CLOW GAINS SLOWLY

local Sports of All Kinds on
the Boom in the Saint
ly City.
Charley Clow is galloping on toward
the goal with even strides with Thayer,
Esteo and the rest of the speedy candi
dates for the elegant Foley emblem
in the amateur balk-line billiard
tournament. It is really no sur
prise to Clow's friends that
he wins, but it is a surprise that he
doesn't bring the average down some
what. Clow scored 100 last evening in
the balk line contest to Frank Wilder's
Of. It should be explained in this con
nection that Wilder was off play. Ten
was his highest run. Wilder is a
pretty exponent of the grand pastime
made famous by Tom Foley and
Jacob Schaefer. lie played pretty bill
iards, but he did not strike "a winning
gait." Clow made runs of 1:2 and 17 as
against Wilder's 18 run, but Clow was
so frequently knocking out 0 to 8 that
he won, although in nothing like a
speedy game, lt required thirty-six
innings. There will be no game today,
and the next will occur Monday.
ONLY TWO HOUNDS.
A Scientific Sparring Match De
velops Too Much Slugging to
Suit Police.
Jack Fly nn and Ed Shepard gave a
rather poor exhibition of the Delsarte
art at the Olympic last evening. Shep
ard is the Minneapolis mascot who de
feated Lemons, of Denver, recently,
before the Phoenix club, and lie is
rated as a good man. He went
against one of the most vicious
sparrers in the country, and he knows
now what real hard hitting means, But
it was not a scientific boxing mutch, and
Capt. Phil Schweitzer did perfectly
right in interposing. lie saw that it
was more of a rough and tumble than a
scientific contest and he ended pro
ceedings in two rounds. The
audience indorsed his course.
The two are likely to sign articles for
another contest, but they must bear in
mind that they must spar when they
come together in St. Paul. Dick Moore
acted as referee and gave general satis
faction.

Dick Moore lias signed articles of

the meeting and Moore Will go to work
for the event today, lt promises to
prove the great feature of the club's
magnificent entertainments this season.
Dick Moore is a St. Paul lad, only
twenty-two years of age, and everybody
at all familiar with local athletes is ac
quainted with his meat prowess. It will
be a go that will give the utmost
satisfaction to the club members. The
management lias once more decided to
allow each member to introduce three
friends, so there is little probability
that the devotees of the manly art wiil
be shut out this time. A large list of
new members were admitted during the
week, and the applications aie coming
in so last that the directorate is think
ing of increasing the fee to $25 instead
of $15. No change will be made during
the present mouth, however.

however, and no conclusion was arrived
at. Capt. Geissel and Capt Bayer will
meet in a day or two, however, and the

the next game will be between the Sum

evening. Doth teams are putting in
good and hard practice work., and they

Conditions on Which Donoghue
Will Skate Hagen.
Ni:w Youk, Feb. 3.— Another step
lias been taken towards making a match
between Harold Hagen and Joseph F.

of the world. Two weeks ago Donoghue
posted $500 as a forfeit, and had waited
for Hasten to respond. Donognue's

Wilmot Was the Victor.
A most exciting billiard game of 300
points up was played at balk line style
yesterday afternoon between the lead
ers in the Foley billiard tournament.
The game was between Frank Thayer
and Walter Wilmot, in other words,
and quite a goodly sum of money
hinged on the result. They started out
neck and neck, but soon Wilmot gained
a lead and he maintained it to the end,
defeating Thayer by 22 buttons. There
was a large crowd" of spectators, and
nearly everybody was ready to wager
something on the side. In fact, neither
principal lacked for backers.

said, will return to St. Paul the coming

FOR A NEW CAPITOL.
Continued From Fir.**! Pas«.
of construction then to be.undertaken.
This can be done, and still permit a
large reduction of the present rate of
taxation, so that no increase in the tax
levy for state purposes may be antici
pated in consequence of favorable ac
tion on. this recommendation. We be
lieve that this amount appropriated an
nually during a period of ten years will
enable the commissioners to construct a
capitol building commensurate with the
dignity and wealth of the great and
growing state, and equal to all require
ments of the public "service formally
generations.
We cannot believe that appropriations
extending thus through many years,
and at such moderate amounts, will be
complained of by our generous people,
or press upon "them with perceptible
weight. The valuation of the
Property of the State
now subject to taxation is. in round
numbers, 5000,000.000, more than half of
which is derived from three most popu
lous counties of the state, an increase
within the past ten years of $324,000,000,
The average value of tiie farms in the
state, including improvements, is less
than $7 per acre. The sum recommend
ed to be annually set apart for building
purposes would, at this valuation,
amount to about 10 cents on every
eighty-acre farm in the state, an amount
so insignificant that we are constrained
to believe that every citizen of Minne
sota would ratify your favorable action.
lowa's State House
In the visit made by your committee
to the capital of the state of lowa, we
were impressed by the noble edifice the
patriotic people of that enterprising
slate had erected to mark their appre
caitionof what was befitting the dignity
and importance of the official home of
their commonwealth. The building was
undertaken in IS7O, when the total as
sessed valuation was less than three
hundred millions of dollars, made up
almost wholly of the rural property of
the sta'e, there being no city of a larger
population than 25,000 people to share
the cost of the outlay. The work was
completed in about twelve years, when
the entire assessed valuation of the
state of lowa amounted only to about
four hundred and twenty-six millions
of dollars, or nearly two hun
dred millions less than that of
Minnesota at the present time.. The
cost of the building was $2,8U0,000-a
sum very much beyond the amount we
believe it will be necessary for Minne
sota to spend. Wo believe, under the
restraints embodied in the bill submit
ted with this report, that a capitol wor
thy of our commonwealth, and one of
which every citizen will be proud, can
be built for a sum less than the limit
fixed in the bill. We therefore com
mend this report most heartily to your
favorable action, and urge the passage
of the bill herewith submitted.

THE MINORITY REPORT.
Senator McMillan States His
Grouncls for Differing With the
Majority.
The minority report signed by Sena
tor McMillan is not so lengthy, and
clearly states the difference between
the members of the committee. It fol
lows:
A special committee, consistin a of Sen
ators McMillan, Dean, La Due, Keller
and Ayers. was appointed by Lieut.
Gov. Ives ou the 10th day of April, 1891,
pursuant to a resolution adopted by the
senate on April 3, 1891, and which reso
lution was as follows: •*;■?".
Under This They Acted.
"Resolved, That a committee of live be
appointed by the president ot the senate, to
serve witliout compensation, to investigate
and report its findings to the next session of
the legislature as to what, in their judgment,
is the most desirable capityl site, and if the
present location is not -of sufficient size for
said capitol buildintr, and also to report it the
b^st interests of tbe slate could be better
served by the removal to a new location,
where larger and better accommodations
could be obtained, and a capitol buildiug
be erected commensurate to the dignity of a
great and prosperous state. To the end that
the state at large may be informed as to the
merits of the different proposed sites, and
the next legislature may. if thought advis
able, adopt a site and create a commission,
and instruct them in an intelligent manner
as to the wants of the state and the amount
that will be required to erect a suitable capi
tol building. Also, to obtain information as
to s'ze, style, material used and cost of capi
tol buildings of other stales, if thought ad
visable, together with a statement of their
estimated cost and the sum total of the com
pleted building, and all other infor
mation that may come to them in
the investigation of this subject, with
the view that this stale may avoid the errors
and the mistakes of other state commissions,
who are known to have, in a great many
cases, exceeded their authority, and spent
large sums of money in excess of the amount
originally set apart for that purpose ;aud
that a commission, when appointed, shall
enter knowingly into a contract fora build
ing, complete in every respect, to be built iv
a reasonable length of time, and for a defi
nite sum of money, and also held to a strict
accountability and "a distinct understanding
that, for the sum mimed and set apart to be
expended for a capitol building, the state ex
pects a completed building, ready for occu
pancy, aud all within the limits of the
amouut appropriated for that purpose."
Power Was Limited. r
Many interesting and important meet
ings have been held by this committee,
and it is with a feeling ■of regret that
your minority committee finds itself un
able to agree with the majority upon a
report to be presented to this body. The
principal point of difference is upon a
question which is of great interest anti
importance to the citizens of this state
as well as of interest to those within
whose borders said capitol site is to be
located, and is also a question which
this committee as a whole entirely ig
nored and refused to investigate, as
contemplated by the provisions of the
above resolution. At the beginning of
this investigation, in fact at its first
session, your minority committee found
itself powerless to act by the adoption
of a resolution limiting the investiga
tion as to a capitol site to the site now
occupied by the present building, or
to a point within half a mile
of the' same. This resolution
was afterwards reconsidered, and the
limit placed at three-fourths of a mile
distant. Your committee believes that
such action on the part of the majority
was not in accordance with the spirit
and interpretation of the above resolu
tion, which specifically stated that the
commission was to present a report
based upon an investigation of the dif
ferent proposed sites, with the end in
view that the state at large might be in
formed as to the merits of each. Such
an investigation your committee be
lieves would have thrown much light
upon this important Question, and
would have given to the citizens of this
state a large amount of" valuable infor
mation relative to the site, cost and
location of sites in other parts of the
capital city. Your committee believes
that in no sense would the advantages
in favor of the present site, or sites ad
jacent thereto, have suffered by a com
parison with those situated beyond the
imaginary lines drawn by the majority
ot the committee, ln view of these
facts your committee would dissent
from the report of the majority, and
would therefore recommend that
No Restriction Be Placet!
in the bill limiting the commission in
this respect. And it would further rec
ommend in order that all interested
may be heard upon this question, and
that a capitol site may be selected that
willbe of easy access, commanding in
view and that grounds that in point of
size will be suitable to the future wants
of this great state, and that a site may
be obtained that will reflect credit upon
the good judgment of the citizens as
well as the members of the commission,
that said capitol commission when ap
pointed shall be authorized to further
investigate as to capitol sites, their lo
cation, size, cost, etc., with power only,
'to report with recommendations to'the
next session ofthe legislature, and. to
receive from that body the authority to
designate a site for said capitol build
ing. y ; '.'
Your committee would also report that
it has spent much time in seeking in
formation as to the size and iocatioii of
grounds occupied by capitol buildings
in other states, and it has been unable
to find a single state in which the idea
has been that the state capitol was other
than the home of the state, or where it
was simply a business building, espe
cially located for the convenience of a
few who were fortunate enough to live
under the shadow cast by its great dome;
or did it find a state where there was the
remotest possibility that in a few years,
at most, the adjoining property would

Pitcher's Castoria.
Children Cry for

be occupied for business purposes.
Noble architecture and large and
Commodious Uronnds Have Been
it the Rule K^f-^oi
followed in other states.
Your committee woula also recom
meiifi that said capitol commission
should be restricted by law from adopt
ing any plans or letting any contracts,
fora whole or a part of said building,
till it has been* definitely ascertained
that the cost of : supervision, labor, ma
terial and ail other "expenditures neces
sary for the erection and j completion of
'said building, including heating ap
paratus and '■ ventilating, furnishings
and all other fixtures of the same, will
in no event exceed the sum of ,-£2,000,000
for a completed building.
b It would therefore be necessary, in
order to make an accurate itemized esti
mate of the cost of such a buildiug
which can be relied upon with any de
cree of accuracy, to have general plans,
elevations and sections, together with
•minute specifications and full detail
drawings of all parts that go to make a
complete building, from which may
obtained the amount and quality of all
material. No accurate estimate can be
made without them, and even then au
estimate may fail of verification on ac
count of the change in value of labor or
material, or from errors of judgment,
but in no event, with such restrictions
as outlined, if the spirit and latter of
the law were followed, should
A Buildiug Exceed 10 Per Cent
of the original estimate.
Your committee would also recom
mend that the comoetition for the plans
for said capitol building be limited to
the architects of this state, and that in
the event said capitol building shall
cost more than the sum of $2,000,000,
said architects shall not be entitled to
any commissions on the sum such build
ing costs in excess of that amount.
Tour committee would further recom
mend that in the event a site is selected
other than the site now occupied for
capitol purposes, that the present capi
tol building shall not be abandoned, but
i shall remain under control of the state
for its present use till such time as the
capitol commission shall turn over to
the state a completed building ready for
occupancy. An abandonment of the
present building and the scattering of
our state officials over different parts of
the city, and the necessity of properly
providing for the accommodations of
the state legislatures for a period of ten
years, would, in the opinion of. your
committee, be detrimental to the best
interests of the state.
In the report offered by the majority
of the committee your minority com
mittee would agree, except as to recom
mendation made above. Respectfully
submitted, F. G. McMillan.

A SEA CAPTAIN'S STORY.
Had Many Wonderful Advent-
ures on the Sea.
But His Most Remarkable Expsrience
Was on tlie Land,
Wbat the Famous Captain Has to Say
About tbe Matter. ~
The experiences of sea captains are
always interesting. .
Capt. Alexander Horn is at present
sojourning at West Lubec, Me., but his
permanent address is the Marine Asy
lum, Philadelphia, Pa.
Capt. Horn has had many remarkable
adventures during his active aud event
ful career, but his most wonderful ex
perience was met with on shore. He
says:
"I was stricken with paralysis of the
left side in ISGS, and have since that
time been under the treatment of man y
physicians, and tried various remedies .
"1 could not in all the years that havet
passed, since stricken, lift my left foo
from the floor.
"1 commenced taking Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and I
am now able to walk without a cane,
having good use of my foot and side, so
long useless. Dr. Greene's Nervura
bloo.l and nerve remedy has cured
of my terrible trouble."
This cure was considered so remarka
ble that it was brought before the at
tention of the medical societies, hospi
tals and physicians, and the facts legally
subscribed and certified to by the well
known J. O. Phillips, Esq., Notary Pub
lic of Philadelphia. . , ;
CA.PT. hoisx. •
5 <----■'
CAPT. HORX. •
! It is for this reason that Dr. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy is now
used so extensively in hospitals and so
widely recommended by physicians for
the cure of disease.
But do not wait until you are actually
paralyzed before using this great rem
edy. Paralysis is always the result of
neglecting the first symptoms. Use
thit medicine when the first symptoms
appear, and you can always ward off
paralysis, nervous debility and nervous
and physical prostration.
Take it if you have a weak and tired
feeliner. with weariness of the limbs,
numbness, trembling, palpitation of the
heart, prickling sensation in fingers or
toes, headaches, dull feeling head, con
fused mind, loss of memory. Above all
you need it if you are sleepless, and
wake tired and uurefreshed mornings,
have little or no appetite for breakfast,
and feel dull and out of spirits. It will
overcome indigestion and dyspepsia,
regulate the bowels and cure liver and
kidney complaints, It is the best blood
enricher and invigorator in the world.
It is purely vegetable and perfectly
harmless, and should you be a sufferer
from disease you will use it if you are
wise. All druggists have it for $1. It
is the prescription and discovery of the
successful specialist in the cure of
nervous . and chronic diseases. Dr.
Greene, of 35 West Fourteenth street.
New York, who can be consulted tree,
personally or by letter.
DID GREAT DAMAGE.
The Earthquakes on the Island of
Zanto the Worst in Modern
Times.
Bread Ovens in the City De
stroyed by the Last
Shocks.
Athens, Feb. 3.— lt is an undisputed
fact that the earthquakes that have oc
curred during the past two or three
days at Zante have been the worst that
have done damage on that island in
modern times, and no one can tell
wheu the disturbances will cease.
The shocks experienced last night
did enormous damage; in fact, the
whole island was devastated. To add
to the -terror of the inhabitants a most
terrific thunder storm prevailed at the
time of tlm shocks. The rain fell in
torrents and was accompanied by large
hailstones. The blinding flashes of
lightning, the roaring thunder and the
rumbling beneath the surface of the
swaying earth caused many persons to
beiieve that the end of all things had
come. The people were panic-stricken,
and so great was the fear inspired that
many persons entirely lost their reason
and are now hopelessly crazy. A most
unfortunate feature of the situation is
the fact that last night's shocks de
stroyed the bread ovens in the city of
Zante. rendering it impossible for the
greater portion of the inhabitants to
procure that most necessary article of
food. The minister of the "interior has
arrived at Zante, and will do everything
in his power to relieve the distress.'
King George will start for Zante on Sun
day. A British war ship and three ves
sels belonging to the Greek navy ar
rived at the island today with supplies
of tents, provisions and medicines.
FREE SILVER COINAGE.
Indian Merchants Petition for Its
Supension.
Calcutta, Feb. 3.--A deputation of
native and European merchants today
waited upon the viceroy of India and
submitted to him resolutions-demand
ing that, in view of the failure of the
Brussels monetary conference to arrive
at any conclusion in the bimetallic
Issue, the government of India should
immediately close the mints to free
coinage. Lord Lausdowne said that the
India Currency association had
strengthened the ease by leaving the
proposals to change the standard for
future consideration. The opponents
of the change must now show that
while a change of the currency standard
of value from silver to gold would bene
fit . other nations, it would damage
India. The whole question must, how
ever, await the issue of the Herschell
currency commission, appointed in
England to consider the question.
All Troops May Ba Wanted.
Loxdox, Feb. 3.— A dispatch was re
ceived at the foreign office today from
Lord Cromer, the British minister to
Egypt, stating that the condition of
affairs in Egypt may compel the landing
of all the British troops that have been
ordered to that country.
