v THE ST. PAUL DAILY GLOBE. FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 5, 1884. ftMLUltt THE RAILROADS. ~ A A>ii> Vanderbilt ßoute Between Chicago and Portland, Mr. [Chicago Tribune, 4 th.] The impression prevails that an open war on east-bound paseenger rates cannot be ; tone** avoided, and it is believed that active | hostilities will be commenced within a day or . two. . Tue present state of affairs is much ; worse than an open war, and j subjects the roads to greater losses. The scalpers are now selling tickets Chicago to New York for $14, and in some instances for less, and they could not do this unless the roads paid them the difference between the regular and the cut rates and leave them a profit besides. As matters now are some of the roads get I no more than $10 on first-class tickets to New York, and on second-class and theatri- cal business they are compelled to take still less. The Grand Trunk and West Shore are of the opinion that it would be greatly to their benefit Ifrates' were at once reduced to $10, or even $5, to New York, as in that case matters would come to a focus and a better disposition would be shown to set- tle existing difficulties. The Erie is in full harmony with the above reads, but it hesitates to commence open hostilities, fear- ing that such an action would have a disas- trous effect on passenger earnings, and owing to its present financial condition it would prefer to have har- mony between the various roads re- stored without resorting to war. Bui as all its efforts to bring about au adjustment to settle the existing difficulties without resorting to an open warfare have j proved futile, it Is expected that it will now join the Grand Trunk and other anti-Van- derbilt roads in opening active hostilities, as it has come to the conclusion that that is the j only means by which the issue can be de- cided. . That the Vanderbilt roads have fullymade up their mind that a war must be fought is shown by* the fact that they have just per- fected arrangements fora new route between Chicago and Portland, via northern New England,* to'eri able them to strike back at the Grand Trunk in territory which it has heretofore controlled exclusively The new line is composed of the Portland A: Ogdenv bunr, Boston & Lowell (White Mountain di- vision Montpclier & Wells River, Central Vermont, Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain, and Rome, VVatPitown & Ogdensburg, In connection with the New York Central, Michigan Central and Lake Shore daily. The arrangements for this new line were con- summated bo quietly that it did not become known until the folders and time tables made their appearance-yesterday. The fact that the Central Vermont forms part of the above combination confirms the rumors that i Lave been In circulation for some time past to the effect thatVanderbllt had gained si strong' foothold with the Central Vermont, anil that this road Intended to cut loose from the Grand Trunk as much as possible. rvitnrs on tlir St. Paul X- Manitnbn lloail. The St. Paul & Manitoba road has Issued the following circular explaining the duties ot agents along the line of the road in in regard to the manner of conducting the elevator business: lleadquautehs St. Paci.& Manitoba Road ) St. Pat i..

To receive wheat from the tanners nt the usual elevator charges of two and one- half cents per bushel, preserving the identity of the heat whenever required and it if practicable to do so, and ship to .St. Paul, Minneapolis or Duluth, guaranteeing the weight of such special shipments in the market to which it is forwarded. Second. Store wheat for farmers in special bins, and preserve its identity, when ii is stored in lots sufficient to till one or more bins, when such storage can be supplied, and still continue taking wheat from far- mers as it may be offer* .1. Third. Where differences arise between buyer and seller as to price or grade, the ele vator company will consign it to any market desired, and allow the farmer what the wheat will bring, less the usual charges. Outside buyers who may have tickets call- ing tor wheat in elevators, should have the same shipping facilities as the elevator com- pany. Any failure to ship as required please report to your superintendent at once. If for any reason the elevator is not re- ceiving win at, please report the same at once, Bo that if possible, cars may be supplied. Agents will be expected to see that cars are promptly loaded and moved from their station, and be sure to order no more cars than will be required for each day loading. Such informations as agents can at any time give to farmers or others regarding prices, supply of cars, etc., should be promptly and cheerfully furnished. When elevators will not receive and grade grain, and give tickets therefor, cars may be furnished if they can be supplied. agents will keep one of these circulars posted in a conspicgous place in the depot office or waiting room where it can be con- veniently referred to by the public A. Maxvel, General Manager. MinnfajtolisJt Pacific Railway. Articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state yesterday afternoon of the Minneapolis & Pacific Railway company.

St. Louis, Mo., Sept 4.—Representatives of the trunk railroads running east from here, held a meeting this afternoon in Joint Commissioner Depew's office, for the pur- pose of fixingthe cotton tariff to the seaboard for the coming year. After the discussion Commissioner Dopew was instructed to confer with the Memphis roads, and to make 6ome arrangements with them under which the St. Louis lines shall be protected. An- other meeting will then be held, and the rate will be fixed, which will harmonize with Memphis, New Orleans and Galveston. The rate is not likely to be as high as that of last year. JiairXotem. Mr. J. C. Bay den, of the Chicago, Milwau kee & St. Paul road, has returned from Chi- cago. One of the trains on the St. Paul & Mani toba short line came down from Minne^polii to" St. Paul yesterday, in sixteen minute; from depot to depot. Mr. J. B. Powers, of t*e St. Paul & Mani oba road, has just returned, from the east He represents that business in the east as compared with Minnesota is dead. The Chicago & Northwestern earnings for the fourth week in August were $690,300, a decrease of $257,000, and for the month $l,l!l'J,700, a decrease or $403,700. Fifteen hundred head of cattle are being loaded at Dickinson lor the Minnesota trans- fer, by J. O. Driscoll & Son, of Chicago. Tin se cattle will require eighty-five cars. Mr. T J. Ripley, late assistant general fr.-iglit agent of the Wabash, has assumed charge as commissioner of the Wabash-Bur- lington pool, with headquarters in this city. Mr. Roscwell Miller, assistant general manager of the Chicago, Milwaukee <fe St. Paul road, who has just returned to Milwau- kee from New York, ssiys there is not a wonl of truth in the rumor of wholesale changes in the management of the roud. Col. Warren, general passenger agent of the St. Paul & Manitoba road, has been made an honorary member of Company D, First regiment the Allen Light guards. The commission was very handsomely enclosed in a gilt frame and duly presented to him. The Milwaukee &, St. Paul railway's gross earning! for the month of August were $1,- --825.000, against 81, 850,000 for that month in ISB3, decrease, $25,000. Of this decrease $15,000 was during the last week of the month, the earnings of that week having been 1623,000 against $638,000 for the cor- responding week in 18S3. Ex-President Billings arrived in St. Paul yesterday, in a special car from Duluth. He had nothing of any consequence to say more than that he traveled all over the Northern Pacific road by daylight and saw the whole of it, and was much gratified with the road and its equipment, and the country through which it runs. The general freight agents of lowa, Min- nesota and Dakota roads at their meeting in Milwaukee, Tuesday came to an agreement to take effect Sept. 8, that the coarse grain rates shi'.ll apply on potatoes in car load lots in the Joint western classification, and when from points in lowa, Minnesota and Dakota, to apply both on local and through ship- ments. It was also agreed that hay in cars, twenty-eight feet or less inside measure- ment, lie taken at a minimum weight of 18,- --000 pounds; all other cars, minimum weight, 20,000 pounds. HE HAD A PASS. And He Was Advised to Pass on, to Minneapolis. Oh, the brave charge he made ; Oh, th<t fjood izruU he slaved, .Never a cent he payed, Much to their wonder. Baked beims to ritrht of him, Bansage and saner kraut, all disappeared As he < ri- v -':-tuiid from under!" He walked like one alone; the lights were out, the banquet hall deserted. Yes, patient and long suffering reader, he walked into the court room, glanced at the empty bull pen, and with an air that almost 6aid, "I despise this desolation," he walked out again where the blue canopy and the free luuch counter awaited him. He bore the illustri- ous name of Jones, and he greeted the charge of vagrancy with a withering smile. The idea of him being a luncii fiend, he ex- postulated; why, he had just came in on a tie pass, but not because he could not ride if he wanted to; the president of the road was his old college friend, and had given him an annual pass over the Break Your Neck rail- road, but he walked for his health because bis physician told him he was getting too ro- bust, and was in danger of appoplexy. That is the kind of a man he was. "How did you come to be in a free lunch Baloon,' 1 said hlzzoner. "Easy enough, to be sure: I just walked j in to see bow business was; you see, your i honor, I bad a tip on the place and was j thinking about buying it out for a friend." '\u25a0How soon do you think you can square up your business and get out of town," said the court. "Let me see I have an engagement at the bank at 10; it is now 9; the air train goes at 11 o'clock, and I think I can make it." The court told him to go, and he skipped. The only other cases were those of two br.-wers, Braggerman and Yox>rg; they were charged with keeping pigs in the city limits, and aa Braggerman had sold his twine the case again»t him was dismissed, the other cum.- being continued to the Gth.

Trying to Shoot Sitting BulL A startling episode took place in the en- trance to the Grand Opera house after the ', performance Wednesday night, which came within a hair's breadth of sending Mr. Sit- ting Bull to join his scalp lifting progenitors in the happy hunting grounds. The curtain I had rung down on the last act of "My. Part- | ncr," and as the audience passed out a | great many persons tarried in the grand j entrance way for the purpose of I catching a near glimpse of Sitting Bull and j his braves wh'j had occupied one of the J boxes during the evening. As the Indians I reached the door leading to the hallway the I crowd in waiting closed in on the Dartv and at this moment a man stepped to the rear! of Sitting Bull and, drawing a revolver, he ! aimed it at the big Indian's bead. It was \u25a0 dune in a flash, but before the trigger had time to fall a half dozen arms had reached for the gun and it WM wrested from the hand that held it. In the excitement that followed the man mingled I with the crowd and got away without being detected, but it is supposed that the attempt was made to avenge the death of some rela- tives slain In the Custer massacre. At any rate it was a close shave and Mr. Bull may thank his stars tbat he retains his scalp lock. FREE AND EASY CLUB. A Merry Account of a Grand and Awful Time. Terrific .'Struggle to Hold a Meeting of a Blame Club. The Bis Guns Desert and the Small Boys Run the Circus. The Ceutral Blame & Logan club held a meeting at Pfeifer's hall last night, the at- tendance being very moderate. The meeting wa6 called to order about 8 o'clock by A. F. Nordin, the president, who took occasion to express a feeling of disap- pointment for the slim attendance, and he then proceeded to congratulate those present for the rapid growth of the club. He stated that ex-Gov. Davis. Gen. Baker, Col. Hicks and prominent speakers had promised to be present, but they had all been compel- led to decline. He then outlined the fea- tures of the campaign work, and in conclu- sion he introduced Capt. Berger, who he said would make a speech. The latter responded to the invitation, saying that while he was not prepared to make a speech he hoped he would be excused for rambling over a few discordant thoughts. He said lie was only an active worker in the glorious cause of electing Blame and Logan. He h:id read the letters of acceptance of most of the candidates and he had concluded that the party they endorsed had the best record of any of the candidates for President. He had cast his first vote for Abraham Lincoln when nineteen years of age with his teeth, his arms having been dis- abled in the war. He had been challenged by Democrats, but on giving his war record he was allowed to cast his vote. He was not one of the boys whom Carl Schurz carried in his vest pocket, he had worked for the latter when he was running for senator, and he was sorry for it; he had lost faith in him and he didn't carry as many votes in his vest pocket as be used to. The Germans were a thinking class ofpeople, and he defied any Democrat to point out a half dozen {imminent Geiman Republicans who had turned their backs airainst the party. He admitted that the Republican party was not what it ought to he, and tliat there were many things that needed rectifying. He then paid his respects to the Democratic party, saying that they had fousrht the fourteenth amendment, and he predicted that in four years the latter wonld follow the Republicans on the tarifl' question . In conclusion he pre- dicted the complete defeat of the Democracy. Mr. 1). F. R is, vice president of the club, was then introduced. He said be m pad that Capt. Berger bad irivcn the lie to the statements that the Germaus were not loyal to the ir.rand old Republican party. Tiie lat- ter was the party of progress and liberty, and even the Irish, he said, wen preparing to come over in solid phalanx to elect Blame and Logan. The Republican party ha<l struck the shackles from lour million slaves, and the colored brethren were with the grand and glorious and ever to be successful party. Alter a tow more whirls at the bloody shirt he refer- red to the mission ot "the Republican party, which largely consisted in blotting out po- lygamy. He t=aid the Democratic party was Mck now an J that it would be sinker. The Democratic horse was on its last legs and it was making its last race. At this stage E. P. Wade, a colored brother came into the hall, when the speaker paid him a compliment and called him to the platform. Mr. Nordin got to his feet and inJanaed the audience that since Mr. Wade had arrived the disappointment hud vam- oosed. Mr. Wade then stepped to the front and said it made him proud to say something for the errand and glorious old couulrv. He then stated why he was a Republican, the principal reason being because the plumed knight was at the head of the ticket and the black eagle, of Illinois, was at the head of it. [Loud and prolonged applause.] lie then referred to the principles of the Democratic party and explained by asking the sapient question "what are its principles?" After this he struck a funny vein and explained himself after the fashion of the end man in a minstrel show, the circus being very much enjoyed by the audience. He then tackled the sheriff question, saying that he didn't know much about it, but all! the same be proceeded to discuss it from the bread and meat standpoint. He 'wound up by referring to the condition of the colored race in the south and to the political situa- tior in that section of the country. He re- ferred to the oppression of the colored race and contrasted it with the progress made by them in the past twenty years. The meeting closed with a short address by Mr. Nordin ; he said the club was a free and easy club and that all were invited to attend and express their sentiments. After telling a coon story he announced that a meeting would take place next Thursday night and' all were invited to come and bring their friends with them. incorporations. Articles of incorporation were filed with the secretary of state yesterday of the Minnc j sota Savings and Loan society for the saving J of funds to be loaned its members for the purchase of real estate, building of houses, satisfaction of mortgages and other invest- ments; also for the purchase, holding and i sale of real estate taken on forfeiture, fore- j closure or otherwise, etc. The principal place of business is at St. Paul and the same commences September 15, ISS4, for a con- tinuance of thirty years, the first monthly meeting to be held the first Tuesday in Octo- ber. The capital stock is placed at $1,000,- --000, divided into 20,000 shares of $50 each, the corporation being permitted to transact business when 2,000 shares have been sub- scribed for and taken. The highest amount of indebtedness is limited to $15,000, for the completion of loans and redemption of stock and 000 for amount of expenses. The incorporators and first board of directors are Charles Passavant Hermann; Trott, W. P. Jewett, E. T. Williams, F. F. Wilde, Geo. H. Hazzard, Charles Faber, J. B.

Henkle went to Min- neapolis last evening, and will remain over Sunday. Quite a number attended the picnic of the LTniversalist Sunday school at Lake Elmo yesterday. Wheat receipts almost nil yesterday. The day was too flue for the farmers to quit their home work. Mr. Frank Howe, of Red Wing, was in the city yesterday looking up logs; he exam- ined several lots. A few days ago Mr. W. D. King went to Red Wing after Mta. King and baby, and all returned yesterday. The Omaha road has had a large sign, "The Royal route, "put on the bill boards just cast of Main street on Nelson. There was quite a stampede of our citi- zens yesterday to the Minneapolis fair, the trains being well loaded. We learn that several large sales of logs are on the verge of being closed, and our log men feel good over the prospect. Judee Lhhmickc, was busy yesterday with I the pensioners who were forwarding their i orders to the. department. This work is done each quarter. The courts yesterday were almost a blank, the municipal court haying only one drunk, who paid ?7.50, while in the district and pro- bate courts there was not a single case. Miss Lcmoinc will begin her profession as a teacher in the Schulenburg school, tak- ing the primary department, while Miss Eva Smith will continue in her old depart- ment. Mr. F. W. Sturtevant, of Montevideo, this ! state, is visitimr his brother, who wants him to enter in the five mile go as you please race at the fair next week. He could not see it. The school board, at its meeting yesterday, decided to give the pupils of the schools a half holiday on Tuesday, that the young folks might visit the fair, it being free for them that day. j." ;!?>;. The Car company will have the last of their sroods and chattels moved from the of- fices lately occupied, into their former loca- tion in the prison buildings. They are re- moddlcd better than the original. Lacomb's saloou, near the postolHce, is be- ing enlarged, the back room being taken into the main one. The floor is also being raised, and the bar aliixed to- the south side. The improvement was much required. Mr. and Mrs. Gail who have been rusticat- ing a couple of weeks at Mahtoir.edi, re- I turned yesterday. They were much pleased with the location, but Mrs. Gail thinks that St Patrick should have visited that region. There was a good attendance last evening of Co. Kat the armory. Col. Bend was pres- ent, and although he could not remain until j the close of the drill, he gave the company | some good advice, by which, they will no doubt profit. We arc sorry to learn of the sudden illness of Mr. Chas. R. Middleton, one of Still- water's rising attorneys. He was attacked very violently with kidney disease on Wed- nesday evening, and the doctors consider it a serious attack. To-night there will be a social in the school room of the Presbyterian church, be- gininjj at 8 o'clock. If they have as nice ice cream and cake, and the other excellent et- ceteras as they did at the last one, we can only say it will be first class. Miss Cora F. Blodgett, of St. Paul, has been engaged as assistant hitch school teacher. She will take the literature and rhetoric classes, for which she is Deculiarlv fitted, having taken a special course In these branches In Wellcsley college, Mass.

It is fitted up with every convenience and will, We know, be appreciated by those who may wish to go to that quiet resort. Mr. Oscar Lehmickc left at noon yester- day for Montana. He had a thorough cow- boy suit on, and looked as if be knew how to do the duty of such an one. lie was much pleased with his visit home, . and did not think he had so many warm friends. However, give him the free air and the heal- thy exercise that can be had in Montana. The dollars and dimes still keep pouring in foa the benefit to officer McCarthy. When the police who have the main selling of the tickets- called on Mr. Bean to purchase a ticket he handed the officer a S3, bill, when the officer said he had not enough change. Mr. Bean said lie did not want any. That is the kind of reception the boys are meeting with.- -,\u25a0:• t^ : -,;i ::;:,- Yesterday morning a"; delivery wagon belonging to the C. N.

A wheel was wrenched off, the buggy over- turned and Mr. Rutherford's two daughters thrown out on the street, but they escaped unhurt. A cold wave struck the city yesterday, blowing from Minneapolis. The teeth of the faithful chattered, and they drew their ritantlcs about and durrt hardly come out of their shells. And the cause of this wave was the arrival of the Hon. J. B. Gilnllan, ' the Republican nominee for congress for this district. After being here a short time he began to thaw out, and the faithful followed suit. Of course he came over with his friend J.W.Martin, lumberman of Minneapolis, to look at the log market and see how the harvest would pan out. He was very mum, and only a few were let into the secret. Happy Al, as be calls himself, has opened out a most attractive display, of ingeniously contrived curiosities, which he made in the state prison during a five years' service. There ere curiously made picture frames, finely inlaid work boxes, a violin that would be prized by a savant, endless chain all of wood, negro dancers worked on \u25a0 springs, miniature ships and steamboats, with an end- less variety of new patterns. He deserves credit for the stand he has taken, and al- though . out only a few days he has begun making honestly earned dim's. He is in the store next to Kilty Bros., whore the ' dime museum formerly was. \u25a0 . Yesterday morning, what we would con- sider an undue advantage was ; being taken of the "Old Folks" team, which is to play the Police team at the base . ball' park on Sunday.

Matt gave -an extra pressure with his teeth as another hot' ball came in contact with his hand*, showed that boMi were rtltinzoa the Witr mint for the coming contest.' ' They go in to '; win, but they will have to play a good game to do so, as the "Old ; Boys" have any amount of challenges awaiting their reply. . XJ, ...;. Juvenile Operetta To-night. The operetta by the young folks of Mrs. Ella Baker's classes, as well as , the musical entertainment by the older ones, in the Music hall promises to be a grand success. The costuming of the misses, and masters is all that may be desired; as we have had a peep behind the scenes we can say they will do full justice to Mrs. Baker's tuition, who has a happy way in getting up choice entertain- ments. Those who are not present will miss a treat. The first of the operettas that will be produced is . ;. -.'. "\u25a0\u25a0'\u25a0 .

Such a list of well-known young folks of the city is not often presented to the citizens, and as their friends are legion they cannot fail to have a good house. The ladies and gentlemen who are to take part in the musi- cal entertainment, besides the operettas are well-known, and if their names were men- tiened it would be a sufficient j guarantee of the excellence of the treat being given to our citizens.

Tramps are unusu- ally numerous on our streets the past week, but have caused no disturbance, and but few arrests have been made. Preparations for the state fair are pro- gressing rapidly. , Several new buildings are being erected. .The fence about the grounds is being repaired, additions and repairs are being done on the exposition building built last year; eating houses and booths put in shape for occupancy; the track is being put in first class condition, and every part is as- suming a lively and business like appear- ance. The city council met last evening at city hall, and after the regular routine of busi- ness the local state fair committee, who were present, asked for an appropriation for the purpose of helping to defray the expenses of some improvements necessary to be made on the fair grounds, and of decorating the city. After some discussion $300 was ap- propriated and will be placed in the commit- tee's hands for that purpose, which, with what they already have on hand, was thought sufficient for that purpose. \u25a0 \u25a0 Rev.

The rain was not heavy, but the lightning was exceedingly sharp and followed quickly by heavy claps of thunder that caused the nervous to duck their heads and hurry on as they passed down the street. Cornelius Larson, of Simon, in this county, while plowing in the field was struck by lightning and instantly killed, and his horses, which he was driving, were also killed, while the same bolt struck and burned three wheat stacks that stood in the same field, about forty rods from' where Larson was at the time. Larson was a young man about thirty years of age and leaves a wife and three small children to mourn hi 3 loss. The lightning struck a setting of wheat stacks in the town of Havana on the farm of Mr. Hatly, but with the assistance of his neighbors he succeeded in saving all but a part of one stack. The lightning also struck in several other places, burning in one instance a shock of wheat for L. J. More- house in Owatonna township, and hitting a tree near the city mill on the west side of the river. MENDOT A. jSpecial Correspondence of the Globe- 1 Mexdota, Sept. '4, 1883.— great reaper has again visited us, sickle in hand, and cut down in the flower and vigor of maidenhood one of the most beloved and popular young ladies of this place, Miss Jo- hanna Hayes. Miss Hayes attended the convent schools in this place about ten years and was a great favorite with the sisters and pupils, her charming manners and modesty gaining her numerous friends everywhere. There she received that excellent moral and religious training which afterwards bore fruit and ripened into a rich and glittering harvest. . - ' The deceased was only 17 years old, was endowed with fine mental qualities, and was a bright gem in society, being well educated, accomplished, and very affable. She will be greatly missed. - . .."..-..;';•; She died at an early hour on Thursday, Aug. ' 28, when the spirit broke its shackles and soared aloft majestically, unfettered and free from restraint, to its ethereal home of perennial bliss. Numerous floral offer- ! ings, among which was a large Celtic cross of rare design, were placed on the hand- some casket which encased the remains. The funeral service was very solemn and im- pressive. Deep sympathy is felt for the family, and Mrs. Hayes, mother of the deceased is in- consolable. M. Haggebtt. Real Estate Transfers.

He is the only candidate who makes a personal canvass. It is not learned what position Hughes wants. The Blunt Times says: The purchase by the C. &N. W. of the Omaha Pacific road, and the contracts for the extension thereof west of the Missouri river, will work a great change in Black Hills freight business. The route by that line is considerably shorter for wagon train freights than via Pierre, and the new movement is expected to divert a large amount of business from that place. The Jamestown Alert, which has been a morning, is now an evening paper. The place now has two neat, lively evening dailies, of the same politics. It is a puzzle to a ne-v comer how a town of 8,000 people, or less, can sustain two dailies. It could not be done in towns of double the size in the staies, and the newspaper support in the cities of Dakota does not differ materially from that given papers in the states. ; There is little in the boom business for newspapers any more. The farmers of Pembina county are fully convinced that they can raise stock up there profitably, and some of them are already en- gaged in the business. The Bat.hgate Saitinel says: "Three carloads of blooded . cattle passed through here Friday evening, billed toNeche. They are shorthorns, and were destined for Mr. H. A. Mayo's farm near Walhalla. This gentleman intends going into the stock business quite extensively, and this lot of seventy-five head is his first installment." \u25a0"\u25a0-/\u25a0;;' - ~ One sensible opinion has been embodied In a circular from the land department at Washington in regard to the character of the publications that may print final proof no- tices. This circular tolls the death knell of so called final proof newspapers that are pub- lished throughout the public land states and territories. There must be a post ofiice at the professed place of publication; also a town, (a farm house and stable do not con- stitute a town,) then there must be a legiti- mate circulation (twenty copies to an issue will not serve hereafter,) and proof of circu- lation must be presented. Next mere geo- graphical distance will not decide the 1 regis- ter's action. Whatever newspaper he deter- mines upon "as the nearest," all things considered, is the one in which the notice will appear. : , ' . '\u0084 .The Sloe Murder and Suicide. The Grand Forks Herald has these partic- ulars of the bloody affair noted by telegraph: The atrocious murder of Mrs. Moe was last night supplemented by another horror, in front of Deputy Sheriff Crane's place, two miles south of Arvilla, by the suicide of Moe, who while Sheriff Jcnks was in the act of getting out of the wagon, snatched his revol- ver from his hip pocket and shot himself in the forehead, causing instant death. . Moe had been captured about fifteen minutes be- fore Sheriff Jenks and Dr. Rounvells arrived at the orphaned home in Llnd. He had wan- dered three days on the prairie after killing his wife and said he knew he would be hanged and concluded to come in and sur- render. The people who were watching the body saw him come through the pasture op- posite the branch, and had difficulty v cap- turing him. Soon after he was secured the sheriff came, and the body of the woman and Moe were taken over to Northwood, where an inquest was held. Moe gave an account of the deed. He said that he talked the kill- ing over with his wife and they were each to kill the other. She refused, however, and stood up in front of him and he used a razor to cut her throat. The razor with blood on it was found on Moe. After he had killed her he covered her among the willows, put the children to bed and raised the signal. The children did not recognize him on account of his disguise. The verdict was rendered accordingly and the citizens interred the remains of the de- ceased woman and took charge of tho chil- dren. The sheriff and Dr. Rounsvell then took Moe and brought him to Larimorc, and thence to Deputy Sheriff Crane's farm about two miles south of Arvilla. Dr. Rounsvell and Sheriff Jenks occupied the f ron t seat and i Moe the hind seat with one arm in the hand of the sheriff. He seemed to be very quiet and thoughtful, raising his hand to his head as if in deep meditation. The sheriff appre- hended no trouble and when they halted at Crane's, the sheriff got up and jumped down. As he arose he felt a tugging at his side but supposed the doctor bad been- sitting on his coat. He had just alit, however, when he was startled by a pistol report and turning quickly, put his hand on his hip and bis pis- tol was gone. At the same Instant the team started and Moe fell forward into the sheriff's arms without a groan, he having seize 1 the pistol and shot himself in the forehead. ' He expired instantly, and in falling, his leg got into the wheel but was disengaged by the sheriff. The dead murderer was left there "and the sheriff came in last night to take the coroner out, who held an inqneat on the body to-day." ;'• Sir. Ay*rit % Opinion of Dakota. \u25a0 The Grand Forks Herald is probably misin- formed about Mr. Ayers owning the railroad he built mainly, which is now a part of the Wabasb system, but most Ulinoisans know of him, and will be interested in this state- ment of his impressions of Dakota: ,• . "M.. A. Aycrs, -of Jacksonville, 111 .. has been v visiting Mr. Tbos. Booth on the Elk Valley farm the past week. Mr. Ayers is the oldest banker in the state of Illinois, and' one of the wealthiest men as well. He has built, owns and : controls a paying railroad in Illi- nois, and is a keen business man in every \u25a0sense of the word. Mr. Avers was very much pleased with Dakota \u25a0 and the Elk valley es- pecially. It beats anything he ever saw be- fore and in his judgment wrs destined to be- come even greater. il= said if \ lie was only fifty years old he would build . railroads all over north Dakota for the purpose of carry- > ing off the wheat. The acres on acres of wheat to be seen from any point in the val- ' ley was a revelation to him, and the fact that Dakota would export as much wheat as Illi- , nois seemed almost impossible, when only four years ago Dakota was unknown while | the state of Illinois has been developed for these many years. Mr. Ayers predicts great results for north Dakota." What the Assessment Holla Show. Last year north Dakota was ahead on th« valuation of the assessors. The footings were : North Dakota '. . .$37,000,810 South Dakota 32,147,779 giving a margin to the north of 84,859,011. This year the figures just completed show: North Dakota «39,460,221.02 South Dakota 44,595,362.31 putting south Dakota ahead 15,134,141.29. The largest figures for any county are for Cass, in the north, 16,736,882. The next is Lawrence, in the Black Hills, 4,034,105. There are forty-two counties returned in the south and twenty-lour in the north. The north shows the healthy increase of about two and a half millions and the south over twelve millions. A few counties show decrease, like Grand Forks in the north and Clay and Davison in the south, and Custer in the Black Hills. The greatest gains have been in the new counties in the central region, which have been settled almost entirely within the past four years. The fact is evi- dent that the counties south of the 46th par- allel have gained a great majority of the em- igration the past two years. This has been partly due to the superior inducements of- fered and extension of railroads in the south and center, but probably still more to the impression that production in the north is chiefly restricted to one crop. The north needs greater diversity in crops and more stock, for which it is well adapted, and which it is going into more. There is now very little good land south cf the 46th parallel and east of the Missouri river not entered, and those who wish to make claims must go north or west. One curious incident is that Burleigh county, with its new capitol, falls back §233,724, while Yankton goes ahead $159,000. ' Tito Delegate Question. The Howard Farmer expresses about the run of sentiment in the south on the dele- gate matter in this: "Of the 1380 delegates to seats in the convention south Dakota has 250. Should the Black Hills counties- Lawrence, Pennington and Custer which together will have a representation of thirty- one in the convention, be gobbled up by north Dakota a transaction not at all probable that portion of the territory south of the 46th parallel will still have a majority. Let the most available man in south Dakota be put in nomination ' for delegate to con- gress and all pull together, and the north Dakota 'bosses' will go home with a flea in both ears. The 'row counties' have played second fiddle to 'No. 1 hard' about long enough. Let south Dakota send delegates to the Pierre convention who are loyal to her and all will be well." The Jim River Journal in Dickey county, strongly supports Hon. C. G. Williams for delegate, and says of him: "While representing the Jauesville, Wiscon- sin, district in congress, he was considered an orator to have only one equal in the west, the brilliant and lamented Senator Carpen- ter. He enjoys the intimate acquaintance and friendship of all snch men as James G. Blame, John A. Logan, Thomas A. Hen- dricks, and all our present leaders in con- gress. With such a man representing Da- kota in the halls of congress, we believe she would be felt, and her interests always heeded." He would be a great contrast to the present member, who is said to be unable to make a speech. Some think the repre- sentative of 400,000 people should be able to talk on his feet. .',. ; , Free Distribution. "What causes the great rush at A. P. Wilkes', Seven corners,' F. H.

HOW HE WAS RECEIVED. The Decree of Enthusiasm With "Which Butler Was Received By au Audience of Workiueriueu. I Special Telegram to the Globe. | CnicAGO, Sept. 3. About 3,000 people as. seiublcd in Battery D armory last evening to participate in the Butler reception, and to hear what that much nominated gentleman would have to say. The committee of arrangements blundered uupardouably in not securing accom- modations for at least half the audience, and in failing to take timely steps for the preservation of order. A hundred and fifty chairs in the center of the large hall were speedily utilized and around them hundreds of people crowded, all trying to sqeeze through to the front. In the vicinity of the speaker's stand the jamwas suffocating in the extreme, and it was almost impossible for even Gen. Butler himself to make his way through it to the platform. The number of ladies present did not exceed two dozen, and it was just as well, as the pleasure of hearing the speech of the evening could hardly compensate them for the discomfort and annoy- ance from whlce there was no escape. The ar- mory was poorly ventilated and the heavy im- pure air made respiration difficult and sorely discouraged the standing collar. At no time during the evening could perfect quiet be ob- tained, the men and boys on the outside con- tributing a? much as possible to the inconveni- ence which the speaker VII put to in addressing such an ill-arranged meeting. In response to occasional cries of "louder"' the general told the criers that he was doing his best, and that if every man present would keep quiet there would be no difficulty in hearing. Strictly speaking it could not be called an enthu- siastic crowd. .The applause was frequent and very hearty, but the enthusiasm never went beyond the clapping ol hands, with the usual shout of approbation from individuals. A turbulent character just north ol the platform made himself conspicuous by mak- ing remarks in reply to the pointed observa- tions of the speaker. These unmannerly inter- ruptions wen always followed by cries of "put him out" from all parts of the hall, which of course only added to the general confusion. Fi- nally Gen. Butler lost his patience, and stamping his foot and shaking ' his fist at the crowd be commanded silence, then pointing out the fellow who was the cause of the disturbance ho shouted: "And you, fir: you had better keep quiet, or when I'm president I won't par- don you out of the state's prison." This brought down the house, and the "smart aleck" was not heart from again. The crowd was composeu almost exclusively of the labor element. Not Considered. Madison', VTis., Sept. 3. The committee ap- pointed by the board of university regents to consider the charges that President Bascom was meddling with politics too much and neglecting his duties made a report to the board to-day. The committee stales that it has been unable to get a quorum together for the meeting, and the charges are returned without recommendation. *P"7wr^^fc ** "t^?^K^^B = ~^B^^K=^E ; THE GREAT GERMAN REMEDY FOR PAIN.

A A>ii> Vanderbilt ßoute Between Chicago

and Portland, Mr.[Chicago Tribune, 4 th.]

The impression prevails that an open war

on east-bound paseenger rates cannot be ;tone** avoided, and it is believed that active |hostilities will be commenced within a day or .two. . Tue present state of affairs is much ;worse than an open war, and j subjects the

roads to greater losses. The scalpers are

now selling tickets Chicago to New Yorkfor $14, and in some instances for less, andthey could not do this unless the roads paidthem the difference between the regular andthe cut rates and leave them a profit besides.As matters now are some of the roads get Ino more than $10 on first-class tickets to

New York, and on second-class and theatri-cal business they are compelled to take stillless. The Grand Trunk and West Shore areof the opinion that it would be greatly to

their benefit Ifrates' were at once reducedto $10, or even $5, to New York, as inthat case matters would come to a focus anda better disposition would be shown to set-tle existing difficulties. The Erie is in fullharmony with the above reads, but ithesitates to commence open hostilities, fear-

ing that such an action would have a disas-trous effect on passenger earnings,and owing to its present financialcondition it would prefer to have har-mony between the various roads re-stored without resorting to war.Bui as all its efforts to bring about auadjustment to settle the existing difficultieswithout resorting to an open warfare have jproved futile, it Is expected that it will nowjoin the Grand Trunk and other anti-Van-derbilt roads in opening active hostilities, asit has come to the conclusion that that is the jonly means by which the issue can be de-cided. .

That the Vanderbilt roads have fullymadeup their mind that a war must be fought isshown by* the fact that they have just per-fected arrangements fora new route betweenChicago and Portland, via northern NewEngland,* to'eri able them to strike back atthe Grand Trunk in territory which it hasheretofore controlled exclusively The newline is composed of the Portland A: Ogdenvbunr, Boston & Lowell (White Mountain di-vision Montpclier & Wells River, CentralVermont, Ogdensburg & Lake Champlain,and Rome, VVatPitown & Ogdensburg, Inconnection with the New York Central,Michigan Central and Lake Shore daily. Thearrangements for this new line were con-summated bo quietly that it did not becomeknown until the folders and time tablesmade their appearance-yesterday. The factthat the Central Vermont forms part of theabove combination confirms the rumors that i

Lave been In circulation for some time pastto the effect thatVanderbllt had gained sistrong' foothold with the Central Vermont,anil that this road Intended to cut loose fromthe Grand Trunk as much as possible.

After the discussionCommissioner Dopew was instructed toconfer with the Memphis roads, and to make6ome arrangements with them under whichthe St. Louis lines shall be protected. An-other meeting will then be held, and the ratewill be fixed, which will harmonize withMemphis, New Orleans and Galveston. Therate is not likely to be as high as that of lastyear.

And He Was Advised to Pass on, toMinneapolis.

Oh, the brave charge he made ;Oh, th<t fjood izruU he slaved,.Never a cent he payed,Much to their wonder.Baked beims to ritrht of him,Bansage and saner kraut, all disappearedAs he < ri- v -':-tuiid from under!"

He walked like one alone; the lights wereout, the banquet hall deserted. Yes, patientand long suffering reader, he walked intothe court room, glanced at the empty bullpen, and with an air that almost 6aid, "Idespise this desolation," he walked out againwhere the blue canopy and the free luuchcounter awaited him. He bore the illustri-ous name of Jones, and he greeted thecharge of vagrancy with a withering smile.The idea of him being a luncii fiend, he ex-postulated; why, he had just came in on atie pass, but not because he could not ride ifhe wanted to; the president of the road washis old college friend, and had given him anannual pass over the Break Your Neck rail-road, but he walked for his health because

bis physician told him he was getting too ro-bust, and was in danger ofappoplexy. Thatis the kind of a man he was.

Trying to Shoot Sitting BulLA startling episode took place in the en-

trance to the Grand Opera house after the', performance Wednesday night, which came

within a hair's breadth of sending Mr. Sit-ting Bull to join his scalp liftingprogenitorsin the happy hunting grounds. The curtain

I had rung down on the last act of "My. Part-| ncr," and as the audience passed out a| great many persons tarried in the grandj entrance way for the purpose of

I catching a near glimpse of Sitting Bull andj his braves wh'j had occupied one of the

J boxes during the evening. As the IndiansI reached the door leading to the hallway theI crowd in waiting closed in on the Dartv and

at this moment a man stepped to the rear!of Sitting Bull and, drawing a revolver, he !aimed itat the big Indian's bead. It was \u25a0

dune in a flash, but before the trigger hadtime to fall a half dozen arms had reachedfor the gun and it WMwrested from the hand that held it. In theexcitement that followed the man mingled Iwith the crowd and got away without beingdetected, but itis supposed that the attemptwas made to avenge the death of some rela-tives slain In the Custer massacre. At anyrate it was a close shave and Mr. Bull maythank his stars tbat he retains his scalp lock.

FREE AND EASY CLUB.

A Merry Account of a Grand andAwful Time.

Terrific.'Struggle to Hold a Meeting of aBlame Club.

The Bis Guns Desert and the Small BoysRun the Circus.

The Ceutral Blame &Logan club held ameeting at Pfeifer's hall last night, the at-tendance being very moderate.

The meeting wa6 called to order about 8o'clock by A. F. Nordin, the president, whotook occasion to express a feeling of disap-pointment for the slim attendance, and hethen proceeded to congratulate those presentfor the rapid growth of the club. He statedthat ex-Gov. Davis. Gen. Baker, Col. Hicksand prominent speakers had promisedto be present, but they had all been compel-led to decline. He then outlined the fea-tures of the campaign work, and in conclu-sion he introduced Capt. Berger, who hesaid would make a speech.

The latter responded to the invitation,saying that while he was not prepared tomake a speech he hoped he would be excusedfor rambling over a few discordant thoughts.He said lie was only an active worker in theglorious cause of electing Blame and Logan.He h:id read the letters of acceptanceof most of the candidates and he hadconcluded that the party they endorsed hadthe best record of any of the candidates forPresident. He had cast his first vote forAbraham Lincoln when nineteen years ofage with his teeth, his arms having been dis-abled in the war. He had been challengedby Democrats, but on giving his war recordhe was allowed to cast his vote. He was notone of the boys whom Carl Schurz carried inhis vest pocket, he had worked for the latterwhen he was running for senator, and hewas sorry for it; he had lost faith in him andhe didn't carry as many votes in his vestpocket as be used to. The Germans were athinking class ofpeople, and he defied anyDemocrat to point out a halfdozen {imminent Geiman Republicanswho had turned their backs airainst the party.He admitted that the Republican party wasnot what it ought to he, and tliat there weremany things that needed rectifying. He thenpaid his respects to the Democratic party,saying that they had fousrht the fourteenthamendment, and he predicted that in fouryears the latter wonld followthe Republicanson the tarifl' question . In conclusion he pre-dicted the complete defeat of the Democracy.

Mr. 1). F. R is, vice president of the club,was then introduced. He said be m padthat Capt. Berger bad irivcn the lie to thestatements that the Germaus were not loyalto the ir.rand old Republican party. Tiie lat-ter was the party of progress and liberty, andeven the Irish, he said, wenpreparing to come over in solidphalanx to elect Blame and Logan.The Republican party ha<l struck the shacklesfrom lour million slaves, and the coloredbrethren were with the grand and gloriousand ever to be successful party. Alter atow more whirls at the bloody shirt he refer-red to the mission ot "the Republican party,which largely consisted in blotting out po-lygamy. He t=aid the Democratic party wasMck now an J that it would be sinker. TheDemocratic horse was on its last legs and itwas making its last race.

At this stage E. P. Wade, a colored brothercame into the hall, when the speaker paidhim a compliment and called him to theplatform. Mr.Nordin got to his feet andinJanaed the audience that since Mr. Wadehad arrived the disappointment hud vam-oosed.

Mr. Wade then stepped to the front andsaid it made him proud to say something forthe errand and glorious old couulrv. He

then stated why he was a Republican, theprincipal reason being because the plumedknight was at the head of the ticket and theblack eagle, of Illinois, was at the head of it.[Loud and prolonged applause.] lie thenreferred to the principles of the Democraticparty and explained by asking the sapientquestion "what are its principles?" Afterthis he struck a funny vein and explainedhimself after the fashion of the end man ina minstrel show, the circus beingvery much enjoyed by the audience.He then tackled the sheriff question, sayingthat he didn't know much about it, but all!the same be proceeded to discuss it from thebread and meat standpoint. He 'wound upby referring to the condition of the coloredrace in the south and to the political situa-tior in that section ofthe country. He re-ferred to the oppression of the colored raceand contrasted it with the progress made bythem in the past twenty years.

The meeting closed with a short address byMr. Nordin ; he said the club was a free andeasy club and that all were invited to attendand express their sentiments. After tellinga coon story he announced that a meetingwould take place next Thursday night and'all were invited to come and bring theirfriends with them.

The city council met last evening at cityhall, and after the regular routine of busi-ness the local state fair committee, who werepresent, asked for an appropriation for thepurpose of helping to defray the expenses ofsome improvements necessary to be madeon the fair grounds, and of decorating thecity.

which he was driving, were also killed, whilethe same bolt struck and burned three wheatstacks that stood in the same field, aboutforty rods from' where Larson was at thetime. Larson was a young man about thirtyyears of age and leaves a wife and threesmall children to mourn hi3loss.

The Bat.hgate Saitinelsays: "Three carloads of blooded . cattlepassed through here Friday evening, billedtoNeche. They are shorthorns, and weredestined for Mr. H. A. Mayo's farm nearWalhalla. This gentleman intends goinginto the stock business quite extensively,and this lot of seventy-five head is his firstinstallment." \u25a0"\u25a0-/\u25a0;;' - ~

One sensible opinion has been embodiedIn a circular from the land department atWashington in regard to the character of thepublications that may print final proof no-tices. This circular tolls the death knell ofso called final proof newspapers that are pub-lished throughout the public land states andterritories. There must be a post ofiice atthe professed place of publication; also atown, (a farm house and stable do not con-stitute a town,) then there must be a legiti-mate circulation (twenty copies to an issuewill not serve hereafter,) and proof of circu-lation must be presented. Next mere geo-graphical distance will not decide the 1 regis-ter's action. Whatever newspaper he deter-mines upon "as the nearest," all thingsconsidered, is the one in which the noticewill appear. : , '

. '\u0084 .The Sloe Murder and Suicide.The Grand Forks Herald has these partic-

ulars of the bloody affair noted by telegraph:The atrocious murder ofMrs. Moe was last

night supplemented by another horror, infront of Deputy Sheriff Crane's place, twomiles south of Arvilla, by the suicide of Moe,who while Sheriff Jcnks was in the act ofgetting out of the wagon, snatched his revol-ver from his hip pocket and shot himself inthe forehead, causing instant death. . Moehad been captured about fifteen minutes be-fore Sheriff Jenks and Dr. Rounvells arrivedat the orphaned home in Llnd. He had wan-dered three days on the prairie after killinghis wife and said he knew he would be

hanged and concluded to come in and sur-render. The people who were watching thebody saw him come through the pasture op-posite the branch, and had difficulty v cap-turing him. Soon after he was secured thesheriff came, and the body of the woman andMoe were taken over to Northwood, wherean inquest was held. Moe gave an accountofthe deed. He said that he talked the kill-ing over with his wife and they were each tokill the other. She refused, however, andstood up in front of him and he used a razorto cut her throat. The razor withblood on it was found on Moe. Afterhe had killed her he covered heramong the willows, put the children to bedand raised the signal. The children did notrecognize him on account of his disguise.The verdict was rendered accordingly andthe citizens interred the remains of the de-ceased woman and took charge of tho chil-dren. The sheriff and Dr. Rounsvell thentook Moe and brought him to Larimorc, andthence to Deputy Sheriff Crane's farm abouttwo miles south of Arvilla. Dr. Rounsvelland Sheriff Jenks occupied the fron tseat and

i Moe the hind seat with one arm in the handof the sheriff. He seemed to be very quietand thoughtful, raising his hand to his headas if in deep meditation. The sheriff appre-hended no trouble and when they halted atCrane's, the sheriff got up and jumped down.As he arose he felt a tugging at his side butsupposed the doctor bad been- sitting on hiscoat. He had just alit, however, when hewas startled by a pistol report and turningquickly, put his hand on his hip and bis pis-tol was gone. At the same Instant the teamstarted and Moe fell forward into the sheriff'sarms without a groan, he having seize 1 thepistol and shot himself in the forehead. ' Heexpired instantly, and in falling, his leg gotinto the wheel but was disengaged by thesheriff. The dead murderer was left there"and the sheriff came in last night to take thecoroner out, who held an inqneat on the bodyto-day."

;'• Sir. Ay*rit% Opinion of Dakota.\u25a0 The Grand Forks Herald is probably misin-formed about Mr. Ayers owning the railroadhe built mainly, which is now a part of theWabasb system, but most Ulinoisans know

of him, and will be interested in this state-ment of his impressions of Dakota:

,• . "M.. A. Aycrs, -of Jacksonville, 111. . hasbeen vvisiting Mr. Tbos. Booth on the ElkValley farm the past week. Mr. Ayers is theoldest banker in the state of Illinois,and' oneof the wealthiest men as well. He has built,owns and : controls a paying railroad in Illi-nois, and is a keen business man in every

\u25a0sense of the word. Mr. Avers was very muchpleased with Dakota \u25a0 and the Elk valley es-pecially. It beats anything he ever saw be-fore and in his judgment wrs destined to be-come even greater. il=said if \ lie was only

fifty years old he would build . railroads allover north Dakota for the purpose of carry- >ing off the wheat. The acres on acres ofwheat to be seen from any point in the val- 'ley was a revelation to him, and the fact thatDakota would export as much wheat as Illi-,nois seemed almost impossible, when onlyfour years ago Dakota was unknown while |the state of Illinois has been developed forthese many years. Mr. Ayers predicts greatresults for north Dakota."

What the Assessment Holla Show.Last year north Dakota was ahead on th«

valuation of the assessors. The footingswere :North Dakota '. . .$37,000,810South Dakota 32,147,779giving a margin to the north of 84,859,011.This year the figures just completed show:North Dakota «39,460,221.02South Dakota 44,595,362.31putting south Dakota ahead 15,134,141.29.The largest figures for any county are forCass, in the north, 16,736,882. The next isLawrence, in the Black Hills, 4,034,105.There are forty-two counties returned in thesouth and twenty-lour in the north. The northshows the healthy increase of about two anda half millions and the south over twelvemillions. A few counties show decrease,like Grand Forks in the north and Clay andDavison in the south, and Custer in theBlack Hills. The greatest gains have beenin the new counties in the central region,which have been settled almost entirelywithin the past four years. The fact is evi-dent that the counties south of the 46th par-allel have gained a great majority of the em-igration the past two years. This has beenpartly due to the superior inducements of-fered and extension ofrailroads in the southand center, but probably still more to theimpression that production in the north ischiefly restricted to one crop. The northneeds greater diversity in crops and morestock, for which it is well adapted, and whichit is going into more. There is now verylittle good land south cf the 46th parallel andeast of the Missouri river not entered, andthose who wish to make claims must gonorth or west. One curious incident is thatBurleigh county, with its new capitol, fallsback §233,724, while Yankton goes ahead$159,000.

' Tito Delegate Question.The Howard Farmer expresses about the

run ofsentiment in the south on the dele-gate matter in this: "Of the 1380 delegatesto seats in the convention south Dakota has250. Should the Black Hills counties-Lawrence, Pennington and Custer —whichtogether will have a representation of thirty-one in the convention, be gobbled up bynorth Dakota —a transaction not at allprobable that portion of the territory southof the 46th parallel will still have a majority.Let the most available man in south Dakotabe put in nomination ' for delegate to con-gress and all pull together, and the northDakota 'bosses' will go home with a flea inboth ears. The 'row counties' have playedsecond fiddle to 'No. 1 hard' about longenough. Let south Dakota send delegatesto the Pierre convention who are loyal to herand all will be well." The Jim River Journalin Dickey county, strongly supports Hon. C.G. Williams for delegate, and says of him:"While representing the Jauesville, Wiscon-sin, district in congress, he was consideredan orator to have only one equal in the west,the brilliant and lamented Senator Carpen-ter. He enjoys the intimate acquaintanceand friendship of all snch men as James G.Blame, John A. Logan, Thomas A. Hen-dricks, and all our present leaders in con-gress. With such a man representing Da-kota in the halls of congress, we believe shewould be felt, and her interests alwaysheeded." He would be a great contrast tothe present member, who is said to be unableto make a speech. Some think the repre-sentative of 400,000 people should be able totalk on his feet. .',. ; ,

HOW HE WAS RECEIVED.

The Decree of Enthusiasm With

"Which Butler Was Received Byau Audience of Workiueriueu.

ISpecial Telegram to the Globe. |CnicAGO, Sept. 3.—About 3,000 people as.

seiublcd in Battery D armory last evening toparticipate in the Butler reception, and to hearwhat that much nominated gentleman wouldhave to say. The committee of arrangementsblundered uupardouably in not securing accom-modations for at least half the audience, and infailing to take timely steps for the preservation

of order. A hundred and fifty chairs in thecenter of the large hall were speedily

utilized and around them hundreds of peoplecrowded, all trying to sqeeze through to thefront. Inthe vicinityof the speaker's stand thejamwas suffocating in the extreme, and it wasalmost impossible for even Gen. Butler himselfto make his way through it to the platform.

The number of ladies present did not exceed twodozen, and it was just as well, as the pleasure ofhearing the speech of the evening could hardlycompensate them for the discomfort and annoy-ance from whlce there was no escape. The ar-mory was poorly ventilated and the heavy im-pure air made respiration difficult and sorelydiscouraged the standing collar. At no timeduring the evening could perfect quiet be ob-tained, the men and boys on the outside con-tributing a? much as possible to the inconveni-ence which the speaker VIIput to in addressingsuch an ill-arranged meeting.

In response to occasional cries of "louder"'the general told the criers that he was doing hisbest, and that if every man present would keepquiet there would be no difficulty in hearing.Strictly speaking itcould not be called an enthu-siastic crowd. .The applause was frequent andvery hearty, but the enthusiasmnever went beyond the clapping olhands, with the usual shout of approbation fromindividuals. A turbulent character just north olthe platform made himself conspicuous by mak-ing remarks in reply to the pointed observa-tions of the speaker. These unmannerly inter-ruptions wen always followed by cries of "puthim out" from all parts of the hall, which ofcourse only added to the general confusion. Fi-nally Gen. Butler lost his patience, and stampinghis foot and shaking ' his fist at thecrowd be commanded silence, then pointing outthe fellow who was the cause of the disturbanceho shouted: "And you, fir: you had betterkeep quiet, or when I'm president I won't par-don you out of the state's prison." This broughtdown the house, and the "smart aleck" was notheart from again. The crowd was composeualmost exclusively of the labor element.

Not Considered.Madison', VTis., Sept. 3.— The committee ap-

pointed by the board of university regents toconsider the charges that President Bascom wasmeddling with politics too much and neglectinghis duties made a report to the board to-day.The committee stales that it has been unable toget a quorum together for the meeting, and thecharges are returned without recommendation.
