PETER PUNISHED
For Taking Pair of 0yershOes With
out Paying for Them-P0lice
PickinpS

''Some men," said the baiiff as the buns
were yanked into the bull pen yesterday,
''are noted for their style, some for their
shape. some for their manly beauty, some for
their wealth and the faculty they possess of
freezing onto it and some for their check
The latter are in the majority, and l suppose
as the majority rule there is no use kicking
about it, but for consummate, monumental,
frozen and Alpinian gall that fellow, Peter
Bastian, is entitled to lay over the deck. !"
The particular Peter alluded to was up on the
charge Of larceny, which consisted in
stealing three pairs of arctics from
in front of shoe store on Wabashaw street;
when arraigned he said that he didn't mean
to steal the shoes, but that he had seen a
sign over the door which read ''overshoes
given away" and this being the case he
thought he would cabbage a couple of pair.
He was sent to the bastie for ten days.
John Magraw was on a toot Wednesday
night, and after his courage had been
screwed to fighting pitch on turpentine bug
juice he tried to clean out the saloon
at the corner of Seventh and Rosabel
streets. He first tackled the proprietor, and
was getting along fairly, when Officer Larson
heard the racket and put him under arrest.
He was quite penitent yesterday and in the
view of this he was let down on payment of
a $40 fine.
VIM. Linsy and four other free lunch
workers were up for vagraucy, and they all
went to the quay for ten days.
In connection with the police court write
up yesterday it was stated that Otto Camp
bell, wood sawyer, had been fined $40 for
insulting Mr.. Cardozo and attacking his
mother-in-law; the fact is that he was fined
$50, the sum of $40 being RENTED by Judge
Nelson, that being all the money the wife OF
the prisoner possessed, while tie word
'mother-in-law" should have read brother
in-law,as that estimable lady was not present

NEW CITY LIMITS.
The Ramsey County Legislative Dele
CATION Agree Upon the Pro-
DOSeu Extension.

The Ramsey county legislative delegation
held a meeting yesterday afternoon, DR..
Murphy presiding, and Capt. German act
ing as secretary, at which the lines of the
territory to be taken into the city limits were
virtually agreed upon. According to this
decision the city will be extended on the
north to the east of Lake Como one mile,
and take in sections 10 20 aud 81, the south
half of %, and northeast quarter of section
2S. On the east, half mile, to include the
west half of sections 81, 81, 3 and 10, all Of
10 and % east of the Mississippi river in
Ramsey county. On the west it will absorb
sections %, 90, 90, 80, 33, and "a
of Rose, and sections 3, 4, and 5
Of Reserve, both going through to the
section 10, northern quarter of Is and north
half of IA to the river. By these lines the
poor farm donated to the state agricultural
society is retained in the county, the north
line of the extension run ming up to its south
line. Indeed, it takes in but little land but
what has been already plated. In the new
territory are the Harvester works on the east,
the State Reform school, Midway Stock farm,
Manchester college, Hamline university,
Merriam park, Union park, the transfer and
stock yards. The new property is to be ex.

delegation will finally pass upon the same,

TRANSPOR NOTES.

The ContnseTcidL Trareters' Tickets.
CHICAGO, Jan. 29.-The disagreement be-
tween wholesale merchants and railroads
concerning special tickets for commercial
travellers was put in fair way to adjustment
at the meeting of the subcommittee of the
Merchants association and a committee Of
the railroads to-day. 1t was agreed to have
prepared mileage ticket embodying the one
mile coupon feature of the old mileage
ticket and the journal feature of the new
mileage permit, the tickets to be sold to
and re bates adjusted with the merchants in
stead of with the travelling men.

The Justice Of the Thing.

A proposition is pending in congress te
repeal the presumption and timber culture
acts, retaining modified homestead, thus
limiting the farmer TO 100 acre.. In itself
considered, this is not Objectionable; but
when we couple it with the fact that congress
upholds a usuary system which is eating the
debtor farmer out of house and home. and
allows a lucky capitalist By legal connivance
TO own thousands Of acres, reserving The
same for speculation to the exclusion OF
actual agriculturalIsts, the policy Of abrdgc-
ment in the former case appears not only
unfair, but Is in short legislative villalny
Viewed as an abstract item, the agreement
Of eastern congressman that Gland will soon
be scarcc,' has real pth but when we real
ize that congress does not prohibit landlords
who live in Europe from buying up millions
Of acres, thus paving the way for an Ameri-
can feudallsm, It fails to convince men who
believe in a JeiTersOnlan law Of equal and
exact justice 10 all, -
When congress ceases to favor Gland
grabs" when it stamps out class legislation,
when 1t denies the rulership Of the great
monica monopoes. when ii puts up the bars
solid against the Sbylocks, when it excludes
monarchical foreigners from holding vast
plantations in the United States, when II
abrogAtes an exorbitant system OF interest
that about every ten years causes financial
panic, breeding untold suffering and demon
aization-then It Will be time TO curtail the
rights Of farmers.
But the gigantic swlndcs viii be allowed
and legally fostered. Doubtlessly home
stead right will remain to us. In that event,
we, Of The "Dorthwcst colonies, =" respectfully
ask congress TO so regulate the Law, that the
title to land shall inhcre with occupancy and
culture, and that the real merits Of the timber
culture act be Incorporated Herewith, requlr-
ing every homes;eader 10 plant and cultivate

To the Editor OF the Globe:
In your Sunday issue you speak of an ed

It will cost g. per day for sleepers aud at

per day, and adding 50 cents more for incl
dents, we have the cost az "a per day while.
on the cars. II will certainly cost not less at
any Of the hotels, including pin money, so
that we may safely say, the expense will
amount TO 81 per dsy FOR the round trip, and
II it takes fourteen days, the expense for this
alone will be $50; add for railroad fare, 500 /;

"Some people said they could not
