BLOWING HOT AND COLD.
A Canadian Pacific Official Says
That is What Manitoba's Pre-
mier Is Doing.

"A Canadian Pacific Official Says
That is What Manitoba's Pre-
mier Is Doing.
premier Greenway, of Manitoba,
found it a popular theme to decry the
efforts of the Canadian Pacific railway
and to denounce it as greedy monop-
oly," Robert Kerr, general freight and
passenger agent of the Western q Pa
cifc division of that line, said lastEeven-
ing; "and he rode into power on that
tide of public sentiment. But there are
people in the province of Manitoba who
do not think the premier is sincere in
his denunciation of our company. and
thathe is one thing in politics and an
other in private life.
"There has been so much cutlery
about the grasping propensities of the
Canadian Pacific that few facts have
become absolutely necessary. Take
wheat for instance, on which the rate
is one-half cent ton per mile to the
seaboard, distance Of 1,500 miles. In
returning the cars used in transporting
wheat from our section after the freight
is discharged fully so per cent are dead
headed, and there is no money in such
business.
'When the wheat blockade began last
summer in Southern Manitoba, and for
which so much blame was attached to
the Canadian Pacific. as matter of fact
the farmers Of that region were at the
bottom Of the trouble. There was an
unprecedented yield of wheat last sum-
mer and the elevators built by private
parties were not sufficient to meet the
demand for storage. although one conf
pany had an abundance of cars to trans
port all the business entrusted to 1T.
But the farmers held back when they
learned that the elevators were full.
and wheat blockade enSued, for which
we received full credit.
''These and other grievances were
seized upon by the opponents of the
Canadian Pacific as a preteXt for the
construction of the proposed Red River
road, and Premier GreenWay found it a
very safe experiment to travel in the
current with the popular idea and
espouSed the cause of the opposition
road. This as much as any other factor
contributed to his elevation to power,
and he has played the same tune and
upon the same string ever since. l am
going to Chicago to attend a conference
of railroad officials regarding the adj
justment of freight rates which was at
the seat of the dispute with the Chicago,
Burlington d Quincy, and we hope to &C
complish permanent and definite plan
against further cutting"

The Dickens Readings.

For two years Charles Dickens has
been reading from the works of his
father, and his success has been almost
as great as that of the famous novelist

repeat the familiar chapters Of the
works of his gifted father. Nearly
1000 listened to Mr.. Dickens in Mime

delighted audience indeed. Mr.. Dickens

team belonging to the first named. AS
the team came along WabaSha street,

came diSengaged from the neckyoke.
The horses became unmanageable and
turned into Fifth street at full pace.
Opposite the postOf1ice the carriage
cOllided with wagon loaded with wood.

ground and the carriage smashed to
pieces. The driver held on to the team,

POINTS FOR PEDAGoGUEs.
Sup. Kiehle Maps Out a Plan for
Observance Of Arbor Day.

D. l.. Kiehle, superintendent of pub
lie instruction, has issued circular to
county superintendent and teachers
throughout the state announcing that
Gov. McGill has appointed April % as
Arbor day, and that it is especially de
sirable that the young people, more par
ticularly those connected with the pub
lie schools, should take prominent part
in the tree-planting movement. The
circular states that the idea can no
longer be looked upon as an expert
ment, and that the children who plant
trees about the school grounds, will be
looked upon as public benefactors in
years to come. He wants the gradual
ing class in each graded school to plant
a group of trees to mark the event. In
the ungraded schools, each one of the
larger pupils should be encouraged to
put out and care for one tree. Supt.
Kiehle thinks that by this means an en-
during contribution to the attractive
ness of the:schools may be secured which
will increase in value with each recur-
ring season.

A BIG RAKE-OFF.
Cities and Towns Which are En-
titled to Slices Of the Insurance


COMPANY Ao<A'
Under chapter 1877, General Laws of
1885, as amended, Insuranc Commits
sioner Shandrew has certified to State
Auditor Braden that the following
named cities and towns have paid fire
departments and are entitled to the tax
paid by insurance companies for doing
business. In all towns having popu
lation of over 10000 this tax goes to the
relief fund for disabled firemen, and in
towns of less than 10000 it goes to the
support of the fire department.
1t will be noticed that st. Paul re-
ceives S6,S60.49 and Minneapolis $780,
S71 .63, a difference of S4,011.14. The
difference is accounted for by the fact
that there are more insurance COM
panies in Minneapolis and larger num-
Der of frame buildings on which insur
ance tax must be paid. Subjoined is
the list of cities and towns and the
amount aach ic antitlaI tn.

An Ordinance Punctured.

Under the ordinance requiring out
side tailoring agents to pay a license of
$500, Charles Guinness, the New York
agent, was arraigned yesterday morning
before Judge Schoonmaker, the case
h card and Guinness discharged on the
ground that the ordinance is invalid.
The Judge ruled that under the charter
such resolution cannot be made good,
and that the state has no authority to
grant such privilege, as congress reg
ulateS traffic between states; that it is
violation of the federal constitution,
and even if it was valid, the amount of
the license was too high.

THE
WASHINGTON
Life Insurance Company.

Insurance Record, March, 1888.
In the selection of a company in
which to insure ones life, the most i'm
portant of all considerations is that of
absolute safety, not so much for this
year and the next, but for all time.
VIII the company be prepared to meet
the claim way on to the extreme limit
of life? That's the question to be asked
and answered.
1t does not follow because q company
has amaSSed large amount of assets
and counts its millions by the fifties,
that it is one whit safer than the one
that is content with moderate increase
in all departments of its business. and
is better managed on account of its size,
and gains strength in greater proper
ton because its officers and managers
can give the greater attention and time
to each and every detail. There is Il
limit to human power and scope. and it
is possible for corporation to become
unwieldy and beyond the control of its
executive.
For twenty-eight years the Washing
ton Life has followed the well-beaten
path of conservative management, look
ing neither to the right nor the left,
steadfastly refusing the many tempta-
tons to depart into the speculative lines
of life insurance which are so infatu-
ating; and, while it does not show the
stupendous growth of some of its CO.
workers, it is to-day the peer of any in
each and every point that make up the
grand total of solvency, stability and
strength.
The annual statement for the year
1887 is full of promise, of vigorous
growth, of unquestionable strength,
and only reiterates the Oft-tOld story:
1.-The Washington Life is here to
stay" 1t has nearly nine millions of
assets securely invested, with a surplus
equal in proportion to any other COM
pany i'll the field. And a remarkable
fact which this statement shows is:
there was decided gain in each i'm
pOrtant feature. Even the care in med
zeal selection told largely in favor of the
company. There was:

SULLIVAN All HOME.
He Is Met by Host of Admirers
at the Landing.

BOSTON, April 24.-The Catalonia,
with John L. Sullivan on board, came
into view at GAO a. III. to-day. At 7
O'Clock the tugs Wesley A. Cove, John
H. Clark and Elsie started out with a
freight of sporting men to meet the
champion. The party included Man
ager Phillips. J. A. st. John, Pete Nc
Coy, Patsy Kerrigan, Paddy Duffy and
Joe Lannon. The tugs met the steamer
just before o'clock. Sullivan stood on
the bridge, his face bronZed by
the voyage and looking the
picture of health. The scores
of sporting men waved handkerchiefs
and hats, and sent up cheer after cheer
while the tugs whistled greeting. Sui
Ivan dotted his hat, and the hundreds
of people on the steamers deck CATCH
ing the enthusiasm, joined in the cheer
ing. AS the tugs accompanied the ship
to quarantine, greetings were shouted
across between Sullivan and friends
whom he recognized. At quarantine
Sullivan left the steamer for the tug
cheering. The band played, the Catalo-
mans gave a farewell hurrah, and the
tugs started for the shore. On arriving
at the wharf, Sullivan, his hacker, Mr..
Phillips, his father and Silvias GoOkin,
the oarsman, entered the carriage and
were driven up town amid the cheers
and other salutations of the hundreds
who had gathered on the sidewalks.

A BLOODY BATTLE.
Two Love-Sick SWANS Fight Nine
Fierce Rounds.

Fierce Rounds.
Special to the Globe.
OMAHA, Neb., April 24.-To settle a
dispute over woman, for whose affec-
tons both were rivals, Peter DOhl and
Lewis Ellis, hack-drivers, fought nine
rounds with bare knuckles, London
prize ring rules, about II o'clock last
night. The battle took place at road
house, just north of the city limits, and
was witnessed by about $50 people, in
Guiding fifteen women and city com
Gilman. Both men were in excellent
condition, but the general impression
was that Ellis would have a walk
away. When time was called for the
first round both men came up
promptly, and without the formallty
of shaking hands, began smuggling in
earnest. Ellis made mad rush and
landed terrible left handler Oil DOhlS
nose, from which the blood flowed
freely. Both men then clinched and,
Ellis on top. In the second round
DOLL, who had been trying to avoid
punishment, changed his tactics to the
offensive. Several heavy blows were
exchanged, and Ellis went down to save
himself. The third round was very
brief and ended in
THE FIRST KNOCK DOWN
for DOhl, who caught Ellis On the jugu-
lar with terrible highlander. This
seemed to drive all the courage out of
Ellis, and he was about to throw up the
sponge, when the councilman jumped
into the ring and, lifting him up, urged
him to renew the battle. Ellis led off
by raining blows on DOhl's face and
chest, but they were returned with in
terest. This round proved the longest
and bloodiest in the fight, and when the
men clinched and fell both were COW
cred with blood. From this on to the
end hard fighting was the rule, with
Ellis constantly getting worsted.
The women were about divided
in their sympathies, and by shrill
cries urged the sluggers to do their best.
When time was called for the ninth
round Ellis second had to raise him out
of his corner and fairly dragged him to
the center of the ring. Dohl immedi-
ately began to pound away like trip
hammer on Ellis head, and in rush
both men fell. Ellis strnck the ground
with terrific force, and when time was
called for the tenth round he said he
had had enough. The referee then de-
clared the fight in favor of DOLL. Old
sporting men present say it was the
fiercest and bloodieSt battle which ever
took place in Omaha
