The citizens OF Hastings had offered twelve
special prizes for the twelve best averages,
and during the last events there was a
double interest manifested, both on account
of the regular purses and the special.
Banker Thomas M. Paine of Bird Island
and Jerome Hanna. president of the Hast
ings Sporting club, were tied both Wednes-
day and Thursday evenings on the $50 gold
badge, but Hanna dropped one too many
birds and Paine won the badge; Hanna
came in for S25 cash prize and second best
average. Shaft drew the SIS cash prize or
third best average. Myers (Red Wing
drew the fourth. which was SIS American
shell-loader, presented by johnson and
Greinor. The fifth for the best prize was
cash $40, and was won by Pfster (St. Paul.
and Barnum. Westerson took sixth, SIS
in cash. Kennedy Bros, st. Paul pre-
sented Heatherington with a keg of powder
for seventh. j. p. Summers, Hast
with another keg for eighth.
Greinor (Hastings) took the ninth
the prize, pair of rubber hunting boots
johnson took the box of cigars presented
by Michael Hoffman for the tenth; Whit
comb Mumford drew the eleventh. 200
shells. There were congratulations to the
lucky shots and coincidence for those who
had not done so well, and the sportsmen
departed satisfied with the sport and court
estes extended them in Hastings.
NOTES.
The poetry with which Thursdays report
was closed got there by mistake in the make
up of the paper. The GLOBE correspondent
is not responsible tor it. The left-handed
compliment to Mr.. Wasop was not intended.
The Winona club after their futile effort
to win place in the team shoot for the state
badge folded their tent and silently stole
away.
Charles Nolan of Hastings acted as referee
during the tournament to the entire satisfac-
ton Of all parties.
E. L. Winslow and James Duffy, Hastings,
and J. f. Norris, Jr., with town clerk OF
Hathaway, kept the score and disbursed the
cash.

of criminals in dirty, dingy cell. There
is something so revolving in the contempla-
ton OF such prison system we wonder it
such things are possible in this civilized
age. And yet when we look around
us we see the same condition
here in Minnesota that exists in Ohio.
And it is SO in every state.
There is hardly decent jail building in the
United States And yet no effort has been
made to reform the system. There seems
never to be humanity enough in the aver
age legislature to secure legislation compel
ling the counties to build the right kind of
Jails. And as Bishop WHIPPLE remarked
Christian men and women are too apt to
play the part of the priest and Levite and
pass by on the other side when Ques-
lions of this kind are laid before them. So
long as they manage to keep out Of Jail
themselves they don't have much concern
as to how those who are less fortunate may
fare. The conference of charities and cor
rections is doing an excellent work in agitat
ing this reform. and It'll one that is worthy of
the attention of the distinguished American
statesmen and divines who discussed it yes
terdaY.

Small Talk.

On Thursday, July 81, Duncan G. Ross and
sergeant g. Walsh will meet in q mounted
sword combat at Calhoun Park, situated at
Lake Calhoun, at Minneapolis. This match
has been talked of for some time, but the men
could not be brought together sooner. The
popularity OF these contests is manifest when
from ten to thirty thousand people assemble
to witness one of them At the present writ
ing these same men are contrasting series of
combats at Chicago. Capt. Bergman also
being in the lists, he will probably come here
also. 1t is intended to have the combat take
place at night provided electric lights can be
put in by the 29th. If not it will take place
in the afternoon
The Minneapolis Sporting bureau have
taken the management of the new athletic
park at Lake Calhoun. 1t will be known as
Calhoun Park. 1t will contain One-siXth of
mile bicycle and running track, and 100
yards sprinting path. Beautiful grand stands
capable of seating 1000 people have been
erected, and it is estimated that 100000 per-
sons can be accommodated. The grounds
VIII also contain large dancing platform,
dressing rooms, etc. On the 21st inst. the
Caiedonians hold forth at this park, and the
next attraction will take place on the goth.
when Duncan G. Ross and Sergt. C. Walsh
will meet in a mounted sword-combat.
The Minneapolis team will leave to-day for
its second Southern trip, playing in Milwau-
kee tomorrow. 1t will return to play St.
raul on July rs and Duluth July 29. 1t will
either make or wreck itself on this trip
Yendling and Trolley, the new battery, are
expected to join them in time for the first
game. Cordin, one OF the new players, ar
rived and played second base in yesterdays
game. His field work was perfect, but he
did not appear strong at the bat Last year
he ranked second in fielding in the Southern
league.
The Omaha general Office boys will play the
II. NJ. Smythe printing COMPANY q game of
base ball this afternoon at the league grounds,
on West Seventh street. Game will be called

HOW TO BUILD JATLs.

The subject of jail building had lively
discussion in the national conference of
charities and corrections yesterday. The
his paper on the management of poor
houses, and in the minute speeches
which followed was revealed a woeful con-
dtion of the jails in the various
states. That there is room for
great reform. in the manner
of building jails is entirely apparent, and
that it is a live subject and one worthy of
the attention of the American people was
fully illustrated by the fact that such men
as ex-President HAYES, ex-Gov. HoADLY,
Bishop WHIPPLE and Bishop KNICKER-
BOOKER took an active part in the
discussion. Gov. HoADLY was frank
enough to say that with one
exception there wasn't decent jail in the
state OF Ohio, and Mr.. HAYES confirmed
the statement. If there is any part of the
country which needs good jails it is the
state of Ohio. and the appeal of these
two distinguished ex-governors Of that
famous state ought to make an impression
on the country. But looking at the matter
in its serious aspects it must be conceded
that there is lamentable neglect on the
part OF county officials in providing iailS
that are suitable Tor the accommodation of
human beings, even though they be crimi-
mails And when it sometimes occurs, as
was the case referred to by Gov. HoADLY
of witness who was incarcerated because
of his inability to give bonds to appear
and testify in case, an honest
man is put IN jail or an innocent woman,
as in the Kansas City case referred to by
enc of the speakers, it is a gross outrage
that they should be penned up with herd

BLOW YOUR HORN.

The thrifty and enterprising towns along
the lines Of the different railroads which
run through Dakota do not make the most
of their opportunities for proclalming their
advantages to the outside world. While
this is not true OF certain towns which have
boards of trade for the dissemination
of information. it applies almost without
exception to the smaller towns, whose great
est advantage it is TO attract settlers and in
vestors. There is y very simple way, too.
in which these towns could blow their own
horns with great benefit and little expense.
If, when the trains stopped at the stations,
be the time however short, competent
agent would go through the trains with a
pamphlet descriptive of the towns, their re-
sources and advantages as places for invest
ment there is 70 doubt that much would be
| accomplished. Literature of any kind
is eagerly seized TO relieve the
tedium of rail journey and it
is reasonable to suppose that which has as
its subject the very country through which
the tourist is passing would be especially
interesting. 1t might be supposed that the
railroads would supply information of this
kind. So they would If it was req uested,
but the traveller in starting on his trip gen.
orally has other things to think about and in
any event it would not be so forcibly i'm
pressed upon him as it would be coming
directly from the town at the moment of
his arrival at it's station. That such in
formation is desirable and would be &C
ceptable, every traveller is aware.
for who travelling through the North
west has not heard numerous in
quiries even as to the name con-
corning every small town at which the
train may stop? Let it not be supposed
either that the impression thus to be made
is an insignificant one. On every passen-
ger train there are people whose object in
taking journey West is as much for the
purpose of investment as for pleasure. Some
one Of these may be induced by the
pamphlet information mentioned to
add by investment or by advising others to
the towns growth, and every one thus in
tluenced is of course distinct gain. The
experiment is well worth trying. 1t can
do no harm; it is likely to do much good.
We commend it to our enterprising Dakota
friends. Blow your own horn, you can
hardly expect others to do it for you.

BARD. There are. however, two
difficulties in bringing the latter gentleman
forward as candidate. One would be to
obtain his consent to an act which would
be bad faith to political and personal
friends, another is that it is by no
means certain that the outcome of the Re-
publican state convention will be the renom-
nation of the present incumbent of the
executive chair. Consequently the con-
gressional convention for the Third district
has been postponed until after the state

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTIONS
Spreading Along the Border 81. A
Town Captured.

LAREDO, N. NJ, July 16.-The latest in
formation in the state of Tamaulipas is that
the town of Guerrero, on the Rio Salado
about seventy-five miles south of this eitv
was captured last night by a large BODY
of revolutionists, who are putting
the town in state OF
defense. Three hundred and fifty infantry
arrived here to-day and We're dispatched
down the Rio Grande to Mier, the seat of
the trouble, and other detachments are to
follow until the government has annie
force to suppress summarily anv
uprising in Tamaulipas. Tonight
a report was received that a large
body Of revolutionists had appeared above
Nuevo Laredo, in the state of Nueyo Leon
They are moving rapidly and were con.
stantly receiving adherents. Nuevo Laredo
is in a fever of excitement. The
custom house and other public bu;ldincs
are strongly guarded and every preparation
has been made to offer resistance should
the revolutionists attempt to capture III q
city. 1t is thought. however. with the
present railway and telegraph facilities that
the government will make short work Of
the impending revc' ution. "

To the Editor of the Globe:
The presidents order in regard to Office
holders interfering in political campaigns is
a step in the right direction, and one cali
culated to be of more interest to the Demo-
cratic party than any other thing done by
him since he occupied the presidential
chair. This is obvious when we re-
member that the officeholders are
as IL general rule, Republicans.
The order will deprive that party of the serv-
ices of large number of its most active
workers, and thereby will the Democratic
party be strengthened. President Cleveland
knows what he is about. He collars Republi-
cans and then issues his order depriving them
of political rights. Tnis leaves the Demo-
cratic party IN its strength to fight against
only part of the Republicans party. Hurrah
for Cleveland for one term oal,. Xxx.

The Last Home Game.

Yesterdays ball game was the last of the
home series for Minneapolis, and those
who admire the national game will rejoice
heartily and be glad. To-day the team
goes to Milwaukee on its southern trip, and
before it returns will have been thoroughly
reorganized. The story of yesterdays
game with Oshkosh is soon told. Webber
is laid up with sore hands and the contract
to catch Sowders was more than Shaefer
could fulfill. There were, all told, seven
runs made and there were just seven passed
balls. Each passed ball meant a run and
Sowders threw in a wild pitch for good
measure. The right field play of Hoy, the
work of Gastfield on first base and his base
running and the fine fielding of Crooks and
Cordin deserve special mention. The score

ELIZABETH, N. j., July 16.-A heroic
attempt was made by Jesse j. Catlin. yard

morning to rescue Annie Wyckoff, a highly
respected young girl of Elizabeth. from
death at the South Elizabeth railroad sta
ton: The girl was on her way to Railway.
While standing on the east-bound track
waiting for the 7:20 train, through east
bound passenger train was sighted. Pas
sengers at the depot called to her to get off
the track, but she evidently did not hear
them. On came the train. Catlin jumped
to her side and was dragging her out Of
harms way when both were struck by the
train, Miss Wyckoff was hurled many
feet from the scene of the accident and her
body horribly mangled. Death must have
been instantaneous. Catlin was thrown
long distance and he was also killed. Both
bodies were taken charge of by County
