THE SKI RACE.
Peter Brenshoim the Winner After
an Exciting Contest.

The lOng-talked-Of ''ski'' race between
the members of the Minneapolis Ski
club took place yesterday afternoon,
despite the fact that the thermometer
marked several degrees below zero.
The run was made from
the corner of Fourth street and First
avenue south to Lowry's hill in the
presence of large number of Specta-
tors. At the hill the real fun began.
The ''hOp" was seventy feet long and
eight feet high, and here it was that
many of the contestants met defeat.
Many cOmical mishaps occurred. but
no one was hurt. The contest finally
narrowed down to NJ. Dahl, Ole Ras-
mussen and Peter Brensholm. The lat
ter, after long seige at the hop, car
ried off the championship medal. The
Judges were W. II. Gjirtson, w. E. Has
kell, John Ofstie, Tom Overland and
Nicolay Grevstad. This ski racing is
one of the prettiest amusements that
has ever struck the Northwest and is
growing in popularity every year.

THE BARBER OF PRINKIPo

A majority of the inhabitants of

S. S. Cox, late minister to Turkey, thus
Prinkipo, who was determined to dis

Maltese, Slav, Bulgarian or Monte

edge of tongues:
You have been here long?" he asks.
Ireply in Bohemian: NE"
"YOu are here for your health?'

negatively: ia, nei, min herre." This
puzzles him.

"YOu will bring your vessel to Prin-

respond in Polish: "1ak" no).
''YOu will visit Egypt?''

''Can't you remember the only nation

''Oh, Switzerland

And SO the matter rested, but next

THE GREAT FLOUR TRAIN
Reached Boston in Good Time,
False Reports to the Contrary.

oiSC AACpOftS ~ IuC contrary.
The first great flour train from Min
neapOlis reached Boston at IL p. m.
Thursday evening, being one week in
transit. Considering the state of the
weather this is remarkably good time.
The train passed through New Hamp-
shire and Massachusetts towns by day
light and attracted much attention.
COngratulatory kilograms have been
sent the millerS of Minneapolis and the
800" line. Chicago and other papers
from time to time have given accounts
of this train being showed in, and have
stated that its cargo consisted of 5000
barrels of flour. To set at rest all con-
trOversy on this subject, the train was
not delayed at any point by reason of
snow. and actually CONTAINED 10000 bar
rels of flour, which is the largest ship
ment of flour ever made in a like GUAM

The screed published IN late issue
of your paper over the signature of ii.
j. Peck relative to the case of the state
against Mr.. Barnard for the sale of
adulterated milk, contains little worthy
of consideration OF reply, and that little
is deserving of such treatment simply
to show its utter lack of foundation in
fact. With the personalities of which
the article is almost entirely made up, l
have no desire to deal, since the issue
raised by this case is not an issue be-
tween Mr.. Barnard's attorney and the
dairy commissioner or any of its officials,
but between the great body of milk

A Viennese Dramatist.

Alexander Strakosch, from the I'M
perial theater, Vienna, appeared before
an audience of his cOuntrymen last
night at the Harmonic hall. This tai
ented gentleman is superb actor and
reciter. He has pleasant, refined ap-
pearance, and in the narrow opportunity
given him last night showed himself an
actor of sterling merit, and a scholar in
all his work. Seldom do the long and
suffering American people hear such
elegant German spoken in such
liquid tones as he used last night
1t was like hearing the finest Shake
speare rendered by mastery elocu-
zionist, and having the recitation inter-
rupted by couple of Welshmen quar-
reling in their native gibberish. His
repertoire last evening included the
third act of Julius Caesar, the fourth
act from 1.-The Robbers" Schiller. and
concluding with charming little ballad
from Heinrich Heine. Herr Strakosch left
last night for st. Paul, but he intends to
appear again in this city next Sunday at
Germania hall. The attendance was
miserably small. presumably from the
severe weather, but those who stayed
away missed veritable dramatic treat.

THE RATE WAR QUIET.
Everything Was Compare

Yesterday.
The 500 Raised the Rate on
Flour According to
Notice.
Great improvements Prom
ised by the st. Paul &

Meeting To-day in Chicago
Northern Pacific Earn
ingS.

The rate war was very quiet in st.
Paul yesterday. The 500 raised rates
on flour according to notification, to take
effect OH the 25th inst. They will. on
and after that date be 35 cents through
to New York, 40 to Boston and 32112 to
Philadelphia. 1t is not at all probable
that any further disturbances in rates
will be made until the result of the
meeting to be held at Chicago to-day is
made known. The fact that all the
roads not heretofore in the association
the Burlington IL Northern, the st.
Paul IL Kansas City, and the 500 line
have consented to attend this meeting
has inspired some of the officials with
the hope that something may be accom-
plished that will check the war and
cause restoration. The 500 line, it is
understood, will insist upon a 10 per
cent differential on through business to
the seaboard. The strong roads would
probably grant the demand, but the
Burlington d Northern declares that it
must have the same through rate as
made by the $780," and the st, Paul d
Kansas City will insist upon the same
rates as by the Burlington Il Northern.

CHICAGO BOODLERS.
The Decision OF the Lower Court
Affirmed in Both Cases.

Affirmed in Both Cases.
CHICAGO, Feb. Ii. - The appellate
court handed down its long looked for
decisions i'll the Doodle cases this morn
ing. Both eases are affirmed. One was
the case of Edward $. Mcdonald, for
merly engineer of the county hospital,
who was tried Jointly with McGarigle.
After the verdict McGarlgle escaped to
canada, evidently fearing the three
years penalty imposed by the jury. As
lie was never sentenced by the court,
the appeal was only taken in McDon-
aid behalf. The other ease is known
as the omnibus case, in which twelve
defendants, eleven of whom were county
or eN-county commissioners. were put
on trial. Judge Beckwith appeared as
counsel for Mcdonald, although he
did not participate in the trial.
Alexander Sullivan was chief
counsel for the defendants in the
omnibus case in their appeal, and was
the only one of the seven lawyers Origi-
nally engaged for the defense who was
retained in the appeal proceedings.
During the trial George {. Klehm, eX-
president of the county board, arose and
plead guilty in the presence of the jury,
after having assumed to be defending in
good faith with the other eleven. 1t
subsequently became known that while
klehm was attending the consultations
of his co-defendants, he was clandes-
timely meeting States Attorney Grin
nell every night and carrying to him the
secrets of the defense. The jury con-
victed all eleven and fixed the punish
ment of four at fine of 81, 900 each, and
for the remaining seven at two years
Imprisonment in the penitentiary. The
four who were fined promptltpaid their
fines. One of the seven, Ca!.; T. :.
McClaughrey, man siXty-fiN years
Old, refused to appeal and went diIe,tIy
to the penitentiary. Attorney &u.i.v;. /
later secured stay Of execution until
March for all the defendants.

The Three Years Limit.
Special TO the Globe.


WASECA, Mimi, Feb. 16.-A commit
tee of citizens visited Faribault yester-
day to meet with the Representatives of
the st. Paul & Duluth Railroad COM
pany and ascertain what proposition
they wished to make with reference to
the running of the proposed line of
road from st. Paul to Omaha through
this city. Tie proposition made On the
part of the company was that if this
city would secure right of way through
this county, and depot grounds therein
without costs to the company, and allow
the company three years in which to
put the road in operation after securing
the same the company would insure the
location of the line through this city.
The only objection raised on the part of
the citizens is the three years. time.
With that eliminated the proposition
would be accepted. An interview with
prominent officials of the st. Paul Il
Southern railroad, residents of this city,
reveals the fact that arrangements have
been made, which insure the completion
of their line, which will be parallel with
the one above mentioned, prior to Sep

house within a short distance of the

three or four times before daylight.
Early that same morning he went away,
informing the landlady that he would
be away for two or three weeks, and re-
QueSted that his room be kept for him
and that no one be allowed to fool
around it," Monday afternoon last the
lady went to clean suit opening from
Cartwrights room. She was amazed to
ind large quantity of silverware, cut
lery, parlOr ornaments, ETC.. evidently
the proceeds of DurglarieS. The police
were at once notified and since that
time have been quietly working to trace
and arrest Cartwright. The connecting
}
Smell job may be in the fact that man
answering description of the missing
ledger is said to have called OH Mr.
Smell three or four days before the MUIR
der on the pretense of securing a loan
on some property. This would have
afforded an opportunity of looking the
ground over and observing something of
Mr.. Smells methods. An excellent de-
scription of Cartwright has been OBJ
tanned, and he is thought to
be still in hiding i'm the
city. If he is not caught within
day or two it is probable that the
