at which time one person united with the church.
THE Band of Hope gave an entertainment at
the academy hall on Wednesday evening The
exercises were very interesting, and were arranged
by Mrs. W. S. Cheney and Mrs F. X Geed.
These ladies have the organization in charge, and
spare pains to interest the young folks. The
quiet of the village was disturbed on Sunday
night at about eleven o'clock by the cry Of fire
and the ringing of the fire alarm The engine
and hook and ladder companies were soon on
hand and found the fire to be the house and barn
OF Joseph Laraway, below High street The
flames, which took from a defective stoveppe and
chimney, spread very rapidly throughout the
buildings; by hard work and use of our squirt
gun, AS it is called, the adjoining buildings were
saved. Nearly everything was removed from the
house excepting in the upper story, The loss is
mostly covered by insurance. The reform club
met at the chapel on Saturday evening. The ex-
ercises for the evening were very interesting The
topic, Is Alcohol Poison was discussed by Rev.

Arrest of a Thief.

Last fall John Brown, at present a United
States employe, boarded near the Seven Cor
ners. One night his room was entered while he
was asleep and he was robbed of watch and
gold chain valued at $50, $35 in money, and
was fairly stripped of his clothing. From that
November night until yesterday he had no
trace of his property or the thief. But yester-
day he recovered his property and the thief
vas arrested. The arrest came about in this
way: At the time of the robbery description
OF the watch was left with the police, and by
the police authorities given to the pawnbrok-
ers with the caution to look ont. A day or
two ago word came to Chief Weber that the
watch was in the hands of a Jackson street
pawnbroker. Brown was summoned
and identified the watch. A description
of the man who pawned it was obtained, and
resulted yesterday in the capture of Mat Rich
ardsOn by Capt. CLARK. Richardson was found
to be boarding at the Montreal house, on Min
nesota street. he was arrested and his baggage
searched. The stolen chain was found in his
trunk also Browns clothing and pawn ticket
for the watch. Richardson is u lAboring man,
and has been at work ON the Davidson block,
burnt down at the corner of Fourth and Jack
son streets. ThereSwere found among his pos
sessions a whole lot of articles which he had
evidently picked up from the fire debris, but
they are of no particular value. He was ar
raigned before Judge Flint later in the day and
held to the grand jury in $500, in default of
which he was sent to jail.

In cities but q few are

in their character. In cities but a few are
artisans and yet fewer laborers. They pre-
fer to serve the whites in the capacity of
walters, BARRIERS and coachmen. Their
wives do washing and ironing, but the men
seldom or never enter an occupation that in
wolves actual physical labor. This is to be
regretted for the sake of the race. In Kan
sas especially it will be found to entail great
suffering upon them, and will prove posi-
tive injury to the State.
There are in Kansas millions of acres of
arabic land upon which the colored emf
grants can settle and in the course of a few
years make for themselves and their families
comfortable and permanent homes and
substantial if not luxuriant livelihood. BY
entering under the homestead act quarter
section of land and cultivating it with intel
ligence and care, enough can be produced
in single year to keep large family above
want for the two succeeding years. In the
course of five years the occupant can be in
dependent in all things, have we'll stored
granary, plenty of good clothing, cattle,
horses and domestic animals in abundance,
besides cash balance in the bank. If they
crowd the cities, however, they must be con-
tent with occasional employment at starva-
ton wages, and at the end of the year they
will be no better off than at the beginning
There is no doubt but the colored
emigration to Kansas has already diverted
the white emigration to large extent. The
prejudice against colored people is still
strong among a large portion of
the people of the North. A South
ern man has no objections to living
side by side with negro; Northern man,
through lack of familiarity with the race,
shuns contact with him. He pirates of social
and civil equality, but wants that equality
to be established with others, not himself
1t is very evident that large number of
the colored emigrants to Kansas, finding
that they cannot live there without exertion,
will return to their old homes at the South.
Indeed, the ebb of the tide has be-
gun, and already several hundreds have start
ed back to the plantations which they desert
ed last year. The rigors of Kansas winter
have cooled their ardor for Northern home,
and the prospect of harder work at the North
with no better pay is not an encouraging
one. The exodus, in our opinion, is one of
those matters that will speedily settle itself.

SENATOR BRUCE asks for an appropriation
Of two million dollars to pay the depositors
in the Freedmen's bank who were defrauded
out of their money by the managers of that
institution. He claims that the cover nment
is legally liable for the amount, and We are
not disposed to dispute the claim, for we be-
lieve it is based more than half in justice.
But if the government is to pay the amount
it ought to punish its agents who managed
to steal the money of the freedmen. If it
assumes the monetary responsibilities it
ought to see that the gilt-edged robbers for
whom it becomes liable shall expiate their
sins behind prison bars for few years. No
more shameless robbery has ever been per-
petrated in this country than the robbery of
the confding blacks by means of the Freed
mems savings bank, an institution chartered

WORLD OF WHEELS.
Preparations for the Extension of the

Dakota Extensions.

During the last two weeks the Chicago, Mil
waukee Il st. Paul company has been forward
ing ties to Ortonville, for the extension of the
Hastings & Dakota division. From the Sisseton
reservation being in the way of westward ex-
tension into Dakota, while pending projects of
railroad building further south, in which the
same company is interested require or will take
more room than a westward extension of the
Fl. & d. would allow, it is more than probable
that the H. & d. will be built at the east
shore of Big Stone Lake to
Browns valley. This will
lay hold upon very rich belt of territory, east
of Big Stone lake, which will have no other
railroad facilities, and which Is being taken up,
mostly, by thrifty class of settlers. The
further extension of the road beyond Browns
Valley, being as yet matter of uncertainty,
may he presumed to depend upon a division OF
territory, yet to be made, between the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul company and the ST.
Paul 4 Manitoba company, the latter OF which
will also build to Browns Valley this season,
from its Breckenridge line. Something, also,
it may be presumed, will depend upon the sue
cess of pending negotiations for the building
of the Little Falls Il Dakota railroad, which
will cross the State line at Browns Valley.
And az to that, the GLOBE would be only pre-
mature if it should assert that the building OF
the Little Falls & Dakota will be begun before
independence day. aud will be well on the way
to completion before the December snow falls.
The track layers on the Black Hills branch of
the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway, &C
cordiug to dispatch of Monday evening from
Sioux City, have reached the James river and
have to wait ten days for the bridge builders.
Beyond the James river there is no grading and
no demonstration towards Immediately prose
cutting the further building of the road. Ac
cording to the information of the GLOBE, the
line of the road and the time of building be-
yond James river depends upon the result Of
negotiations pending between the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul company and the Chica-
go & Northwestern company. These negotia-
tions are based upon the theory that the Black
Hills business, for many years to come, will
not be enough to divide between two roads,
and that the interests of the two companies
will best be served by uniting at one crossing
of the Missouri and running single track
from thence into the Black Hills. That
will make point on the Mis-
souri, we'll worth looking after, but
our dearly beloved friends outside who are
ready for specuations in town sites will under
stand that the railroad magnates will have all
| the points-for which we advise them to apply
| to Merrill and Hughitt.

Tho Brute Who Attempted to Outrage a
Little Girl Sent to Jail.

In the sight of heaven and according to the
eternal fitness of things there are a few Crimes
SO diabolically fendish in their nature, that
can only be punished by the bolt of swift and
summary humiliation. According to the testi-
mony adduced at the municipal court yester-
day morning, the sooner rank natures like
that of James Kelley, alias @. d. Loring, gets
buried from the sight of honest people the
better.
The prisoner was arrested Monday afternoon
on the charge of taking improper liberties with
a 7-yeaI-old girl named Hattie Drake.
About 35 years of age, small In stature, with
slight, wiry form, iron grey hair, bilious COM
plexion, sinister looking, feline eyes, he ap-
peared in court dressed in new suit of cheap
wooden clothing, such as convicts receive on
leaving the penitentiary.
During the fire on Fourth street about l
o'clock Monday afternoon the child was ap-
preached by the prisoner. who invited her to
accompany him to a store, where he would pur-
chase candy and peanuts.
The tempting bait was successful. and the
child started off in company with the brute
They proceeded in the direction of Sixth and
Minnesota streets, and, upon approaching the
lumber yard in that vicinity, the prisoner re-
quested her to state, in case of inquiry, that
she was with her "Uncle Charlie" His hell
ish design was attempted at Sixth and Mime
sofa, where he was discovered by Mr.. Samuel
Potter. with the child ON his knee.
MIR. Potter suspected something wrong and
went in quest of policeman. In the mean
time the prisoner had taken his victim to the
lumber yard on the next corner, Seventh street,
where he was discovered in a very suspicious
attitude by Officer Gibbons and Mr.. Potter, who
being convinced of his purpose placed him I'M
der arrest.
The child, sweet girl of seven summers,
| was put on the stand. Upon being questioned
by her father she related the villains actions
modified in the above statement.
Officer Gibbons and Mr.. Potter testified to the
discovery and arrest, and upon taking the
stand the prisoner stated that he had not left
the sidewalk with the child, and intended only
| to accompany her to school. Without hesitat
ing the court alluded to the heinous nature OF
the attempt and the prisoner was held to the
grand jury in bonds of $500 and committed.

The lookout in Keservs To,cnshtp.

short time after destruction of the old
lookout on Smelling avenue, last summer, a
meeting was held in the town hall in Reserve
town, for the purpose of taking necessary
steps towards the rebuilding of the said
lookout. An association, with Messrs. VIM.
WEIGH, as president, Adam Bohland, secre-
tary, and Peter Bohland, treasurer, was or
gauized and q committee for collecting
money by the way of subscription was ap
pointed by the president. Subscription lists
we're left at the several newspaper Offices in
ST. Paul also. The amount subscribed and
paid up to date is about $50. The town of
Reserve at the last annual town meeting,
has appropriated $780, and the value of the
old lumber being about 800, will make a
total of S120 on hand. The old lookout
cost about $40. Taking in consideration
that building material and labor have since
advanced in price, that the old lookout was
merely rough structure, and that it is the
intention to erect a substantial and orna-
mental building; then will it be readily seen
that at least 800 more is required to assure
success. We therefore appeal to the liberal
ity of the citizens of st. Paul, and especial
ly to those who have frequently visited the
old lookout, for further aid. Tho COM

PHASE OF THE EXODUS.

The testimony of John Davis, Kansas
editor, before the Senate exodus committee
on Monday last, presents phase of the col
ored exodus from the South to that State
that has been overlooked by nearly all those
who have discussed the subject. He said
there was one discouraging feature of the
movement which was not anticipated, and
that is that the negroes do not want to 90
into the country to work, but show a DISPOSE
ton to congregate in the cities and towns.
This had cooled the ardor of many who at
first felt disposed to assist the negroes, and
some prominent men who we're then in fa-
vor of the movement now oppose it. The
general impression prevailing now among
many people is that the negro exodus, if
continued, will tend to divert the tide of
white emigration from Kansas, and in this
respect it is considered a damage to the
State.
There is no doubt much of truth in these
statements of Mr.. Davis. Instances in
which the negroes at the North undertake to
build up homes for themselves in the coun-
try are exceedingly rare, although the op-
portunities for doing so are unusually favor
able. They flock to all the large cities and
towns, where they seek employment st the
lighter occupations which require little phys
ical exertloD, even though they are mental

Hit With a Rock.

When two representatives of the green isle
and the fatherland become ingloriously drunk
and then attempt to discuss affairs of country
something is quite liable to happen. At least
such was the case night before last at Ia,
Hotel to the Wild Hunter when drunken
Irishman named James Carr aud an inebriated
Dutchman named John Schmidt lamentably
failed in convincing each other of the super
iority of their respective countries, and it was
decided to settle the matter by fight.
They repaired to the rear OF the house to
have it out and during the row Schmidt picked
up rock and hit his adversary on the head,
which sent the latter to grass instanter. After
this exhibition of foul play Schmidt retired to
the bar room aid commenced to crow over the
victory. Carr finally picked himself
up and came back covered with defeat and
blood. Schmidt asked him if he wanted any
more and he said he didn't. An officer came
along about this time and took both pugilists
to the station.
Yesterday morning they were at the police
court and the facts were developed as stated.
Carr was fined 50 and discharged, his adversary
being fined $40, which wasn't half what he de-
served for his brutality.

OF all the demagoguery and clap trap

the most transparent is the opposition to
the extension of the Northern Pacific land
grant. Here is great national enterprise
which is making section of the country &C.
cessible, when but for that or similar enter
prise it would remain for centuries an. un-
inhabited region. 1t opens to settlement
lands which would remain unoccupied for
ever unless some means was provided for
reaching them. The lands are absolutely
worthless without the railroad, and still the
demagogues talk about wasting the national
domain if they give any lands which are
worthless and make them and all that sur
round them valuable,
