TIE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR.

The Public Exhibition of the Drill Corps
Last neutrality-suspicious. for the Ex-
cursson to Chicago.
The exhibition drill of the drill corps of
Damascus commandery -the last to be given
before their departure for the triennial con-
clave at Chicago-attracted large concourse
of citizens to Rice park and vicinity last even
ing. The Sir Knights, under command of
Eminent Sir D. A. Monfort. appeared to excel
lent advantage as they marched to the park in
full regalia. and their soldierly bearing was the
theme of all lips. After marching and coun-
ter-marching along the Washington, Fifth and
Market street fronts of the park, the corps was
trawn up on Washington street, where the
combined Great Western band, thirty
strong, discoursed excellent martial music
and the Sir Knights executed the various ma
neuvres of their tactics, including the sword
manual, in manner approaching
70 perfection. They were highly praised by
all present, more particularly for the excellent
manner in which the echelon movement, clos
ing with the formation of sacred cross, was
executed. One gentleman present was SO
pleased with the display that he wrote his
heck for $50, and presented it to the COM
nandery to assist in defraying the expenses of
the Chicago trip.
The last drill of this corps before their de-
partnre for Chicago will t.ke place at the rink
this afternoon at 4 o'clock. The baggage of all
those Sir Knights who intend to accompany
the commandery will be sent to the depot this
evening in time for the sos train. 1t will be
forwarded to Chicago in charge of two
trustworthy porters. and placed IN the rooms
at the Sherman house which have been assigned
TO the members, SO that when they
arrive on Monday morning they will find every
thing ready at hand. On Sunday afternoon at
o'clock sharp the commandry will assemble
at the asylum and thence march in full dress
to the depot OF the st. Paul & Omaha railroad,
and at 6 O'Clock the train, consisting of magni-
foent Pullman palace cars, will steam off to-
wards the great conclave which will be assem-
bled on the banks of Lake Michigan.
The Knights will be accompanied by the
consolidated Great Western band, consisting of
thirty-two pieces. A quartette was to have
accompanied the excursion, consisting of
Messrs Wood, Leib, Buckelew and DeLacy.
The death of the mother of Prof. Wood, yes
tsrday, has rendered his attendance impossible
but his place will probably be filled by some
other gentleman.
Many of the Knights will be accompanied by
their wives and daughters. The excursion
promises to be one of the most notable that has
ever left st. Paul.

a BIG TUMBLE.
A Boy Falls Twenty Feet at the Lower
Levee Elevator.

A Boy Falls Twenty Feet at the Lower
Levee Elevator.
A painful accident occurred about o'clock
yesterday afternoon which resulted in serious
injury to the twelve year old son of Mr.. Joseph
Ehrmanntrant, residing at No. 1877 East Sew
enth street. At the time named the lad ascend.
ed to the topof the Davidson elevator on the
lower levee, at the foot of Wacouta street,
his object being to catch pigeons.
The young adyenturer explored the top of the
elevator and becoming emboldened he attempt
ed to reach the ground by descending from the
roof next to the river. The roof of the build
ing slants at an angle of forty-fye degrees and
from the edge of the roof there is perpeudic-
ular height of twenty feet to the ground, which
is covered by railroad tracks.
On reaching the edge of the building the la
lost his balance and fell to the ground, landing
on a railroad track a few feet from the bank of
the river, into which he came near falling. He
was picked up by several men and found to be
very seriously injured. A conveyance was
procured and he was removed to the office of
Drs. Murphy and Quinn.
The physicians named examined the lad, and
his right arm was found to be broken, in addi.
ton to which his elbow and wrist were dislo-
Gated. 1t is feared that he has also sustained
internal injuries. He was removed to the resi-
dence Of his parents on Seventh street.

Those who imagine that the Presid entail

the Republican side are entirely mistaken.
No doubf the Republican party is greatly
broken. The discords ia it, aneieat ard

prevailing dissatisfaction tO7 ard the candidate
are fragrant aud notorious. Nevertheless. j.,
Novemoe the party will make a supreme
effort to retain possession of power.
What will chiefly give vitality snd energy te
this Effort is the desire of The c6cehoiders f."
keep their places. There are hundred thcY-
sand OF them, a. least, and every ono is hearty
unwilling to be deprived of public employ weit
and public pay.
In any republican system, the strength Of
the officehoiders is apt to be such AZ to make
il difficult TO defeat the party in power and
change the administration; an, II the peonle
ought to be sufficient for such q Difficult Y.
This time it is square contest between tho
people aud the oficeholders.

A New, Interesting and Valuable Patent.
The old settlers of St. Paul will rejoice to
hear of the good luck of our old fellow towns
man DR.. David Day. Those who know the
doctor well, will remember that he is an invent
i've genius, having made large number of
discoveriesfin sciencesand religion, some of
which he has never patented, but his last in
vention is of such general Importance to our
people and SO likely to be generally used
that he has decided to apply for
patent. he has already fled caveat and his
patent will be issued very soon. his invention
is movable lsidewalk easily adjusted to any
grade of any day N the year. Persons owning
property in st. Paul will have to take the
GLOBE, and before going to business each day
they can ascertain the grade for that day and
on arrival at their store or Office by simple
continuance the sidewalk can be
raised or lowered to correspond to the official
grade of the day. Without any further sde-
scription property owners will see at once that
the invention is just what is needed and will
order sidewalks as soon as the factory is in OPP
GRAFTON. DR.. Day proposes to manufacture a
large number this season, believing that they
will come into general use in our city. OF
course, he hardly expects to introduce them
into cities where grades are once established
and maintained, but only in cities where street
grades are changed at least once day.
Our people will rise up, as one man, and
thank the worthy inventor for this valuable
invention and will show their appreciation of
him and his patent by ordering the
patent adjustable sidewalk" at once. This
and will enable the good doctor to step down
and out without any serious inconvenience
when President Hancock asks him to give an
account of his stewardship.

How He Came to be an Iowa Land Own

How He Came to be an Iowa Land Owner,
Mr. William r. Close of LeMars, junior
member Of the somewhat famous and enter.
prising firm of Close Brothers, arrived here last
evening" and will be the guest for few days of
Mr.. J. 81. Drake, No. SO Grove street. Mr..
Close was captain of the Cambridge team of
1876, which made the best time ever witnessed
in the annual university races on the Thames,
from their beginning in 1929 until now. After
his graduation MIR. Close was employed in q
banking house in London. where he employed
an idle half-hour enc day in calculating the
such position as he was ambitious to occupy,
good fortune., through patient applica-
ton. reach place which would satisfy his
ambition in not less than twenty-five years.
The result of this conclusion was that he came
to America in search of better chance in life
At Atlantic City ne was impressed by dis
cription he heard of northwestern Iowa, as
land of promise devastated by locusts. "If the
locusts are there" he thought, there is the
place TO buy land cheap" He visited the
country and found it all he had been led to ex-
pect. His first investment was in buying Is, 600
acres of the Sioux City & st. Paul land grant.
He has now IL, 600 acres under cultivation on
shares by farmers whom he has brought on to
his lands, and it is safe to say that his firm
have brought 1900 acres of land in the vicin-
ity of LIE Mars under cultivation, and have
added largely to tho population and wealth
of that part of the country, by holding oat
special inducements to immigrant farmers.

THE NECESSITY FOE 4 oHANGE;

THE NECESSITY FOR 4 CHANGE.
Why should the people demand a change
in the government, ask the Republican news
papers and public speakers, when the coun-
try is enjoying SO great prosperity And
then they proceed to argue that the pros
perity at present regnant is directly tracea
BILE to the wise administration of our affairs
by the Republican party, and that to elect a
Democratic President would be to undo all
that has been accomplished in the past and
precipitate financial and commercial panic.
They point to the general betterment of the
condition of the farming community that
has been in progress for the past few years,
and exclaim, Behold one of the results of the
Republican administrations They over
look the fact that the deity may have had
something to do with the abundant crops of
the past four years, and that he can hardly
be reckcned IS member of the Republican
party.
The truth is there is no relation whatever
between orr agricultural and commercial
progress for the past five years and the
administration of the Republican party. Our
material development has been retarded
rather than assisted by the policy pursued.
The financial policy of the secretary of the
treasury has been a most pernicious one.
He put the screws upon the business COM
manity at time when merchants were
poorly prepared for a great change, and as
result tens of thousands Of business men
we're driven into bankruptcy. The secretary
mas in fact destroyed absolutely obliterated
millions of dollars of the wealth of the
country aud we're it not for the wonderful re-
operative powers of our people and the
boundlessness of our resources we would
now be in worse condition OF business
stagnation than Great Britain is today.
The psople want a change for many good
and sufficient reasons. We have, in the first
place, civil list that is altogether too large
and too costly for the need of the country.
1t is, exclusive of the appropriations to the
royal family, greater than that of
Great Britain. the most e1travagsnt in the
world. We have an alleged navy that num-
bers less than forty seaworthy vessels of war,
yet its maintenance costs the people more
than the magnificent naval armament of
Spain. The people want the cost cut down
or else they want to see the equivalent of
their money, navy that will be of some
service in times of emergency. We have an
army numbering in all ranks little less
than twenty-eight thousand men, yet its
cost is greater than the cost of the German
army of million. The army must be re-
organized and the expenses cut down to q
reasonable limit. Our diplomatic service is
grossly inefficient and almost useless. Our
