The best feature was genuine Scotch

that he was suffering from neuralgia

SHE Ibid" THE OLD MAN.
A Part Of the Programme at the
Olympic Was Not on the Small
Bills

Bills.
The Olympic struck it rich when Man.
ager Hilton booked Budworth IL Brim-
mems Briliiants. 1t is one of
the best shows that has appeared
there this season. Budworth will be
remembered as one of tine oldest and
funniest MINISTRIES OH the stage, and is
ably seconded by Macmillan, an &C.
centric comedian. The best turn; is
done by Dick and Hattie Stewart. who
not only introduce a genuine Irish
comedy, but one of the best boxing
matches one would care TO witness.
Mrs. Stewart is large handsome woman
and noted as the best female boxer in
the United States, who holds oit a
standing challenge to the world. Her
husband is also very clever, and both
were pupils of Prof. Johnnie Clark, the
famous boxer now employed at the
Bodega. Clark was in the audience last
night. and. recognizing Mrs. Stewart,
sent the following note:
please knock the old man silly for me.
PROF. JohN CLARK"
Mrs. Stewart remembered the profess
sor kindly, and when the boxing match
occurred the audience went wild. Mrs.
Clark pounded the old man all over the
stage, in and out between the scenery,
and finally, with straight one from
the right, bunged up his left eve.
Following this with a terrific right
handler. she brought the claret. and the
audience could not contain itself. 1t
was rearly genuine boxing match, and
Clark said that great science was shown.
1t was rather surprise to old man
Stewart.

WALLACE NOMINATED.

Settled Their End Of the Alder
manic Fight.

manic Fight.
A nomination of candidate for alder
man in the Tenth ward has at length
been made, and by the Prohibition
party. Thomas w. Wallace received
the nomination at last nights Prohibit
ton caucus at Hamline by vote OF a
to . amid great enthusiasm. During
the last two days the members Of the
party were beSieged by men from the
citizens movement and committees of
the Republican club begging them to
take no action in the Tuesday night
caucus, with the hope that they might
be induced to make a union with one of
the other parties, but it was of no avail.
The caucus was called to order about
$50 and DR.. A. W. Edwards appointed
chairman. After prayer the first bust
ness was the adoption of the following
resolution unanimously:
Resolved. That the prohibition of the
liquor traffic is the greatest political
question before the people.
That we demaId of the city authori-
ties the complete enforcement of the
prohibitory law governing our ward.
That we demand the prohibition of
the liquor traffic in city, state and ma
ton.
That the shortest and surest way to
prohibition is by building up party,
not only committed to, but also heartily
interested in both the enactment and
enforcement of prohibitory law.
The motion to proceed to the nominal
ton of candidate for alderman was
warmly discussed pro and con.
Prof. A. L. Drew said: IF we do
not nominate our man tonight, the Re-
publican party wants to nominate this
same man, and then when he is elected
he will be a Republican, and the object
OF this Republican club defeated. If
our man is their choice, let them in
dorse him in their caucus" When it
came to vote, T. ". Wallace received
the nomination by a vote OF A to 2.
George Drew. q. S. HemmenWay and
S. f. kerfoOt were appointed a ward
committee with power to appoint pre-
cinct committees. The citizens move
ment is still on foot and there are

TAXPAYERS AGAIN KICK.
The Union Replies to the School
Board-It Wants No Increase in
the Police Force.


the Police Force.
The st. Paul Taxpayers association
met yesterday and adopted reply TO
the document of the school directors, in
which the latter gentlemen squared
themselves two weeks ago, on the score
of extravaganza in conducting the pub
lie schools Of st. Paul. In its original
charge, the taxpayers union had COM
pared the cost per pupil in st. Paul
with the cost in Philadelphia. charging
that there was big balance in favor of
Philadelphia. In its document adopted
yesterday the union says:
After three months of deep inyestiga-
ton the board says the schools of Phila-
delphia cost them last year S13, SIS, s96. 81
and that they had 929,546 children at.
tending the public schools in that city.
That Philadelphia ranked the list of
fourteen prominent cities for school eX-
penses. The Philadelphia school board
answers back to-day that the cost of
the schools there last year was 81 ,6SS3,-
BSl.49, and the number of their scholars
was l07,Sl3. The st. Paul school board
made the small mistake of 1855, 215.12
IN school money expended, and mis-
take of 82l. 723 of too many children.
The cost per scholar reported from
Philadelphia for tuition alone is $40. 81.
'1n st. Paul it is S25.S4.
THE COST PER SCHOLAR
reported from Philadelphia for all ex-
penSes is SlG.57. In st. Paul it was last
year S43.12. This year it will probably
be over $50 a pupil. None of these fig
ures include moneys for new school
houses and lots. The president of the
Philadelphia school board sends us word
that the cost per scholar Gncluded In
the Sl6.51), is Sill for school books and
stationery. In st. Paul parents must
answer this question. The full detailed
reply of the Taxpayers ASSOCIATION
covers facts very interesting.
The document further saws that the
school tax in Philadelphia was but 2lI
mills on the dollar of real estate yalua-
tion, while the board of education asked
last fall for So mills on real estate and
personal property.
The union passed resolution that in
view of the fact that all sections of the
city are peaceable and quiet, and no dis
order is apparent anywhere, and in
view Of the fact that seven with our
carnival crowds, scarcely an arrest was
made Tor disorder" the union is dead

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

The little city Of Water Valley, Miss,
which, until noon Wednesday, was one
continuous round Of enjoyment, was in
mourning in the evening. The Yalla-
busha fire association had made the usual
preparations for their annual meeting,
and an immense crowd frcm neigboring
towns and villages had assembled to wit
ness the sport. AT o'clock, when about
four hundred had taken seats on the
grand stand, the building gave way and
fell into crash, burying in its ruins
men, women aud children. Indescribable
excitement and confusion followed. Strong
men turned pale at the scene; mothers
screamed for their lost children, and whole
families were pinioned, as it were, in a
solid mass under debris. Those who
were SO fortunate as to be on the outside
rushed to the rescue, and in short time
the imprisoned victims were released.
Seyehty-tiye people were taken out with
broken arms and limbs, bruised bodies
and almost every conceivable wound.
But il so happened that no one was killed
outright.
