Supposed Train Robbers.

GAINESVILLE, Tex, Nov. 29.-Nine
men were arrested here yesterday
charged with the Santa Fe train rob-
berry near Berwyn, 1. T., Monday night.
All the parties are gamblers, seven
of whom were arrested il Ard
more and two in Berwyn. The of.
fcers are reticent, but the inference ID
that they have strong case A reward
of 81 600 each is offered for the arrest
and conviction of the robbers. Other
arrests are expected to follow at any
moment. The officers refuse to divul2o
the names of those arrested

Safe Robbed.

FORT WORTH, Tex, Nov. CT is
made public here that last Monday
night some one, having hey to
the door and the combination of the
safe in the Office of the Pacific Express
Company, at the Union Depot, entered
the Office, opened the safe, tooB there
from Sc, 800, and departed without mo-
lestatiOn. The matter is as much of a
mystery as the recent bank burglary
here, when 5000 was taken, and
there is no more clew to this than
the other deed. Only three persons
were supposed to know the cOmbina-
ton of the safe, and they are all
trusted employees of the company.

Jurisdicfion Affirmed.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 3O.-Judge
Brewer yesterday gave in his decision
on the question as to whether the Texas
United States Court had jurisdiction
over NO-Man's-Land. He decides that
the court in Texas has full jurisdiction
in that land and that it has power to
try all murder cases from that section.
The arrest of the Stevens County
murderers was not resisted, the fight
between them and the law being tech
nical case, involving the jurisdiction OF
any court to try them. They will make
this same fight over in Paris, Tex,
which will probably sustain Judge
Brewers decision.

The bass viol is said to be the most
expensive of all musical instruments to
its owner. Its first COSTS not the greatest
expense. 1t is so large and awkward to
carry around that it is continually getting
injured by accidents which would not
happen to smaller instruments. Some
body may kick hole in it by dancing
against it in room, or it may be knock
ed against some thing while carrying it
around. 1t is most frequently injured on
street cars while the musician is carrying
it to the place where he has to play. After
q man has had an instrument for long
time he comes to look upon 1t as actual
" worth all the money that it has cost
him, and in this way bass viol some
times is valued at $1,000 or SO by its
owner. A musician who sued railroad
company for $1,000 for viol lost in an
accident actually got s., 800.

As predicted by the GLOBE some days
ago, the Montana election was so close
that it will require an official count of
the vote to determine the result. The
winning party will probably not have a
margin of over 500 majority on the
state ticket, and with not more than
from three to five in the legislature. 1t
looks now as if the Republicans may
have elected their state ticket by a
scratch, while the Democrats have
possibly captured the legislature, thus
securing the two United States senators.
Both parties made a gallant fight, and
fine generalship has been displayed on
each side. 1t is, perhaps, fortunate for
the new state that there is such an
equal political division, as it is an in
surance of pure administration of the
state government. The Republican ma
jOritieS in the two DakOtaS are entirely
too large for the public good. With
such overwhelming majOritieS factions
are certain to arise, and the temptation
to maladministration is very great.
Our Montana friends will avoid these
dangers as long as political power con-
tinues to be so evenly balanced as it is
at this time,

WE'LL SPOKEN.

Senator VOORHEES,, who is a member
of the senate select committee on the
COLUMBUS centennial, says that every
reason connected with the movement is
so overwhelmingly In favor of the Mis-
sissippi valley as the proper location
he finds it difficult to conceive
of any difference of opinion on
that point. While he refrains from
expressing partially for any
particular city, Mr.. VOORHEES, is
firm in his conviction that it would be
reasonable to Western interests for
any Western member of congress
to vote for a seaboard point
The claims of rival cities can be
settled hereafter, he says, but the
first duty is to determine whether
this memorial exposition shall be held
at one or the other extreme edge of the
country, or in the midst of the
greatest Industrial development ever
known in human history. The
states embraced in the Mississippi
valley send 1S4 representatives to the
lower house of congress. and have
thirty-eight senators,a majority of forty
three IN the two branches of congress !:
and according to Mr.. VOORHEES, opin-
ion, if they are faithful to their constit-
uentS and to the dignity of the section
they represent. the exposition will be
held at some place in the Mississippi
valley. If on the other hand, they be-
tray their section for some seaboard
point, the event will be dwarfed in its
significance. and the American people
will have occasion to lament their mis-
take. MIR. VOORHEES, has spoken well
and timely.

at present Emily Howard, nee Opp
mann, was the daughter of govern
ment agent in Bavaria, and came to this
country some time after 1870, finding
position in one of the government
offices, She was well educated, bril-
liant cOnversatiOnaliSt, and had charm
of manner which made her many warm
friends. Just where she went from
Washington Is not known, but she
turned up later as teacher of German
at the st. Louis public schools. She
moved in the best of society, both Ger
man and English. When tired of school
teaching she studied shorthand and
typewriting, and going to Chicago
early in 1888, obtained valuable
position as Stenographer for Bartlett,
Hubbard, Spencer u Co., the great hard
ware house of that city. The firm had
handsome drummer named Charles r.
Howard, who proposed marriage to En-
lily and was accepted. ''She was so
happy" she wrote her St. Louis friends,
but she was not. Howard was neglect
full. and had mother who incurred En-
ily's lasting dislike. A street meeting,
in which the mOther-in-law smashed
parasol over Emily's head, was only one
incident of many that showed the ma
ture of the feeling between the two.
Howard left his young wife and went
East. She followed MIN and found
him, but there was no permanent recon-
citation. They were miSmated, and
Emily, in the summer of 1885, left Hib-
bard'S and came down to St.Louis. Mrs.
Howard for some time tried to win back
her husband, but she failed, She in
vOked the aid of all the powers that be
in this behalf, some of them of an oc-
cult character, and then she went to
lawyer and got divorce. She did not
ask for the restoration of her maiden
name. She has made several ineffect-
ual efforts to end her existen ce prior to

Gave q Ladies' Social.

The Minneapolis Elks gave ladies'
social. the first ever given in the North
west, at their hall last night. There
were about 100 persons in the hall, al

TIE AUSTRALIANS SYSTEM

They had fair, and, taking every
thing into consideration, most salts
factory experiment with the Australian
system of voting in Montana at last
Tuesdays election. 1t is too soon yet
after the election to give detailed re-
view of the operations of the system;
still we have information enough to
know that it was an eminent success.
The only complaint that we have yet
heard has been made in few instances
by defeated candidates, who, probably
for want of a better explanation of their
defeat, saddled the blame on the new cleo
ton system. The Montana experiment
demonstrates that the Australian SyS-
TEN will secure a peaceable and orderly
election, even in communities where
the toughest elements are congregated
together. A church fair could not have
been conducted with more decorum
than was last Tuesdays election in the
mining camps and in localities where the
voters were principally cowboys and
ranchmen. Another fact that was
demonstrated was the inability of the
heelerS and bruisers to bring their bull
| doing tactics into play at the polls.
Each voter cast his ballot in the utmost
freedom, and without the least oppOr-
tunity to be beset with the temptations
that usually hover around the voting
precincts. The Montana law is faulty,
in that it requires the voter to put a
cross mark opposite the name of each
| candidate voted for, instead of allowing
a person who desires to vote a straight
party ticket to indicate it by putting but
one cross mark on the ticket. Notwith-
standing the delay in making up a
ticket OccasiOned by this fault in the
| law, there were but very few polling
places where all the registered vOt-
erS of the election district did not
have ample time and opportunity
to record their votes. 1t has now been
made clear to the satisfaction of the
! Montana voters that the Australian sys-
| tenn is not the bungleSOme affair its OPP
pOnents had pictured it, but that 1t is
really the only device that has yet been
| originated to assure an absolutely fair
ballot. There is no reason to doubt that
the people of Minnesota will arrive at
the same conclusion after they have had
a similar test of the operations of the
new election system, and that all the
prejudice against the law will rapidly
disappear as soon as the voters have had
a practical demonstration of its bene-
| fits

A GRAND PARK.
G. NJ. Loring's Views Concerning
the Fort Smelling Reservation.


Charles NJ. Loring, president of the
park board, who went to Washington
couple of weeks ago to see if he could
not induce the government to do some
thing toward identifying the Fort
Smelling reservation, has returned. He
says that he talked with several of the
officials of the war department in re-
gard to the matter, and has every rea-
son to think that the necessary money
will be appropriated by congress dur
ing the coming winter, so that work can
be commenced in the spring. He said
that Secretary of War Proctor was very
much in favor of having the reservation
fixed up, and promised to do all he could
to help the matter along.
'Of COURSE" Mr.. Loring said, Il can
not tell now what the government will
do, but with very little expense the
reservation can be made one of the
finest parks in the country. The bank
of the river. from the mouth of Mime
haha creek to the fort is one of the most
beautiful pieces of country in the world.
The bank rises abruptly from the mar
row strip of bottom land run
ming along the edge Of the
water, to the height of seventy
OT tiSHJy lcGG anu dllOluo q uiOoU DCduIl-
full view down the river. Now what
we want to do is to continue the drive
from Minnehaha Park across the creek
at the lower point of the soldiers
home peninsula and OH down the river
to the fort. In that way we secure a
beautiful drive two miles in length,
which the residents of the Twin Cities
can be proud of. Such driveway will
be of just as much advantage to the st.
Paul people as it will he to the
people residing in this city, and they
Should be Just as anxious for this i'm
provement as we are. The commandant
at the fort is very anxious to have these
Improvements made and will do all in
his power to aid us in bringing it about.
Chicago has spent on Lincoln park
alone, which is but little larger than
Minnehaha park. about 100000, which
is more than half the amount spent on
the whole park system of Minneapolis,
and yet with very small part of this
sum with the aid of the government will
make this tract rival Lincoln park"
