Paul j. Mohr, who is interested in the
Spokane water power, was at the Northern
Pacific endeavoring to interest certain parties
in the company he is connected with. the
water power at Spokane is one of the finest
in the country. There is a series of falls
ard cascades extending for miles above and
below the town site. \ good part of the
rights have been secured by syndicateS. and
some Is held by the Northern Pacific Very
little of this power is yet utilized for build
ing or manufacturing purposes, although
quite thrifty little town has sprung up
about the falls. MeSSrs. Browne Wilson,
we'll known local bankers at Spokane, were
in Minneapolis some time since endeavor-
ing TO interest Minneapolis millers and
capitalists in this power. Inasmuch as
Minneapolis millers could not move the
power 10 the No. 1 hard territory, they did
not buy it. Eventually this power will be
utilized in the manufacture of lumber and

TIE EXPosTTIoN PRoJECr.

In an interview with the GLOBE this
morning. Mr.. CLARKE, president of the
state agricultural board. gives valid reasons
why the coming state fair should not be
stretched into am exposition. Leaving all
other considerations out of view. the time
is too short, if it were wise to make the eX
pertinent. to attempt 10 hold an eXpOsi-
ton. What we want to do this
year is to have a booming good
fair. All arrangements have been
made for that, and everything gives prom
Use of a splendid success. y change in
plans at this date would materially injure
the prospects of the fair without possible
hope OF succeeding as an exposition. 1t is
always best to let well enough alone.
Whenwe have had good fair this year. as
we surely will have, we then will
see the benefits of its prestige
to aid us i'm an exposition next
year. BY commencing in time and
having all the plans to tit nicely there is no
apparent reason why an exposition may not
be made a success in the future But for
the present it does seem that the directors of
the State Fair association should be content
to enjoy the prospect now before them.

GRIMES AND CASUALTIES.
Wholesale Poisoning.

VALPARAISO, Ind, Aug. Sat Porter
Station, village of 800 inhabitants twelve
miles from this city, in the extreme north
western part of this county, an epidemic il
raging which in the last three days has car
ried off five persons. leaving fifteen danger
ously i'll and about twenty-five others of
whose condition the doctors cannot speak
with any degree Of certainty. The people
of the valley are mostly Swedes of cleanly,
thrifty habits, and until the present cpl
demic broke out amongst them they have
been remarkably healthy. About ten days
ago the first symptoms of the scourge made
their appearance and manifested themselves
in vomiting and diarrhetic discharges The
doctors were at loss as to the cause, and
were at a loss to prescribe any remedies to
alleviate the sufferings of the patients.
The afflicted stated they felt a sort of
leaden weight in the stomach and bowels,
which quickly changed to the vOmit-
ing and discharges. A remarkable
popularity observable in those who
have already succumbed is that, while
they retain clear consciousness to the
last, yet the eyes give forth a wild ex-
preston, and the general appearance of the
cOuntenance conveys the idea of insanity.
The most powerful drugs fail to even tenn
porarily check the discharges. Porter is
supplied with meats by the butchers
of ChestertOwn, one mile east Investiga-
ton has revealed that one meat shop there
has not been kept in healthy condition,
the night watch having stated that on few
occasions he could hardlypass the door from
the unpleasant Odors emitted, while a doc
tor of the town, who few days ago en-
tered the cooling-room, asserted that never
did he experience worse odor in college

people of Porter, it is said that it was the
proprietor of this market who supplied
them with the bulke of their meats. The
poison which has caused the deaths so far
is OF an alkaloid nature. The following
are the deceased: Mrs. Trowe, aged so;
John PlaSon, aged IS; August Gustafson,
aged 10, and two children under 10 years.
The case appears to be similar to that
which occurred recently at Momence. Ill.

Broke His Vows.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 5.-No. 10 Dean
avenue, the residence of Rev. r. N. COun-
tee, colored pastor of the Tabernacle Bap-
list church and manager of 1.-THE Saving
Way" was suddenly surrounded yesterday
by about two hundred masked negroes, who
fired yOlley after volley of bullets into the
building. Loud calls were made for Mr..
COuntee, but he failed to appear. The ne
gro porter fired his pistol at the mob and
managed to escape. Countee has been a
member of one of the secret societies, but
resigned and began denouncing them. The
members of this society take an oath not to
divulge the secrets on penalty of having
their scalps removed and their brains ex-
posed to the eye of the scorching sun.
COuntee is said to have made himself liable
to this rule.

OUR SHIP HAS COME HOME.

The safe arrival at Tacoma last night
of the bark Isabel, laden with a cargo of
tea from Yokohama, Japan. consigned TO
st. Paul by way of the Northern Pacific,
marks an important epoch in the CONNER
cial history of this city. 1t introduces ST.
Paul as a competitor for valuable trade,
and is the beginning of an era which estab-
fishes this city as the tea emporium of the
Northwest including all the country west
of Detroit to the Pacific coast. IL brings
the Northern Pacific forward as formida-
BILE competitor with the Union and Central
Pacific lines for the trade of the
Orient and the Occident. 1t is an
additional evidence OF the enterprise
of our jo5bers. In all respects. the arrival
Of the Isabel is an event of incalculabIe
importance TO St Paul. and is suggestive of
the wonderful possibilities which lie in the
pathway OF our commercial interests. There
is only one matter of regret connected with
the event. The barque Isabel. which is
our pioneer of a new commerce. sailed into
an American port under a foreign flag. In
this hour of our congratulation, how much
more our hearts would have exulted if the
announcement had been made that the ship
which came laden with the first cargo OF
our future commercial wealth had come
into port with the stars and stripes nailed
to her mast?

The Thomas cat his night time?
To scotch the wrinkled Inilkman joke
This is about the right time.
'Tis time the rusty front-gate joke
Were dead and gone, I'm thinking.

And kill them without winking.

For jokes may come and jokes may go,
But they go on forever.

THE MARKETS.

The principal feature of the stock market
was remarkable dizziness for part of the day,
and the stupid manipulation Of stocks by in
experts. The dizziness during the last part
Of the day has seldom been equaled. Prices
were very Irregular. The Gould stocks and
'Lackawanna led in the morning decline and
Northwestern in the afternoon advance. The
dizziness was so great late in the day that the
market closed without any decided tone.
Northwestern went up and down suddenly,
but finally closed with net advance of 11E
per cent. st. Paul fuctuated within a narrow
range and closed with an advance of a per
cent. Wheat was lower all around.

Rad MEAT.

The fatal effect of using tainted meat by
the people of an Indiana town should be n
warning 10 people of other localities. The
danger of impure meat being imposed upon
consumers at this season of the year is
greater than at other times. In the first
place cattle are more liable to disease in
the summer time than at other seasons of
the year. and there are plenty of people in
the live stock business who have no more
conscience than TO force their diseased beef
on the market In the next place, all
fresh meat handled at this season
must be packed on ice, and as
soon as it is removed from the ice
the processes of decay commence.
However sound the beef may be when
butchered. after it is subjected to the eff
fects OF artificial freezing il rapidly be-
comes impure when again exposed to warm
air. There is no more prolific source of
fatal diseases than bad meat. II is, there
fore. OF the utmost importance that proper
care should be taken by consumers that
when fresh meat is taken from the refrig-
orator it should be cooked Immediately and
not allowed to stand in warm place.
where it is sure TO rapidly pass into an i'm
pure state. This is cholera year, and all
the more precautions should be used Bad
meat is just as liable to produce cholera
as decayed fruit or rotten vegetables.

TIE ENGLTsH ELECTIONS.

The condition of the English parliament
tary world, pausing on the eve of election
by the country can be summed in few
words. The anticipated slip in the Con-
sentative camp has come, the political
bride of Lord SALISBURY is pOwerless to
curb the RANDOLPH CHURCHILL curvet-
ing, and the latter appeals to all the bet
ter and larger thinkers in the Conservative
fold. True, CHURcHm.L's speeches are
somewhat lacking in the substance and adj
ministrative power that will commend them
to the electoral platform: but that is a de-
tail; and they are, in digested form, the
only modus vivendi of his party. The con-
sevatism of port wine and inactiOn is dead.
and its modern outcome is found
in the line in which liberal con-
servatism has for the moment achieved
success. The attempt to capture
the Irish vote, the utter failure thereof,
after eating of much humble pie, the dis
gust of a large portion of his party at the
tactics so fatal to the stability OF COnserva-
tive rule, have weakened the electoral
chances of Lord SALISBURY to very grave
extent. The hope of Conservatives now
lies in an appeal to the country on a mod
ified program, embOdying the salient
points of Lord CHURcHILL's creed. fash
Toned, perhaps, on more qualified lines than
such wrestler as Lord RANDOLPH would
present them, but still instinct with the
advance of thought and with those
modern tactics which he has taught to his
fathers in the camp.
The Liberals are biding their time. They
can afford to wait. but one word from their
leader viii find them shoulder 70 shoulder

A NOTABLE PRECEDENT.

The memory of MARTHA WASHINGTON
Is being invoked in behalf of the PROPOSE
ton 10 have congress provide for the re-
moval of Gen. GRANTS remains from
New York to Washington. In 1888 the
Continental congress provided for the cree
ton of IAN equestrian statue of Gen.
WASHINGTON at the place where the resi-
dence Of congress shall be established"
The city of Washington was located in
1890 and occupied in 1900. At his death,
on December "a, 1879, congress resolved
for the erection by the United States at the
city of Washington of marble monument,
and that the family of Gen. WASHING
TON be requested to permit his body to be
deposited under it," This resolution was
sent 10 Mrs. WASHINGTON, 10 which she
replied: Taught by the great example,
which have so long had before me, never
to oppose my private wishes to the public
will, need not, cannot say. what a sac
rifice of individual feeling L make to a
sense of public duty" This incident af-
fords congress precedent to remedy the
inappropriate selection of Gen. GRANTS
burial place, and the patriotism exhibited
by MARTHA WASHINGTON is worthy the
consideration of those who have GRANTS
burial in charge.
