The HanlOn.COurtney Race.

MONTREAL, October 4. Edward b. Rankin,
who yesterday acted as judge for Courtney. has
published y letter in which he says:
81 venture the Judgment now that Courtney Is
the better and more enduring sculler of the Two.
That despite the roughness of the water he sue
ceeded, whenever he made the ehjrt, ia closing
with Haplon, aud that ut the finish he outrow.d
the Toronto man, and lost the race by cessing to
pull al erica moment, when nearing the goal.
Had he continued ro~iug aud hauled Out into the
course instead of res ing on his OATS, the race

Fire and stobbing at lnoo,head.

Fargo LILIES, JAN 20.
About 10 o'clock last Wednesday morning
smoke was seen issuing from the stables of
j. E. Davis, at Moorhead, and upon opening
the doors the whole interior was found to be
in flames, and in very few minutes the
building was burned to the ground. When
the fire broke out, there were twenty nine
head of cattle and one horse in the stable,
and every one of them persisted in the
flames. The origin Of the fire is not known,
but is supposed to have resulted from smok-
ing. Mr.. Davis estimates his loss at ST. 200,
which falls particularly hard upon him, as
the cattle were all the property he had, and
nineteen of them were mich COWS, upon
which he depended for living.
The fire had an unfortunate sequel in an
other way, also. G. A, Hendricks attempted
to take some of the meat of the roasted cat
tie to feed to his chickens, when w. J. Bod
kin (who professed to be in charge of the
property refused to let him have it. High
words and fight ensued, in which Bodkin
was stabbed three times with butcher
knife by Hendricks. The wounds are seri-
GUS but not fatal, and last night Bodkin was
doing well, Hendricks was not arrested,
and we understand that Bodkin declines to
prosecute.

Of q meeting of the farmers at school house No.
ro i, the town Of Danielson, Meeker county,
~ tho o5tb inst. Previous notice had been
,;ven and the meeting was largely attended,
fhere beiue exactly forty-eight farmers pres
ont Each reported the section in which he
lived the area of land sown by him to wheat
last spring, the number of bushels raised there
from. the number Of acres he proposes to SOW
next spring and the number OF bushels OF SEED
wheat needed therefor and which, If furnished
at all. will have to be supplied by the State.
The total number of acres sown last season
by the 48 persons who attended the meeting
was 1,6C5, and the total number of bushels
reaped was 1,545-less than one bushel to the
acre. OF the as persons present, eighteen, who
planted total of 800 acres did not reap sin
gle bushel-their crops being wholly and total
ly destroyed. Fourteen others who sowed 392
acres, realized only 81 bushels. Here, then, are
80 persons who sowed 982 acres to wheat,
and reaped only 81 bushels therefrom. One
other got 2 bushels to the acre, second rs, a
third 1-5, and fourth %. One man only
yield of the whole 48.
For the coming season these farmers pro
pose to increase their acreage some
what, and from the data handed in by each
man at the meeting, it appears that the IN
crease proposed over last year will be just 26f
acres But to enable them to do this, as aP-
pears from the same estimates the State will
have to furnish them at least 1,6ll bushels
of wheat, without which, it is
asserted, they will be compelled to let their
lands lie idle. Nearly all of those who attend
ed the meeting it is stated upon the certificate
of the town clerk, have mortgages on all their
property both real and personal, and in this
condition it is utterly impossible to expect
them, without unreasonable sacrifice, to fur.
nish the necessary seed grain for sowing theil
lands.
In this emergency they ask the State to as
sist them, and in case the requisite aid is fur
nished, they are willing to enter into and abide
by all the requirements that may be deemed
necessary to insure repayment to the State, tt
the end that nothing be lost thereby. The ne
cessity of State aid, under the peculiar circum
stances, is conceded by all, and the only ques
ton now before the committee of the tw'
Houses is, how it can best be furnished with
due regard to the protection of the public in
terests. Upon this point the committee will
arrive at definite conclusion in few days, a
the main outlines of a bill for this purpose are
it is understood, already agreed upon.

''Mars' letter in Tuesdays Dispatch, on

surely it will not do to cure one disease, by
starting one still worse. If Mr.. McKibbin's
ideas were carried out to the letter, not a
young woman, married or single, or indeed
for the matter of that, old ones either, who
would be free from insult. No female
could walk out of doors at any hour unpro-
tected. To talk of stopping an evil that we
are told in the Bible has existed since the
very earliest days, is simply impossible

Charlotte Thompson as Miss Mutton.


Another large audience greeted Miss
Thompson last night. In "Miss Mutton"
she is equally as successful as in ''Jane Eyre
and in some of the situations she is infinitely
greater. It is to be regretted that space will
not admit of an extended criticism of this
most powerful delineator of the strong emo
tons of the heart. It is "a pity Miss Thomp-
son is SO miserably supported. This does
not refer to Mr.. James Wallack, who was an
acceptable "Mons Bolin'' and Miss Eliza
Ederington who was charming Jeanne
and delivered her lines remarkably we'll and
with sweetly pretty voice. "Prof. Longworth''
was a failure, and MADAM De Latour'' was
but little better with her outlandish pronun-
citation. Not the least of her faults in this
respect is the substitution of the letter y for
wherever it occurs. Miss Thompson, how
ever, made amends for all shortcomings in
the others of the cast, and charmed the
house into enthusiasm. She was called before
the curtain after every act. This afternoon
she plays Jane Eyre, and this evening Miss
Mutton, when every one who has not seen
her in this wonderful role should certainly
not miss this last chance

A RACE WITH DEATH.
The Railroad Ride of a Husband to See HIS
Dying Wife.
From the Kansas City Times. |

..OvSnO sWVe.
From the Kansas City Times
One of the most remarkable trips on rec
ord has Just been made on the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, from Kansas
City to the Rocky Mountains. A rich gem
tleman named w. s. Dunn arrived in this
city from the East on Thursday morning, on
his way to visit his sick wife at Manitou
Springs, Col. On his arrival here he received
a telegram stating that his wife was at the
point of death, and that she could not live
many hours. The husband, who was mid
dle-aged man, evidently a merchant, seemed
to be much affected by the news, and at once
made inquiries for special train. He offer
ed large sum of money for a special engine
to run to Pueblo ahead of the regular train,
but could not obtain one here. He took
possession of the telegraph wires between
here and Topeka, the headquarters of
the road, and offered $3.50 for a
special locomotive to run at special
speed across the plains. His offer was
accepted, and at o'clock on Thursday after
noon the devoted husband started from To-
peka on his break-neck errand of love and
duty. Away went the locomotive and car,
with its solitary but sorrowing passenger,
over the prairies of Kaw valley, down into
the valley of the Neosho at Emporia, then
off again over the high divide between the
Neosho and the Arkansas valley, which was
reached before night had closed in. Then,
after taking water, the impatient husband
and his tireless iron horse started up the
great Arkansas valley to the base OF the
Rocky Mountains.
He reached Pueblo, Col, abont ~ O'Clock
on Friday morning, and then, only waiting
for a locomotive on the Denver and Rio
Grande marrow gauge to be got ready
started up to Manitou, a distance of fifty
miles. He reached Manitou, at the base Of
Pixies Peak, in time to see his
dying wife, and was well satisfied
with the result of his fast trip. The
fastest time made on the route was fifty
miles per hour, the average time abou
thirty five miles. It is the fastest time eve
made across the plains from the Mis- sour
river to the Rocky Mountains.

figh authority for Monday Morning
PJDerS.
duluth Tribune-Religious.1

An idiotic compositor in the Press Office,
named Bob Bryan, has quit work in that es-
Enlistment, not because he was required to
work on Sunday, for he was not-there be-
ing plenty of idle printers in St. Paul who
would be only too glad to take his place on
that day-but because the PIP. issues pa
per on Monday morning, which has to be
gotten up OIL Sunday and Sunday night.
Bryan publishes long harangue in the Dis
patch, announcing that he will never work
for nor read the PIP. until it shall cease it's
Monday editions, and he makes frantic APP
peal to the Christian people of the State to
sskeep these morning daily papers out of our
their houses and not allow their children to
be poisoned by reading them,' until the ed
itors "humble themselves before the Most
High and repent of defying his will, and I'M
til they stop the Monday editions We pre-
sumo that the religious fanatics throughout
the State will seize upon this new departure
of these two enterprising papers GLOBE and

prolonged howl, but we suspect that the more
and the louder they howl the better it will be
for the papers. In Chicago, and nearly all
the large Cities the leading morning journals
have for years issued paper every morning
in the week, and the church people in those
cities have got used to this custom, and as a
general thing think nothing of it.
