At 7:7;. p. m. the companions of the
crder and their guests marched
through the spacious halls of tho West
hotel to the banquet room and took
seats while the band played "The Star
Spangled Banner." Rev. H. P. Nich
olas, D. D., delivered the invocation.
The next hour and a half was spent
around the banquet board in social con
ventionalities, followed by the "Feast
of Reason and Flow of Soul," at 9
o'clock.
Senior Vice Commander TV. B. Leach
delivered the address of welcome. He
epoke with cordiality of the Loyal Le
gion and its part in the war, "and of
all the wearers of the blue. He spoke
with fervor of Lincoln and his conduct
of the Cavil war, and of the enamcipa
tlon proclamation. He closed with:
"We will meet and greet with closing ranks
In time's declining sun.
•Till the bugles of God shall sound 'Recall,'
And the battle of life is done."
Briefly the speaker introduced Robert
G. Evans, who spoke for fifteen min
utes upon the life of Lincoln.
He shared, he said, the feeling com
mon with all, that feeling In the heart
of every .true American — patriotism.
Lincoln presented one of the highest
examples of American citizenship since
the time of George Washington. Al
though elevated to the highest position
within the gift of a soverign people, he
never lest sight of the depths from
■which he rose.
Rev. L. H. Hallock, D. D., was the
next speaker introduced by Toastmas
ter Leach. Dr. Hallock said he esteem
ed it a privilege and an honor to have
the attention on so felicitious an oc
casion of those who were willing to
follow the martyred leader and mingle
their blood in the defense of the glori
ous Union. Dr. Hallock spoke warm
ly of President McKinley, and asserted
that ho was a worthy successor of
Wash:: Kton and Lincoln.
Col. Gilbert A. Pierce followed with
an address happy in incidents of the
president's life and of his great ability
and earnestness while serving the peo
ple in his oificial capacity.
An innovation was Introduced, and
with great success. The lights were
turned out and the large assembly was
left in the dark. From the west end
of the building, accompanied by low
martial music, a colored light of sub
dued hue threw into view the Illumi
nated bust of President Lincoln. The
band played lowly, followed by the
quartette, and the recitation from the
background of a portion of one of
President Lincoln's most famous
speech, s.
The quartette again sang "Tenting on
the Old Camp Ground," and "Vacant
Chair." Taps were sounded and the
commandery arose and partook of the

"BIG MITT" MEN.
The Police Believe They Have Five
<>i' 'I hem In Custody.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 14.— There are
ln custody at the central station five
men who the police believe belong to
the "big mitt" fraternity. A "big mitt"
man is one who is a card sharper, and
whose vocation is to allure innocents
Into games where the swindler always
has the best of it.
The five prisoners have been in town
for a week or two, and are said to
have come to Mineapolis from Moor
head and Fargo, which cities are
known us headquarters for crooks of
all descriptions. Inspectors Howard
and Lawrence gathered in the men on
Washington avenue this afternoon.
Their hang-out has been In the neigh
borhood ot the Milwaukee depot, where
it is convenient to lure the proverbial
greenhorn Into a game where he soon
separates from his money. The police
say that the prisoners have already
swindled a few strangers, but their op
erations have not been extensive. It is
believed that their scheme was te catch
the woodsmen as they came into the
city within the next month or two.
Henry Wise. Martin Nelson, Edward
Smith., Joseph Hanson, Edward Boe
are the names given by the prisoners.
They were charged with vagrancy.
As "the officers were about to arrest
them, one of the crowd started off.
Inspector Howard followed him on a
street car, and with the other four he
was safely locked up .
THOI GUT IT A HOTEL
Insane Mini's Queer Mix-Vp ut the
Central Station.
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 14.— The cen
tral police station has been mistaken
many a time by befuddled individuals,
but the climax was reached this morn
ing. A man apparently intoxicated en
tered the station and called for Charley
Anderson. He could not give an intel
ligible answer except to say that he
was in Rochester and in Anderson's
hotel. Jailer Needham tried to get
some sense out of the fellow's inco
herent mumble, but it was impossible.
Finally it was decided to prove to him
that he was not in Anderson's hotel by
locking him up, as he showed himself
irresponsible. The stranger did not
mind it a bit, but took off his shoe in
a vain endeavor to And a match to light
a cigarette. He continued to act queer-
Iy for a time, but after a sleep appear
ed to be in his right mind.
He had in the meantime been charg
ed with drunkenness, being booked as
Edward Bailey. In the police court he
entered a plea of not guilty, and his
case was continued to this morning.
During the day the officers learned
that Bailey has been confined in the
Rochester insane asylum and that An
derson was in charge of one of the
branches. Bailey imagined himself
back at the hospital when he entered
the station. He had been drinking, so
he said, and his old malady had re
turned temporarily.
HE TAKES OYEIUOATS.
William Bash's Penchant for Other
People's Clothes.
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 14.— The
troubles of William Bush have doubled
within the past forty-eight hours. He
was charged with petit larceny Mon
day; today he was also booked for
grand larceny. According to the po
lice, Bush had a penchant for taking
overcoats which belonged to the other
fellow. He was first arrested for steal
ing a coat from a new building on Hen
nepin avenue, and today Inspectors
Morrisey and Stavlo found Bush's land
lord, who claimed that the prisoner had
also made away with his top coat. Ac
cordingly, Bush was again charged,
and this time It was grand larceny.
The building from which the first coat
was taken, Hennepin avenue near
Fifth street, was broken into Saturday
night, and carpenter tools and paint
were stolen. The detectives wonder if
Bush, who had been working in the
place, knows anything of the burglary.

Seattle Feb. 9, brought news of more
trouble in connection with George A.

hand to hand fights, and one of Brack
ett's men had his head laid open with .
an ax.
A large number of arrests have been
made. George A. Brackett, owner of

Gone to the Hospital."
RED WING, Minn., Feb. 14.—(Spe
cial.)—About one dozen men were
wounded, some perhaps seriously, at
Diamond Bluff, Wis., last night. A
dance was given at Coulter's hall in
Diamond Bluff. It seems that there
are two factions in that neighborhood,
and each bears undying hatred towards
the other. Last night both factions
were at the dance. An altercation soon
started. Matters became warm and
listic encounters were next in order.
While these were in progress one
man attempted to pull a revolver. He
had scarcely raised his weapon when
a cordwood stick knocked him prostrate
on the floor. This was a signal for a
general onslaught. Jackknives were
used, revolvers flourished and clubs
brandished. To restore order was Im
possible. Frightened women jumped
frcm the second story of the. building,
a distance of twenty-live feet/ some re
ceiving injuries.
When the riot ended a most horrible
scene was presented. Lying uncon
scious in pools of blood were nearly a
dozen men. One man had one arm lit
terally carved to pieces, another had
several ugly cuts in his scalp, another
had his face struck with clubs until it
looked like a mass of jelly. Others
escaped with broken limbs and minor
cuts and bruises. Eight men are now
confined to their beds, but the serious
ness of their wounds has not yet been
ascertained, although it is thought that
none will die.
ST. CLOID.
Farmer! to Build Elevator*, at Al
bany, Freeport, Sauk Center and
West I iilon.
ST. CLOUD, Minn., Feb. 14.— (Special.)— At
a well attended meeting at the town ot Al
bany, this county, the Steams County National
Farmers' Alliance and Industrial union was
organized, with John Batb a3 president and
William Schindler as secretary. The presi
dent is a brother of Senator Val Batz, o£ this
county. Arrangements will be made at once
for the organization af an alliance and indus
trial union In each township in the county
and to undertake the building of farmers'
.levators at Albany, Freeport. Sauk Center
and West Union. Committees' were appoint
ed to raise funds for tills purpose. The
meeting was addressed by J. C. Hanley, of
St. Paul, s.ate secretary of the Farmers' Al
liance and Industrial union. Among other
things he told of the good to be derived from
tho farmers owning an elevator of their
own. He cited the elevator at Faribault,
where, he claimed, the price of wheat was
raised 4 cents after the farmers had their ele
vator in business. During the last four
months 800,000 bushels of wheat had been
marketed at that point and the speaker en
larged on the benefit', to be derived by both
farmer and merchant on account of the In
creased business done by the elevators. He
estimated that $32,000 had been saved to
the farmers of that section.
An interesting case is on trial before Judge
Searle, of the district court. It is entitle!
Emily Mitchell vs. Christian Thoen. Back
in 1.75. by foreclosure, Mrs. Mitchell became
the owner of a farm located in Xorth Branch.
She continued to pay taxes on the farm until
a year ago, although she had never inspect
ed it. At that time she sold It, and when
the purchaser went to take possession he
found that Christian Thoen was In posses
sion, and had been for 22 years. Mrs. Mit
chell's land was 40 acres ' and Mr. Thoen
has another farm of 160 acres adjoining He
had improved the 40 acres which Mrs. Mltch.ll
sold, and he now claims it by adverse posses
sion.

The stockholders of the Minneapolis
& St. Louis road yesterday met in
Minneapolis and voted to adoDt the
resolutions passed by the directors re
cently to extend the road to Omaha.
The company will issue $25,000,00© of
bonds to purchase the Minneapolis,
New Ulm & Southwestern railway, the
Wisconsin, Minnesota & Pacific from
Morton, Minn., to Watertown, S. Tt.,
and build the extension from New Ulm
to -Omaha. The company will also re
fund the debt of $10,000,000, and retire
first preferred stock of the par value
of $2,500,000. This will make the capi
tal stock of the company $10,000,000, and
the second preferred stock will be
come first preferred.
The construction of the extension to
Omaha will commence in the spring
when the ground will be in condition
for working.. The road will be pushed
to completion by fall, in time for the
transportation of grain from the lowa
and Nebraska farms to Minneapolis
ard Duluth.
The Northwestern road does not like
the plan of the Minneapolis & St. Louis,
as it will not only cut across that road
several times between Minneapolis and
Omaha, but It will tend to deprive the
Northwestern of much business that
now goes to Chicago. The lowa and
Nebraska farmers will be benefitted by
the new road, as it will enable them
to get their grain to market quicker
and more cheaply than at present, and
it will benefit the Twin Cities, as it
will bring more grain to them and more
merchandise, and will open up a direct
market in new territory for the jobbers
of both cities.
It is understood that the beginning
of the new line will be the signal for
considerable litigation by other * and

ENEMY OP RAILROADS.
After Using Nearly AH the Trans
portation That One Line Had.
Railway officials in this state are some
what amused by the attacks made upon rail
ways in tlie legislature-liy men who Insist
that the roads do not pay sufficient taxes
and charge too much for passenger service.
As a rule these attacks have come from leg
islators who are under personal obligation to
the roads and who should In all decency re
frain from attacking companies to which they
are under deep obligations.
"One of tho leadors in the crusade against
the roads," said a railway man to a reporter
for The Globe yesterday, •: "Is one of the
most pertsistent grafters we have to' deal
with. I will give an Instance of his hoggish
ness. Last summer he Informed several rail
way officials that he wanted to go to the leg
islature. They Sneouraged him to make the
run.
"It was necessary for him to travel about
his district, and he asked for passes. He
got them. Then when time came for the
convention he calmly asked the road to fur
nish him ninety passes for his delegates.
It was a steep proposition, but the road gave
the passes. He was nominated. As sopn as
he came to St. Paul he wanted passes for
himse-l?, his wife and several members of his
family. He got them. Then he wanted
passers for personal friends in his town and
district who wanted to come to this city to
see him sitting in state at the capitol. He
got them. He has since obtained other
passes for other old friends" in his town who
wanted to visit him here, and the road was
about ready to ask him to please pay a fare
or two when he serenely bobbed up as a
fighter of the railroads, and has since cham
pioned every measure intended to injuj* the
roads. Now, the passes were not given to
him as a bribe, but It doES seem as though
In all fairness he should do one of two
things— either accept no favors from the
roads aud flght them squarely and hard as
he can, or recognize what the roads have
done for him and say nothing. We should
all respect him more."
The roads are going to use every argument
at their command against the proposed leg
islation which is aimed against them. The
circular which was recently Issued by the
Milwaukee, regarding passenger rates' has
been circulated among the members of "both
branches cf the legislature, and It is be
lieved It may have some effect. Ifcillway
men consider the pamphlet one of the best
ever published on that subject and think it
may convince the legislators that they are
going too far In their efforts to tax and re
strain roads.
MR. TRUESDALE ACCEPTS.

CHICAGO, Feb. 14.— " W. H. Truesdale, vice

he is to get a salary of $40,000 a year. Mr.
Truesdale enjoys the reputation of being one
of the ablest and best all-around railroad
men in the country, having had great expe
rience in all branches of the service. For
several years previous to Jan. 1, 1883, he was
assistant traffic manager of the Chicago, St.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha railway. In
January, 1883, he became connected with the
Minneapolis & St. Louis railway, and in
May, 1883, he was elected vice president and
ln 1887 elected president of the road. He
was receiver for this road from 1888 to 1894.
He succeeded E. St. John as general manager
of the Rock Island, aud was also elected sec
ond vice president of the road. A year ago
he was made first vice president, ln addition
to his duties as general manager.
