S MYSTERIOUS AS EVER.
Light on the Dark Tragedy Shining Very
Dimly.
No Truth in the Alleged Attempt to
Lynch Booking and Heffner.
General saltwater siftings-Drowned
In the Lake.
No New Cline


Yesterday brought no new developments
in the Farmers Home tragedy 1t is still a
mystery in every aspect. While Blocking
and Heffner are believed to be the parties
wanted, no additional clue has been found
that will convict them as far as has been
learned up to the time of this writing. The
GLOBE expected to have obtained this
morning information that would throw con-
siderable new light on the affair. The in
quest examination which begins at the city
hall at 9 o'clock will, it is thought, throw
additional new light on the dark transac-
ton. The reason the inquest was adj
journed from Tuesday till Saturday was to
give the parties engaged in ferreting out the
matter time to get in more work, as they
had new clue. The result Of this exam
nation is awaited for with considerable in
terest. The man who came over from st.
Paul on the Duluth road, and to the train
men said that he was with Hoslf on Friday
afternoon and knew all about the shooting,
was pointed out to the police yesterday.
They Immediately confronted him. when
he denied having ever made any such a
statement. This man is said to have disap
peared yesterday. The way he came to
mention the matter to the train men was
THIS: lie said he had been on tear,
was broke and wanted them to
GIVE HIM SOME MONEY
to pay for lodging that night at the Farm
ers' Home. They told him he had better
stay away from there or he would get shot.
'Ah, L was with Hosli and know all about
that business, etc." was his answer. The
train men became interested and questioned
him closely. He said he knew enough
about it and the less he said the better it
would be for him, and refused to say any
thing further
Hosli's sack has been found at last, but
does not throw any new light on the mys-
terry. 1t was found at the Duluth depot,
where ne had left it on Friday about p.
H.. when he probably intended to return
to Taylor's Falls The officers had visited
the depot several times, but it seems that it
had been overlooked. The report that a
moo was organized on Wednesday night to
lynch Booking and Hetfner was made out
of whole cloth. The authorities do not ap-
prehend anything of this kind. The people
here are laW-abiding people and would not
do anything of this kind. They will be
given fair trial no matter whether they
are guilty or not. Blocking, Hetfner and
Lukinger still disclaim any knowledge
whatever of the murder. The two former
still say that they had nothing against

A THRIFTY NEWSPAPER.

Among all the improvement which have
recently appeared in our exchanges there is
none more creditable than that exhibited by
the Omaha Herald. 1t has been enlarged,
and wears beautiful new dress. We are
gratified to observe these indications of
prosperity on the part of our Nebraska
neighbor. Omaha is quite thrifty little
town in Nebraska, but the Herald is now a
good deal bigger than the town. In fact,
it blooms out in a way that throws many of
the so-called metropolitan newspapers into
the shade, The Herald has always been in
the lead in pushing Nebraska interests, and
if Omaha will only grow up to its boss
newspaper it will become mighty city.

AN EVERY NIGHT OCCURRENCE.
1t was BoBBIE BURNS who paid the
glowing tribute to the inspiring effects of
JOHN BARLYCoRN that he made us 'o'er
all the ills of life victorious" but it was
left to PAT DOMAIN to tell what heavenly
visions come with the inspiration of a few
glasses of champagne when drunk in the
vicinity of Devils lake. The old-time
tradition of snakes, which follow in the
wake of midnight revels, are knocked
higher than kite when the revels occur in
what Col. DOMAIN calls the GLORIOUS,
golden Dakota land" Instead of snakes
and horned. eloven-footed demons there
are lunar rainbows and prismatic wonders
bathing the nightly skies in dazzling radi-
ance. 1t is of one of these rare manifesto
lions of the divine handiwork, as he calls
it, that Col. DOMAIN recently wrote de-
scription for the New York Sun. The
scene is laid by the poetic writer at Lake
Minnewaukon, or Strange Spirit waters. but
which the Dlasphemous palefaces of the
frontier call Devils lake. The hour is
midnight, and stealing away for awhile
from the wild revelry which the boys are
having up at the tavern the poet of the
prairieS slips off to the lakes edge, and as he
sits and looks out over the mirror of gleam-
ing ice vision of transcendent glory and
sublimiJy presents itself. No one else

COMMERCIAL BAROMETER.


The United States consul at Lyons has
made the singular discovery that cham
payne is the commercial barometer of the
world, and according to present baromet-
rical indications this country is to have an
unparalleled era of prosperity during the
coming year. To be sure, there is great
deal of comfort in Consul FRIoBIE's dis
covery, and we would dislike to cast a
damper OIL the rejoicing which will natur-
ally follow from it. But we fear that there
is one thing that the consul has left. out of
his calculations. He has made no estimate
Of the crab apple crop. nor does he indicate
how far the substitution of crab cider for
champagne affects the champagne market.
Those who have given the subject careful
study have observed that American impor-
tation Of champagne has always been
largely affected by the apple crop at home.
When there is good supply of cider bot
tied up and labeled champagne the impor-
tation is light. 1t may be that there has
been failure in the crop this season. At
least this fact ought to be determined be-
fore we take too much stock in the cham
payne barometer theory.

WINNIPEG, Man., Dec. 10.-Riers re-
mains were brought here last night from
Regina in a private Car in charge of two
Catholic priests. Great difficulty was ex-
perienced with Gov. Dewdney in procuring
the body. 1t was not known here that the
body was coming and there was no one at
the station to meet it and consequently no
demonstration. A separate engine was
hitched to a car at the station here and it
was run across the river to St. Boniface.

number of half-breeds We're in waiting with
sleighs to receive it. They placed it on one
sleigh and drove it to his mothers
home at st. Vital, where all the family and
relatives were in waiting to receive it. The
mother and wife's grief knew no bounds
when the body was carried in The box
was opened, disclosing the face somewhat
blackened and slightly aisfgured. The
body was washed and dressed before being
exposed. The old home was heavily
draped in black. The funeral will take
place Saturday. The body will be brought
to st. Boniface cathedral and a grand re-
QUEEN mass celebrated. The body will
then be inferred by the side of his father in
st. Boniface Catholic cemetery.

About midnight a vast, weird mass of heecy
oud swept slowly up from the horizon, a
floating island of supernal snow in glowing
sapphire sea. 1t drifted on till, enveloping
the moon, she peeped out from behind it like
fair girls face through bridal veil. A
ring of light colorless as pearl, white as the
ghost of dead sunbeam, gradually sur
rounded her. Once having caught her in Its
coils, it rapidly expanded, and its outer edge
took pale lemon hue. This soon deepened
into yellow. and that to orange. Then came
a circlet of green, so tender, so delicate, that
it only coulds have been wrought by mer-
maids hands in ocean palaces of shadowy
shells. The deeper emerald came next, fol-
lowed by blue of heavens own liquid dyes.
An airy scarf of daintiest violet and a broad
border band of rose color blushing into aerial
crimson completed the ravishing concentric
tiara. And over it all fitted a gauzy cloud
Grape, varying in tint from the ethereal pink
of peach-bloomy beauty's cheeks to the faint
spirit of green that dwells in an op ais heart;
not color, but mere gentle drea m of color.
Two large golden stars twinkled in and out
amid the gorgeous deity-woven. drapery of
film, as if enraptured with the loneliness of
which they formed part And ever and
anon rift in the great snow bank of cloud
brought out the queenly moon in full splendor
and sent 10000 glittering rainbow fragments

Kaleidoscope rings without end and glories

tions of empyreal pyrotechnics. For
two full hours Almighty power and skill
kept the curtains up and the magnificent
spectacle in view, until even an untutored
frontier son of toll could not refrain from
thinking if the wrong side of heaven is so
transporUingly beautiful, what must the right
side be?
1t was a very nice vision. colonel,
and mighty nice display of decorative
taste and genius yet for all that we daresay
that it didn't compensate for the two days
headache which followed it.

st. Paul fire department during the past
eleven months. The people of st. Paul are
proud of their fire department and have

more efficient one. Our report not only
shows that the losses by fire within the last
year have been much less than the previous
year, but that, owing to the promptness

Manitoba Railways.

General Freight and Passenger Agent
Kerr of the Western division of the Cana
dian Pacific road was in St. Paul yesterday
arranging some traffic matters with the
Manitoba road. Interviewed regarding bust
ness on his line he said that passenger
traffic was light, but there was too much
freight business at present for the number
Of cars owned by the company. The line
is being operated as far west as Donald, a
point 1,022 miles west of Winnipeg, be-
tween the Selkirk range and the summit of
the Rocky mountains. At the western end
of the line large business is done carrying
miners, their equipments and prospectors,
to the new mines near Kicking Horse Pass
These mines have been known for some
time, but owing to the almost impossibility
of taking in supplies to them and bringing
the diggings out they have not been operated
very extensively. Now, however, the mines
are easy of access and the Canadian Pacific
anticipates large business next season.
In the spring through service of passenger
trains to the coast will be inaugurated
James Ross, superintendent of construction
of the Rocky Mountain division, and the
contractors who assisted him in his work,
have returned from the Rockies and are
now in Winnipeg settling up their business
previous to going East. The North Shore
line will be operated all winter, the road
having been
PROTECTED FROM SNOW BLoCKADEs.
On this line the Canadian Pacific runs
elegant dining and sleeping cars of it's own.
This season considerable new building has
been done. On the Manitoba g. South
western branch eighty miles of new track
have been laid, and about forty on the
Manitoba Southwestern Colonization
branch. An extension from Minnedosa
north of fifty miles have been made on the
Manitoba & Northwestern, which is now
being operated, and work on this branch
will be continued next season, and the line
will ultimately be extended to Prince AL
bert. This branch leaves the main line at
Portage la Prairie. and with the other two
lines and the main line Of the Canadian
Pacific, there are four parallel lines from
Winnipeg west for about $50 miles. MI.
Kerr is of the opinion that by a year from
now the Northwest Coal & Navigation
railway, known as the Gait railway, will be
extended from its present southern terminus
to a point on the international boundary
line. Such a line would be beneficial to the
Canadian Pacific, as Montana range cattle

Passenger Rate War Imminent.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. lot was discovered
yesterday that the scalpers here were sell
ing through passenger tickets to New York
for SIG, or 50 less than the rate agreed
upon not long ago between the general pas
senger agents. The general ticket offices
then reduced their rates to the same figure,
and it is generally thought here to-day that
this will furnish starting point for rate
war, which will not be confined to St.
Louis, for the present rate. SIG, will force
Chicago down So less and Kansas City to a
point So below its present rate. No one
pretends to predict when or where the end
will be, but all agree that even lower rate
than $16 will prevail until new agree
ment can be made.
