he has fired as many as seven of these
into one whale before killing it, though
the beast on exhibition was killed by
the second shot, which passed through
its heart. 1t is a wild-lOoking animal
and is a great curiosity for the student

ton to be known as the Association of
Christian Churches of the Twin Cities"
A paper was read by Elder Lhamon, of
Minneapolis, showing the desirability
of having such body, and setting forth
its objects and possibilities. These
were briefly the promotion of Christian
fellowship between the members of the
churches of the two cities, and discus
sion and unity of action in matters and
methods of Christian work in which all
the churches have a mutual interest.
Following the reading of the paper
constitution was adopted and officers
were elected, as follows: Charles Ev-

vice president; Leander Lane, secre-
tary; DR.. Clara Atkinson, treasurer.

UP LIKE A ROCKET,

of the Steamboat Plan.


of the Steamboat Plan.
The proposition of Capt. John B. Da-
Wis, to build and run a boat between
Minneapolis and st. Louis, was rejected
by the board of trade at special meet
ing yesterday afternoon. 1t fell through
principally on account of failure to
agree where the majority of the stock
should be owned and controlled. Cant.
Davis was willing to divide the stock
evenly between Minneapolis and Moline.
and to give Minneapolis the secretary
and treasurer, but three of the five di-
rectOrS must come from down the river.
This was imperative, and the proposi-
ton extended only until last night. T.
b. Walker reported for the committee,
and made an explanation. The idea
was that, if the corporation was con-
trolled outside of Minneapolis the boat
might not run to this city, and he, for
one, would n6t undertake to raise sub
scriptiOns under the circumstances.
Capt. Davis said he made simply busi-
ness proposition and was not begging
came here at the solicitation of
q member of the board and would have
no trouble raising the money at st. Paul,
WinOna and other points. A. j,
Blethen thought the plan good one,
but was afraid the boat would stop off
at st. Paul and this city would get no
benefit. Mr.. Walker said he would go
in Individually and take stock as it stood
but would not recommend it to the
board. Judge Atwater said he would
take all of the stock if Capt. Davis
would give bond to run to Minneapolis
once week for tour months, but it
uanspired this was a little Joke and

"A ADJUSTMENTS.

KiraIfy's "ArOund the WorId'' drew
another large house last night at the
Grand opera. The spectacle finishes out
the week with Saturday matinee.
*xx
"Fantasma," the fairy spectacle of
the HanlonS comes to the Grand opera
next week. This gorgeous production
will be seen at the regular house prices.
Only one matinee will be presented.
"Fantasma" is without doubt the great
est mechanical and pantOmimic spec
tacle ever presented during the present
decade. In the first act a cyclone de-
strOys village, then follows a winter
scene of rare beauty. The finale repre-
SentS the bottom of the sea, with it's
monsters and divers floating about IN
the most realistic manner. During this
scene great sword combat takes place,
one of the best seen on the stage. The
dance by eagles, the aerial act of Mile
Phoite; the statue turning into skele-
ton, drunken man climbing through a
knot hole, the tableau vivant with chill
dren, are some of the striking features
of the piece. The specialties are said to
be very clever. Miss Laura E. Burt,

VALUES ARE SHADED,
And the Flour Market Dull-The
Week at the Falls

Week at the Falls.
The water in the West side canal last
week averaged the lowest on record, the
shortage being especially pronounced
during the closing three days, SO the
Northwestern Miller will say. On the
East side, however, it was not quite so
bad, and moderate weather kept floating
ice from bothering. Some of the mills
using steam ran a little stronger, and
the flour output was increased several
thousand barrels. The weeks product
was 1000 barrels-averaging 10000
barrels daily-against 10l,500 barrels
the previous week, and 10000 barrels
for the corresponding time IN 1887. The
weather has again assumed low tenn
perature, and the millers are once more
having trouble from ice as we'll as low
water. There were fifteen mills run
ming this Loon, and the seven using
water exclusively for power were
having good deal of difficulty about
keeping their machinery going,
even at very largely reduced output.
The eight mills employing steam are
doing about an equal amount of work
as last week. The daily flour output
will probably amount to between 1900
and $4,000 barrels. One firm is storing
flour to some extent, having possibly
$4,000 barrels on hand. A decided dull
ness still pervades the flour market and
prices are lower than week ago. A
certain local firm is claimed to have cut
prices 10 cents to Is cents per barrel.
and while the others were unwilling to
meet the reduction, values were shaded
nearly all round. The foreign trade is
rather better, more inquiries being re-
ceived. together with some orders. A
considerably lower through rate from
Chicago to foreign points has been
made this week, enabling millers to sell
little cheaper than formerly. The di-
rect exports of flour for the week end
ing Feb. were 33,200 barrels, against
$4,000 barrels the preceding week.

A SLAYER OF WHALES.
Some of Capt. Vests Experiences
---How a Leviathan Is Killed.

---How a Leviathan Is Killed.
"You see," said Capt. West yesterday,
speaking of his whale, 81 have been
round these monsters of the ocean, oil
bags as you might call 'em, for so many
years that look upon 'em much in the
light of 'cheStnutS,' as the boys say
round the towns, but suppose mighty
lot of interest attaches to such sight
around inland places. Anyhow, l know
the folks come rushing in wherever we
go. Whaling risky life? Well, young
sters, l reckon it is to greenhorn, but
when man knows the ropes he ought
to get back to port all safe. Whaling
ships generally start from Province
town, Mass, that is by Cape Cod. l
have been in the business ever since
boy of twelve years old, but only saw
with us. 1t was just seventy-three feet
long, and this one is close second,
with SiXty-five feet for its dimensions.
Commercially it belongs to the least
valuable class, the finbacks. because
they lack Oil-giving powers. The man
ner OF killing is interesting. In the
case of the finbacks the harpoOn is
never used; instead an instrument
called bomb lance. This is aimed at
the heart, and it takes a steady hand
and eye in doing the act. Wages are
paid in different way to those in this
occupation than in most others. Cap
tains are allowed one barrel in ten,
mates get one barrel out of twelve, and
the hands each receive per cent of the
receipts. A trip often lasts over six
months, but coasters only stay out of
of port for day or so. The whale on
exhibition was caught by one of these
coasters only twenty miles from the
main land, off Sequin island, which is
nebec river. For years have spent my
winters il the waters of the Caribbean

THE POOR AND SICK.
The City's Care of Them---A Good
Case for Investigation.


At the meeting of the supervisors of
the poor yesterday afternoon, Supt.
Curtiss made his report for January,
showing the nature and extent of the
work of caring for the city'S poor and
sick.
Number of applications for aid 7S9:
number of cases of relief granted in
groceries, 329; number of orders given
for groceries, 355; cost, S929.O5; orders
for wood given, 296. costing 81, ,034; num-
ber sent to hospitals, 5S; now in hOspl-
tails, 81; hospital expenses, s5S3.63;

$500; number of visits, paid
burials furnished, ,21; number of persons
furnished transportation to other places,
25. Total expenses of department,
S3,362.12.
The board decided to retain Is cents
on each cord of wood delivered by John
Norton until the orders for the same
are returned. The bill of DR.. A. A
Ames for attending Andrew Giske was
approved.
BRINGING PAUPERS TO MINNEAPOLIS.
Supt. CurtisS suggested that the man
ner in which hospital aid associations
care for their subscribers should be
looked into. He cited the instance of a
man named Baly with an injured foot,
whom he had been obliged to send to
the poor farm. This man had a certifi-
cate of membership in the American
Hospital Aid association, which reads
as follows:
This certifies that Fl. G. Baly, upon
payment of $40, is entitled to admission
and medical and surgical treatment iu
the hospitals of this association, at Mill
neapoliS and Grand Rapids, Minnesota,
Eau Claire, Wausau and Ashland, Wis,
at any time within one year from the
date of this ticket, in consequence of
wounds, injuries or sickness hereafter
received OF contracted which shall dis
able him from manual labor; and also the
sum of five dollars per week additional
aid, for his comfort and necessities,
while he remains under treatment as a
patient in said hospitals by reason of
accidental injury happening from eXter-
nal violence, and showing visible signs
thereof. Insanity, delirium tremens,
and contagious diseases are excepted
from this contract.
The certificate was issued Dec. 16 at
Deron d Trombly'S lumber camp, and
is signed by Dick Bond, the agent of
the association. Baly was sent to Min
neapolis and applied at the associations
hospital, corner Washington and Elev-
enth avenues south. His foot was
lanced. but the hospital refused to live
up to its contract and would not keep
him, so he was obliged to apply to the
city for aid.
1t looked to the board as though the
hospital association was inducing in
jured men to come to Minneapolis and
be cared for by the city, and the case
will be investigated by Aids. Gleason,
Garvey and Kerr as a committee.

designed scenery and effects such as have
never been seen in this city since this
exceedingly strong drama packed to the
doors, night after night, the old
Academy of Music. The story told is of
the trials of "Hazel Kirke," the daughter
of the well-tO-dO miller whose temper
causes him to cast Off his daughter, by
which she suffers untold misery. The
scene when Hazel sings the familiar air
to her craZed and blind old father, where
the old miller eXclaims, believing her
drowned, "Her voice from heaven sing
ing to me the old song," will probably
never be forgotten as long as thereiis a
theater in the land.
In addition to the Mormon Queens
combination at the Theatre COHique,
there will be a pugilistic attraction of
note and the meeting of Ike Weir and

FILM PLANNING.
A Sharp Practice From Which
the UnSODhisticatedS Suffer

the UnSOphiSticateu Sufcr-
The examination of Lewis Hummell
occupied yesterday afternoon in the
municipal court. A farmer named
Snow came to the city from AnOka
about week ago and sold load of
pork to Hummell at the market house.
When Hummell paid the money over.
according to the old mans story, he first
counted it out, and suddenly exclaimed,
Your team is getting away" When
Snow came back Hummell handed him
the roll of bills, which he put into his
pocket. When he came to count the
money over again he found he was S2S
short. This process of swindling is
criminally called "tiim fiamming," and
there have been numerous complaints
from farmers. Harlow Gale, the pro-
prietor OF the market house. aided Snow
in having Hummelf prosecuted. Hum
melPs identity as the man who turned
the trick was not clearly established,
however, and he was allowed to so.

If clouds drive up high from the south
expect thaw.
If shooting stars fall in the south in

In winter, if the fences and trees are
covered with white frost, expect thaw.
A very heavy white frost in winter is
followed by thaw.
White frost on three successive nights
indicates thaw.
Hogs rubbing themselves in winter
indicates an approaching thaw.
When in winter pigs rub against the
