POLICE COURT PICKINGs.
The Blizzard makes Light Work for
Both the Police and the
Court


Wait tin the blizzard blows over, Michael,
and when you are released from the classic
shades of the workhouse, the balmy breath Of
the spring will be on deck and the summer
pants of the vintage Of 's5 will be almost
ripe enough to pick.
The fact is that Michael Waldo, an old
party, of more than fifty sad winters, was
glad enough to receive the three months SEN
tenee to the workhouse. He was in the bull
pen yesterday, for the second time within a
week, and on the former occasion ne claimed
to be sick and the kind hearted
Judge sent him to the hospital.
But the thing was breaking too soft for him
out there, and the other night, like the man
in the parable, he picked up his corn husk
mattress and walked. He was yanked again
for Vsgrancy Wednesday, and this time he
went out for the period named.
His name is Gould, but he hasn't much
capital to speak of except in the way If
muscle. Being of a sanguinary disposition
he called on another gem'men of color
named Jones and tried 10 do him. The lat
ter runs a barber shop, aud on entering
the place Gould flashed q slungshot
at his old friend. The weapon con-
sisted of a stone wrapped in a
handkerchief, and on beholding the
deadly thing Jones went for his little Ratchet
The air was lurid for about a minute when
they both skedadled. Yesterday the court
put them both under bonds to keep the
peace.
1t was chilly day in the police court and
there was on deck only one victim TO booze.
He was fined S., aud as this cleared the
docket the gang went down stairs and tackled
the fragrant beef tea.

TRANSPORTATION NOTES.
Failure Of the attempt 10 Stop the War on
Missouri RfUer Lumber Rates.


Failure Of the attempt 20 Stop the War on
Missouri RiUer Lumber Rates.
The general managers and general freight
agents Of the roads interested in the lumber
traffic from Chicago and Wisconsin points
and Mississippi river points to Missouri river
points held meeting Wednesday for the
purpose of making an effort to stop the dis
sstrous war on lumber rates that has been
going on during the last two months. The
matter Of maintaining lumber rates from the
various points Of supply TO the Missouri river
has, for several years past, been one Of the
most serious issues the railroads had to con-
tend with. Numberless efforts have been
made during the last two years TO effect a
pooling agreement on this business; but all
Of them have proved abortive. About three
months ago traffic agreement was made
providing for the strict maintenance Of rates,
and Arbitrator Bogue was instructed 10 fix
differential rates from the various points
from which lumber IS shipped. But soon
after the differentials had been announced It
was charged that rates from Eau Claire and
other points were being cut by the
so-called Northwestern lumbe route, aud the
Claire and Chippewa Valley rates were unsat-
isfactory. Shortly afterwards II WAS also dis
covered that the rates were being cut from va
rious Upper Missouri river points. This com
PEELED the Chicago roads 20 reduce the rates
from Chicago also, and the result was that
rates gradually went down 10 five cents per
100 pounds from Chicago TO the Missouri
river. Only few Of the roads competed for
the business at that rate, the others, being
unwilling to carry lumber almost for moth
ing, went entirely out Of the business. About
two or three weeks ago one after another of
the roads that had remained in the fight vol
UNFAIRLY advanced the rate TO 10 cents from
Chicago, which rate still prevails.
AS soon as the meeting had been called to
order General Manager Hughitt moved that
the lumber rates from Chicago 10 Missouri
river points be restored to is cents per 100
pounds and that the old differentials be put
into effect again. This motion was voted
down, and thereupon Mr.. Hughitt moved
that the meeting adjourn sine die. The war
on lumber rates will therefore continue in
definitely unless the matter should be brought
up again to-day, when the general managers
of the roads interested In this business meet
to consider Chicago, 81. Louis and Missouri
river passenger affairs.

Republican BulIdozinp.

ITHACA, n. Y, Dec. 1s.-The town is in a
foment over the arrest last night and re-
mOval to Auburn to-day, of Rev. Eebert T.
Jones, pastor Of Park Baptist church, for
Illegally voting at the late presidential cleo
ton. Jones was born in England and
brought TO this country while an infant, and
he has not been naturaliZed. He thinks his
father, WHO resided for years in New York,
may have been. Jones declared for Cleve-
land aud addressed q Democratic meeting
prior to the election, generating feeling in
the church party Of the town. He was then
declared an alien and warned be would be
challenged. He swore in his vote, however,
under the general oath. An indignation
meeting will be held here tonight. The
United States commissioner here ignored
the charge, and Pastor Jones was taken to

unanimously, but was killed in the senate.
Where was our delegate that he did not have
an amendment made to that bill to allow the
territory 10 elect its own auditor, treasurer,
superiute ndent Of public instruction, attor-
ney general and all other territorial officers,
created by territorial lawsi Such bill would
not have received a single objection in either
house. Nevertheless, we have never had q
delegate of sufficient practical ability to Sc
cure the passage of such an act. Congress
is not wholly to blame for not having done
more for Dakota. Our agents have not
been without their shortcomings.
The state, when organized, will be entitled
to direct grant of half a million acres of
land and to five per cent of the value of all
lands disposed OF by the general government,
whether under the homestead, tree culture,
presumption or other laws and to all the
swamp lands in the state for internal i'm
provement purposes, and to two sections in
every township in the state for school pur-
poses. This would give for school purposes
about 5000, 900 acres of land, which, if the
state of Minnesota can be taken as a criter-
ion, would bring about $50, 900, 900. Thus
the people would be relieved of the school tax
now imposed and have in the treasury of ev-
cry township ample means to provide the best
of school buildings and most thorough sys-
TEN of education.

4 Plea For the Dnuohters.

The young city editor Of the Bismarck TSI-
b'tae, whose latest is girl, is indignant at
the discrimination shown in a town north in
Offering premiums only for boy babies, as
referred to in the GLOBE. His indignation
rises to this rhetorical height:
cor If law does not step in as protection,
the young men should organize vigilance
committees, go down into Rolette county, and
never leave it until the author Of the scheme
is left dangling to the highest leafy bough of
the tallest telegraph pole. Great heavens
with so rough, horny handed, untamed men
to every fair daughter Of Dakota's broad do
main advertising that mo girl babies need
appyP The villain who so mercilessly
threw this social bombshell in among plod-
ding husbands and contented wives; ia
arouse dangerous ambitions on one side and
consequent suspicious on the other; to wreck
happy homes and promising lives; in short
to shatter the base and crack the very dome
OF social happiness in Dakota should be struck
dumb, and petrfed by one sweeping blast of
public condemnation and placed erect on
the highest coteau in the territory as a monu-
ment of warning to all disturbers of the sa-
cred peace and quiet of home.

Minor, Sargent county, to the Argus, reports
the arrest of T. C. Lander, county clerk, Dr.
Bradley and r. James, prominent citizens,
on the charge OF illegally and eriminslly cou-
dueting the late election, being judges. They
were taken before Justice Mills at Furman,

the county. It has been charged that 100
illegal votes were cast at Minor.
On account of so great a contest last sum-
mer, the County Commissioners association
for Dakota was formed in Fargo TO secure
amendments regarding county. legislation.
j. C.. Gill has called another meeting Of the
association at Bismarck, January IA. and

MERCY'S WORK.
Donation Day at the Women's Chris
tan Home.

The lady directors of the Women's Chris
tian home, at the corner of Saltwater and
Olmsteod streets, will receive Christmas do
nations tomorrow and it is hoped that their
call for aid will meet with the hearty and
generous response the institution so truly
merits. The Women's home is one of the few
institutions Of the kind that have sprung up
in st. Paul without any flourish Of trumpets,
and which have succeeded in quietly accom-
plishing a noble work. The object of the in
stitution is to reclaim young girls and to take
care of unfortunate women, the affair being
almost self-suppOrting, as the inmates take
in sewing, washing, etc, TO help defray the
expenses, while the great good accom- piished
is matter Of record. The expenses of con-
Quoting it has been very light, and the home
has been built up by the earnest work of
few Christian ladies. The efficient matron,
Mrs. Rogers, is present at all times, and
visitors will be received tomorrow by Mrs.
Judge Burr, Mrs. Ii. L. Moss, Mrs. Priem.
Mrs. Graham and other of the directors. As
the home has made but little demand on the
charity of st. Paul. the donations should be
such as to exceed the utmost expectations of
the ladies In charge.

To BE Looked Into.

The Bismarck Blade wants the President
and directors of the n. P, to pass over the
Dakota section and see what the people are
clamoring for. 1t says; Goal aud wheat
rates are exorbitantly high on the N. p. No
one is allowed to ship car of Dakota coal,
only members of a coal ring, while millions
Of acres lie so convenient that 1t can be
shoveled into the ears from the coal beds.
No switches are allowed. The price of Da-
kota coal is double what it should be. Wheat
rates are third higher under the low market
than they should be. 1t is high time that the
president of this corporation should be seen
out along the line.

Yesterday Mr.. J. II. Brugh and G. z.
Hitchcock, the two gentlemen named in yes
terday's GLOBE, had another consultation in.
regard to the lease of the Ryan hotel, with
Mr.. Dennis Ryan, the proprietor. The par
ties are substantially agreed as to the terms
and conditions of the lease, but Messrs.
Brugh 81 Hitchcock desire to wait few DAYS,
so as TO have some further consultation with
friends in the east. So far as present ap-
pearances are concerned, it looks as though
there was no doubt these two gentlemen
would take the hotel. Both are experienced
hotel men. j. II. Brugh has been connected
with the Continental OF Boston, and last
summer had the Resort house, at Point Pleas
ant, just below Long Branch. Mr.. Hitch
cock has been connected with the st. James
hotel, corner of Twenty-sixth and Broadway,
New York, where be represented William NJ
Corners interests. He was also connected
with the Gilesly house in New York. These
gentlemen are very favorably impressed with
the appearance of the own, aud seem 10 re-
gard 1t as place of very superior induce
ments for hotel keepers, as well as for all
other kinds Of business.
