The Mnunerchor,. Beer.

Yesterday 4 complaint was made against
Herman Rooster for selling beer without a
license at the MRnnerchOr masquerade ball
at Music hall on Monday night. The
MennerchOr will test the case, which is
set for Saturday morning in the municipal
court before jury. The society is an in
cOrporated organization under the laws of
Minnesota and claims it has q right to dis
pose of beer the way it was done on Mon
day night. The society charges 81 for a
ticket. which admits the holder and entities
him 10 dancing and beer and other refresh
ments and the same privileges enjoyed by
the society.
On the back of tickets or certificates of
membership" are the rules, which provide
that any respectable person can become 4
member on purchase of certificate. which
entities him 10 order refreshments. paying
the steward what he may demand for his
trouble. At the above ball the society
claims that only persons holding tickets
were admitted and given anything 10 drink.
After The Mighty Dollar" at the Grand
large number of men are known TO have
gone TO Music hall, but were refused adj
mission because they did not hold tickets,
and the dOOrkeeper refused TO admit them
at any price without ticket. At the New
Years ball one or two parties were al
mitted without tickets and obtained beer.
Mr. Lehman. who had charge Of the beer
stand that night, was arrested and fined for
selling without license. This the society
unhesitatingly paid. If the jury in the case
against Mr.. kOester decides that the so
ciety has no right TO dispose of beer under
the above rules and regulations, the organ
iZatiOn will pay his fine and there will be
no beer i'm the future. II not, beer will be
furnished as ON Monday night. The case
will come uD At 9 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing. and will probably attract large crowd.
as much interest is manifested in the mat
ter, especially by the many members of the
MRnnerchOr. Judge Nethaway was asked
what he thought of the question yesterday.
and he said he had not looked up the law
on that point as yet. The outcome is
anXiOusly awaited for.

Clark is ViIIing--FO hiticai Notes.
The Republicans. as the party at present
in power have opened the ball IN a FORMAL
way by announcing their convention ior

Democratic committee will meet next Tues
dav evening and decide upon the time of
holding the Democratic city convention.
AS far as agitation is concerned the cam
paign is very well opened the aldermanic
work having begun long ago. Already in
every ward the candidates may be almost
positively named, as choice is rapidly set
ling upon the prominent men. The alder
manic contest will largely be fought upon
ward issues, and i'll most cases will bring
about mixed results. All interest centers
in the mayoraIty race. which is to be run
solely on the issue Of liberal or hypocritical
administration. The Democrats represent
the former.

BIG FIRE AT MARINE.
WiCkmsn's Brewery and Residence De
strOyed by Fire.
Walker. Judd & Veazie's Lumber Yard
Threatened.
The MEnnerchor and It's Right to
Dispense Beer.
Destructive Fire.

Shortly after o'clock last night the news
of what might have been en- extensive con-
tagTation at Marine reached Saltwater by
telephone. The brewery and residence of
John A. Wickman were destroyed, and q
small portion Of the lumber pile of Walker,
Judd & VeaZie. near by. For a time the
lumber yard and mills of this firm and
all the adjoining buildings appeared
10 be in danger, the flames spreading
so rapidly that assistance was asked from
saltwater. The ire originated in the base
ment Of the brewery about o'clock, and
had gained such Roadway when first dis
covered that it was an impOSsibility to con-
troll il. The flames spread rapidly, and the
building soon went up in smoke. The resi-
dence, which is located on tine bluff about
twenty-five feet south OF the brewery, caught
IRE and was soon laid in ruins. From this
the flames extended 10 the lumber yard. By
this time steam had been raised in the saw
mill, the hose gotten out and wafer was
soon playing Oh the lumber. which at mid
night was under control. The brew
cry was an old structure and
not worth over $1,000. The stock
and machinery was burned. The house
was a two-stOry building worth about
-, 200. a portion OF the contents were
saved. Wickman carried no insurance.
About O'Clock Ed St John OF the Walker,
Judd Il VeaZie Lumber company, fearing
the flames would extend to the extensive
saw mill and planning mill of this COM
pany, telephOned 10 Saltwater for
assistance. Mr.. +. E. Joy, chief Of the
fire department, after considering the mat
ter, replied that the hose cart and engine
would have To be taken, which would re-
quire eight or ten horses to draw them, and
that it would take fully four hours to reach
Marine, not saying anything about the
chances Tor obtaining water after arriy-
ing. For these reasons he thought
II inexpedient 10 go. The news of the ire
spread rapidly in Saltwater and created
considerable excitement All sorts of
rumOrs were in circulation as 10 the extent,
one that the whole of Marine was burning.
Marine is situated on the st. CrOix river,
and is nine miles north of Saltwater.

There is now no doubt that the pool and
billiard tournament under the auspices of
Ben Brunswick, will prove a success. The
point which commends 1t to the players of the
Northwest is the fact that no expense to the
players attends it. A deposit OF S25. now
ever, rs an entrance fee must be left with the
GLOBE to insure good faith, but the money
will be returned to the depositors at the tour

SICK OF THE RAKE-OFF.
ChicagOans 10 Establish Stock
Houses i'm Wall Street.

CHICAGO. Feb. 25.-Two prominent broker
age houses here are on the point, it is said.
of establishing their own houses in Wall
street to execute their stock orders. II is q
notable move, and is OF interest both at New
York and At Chicago. A Chicago broker has
poor show when il comes TO the divide on
stock business between himself and New
Yorker They divide brokerage equally, but
the New Yorker loans stocks and gets revenue
for that, and when money is borrowed gets
part of the interest. He gets the lions
share of the profits. II a Chicago house
earns 100000 on commissions, about so, 600
of il has to go 10 the Wall street correspon-
dent The Wall street rake off, is making
the Chicago man out OF patience, and before
another sixty days several Chicagoans will
have houses Of their own at New York.
The fact that so many of the spectators
here are buying on the stock exchange and
are paying only s. brokerage, is hurrying up
this move. When there is only 81 paid on
100 shares, il is hard TO be compelled TO di-
vide.

Visit to- Eastern Libraries.

Visit to Eastern Libraries.
The course of the building committee
from the library board has not been partic-
ularly dissimilar to that pursued by the
building committee of the permanent expo
stion. They secured nine sets of plans,
made a minute and comparative inspection,
and then listened to detailed descriptions
made by the architects in secret sessions.
The committee did not decide to adopt any
particular set of plans, but to incorporate
the better portions of them all. and Messrs.
Lang & Keys were selected as the official
architects of the institution. The archi-
tects will be taken by the building commit
tee to the East, where the public library
buildings of Boston. New York, Baltimore,
Washington and other cities will be in
spected with view TO obtaining practical
information. They will start tomorrow
and will return in about ten days, when the
final plans will be arraged and adopted.
