Insurance Companies Object to

There has been hitch somewhere
between the owners of the burnt opera
house and the insurance companies adj
justers. The latter fixed a price as the
estimated loss which, apparently, the
trustees of the Davidson estate would
not except. The insurance companies
have the right to place the building In
the condition it was in before the fire,
as one way of settling the loss. When
they did not seem to be able to come to
any definite conclusion about a settle

Harry Carter, the architect, to pre-

some time Mr.. Carter has been at work
on this. He has carefully Inspected the
ground and what is left of the building
in his efforts to see if it could not be re-
built for a less outlay of money than,

the owners. An able-bodied rumor was

FEE SAYS IT'S A FAKE.
The Alleged Slaughter of a Party
of Tourists in Yellowstone Park
Shown to Be a Ghost Story.

Charles S. Fee, general passenger
agent of the Northern Pacific railway.
read the sensational dispatch from
Cheyenne In yesterdays GLOBE rela-
tive to the slaughter of party of tour
lists in the Yellowstone park, and con-
tributes the following:
''In regard to the sensational dis
patch from Cheyenne published in the
st. Paul and Minneapolis papers, | am
in receipt to-day of dispatch from E.
Lamertine, of Mammoth Hot Springs,
Yellowstone National Park, superin-
tendent of roads and bridges in the
park, in which he says that there are
no tourists in the park: no scout by the
name of Ferry known in that section of
the country, and that there has not been
an Indian in the park for over two
years. Lamertine's experience in the
park. covers five years, and he is not
only familiar with the roads and trails,
but is probably better acquainted with
trappers and hunters in the Northwest
than any other man in Montana or
Wyoming. IL is absurd to suppose that
tourists. who are most eXacting
in gathering information as to
the. routes OF travel, especially
foreigners, would attempt to go into the
ginia City, mining camp twenty-five
miles away from the railroad, and over
sixty miles west of the northwest corner
of the park, when by taking at San
Francisco the Shasta line and the North
ern Pacific railroad they could have
come directly to Livingston, Mont,
there connecting with our park branch
trains, which make three round trips
per week during the winter months be-
tween Livingston and Cinnabar, the
terminal station on the northern
boundary of the park. and but six miles
from Mammoth Hot Springs, from which
point it might be possible to go through
the park during the winter months.
Prof. F. Jay Haynes, of Fargo, official
photographer of the Northern Pacific,
is the only person who has ever made
the park trip in the winter. He stated
on his return that he would not have
missed the trip for $500, but would not
attempt it again for 5000 The author
of this dispatch referred to says that
Ferry is tough character. This may
be true, but l will venture the assertion
that Nh. Ferry cannot hold candle to

COOLEST OF THE WINTER.
February Weather Analysed by
One of Uncle Sam's Exnerts


Observer Healey, of the United States
signal service, makes report-of Feb
ruary weather of which the following is
a synopsis: AS compared with the nor
NAL February temperature, last month
was degrees colder, and was the cold
est month of the present winter. The
snowfall was nearly up to the average,
falling principally between the Sd and
10th, and on the 2lst and oath. The
range of pressure was two inches. an
unusual thing, and the prevailing wind
was northwest. The 23d was the cold
est day, and the 2Sth the warmest. The
range of temperature for the state was
9.5 deg, the minimum being -44.5 at
Grand Forks on the Esd, and the max
lmum So at Duluth on the 18th. The
average precipitation was 0.ST inch.
the total varying from inches at Med
ford to II at Leech Lake dam. The
depth of unmelted snow remaining on
March varied from none to 5 inches in
the southern part of the state to from Z
to IL inches in the north. The maximum
barometer was 31.1 at Morris on the 4th,
the mean 80. 1S9, and the range for the
state 1.99S. The heaviest storm occurred
on the 4th, when the minimum barom-
eter was reached. Between the 4th
and 18th the barometer remained low.
but started to rise rapidly on the 21st,
continuing to rise until the 23d, when
readings of 81 were obtained.

Inauisitors i'm Session.

An adjourned session of the grand
jury was held in the Odd Fellows
block yesterday morning. The bust
ness before the jury is both grave and
great. When Judge Kelly charged
them in January he put particular
stress upon the report of the former
grand jury, in which the low dives, sa-
looms of>ili repute, houses of prostitu-
tons and like dens were dragged over
the Goals and allowed to roast minute.
He charged them to inquire into these
degrading and debasing resorts, and if
need be to determine upon definite ac-
ton against them. Considerable anx-
iety is manifested on the part of those
interested in adjustments under the
general blanket head, in the courts
charge. which pronounced them "dens
of iniquity." The jury, however, will
probably not report for week. and it.
may be possible that it is considering
the vice-breeding nests.

grief at the occurrence. An old &C
Quaintance of Mr.. Moore, who has
known the family for many years, tells
the following story of their marriage:
Moore married his present wife's sister
when his present wife was only child.
When about fifteen years old she ran
sway with a commercial traveller, but
her parents. who are very well-to-do
and highly respectable people at Orillia,
Ont. got her back. In the meantime
Moore's first wife died. shortly after
which he opened correspondence with
her sister. He never cOurted her eX-
cept by letter. and married her at once
after meeting her. This romantic cpl
sode is probably the key to all the sub
sequent trouble, as man who has
scarcely seen his wife, and only courted
her by letter, runs a good deal of risk III
marrying.

Smith, met at the county auditors office
yesterday moaning. and proceeded to
elect a county assessor to succeed J. l.
Beaumont. who has so efficiently

interested that Mr.. Beaumont

therefore resolved itself into search
for suitable successor. 1t was subse-
quently announced that MIR. Beaumont
intended to remain in office if success
full in securing the pledge of two out of
the three votes, and to that and he had
eXerted himself and asked Auditor

shows, received recognition from the

HPaxs to Take Risks,

Fire Insurance companies operating
in this state are in much healthier
condition to-day than they were twelve
months ago. The improved condition
of affairs is owing to the immunity from
great confiagrations which has eharac-
terized Minnesota within the past year.
State Insurance Commissioner Bailey
remarked that the total risks of these
companies for 1887 were s222. s31 $3.50.
and their premiums totaled S., 155, 074.22
The losses equaIed a percent of the
premiums. The figures for 1883 are
more reasuring. The total risks run
up to S237, sos, 1856, and premiums S.
a69, $50. %. The losses. however. only
equal 81 per cent of the premiums, a
reduction of IS per cent on the preced-
ing year. The mutual companies ey-
hibit the most gratifying results. for
whereas their losses of 1887 eGualed 1870
per cent of their premiums, last year
they merely reached II per cent.

MAKE CHILDHOOD SWEET.

Wait not till the little hands are at rest
Ere you fll them full of flowers;
Wait not for the GROWING tuberose
To make sweet the asst sad hours;
But while in the busy household band,
Your darlings still need your guiding
hand,
oh, fill their lives with sweetness!
Wait not till the little hearts are still
For the loving look or praise;
But while you gently chide fault,
The good deed kindly praise.
The word you would speak beside the bier
Falls sweeter far on the living ear;
., fill young lives with swcetness
All, what are kisses on cold, clay lips
TO the rosy mouth we press.
When our wee one flies 10 her mothers
arms
For loves tenderest caress,
Let never worldly bauble keep
Your heart from the JOY each day should
reap,
Circling young lives with sweetness.
Give thanks each morn, for the sturdy
boys,
Give thanks for the fairy girls;
With dover OF wealth like this at home
Would you rifle the e. nth of pearls
Wait not for death 20 gem Loves crown,
But daily shower life blessings down,
And I'LL young hearts with sweetness
Remember the homes where the light has
fled,
Where the rose has faded away;
Aud the love that grows in youthful
hearts,
Q, cherish il while you may
And make your home garden OF flowers,
Where Joy shall bloom through childhood S
hours,
And ill young hearts with sweetness
