■WASTING WELLS.
Wells and Cisterns Drying and the
River Supply Failing.
For some weeks past articles have
appeared in the daily papers in refer
ence to the short water supply of Min
neapolis and suggesting the possibility ;
of a water famine here this winter. But j
lew persons took any stock in these
reports, however, and only laughed at
the idea of Minneapolis, with her wealth j
of water, ever going dry. But it looks
now as though there would he hatd
times, so far as water is concerned, in
Minneapolis this winter. Wells all over
the city are dry or else beginning to
get so," and it is rarely that an"-**
water to amount to anything can __
found in the cisterns. Of course ther**
are some cisterns that are full or nearly
SO, but these cases are rare, and the
possessors may consider themselves in
great luck. '1 his drying up of wells and
emptiness of cisterns was caused by the
terrible drought which prevailed during
the fall, when for a period of nearly six
weeks scarcely a drop of rain
fell. This state of things prevailed
up to a short time ago. and the ex
treme doubt was manifested particu
larly by the heavy clouds of dust which
flew around the city, and covered every
thing that was capable of being covered
by anything. The streets were so dusty
that for the first time in a number of
years the sprinkling carts were called
into use during the month of November.
If the shortage of water was only in the
wells and cisterns the case would not be
so had. but the trouble is that it is in the
water department also, and even now
Minneapolis is being supplied with
7,000,000 gallons of water every twenty
four hours, when her regular consump
tion is 8,000,000. Even this early in the j
winter the West side pumping station
is not pumping much water, because
tin-re is not power enough to run the
pumps. For six weeks past the big
Jumbo pumps, one ot which will pump
more water than five of the small ones
now doing the work, have not been run
ning to any extent on account of there |
not being power enough to run them. j
The West side station is now |
pumping only about 3.500,000 gallons i
every "" twenty-four hours. much
less than the regular amount. But
this cannot be. helped. The main trou
ble is at the East side station, where
1,000,000 gallons less a day is pumped
than should be. This is due to the fact
that the city has not exercised proper
care, and has allowed the St. Anthony
Water Power company to appropriate
more water than rightly belongs to it.
But the facts remain that Minneapolis
is badly fixed in regard to her water sup
ply, and. unless some radical change is
made, there will be serious trouble be
fore spring.

LAST CHANCES.
The Week's Ending at the Thea
tars — General Notes.
The most profitable week's engage
ment at the Hennepin Avenue theater,
with the exception of Booth A Barrett.
has been that of Wilson & Rankin's
minstrels the current week. Notwith
standing the other numerous attractions
of Thanksgiving week, George Wilson
has appeared on every occasion to full,
and on two occasions to packed
houses. This entertainment simply
advertises itself, as it is in
reality the most laughable, com
ical, side-splitting performance ever
given in Minneapolis. George himself
is superlatively inimitable, and is most
happily seconded by Old Luke School
craft, the best specimen of the ignorant,
innocent plantation darkey on the
American stage. Only two more oppor
tunities for seeing the minstrels. This
afternoon at 2 p. in. matinee for ladies
and children. 25 and 50 cents to all parts
of the house, and to-night the usual
prices, 15 cents to SI.
Next Wednesday night Thomas Nast,
the most celebrated caricaturist in the
world, will give one of his original and
unique entertainments, illustrated in
bis happiest manner, at the Hennepin
vent:.- theater.
Robert Downing appeared for the
last time ! in "Spartacus" last night at
the Grand, a large audience being in at
tendance. This afternoon the bill will
be changed and the matinee will com
in .ence at 2, with "liigomar." To-night
"the last performance will he given with
Mr. Downing as Marc Antony in "Julius
Caesar," will be produced in the same
magnificent manner as was "Spartacus." |
The advance sale for the Boston |
Ideals, who appear at the Grand next '
week, opened yesterday briskly, with j
"Carmen*' and "The Daughter of the
Regiment" as the favorites.
"Our Boys" will finish their course at
the People's to-night. There will also
he a matinee at 2 p. m. Next week
"Beyond Recall," an intensely interest
ing drama, which had a great run in
England, will be produced with new
and magnificent scenery and wonder
ful mechanical effects. The cast is a j
particularly strong one. and the price
will no doubt prove a drawing card.
THREE UNHAPPY PAIRS
Who Ask the Law to Dissolve their
Marriage Relations.
Mary E. Pattison asks for a divorce j
from " Edward J. Pattison on the i
grounds of drunkenness and desertion, j
The parties named in this action are re

A. D. Boston for £500 damages. He j
says that- Post on showed him lots 29 and ;
30 "in block 1, Burnett's subdivision of j
Babbit's Out Lots, which were on grade j

meeting of the Engineers' club at the j
city hall last evening, when the revised j

a previous meeting to look up rooms for

mended that if possible rooms be secured J
in the new library building. The report
was received and adopted.

SHOUT SAYINGS.
Aid. Mills. After Being Appointed on
a Committee— On account of the inclem
ency of the weather, Mr. Chairman. I
must ask to be excused from acting on
this committee.
Charley Ames— did not get a turkey
at the shoot Wednesday. Something
must have been the matter with the
rifle, as 1 shot straight enough.
John Sehlener- reason that cer
tain persons were not indicted by the
grand jury of which 1 was foreman a
year ago was because evidence direct
could not be procured, We were cer
tain as we could be that they were
guilty, but it was a difficult thing to
prove it.
Ed A. Stevens— if sacred entertain
ments alone can go on Sunday. 1 look to
see a wrestling match announced for
that day as an illustration of the combat
between David and Goliath.
R. C. Kalkhoff— l wish we had the
English law. Here 1 had to defend a
suit the other day, and, though of course
1 won it. 1 had to pay out $11,000 for at
torney lees.
J. C. Worrell— Just at this time lam
not in position to say how far politics
might have entered into the Kelly and
Ward indictments.
Manager Sterling, of the People's
theater— A proposition has been made
to me by one of the other managers to
unite and fight this case, but 1 declined.
1 am perfectly willing to leave it to the
public and the jury to decide whether
we shall have Sunday theaters or not. 1
do not think it will affect our receipts
for the week materially either way.
J. C. Harris, the veteran newspaper
man, while in Minneapolis the other
day. announced his intention of remov
ing his paper. Harris' Graphic, from
Milbank: to Uevillo. There must be
something the matter with Milbank
when it permits a smaller rival to wrest
from it a paper of the character and
standing of the Graphic. Perhaps there
THE SAICT PAUL DAILY GLOBE: SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 26, - 1887.— TWELVE PAGES.
Is something in the stories of internal
strife and contention among the citizens
of Milbank, after all. At all events,
the town of Uevillo can be congratu
lated upon gaining one of the best news
paper men in the country, one who Im
parts a happy combination of enter
prise, good humor and moral tone to
any paper over whose destinies he may
preside.
NEWSPAPER CKACKS.
The earnest and consistent, besides
thoroughly alive ami aggressive Trib
une, will never turn its guns on the
committee on health and hospitals,since
it is to run the hospital. The Tribune's
guns are after the pattern of the hollow
log— the charge comes out the wrong
end.
The Journal has gone daft on the sub
ject of a bottle. It is said to have
adopted a bottle for its crest: a bottle
couchant and rubber tube pant—
short, a nursing bottle.
Ole Colburn, the conservator of Hie
interests of South Minneapolis, through
the News, has struck the fake idea, and
has allowed his pet scheme of bridging
the Minnesota to run to seed.
George K. Shaw has his war paint on,
and is waiting for George M. Osgoodby
to fire the first gun. --Tin full of light
clear down to my toes," he muttered
yesterday.
The clerks at the district court have
had a hard time of it lately. The even
ing papers have charged the numerous
Globe scoops to favoritism ami have
raked the clerks accordingly.
Reptiles seem to have inspected the
offices of the evening papers since their
Thanksgiving dinners. Jabbernoeks and
iubjub birds are favorites at the Star-
News, while the Journal ejaculates
-rats!*'
The Spectator people say the Globe
will not long be the only newspaper to
run a Minneapolis building, as they
propose to do something in that line
themselves.
A newspaper man now connected
with a trade journal said yesterday:
'•The Pioneer Press has borrowed every
idea it has from the Globe, from a
Dakota edition to its Thanksgiving
jokes. It will borrow their name if the
Globe people are not careful."
ALL sorts.
The Union league seems to be quite
thoroughly prosperous. It is going into
newquarters where not even penny antes
will be permitted, and where a strong
breath will be excluded at the door.
A merry, convivial party will leave
Minneapolis in ten days to go to Wash
ington and tell the national Republican
committee how important it is Minneap
olis should get the convention. The
party will enjoy itself in any event.
It is generally conceded that if the H.
A D. tracks are lowered the Eighth and
Thirteenth wards will, within two years,
add a million dollars to the taxable val
uation of the city.
With cisterns dry, wells shrinking
ami not a simile blind pig or saloon, the
Eighth ward is rapidly becoming dessi
eated.
Gambling is going on with wide open
fervor and yet Gen. Nettleton says,
"We have demonstrated the police com
mission is a success."
Another junketing committee went
I out last night. Messrs. Lennon, Cbowen
and Swift, of the board of county com
missioners, went to Chicago to buy a
dredge boat for Lake Minnetonka.
Just how red-headed a United Labor
man can become, is only ascertainable
by suggesting to him that Henry George
did not come to Minneapolis because he
was not offered enough.
A Minneapolis girl was bequeathed
$75,000 on condition she got Married.
Neither she nor her sweetheart waited
to take breath.
Aid. Gibson is a member of the coun
cil committee on health and hospitals
as well as a supervisor of the poor, so
he is not entirely left out in the cold.
If the Star-News has any get-up-and
get to it. it will soon pass the Journal's
'■sworn circulation." It should either
do that or force the Journal to claim a
circulation of 100,000 copies.
MENTION OP MEN.
Col. C. W. Johnson has succeeded in
convincing a Chicago paper Minneapolis
will get the Republican convention.
The colonel is a slick talker.
R. R. Odell is ■of the opinion the
Eighth ward could buy and sell North
Minneapolis, railroad crossings and all.
If Col. Frank Mead smells like a
mummy it is only because he has been
buried with the city archives.
George W. Marchant conceals a smile
every time he reads in the Globe of the
evil effects of mixing politics and wheat
weighing.
Freeman F. Lane is on a political still
hunt and reads the paper with much
care. But whether he wants to be
mayor or county attorney has not yet
I developed.
Fiery Fritz Gelierup's new tragedy is
! finished and will appear on a local stage
very soon.
A. R. Chestnut's Eighth Ward bank
is booming along so rapidly that it be
comes necessary to cut down the large
stock subscribers to give others a
chance.
Sam Hill is learning to play the
guitar in Spain. He will be a perfect
Pandora box of attractions when he re
: turns.
Doc Ames must feel that without the
i endorsement of the board of trade his
vice presidential boom is very shadowy
indeed.
SKETCHED FROM LIFE.
Uncle Selah Remembered.
Selah Mathews, the veteran ex-city
clerk, was last evening the recipient of
a testimonial of regard such as is the lot
of but few men to receive. He was re
quested by his friend, C. M. Foote, to at
j tend a meeting at the Nicollet house,
! and when he reached parlor A, found a
! decorous gathering, which included
; Mayor Ames, Ben Cole, N. G. Latten,
Jonas Brown, T. F. Andrews, Aid. Bar
rows, Aid. Stoft. Aid. Cloutier, Col. C.
li. Hill, Emil Ferant, Aid. (lough, ex-

11. B. Sherman, Aid. C. Johnson, ex-
Ald. Pratt, ex-Aid. John Anderson. A.
J. Blethen, Lorenzo Day, ex-Aid. Hau
gan and J. F. Peterson.
Mayor Ames tirst suggested that Aid.
Barrows should be by general consent
considered elected chairman of the
meeting, and then went on to stale the
business for which it had been called in
such an ambiguous way that . its pur
pose was not clearly defined until he
held out an elegant gold-headed cane,
! and. asking Mr. Mathews to step for
ward, presented it to him with an
address that was full of feeling. He
assured Mr. Mathews that, although he
] is no longer city clerk, he has not been
forgotten by his friends, and then pro
ceeded to compliment him in the high-
I est terms for the faithful and intelligent
; manner in which he had discharged the
; duties of his important office
i throughout his long term of service.
! Aid. Clou-rli. ex-Aid. Barrows, Sly,
j Pratt, Aid. Cloutier, C. M. Foote, A. j.
i Blethen and others followed with re
'■ marks of an eulogistic nature, and all
■ this time "Uncle Selah.*' as be is famil-
I iarly called, sal quietly in the corner,
and when lie was called upon to re
spond, could only say that he was
"thankful, very thankful for this ex
pression of friendship ami good will."
The cane, which Mr. Mathews me
chanically held In his hand, while lie
; beard with mingled emotions his praises
: sounded by his friends, is inscribed:
"Selah Mathews, clerk of the city of
Minneapolis, IbTS-lst-T. From his
friends." Nor was this the only testi
monial, for two elegantly upholstered
: easy chairs were sent to his residence,
as he probably discovered when he re
turned home. Besides, he was given a
box, "just to carry home," which con
tained a collection of gold coins, aggre
gating several hundred dollars.
One Honest Man.
"Are you the same cashier that was
here last year?"' asked a man who
looked like a mechanic of Cashier Sidell,
at the First National bank the other
day. The answer being In the affirma
tive, the man quietly laid down two five
dollar gold pieces.saying: " You overpaid
me $10 last year. I have always wanted
to return it, but have never been able
to spare the money. Do you want the
interest on it'" The cashier, who had
! never discovered his mistake, gasped
i out, "No*' at this unusual display of
■ honesty, and the stranger left the bank
without any further explanation.

GIRLS NOT NOW THE FASHION.
Married Belles Attract More At
tention in Society.
Society is not all joy to a debutante
nowadays. The married belles carrj*
off the honors. That is why so many
of the young girls of Philadelphia and i
New York go abroad and stay till they
are old enough to win some
attention here, says the Philadel
phia Press. There isn't one of them who
staiyls the ghost of a chance against the
perfectly dressed, well poised brides of
j two or three winters. An eighteen
■ year-old is nowhere when they are
: about. There might as well be no balls
: or assemblies, for that matter, so far as
j the younger fry are concerned, and as
! for "the private entertainments, it's
j much the same thing. The "buds"
| take what partners are left
when the young married women have
had their "choice. Girls are not the
i fashion any more. The married belles
j dance just" as well, dress more richly
and talk better: it doesn't compromise
I the well-dressed young man from the
! bachelor apartment which he is in no
haste to desert for benedict's quarters to
dance attendance upon them, and, take
it all in all. now is the married indie's
reign. The popular unmarried women,
who can hold their own in the ball
rooms, arc of more than one season's
standing. The debutantes are eagerly
heralded, the society world is anxious to
see them, families clamor for the privil
ege of chaperoning them, but after all
they are likely to enjoy their second
and third seasons better, and to get
more desirable partners than in their
first. :> ' : l-.

THEY GOT THERE,
The Council Committee Will Manage
the Hospital.
CITY PHYSICIAN IN CHARGE.
A Spirited Fight in Council— Aid. Mills
Leads His Cohorts to
Victory.
There was an animated meeting of
the city council yesterday afternoon,
when the question as to which— the
council committee on health or hospi
tals or the supervision of the poor
should have charge of the new city hos
pital. The council was called to order
at 2:15 o'clock with all but four alder
men present. The clerk then read the
call for the special meeting. A confer
ence committee of three from the su
pervisors of the poor was present, and
on motion a committee of three from
the council, consisting of Aid. Mills, E.
M. Johnson and Stoft, was appointed
by the chair to meet the conference
committee and make a report. A recess
was then taken until the committee
should return. After being out half an
hour the committee returned with a re
port. It was signed by Aid. Mills,
Johnson, Stot't nnd Garvey and
recommended that the hospital be
placed in the hands of the city
physician, subject to the instruction of
the supervisors of the poor and the
council committee on health and the
hospitals. Aid. Mills then moved that
the hospital be placed under the charge
of the city physician. Aid. Gibbons op
posed this motion, saying that he did not
think it right to place such an institu
tion under the management of one man.
lie thought it better that the supervi
sors of the poor should have charge of it.
The city physician, he said, was not
elected to run the hospital, and he did
not think it proper that the city physi
cian should have charge of it.
Aid. Mills stated that the supervisors
of the poor had proved themselves arbi
trary, and he did not much like the idea
of placing the hospital in their hands.
Aid. L'Herault remarked that he did
not believe the council could change the
duties of the city physician, and reading
from the ordinances he showed that he
had been elected to act under the order
of the superintendent of the board of
supervisors of the poor. The alderman
did not think the committee on health
and hospital competent to have charge
of the hospital.
Aid. Clough -1 do not think any one
will suffer if this matter is left to the
committee on health and hospitals.
The supervisors of the poor arc mainly
aldermen and there is no reason why
our council committee can not take
good care of the hospital. A committee
of three can run it better than a com
mittee of thirteen.
Aid. E. M. Johnson— lt rather startles
me to find out that the council has no
authority over the city physician, and
that he is alone responsible tothe super
intendent of the supervisors of the
poor. Our charter gives us the right to
establish hospitals and to direct who
shall care for the patients, and it seems
to me that we can direct our city
physician to do the work there. Some
of the supervisors of the poor seem to
have an idea that that body is superior
to . the city council, when the
council has the power to abolish
that body. The whole trouble
is that some of the members are trying
to get up a fight among their own num
ber. It astonishes me. and I don't know
what to make of it. It seems to me that
this council should keep the control of
this work, and that the committee on
health and hospital should have charge
of the hospital.
Aid. Cloutier— -The statement made
by Aid. Johnson that some of the super
visors of the poor are at loggerheads
is hot a fact, lam happy to state. That
body has always had charge of the poor
and sick of the city, and if the ex
penses of the hospital are to be paid out
of the general city fund, and not charged
to our committee when another com
mittee expends the money, we are satis
fied to let the committee on health and
hospitals run things.
Aid. L'Herault— The supervisors of
the poor have always reported to the
council promptly, 1 am glad to say, and
has no disrespect for the council, as
Mr. Johnson has stated.
A motion that the city hospital he
placed under the charge of the super
visors of the poor was on the point f
being put when Aid. Mills took the floor
and said he should oppose the motion
on the ground that it would place the
matter in the hands of an outside
council.- Aid. Gibson said he would
urge the adoption of the motion because
if the hospital was placed under the
charge of the supervisors of the poor
and city physician it would be prac
tically placing it under the charge of
one man. The motion was lost, and a
motion to lay the whole matter on the
table was substituted by a motion to
adjourn, which was also lost. The
original resolution by Aid. Mills that
the city hospital be placed in the imme
diate charge of the city physician to act
under the committee on health and hos
pital, to actio pursuance with the direc
tors of the city council, was then put
and carried by a vote of 28 to 4. Aid.
E. M. Johnson at once moved to recon
sider, as did also Aid. Gibson, but the
motion was lost. Aid. Cooley made a
motion declaring the Northwestern hos
pital an annex to the city hospital for
female patients and children. Aid. E.
M. Johnson said he was in hearty sym
pathy with the motion, but in view of
the action just taken wanted the matter
reported upon. He therefore moved to
refer the matter to the committee on
health and hospitals. His motion was
carried and the council adjourned.

The Heart of Napoleon.
Pall Mall Gazette.
"I noticed," writes Mr. J. 11. Duncan,
from Kedinuir, Hants, "a paragraph as
o Napoleon's heart quoted in your paper
two days ago, which I believe is incor
rect. Mv grandfather (Dr. Duncan, of
Ruthwell) knew intimately one of the
doctors in attendance on Napoleon— a
Dr. Arnot— who was one of those en
gaged in the embalmling of the body. It
is quite true that the heart disappeared,
and great was the dismay of the doctors
to liiid the basin in which they had left
it quite empty, and never a trace of the
heart. At last a trace of blood on the
floor led them to a rat's hole, where was
the object of their search, too big to get
through. The addition about a lamb's
heart being substituted is evidently an
embellishment of the enemy."
