[FROM JOSEPH SCHMIDT.

FROM JOSEPH SCHMIDT.
In this age of improvements of all kind,
The state Of Texas does not remain behind,
San Antonio takes always the lead, guess,
A fact of which often speaks the local press.
We have the elect &c light, the telephone,
The medcated spectacles, and so on.
Indeed the place is improving very much,
But the mud in the streets they never touch.
If in wet day you pass South Flores street,
The mud is sticking like cement to your feet,
And before you get so lar as Stumberg's store,
You are not on terra tirma any more.
wonder how the ladies get through that way?
That some lady does not stick fast in the clay;
On this point the city fathers are divided,
And the means how to help this evil unde-
cided.
And this undecision. do calculate,
Is the reason the streets remain in this state.
would advise, let wood and gravel alone,
And use medicated or adjusted stones.
present to the public, gratis, my advise,
And ask humbly to favor and patronize.

Of Selling Tea ana Throtcing im u Prize.
Recently one Thomas Phillips opened at
No. 523 Nicoilet avenue, what purpOrted to
be branch store OF the Importers Tea COM
pany. Cans were filed with tea and in the
cans was put jewelry, watches and the like,
and then each was sold for 81. A collection
of the nam.s of the parties being fortunate
enough TO secure handsome
gift was published as an advertisement By
this means q land Office business was done,
much TO the displeasure of the other and legit-
innate tea merchants and to the lesser fortu-
nate purchasers.
As an outcome yesterday Mr.. Phillips was
arrested, charged with swindling by running
lottery business. The case was examined
before Judge Cooley in the
afternoon. Messrs. c. B. Benton and j. W.
Attorney G. IL. Benton appeared for the state.
Attorney Benton for the defense moved to
dismiss, on the ground that No crime had
been charged. Then ensued a lengthy and
exhaustive argument between the attorneys,
in which citations, statutes and reports were
voluminously read.
After listening tothe argument, the court
stated that he would give his decision this
morning.
OTHERS OF THE SAME NATURE.
There are other business houses being
run upon the same or similar plan where
gifts are made as an Involvement, and should
the court hold the defendant in the above
action guilty, other cases will follow, as Chief
Munger is determined to see that the law is
strictly enforced in every particular.

The PtHcEy and SkiAfuL LITTLE Fourteen
EeaToid EQuestrienne.
Yesterday afternoon the Michigan girl, little
Myrtle Peek, srrived in Minneapolis, accom-
panied by her sister and Mr.. Harris, her MAO
ager.
The GLOBE reporter met her at
the Office OF the fair manage
ment and was accorded pleasant interview.
In appearance Myrtle isa mere child, bsing
only fourteen years old, and rather small for
one of her years. She is bright and iutelli-
gent, and in fact very different in most res
poets in her appearance then what would nat
urally be expected of girl who has attained
her reputation as an equestrienle. There is
nothing bold nor masculine, but on the con-
trary she is modest and feminine and withal,
petty.
She stated to the reporter that her first
match race was with Miss Pnneo, who is
well known TO the GLOBE readers, she having
participated II twenty mile races in Mtnneap-
OILS al Two or three fairs, on June % al Rock
ford, H., although sic had been accustomed
10 riding from her merest childhood. Her
home is on d farm in Mendon. Mich where
she Was corn At the age of nine she won
quite notor!ety by breaking wild colts for
the saddle.
This little eQuestrienne midget has the fast
esl record made, she having rode seven horses
twenty miles in 43 minutes and 2916 seconds,
and it is quite natural that the race between
her md The little kentucky lady will be IN a.
tractlve ana exciting event.

DECISION held uutil this morning.
Am ); 500 o.c.moEc
\ Chicago furniture house has been selling
goods on the monthly irstaliment plan, en-
poying canvassing agents to sell the goods.
One of thhse agents has been working Mir
Ieapolis. The plan Is to sell piece OF furni-
ture at from fifty to one hundred per cent.
more than the same piece can be purchased
of any of the local dealers, receiving in pay
ment any sum from 81 to S. per month. It
seems that the agent employed to work this
city met with considerable success. He sent
to the home Office IN Chicago a goodly num-
Der of orders, but appeared to have
"hard luck" in making collections. Last
week one of the proprietors of the Chicago
house becoming dissatisfied with the small
moneyed returns. came on to Minneapolis To
look up the business. When he arrived he
failed 20 find his agent, aid, taking the adj
dress of the cpstomels through the city,
made an investigation. he found that his
agent had collected over $500, which had not
been mentioned In his returns, and with that
sum had departed for parts unknown.
