TONIGHT WILL END IT.
The Normanna Fair At Its Height
1.-The Arrangements.

The NOrmama fair proper will end
tonight, and the prize drawing will be
conducted tomorrow. The contests
will close as follows: For the most
popular brewer, the public voting will
cease at 9 o'clock and the secret ballot at
10; for the most popular political club.
the polls Will close for open work at 10
and for the secret ballot at IL: the pub
lie voting for the most popular news
paper will end at IL and the secret bal
lot at midnight. Tomorrow the raf-
fling and other contests will be de-
cided.
The interesting event of last evening
was an address by eX-Gov. w. II. Yale,
OF WinOna. Judge Rand was formerly
law student in his office. and Gov.
Yale was present and gave his pleasant
address at the request of Judge Rand.
The attendance was larger. if possible,
than ever, and the hall and gal
Ieries were almost too crowded
for pleasure. Everything in
the merrymakiug line is doing
the managers are wreathed in perennial
smiles. Though the fair is Norwegian,
there is no clanniShneSS among the rep
reSentativeS of the Scandinavian trinity.
and the SwedeS and Danes are doing
their utmost to make it a success. The
old bitterness seems to be dying out
and there is an era of better feeling
daWnlng. From present indications the
fair will net a handsome sum for the
benefit of Normanna hall, which can
then be pushed TO completion. Tonight
being the last. there Will be probably
the largest turn out of the season.

Why Ames Should Resign.

To the Editor of the Globe.
1t appears by the published interviews
of the leading Democrats that the act
extending all city officers terms which
would expire this coming spring by
right does not look quite SO obnoxious
to the Office holders now as it did last
spring. don't believe that any one
even dreamed of the little fry resigning.
but looked for them to hold Oh to their
respective Offices while they could find
a toehOld. But l, with many others,
look for Mayor Ames tOresign when the
term which the people elected him for
has expired, thereby refusing to hold
office when not elected by the voice of the
people. Mayor Ames is indeed the
most popular man in the state of Mime
sofa to-day, but it is worse than folly to
attribute his popularity to his splendid
physique or his philanthropic heart
The true cause of his popularity is his
uncomprOmising hostility to anything
and everything that tends to take away
the liberties of the people, and the
manly way he has stood up and fought,
single-handed and alone, the cliques
and rings which have given birth to ev-
cry Sectarian law On our statute books
and engineered the many corrupt jobs
that now disgrace our fair city and
state. There are hundreds. nay thou
sands, of voters in the city not attached
to any party, but deeply interested in

Mexican Politics

CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. 26.-The presi-
Dental campaign may be considered
well under way, Gen. Diaz beingIth
leading candidate. More than fifty
interior newspapers have come out in
favor of his reelection, and a number
of Diaz clubs have been organized in
different parts of the republic. The
candidacy of Gen. Escobedo has appar-
emily received no support in the cOun-
try. and the various other candidates
mentioned from time to time do not
manage to secure backing in the press
or among the people. 1t is generally
conceded that Gen. Diaz will succeed
himself. The general opinion of the
press supporting him is that he has eff
fected SO many reforms during the first
three years of his present term and has
so many other important measures on
foot that it would not be wise to change
rulers. The army and Free Mason Or
CARNATIONS strongly support him. The
clerical party has not put forward any
candidate against him. The election
will take place next June. The term is
four years and begins Sept. l.

TWO STRONG POSITIONS.
A Nut for Chief OF Police Helm to
Crack.

To the Editor of the Globe.
AS lover of fair play and justice.
would like to have Chief of Police Helm
or some of his officers, explain a few
things. When the raid was made on
Tanners gambling house Tuesday after
noon, among the men ''pinched," as the
inspectors would say, was n. w. King,
once city detective, but now inter-
ested in private detective agency. In
the confusion at the central station,
when the wagon load of prisoners was
brought in, he managed to make good
his escape, as did also one
or two other well known
men. Some of the officers saw
two of the men leave, and [ have
reason to bell eve that one officer who
saw King make his escape did not ever
exert himself in trying to capture him.
But here comes the interesting part.
When Mr.. Helm learned that King had
been allowed to escape, he became
madly excited, and rushing to the
municipal court SwOre out warrant for
his arrest, on a charge of being an in
mate of gambling house. 1t might
look better if the chief would explain
why he did not also swear out warrants
for the Washington avenue saloon
keeper and the eX-minister who escaped
at the same time King did. But no, he
did not care whether they were '.pulled'
or not. TO man up tree it looks very
much as though the chief of police has
not forgotten the enmity that exists be-
tween his men and the detective agency
with which Mr.. King is connected, and
has caused his arrest simply as a matter
of revenge. For my part l do not care
if all the prisoners get away, as, to my
mind, the whole raid was made simply
for the purpose of ''squaring the depart
ment' with people who have been criti-
cising it rather strongly for some time
past. Then again, if MI. Helm OF Nh.
Hoy was so very anxious to do some
pulling why did they not raid no.
torious skin poker room that has been
running since early last spring within a
stones throw of the lookup. Nearly
every officer reporting at headquarters
knew of this room. Supt. Helm knew
or it, too, and probably has his private
reasons for not raiding it. Poor Jacob,
his race is nearly run. and he is simply
trying to cling on as long as possible.

A "Ghost"-Guarded Cavern.

A city of Mexico correspondent
writes. While on the subject of horrors
let me tell of 'ghost" -guarded cavern,
not far away, situated in canyon of
the Turres, a few miles from Cuerna-
vaca. All the hills of that section are
known to contain gold and silver, but no
prospectOr, unless he be a very Verdant
one, will venture near this ghost
infested gorge. Now and then some
doubling Thomas from Yankee land
shifts at the story and determines to
prove its falSity; but none have ever
been known to get into the cave. or to
attempt it a second time. Tradition
says that at the entrance of vast, black
hole In the mountain sits the corpse
or an Indian woman, and II one
shall attempt to pass her she will
clutch him with bony fingers, uttering
cries that are warranted to freeze the
blood Of the braveSt. The story goes
that in 1868 the cavern was occupied by
peaceful Indians of the TOnta tribe,
when a party of whites, simply for cruel
sport, CLEANED Out' and murdered
every one of them, and since that day
nobody has been able to enter the cave
because of the thing that sits at the
door. Not long ago couple
of Americans tried it, having been
SO foolish beforehand as to boast
of what they were going to do. Aft
er awhile one of them came back, with
shattered nerves and air distraught, and
the other has not been heard from since,
even by his partner. The man who re-
turned is strangely reticent on the sub
ject, but has confided a portion of his
experience to one or two persistent in
quisitors. He says they found the
gorge, away up amid the highest buttes
OF the Sierra, surrounded by the
most lonesome and God-forsaken
scenery it is possible to
imagine. Having no faith in the
stories, they walked boldly ahead, till
suddenly both felt a strange chill, as if
struck by an icy wind. At the same
moment fearful shrek, as if of
mingled rage and terror, arose, and
directly in front of them appeared
horrible figure-that of tall female
corpse-bearing down upon them with
claw like hands extended. 1t is need
less to add that they stood not upon the
order of their going, but ran for their
lives. and one of them seems to be run
ming still.

DIVIDED BY A HUNDRED.
Small Judgment Against the Ell
der-MiXed Court Notes.

The jury in the libel suit of C. L..
Smith VS.. Levi NJ. Stewart, for $50 900
damages, after being out all day, rem
dered verdict for the plaintiff in the
sum of $500. On the first ballot they
stood seven for the defendant and five
for the plaintiff, in the following
amounts: One for 500, one for $500.
two for $500, aud one for $1,000. The
case will probably be appealed.
SUBURBAN DAMAGE SUIT,
The case of the st. Louis Park Land
and improvement company against A.
DinsmOre q Son for $1,000 damages,
was on trial yesterday before Judge
Hicks. 1t appears from the evidence
that the plaintiff let a contract for fur
nishing the material and constructing
six houses, according to certain specifi-
cations, to the defendants, who agreed
TO have the houses finished by a certain
date, and to forfeit SO a day for every
day thereafter until finished. The
plaintiff claims that the houses were not
finished on the date agreed Oh, and that
none of them conform with the specifi-
cations, either i'll the material used or
according to the plans, and in cOnse-
quence of the failure of the defendants
to carry out the conditions of the agree
mcnt, the plaintiff has been damaged in
the sum of S4,050.

A Popular Conductor Dead.

S. S. Pixby, for the past three or four
years popular conductor Oh the Mani
toba Short Line and Lake trains, died at
st. Barnabas hospital Wednesday at 5
p. m. of typhoid fever at the age of 81
years, after an illness of about three
weeks. He was young man of unus-
ual promise in his profession, and his
death casts a gloom over all members of
it who know him. He had many
friends, both in and out of railroad cir
cleS, and was much esteemed among
his associates and the officers of the
road. His remains will be taken to his
home in Littlefield, Mimi. and inferred
of which body he was 32-degree mem
Der, and was also member of the Or
der of Railway Conductors. He leaves
awidOwed mother, three sisters and one

WHERE TO SLAUGHTER.
The Board OF Health Will Decide
the Place


The council committee recently ap-
pointed to fix the location of slaughter
houses met yesterday afternoon, with
every member present. The slaughter
house whose location is on the MiSSis-
sippi river, between Twenty-second and
Twenty-third streets south, is fast
becoming decidedly Objectionable. A
general discussion was had, in which
Health Officer KilvingtOn took an active
part. He thought that it was a mistake
to drive the slaughter houses out III the
country, where the whole country
around was polluted. He advocated
the plan of locating the houses
on the line of some sewer. and then
compelling the owners to keep the
places clean. 1t was better to have
them where they could be watched and
keeping things clean. The doctor
said that If the council would define a
location inside of the city limits all
Strengthening could be carried on there
safely and without nuisance. All of the
houses should not be in one place, he
said, but he did not see how it was to be
avoided. If one was located above
Single creek it would be above the flu
ture water intake and cOntaminate the
water supply of the city.
Aid. johnson thought it would be I'M
just for the city council to determine
upon a location. and said he was in IA
vOr OF having the board of health de-
eide upon the location.
Aid. Morse took hand at this point
and made kick on everything, on gen
eral principles. After few words with
DIR. Kilvington turned his back to that
gentleman and began chewing gum.
Aid. Johnson finally made motion to
the effect that no more slaughter houses
be allowed in the city except in places
where there is good water supply and
a good sewer drainage. This motion
carried. The board of health will de-
eide where all future slaughter houses
shall be located.

The Sugar Trust.

New YORK, Jan. 26.-The sugar trust
gave another evidence of its power yes
terday, when it ordered MOllor, Sierck
& Co. to close their refinery. One of
the firm said that the shut down would
not occur until the raw sugar on hand
had been used up. In the meantime
the firm notified its employees to look
out for new jobs. This is the fourth
sugar. refinery company that has been
fected in this city. The three others
were the North River. the Oxnarde and
the Havemeyer. All are members of
the trust necessarily. 1t was learned
that a movement is under way to build
a gigantic refinery in Philadelphia, and
the suppositiOn in lower Wall street is
that the new refinery will be used by
the trust to club the recalcitrant Phila-
delphia reiners, who now refuse, to

he hurriedly got himself into full set

The following characteristic converse
ton was overheard yesterday in one of
the halls of exchange, on Washington

Stronger Reasons Why the Hast
ings ~ Dakota Tracks Should Go
Down.
A shocking accident occurred at 5
o'clock yesterday afternoon, which re-
suited in the death of Jay, the eleven
year-Old son of DIR. William Jerman,
$500 Stevens avenue. The boy was
playing aOout the yards of the Pioneer
Fuel company, at the Stevens avenue
crossing OF the Hastings II Dakota
tracks. y switch engine was at work
shifting ears in and out of the yards,
and one of them cut down the little
boy. No one saw the accident, but it is
thought the boy climbed upon the
pilot and slipped off, the wheels
passing over him, dragging him fifty
feet and frightfully managing him. His
right arm and both legs were caught
between the wheel and truck, and he
suffered other injuries. A coal driver
saw the blood and picked up the boy,
placing him upon Il car door and carry
ING him home. He was conscious and
rational, though a delicate boy, but died
soon after reaching home. His parents
were overwhelmed with grief, as he was
an only child and fairly idoliZed.
Though no blame attaches to the rail
road company, the accident again stirred
up the vicinity and immediate action
was demanded. looking to the lowering
of the tracks. They are a constant
menace to life and limb, and one-fourth
OF this entire city is interested in seeing
this nuisance abated.

the Case---A New Suit.
The Ward divorce case is still Oh trial
in the district court, without any star t.
ling developments yesterday 1t ap-
pears so far that the efforts of the hus-
band to show any improper relations or
feelings between his wife and DR..
ThurstOn will prove futile. The wife's
story is that DR.. ThurStOn was called in
by her husband to help out his story of
her insanity, but, instead of doing so,
pronounced her sane and agreed to be-
friend her. \ deposition of DR.. Thurs
ton, who is in Boston. was placed in evil
dence yesterday, and corroborated the
testimony of Mrs. Wood. Mrs. George
III. Miller, to whom Mrs. Wood went
after she left her husband, testified that
she came to her like wounded bird.
1t is presumed the husband, carving
out his insanity theory, will endeavor to
show that these relations by his wife are
the results OF disordered Imagination.
