A POETIC MORNING.
Mud Battle for a Maiden's Smiles
A Few Minor Matters Settled
With Dispatch.

The golden sunbeams streamed into the
police court yesterday moning and irradiat-
ed the face of the big clock over the bull
pen, while the bloated countenances of the
half dozen buns looked all the more dismal
and hideous. Such is the effect, gentle read
er, Of contrast, and art itself which after all
is only the poor supplement- of nature can
go no higher.
The way of the transgressor is hard, but
what fate is to be pitied more than that of
the debauched who awakes in the morning
to find himself in durance, out of money and
with coppers burning for just one cocktail.
The congregation yesterday was light but
select. The poets have sung their choicest
lays on the power of love, and how potential
is this most universal passion, that it has
been laid down as principle that all is fair
in both love and war.
Sunday night Mike Simonds, Andy Thue,
and S. Simpson went to see the same girl
and what was the result? The maiden
scorned them all and they went outside of
the parental abode and held a council of
war. Then they decided to fight for the
girl, the best man to have the prize. 1t was
not much of a fight however, for no sooner
had one man been pasted in the snout with
soft mud, then collar came along and
pinched the crowd
One fellow said it hurt his feelings
TO be arrested and that he would
rather work in the mines of Mon
ana a whole year than to be locked
up over night. They were fined SIS apiece
John German, the cranky coblber, promised
to not booze any more and he was discharged
on good behavior. Charley johnson, seedy
tramp, was arraigned on the cearge of steal
ing an ulster. When arrested he was trying
to soak the benjamin for bottle of whisky
He went to the joint for thirty days.
The case of John Marshall, charged with
forgery, was dismissed Marshall identified
man named Mcdonald who secured eight
dollars on bogus check at the Little Joker
saloon. The case of John Cady, charged
with violating the hack ordinance, was also
dismissed.
The case of the state against G. A. Pres
colt, charged with assault with dangerous
weapon, was continued to the 9th of April, at
10 a. m. The case of the city against the
same, charged with simple assault, was con-
tinued to April 4, at 2 p. m.

To the Editor of the Globe {:

To the Editor Of the Globe:
The following from Pope is not a plea for
Sitting Bull, nor an apollo gy for his admirers,
the twaddle of both of whom has appeared in
your paper The reader can take it at his
own valuation:
so the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind;
His soul proud science never taught to stray
Far as the solar walk or milky way;
Yet simple nature to his hope has given,
Behind the cloud-topt hill, an humber heaven;
Some safer world in depth of woods embraced,
Some happier island in the watery waste,
Where slaves once more their native land behold,
No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold
To be, content his natural desire.
Go, miser thou and in thy scale of sense,
Weigh thy opinion against Providence;
Call imperfecton what thou fancyst such,
Say, here he gives too little, there too much;
Destroy all creatures for thy sport gust,
Yet cry, if mans unhappy, Gods unjust;
If man alone engross not Heavens high care,
Alone made perfect here, immortal there;
Snatch from his hand the balance and the rod,
Rejudge his justice, be the god of God
In pride, in reasoning pride, our error lies;
And who but wishes to invite the laws
OF order sins against the Eternal Cause.
Ask for what end the heavenly bodies shine,
Earth for whose use? Pride answers '''Tis for
mine;
For me kind nature wakes her genial power,
Suckles each bud and spreads out every flower;
Annual for me the grape, the rose renew,
The juice nectareous, and the bamly dew;
For me, the mine thousand treasures brings;
For me, health gushes from thousand springs;
Seas roll to wait me, suns to light me rise;
My footstool earth, my canopy the skies
But errs not nature from this gracious end,
From burning suns when lvid deaths descend
When earthquakes swallow, when tempests
sweep
Towns to one grave, whole nations to the deep!
''No Cts replied), the first Almighty Cause
''Acts not by partial but by general laws;
OF plaques earthquakes break not Heavens
design,
Why then Borgia or Catalne:"
Or Sitting Bull even. SUBSCRIBER.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
August Norrdin Caught in the Belt.
ing at the st. Paul PlOw
Works.
Literally Torn to Pieces and His Bones
Ground Up.

An appalling accident took place at the st.
Paul Plow works about 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, resulting in the instant death of
August Norrdin, mechanic about fifty-fve
years of age. The mannerin which he came
to his death, and the surrounding circum-
stances, are narrowing in the extreme, and
it would be impossible to conceive of more
distressing accident. Norrdin had been en-
ployed for some time past in the wood shop
of the pillow works, and he ran what is known
as a sand drum, a machine employed to
sand-paper wood.
In the shop were employed about a dozen
men, but so terribly sudden and noisless was
the accident that none of the workmen
knew what had taken place until it was all
over. AS there were no witnesses of the
affair, the theory is that the terrible catastro-
phe took place in the following manner:
About the time named, Norrdin mounted a
ladder for the purpose of fixing belt, and
he was in the act of so doing when he became
entangled in the shafting, which was go
ing at the rate of $50 revolutions per min
ute.
His death was terrible and sudden, as the
shafting wound him round and round, the
attention of his fellow-workmen being at
tracted by the grinding of his bones.
The machinery was stopped as quickly as
possible, but there was nothing left of the
man but his trunk, the remains being fear
fully mangled.
The company state that,th unfortunate man
should not have attempted to fix the belt, as
it was against the rules. Mr.. Norrdin was
one of the oldest and most valued employees
of the Pillow Works, highly esteemed for his
good habits, sobriety and industry.
Coroner Quinn was notified and he decid-
ed it would not be necessary to hold an in
quest.
The remains were taken to the residence
of the deceased, corner of Fourth and Maple
streets. He leaves wife and one daughter.

SENTENCED,
The Convicted Criminals Before the
District Court Given Their
AIIotments Yesterday.

Judge Wilkin opened court at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning for the sentence of sever
al prisoners whom juries had found guilty or
who had thus plead.
John Baxter was first arraigned for SEN
tence,w when his attorney, s. D. Hall, asked the
leniency of the court in his sentence stating
that no testimony had been given in the
prisoners trial that he was not intoxicated
at the time of stealing the property, a horse
and buggy containing goods worth $751;, ex-
cept that of policeman, pleading his not
knowing what he did when intoxicated, and
his character for honesty when sober. Bax-
ter on being called upon to state as to
whether he had anything to say why
sentence should not be passed upon him
made quite an argument. He stated that
he was drunk at the time of the committal of
the deed and had no memory of it until he
walked from his stuper and found himself
under arrest. He had lived in the city
twenty seven years and had never meant to
take anything which did not belong to him.
There were witnesses whose affidavits were
being prepared whom he tried to have get
into the wagon on the night in question, and
ride towards the city instead of from it, which
would affirm that he did not act like q thief
in the premises. The judge said if these
aGidavits were worthy of consideration they
must be presented to the governor for
his action, but that his duty
compelled him to pass sentence
on the prisoner, which he accordingly did,
and gave him one year and two months in
the penitentiary at Saltwater.
Thomas Gillepsie was arraigned for sent
ence for his assault upon Pauline Gabel.
His counsel, Mr.. Ives, made quite an
earnest plea to keep his client from states
prison sentence by citing law and supreme
court decision, having previously withdrawn
motion for stay of proceedings. After
hearing all arguments Judge Wilkin pro-
nounced sentence of six months in the pen
itentiary at Saltwater, and John Sewers, an
accomplice in the same crime, received sim
liar sentence, the judge stating that however
bad the character Of woman might be she

Northern Wheat.

fOTtHtSn pHcUt'
To grow wheat successfully, it is necessary
to change the seed at least every third year
and better wheat could be grown by always
getting the seed from much more
northern latitude than where it is to be
grown to produce the crop. The reason of
the above is that all vegetation tends to
shorten its period of growth and to ripen
early when grown in a northern latitude
hence seeds brought from a northern to a
more southern situation are inclined to ripen
their crop earlier. This quality of early
maturity is of great advantage to wheat.
Frequently crop of wheat is reduced to
third grade by being few days late in ma
turing. This is proven by the fact that wheat
has been frequently sown under the same
conditions of soil and culture with this one
exception of being sown a few days later,
thus causing the wheat to mature few days
later and resulting in second or third grade,
whereas the early sown was first grade.
Now as even the earliest sown wheat will not
always mature before those hot days that
prevent its filing, it follows that all adVan-
tage that can be taken to mature wheat
early should be taken advantage of. North
ern grown seed is decided advantage and
viii have its effect on the crop of wheat pro-
duced for three or more seasons. This fact
is also true of corn and all other vegetation.
Also to get the best results no crop should
ever be grown from seed produced on the
same kind of soil as where the crop is to be
grown. To get the best results the seed
should be raised in a different kind Of soil
and also to considerable distance to the
north. AS all apples have been produced
from the original crab it follows that the new
varieties at present cultivated show con-
siderable improvement in quality, etc. I'm
provement in varieties obtained by hybridi-
sing apply also to cereals, and thus we are
constantly having new kinds of grain intro
duced, some of which are a decided ad-
vance on those formerly cultivated.
