perience Saturday Night.
1t is night.
Minneapolis has dropped off into deep
slumber, and a solemn quiet has settled
down over the resident portion of the city.
The main streets are not entirely deserted,
however, for little knots of young men
walk from point to point, caring not where
they may roam, and discussing matters of
no interest to any one except perhaps
themselves. The time is not yet midnight,
and from the saloons the yellow glass of
the gas light beams forth, bidding all to
enter and partake of the flowing bowl.
Inside are men discussing the merits of re-
spective sporting men, and making wind
bets as to who will win the coming match.
Fashionably dressed young men lean idly
against the bar, slipping wine and talking
of conquests made, and thrown aside.
They care nothing for the lateness of the
hour-time means nothing to them, for on
the morrow they rest, and perchance have
their breakfasts served at their bedsides.
Let us look further.
In a low saloon and restaurant combined
are number of men, of the quality gener-
ally known as tough. A pool table is there
and around it stand number of interested
spectators, watching the game and now and
then commenting on it in coarse and de-
cidedly offensive manner. Hot words en-
sue, blows are exchanged, and soon the
room is filled with oaths, fierce and terri
BILE. The proprietor hastens to eject the
men, for such rows mean trouble from the
police, and once having gained the name of
keeping disorderly place the saloonkeeper
finds his lot a hard one for the officers of
the law watch more closely the building
and are constantly ready to appear upon
the scene
Again the scene changes.
On stools in front OF the counter of an
all-nlght restaurant sit people of all grades
and conditions. The suspected crook and
the well-knOwn business man are
there, eating side by side and
almost touching one another as
their forks move rapidly too and fro. AT
the end of the counter sits man whose
face betokens the fact that he is sharp and
constantly watching to get the best of some
fellow man. He is notorious confidence
man, and is there in company with others
OF his kind. He is but human, and he
must eat. Near him. but seemingly I'M
conscious of his presence, sits big, broad

Two Book Agents Have an Altercas
ton II the Clark House.
Officer Maloney brought to the police
headquarters yesterday afternoon G. W.
Martin, who was much the worse for an
encounter with man named P. l.. Moody.
at the Clark house. Martin and Moody are
agents for rival publication houses, and arc
not on the most friendly terms. From
what could be learned about the case. it is
believed that Martin made certain uncom-
plimentary aSperSionS, to which Moody
took exceptions. Martin had been out
driving, and was seated in his buggy in
front of the hotel. Moody claims that
Martin struck him in the mouth, and the
former seized the driving whip from the
socket in the buggy and began a severe
chastising. Moody sprang from the buggy
ready for the combat, but was quickly
seized and thrown violently to the sidewalk
face downward. Then heavy blow with
the butt of the whip opened up severe
scalp wound and the blood flowed pro-
fuSely. The policeman was summoned,
and strange to say the sympathy of the
crowd that had gathered was with Mooney,
who is large enough to whip half-doZen
Martins without a weapon. The officer
found the two in the Office of the hotel and
was requested to remove Martin, who was
very obStreperous. The officer did as re-
Quested, and DetectiveJ. P. Hoy and Lieut..
j. N. Hoy went up and brought Mooney to
police headquarters, where, after stormy
scene, both were told that they must settle
the smatter in the municipal court, as no
arrests could be made without a warrant.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The speech of Hon. John W. Arctander
is getting him into heap trouble, He is
an enthusiastic Norwegian and in the eX-
element incident to last Mondays celebra-
ton forget himself and pitched vigorously
into the Danes and Swedes, and the latter
are now retaliating. Arctander and Alex.
Mobecll met at the postotfce yesterday and
in discussion of Scandinavian national
questions got shaking fists under each
others noses. Only the sacred day and
public place prevented six-round set-to.

The school board of Minneapolis will no
longer walk under the legs of that intel

At just o'clock yesterday morning a
burglar came to grief at No. 16 Chestnut
avenue. Mrs. Matt Cain was awakened
from her sleep by a noise at the window of
the sitting-room adjoining the bedroom.

sprang from his bed and discovered the

through which he had entered. Ordinarily
Mr.. Cain keeps a forty-two calibre Ameri-

but unfortunately Saturday night he placed
it i'll a drawer of his dressing-case. He
sprang to the dresSing-case for his revolver
and this awoke Jasper, the bulldog, who
had been soundly sleeping underneath the
bed. Jasper with enc bound sprang upon
the unwelcome guest. and planting his
teeth firmly in long coat-tail, held
bravely to his work. The bur-
glar made lunge and went
out of the window, but not with all his
wearing apparel. Meanwhile Mr. Cain
had secured his gun and gave chase. Rush
ing out upon the sidewalk he was coolly
confronted by quartet of tough looking
customers, and all were armed with revol-
vers. One of the number discharged
shot in the air and complacently replied:

INTO the house. He has goodly portion of

delicate health, is nearly PROSTATE from
the excitement and fright incident to the
episode. Hereafter Mr.. Cain will keep his
revolver at convenient distance for use in
such emergencies.

The Sabbath school mass meeting at

drew out vast congregation. The little
folks occupied the Dews in the center of the
church, and their elders were required to

accommodations of the side rows or the
gallery above, for it was the children's day,
and share in the proceedings of the Presbv-

How H Was Fulfilled.
About 3 o'clock Friday afternoon John
Meehan, well known to many in Minneap-
oils. walked into the American hospital,
saying he thought he was going to be sick.
AS he looked perfectly well and strong he
was laughed at by those in attendance, but
he maintained that he could feel it coming.
He remained around the hospital all the
afternoon. Soon after o'clock he went to
bed, but did not complain Of any strange
feeling. About 10 o'clock the attendants
were summoned to his bedside, where in a
few short minutes he breathed his last.
The cause of his death was meningitis.
The body was taken to Gleason s. Byorum's
morgue, where a post mortem examination
was held yesterday. Meehan was brother
of the Dugilist Meehan

palmed off his confederate as "sick
Indian" who fitted about in the
bushes near the spot where the gold
bricks were found, and refused to let
the credulous old man see poor Lo be-
cause he was wild and afraid of the

THE WHEAT CROP.
Reports from Over Five Thousand
COrrespOndenea.

Rochester, N. Y, February a.
The american Rural Home has received
crop reports from over 5000 cores
pondents, and reviewing the situation,
says; Owingto strong foreign compe-
tition and the decrease of exports,
farmers who have been growing spring
wheat largely ought to consider very
carefully the amount of wheat they
put out. The winter wheat outlook
is uncertain, alternate freezing,
covering and uncovering being
likely to injure the crop.
The Pacific coast reports are
favorable. The winter wheat crop
coming out from under its blanket
of snow is generally reported to be in
fair condition, but at the same time it
will be subjected to the freezing and
thawing weather which is due at this
season of the year. Very little grain
is moving, and there is no prospect of
any large increase.

T. V. Powderly, grand master work

the object Of his recent visit TO Canada
was TO confer with the Archbishop Of
Quebec in reference to the position Of
the church towards tie Knights of
Labor, bat he added: "The subject

this part of the country the church is
on the best terms with the order. One
of the principal reasonsfor this il that
the people in this country are nearer
the priest than they are there. This
is mutual understanding. They are
very particular, and they have reason
to be. There are 40 many
Anarchists there that they have lust
reason to be suspicious. You know
the inhabitants in that section are al
most exclusively French, and they are
harder to manage than our own peo-
pie. We have some Anarchists in

dangerous class. About all they con-
sist in is wind. They amuse them

where he is as well known as he is

his noble traits of character, his great
abilities and his honorable ambition.
The Madisonians regard him as the
greatest man in Tennessee and the
coming man of the South, rich in the
promise Of things hoped for, based on a
solid foundation of merit and learning.

JERSEY Cry, N. j., February "A. -
About 1000 men gathered tonight in
the Oakland Rink TO witness the con-
test between Jack Dempsey and Pete
Mccoy. Chief Of Police Murphy,
with u force OF fifty men, kept back
the surging crowd from the twenty
four foot ring erected on a platform in
the center of the rink. Among
the sporting men present were
La Blanche, the Boston Ma
rine, with whom Dempsey is
matched to fight; Tom Bogue and
John Keenan,, also of Boston; Gus

Johnny Clark and Arthur Chambers
of Philadelphia; Patsey Shepherd,
Mike Sullivan, Frank Stevenson, Mike
Clcary, u p. Foster, Billy Bennett,
Charley King and host of club men
from New York. Previous to the open.
ing of the exhibition, Tom Bogue
manager for the Marine" said that
La Blanche did not care to talk about
his approaching fight with Dempsey,
but he said that il was expected that
Dempsey and the Marine" would
meet in short time. "If they do"
he said, "all we ask is q fair referee
and fair decision" Gus Tuthill,
speaking for Dempsey, said: ut does
not matter whether Dempsey beats
Mccoy tonight or not, he will fight
the Marine anyway"
The early part of the evening was
taken up with short three-round bouts
between light weights and with wrest-
ling. II was 1850 O'Clock when Nc
Coy jumped over the ropes. He was
accompanied by Dan Gill OF Boston
and Tom Evans. Dempsey followed
Immediately, and was assisted by Gus
Tuthill and Tom Cleary. W. l.. Hard
ing was chosen time-keeper and
Mike Cleary referee. In the first
round Dempsey made no attempt TO
fight, but he made three points TO Nc
Coy's one. In the second round Nc
Coy got in some good work, but in the
third, fourth and fifth rounds Demp-
sey fairly made sport of him, and had
him winded. In the sixth and last
round Mccoy fought for all he was
worth, but was unable 10 stop Demp-
sey's body blows and upper cuts, and
McCoy's friends felt relieved when
the referee called time. La Blanche
sat all the time in the reporters gal
lery surrounded by friends, who
offered 10 wager $1,000 to $500 that the
fight would be declared draw. The
referee, however declared that the
fight had been won by Dempsey. The
receipts, which went to the winner,
amounted to over 10000.
