4 journalistic Detectire.

Mr. John A. Ray, Of Bismarck, "the Be-
hemian of the North,'' arrived in this CITY
yesterday from Yarkton, D. t., where he
has been for the past month in attendance
upon the session of tina United States court.
Mr.. Ray is a journalist at large in the New
Northwest, and in pursuit of legitimate in
telligence with which to supply his num-
erous patrons, struck nest of corruption
among the Indian agencies west of the Mis-
souri, and ''wrote 'em up.'' A brief inter
view with this tireless newspa-
Per man convinced the GLOBE that
MIR. Ray was remarkably fortunate
to escape from the meshes of the Indian
ring at Yankton without the dissertation of
his scalp. He was summoned to testify as
to what he knew about the corruption exist
ing among the Indian agencies, and opened
up his ''little memorandum book" to such
good effect that he was not allowed to mix
in good society out there at the wicked
capital of Dakota. False vouchers, per-
sistent swindles, continuous non-fulfllment
of contracts were only small part of the
nastiness unearthed and exposed by Mr..
Ray. He told it all to the grand jury, and
indictments followed, as the blood of guilt
always follows the merciless knife of reform.
Mr.. Ray leaves for Bismarck this morn
ing, and will at once recommence his inyes-
tlgations-not as the paid agent of the gov
eminent, but as the self sacrificing searcher
after honest government, and in the interests
of modern enterprising journalism.

The Streets of Ne,v TorI;.

This charming and hugely fascinating
play was produced for the second time last
evening at the metropolitan theater, and it
was greeted, as it deserved to be, by large
and intelligent audience. The scenic accom-
paniments were very fine and a credit to the
artist, the finest being a lighted street car
passing along the street, a fire engine and
company in operation, a building in flames,
and snow-storm. The piece is intensely
dramatic in character and gives ample OPP
portunity for fine acting, and the company
etfectually demonstrated that it was not slow
to appreciate the advantages that it present.

Mr.. Chas Theodores personation was
very good, and though called upon in the
course of the play to represent two entirely
different characters, he acquitted himself
creditably in BOTH Mr.. Bryton was at his
best last night, and his representation of the
shrewd bankers clerk, and subsequently of
the returned California outlaw, were excel
lent, the latter being the finest bit of acting
of the evening.
Mr. Irving in his role Of Dan Puffy, as
porter and fireman, was immense, and elicit
ed well deserved applause. Mr.. Hor-
toms PRESERVATION of the scheming hard
hearted banker Was a fine one, though the
part was very difficult one to sustain, both
on account of it's being very conspicuous
and also very repulsive. The ASSIGNMENT of
the part OF Mrs. Puffy to Mrs. Irving was a
very happy one, and she brought it out WE'LL

but her presentation of it was none the less

THE FAIR PREMIUMS.

Not P0sd Yesterday Because of u Litt{.
Hitch Mr.. Stale Says Theg YiA BE Paic
TO-Day-- People IYttgt Claims Can No,c
Present Them.
The GLOBE man visited the First National
bank yesterday to learn definitely whethe,
the managers of the Northwestern Mechan-
ical and Agricultural association were in
deed paying their premiums in full. Mr.
Side, president of the bank, met US smilin z
~, and pleasantly assured US that the associ-
ton had not yet determined to commence
paying in full, but certainly by to day all
the arrangements would be completed, an6
there was no possible doubt that the money
would begin to pass over the counter and
into the itching palms of tho merable
creditors.
Certainly this was cheering intelligence,
coming, as it did, from one of the clearest
headed and most thorough business mon in
Minneapolis. The fact that similar promises
have been mado for the past three months
had no weight, as they had not been given
by party so thoroughly and entirely re.
sponsible as Mr.. j. X. Side. When Mr..
Sidlestates fact he usually has groundwork
for the statement, particularly on matter
bearing on finances.
The GLOBE man could not find Col. King
who was out attending to some minor de-
tails of the matter; but then Col. Kings
word could add no weight to that of Mr.. J..
K. Side, who positively assured the GLOBE
representative. that all claims and demands
against the association would DO positively
paid to-day friday, the 18th day of De-
cember, in the year of our Lord eighteen
hundred and seventy-eight.
People with claims that have been audited
can to-day present them at the counter of the
First National bank of Minneapolis and re-
ceive the money which is due them.

consumption.
Mr.. Conkey at the time of his death was
only % years old. He came to Minnesota
eleven years ago, bright, rosy-faced boy,
and grew to maturity here. at the age of
Is he became the book-keeper of the daily
Tribune establishment, in which capacity he
won the respect and esteem of all who
were brought into social and business rela-
tons with him. Three years ago his health
began to fail, and after fighting the insldious
approach of the grim monster for some
months, he, together with his young wife,
visited Colorado in the hope of restoration
to health. But all without avail. He re-
turned to Minnesota some months ago, and
gradually failed, until death put an end to
his sufferings, as announced above.
Mr. Conkey was young man of fine bus
mess ability, genial and pleasant in his inter-
course with men, and his early death will be
keenly felt by the many friends who knew
and appreciated his manly worth.

THE NAIAD QUEEN.

THAT 1t Costs to Present tho beautiful
Spectacle in 1finneapo lis--Facts and

The GLoRE reporter, ever ready to crafty
public curiosity, knowing that speculation
has been rife as regards the cost of placing
such an elaborate affair as the Naiad Queen
upon the boards here, has taken pains to
obtain some facts in the case, and they are
herewith presented to our readers.
The transportation of the vast amount of
scenery, costumes, machinery, parapher-
MALTA, tableau fixtures and illustrative appar-
atus used IN the opera, from st. Louis, Mo-,
by freight and express, including drayage
there and here, cost $685. Salaries Of

Hall rents, gas, fuel, janitors' services and

Academy expenses for the week, including
the large force of stage men,
ushers, door-keepers, room attend
ants janitors, watchmen, ETC., employed,
$539.5O. Cost of advertising, including
illuminated posters, programmes, fancy hang
ers, coupon tickets, newspaper ADVERTISE
ments and bill posting, 1921. Services of
orchestra, including transportation of those
from abroad, piano tuning and rearranging
music, $115. Lumber used in preparing

per pound, $43.75. Storm chemicals, 1926.
This foots up in the aggregate, $2,296.92,

and scenery, materials furnished large

time and services of Mr.. Mcknight, the

he did not realize what he was doing when
he gave the order for the manufacture OF
the operas effects-which cost in gold, in
France, 1924, 60O-and that he simply con-
tinues to produce it, in the two cities yearly,
with hope of finding some person to sell
to at a sacrifice, knowing that if this vast
amount of material is packed and stored
away it will but be forgotten and go to ruin
and decay.

On motion of Mr.. Glenn the report of the
special committee, presented at the morning
session, was adopted.
The committee on poor farm made the
following report, which was adopted:
! The Board of County Commissioners:
GEN1LEMEN-Your committee on poor
farm, to whom was referred the report of ex-
Overseer Lockwood, together with his claims
for salary, respectfully report:
flrst-Ihat the amount claimed by him is
proper and should be paid, provided his &C
counts are correct and county property prop
erly accounted for.
Second-That sundry head of cattle in
Lockwood's keeping March 1, 1873, have not
been turned over to his successor or &C
counted for.
Third-That the burning of the poor farm
buildings with contents makes it impossible
to ascertain whether or not there is any other
serious shortage.
Your committee recommend that the sub
ject matter be referred to the county attor-
| ney for such action as he may deem proper,
and that no further payments be made to
Mr.. Lockwood until the county attorney
shall 30 advise.

III. WILSON,

On motion OF Mr.. Glenn the county attor-
ney was requested to give his opinion upon
the questions in the two reports of the spe-
cial committees.
An appropriation of 800 was made to
pay for wood used in the jail and probate
court. There being no farther business the
commissioners adjourned until Dec. 5.
AS Mr.. Lockwood claims to have bought
the books i'll which he kept the accounts of
the farm, at his own expense, and refuses to
deliver them up until he is paid, it makes
the matter of settlement rather awkward for
the commissioners.
