that roast duck was dainty dish, and ac-

ry the sportsmen but also a reasonable num-
Der of ducks. Everything being found in
good order the trip to the dam was made in
good time. After the horse and buggy
was barricaded in safe place, shooting
commenced in great style. Bang! Bang.

shots were fired, with a total amount killed

DIED-At De Soto, Mo-, on Sunday, April
9TH, 1889, ARTHUR Z. PERRY, infant son of
Edgar and Leona Perry, of congestion of
the brain, aged IL months and % days.
Little Arthur was one of the twins whose
birth we noted at the time of its occurrence,
and it is with sincere sympathy we now are
called upon to record his passing to the
other shore. To the afflicted parents we
tender such words of coincidence as friend
may give to friend. But the hurt is in the
heart, and only time with healing balm can
assuage its pain or close the wound. The
scar lasts with life.
Our baby's gone! but, o, tits sweet to know
The angels bore him to that land
Where Jesus radiant love doth ever glow!
He holds him in His tender hand,
A hostage sweet, secure from every i'll,
That we who weary earthward linger still,
May upward turn our weeping eyes
To Arthur's home beyond the skies!

WILL JOIN THE NAVY.
Marvin Carver. of Tracy, Wins
Cadetship.

Cadetship.
special to the Globe.
MANKATO, MIMI, May 1.-THE ex-
animation of candidates for appoint
ment to the naval cadetship from the
Second Congressional district was COM
pleted this forenoon, and the success
full candidate is Marvin Carver, of
Tracy. The examination was not very
severe, but thoroughly tested the
knowledge of the young men on the
subjects selected. Archie True, of
Fairmont, led Mr.. Carver strong race
and came out good second. receiving
the appointment as alternative. The
other candidate was Mr.. Norwood, of
animation. Mr.. Carver, the successful
aspirant, was born in Wisconsin, and
has resided at Tracy for the past six
years, attending school most of the time
and clerking in a store for part of the
time. He attended the new high school
there this year and would have gradu-
next spring. He is bright, pleasing
appearing young man, and is said to be
a good scholar. There is but one fear
as to Mr.. Carver'S success at the eXami
nations which he must submit to at the
naval academy before being admitted.
The fore-fnger of his right hand has
been injured by machinery, cutting the
tip of his fngor Off, and the greater
part of his nail. This may be looked
upon by the critical navy surgeons as
justifying his rejection. In that case
his alternative, MI. True, will be ac-
cepted. The latter has attended the
normal for several years and is fully
qualified to enter the academy. Mr..
Carver is ordered to report at Annapo-
lis May Is and will start Monday. He
left for home this afternoon.

Girl in Arkansas.

LITTLE Rock, Ark, May 11.-Great
excitement prevails among the farmers
in the vicinity of Craig's Mill, eighteen
miles north of Little Rock, over most
revolving crime, which was committed
yesterday afternoon. The details of
the crime, as given by Glen Watkins,
prominent farmer of that section. are:
Yesterday afternoon an unknown
tramp came to the farmhouse of a Mr..
Palmer, living near Craig's Mill, and
asked for something to eat. Palmer, his
wife and others of the household, were
in the field at work. and Miss Palmer,
young girl of seventeen years,
remained at home to take care Of the
house. The tramp began an assault
upon the defenseless young lady, fore
ing her to the floor. She screamed for
help, but was unheard by her family,
who were too far from the house. At
dinner time, when the family returned,
they found the daughter lying on the
floor in an almost unconscious condi-
ton. She told the story of the crime.
and Immediately a posse. headed by
Glenn Watkins, brother-in-law of the
lady. started in pursuit of the tramp,
but were unable to overtake him. he
having reached the mountains. Miss
Palmer's condition is serious, and it is
feared she will not recover.

CHICAGO, May 11.-Chief Detective
Horace Elliott says he has located the
men King and Fairburn, whewent with
Woodruff in the wagon which carried
the WOman'S remains to Lincoln Park,
and that he can put his hands
on them whenever he wants them.
One of the wagons and white
horse used at the city morgue were sur

Saturday morning about the time of
Dr.. Cronin'S disappearance, and were
mysteriously returned Sunday morning
after being out all night. The wagon
and horse answer the description of one
of the rigs noticed in Lake View.
Cronin's friends tonight evolved a
complicated theory that this showed the
doctor had been buried in the Potters
field at Dunning. Other people think
if the morgue wagon had any connec-
ton with the Cronin mystery, other in
ferences much more probable could be
drawn. DR.. Cronin was at one time

They carried their lamps as usual, and
had hardly gotten well into the mineI

SHE is SPEEDY.
Another Test Of the New Cruiser
Charleston.

Another Test Of the New Cruiser
Charleston.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, May H.
The United States cruiser Charleston
was prevented by fog yesterday from
attempting the four-hour run pre-
scribed by the government, but
she put to sea during the
afternoon and attained an estimated
speed of seventeen knots, with her pro-
pellerS making 101 revolutions to the
minute. 1t has been determined to run
over course of about eighty miles,
extending from Point Conception south
to point below Venturay, in order to
accurately determine the distance COW
cred, apart from the records made by
the log on the ship. The members Of
the naval board watched the con-
duct of the cruiser from the
bridges and from the free board fore
and aft. while others noted the record
by log indication. When the announce
ment was made that the ship was NOV
ing at the rate of seventeen knots per
hour, it was regarded as improbable. as
it exceeded the highest hopes enter
tanned for the cruiser. and, provided she
WOulu maintain Tie same comparative
rate under forced draught. and her full
ly developed horse power, it promised
to place her among the speediest of her
class in any navy, No official test could
be made of the speed, and it will
not go on the records, but was
accepted as an approximate test
of the speed of the Charleston with one
hundred revolutions of her engine and
the estimated development of 5000
horsepower during the highest develop
ment shown OF the cruisers speed. She
cut her way through the water in
thoroughly clean manner, and gave evil
dence that her lines are perfectly apt
for the speed it is now felt certain she
will attain during the trial. Both en-
gines worked smoothly and gave as
surance that under high pressure to be
developed by the forced draught, they
will be in condition for the final test.

PULLED THE POISON.
A Large Amount of Opium Confis-

"A Large amount OF opium COnHS-
Gated at San Francisco.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 1.-One of the
largest seizures of opium made at this
port, took place after the arrival of the
Pacific mail steamer City of New York,
yesterday afternoon. Deputy Surveyor
Fogarty and an inspector seized five
large trunks which were filled with
opium and labelled, ''Ah King, Pana-
ma" Previous to making this seizure,
Fogarty had found small package on
the steerage deck, containing about fif-
teen pounds of prepared opium of good
brand. His suspicious were excited and he
made further inspection of the Chinese
passengers and baggage. He found
what he believed to be all unusually
large amount of baggage for so few
passengers. and he accordingly directed
each Chinaman to select his personal
belongings. When this had been done,
these five trunks remained, which no
one appeared to claim. All Kings
name could not be found on the passen-
ger list, and the trunks were accord
ingly taken ashore. They were found
to contain nearly two hundred pounds
of opium each, making about 1000
pounds of the drug, which, with its
duty, would bring the value up to
$4,000.

GOES UP FOR LIFE
For Numbering His Mother in a
Most Brutal Manner.

JACKSON, Mich, May 1.-R. Irving
Latimer was this morning sentenced
to states prison for life for the murder
of his mother Oh Jan. Is last. Latimer
showed the same nonchalance upon
sentence being pronounced as he has
throughout the trial. Mrs. Latimer was
found on the morning of Jan. 25 lying
dead on the floor of her bed room with
two bullet holes in her head. The body
was covered with blood, as was also the
bed, floor and window sill. The crime has
never been paralleled i'll brutality in
this state except by the Crouch muir
ders. Suspicion at once rested upon
the murdered woman's son, who went
to Detroit the evening previous to the
murder. He was identified by train
men, who swore he left Detroit the
night of the murder, returning there
early next morning. He denied this,
swearing he stayed the night III. Detroit.
He was arrested on his return here the
next morning, and the evidence against
him at the trial was so conclusive that
the jury found verdict of murder in
the first degree.
