TO OWNERS OF REAL ESTATE.

We, the undersigned, doing legitimate
business as real estate brokers with estab-
lished offices in the city, would caution
owners of property, and especially those
having good business property for sale,
against bonding the same to irresponsible
parties who under pretense OF being able to
effect sale, upon the payment of few
dollars, get control of property with the
expectation of compelling buyers to pey
them a handsome bonus, and, as these
sharks do not hesitate to ask a big advance,
persons who would invest and help build
up our city are driven away, and sales pre-
vented. These curbstone brokers, whose
offices are nowhere and capital nothing.
never spend cent for advancing the coun-
try but the moment real estate becomes
active, swoop down vulture-like, seeking
whom they may devour; no less than two
important sales have been prevented i'll this
manner the past week.
The legitimate real estate brokers OF this
city, in common with all our business men,
are interested i'll the growth and prosperity
of our city, and are working in harmony
and expending much money and time to
bring desirable class of investors to this
section. There is no doubt there will be a
great demand for property i'll this section
and those wishing to sell would save their
own interests by placing the same at reason.
able prices, and paying legitimate dealers
the usual commission of 5 per cent, thereby
insuring prompt and satisfactory results,
rather than, for few dollars, putting valu-
able property in the hands of sharks who,
in an attempt to get the WHOLE hog, drive
capital from us.

that the Oregon Pacific railroad

as to what could be done. They
were shown over the city, and
taken through the public buildings,
and expressed themselves as agree
ably surprised. Corvallis new

enough. About 1870 p. m. the
committee were taken to Albany

are home again by this time.

Noticing, as pass along by the
several business houses, that evidences
of the approaching holidays are be-
ginning to display themselves, calls to
my mind an occurrence which hap
pened on Christmas Of last year, and

fore that happy day arrived, Captain

Concerning the late elections in some
of the old and new states during the
past few weeks I notice that there is
considerable difference in people. For
instance: the Ohio people have shown
that they did not want Foraker by
running Campb)eIl against him;
those of Montana chose Il Tool-e for
their ruler. and "Wash" has to depend
on Ferry for the next four years.

now famous elopement scrape with DR..
Sellow is not of their familys but their
cablegrams of inquiry remain un-
answered, while the news con-
tinues to come to Eastern papers.
A New York Herald cable from
Nice says the family has registered
from Minneapolis. and this, with the
mention of Carlos Wilcox, seems to
have little doubt of the identity of the
youEg lady. The couple is still in
Paris, as the lady refuses to be escorted
by gems d'arnes and her mother has
written to Minister McLane to find a
lady to act as convoy to her. Under the
French law the doctor cannot be prose-
cuted, as the girl is over sixteen and
her own mistress. The European cor
respondents seem to have no doubt of
the truth of the story as printed.

THE WAY CLEAR.
Minnehaha Park May Yet Be
Saved to the People.

Minnehaha Park May Yet Be
Saved to the People.
At an adjourned meeting of the park
commission held in the Office of the
secretary yesterday afternoon the mat
ter of the purchase of the state. lands at
Minnehaha for q city park was dis
cussed to a considerable extent. The
plot of land, some 100 acres in extent,
was condemned for state park some
four years ago, but, owing to an alleged
irfegularity in the condemnation pro-
ceedingS, the matter has been in the
courts from that time until about one
year ago, when the supreme court
held that the proceedings were legal.
There is now bill in the legis-
lature to abandon all proceed
ings in this connection, and the
idea OF the park board of Minneapolis is
to take the thing up where the state
leaves off, if the bill passes. Nearly all
ing Commissioners Babb, BOardman,
Prof. Cleveland, George A. Bracket,
DR.. Evans and others, favored the
scheme, and the only objection to it was
the lack of funds. If the half-mill lax
is collected, as suggested, the board will
have $4,000 this year. while if they vote
to make it mill, as they may do if they
see fit, the income would allow the pur-
chase of the land.
Park Attorney lockwood has pre-
pared two bills to be presented to the
legislature, providing for the safe of the
state park and its purchase by the park
board of Minneapolis. A committee
was finally appointed to investigate the
matter, and report to the board at its
meeting next Saturday. The commit
tee consists of Commissioners Babb,
Downs. Folweli, Cole and Boardman.

THE HOLMES CAFE.
A New Feature in an Uptown Ho-
tel for Fashionable Folk,

Yesterday GLOBE scribe's optics
were emp. Dyed for half an hour in
speeding the apartments of the new
Holmes hotel cafe, which was opened
Monday, and it was time pleasantly
spent. The harmonious coloring of the
decorations in subdued tints is perhaps
the most noticeable feature at first
glance, but new beauties are seen at
every step, showing rare taste in the
artist. The simple elegance that char
acteriZes the two entire apartments in
every detail is certainly a credit to the
designers and furniSherS. The silver
ware, magnificent set Of the richest
description, and seemingly endless in
quantity, is the special pride of the
managers, and very dazzling to pie
beian eyes. s.
''But here is the most important
part" said Mr.. Darling, as he picked up
a delicately-tinted bill O fare from one
of the snowy white tables; lust run
your eye along thrt list of steaks and

room of the hotel proper, and out into

gentleman in white is absolute monarch.
Everything appeared to be in the most
perfect condition possible. Order was
there, and chaos was nowhere.
Meeting MIR. Holmes a little later, the
reporter inquired as to the run of bus
mess in the hotel. and was told by that
pleasant gentleman that the house was
enjoying large and steadily increasing
patronage from the best class of people;

He wanted no one to think that
he had made pledges which he
was unwilling to perform. He said it
was sacrifice for him to 90 to the leg
stature, but he had gone to do what he
could to elect Minneapolis man to the
United States senate. Now that that
had been done he would like to return
home again, He had made one prom
ise, and the mali OF newspaper which
stated that he had made any more SIM
ply lied. The only promise he had
made was in writing. and he proceeded
to read it. In it he said he
would do all he could to Sc
cure local measures for the best
interests of Minneapolis and Hennepin
county. In closing Mr.. Hay said he
was going to use his own Judgment rs
long as he was in the legislature, and ne
did not propose to be called a thief, and
he there and then branded any man who
made such statement as liar. Mr..
Hay said he wanted to see a committee
appointed to meet the delegation and
talk over the various matters which had
been discussed. 49,,
Representative Underwood dared any
man in the hall to step forward and say
he had ever made any anti-electiOn
promises. Judge Atwater was on his
feet in an instant, white with rage. He
made wild kick on the members OF
the delegation asking such pointed QueS-
tions.
ROW OF HUGE DIMENSIONS
ensued, and motions to adjourn were
put in rapid succession. Order was
finally restored, and ex-Gov. Pillsbury
secured the attention of the audience
and made a plea for the delegation,
which, he thought, was doing all right.
He wanted a conference with the dele
cation, OF else wanted everything left
in the hands of the delegation.
The resolution to place the Office on
the salary list was put, but before any
vote was taken. the chairman said it
was carried. A yell arose which nearly
knocked the roof off.
E. w. Huffcut said it was a shame
and disgrace to bring in the delega-
ton like lot of school boys, and as far
as he was concerned he thought an APP
Ology was due the members. He roasted
the board of trade as body which
could advise but not dictate. He lauded
the Hennepin county delegation at some
length, and closed by saying that the
members had been lied about until he
was sick of it.
Frank Mead followed with word of
praise for the delegation, and wanted
the resolution of confidence in the dele
CATION adopted. The motion was adopted
with rush.
A motion to adjourn was stopped by
Representative Hay, who said he hoped
that before the meeting adjourned a
committee would be appointed to con-
fer with the delegation in regard to GER
tain matters. The motion to appoint
such committee carried, and the fol-
lowing gentlemen were named: J. T.
Wyman, George A. Bracket, ex-Gov.
pf1lsbury, Emerson Cole, A. ). 5o.ethen-
G. underwater, Ii. w. Hoffcut, A. G.
Haugen. A motion was made to have
J. B. Bassett and Judge Atwater put on
the committee, but as single man the
entire audience arose and yelled mo-"
until the chairman put his hands over
his ears and gasped for breath. By this
time nearly everyone was leaving the
hall, and motion to adjourn was an
swered in the affirmative by half dozen
or so.

An Unpleasant Duty.

While it is far from pleasant for a
physician who happens to be member
of the board of health to prosecute a
brother physician for violation of the
laws governing the board, it has come
to that point where forbearance has
ceased to be virtue, and it has
become necessary to make an
example of some one. For a
long time great city's health has been
jeopardlzed by too free an exercise of
what is termed professional courtesy,
that elastic term has been made to
cover what actually was criminal
leniency on the part of the board. Such
a feeling should not be allowed to inter
fere with the strict enforcement of the
very letter of the health laws. which at
the best are none too stringent and are
made for the safety of all. Yester-
days case in the municipal court
should not be looked upon as perse-
cution of the physician who was fined
for infringement of the law, but as the
calling of a halt on custom of over
looking such offenses, which was be-
coming a serious menace to the city's
health, and threatened to destroy the
efficacy of the health department,
