The people out on the Sioux Falls
branch are agitating the question of Sc
curing daily through train from St.
Paul, leaving the latter place early in
the morning. This would be q good
scheme, and would give us the Pioneer
Press about 10 o'clock in the morning.
AS it is, people have to stay at Worth
ington from six to eight hours going
either way on that branch.-Mankato

Il WoRT11INGToN MAN IN TROUBLE.
The Mankato Review OF the 18th,
says:
Night Waterman Mcdonald captured
an ugly customer on Wednesday last.
a man who gave his name as Rose,
but whose real name is Josiah Lyons,
entered the house Of a Mrs. Weaver,
on Fourth street rear st. Paul depot,
and asked for something to eat, Which
was given him. Afterwards he made
improper proposals to the woman, and
by taking her babe into a bed room,
tried to force her to follow him. Word
was sent to the police, and officer Nc
Donald being at the City Hall, respond
ed to the call. He found the man. ar
rested him, and he accompanied the Of
ticer peaceably until reaching the vicin-
ity of the Union school house, when he
refused to go farther and a scntfle en-
sued. Finally the officer got the adj
vantage. when the man promised to go
along quietly, but as soon us he got up,
he renewed the attack, and in the scuf
tie which ensueu he bit McDonald's
thumb pretty severely. Chief Robin
son came to the officers assistance. and
though the man fought desperately, he
WIS finally overcome and taken to, Jail.
Here he made further resistance and in
the struggle bit officer Mcdonald on
the knee. tearing his pants and draw
ers, and inflicting an ugly wound. A
prisoner from Martin county took eX-
ceptions to the manner in which Lyons
was being handled and threatened the
officers. but he was soon quoted. Ly-
ons was brought before Justice John
son on Thursday but his case was adj
iourned until Saturday. lie claims to
hail from WOrthingt0n, was down here
harvesting and came TO town to enjoy
Il spree. It seems that he was ac-
quainted with Mrs. Weaver. who is al
so from Worthington, and lie was
drunk when he went to her house.
Lyons friends here say that Mrs.
Weaver was owing him sum Of mon
ey and that he went to collect it. which
led to the difficulty. We shall await
the result of Saturdays trial for more
facts.
The first Minnesota Editorial exc'r-
sion assumed shape yesterday. The
morning trains brought in It few, and
the noon and afternoon trains added to
their number until 10y the time the BAN
u,let hour arrived there were * editors
and Is ladies. It is to be regretted
that a larger number were not accom-
panied by their wives. If it had been
generally understood. that ladies' were
welcome there wo, Id doub less have
been Il larger number present, and the
''next time' the wives will, perhaps, be
almost as numerous as the husbands.
1t is Il little innovation on the general
run of excursions, it is true, but it is =
good one.-St. Paul Globe.
If all the editors had done as we'll rs
the editor of the ADVANCE did there
would have been no cause for regret on
that score. We knew ''them" girls
would sveeten up the excursion. Take
the ladies along by all means. Give us
cream and sugar in our coffee.

We are satisfied the ''stick' is de.
