A DOUBLE SURPRISE. lady and gen. tleman were travelling together on an En- glish railway. They were perfect stran. gers to each other. Suddenly the gentle. man said Madam, will trouble you to look out of the window for a few min utes. I am going to make some changes in my wearing apparel" "CertaInly, sir, "replied she, with politeness, rising and turning her back upon him. In short time he said "Now, madam, my change is complete and you may resume your seat"
 When the lady turned she beheld her male companion transformed into a dash ing lady, with heavy veil over her fnce.
 "Now, sir, or madam, whichever you like, said the lady, 'I must trouble you to look out of the window, for also have some changes to make in my apparel"
 Certainly, madam, and the gentleman in lady's attire immediately complied. 'Now, sir, you may resume your seat. r
 To his great surprise, on resuming his seat, the gentleman in female attire found his lady companion transformed into a man. He then laughed and said "It appears that we are both anxious to avoid recognition. What have you done? I have robbed a bank l''

New York Telegram: Mir. Binito Mich. ols, who recently returned from South America has fine collection of tiger claws. They were shown to some friends in an up. town hotel the other evening, and most formidable weapons they were, too. These claws are like flat bone hooks, as sharp as knives and strong as steel. Some of the larger ones were an inch in diameter at the base, curving around to a cutting point at the tip. With these fearful claws full. grown tiger can slit man open as with n razor, or tear the clapbands from a horse or the hide from wild bullock of the pam. pas. The most ferocious of these South American tigers are found in the timber groves along the Parana river, in Para. quay, about eighteen miles from the At lantic coast. Americans and Europeans shoot large numbers of the beasts, but the Indians and other natives make regular business of killing them, and selling their magnificent skins. For stealthy, cold blooded deviltry the Paraguay tiger has no rival outside the New York bucket shops.

Well Represented.

1t rather surprised the average spec
tatOr Wednesday when noting the great
number and variety of the industries
represented in the parade, that col
lege of shorthand, typewriting and
telegraphy should be able to turn out a
large float. But the principal of the
Eclectic college is always alive to the
advantages of a representation OIL such
occasions, and the great parade was
made more interesting by a special and
single feature. which attracted it's full
share of attention. The float was one
of the largest, and contained the gradu-
ating class, twenty-five young ladies
and gentlemen of the college. They
were, as might be expected, mere

"DO you think him sane or crazy?"

yesterday in the investigation of Mich

invariably came the reply;

Kill is not on trial for the crime for
which he is charged-murder-but the
investigation is for the purpose of deter
mining whether or not he is capable of
making a rational defense. 1t is not
claimed that he was insane at the time
he murdered Kohn, but has become in

into the large elevators, cannot be sub
mitted to by free people. The wheat

INTERSTATE COMMERCE.
F0urth-We are in hearty accord with
the principles of the interstate COM
merce laws, and ask our delegates in
Washington to use their endeavOrs to
amend the law in the interest of the
people. We also commend the Bust
ness Mems association, of Minnesota,
for their laudable efforts in the same di-
recti0n.
Fifth--We reiterate our demand for the
complete separation of our agricultural
college from the state university. The
action OF the regents since the adjourn
ment OF the last legislature does not, in
our opinion, meet the necessities of the
case.
DAIRY INTERESTS.
We condemn all traffic in substitutes
for natural foods, such as butterine,
ole0, etc, and ask that laws be enacted
prohibiting their manufacture and sale.
THE TARIFF.
We demand the revision of the pres
ent Ubiquitous tariff and ask our
Minnesota delegates in Washington
to use their utmost endeavOrs to
have placed upon the free list lumber,
iron, salt, wool, coal and all articles for
which trusts" have been or may here
after be formed, as the producers of the
Northwest are forced to sell their
products in competition with the pro-
ducers of the Old world. They ask also
to be allowed to purchase in the cheapest
markets without paying this no longer
necessary tribute TO our own govern
ment.

the GLOBES staff. When he came to
the GLOBE he hustled for the police
run, anu covered the city in his pecu-
larly lurid style by day and night. 1t
was while doing this work that he got
on intimate terms with ClOthes-Line
Williams, Reach-For-It Jones and the
other members of that select c0terie of
trampS that toast their ShinS every win
ter night around )ailer O'Keefe' stove at
the city lookup. Mr.. Holmes at once
organized the Tramps' lyceum, over
which he presided in person at meet
lngs held every week during the winter.
MIR. Holmes was then made assistant
city editor of the paper, and while his
work has been of all kinds and styles,
he has since been so listed on the sched-
ule. Last winter he represented the
GLOBE at the Dakota territorial legiSla-
ture at Bismarck. and sized up the poll
ticianS and billiards to the queen S
taste over the signature of lice Aitch."
A residence of two years in Dakota, and
his intimate association with Maj. Ed
wards and Col. Plummer, of the Argus,
coupled with a vivid and somewhat
reckless imagination, and strong vein
of humor, has made him the leading
Northwestern authority on snake,
poker and blizzard stories. He has
power of description that
often rises above the routine of cold
facts and carries him into the realm of
bOundleSS MulhattaniSm, in which he
sails along as reckleSSly as one of his
own blizzard heroes does through the
Northwestern atmosphere.
During the summer of 1856 Mr.. Holmes
suffered from two severe hemOrrhages of
the lungs, which Frustrated him for a
time, and he has never fully regained
his health. 1t is to try warmer climate
that he goes to California. He will do
editorial work, temporarily at least, on
the Oakland Times, and if the residents
of the Pacific slope are not soon reading
some OF the choicest snake stories OF
the century, it will be because the

ture remained below zero all the time
both day and night, except on the 18th
and 18th, when a few degrees above was
indicated towards midday. The average

1.-The records, dating from 1870 to now,

the lowest previous to the above. But
after all there has been one colder JAN
uary than the one in question, the one
of 1875, which had an average tempera-
ture of 2-5 deg. below. Last months av-
erage was o deg. below. The maximum
temperature was 81 deg. on the 3Oth.

STORIES WE'RE TOO LARGE.
Commissioner Gibbs Found
Browns Valley in Pretty Good
Condition

Il have just returned from Browns
Valley" said Railway Commissioner
Gibbs last evening. 81 found the people
well supplied with wood, coal and all
the neceSsaries OF life. Indeed, the dan
ger of running out of wood, coal and
groceries was greatly exaggerated.
Of course if the blockade had continued
until spring such thing would have
happened, but there was no immediate
danger when these reports were circu-
lated. The people of Browns Valley
are not at all pleased with some of the
highly colored statements in regard to
the matter. 1t is prairie country, and
such blockadeS are likely to occur at
any time.''
