The Experience Of Faith Cure
People With a Dead Child.

Special to the Globe.
+ PIERRE, Dak., Jan. 31.-W. G. Nixon,
the father of the child that died last
week under the medical care of the
"faith cure" people, arrived home from
an Eastern visit, and the funeral, which
had been deferred, was conducted
to-day. AT a second meeting held by
leading citizens upon discovery of the
facts as reported Saturday night, it was
decided to take no violent measures to
compel the twain, M. A. Elliott and
Mrs. M. E. Campbell, to leave town un-
til after Mr.. Nixon's return and the
burial of the babe, but it was the inn
preston of the meeting that Christian
science could not flourish in Pierre
hereafter. A committee visited the two
apostles and stated the case to them,
upon which Elliott said he was ready to
go any time. and has gone, but the
woman, Mrs. Campbell, is still here, and
she says they may persecute her poor
body, but her spirit will never know it,
and she will stay even if the people do
their worst. She says that they raised
the infant from the dead seven times In
two days, but allege various reasons
why it didn't stay raised. The couple
have been instructlng class of six or
eight persons, and several others were
ready to begin taking lessons. For
these and other seemingly good reasons
the citizens took the prompt action they
did, Mr.. Nixon is firm believer in the
new science. Friends of Mrs. Nixon
claim that her mind has become de-
ranged over the subject and another
meeting has been called to further con-
slider the question of putting stop to
such business.

was asked if he had been invited
to the Indiana state capital for a

but he interrupted the question by say
ing it was not fair to catechize him too
closely. Referring to the cabinet, Sen-
ator Sabin said: 'Mr. Blaine's friends
will never consent to his accepting any
thing. but first place, which for many
reasons must necessarily be offered
him. I think it will be, and I
think he will accept. l do not
think Senator Allison can be induced to
accept portfolio position" MIR. Sabin
gave no reason for his decided opinion
regarding Allison other than the opin-
ion that the Iowan has many things to
sacrifice by such move. Mr.. Sabin
spoke warmly of Warner Miller's merits,

SALARIES sLAsHED.

Under the New Law Assistant
Postmasters in the Twin Cities
Will BE Big Losers.
Special to the Globe.
WAsH1NGToN, d. c., Jan. 31.-In the
committee on postoffices and post roads
to-day Mr.. Lind made strong fight
for new classification of salaries of
clerks IN first and second-class post
Offices. He tried to impress upon the
committee the fact that no matter what
may be the income of postoffices in cities
the employees of small offices have to
work as hard and as many hours, and
are entitled to as much pay as en-
ployes doing similar work in large
offices in Eastern cities. The bill as it
will be reported from the committee
gives to assistant postmasters salaries
equal to so per centof the salaries paid
the postmasters, but salaries shall
range from $500 to $500 per annum.
In the third-class offices the salaries
shall range from 500 to S1,50O in the
discretion of the postmaster general.
The assistant postmasters at st. Paul
and Minneapolis now receive $2,40O
each. but under the new law they will
get only 81, $50 each. 60.

DAIRY SCANDALS.
How Republican Politicians Use
Public Offices.

The reappointment of Warren P. Ives
as dairy commissioner by Gov. Mer-
riam closes as nasty a political fight as
Republicans usually plunge state
offices into. When Ives announced
himself as a candidate for reappoint-
ment last November, II. G. Howard, ex-
dairy commissioner, became candidate
also, and so did Frank Clifford, of Mer-
riam Park. These last two started out
with the avoWed determination
of cleaning out Ives or split
ting the party. They STACKED
him in the state dairy association and
the farmers institutes in public and in
private. When the three happened to
be in the Merchants corridors any day,
the air was redolent with the perfume
of their cheese and ole0margarine
lingo. Howard was the personal choice
of Merriam: Ives was backed by Demo-
Gratis and the old McGill force; and Gif-
ford was in to do anything to pre-
deputy dairy commissioner. The
governor decided to appoint How
ard; Ives at once served notice
of rebellion. Then he decided to give
it to Ives and Howard, who threatened
to destroy Southern Minnesota with
civil war. Finally Ives was told that
he would be reappointed if he would
discharge Carl Judson, his deputy, and
Bert Chapel, the dairy commission de-
tectlve. This he consented to, after
which he was informed that he must
appoint II. c. Howard and Joseph Law
renee recommended by Joel +. Heat
wole) to these vacancies. This he
agreed to. and the happy family was
will side with Howard. Chapel and
Judson get soup, while oleomargarine
rolls into the northern part of the state
at the rate of 1900 ponnds month.
Let us pray and have peace.

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
Its Adjustment to Be Question
BEFORE This LEGISLATURE,

A very important bill will come be-
fore the house next week, being lone
other than measure to abolish capital
punishment. The bill is now in course
of preparation and will be ably pre-
sented. Public sentiment on the sub
iect is of course divided, as it must al
ways be. Only two persons have been
hung under the present iaw-one at
Duluth ana one at Fergus Falls. Two
are now under sentence Of death at
Alexandria, and the Barrett boys, at
Minneapolis, will soon be. There are
two cases in the Little Falls Jail
which will probably receive death SEN
tences. Since the capital punish
ment act went into effect there has
been no perceptible diminution in
crime in the state. This, though, is
ascribed to the fact that population is
on rapid increase, land that III this cor
dition the ratio of crime is difficult
one to decide. The bill appears to
have its origin in purely humane de-
sire to prevent the taking of life by the
aw of man. Some one or two petitions
rave already been received by the
house from citizens of the state, pray
ing for the adjustment of the death

The senate had an executive session
yesterday, and the proceedings will be-
come historical from the fact that the
appointment of Capt. W. P. Dunning-
ton as trustee of the soldiers home was
not confirmed. Capt. Huntington, of
Redwood Falls, received his appoint
ment from Gov. McGill in 1887
when the trustees of the soldiers
home were organized. He was
appointed for term of four years. The
appointments of these trustees were
made after the rising of the legislature
of 1887 who created the soldiers home,
and it was not until Yesterday they came
up for confirmation by the senate. Sen
ator Pope, who is chairman of the sol
diers' home committee, opposed the con-
frmation of Capt. Dunningt0n's ap-
pointment. Senator Ward offered SINH
lar opposition. 1t was stated that if
Capt. DunningtOn'S nomination was
confirmed, other members of the trustee
board would resign. The objection to
Capt. Huntington was not very clearly
stated, beyond that motives of a mer-
cenary description were alleged in his
connection with the soldiers home. SEN
ators Hall and Daniels spoke warmly
in support of no action being taken un-
til an investigation had been made into
the charges made against Capt. Dun
nington's relations with the soldiers
home. Senator Ives was favorable to
this cause, but preponderating senti-
ment was against it, and the coDtirma-
tion of the appointment was refused.
L. E. Hancock, another trustee of the
soldiers home, had his appointment
confirmed, he also being appointed for
four years: and members of the State
Medical board had their appointments
affirmed. State Dairy Commissioner
Ives had his reappointment in
dorsed. 1t is given out on
the side that Senator Wards
opposition is not merely owing to the
alleged "mercenary'' instincts of the
captain. Clarence Ward, Senator
Wards son. has bank at Redwood
Falls, which is in building owned by
Capt. Huntington. When young Mr..
Ward became seriously i'll some time
ago. trouble ensued between him and
Ward, which led to Senator Wards re-
marking last fall that he would fight
his reappointment and defeat it.

There is latent, deep-seated sentiment

The most important bill to be recon-

the approval of the state auditor, is the
following:
The official term of county auditors in this
state shall hereafter be for period of I 'ur
years. and the term of all county al dl ors
elected in November, 1888, is hereby ex-
tended to four years from the first Monday in
January, 1889. The official term OF county
treasurers in this state shall hereafter be for
period of four years, commencing with the
first Monday in January, 1889.
The purpose of this bill is to cause
the terms of auditors and treaSurerS to
alternate, so that at no time will the
records and finances of the counties be
at the mercy of inexperienced officials.
The two offices practically operate as
one, and the Importance of alternating
terms (such as the state formerly had

present favor the bill. g. F. Perkins

pointed committee to frame resolu-
tons and formulate business during the

HOW 1T LooKs TO HOLSTERS.
AiIison's Declaration Will Neces-
site an Entirely New Cabinet

Slate.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 31.-Two
kilograms have been received in this
city since sundown by prominent poll
ticians. One came from Washington,
the other from New York, and both in
dicate that Senator Allison has
finally decided to decline the
pro ffered treasury portfolio.
Whether any information of this char
acter has vet reached Gen. Harrison can
not be ascertained. If these telegrams
are correct in their conjectures. it's coll
ceded here that Allison'S declinatiOn
will neceSsitate an entire remOdeling of
the cabinet slate. In this connection
very prominent gentleman who here last
week left behind him piece of confiden-
tial information that may now prove an
important indication. He said: IL am
reliably told that Vice Presldent-Elect
Morton, some days after his return
from indianapolis. told his intimate
friends that If Allison declined the
treasury it would be offered to ex-
Senator Tom Platt." A prom
inent gentleman, in discussing
this phase of the dilemma tonight, pre-
dicted that the treasury would now be
offered to William Mckinley, of Ohio.
1t has been pretty well authenticated
here that when Mr.. Morton left
indianapolis he carried with him
an offer of the naval portfolio for
Mr.. Piatt, and that Platt declined
it. being unwilling to accept anything
short of the treasury. 1t is thought MIR.
