Held By the Enemy" at the
GRANDPA Pium Pudding

There is always a fascinating glamor
about military life and military events,
and there is no sort OF stage prOduc-
ton which is usually more captivating
to an audience than one that is well
filled with stirring martial features. Mr..
Gillette was fortunate in this respect
in hitting on a subject for his play,
Held by the Enemy" The scene is
laid in Virginia town, and the period
is the last year of the civil war. The
plot is well constructed and full of eX-
ceedingly strong dramatic situations.
1t was stroke of genius on the part of
the author to introduce two heroes into
the play, one wearing the blue
and the other the gray, both of
them manly characters and both equally
exciting the admiration OF Americans,
without regard to their sectional preju-
diceS or SympathieS. maybe. Col. Pres
colt, of the Union army, and Lieut..
Hayne. of the Confederate side, are
typical American soldiers who hold
honor above life, and although they
had the misfortune to love the same girl
in addition to being pitted against each
other in war, the SympathieS of the
auditor are made to divide so evenly be-
tween the heroes that one is led to re-
greet that both could not have married
her. A fair criticism of both the play
and the performance of it at the Grand
last night is that it is one of the
strongest and most interesting per-
formanceS that has been seen here
this season. The scenic effects are par
ticularly good, there being much to pro-
duce realistic revival in the minds of
old soldiers of events Of the war days.
The company is evenly balanced. Mr..
Wilson might inject little more ami
nation into the part of Col. Prescott,
and Mr.. Haworth might diminish little
of the fustian in his rendition of
the part of Lieut.. Hayne without
detracting from the merit of the per-
Torrance. 1t would be difficult to sug-
gest an improvement in the acting of
Miss ThOrne and Miss Schell, who carry
the parts of the sisters with admirable
taste and correct ideas of the characters
they assume. The same bill the re-
mainder of The week

HE WORKED IN POLITICS.
Walter Thomas Mills Talk on the
Workshop VS.. the GrOoShon.

Walter Thomas Mills Talk on the
Workshop VS.. the GrOgshOp.
Walter Thomas Mills delivered his
lecture, "The Workshop versus the
Grogshop," at Relief hall, on Ninth
street near Jackson, last night. The
admission was free and the
audience was, consequently, large.
Mr.. Mills has a way of speaking
entirely different from the usual con-
ventional manner of the lecturer. He
speaks in a conversational tone, and
sticks closely to his subject, without in
dulging in any rhetorical freaks. His
address last night was nothing more
that political stump speech from the
prohibition standpoint. He attacked
bya sort of ridieule both of the Republic
ans and Democrats. He asserted that
no political party could be better than
any faction of the party large enough to
lose the party its power, and said that
about three-fOurthS of Republicans and
three-fourthS of the Democrats were
good men, but the other One-fOurth con-
trolled the fate of either party. He
thinks if the internal revenue were
abolished there would be no treasury
surplus and no whisky pool, but he says
the Prohibition party is marching On to
victory and hasn't time to consider
these questions, for when the prohibit
tory law is passed there will be no need
Of considering them.

WHY Is DAKOTA OUT?
A Talk With Judge Moody, "Sena-
tor" From South Dakota.

the opposition to the admission of Da-
kota," said Hon. G.. c. Moody, of Dead

senator from the state of South Dakota
a couple of winters ago, land | say this
after spending month at the capital
among our lawmakers. Since
the 18th of December have
been talking with public men
on this question, and the bill now before
the senate, which with amendments was
substituted for the Harrison bill of last
season, was drafted by myself, 1t was
first submitted to meeting of Dako-
tianS. among whom were MeSSrs. Klein
er. King, Pettigrew, Day and Delegate
Clifford, all of whom expressed them
selves satisfied with its provisions, and
Mr.. Clifford introduced it in the house.
1t urges the admission of South Dakota
as a state and the passage of an enab-
ling act to fit North Dakota to make the
same application after complying with
the requirements of congress, and will
give the people of South Dakota an OPP
pOrtunity to vote at the next president
ial election. This, however, does not
commend the measure to statesmen of
SIringer'S stripe and the latter has antag-
0nlZed one Dill with one tnat, II passed,

iZation of the territory of Dakota, en-
tail endless litigation regarding titles to
property, and in fact do everything eX-

''Senator Hearst. the new Democratic
senator from California, who is prac-
tical business man,iS one of our friends,
and had no hesitancy in stating that he
would support the bill for two states
being formed out of our territory, as he
was convinced not only that it would
be iudiciouS, but absolutely essential to
the future welfare of the portion of
the Northwest 400 miles square"
But, underlying all the opposition.
is the fear that Dakota, if divided into
two states, would give Republican ma
jorities for the the president, and this
the Democracy will not allow to sink
into the insignifcance that it deserves.
For it is not question of partisanship,
but one of justice that now confronts
congress regarding Dakota, and it is a
crying shame that 600, 600 American citi-
zens are DISTINGUISHED to crafty the
whim of few so-called public men and

ROTUNDA RIPPLES.
What Some Well-Known Men
Found to Talk About Yesterday.

"
Among the blockaded ones in st. Paul
was Judge EdgertOn, of Dakota, who
left for home last evening upon receiv-
ing assurances that the snow blockade
had been temporarily raised. He found
time, however, to say to the GLOBES
representative that, while his preference
was for division of Dakota, vet if the
people of the territory and the general
government thought it judiciouS to adj
init it as one state he was for the inter-
ests of Dakota all the time. Accord
ing to Gov. Church's message" said the
judge, 1.-THE population of Dakota is
about 100000, South Dakota containing
three-fifths of this number. 1t is a
question i'll my mind whether anything
will be accomplished at Washington
this winter in regard to admission, not
alone on account of the conflicting in
tereStS representing Dakota, but
from the fact that other territories are
knocking at the door of statehood and
claim priority over Dakota in this mat
ter. Those who are advocating one
grand state of Dakota are doubtless
sincere in their professions, but | have
not been convinced that division would
not rebound to our material benefit in
every way"

weeks" said Hon. H.B. Strait, of Shak-
opee, ''pgrtly to escape from this cold

Railroads in our vicinity are pretty clear
of snow now and trains are rum ng as
usual, but the wagon roads are still i'm
passable, owing to the heavy SNOW
drifts. While there has been great
deal of suffering entailed by the cold
snap, have not heard of any fatal re-
suits in the neighbOrhoOd of ShakOpee.
