certificate of character than the fact that
the pack of newspaper scoundrels who
support Washburn in the Fourth district
are baying at his heels in the Fifth. Their
yells and rage is sure sign that the
thieves realize their peril and hope to
avert it by retaining power for their own
gang.
The Kindred campaign is disturbing
the prospects of the gang of public
thieves and robbers who have plundered
Minnesota for years and they fight with
the desperation of a cornered burglar
who has no alternative but to fight or
die.
1t will be a happy day when these plum
derers are routed. The Democrats are
powerless for good, single handed, but
with the discussions now existing they
hold the key to the situation.
The revolt of the honest anti-ring Re-
publicans should be encouraged and fos-
tered by all good citizens, regardless of
political preferences. 1t is an opportun-
ity to redeem and regenerate the State
which should not be lost.

STILLWATER.

Mr.. Oliver Jourdaip is meeting with double
share OF taftiictiOn at present. The death
of his wife by typhoid fever occurred last Sat-
urday evening, two of his children are down
with the same disease. Yesterday while out
riding Mr.. Jourdain was taken suddenly i'll
and was conveyed to the city hospital.
The police are doing their best to ferret out
the theivng gentry, with which the city is in
tested. Every few days robbery of some
kind occurs. Up to the present time the
operations of the rascals have not been very
richly rewarded. The most secured by them
at one time was clothing stolen from Mrs.
Green the other day. 1t is the opinion of
some persons that the thieves have hiding
place near the city.
On Wednesday night an attempt was made
to buTglarize the residence of Mr.. Hayden, on
First street. The thief effected an entrance 10
the house, but was heard by servant, who
made noise by jumping up and down, by
which means the robber was frightened off.
Two men were arrested last MI ht on .uspi-
ciou OF having been engaged in some of the
numerous thefts perpetrated lately in this
city. They were discharged to-day for want
of proof.

Ridd,ed With Bullets bv a Mob

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Aug. 25.-As train
containing two colored prisoners, Savage and
James, reached Madison this morning, it was
met by about one hundred persons, twelve or
fifteen of whom rushed into the train and
riddled the prisoners with bullets. The agent
OF the railroad did not suspect any violence
until a short time before the arrival of the
train, when he attempted to telegraph each
way, but found the wires cut. he then ran
up the track to signal the conductor not to
stop, but some one had boarded the train and
uncoupled the two rear cars. The prisoners
had been convicted of the murder of Frank
Patterson, February, 1881, at Madison in
the room where the testimony in the contested
election case was being taken. new trial
had been granted by the supreme court. The
prisoners were being conveyed from ITALIA
hassee to Jasper to undergo that trial when
murdered.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.-Public cables came in
firmer but late private advices indicated dull
markets abroad. Wheat ruled pretty steady DUR
ing the forenoon, the strength being caused by
the buying of some the boys for scalp. One
of our Hebrew members bought big lot but
sold it again at about half cent advance and
the market is wholly made up of this kind of
trading. McGeoch is largely long, however,
and some say he is carrying it for Armour,
but l don't know how true the re.
port is. Nichols is also carrying
quite line for Wall street,
but the parties in New York would let 1t ali
go ii the market sells off couple of cents.
The weather was damp to-day and helped the
scalpers on the bull side. On the call August
dropped lc, some of the boys. having heard
that million bushels was on the way from
st. Louis. Ican't see any thing in the bull
side yet unless there is big European war.
The curb for September is 81.
Corn was steady and in good demand, but
would drop sharply under good receipts.
September is offered at 76Sc on curb.
Oats steady.

John Wanamaker, Esq > the great merchant

IT WASN'T MURDER.
The Whereabouts of Oscar Beck Reliably
Accounted For.

The whereabouts of Oscar Beck Reliably
Accounted For.
The GLOBE of Thursday morning devoted
some little space to the results of an investiga.
ton by Sheriff Richter, in connection with
the reporter, ito what had been represented
as the mysterious disappearance of one Oscar
Beck, boy of eleven years, son
of Lars II. Beck, residing near Bass
lake, suspicion existing in certain
quarters that there had beeR foul play. The
investigation developed nothing more than
that Beck treated his family cruelly-so cruel
ly that little girl was removed from his
care-and that the boy was gone, but nothing
was developed to sustain the theory OF foul play
Still the whereabouts of the boy could not be
learned, and all who had held TO the theory of
foul play continued of the same belief. The
GLOBE now has the pleasure of relieving Mr.
Beck of this suspicion, it having learned that
the boy in question is in the employ OF E. FL.
Bradshaw, at the Williams house, White Bear
lake, where he has been for several weeks.

BoTH Gilman and Comstock are busily
at work, in an underhand style of course,
to get Nelson off the track. They see
that his defeat is inevitable and they want
to swap horses. Nelson is getting dis
couraging reports from various parts of
the district, many of which are inspired
by this brace of worthless. The GLOBE
trusts the scheme will not work. Nelson
has entered the lists and it would be a
cowardly surrender for him to retire. He
should not be discouraged. 1t looks
pretty blue for him now. but it is some
time before the election. We sincerely
trust Knuty will stick. The serene
pleasure of displaying his cold political
corpse in November should not be
snatched away from the people. They

The resolutions adopted by the Demo-
cratic district convention at Minneapolis
in response to the communication of the
constitutional amendment agitation COM
mittec was both fair and wise. 1t was
fair because it plainly states
that the party is opposed to all sumptuary
laws, which is the position the party has
always occupied. 1t was wise because it
recognizes the inalienable right CT petit
ton, for that is practically what the re-
quest of the prohibition people amounted
to. There was no lodging of live issue

cate of three which owns and carries the
other senator in their breeches pocket
