The party who builds a cyclone
covert must necessarily be q timid,
cautious person at best. Minnesota has
had two cyclones in generation, which
covered an area all told of less than half
of township. Now there are in Mime

averaging less than fifty persons resident
on each, not including the large cities.
Then the chances in Minnesota Of getting
killed or hurt by cyclone, outside the
large cities, is one, in every hundred gene

death is one hundred times greater than
that to be killed or injured by cyclone.

The first political gun of the Presi-
Dental contest of 1884 was fired by the
Anti Monopolists at their National con-
vention held at Chicago, Wednesday,
May IA, when they put in nomination
Gen. B. F. Butler. The convention was
not numerously attended, numbering on
ly 100 active delegates. The platform
was, for the most part, a simmer of
generalities, and contained but little in
the line of practical reform that is not
being carried out by the Republican
party. In its resolutions it goes no
farther in the matter of free trade than
the Democratic party. Doubtless the
real purpose Of the convention was to put
Butler in position to compete for the
Democratic nomination in July.

CHRISTINE NILSSON,

The musical event of the season will be
the grand musical festival given by the
Philharmonic Association at Minneapolis,
beginning June 10. The center of attrac-
ton will be the singing by Christine
Nilsson, the celebrated Swede vocalist.
The Scandinavians have rendered her a
grand reception and banquet for Monday,
June 9, which she has signifed her inten-
ton to accept. As this will be her first
visit to Minnesota, she will be assured of
an immense ovation in which not only her
countrymen will participate en- masse,
but the general public will delight to do
her honor. Already arrangements are
being made in many of the larger towns
of Minnesota and Wisconsin to attend
the festival, where there are large Scan.
dinavian populations. The festival will
be held in the University Colosseum now
being built for this purpose. tits thought
the rush will be so great as to exceed the
capacity of even this immense structure.

The Way to Cure the Bite.

A prominent Eastern physician is au-
thority for the following simple and, he
says, effective prescription: I'm case of
the bite of venomous serpent and bite
or sting of poisonous insect, one of the
first things to be resorted to is to suck
the wound with the lips"
The beauty Of this remedy is It's sim
plicity. If a gentleman, while quietly
walking along through dense cluster of
dog fennel or Crimson" W eeds, should be
bitten by rattlesnake On the calf of his
pedestrian appendage, all he need do to
prevent violent death would be to sit
down on a mole hill, pull up the lower
extremity Of his trowsers, draw himself
into the shape of letter z, then elevate
the wounded part to his lips, and proceed
to extract the poison. If he be reclining
on tuft of greensward with his head res
ting on the root of decaycd stump and
water mOccasin should strike him on
the back, he would only have to try to
shoulder himself, let the extremities
come in close contact, apply his tobacco
stained lips, make an effort like he was
trying to disengage his tongue from an
icy wagon wheel, and the danger would
pass.
Should lady, resting her weary body
against a majestic oak overgrown with
wild honey be bitten on the back
Of the neck by huge spider she has only
to remove her furbelowed cellar, Olsen
gage the invisible net that holds in posi-
ton the frizZed bangs. uncoil mass of
artificial golden locks, dislocate her
swan like neck, make a pass as though
she were stealing kisses over the garden
wall, and the horrors of an untimely
death would be averted. Or should she
be peering into the crevices of crystal
lied rock and tarantula or rainbow
hued lizard should insert it's deadly
fangs into her nasal organ, she need only
elevate those ruby lips and make few
efforts like suction pump, and the fears
of death with all its dreaded results
would vanish like the tiny feathers on a
butter1y's wings when a cyclonei is ruth
lessly carrying death and destruction on
its pinions.

THE FINANCIAL,CYCLONE.

Not only are the elements in state of
marked perturbation about these times,
but financial affairs have their tempests.
The community was startled first by the
colossal failure of the aristocratlc firm of
Grant & Ward, and the: Marine Bank.
Then came the embarrassment of the
Northwestern Car Company at Saltwater.
Last week the detonation of falling
fortunes became louder and louder as the
news of the financial reverses in Wall
street were telegraphed over the land last
Wednesday,. The panic on stock ex-
change was the most disastrous known
since 1878. The Metropolitan bank sus-
pended, seven broker firms failed. and
values deprecated to- the extent of tens
Of millions. The severity of the storm is
evident from the fact that firms known to
be reliable and sound, were swept away
in the general ruin-the Metropolitan
bank had $4,000,000 surplus, $4,000, 900
in deposits, and $40, OO0, 900 in loans, was
notable instance Also Fisk s. Hatch,
dill Olu du(l ICllitDlc u UlOhCIS. LIS
financial catastrophe threatens to disturb
to some extent the financial equilibrium
of the country, and yet on the other hand
it may be said that no disaster has be-
fallen any business house, in the real
sense of that term. After all, these COM
motions have arisen on account of the
speculative mania. The losses will fall
entirely upon the spectators in stocks.
We are glad to note that the financial dis
asters in the east have produced scarcely
a ripple upon the calm surface of our
monetary affairs in the northwest. Our
finances are in healthy state and under
the direction of safe and able financiers
We have little to fear from this temporary
check to the wild spirit of speculation
which prevails in Wall street.
The Metropolitan bank, its specializing
president having resigned, has resum ed
business, and it may be said that the
panic has practically ceased, and conf
dence is in large measure restored
