CAUGHT JUST IN TIME.
Two Prisoners Attempt To Escape
From Jail and DOn;t DO nc.

Milton Farrell and Ed Kennedy, two of
Sheriff Richter's boarders. will shortly know
the difference between high and low living.
Up 10 yesterday they enjoyed the full COM
forts of prison life, including full bill of
fare and canvas cots. To-day, and for the
next ten DAYS, they will know what it is TO
live on bread and water and sleep on the
downy side of a row of bricks. The sudden
change was brought about by an abortiye
attempt on the part of Farrell and Kennedy
to break Jail. which was discovered in the
very nick of time. These men since their
confinement, tone held for burglary and the
other for robbery. have been confined in
Cell on the left hand corridor of the up
per floor. The cells are all arched so that
above the point where the arches touch is
a vacant space Once in this the men could
climb around under the roof until the sky
light was reached, and from that
point lower themselves to the ground.
The wall is about eighteen inches
thick. but has ventilation hole about four
by six inches. With this as a start
ing point Farrell and Kennedy began turn
ing out the stones. They worked at night
and pinned a paper over the spot in the
day time Two days ago Jailer Davis
noticed the paper hanging at the side of the

Wednesday night the watchman heard
some peculiar sounds which he reported 10
Sheriff Richter yesterday. The sheriff sent
/ Deputy Sheriff Clewett and Jailer Davis TO
investigate, and in Cell they discovered
the work of Farrell and Kennedy.
The men had removed the stones
from hole about two and half feet in
| diameter and loosely placed them back
again TO keep them out of the road. Every
thing was in readiness for them to make
their escape last night. which they would
have done but for the timely discovery.
When confronted by the sheriff ali they
said was that they didn't want to stay there
and thought they'd try and escape.

WHAT Is 1T ?
Il Human Curiosity Exhibited OH
the Streets Yesterday

Chief of Police Clark's Office contained
curiosity yesterday afternoon. 1t was
counterpart of the son of HerInes and Aph-
rodite in its physical composition. but, ac-
cording to the Scriptural version of that
classical celebrity, it differed from that
mythical parsonage in its personal charm.
As it appeared yesterday it was a woman,
a colored one at that. clad in a steel drab
dress with large buttons, wore a plain
woman's hat and pair of drab gloves four
sizes too short in the fingers. Its features
were inclined to be masculine. but its voice
was characterized by that high. mellow
mildneSs Indicative OF femininity. The
curiOSity's visit TO the city hall was due to
the efforts of Officer Sullivan. Yesterday
afternoon number of persons came TO
him on his beat Fifth and Minnesota
streets, and told him that this party was
hermaphrodite. The officer didn't know or
care what that word meant, but when in
formed that it was floating around the other
day in mems clothes the officer concluded TO
escort the individual to the police station
and have the matter settled. This he did
While waiting the arrival of the chief a

The ST. Paul Boat Climb.

The lease was signed yesterday between
d. ID. Merrill and the st. Paul Boat club.
by which the latter secured 200 feet on
Raspberry island, directly to the east of the
Minnesota Boat club grounds, and the right
of way to that part of the island from the
Wabasha street bridge; also from the rail-
road bridge for the next ten years and a
half. The rental is 81, for the whole
period. The surveyor will go upon the
island to-day TO locate the house. and as
soon as this is done, work on the structure
will be begun. The club is in very satisfac-
tory condition, there being 50. 600 i'm the

THE TEMPERANCE CAUSE.
\ Lecture by the state President
Of the w. G. TIL.

\ Lecture by the state President
of the w. G. T.U.
Last evening Mrs. Hobart, state president
of the w. G. L. u. delivered. at the lecture
room of the Jackson Street NJ. L. church. a
very interesting temperance lecture to 4
small audience. She acclaimed very strongly
against allowing foreigners to come over
here by the ten thousand and open saloons
and vote within a short time after their ar
rival, and insisted that the law ought TO be
amended in some way to require them to
reside here longer before they be allowed to
vote. These people go into the liquor
business here. she said. and into politics.
They become rich, influential and
powerful, and i'm some degree con-
troll the legislation of the country.
They come here by the ten thousand every
year, feeding upon the community and ruin
ing our people; and still we allow il 10 go
on. Why is it that we have not done some
thing? For fifty years you have formed
temperance associations. but what have You
accomplished? The liquor dealers all over
the land are running men, women and
children. The Lord calls on us 10 come up
and do something. He calls upon Us TO
overthrow the great evil and TO save our
children and the people from this great
drink power.
The speaker drew some consolation from
the fact that two hundred thousand women
are on their knees daily praying for the
success of the temperance cause. and eX-
pressed some curiosity 10 know how Satan
feels when he sees that sight. and knows
that the women are labOring TO relieve
this land from this traffic. The whisky
sellers, she claimed. felt already the effects
of the work done by the WOman's Chris
tan Temperance union. and were conscious
that their doom was settled. The fact is,
she said. men fear the cholera, smallpox
and yellow fever and take all the precau-
tons possible TO avoid them, but all those
combined cannot equal this liquor traffic.
Nothing but want and misery comes from
this deteStable traffic. She declared that
men and the churches are Indifferent in re-
gard to it. Some ministers. she said. are
talking about the ScriptuTal use of
liquor, and the nutritive qualities
of liquor. This she condemned and wanted
an open declaration of war on their part
against the traffic. The traffic is worse
than the plague, worse than war, and yet
the traffic goes on. She urged all to fight
against the sale of intoxicating drinks, to
have Temperance taught in the schools and
generally to struggle 10 put down the evil.
The lecture was listened 10 with the closest
attention by the small audience and at its
conclusion the audience was dismissed with
the benedictiOn.

more active men in the world. Always on

sales here in one hotel, there in another,

these men become dyspeptic? 1t would be
strange if they did not.

1T CHICAUU.
Snecial to the Globe.
Here and in Dakotn.

Dakota Is now looming up not only as
our very vigorous neXt-dOOr neighboT. but
as a country possessing all the advantages
called for by the highest order of first-class
civilization. 1t is proved beyond doubt to
be healthy. Its soil produces exceptionally
excellent wheat. The people who live
there are no longer compelled to rough it as
the original pioneers did, but they find at
their very doors almost every article they
want to buy. including not only the useful
but the ornamental. In fact. you can now
buy in the towns of Dakota pretty much
everything from a ploughshare for the
plough to bunch of artificial feathers for
Your wife's bonnet. Who would have
thought ten years ago that this would be
practicable now? Or vino would have
thought dozen years ago that a large house
in ST. Paul, exclusively devoted to the sale
of millinery and millinery adOrnments, could
pay its way?
Well, strange as it may seem, here is the
establishment OF T. j. Schultz, the dealer
in millinery. hair and fancy goods, and
manufacturer of pattern hats and bOnnets
for the ladies. This store, at So East Third
street, is not only busy with the traffic of
the st. Paul ladies, but it reaches out into
Dakota and even beyond. and supplies the
wants OF the ladies in that rapidly growing
region.
Calling at SchultZ's few mornings ago
met Mr.. Simon Well, who travels for the
house in this state and also in Dakota. He
was just about TO set out on Dakota Jour
ney to supply the storekeepers with the
new styles in ornamental head-gear. Mr..
We'll says the demand for this sort of goods
is quite as lively as in the older states, and
is pleasing evidence of the taste and re-
tinement of the sturdy settlers who are
filling up the farms of Dakota
Nobody would suppose to look at such q
cheerful and hearty gentleman as Mr. We'll
that he had not very long ago been victim
of the tOrments OF dyspepsia. Yet it was
even so.
Il inherited dyspepsia from my parents, 4"
said Mr.. We'll. Il was born in Austria. I
had dyspepsia more or less during all the
| days of my youth. Since | have been In
this country i have had to travel a great
/ deal. and you know that means irregular
meals, irregular sleep and everything diff
ferent from the regularity of home life.

me an act of tribulation."

claims also that he signed McFadden'S bail
bond. He intereeded with the judge to fix
a lower bail for Chandler, who was impli-
Gated in the same crime, on account of the
poverty Of Chambers wife, but has always
insisted on the prosecution and punishment
OF McFadden. and intends TO carry through

THE COMMISSIONS TRIP.
Inspecting the Hastings & Dakota
--Light Wheat Crops.


--Light Wheat Crops.
The railroad commissioners returned yes
terday from their inspection trip over the
Hastings & Dakota division Of the Milwau-
kee road. They stopped at each station
from Benton Junction TO 0rtonville, and
besides examining stations and other mat
tiers pertaining to the road held conferences
with farmers and business men on the new
grain and railroad laws. Meetings were
held at Glencoe on Tuesday evening and at
OTtonville Wednesday, both of which were
well attended, and at which there was
general discussion of the law. The farm
erS were in every instance satisfied with the
grades and the inspection rules, and had no
complaints. Gen. Baker said he had paid
especial attention TO the wheat crop and be-
lieved 1t would be light yield. Such was his
impression from talks with farmers and his
observation. ~ should say" said he, THAT
the average yield per acre for the section
of the state we passed through would be
about eleven bushels, and that is a bit too
high an estimate, possibly. There were
fields where the wheat was unusually fine
and the yield heavy. but they were not the
rule. The light crop is due, l think, TO the
hot weather. Gen. Baker said he had gone
into nearly all the elevators along the road
and looked at the new wheat where it had
begun 10 come in. 1t was of a good milling
grade all. or nearly all. of il. 1t was the
expression of farmers that the present law,
If not perfect, was i'm the right direction,
and everybody seemed willing TO test il
fairly before making criticisms. If it did
not work satisfactorily they would instruct
their representatives tovOte for amendments
necessary. The commissioners Will go next
Tuesday on an inspection trip over the Wi
mona * St. Peter road.
