Col. VIM. Thompson of Bismarck.

A most notable visitor in St. Paul, to-day,
is Col. VIM. Thompson, Of Bismarck, q
pioneer farmer Of Burleigh county, OAK, a
retired army officer and an ex-congressman,
who was also one Of the pioneers of Iowa.
He made the first political speech heard at
Des Moines, Iowa, in 1896, his audience
consisting Of eight men and one woman
from the few families of first settlers who
then occupied the barracks of the old fort,
which had been vacated by the military that
season. In that campaign he was elected
to congress as a Democrat, and
represented southern Iowa in the states first
delegation (of two) in the house Of repre-
sentatives. As a member Of congress aud
Also as prominent Freemason of the far
west, be was present and assisted at the lay
ing of the corner stone Of the Washington
monument by Hon. B. B. French, then at
the head of the Masonic grand lodge of the
United States. Subsequent 10 bis service in
congress Col. Thompson was practcing law
at Burlington, Iowa, when Capts. Morgan
and Mckinney, (both editors, the latter well
known in Minnesota as the veteran editor,
now deceased, Of the Chatfield Dem
ocra0 came from Burlington into
Nlunesola 10 remove the W aDashAW naDQ OF
Dakotahs from the prairie country west Of
the Mississippi. At that time, the colonel
says, he could easily have assembled a Des
Moines county jury which would have con-
victed of insanity any white man VINO
wanted to try the experiment of living
through a winter in the latitude OF st. Paul.
Nevertheless a goodly number of the Iowa
volunteers, under Capts. Morgan and Nc
Kinney, after their discharge returned to
this country, settled here and never had
cause for regretting that they came north.
As for Col. Thompson, be re-
NAMED in Iowa until the war for
the Union began and then, through
the volunteer service, entered the regular
army, in which be was on duty in the upper
Missouri country when be was retired.
Hence his settlement at Bismarck, and his
twelve years. experience there has convinced
him that soil, climate and all necessary con-
ditions are favorable to the complete occupa-
ton of the upper Missouri valley.
Col. Thompson is row on his way 10 the
Worlds fair at New Orleans; will leave here
to-day, and will 60 from New Orleans TO
Washington to attend February - Gu the
dedication of the great monument whose
corner stone was laid in mis- presence forty
six years ago.

MOOdY's Advent.

The central committee distributed in part
TO pastors, at the meeting yesterday after
noon, the tickets for Mr.. MOody's initial
meeting Friday. A telegram was sent to
Major Whittle and Mr.. and Mrs. McGranA-
han to see if they would come on and
assist in the meetings contemplated. Inyi-
tations addressed to every pastor in the state
we're also mailed last night, so that in this
matter the hospitality and enterprise charac-
teristic Of the city have been fully kept by
the committee. 1t is desired that only those
apply for tickets who want them, for it is de-
signed to issue no more than the place will
seat when the meetings are held. They are
good, however, only till z: rs, when the doors
will be thrown open for everyone to enter
who comes. The best arrangements for
chorus, choir, etc, have been made that were
possible. Tonight at the Introductory meet
ing, where Bishop FOss and others are to
speak, it Is hoped there viii be a large at
tendance from all the churches, aud that the
interest therein may fifty prepare the way for
the great meetings to follow.

Exemption, La,rs.

Judge Cox, of Grand Forks, takes strong
ground in favor of the exemption law as it
stands, and the Mandan Pioneer replies:
The point made by the advocates of amend
alton of the laws is that it is not poor
man's'' law; that eastern as well as Dakota
merchants, charge the poor man more for
their goods than they otherwise would, be
cause there is practically no chance of recov-
cry at law. The pith of the matter lies in the
fact that the honest man has TO pay bigger
prices to the merchant, because of losses the
merchant sustains by scoundrels who never
intend 10 pay, and who when pressed, plead
the exemption law. 4 revision OF the law
will not put one cent more into the ''maw Of
insatiate monopoly and captal,n but it will,
instead, Go much TO improve the position Of
the honest poor man, who will not be com
| PEELED to support the parasites that are always
found hanging on to every community whera
there is something to be had for nothing.

The Cooperstown Courier has these details
of the sad accident that caused the death Of
the lovely young wife of the banker. After
dinner Mrs. Pickett came down with Harry.
The bank was locked, and Mr.. Pickett hav-
ing a carpenter at work in the rear, handed
his key to Mrs. Pickett, and passed around
to give the carpenter Henry Haugen, some
instructions. Hardly minute had elapsed
when the report of a revolver was heard, and
he rushed into the bank, only TO find his
wife in the agonies of death. Medical aid
was unavailing. A double-action Smith q
Weston revolver had been LAYING in its
place on the cashiers table; and Mrs. Pick
EFT had taken up the revolver, as she had
often done before, and a fatal accident was
the result. She was familiar with the use
Of fire arms, and had many times picked up
the same weapon, and had been cautioned
repeatedly by her husband.
They had been married little over a year,
and were a devoted and happy couple. One
| child, an infant but a month old, is Left
motherless.

ST. PAUL NEWS.
LOVE, LOVE, BEAUTIFUL LOVE.
But When Ventilated in Court it Don't
Seem So Charming.
A Hash Foundry Figh T. The Rice Street
Gang.

Love matches they say, are made, in
Heaven, but sometimes they are consum-
mated in the police court.
''This taffy business in making love to a
girl,'' said the bailiff yesterday, sis getting
played out. 1t is one thing to take your girl
out in the budding springtime, fill her up
with soda water and heart foam and make
her believe that she is the lode star Of your
hopes, and that she has got first mortgage
on your seven dollar a week salary, but quite
another matter to toe the mark when your
Jolly com mences to assert itself. Now there
is the case OF Mary Anderson, not the play
actress, bless you, no, who surrendered her
200 pounds of gushing girlhood and forty
years of experience to the keeping Of Andy
Johnson, thirty-six years old, who went back
on her.
Just then the confdiug young thing came
into court accompanied by her recreant
lover and Clerk Fairchid in formed the court
that they had made il all up and wanted to be
married. Then the palpitating damsel and
her lover stood up and they were made man
and wife by Judge Burr in his usual happy
manner and the great wrong of last spring
was rghted.
After the above case bad been disposed Of,
there was more trouble to be adjusted grow
ing out of the love making of Mary Wemyss
and William Mills. They had loved, not
wisely but with an ardor that threw the
warm breath of a blast furnace into the
shade. 1t was in October, when the leaves
were turning to gold and russell, and be prom
ised to marry her, she says. But the course
of true love broke rocky for them, and she
had to bring him TO time with warrant.
The case was continued until to-day.
1t was pleasant, after such picnic as the
above. to contem plate the nice little ruction
between VIM. Robert and K. H. Grant. They
board in the same hash foundry, and last
Tuesday night some of the young ladies got
to fighting, when the young men very natu-
rally took sides with them. This led to a
free for-all, and during the scrap they tried
to let the life blood out of each other with
pocket knives. Both men were pretty badly
scratched up, and as they had been punished
almost enough they were sent out for only
ten days.
The case Of the Rice street gang of young
hoodlums was then taken W. The gang
consisted of Pat Broderick, Mike Carr, John
Smith, Mike Mott, Frank Best aud James
Clark. They were yanked from a cave on
Como avenue, from which the were wont to
sally forth on tour of inspection of the hen
roosts of the neighborhood. AS chicken had
been pretty high for them the court thought
a change of diet on wind pudding would do
them good, and they were all jagged Tor
thirty days.

D,ri.ion -4amts.ton oueation.

The Sargent Item takes the more sensible
view in this:
Some Of our able Republican exchanges
are claiming that the continuance of Demo
cratic rule in the house will prove disastrous
to Dakota's prospects OF division and admis-
sion. In our opinion this is a delusion. In
ternal discussion and sectiOnalism has here
tofore done Dakota more harm than all the
BOurbOns this side of his Satanic majesty's
realm. Give Grover and his bold, bad boys q
chance.
The Flandrau Herald in this expresses a
growing Republican view, which is not gen.
orally accepted by prominent Democrats, who
believe that division Is hopeful and should
be the only measure pressed this winter:
sEWe see that several OF our contemporaries
are urging that the legislature, at its coming
session, pass a bill providing for a constitu-
tional convention for the southern half OF
Dakota. If Blaine had been elected, and the
Republicans had secured a majority in the
national house Of representatives, that would
have been very proper thing to do. Under

Lots of Democrats.

1t was not understood that more than one
Democrat had been elected to the legislature,
but the indications are that a respectable
minority Of that party will turn up. One of
the brightest of the younger members is C.
W. Morgan, of Trail. The Hillsboro Banner
says of him: In politics Mr.. Morgan is a
Democrat of pronounced faith. Conversing
in regard to proposed legislation, he said he
was confident the coming legislature would
pass bill restricting and cutting down
freight charges, and expressed himself as
heartily in favor of such a measure. We
predict that Trail county will lind in genial
Charley Morgan useful member.

Stare Parns and Union Fair Grounds

State P1rl: and linton Fair Grounds.
To the Editor of the Globe:
ST. PAUL, Dec. 10.-The suggestion of
Mr.. Loring, of Min neapolis, str likes the cue.
1t is that the two cities unite and form
state park and union fair ground at Min
nehaha. II is proposed that he state pur-
chase, by condemns alton, body of land
around Mnnehaha Falls. f,nd embracing
both sides of the Mississippi at that point,
and that the fair grounds aud buildings
shall be located on the east. or Ramsey
county side of the river.
This proposition should commend itself TO
every citizen of the stat e. The United
States government has a n atiopal park. and
let Minneso have her sta e park, an d pro-
tect and preserve the Writ le of the Indian
maiden's beautiful wateri all.
Right here all things : enter. the hub of
Minnesota--the hub of he universe.
The proposition is jus TO st Paul, and the
ground on the east side of the river in Ram
sey county is a level plateau, aud well
adapted for fair gror ruds. And more. the
location is very accept able, with a natural
grade out the Fort roe q and around the bluff.
Street cars can be ex tended, and the Omaha
railroad extendits Ii ne from the shops. And
we already have the Milwaukee road around
by Fort Smelling TO Minnehaha, and the Mo
tor, already compl .ted from Minneapolis TO
this point can ere ss the river there and come
on 10 ST. Paul.
Let St. Paul ard Minneapolis work to-
gether in this in teresting PROJECT.
