10 the Editor OF the Globe:
DELL RAPIDS, Oak, April "a, 1SS4.-The
s'canny Scotchman'' with his drills and
stone hammer has come to stay. The wealth
of jasper and the demand for the ''best''
paving stone has brought him here, and an
extensive mandatory may be said to be es-
tablished here ''to stay" The large deposit
of jasper left by nature, so accessible is the
raw material that will be manufactured and
the supply is ineXhaustible. Between 200
and 800 men are to be employed this season,
and the business will hereafter be extended.
The beneficial effect of this is already per-
ceptible, although commenced within the
last two weeks. Prof. G. d. WILDER last even
ing delivered lecture before crowded
house at the NJ. E. church, upon the geolog-
ical formation of this section, and stated
that the wealth of the jasper deposit here
is too immense for calculation, and
that here is the center of the vast deposit,
the peculiar value Of which is comprehended
in the fact that for paving stone it is per-
feet. This opinion has much weight, coming,
as it does, from a man of such eminence ac-
quired by his long and patient study of ''the
rocks.n
The first store ever built in Dell Rapids
was to-day moved from its old site to give
place to new building to be occupied as a
bank. Mr. G.. A. Uline, the pioneer mer
chant, intends that the new building shall
be the best in town, and will ultimately
make it part of large brick block. The
chagrin of having an indicted governor, is
modified in the estimation of the people by
due con sderation of the fact that we have
always imported larger portion of our fed
eral officials and neither he nor those en-
gagged in procuring the indictment are home
products.
The rustling agent of the GLOBE took III
the sights and heightened the list of his sub
cribers here last week, and on his next visi
will doubtless supplement it with still fur
Their addition, as the GLOBE is evidentl,
growing into favor and popularity. S.

Hour Thea LOOK at Jerome pa,.1.


Vigilant in the Spirit Of the Times has the
fonowingin regard to Commodore Kittson' S
horses at Jerome Park, New York:
There was a great gathering at Jerome
Park on Sunday morning last. They had
come to enjoy the sallops of the pleasant
April morning, and they came from all quar-
tiers. Major Hubbard, accompanied by Mr..
Raymond and Mr.. Charles, were early on the
ground, and the beaming face of the master
of Preakness looked out from below the tim
ing stand. Issaquena and Abba did a good
move, and then Panique and Ra.taplan were
sent out and finished so full of it that the
owner of Himalaya, for whose benefit it was,
no doubt, intended, took the hint.
''Well, Hubbard" he remarked, II think
Knight as well pay you my forfeit now.''
'What's that!' asked the Major, not sec
ing the point.
''Why, my colt can't do anything like that
run, and l might as well give you the forfeit
now. The Winters stakes are yours, of
course.''
Hadn't you better give it to Rowe?" re-
torted the major.
81 guess Alcocll's got the best claim, {"
observed Rowe, looking very cunning.
The fact is, both Panique and Rataplan
have improved very fast since they began
work at Jerome park. Both have trained
kindly, and while Panique is colt of amaz-
ing speed, and is a strong fancy for the
Withers Stakes, we must own thatwe have an
intense fondness for Rataplan's style of 60
ing. He moves with great ease, propening
his great muscular frame over the ground
with force of a steam engine, and carries
his head low like a slayer, which we think he
will prove. There is no doubt that he is by
Reform, as he was foaled fourteen months af-
ter Alarms last cover. In appearance he
bears striking likeness of his grandsire,
the noted English horse, Rataplan, brother
to Stockwell. As an evidence of this, last
week we accompanied Major Hub bard and
Lee to the clubhouse, where there is pic
ture of old Rataplan. Lee had meyer seen it,
but when Major Hubbard put his hand over
the name and asked Lee what horse it looked
like, his immediate answer was: '40ur Rata
plan, only our horse has better legs.n

To the Editor OF the Globe:
HASTINGS, Mimi, April %, 1SS4.-Ths
clans are gathering here to-day TO hold a
county convention, which will elect delegates
to 20 to Faribault next Tuesday Their
presence and the fact that have been over
the territory lately enable me 10 Judge some-
what of the opposition 10 Major Strait. There
is plenty of it; the politicians are growing
everywhere at him, but they lack concentra-
ton, and that makes them weak and gives
Strait an opportunity to capture the nomiua-
ton next Tuesday. Not that his defeat is
is impossible, but his nomination is prob
able. On all sides one hears dissatisfaction
expressed at our congressional rCpreseutas
tive. II is conceded that as a claim agentha
has but few superors, being thorough and
capable worker in that branch of congress-
ional duties But the Third district feels tlmt
it has the right to ask for something more
than that from its congressman.
Mnnesota's representatives, are Won
derfully lacking in brainy qualities.
They "are good enough fellows" Every
body knows that, but that is not all to be de
sired Minnesota is western state-one Of
the most prominent ones-growiug every
year to grander proportions. 1t rests ON the
great plateau of the northern continent, fac
ing the east, whose granaries it fills; 'front.'
ing the west. the great storehouse Of that re-
gon. Occupying such an important mercan-
tile position, why should not its political rep
resentatives at Washington be Of that caibet
and stamp that they could grasp the issues Of
the hour, debate them, and by their brains
and sterling worth, backed by the million in
habitants Of this state, secure due recognition
of themf
Among intelligent people of this district it
is felt that Major Strait is something of
'Know-nothing," incapable Of being broad
guaged, liberal man. Among the politicians
of his own party there is discomfort, and
rebellion against his ''wire-pulling" methods.
If these two opposing forces are concentrated
and united next Tuesday, Strait will be de-
feated for a denomination. If they O'iHtO
the convention disorganized and without
head he will be nominated, but that is not
equivalent to an election.

Davenport and Dubuque.
1Chicago Horseman.

These two associations have placed their
speed programme before the public, and it is
one which deserves support and we think
will receive it. Davenport takes the lead in
dates. Its meeting will be held on July 10,
10, II and IS. Dubuque takes the following
week, July 20, %, "a and 25th. The dates
are so arranged that the following meetings
continue the sport for five weeks, making
seven weeks Of continuous sport, and thus
assisting horsemen very materially in locat-
ing their horses over considerable period
of time. LaSalle, July 20 to Aug. LIST;
Ottowa, Aug. to s. Joliet, Aug. II to Is;
Ottowa, Aug. IS to % and Davenport, Aug.
25 to 29th With such series of meetings large
entries will certainly be the rule. The card
at Davenport and Dubuque is identical.
Tuesday, the opening day, is devoted to the
800 and 1925 class trotters and the 2:3O
PAGERS. The second days card consists of
the 2:42 and the 2:28 class trotters. The
third day the 2:4S and the free-fora1 will
settle their difficulties while the last day will
supply full card from the 2:32 and 2:3S
trotters, and the free-for-all PAGERS. Eight
thousand dollars will be given in purses at
the two meetings. The purses are $500
each, and as their two meetings connect adj
mirably with other days we shall expect to
see them receive very large share OF the
patronage of both horsemen and the public.

Henry Blum Dangerously Cut Yester-
day Morning on Leach Street.

The German bakers have society which
held dance with open bar at Browns hall
on West Seventh near Leach street last Sat-
urday night, which did not wind up until
one o'clock Sunday morning, There was
full as much drinking done as dancing, and
it was very hard work at times to preserve
order. Among other occurrences marin g
the peace Of the gathering, George Brown
was put outside twice for making a disturb
ance. He, however, got in again, and staid
until the finish, but it was evident that some
bad blood had been developed Promptly at
one O'Clock the party dispersed, with the ex-
ception of few of the wranglers, who were
aroused by girls crying out to them that a
man was laying on Leach street
wounded. About this time the patrol wagon
and officers in returning from the Yankee
street fire came upon Henry Blum who had
who had been assaulted after the ball had
broken up by party who had followed him
up, was lying upon the side walk and bleed
ing terribly from his wounds He was taken
at once on the stretchcr into the wagon and
conveyed to the city hospital where his
wounds were dressed, he having nearly bled
to death. He now lies at the hospital in very
critical convention. The examination re-
yealed a wide cut in the arm above the elbow
from knife, which penetrated to the bone
and cut off both arteries and chords. There
were also three or four cuts or stabs in the
shoulder and one in the head. but none of
them any where near as severe as that in
the arm The police at once commenced
search for the assailants and at Z
O'Clock yesterday morning had ar
rested and locked up Geo. Brown, Carl
Slaub, Jacob Mettler, Charley Finkliner,
John Seigaarth and Chris. Hoffman, on
charge Of being concerned in the assault, all
of them being bakers. During the forenoon
they were taken to the city hospital in the
patrol wagon and admitted one by one to
Blum's bedside for recognition of the assail-
ant or assailants. He recognized Geo.
Brown as the man who knocked him down
on the walk but said he did not know any
thing more about his being attacked after
Brown struck him. The parties arrested
and the injured man are all Germans and
there is much excitement over the matter
| Blum was workman at a bakery near the
Seventh street bridge. The principal OBJ
stacle to his recovery is his great loss OF
blood, it having flowed in big pools onto the
walk, saturated the police stretcher through
and through and soaked his clothing
wringing wet. The authorities are bound tC
solve the problem of this difficulty to the
bottom, and one effect of it will be, an6
should be, to stop the sale of liquor Of
any kind at public places of amusement al
| together, at least after the hour of midnight

Irving to Skin the Ward.

Geo. Brown arrived in West St. Paul from
Chicago several months ago dead broke. He
was cigar maker, and persuaded Swimer, a
cigar and tobacco dealer at the end of the
Wabashaw street bridge, to let him work for
his board. He went to making cigars, and
in his employers absence tending shop, ETC.,
and from time to time was paid several dol
lars in wages. short time since the en-
ployer discovered his goods were disappear
ing faster than his till was filing up with
dimes and nickels. Yesterday morning
Brown, being on the eve Of decamping with
a very fat valise, the dealer stepped out to
telephone the police, when Brown skipped
out leaving his bag and overcoai. These the
police appropriated, and in the former found
a nest of swag in the shape of pipes, tobacco
cigar holders, ETC. A few hours later they
spotted Mr.. Brown and locked him up in the
city hall on charge of petty larceny.

In fact, nv faith in this is so strong that I
tried hard to buy him last fall. He is being
driven about Rochester every fair day, but
has not yet been shod, the quarter crack not
having grown entirely out.
While Rochester is in mind, may as well
note the fact that King of the West, by Ham
dallah, dam by Star of the West, has been
taking preparatory work for about month
in the hands of J. H. Groesbeck. l saw this
fellow last July, an untrainted, awkward, I'M
promising four-year-old, being pounded
about in buggy with so little show OF life or
foot that very slim string Of suckers would
have seemed an extravagant price for him.
In September l saw him poke along an easy
mile in the mud in 2:4SM, with another
horse Just beating him an eye-lash. 1t may
be of interest to Groesbeck to know that he
only missed by a very little having to resign
the lines To play it fine, driver should try
harder and not get quite so close. King OF
the West is looking and acting very well this
spring, and with the sample of his quality
given last year, good showing will be ex-
pected of him. Groesbeck is also driving a
son of DeGraff's Alexander that is free from
record, but it looks as if either he or the
horse that beats him, some race between
now and snowfall, would be comfortably
supplied in the line.
The Rochester people propose to hold an
other 4th of July trotting meeting this year
and make colt racing a decided feature
Their last venture in this direction gave.
widespread satisfaction, and l am just in re
ceipt of an inquiry from Hon. Walter [.
Hayes, of Clinton, Ia, as to what the pros
poets are for renewal of the Minnesota colt
contests. The judge was trife piggish last
year in walking off with all the honors, and
may be content to share with others this sea-
son the sweets of victory. In any event,
Minnesota sends greeting to Iowa, with an
earnest invitation to square deal and a
hard fight, and may the best colt win.

To the Editor Of the Globe:
notice in to-day's paper you publish that
paragraph of the st. Louis platform QS16)
relating to the tariff. It is good, and as
tariff for revenue Democrat | would like to
see all revenue reform papers keep that ar
tcle standing at the head Of their editorial
columns. Like everything else that Mr..
Tilden writes, (and have always under
stood he was the author of this,) it is a clear,
terse and concise indictment Of the Rcpub-
Iican party for their NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. in
this respect.
l notice the Pennsylvania coal mine own

nine days in July, in order that they may
keep the price Of coal up. Oh, yes, these
protectionists are very sensitive about legis-
lation that may result in a reduction Of
wages earned by the workingmen, but they
have no hesitancy in ordering a "shut
down. which is equivalent to a reduction Of
the wage rate 3315 per cent, when they want
to raise the price Of coal.
Mr. Morrison's bill places coal on the free
list, but the Republicans say no; yet they
are well aware that cheap coal means more
manufactures and more foundries, more
work for the laborin q man, more life and
prosperity for cities struggling to build up
their manufacturing industries. This is one

IChicago Horseman.

The adjourned meeting of the board of re-
view of the National Trotting association
will be held at the Grand Pacific hotel on
Tuesday, May 10, at o'clock p. m. We
need hardly say that the May meeting of the
board is ahighly important ono. The vast
maj GRITTY Of the western cases come up before
it for decision. The time, being just prior
to the beginning of the summer campaign,
and there being no other meeting till the
following December, all suspensions
and explosions will have to be acted
upon then or the delinquents
remain out in the cold for the forthcoming
season. We hope horsemen who have cases
to bring before the board will at once send
on their notices to the secretary, and they
will materially assist the board by having all
the evidence and documents relative to their
cases in proper form. The decisions of the
board form the law of practice for the trot-
ting track, the decisions arrived at are the
results of law and equity combined, and in
making their pleas, horsemen will help them
selves and the board as well by giving all the
facts and circumstances as full as possible.
