." ,:•'!■: The. bill at Pence opera bouse will he changed this evening to "Queen's Evi dence," which will run for the balauce of the week. The Night Owls drew another large house at the Comique last evening. Crowded houses are the rule at Sackett & Wiggins' dime museum. ALL SORTS. Ed A. Stevens—My proper title is brigadier general, and 1 guess you had better use that hereafter when speaking of me. lam not "colonel." County Attorney F. F. Davis won the ad miration of every person in Judge Young's court room yesterday by retaining his senses when seven women and two girls surrounded him and began to fire questions at him at the ■ rate of ninety-seven a minute. He answered every one and then resumed his work with a smile lighting up bis benign face. General Manager Palmer—Children are the . best advertisers the Exposition has. They . see everything, and then go home and de scribe whatever interests them to their parents, and thus interest the old people. A child can describe more as the result of one visit than the average man can see in ten, and as children always tell what pleases ' them, it is a good thing to encourage their ' presence at the show.. [ Gov. McGill will certainly not be at a loss for candidates for the proposed additional judgeship of this district. The friends of [ Seaerrave Smith, Judge Fish and Col. Hicks , are actively circulating petitions among the ' members of the Hennepin county bar for the appointment of these gentlemen. Robert D. Russell and Fred Hooker are candidates, and City Attorney Cross also has aspirations; doubtless the coming days will reveal addi tional lawyers willing to wear the Judicial : ermine. Some of the Republican papers are endeav- ' oring to couvey an impression that the Dem ocrats are behind the movement for calling 1 public meetings in opposition to the proposed commissions. The object of this is to induce l the legislature to believe only Democrats op pose these schemes, and in hope of having them passed by partisan votes. Of course, ' the statements arc untrue. The Democrats, as a rule, are opposed to the commissions, for , the Democrats are usually found on the side j of the people, but the meetings are called by the laboring people, without regard to poli tics. - The" papers, making such assertions '. know this full well, knowing the. list of sign ers, but they have nothing in common with the laboring classes, and . naturally oppose anything originating with the working peo- ' pie. The board of trade should feel compli- 1 meutcd. It has at last been recognized by an ' outside organization, inasmuch as it has been 1 roundly condemned by the Franklin avenue ,' people for opposing their ' bridge. It seems a little singular : bat the board should have waited until this late date to formulate its opposition. The Franklin bridge is no new thing. It has long " been discussed and was last fall the most i prominent issue in South side politics. It has ( been discussed in council and was canvassed and reported upon by the engineer's depart- , ment. It was before the legislature and tbe • Issue of bonds has been authorized by due ! process of law. Now, at this late date, the • board of trade interposes its puny opposition. However, it matters but little, :as the bridge '• will be built ;in :. spite of ' the opposition of ' forty boards of trade. . > - '-; The alleged rupture of the relations be tween Mayor Ames and Col. Glenn, as giver in yesterday's Globe, has | Bet the gossips bj the ears and the comments on the street have been numerous and varied. From later 're ports, the umbrageous tree of friendship which shaded thorn still flourishes in peren nial spring, but it is generally ; believed thai their relations are strained somewhat. There may be no open hostilities between them, but there is a sort of armed neutrality of feeling and hereafter when they walk down street to gether, the? will go in different directions and on opposite sides of the street. Some ol the Minneapolis people are grow ing very particular about their preachers anc object to their making money, for themselves to the expense of furnishing doctrine to theii flocks. It was Dot always so. Once upon time a minister devoted considerable of hit liesure to guessing tbo variations of th< wheat market, at about $100 per guess. H< guessed from the bull side and for a time guessed correctly, until wheat had climbed tt a considerable altitute; but he failed to lean of it when a big bear suddenly sat on-.the market and the first thing: he knew $10,001 bad been swallowed up in covering his short age. Still nobody objected and his floel landed him to the skies as a model of pious devoutness, though everybody in towr seemedjto know of this transaction. Patsy Cardiff should make the most of hi! haying while the suu shines. He is a heaj bigger man now than he will be when John L Sullivan's broken arm heals, and if Sullivar ever gets another chance at him—well. th« obituary is on the standing galley.Chicagt News. j£B^fl Minneapolis, with the aid of the grand jury, board of trade, ministers' associatior and Salvation army, is managing to struggle through a dull winter without the aid of any expensive outlay to furnish public entertain ment. It might be a matter of interest now tc know who "Frenchy Joe" is. In such a cast as that tried in the district court yesterday, no one should be allowed to hide behind £ nickname. From present indications it will be a cole winter when Chirm & Morgan make S3uO,OOC out of Minneapolis in ono season. The Chicago Times says it might be a bless ing to the country after all if John Lawrence Sullivan's arm is fixed so that he will be obliged to go to work. Here is February, and only eight weeks bo fore the aldermanic election and not a single candidate has publicly announced himself. But the snow banks are lined with patriots who are making a still hunt. "We are in a devil of a dilemma," said a Republican yesterday. "If we vote high li cense we lose votes; if we don't vote high li cense we lose votes. What are we going to do?" J. Newton Nind narrowly escaped being pulverized in the legislature recently. He used the name of Ryan, of Waseca, in the wrong place, and Ryan was about to eat him when friends interfered. CALLED IN COURT. Marriage license was issued yesterday to Albert R. Taudy and Fannie A. Walwrath. Howard Webber, indicted for grand larceny, pleaded guilty yesterday and took bis sen tence of two years at Stillwater very coolly. Charles H. Redding, charged with stealing Rev. Dr. Van Anda's overcoat and hat, was arraigned yesterday and will plead late on. Richard Dunnington, indicted for keeping his saloon open on Sunday and selling whisky on that day, pleaded not guilty yesterday. He will be tried Fob. Id. The case of Mrs. Poppleman against the city to recover damages for injuries received by falling on a defective sidewalk was begun before Judge Rea yesterday. A young Polauder, who did not know his own name, was sent to the insane asylum yesterday. He was picked up by the police. No one Knows anything about him. John Aspe, indicted for burglary, was ar raigned yesterday and pleaded no: guilty. This is the man who is supposed to have broken into Glenn's boiler works some time ago. John Cooper, William Ray and Thomas Doyle have filed in the district court protests against an order made by tho supervisors of the town of Bloomington laying out roads through their lands. The case of R. F. Lambrecht against tho Western Union Telegraph company to re cover heavy damages for a delayed telegram was tried yesterday before Judge Rea, aud a verdict of 37 cents ordered for the plaintiff. . Mr. and Mrs. It. W. Johnston filed a peti tion in the district court yesterday asking that they be allowed to adopt Ethel Clara Carlin. The child now resides at Mankato with her mother. Mr. Carlin deserted his wife some time ago. ■ ■ Charles P. Sullivan, indicted for forgery, yesterday pleaded guilty to forgery in the third degree, and was sentenced to Stillwater for one year. In passing sentence on him the judge said that it was too bad that a man's family should suffer for his crime, but the law made no distinction, so that it could not be helped. It is not generally known that an indict ment for grand larceny in the second degree is hanging over the real estate firm of Sbep ard & Maxon, but such Is the case, and fur thermore, has been on file for some months. The facts of the case are that Sbepard & Maxon sold a man real estate under false representations. Charles Wilson, indicted for keeping a "blind pig" out in the Eighth ward, was found not guilty yesterday and discharged. The defendant produced numerous witnesses to impeach the character of the 'spotter" who gave the information. This the judge ruled out, but the members of the jury evi dently had views of their own. MINNEAPOLIS GLOBULES. Yesterday was Candlemas day and was cele brated at all the Catholic churches in the city. George M. Harbiti has been appointed a deputy sheriff. . : Augustana Church society has asked for the resignation of the pastor, Rev. John Feru stedt, because he has accumulated consider able property. The burglary of the grocery store of James Falk, 2G09 Stevens avenue, Tuesday night, was reported to the police yesterday. The store was entered through a rear door, and a quantity of lard, tobacco and cigars, valued at $25, taken. Quite a row was kicked up at the dime museum last evening by a man who was ar rested by Officer Burleigh. The fellow re sisted and was assisted by a friend, but both were finally taken to the central station and locked up. Canton Minnesota No. 1, I. O. O. F., will hold its anniversary exercises this evening at Odd Fellows' hall. The address of welcome will be delivered by Capt. Robert Stratton. and the response by Col. George B. Arnold, of Kasson. Chevaliers will appear in full uni fotm. A hackman last evening jumped from his carriage at the corner of Nicollet and Wash ington avenues and assaulted a man who was walking quietly along with a lady. After giving tho man a good thumping and striking the woman the hackman mounted the box aud drove away. Mil The Crusaders' Total Abstinence society has decided to join the St. Paul Crusaders in an excursion to Stillwater, Feb. 20., The party will be met at the depot by the Still water Crusaders and will attend high mass at 10:30 o'clock, after which a visit will be paid the penitentiary. The first of the series of games in the checker tournament will take place this evening at the rooms of the Checker and Chess club in the Stillman block. The games will be between Black and Bockus and Kirk and Lee. Kirk is the ex-champion of Wis consin and all the men hold excellent records.

Davieson, S. B. Washburn, l A NEW LEASE OF LIFE. 5 When one has been suffering the agonies - of a severe ' attack of rheumatism, neural -1 gia or sciatica, and relief comes, it seems as " If a new lease of- life had been granted. , Such have been the feelings of thousands, I who, after trying physicians and number r less remedies bave used Athlophoros aud - found to their great joy that this medicine i really did cure these diseases. At Dubuque, la., the druggists say Ath lophoros beats them all. We thought it 1 would be like many other rheumatic mcdi- J cines that have been put on the market, t sell for a while, then gradually sink out of - our memory. But such is not the case with i Athlophoros; instead of our sales dimin i ishingthey increase, and what makes us 5 have more faith in its future mission is > that our customers come back and praise its J good work in the highest terms. Said one j druggist to the writer: "My confidence is . so great in Athlophoros that I often sell a c bottle with the understanding that if it is 3 not satisfactory 1 will refund the money. i I have never yet had to pay the mouey back." Mrs. C. J. Alabeck, 1067 Clay 5 street, Dubuque, la., says: "I was sub ' ject to frequent attacks of inflammatory [ rheumatism, and have been nearly all my , life; at times I would be almost helpless, ) When I commenced with the Athlophoros I was carrying my arm in a sling. I could I not move my fingers without causing me i pain. One evening while suffering this » way I heard of Athlophoros. Tha next day I sent for a bottle. 1 was a little afraid of it at first on account of the buz }; . zing sensation it caused in my head, but it , worked like a a charm, the swelling and the > pain were gone, my rheumatism was well. i It is now a year and a "half and I have not suffered any since." i Every druggist should keep Athlonhoros 1 and Athlophoros Pills, but where they can not be bought of the druggist the Athlopho ' ros company, 112 Wall street, ]Sew York. , will send either (carriage paid) on receipt of regular price, which is Si per bottle for . Athlophoros and 50 cents for Pills. , For liver and kidney diseases, dyspepsia. , indigestion, weakness, nervous debility, i disease of women, constipation, headache, impure blood, etc., Althlophoros Pills are i unequaled. • C. E. Pease, C. B. Williamson, E. Le Vine ' and C. D.

Some Weak Spots* in Our American Civilization. Denver Tribune. There is something wrong about that civilization which compels a women to work sixteen hours per day for six days iv a week iv order to earn 53.50. Unfortu nately there are women in large cities who ' have to work in this way. it is hard for people who have the means of supplying their daily wants to realize that any of their fellow-beings are doomed to a life of dark ness and grinding poverty such as these women endure. That women are in many cases underpaid for their services as seamtresses and as [ saleswomen in stores is unquestionably true. Hard-hearted as stone and cruel as a ', serpent is the man who will extort a profit from the poverty ot the women who work for him. But it would be folly to seek the cause of this evil'in nothing but the flinty heartedness of employers. The trouble is due, not to the form of government, nor to the organization of society, but to the civ ilization which drives women by the score into certain employments and keeps them out of others. When a dry goods merchant may take his choice from among twenty applicants for work at SO per week it is not to be expected that he will insist upon paying $10. The number of competitors in certain* lines of work reduces the wages. Women will work for starvation wages in a store or at sewing rather than secure a comfortable living by doing housework. There is something wrong about the civil ization which teaches a woman that it is more honorable to sew sixteen hours a day for starvation wages than it is to secure a comfortable living in domestic service. There are undoubtedly hundreds of women and girls working in stores or as seamstresses who have not one more whit of refinement, and are not in any respect better educated than girls who are employed as servants in house holds. But the former hold themselves far above the latter. The civilization is wrong which teaches young girls and women to make a distinction of this kind. It is also a wrong civilization which teaches young women whose parents are well able to provide tor them and who are surrounded by the comforts of home life that they are in duty bound to go out in the world and cdnipete with their less for tunate sisters in the struggle for a living. Home life and home work constitute the proper sphere for every woman, and it' is a false philosophy which tsaches anything else. The woman, whether married or un married, who cannot live at home and find employment in home work is unfortunate. But the unhappy condition of these unfor tunates is rendered all the more unhappy by the competition of girls who, although they have comfortable homes, will, for the sake of earning a pittance of pin money, seek employment as "salesladies," or clerks, or seamstresses. <^ How Tilings Got Mixed. Pittsburg Dispatch . "How are you?" said a bustling gentle man, entering the private office. "You are the head of the institution, I be lieve?" "We-el," responded the inmate of the office, "I am sometimes." "Ain't you Mr. Blank?" "Yes. sir." "I believe I did business with you as the head of the firm when 1 was here last." "Yes, I believe you did." "Has there been a change since then?" "Well, not exactly. But we placed a nady at the head of the sales department dot long ago, and sometimes it's a little tifficult to tell who is running the insti liition." A ford About Catarrh. "It is in the mucous membrane, that wonderful semi-fluid envelope surrounding the delicate tis sue of the air and food passages, that Catarrh makes its stronghold. Once established.it eats into the very vitals, and renders life but a long-drawn breath of misery and disease, dulling the sense of hearing, trammeling the power of speech, destroy ing the faculty of smell, tainting tbe breath, and killing tbe refined pleasures of taste, lnsiduously, by- creeping on from a simple cold in the head, it assaults the membranous lining and envelops the i bones, eating through the delicate coats and caus ing inflammation, sloughing and -death. Nothing short of total eradication will secure health to the patient, and all alleviates are simply procrasti nated sufferings, leading to a fatal termination. Sakford's Radical Cure by Inhalation and by Internal administration, has hever failed; even when the disease has made frightful inroads on delicate constitutions, hearing, smell • and taste have been recovered, and the disease thoroughly driven out." Saxfoed's Radical Cube consists of one bottle of the Radical Cure, one box Catarrhal Sol vent, . and, one Improved Inhaler, neatly wrapped in one package, with full directions; price, $1.00.
