After being out about fifteen minutes,
the jury rendered verdict of guilty.
he, too, was sentenced to the
st. Cloud reformatory. Immediately
after the discharge of the jury one Of
the Jurors who had considered Ben
hams case, while pulling on his over
coat suddenly, staggered as though in
toxicated. Benham's attorney imme-
diately entered motion for new trial
on the ground that the juror was drunk.
But two other Jurors explained that the
man was i'll and weak. This satisfied
tire court, and the verdict stood. Ben
h; ms case ended the list, and court adj

gentleman stepped up to Judge Hicks
and stated that John Olson asked that
he be appointed attorney for Olson, who
is under indictment for grand larceny.
The judge cut him short, no viewer, de-
claring that the court would appoint at
torneys at its own discretion, and added
that he believed the court had been i'm

Over the wire the tidings came.
From the far West of fire and flame,
Where waters from the North come down
By Minnesota's fairest tIwn-
The watchman of the Associated Press,
True to his charge, though in distress,
Called to 1.-The boys:" far away
His click at first without dismay-
THE Tribune palace is Oh fire;
/ sit above the burning pyre."
Again his click came on the wire
1t sounded like trembling Tyre
of pathos. in the echo near.
That thrilled 1.-THE boys with sudden fear

I'm left upon the floor alone
Brothers. go, farewell farewell
More news tonight cannot tell
Good night good nightr'-the silence broke
That click, the last that Igoe spoke.
The parting click. the lingering sound
Through night and space its way had found.
Lest silence seem some proof of blame,
He sent the message through the flame.
The dumb machine on which he played,
The only friend that near him stayed,
Until at last with bated breath,
He sent that plaintive tick of DEATH
Il can no longer stay''-I go
To meet the rushing. deadly foe.
His click, "I can no longer stay"
Prophetic word from far away
1t meant. as prophets always mean,
Far more than by themselves is seen.
1t SCENE to ears that caught the sound,
1.-THE boys afar who gathered round,
A winged courier in the air,
The death watch ticking in the air.
To tell Of swift impending doom.
As long ago some martyr stood
UndaunIed mid the fiery food,
Brave Igoe stood, true to the last
Like martyr in the fiery blast
His hand upon the trembling chord,
To send the parting, faithful word
Brave watchman calling at his post
Though life and home and all were lost
Where his last click had sadly rung.
It may be that another wire
Was trembling through the night watch
higher,
Some message sweet for him had come
That told of light and love and home
II cannot stay" the parting word.
Some far-off call within him stirred.

the board, and it is quite likely that
something may be done according to the
idea. The description accompanying the

a clear idea of the scheme.
The plan is simple, and consists of
an iron structure suspended from piers,

PHASES OF LIFE.

Why does every man. rich or poor,
hiserlv or generous. without regard TO
race. religion or previous condition of
servitude, consider that he has perfect
right to steal matches? These indis-
pensable adjuncts of every establish
ment freQuented by the public are small
in themselves and comparatively cheap,
but taken in the aggregate they form
Mute an item in the expense account of
a year. A man will ONTO cigar store,
buy a fiYe-cent cigar. on which the re-
tailer'S profit is IL cents. and walk OFF
with two cents worth OF matches; an
other will purchase a ham sandwich
and take pocket full of lucifers; still
another will buy postage stamp. and,
like all the rest, help himself from the
contents of the match safe If it be with
in reach. And 50 it goes all day long.
Standing in popular downtown res
taurant the other evening GLOBE man
saw the match safe filed and emptied
four times within twenty minutes. and
this was no unusual case. but just a fair
sample. Is not this stealing just as
much as it would be did the pilferer
walk behind the desk and take dollar
from the till?
For naming boarding houses Mime
apOlis lays over the earth. EnterpriS-
ing hOusekeeperS. who desire to feed
the vast multitude of homeless Great
ures who flock hither from the over
crowded marts Of the East. exhibit COM
mendable taste in the selections of
names for their establishments. Classic
titles, which would adorn ariStoeratic
dwellings on Madison square, in New
York city, flourish here in astonishing
prOfusiOn. The name is not always ap-
prOpriate. but that makes no difference.
There is one boarding house in particu-
lar on South Fourth street that rejOices
in the euphOniOus title of Grove cot
tage, but where the grove comes in is
something of puzzle to the average
mind. To be sure, there is a lone pine
tree mot Bill Erwin in the front of the
house. which, by the way, bears little
resemblance to cottage, but that is all
there is of the forest. However. this
disregard for truth and fidelity is but
one of the many peculiarities of Min
neapolltans in business way.
No one would suspect from his eX-

fore the Grand Jury Yesterday.
Six days have passed, and still the
grand jury is III session. 1t was ex-
pected that the jury would have adj
journed yesterday. but to-day is now set
as the time of its final dissolution. Yes
terday morning visit was made TO the
poor farm, but the result of the inveSti-
cation has not yet been divulged. An
impression has gained Il foOthOld at the
court house that the jurors are not just
satisfied with the poor farm and the way
IN which it is conducted. and 1t is ex-
pected that something will be heard to
drop when the committee appointed
makes its report. After their return
from the poor farm the jurors visited
the county Jail, and apparently found
everything in a satisfactory condition.
The case of OStrom, charged with en-
beZzlement, was the only one consid-
cred when they met in the forenoon.
Ii. l.. HauSer, business manager of the
Pioneer Press in Minneapolis, was the
chief witness. Ostrom will probably be
arraigned to-day.

PERTINENT COMMENT.

When a newspaper gets left on an
item of news, il is pretty certain TO set
ND woeful wall about sensation mon
gers. The sheet which has its editorial
rooms across the way now hOwls be-
cause the GLOBE published an exclusive
story regarding the rumOr that Ostrom
had fired the Tribune building. As
stated i'm the GLOBE, the rumor con-
corning it was well affirmed. In fact,
it came from the police. Ostrom was
given the first opportunity through the
GLOBE to deny il. These hOwlerS prob
ably did not have their ears open, else
they would have heard the rumor. III
they did hear it, it would have been far
more becoming to have gwen the young
man an opportunity TO deny ii, than TO
now do the crY-baby act.
Is there any ordinance governing the
height at which store awnings should be
placed above the walks? If there is,
the official who has the enforcement OF
that regulation in charge can find a

A Fair Equestrienne:l

The practice Of ladies' riding on horseback
Is rapidly extending in this country. and in
any of our large public parks and bridle-
paths ten ladies can be seen now where there
were but one or two few years ago, Horse
back riding is certainly splendid exercise
for women. and with her peculiar nervous
organization and usually sedentary habits
the American woman is much in need of ex-
ercise IN the open air.
Those who arc too weak and exhausted to
ride now can do so in q few months time by
toning up and rejuvenating their nervous
systems. equalizing the circulation in their
extremities. and building up their muscular
tissues by the use of Rogers Royal Nervine,
the most subtle and magical nerve tonic
known. The results attending its use are
marvellous, as witness the following from the
celebrated actress, Helen Dauvray:
II have used Rogers Royal Nervine Tonic
and find 1t an excellent tonic FOR exhausted
nerves, sleeplessness and that utter fatigue
which comes from oYertaxation OF the
brain" HRLEN DAUyRAY.

Blaisdell's petition for leave to change

was whether the change should be made
in the whole eighteen cases or in

the application was made. These
will be considered later. There was
some dispute. too, over the surrender
of Blaisdell's papers, which Davis now
holds. Davis refusal to give up these
papers until his bill was paid was
what brought the matter into court

Ira &. G. Rinehart, a

il will work.
Its construction is
quite simple, and a
far idea of it may
be had from the fol-
lowing descriptions:
A wheel ten inches
in diameter is the
foundation. To this
wheel bearings eX-
tend upward five
and one-half inches,
upon which a plate
similar to that of
an ordinary skate is
attached, and upon
which the foot rests.
On the hub or axle
of this wheel is a
sprOcket wheel two
inches in diameter.
Over this runs a link
belt to the hip joint,
where a belt around
the waist is made
fast to q hollow tube
three-fourths of an

St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1889-12-10


and through which the link belt passes,
over pulley and onward to another
sprOcket wheel which is attached TO a
crank shaft that is made in connection
with the belt and worn so as to be
turned in front of the body by the
hands. As the crank is revOlved it
transmits the motion through this link
belt to the wheel OIL the ground.
So it may easily be seen that while
the foot is passing from the rear and
being planted upon the ground in front
of the one the weight of the body is
resting upon, the wheel ring revOlved by
the crank shaft, has rolled along sixty
inches two revOlutionS). This vehicle
moves both feet forward at the same
time, while the ordinary pedestrian can
move Onlj one at time. the other re-
naming stationary to support the body.
One wheel is worn under each foot,
and the belt to which the crank is at
tached is buckled around the waist. 1t
is light, convenient, and can be used by
ladies, there being no machinery 10 in
terfere with their dress skirts. The link
belt is on the outside of the wheel, and
is protected from sOiling the clothing by
passing through p.De which, being
jOinted at the knee and hip, allows the
wearer to step over rocks. climb stairs

vehicle in any manner. A buckle at
the toe and on the belt round the waist,
and the motor is on ready for use, or
off and out of the way. All complete it
weighs three to four pounds. For eX-
erciSe, it is claimed this machine can
have no superior, as every muscle in
the body is brought into action.
