shops at the head of Jackson street.

A man named N. P. Gleason came. down
from Mandan yesterday. He was Sprostrat-
ed and 1t is supposed he was sunstruck. OFF,
Ger Calvin took charge Of him and conveyed
him to the city hospital.
The old Mclean school house building has
reached its new location at POSTS Siding, and
will be put in order time enough to accommo-
date the children upon the opening of the
schools on the 18th inst.
Tha seasons come and go, and SO does the
mud on Wabashaw street. 1t takes the street
force two weeks to cart the mud on, and then
| 1t takes about the same to cart it Off again.
This process is a forcible reminder of the old
ditty OF the wise man who jumped into the
briar bush, etc.
There was select and appreciative audience
at the Y. NJ. G. A. entertainment last evening.
Miss Minnie E. Jones, of Black River Falls,
Wis, gave several selections very finely. Mr..
Lichtenberger also read two or three selections
admirably. The music by the Misses Corn
man was well received.

| Articles of incorporation of the Dakota
Farming company was filed with the secre-
tary of state yesterday. The capital stock is

p. T. Smith, N. FL. Emmans, F. B. Kidder, E.
Hayen and o. II. Quinby, all of Minneapolis,
who constitute the first board of directors
and officers of the organization.
Quite an excitement was created on upper
Third street yesterday forenoon by the runa.
way antics of farmers team. The farmer
had unhitched them from his wagon while he
unloaded his hay. The team took fright and
ran from St. Anthony hill to Seven Corners,
where they mixed up with several teams and
were halted with few cuts and bruises. Sew
eral sidewalk pedestrians had narrow escapes.
The remains of young Howard, whose sad
death by drowning on Monday night has been
heretofore mentioned, and which were found
on Wednesday mile below Newport, were
brought back to this city between IL and 1
O'Clock yesterday morning by Messrs. Leigh
d Co., and under the direction of his father,
who arrived here on Wednesday, were for
warded to Durand, Wis.,, by the O'Clock
train yesterday morning for burial.
The last visible evidence of The late sen-
gerfest has disappeared from our streets. The
Aast emblem was the triumphal arch span
ming Third street at Bridge square, and that
was removed yesterday. 1t was faded, and it
is gone, but while the heartfelt motto of
"wilkommen" is no longer to be seen by the
naked eye, our German fellow citizens from
abroad should always remember that the SEN
timent remains fresh and green. -,

gers music store last evening perfected the

The organ recital of Mr.. s. a. Baldwin at
the House of Hope church yesterday proved
to be great musical success. The instru-
mental part of the programme was unex-
ceptionally good. Mr.. De Lacy Was excellent
in the two selections which he executed, and
received well merited applause. The recital
was literally patronized, and it is to be hoped
that the succeeding concerts will receive even
more liberal patronage, for they are worthy of
the most hearty encouragement
Yesterday an expressman was engaged by
two young ladies to convey. their trunks to
certain house on Sixth street, near Robert.
On arriving at the directions given, the in
mates knew nothing about the trunks or
owners. The eXpressman then tried two or
three other dwellings in the neighborhood,
but could find no one willing to take them
in. He therefore took them to the city hall,
where they now are. Both trunks are of
large size and perfectly new. The query is,
where are the girls? FL
Capt. Clark put his hand into it yesterday
afternoon. He saw a couple of suspicious
looking characters lurking about the post
office, and he went for them. One disap-
peared suddenly, but the captain collared the
other, who struggled little. In examining
the fellow the captain ran his hand down into
nf his oOaf rOcknfc nd fnupd If filed
with eggs which had been broken in the tus-
sic. he captain got handful. The other
pocket was filled with onions. The fellow is
in the lock up. .
| 1t is almost worth the price of new suit of
clothes or lady's dress to pass along any of
| the sidewalks of this city. The cutters are
| filled with mud and filth, and the horses
which line the curbstones in their stamping
| bespatter both the just and the unjust, the
| beggar in his rags and Dives in his purple
robes. 1t don't make any difference to the
| GLOBE men, for they change their suits twice
day anyhow, but 1T does work hardship
upon those who cannot afford to do this, and
| on their behalf the GLOBE asks that some
thing be done to mitigate if not remedy the
evil.
| 1t was expected yesterday that the two con-
fidence men, Paine and Mansfield, would fur
nish the 5000 bail required and be released.
They thought better of it, however, aud
through their attorney, E. G. Rogers, Esq. !,
informed the court that they were not pre-
pared to do so. 1t is barely possible that the
presence of Capt. Barry, of the Minneapolis
police force, who was armed with warrant
| for their rearrest Immediately upon their re-
lease here, for a similar effense committed in
Hennepln county, had something to do with
their change OF mind.
