The Black HIS Freight QUESTION.

F. H. Ertel, of Belfield, D. T., and for.
merly of this city, came in on yesterday.
train. Mr.. E. is here in the interest of his
town to consult with the heavy freighters Of
the Black Hills as to the shipment of freight
to Deadwood via the Northern Pacific rail
road. Contracts for over 40, 600, 900 pounds
of Black Hills freight are to-day represented
in this city, which with proper inducements
on the part of the Northern Pacific officials
will be transported over the northern route,
instead of via Pierre as heretofore Beltield
is on the main line of the Northern Pacific
railroad, $50 miles west of Bismarck, and
offers an easy and peculiarly favorable wagon
road to Deadwood. Mr.. E. reports but little
snow west of the Missouri, and is more than
pleased with the immigration to and pros
poets for his town, which has one of the very
brightest futures before it.

Il Surprise PartU.

One of the most pleasant social events of
the season took place at the residence of; Mr..
Ed. McNamee, st. Anthony hill. A party of
thirty-five couple of ladies and gentlemen
called to give surprise to Mrs. McNamee,
who left nothing undone to make the even
ing one of the most pleasant and enjoyable
by securing band of musicians, who played
a series of their choice selections, while the
merry guests took advantage of the same in
passing the evening in dancing, until the
much surprised hostess again returned CON-
pliments by inviting the happy guests to the
refreshment table. When fully satisfied
with their feast, they resumed their dancing
and sociability until hilarity began to pass to
the happy dreams, when the merry makers
bid farewell to their surprised hostess, only
wishing to give thanks for courtesy received.

AMUSEM EN- rs.

From the popular standpoint the dramatic
lines in st. Paul during the past week have
not fallen in very pleasant places. The week
opened at the Grand with the appearance of
the perennial actor Frank Mayo, who pre-
sented the familiar play ''Dayy Crockett. !"
For some inscrutible reason the play failed
to draw the usual crowded audiences, not
withstanding it is one of the
few dramas that preserve the spirit of fresh
ness and seem to improve with time. Of the
character, "Crockett'' Mr.. Mayo has made
the perfect ideal of distinct type and as a
writer remarked, he drinks from the springs
of love, studies the habits of the deer and
the gray squirrel, and from the simple gran
deur of nature he gathers the thoughts and
principles by which he governs himself
and judges the character of man.
On Thursday evening the Henrietta Vaders
company opened an engagement at the
Grand in ''The Sea of Ice.'' This peculiar
drama with its really fine spectacular effects,
startling plot and situations drew only mod
crate audiences, and financially the engage
ment was not a success. The company
comprises more than an average degree of
talent, and the play was very acceptably en-
acted, the scenic effects and costumes being
very acceptable. The engagement closed
last night to fair audience.

very acceptably. There was dancing, and
Rotations, and an elegant supper, with all
the good things which are in demand at
such time and at last, just at IL O'Clock,
steaming plates of delicious pancakes were
served with maple syrup. Everybody was
delighted and surprised, for after such a
bountiful supper no one expected pancakes,
but they were enjoyed, both for the associa-
ton and for their delicacy At late hour
everybody went home, feeling that forty

The Ne,c Drop Curtain at the opera House.


At II o'clock yesterday morning GLOBE
representative, by invitation of Manager
Scott, inspected the new drop curtain of the
Grand Opera house. The curtain was placed
in position for the first time yesterday morn
ing and inspected by Commodore Davidson,
Manager Scott, the artist Mr.. w. P. Davis
and a couple of newspaper men. AT the
hour named the electric lights were turned
on and the full beauty of the new drop was
exposed to view.
The design is oriental, and the idea has
been beautifully executed.
The scene represented by the picture
which occupies the center foreground is from
Moore's poem of Lalla Rookh. The eye is
first directed to the royal barge, which is rep
resented with set sail and flying pennons as
it enters the enchanted vale of Cashmere
where the princess is to meet her royal lover.
On the deck of the barge is the princess and
suite, while in the background may be seen
the glittering palaces and towers
of Cashmere, with steeples and minarets.
The picture is done in grays and the effect is
therefore subdued, it evidently being the in
tention of the artist to compliment the rich
and beautiful effects of the draperies at the
sides The effect here is beautiful and strik-
ing in the extreme. First may be mentioned
the fiuted arch which encloses the full-length
picture of the barge as if in a medallion. The
arch is moonish in design and
is supported by nfour columns on either side
at the base of the columns are blocks of
marble surmounte byd tripods which to carry
out the oriental effect, eXhall perfume.
At the sides are rich and magnificent
draperies which fall in graceful folds, being
done in colors of green, scarlet and gold !;
the draperies are ornamented
with band or border of red, green and gold
plush. The effect is sumptuous and indie
scribably rich, the artist having seemed to
lavish his utmost opulent powers in the col
ors of the draperies. and the combination is
harmonious flo degree. This magnificent
accessory to the beautiful temple of Thespis
gives finishing touch and a look of com
pleteness to the house hitherto wanting. AS
said the curtain was painted by Mr.. W. P.
Davis, a young artist whose services were
procured by Messrs. Beck e. Rank of this
city The new drop will be seen by the pub
lie for the first time next Wednesday night
on the occasion of the performance of the
''Pirates of PenZance" by the Saltwater
Choral union.

Cor Ramsey And The Norman Sister.

The following kindly, and very flattering
mention of the Hon. Alexander Ramsey, of st.
Paul, is from the Salt Lake Tribune: We
regret to see the indications that are observa-
BILE in the article, that our distinguished
townsman is departing from those ''paths of
rectitude and virtue, - that was so vigorously
inculcated by the order of the Sons of Malta,
when his Execllency was so tenderly and
considerably initiated. That commission
was dangerous place to put the tender and
respectable gentleman who brought the first
oysters to Minnesota, and his best friends
had serious fears of the result when they saw
the announcement made of the governor
appointment. If he comes through without
the smell of fire upon his garments we will
all rejoice over the result, and pray that his
frieD is may never again be subjected to
such a strain upon their fears The following
is the Tribune article referred to:
4 few days ago an elderly gentleman, with a
very fatherly and kind look about him, was
saunterng along Brigham street, enjoying the
bracing air and scenery round about. AS he
approached the Bee Hive house, Brigham
Young's old residence, an elderly lady
with a loose wrapper and disheveled hair
ran out and grabbing the old venerable-looll-
ing gentleman by the arm, calculated, ooh
Brother Taylor, how glad am to see you
How well you are lookingl" The white
haired old gentleman thanked her for the
compliment, and said yes, he was feeling
very well indeed. The good sister continued
tits been nearly three years, Brother Tay-
lor. since l was this close to you, and it
makes me so happy to think that you are
still here to lead us to salvation and glory"
The reverential looking individual
paused a moment, and looking visit
fully into those submissive eyes, said:
"And do you think 1 am a good Mormon,
sister!'' Think, Brother Taylor, :" respond

The Worthington advance. [volume] (Worthington, Minn.) 1874-1908, 1884-08-28

Thu public press commenls a late de-
cision ofJudge Brewer, the new Judge of
the United States circuit court, in the
Maxwell land grant fraud in Colorado.
The details show that by fraudulent and
imaginary landmarks and boundaries
the public lands werebrought within the
patent given the company, by false
statements of rivers, creeks and noun
tains as landmarks which had no exist
ence. The result was the capture Of over
million acres of most vluable land for
the company, which then oppressed the
settlers by threats of eviction if they
did not pay it large royalties and rents.
The results have been seen in frequent
conflicts between the parties ending in
bloodshed and sometimes loss Of lite.
Judge Brewer, in concluding his opinion
in the case, says: II do not think that
the surveyor general, the commissioner
of the general land office, the secre-
tsry of the United States, ar all together,
can give away public lands either direct
~ or indirectly; and when they have
executed instruments apparently con-
veying lands not granted by the con-
gress, the government can come into the
courts for relief" By this decision If
sustained by the Supreme Court, the
company loses nearly 2OO, 900 acres and
in New Mexico as much more.

Big Doses OF Phys1c.

The southern negro does not take
kindly to the pellets of the homeopa-
thist. He believes in the largest doses of
the old-school practice, and will toss oil
tumberful of castor with smack
of the lips. Even glass OF salts and
SIENNA will be swallowed with gusto.
while bolus is taken without a mo-
ment's hesitation. An Englishman, who
hunted in the Soudan says that nothing
gives all African savage greater pleasure
than a good dose of medicine. He
found his medicine chest more useful
in making the negroes friendly than his
revolver and breech- loading rifle.
But the medicine must be strong and
rapid in it's effects For the savage is
too impatient to wait several hours for
the medicine to operate, and too much
influenced by his sight and taste to be
satisfied with small dose. He is never
SO happy as when lie has taken good
dose of croton- oil and colocynth, or four
or five grains Of tartar emetic |.
Holloway's pills were as popular in
the Soudan rs in London and the sports
man found that the more liberal he was
with these powerful cathartics, the
more willing were the natives to serve
him. Whenever he opened his medi-
cine-chest, the natives respected him as
great medicine man." The more he
physicked them, the better they liked
it, But willing as they were to be doc
tored internally, not one of them would
submit to an operation with the knife,
