There was no mistaking the senti-

talked five minutes at the meeting in

ent were unanimous in the belief
that for the first time in four
years the Ice King would have
to abdicate i'll favor of monarch

carnival, and it was decided to continue
the agreements. But instead of the
picture of an ice palace and
programme of winter sports the
space negotiated for will contain the an
nouncement of postponement of the
carnival until 1890 and statement of
the temperature at st. Paul during De-
cember, 1888, and a portion OF January,
1889. 1t will be shown that during last
month the average range of the mer
curry was AZ deg. above zero, and this it
was claimed will be better advertise
ment for the city than dozen ice
palaces. Before adjourning the direct
ors adopted the following preamble and
resolution:
Whereas, The st. Paul lee Palace and Car
n1val association have to the present date
made every possible preparation for the con-
duet of the fourth annual carnival between
the dates Jan. 23 and Feb. l, 1889: and,
Whereas, Since the opening of the So
called winter months and up to the presenr
dale the weather has been so mild that there
has been neither snow nor ice sufficient for
the successful conduct of these winter fes-
tivities; and.
Whereas, The Ice Palace and Carnival as
sociation. under these circumstances, find it
impossible to further proceed in their labors.
Resolved, That it is with sincere regret
this association announces that the fourth
annual ice palace and carnival of the city of
St. Paul is hereby otncially postponed until

MARITAL MISERIES.
Two Divorce Suits Settled by
Judge Kelly.

Judge Kelly filed decision yesterday
denying the motion of plaintiff for a
new trial in the case of August Simin
against Rose Simin. for divorce on the
ground of desertion. The plaintiff for
divorce on the above grounds was met
by the answer of his wife. which
alleged that, among many other things
that plaintiff had been guilty of, was
forcing her to sign deed for property
they owned as husband and wife. Fail
ing to gain her signature by intimida-
ton, he promised her 500 if she
deed which afterward proved to
be sham sale to friend who was in
colIusion with plaintiff. and who agreed
to deed it back to him if he once got his
wife's jnte; est out of the way. He
rendered her the money, which she
took, and signed the deed. He grabbed
the money from her hand and left her
to wonder what mean trick he would
next employ. She also charged him
with kicking her out of the hou e and
continually maltreating and abusing
her. At one time, about two weeks
after the birth of her second child, he
forced her to leave the house on one of
the coldest nights in the winter and
made her walk to West St. Paul. carry
ing the child in her arms. On this oc-
easlon, she says. she suffered great
pain and the child was nearly frozen.
Her answer to his complaint, which she
alleges was only to get her out of the.
way, since he had cheated her out of
the property, continues to cite MANY
instances of varied abuse and mis-,
conduct. Judge Kelly, after consider
alton, found that Mr.. Simon had no case,
and ordered Judgment for the de-
fendant.
In the divorce suit of Josephine Hub
bard against Clark Hubbard, Judge
Kelly decided that the plaintiff Is en-
titled to the custody of her two children,
aged thirteen and seventeen years. and
ordered that defendant be restrained
from dispuSing or incumbering certain
property which he owns in Dodge Cen
ter. He decreed that plaintiff should
enjoy the profits and possession of the
said property as allmOny. and command
ed the defendant to leave her in peace.
She can sell such property as is in + her
own name and recover S25 as attorneys
fees from the defendant. j alignment for
divorce was granted on the grounds of
cruel and inhuman treatment and habit
ual drunkenness. Defendant tor long
time failed to support his family, aud
was in the habit of coming home late at
night in an intoxicated state, arousing
the members of the family and abusing
them in divers ways.

A Young Husband Missing-The
Immortality Of the Soul.

Special to the Globe.
WINONA, Jan. n.-There is mourning
in the house of Well-knOwn citizen.
Some time ago his daughter, pretty
and attractive young girl. was away
visiting and met a young man from
another city. The two were thrown to-
gether constantly and the young
fellow won the girls heart. He
proposed marriage and she con-
sented. Her parents naturally OBJ
jected very strongly to her marriage
but finally yielded to her entreatieS.
The day was set,the trousseau prepared
and all arrangements completed. but
the bridegroom failed to appear and in
a letter asked to have it postponed.
Nothing was heard from him for many
days, until finally. after several letters
from the young lady, the tardy bride
groom named day and asked the bride
to procure the certificate. This she did,
he showed up and the marriage oc-
arrived he said he had to take an early
train and left with his bride. Instead
of taking train he took her to a hotel
where they spent the night, and in the
morning told her to go home and wait
until he wrote, as he was out of work
and must look for job. She did so and
has not heard word from him since.
Two prominent clergymen had little
dispute the other day over the question
of the Immortality of the SOUL The
result was challenge to public debate
and its prompt acceptance. The two
are Rev. Augustus Busch. pastor of the
German Presbyterian church. and Elder
Schultz, pastor of the Seventh Day Ad-

FARMERS FINISHED.
New Officers of the Alliance for.
the Ensuing Year.

the Ensuing Year.
The Farmers alliance concluded its
Sc ssion yesterday, ana as a result Of its
deliberations Ignatius Donnelly is in
doubt whether his senatorial aspirations
have been bettered or cruelty nipped in
the bud. The alliance placed itself on
record as indorsiHg the resolution re-
commencing the sage for the senator
ship, but the two members OF the legls-
latUre, MeSsrs. HiXon and Nachbar, who
belong to the alliance, refrained from
voting.
The foes of Donnelly claim that
Messrs. Gibbs, Sprague and Gilman
have been indefatigable in their efforts
for the former politician. and cite the
fact that Messrs. Gibbs and Bodkin,
though very recent members Of the al
lance, are pronounced Donnelly' men.
and are eager champions of his cause.
These gentlemen go farther, and say
that the Sage, or his lieutenants, offered
to remit the major portion OF the dues
of the dead alliances in the southern
part Of the state, and to pay the Incl
dental travelling expenses OF prom
inent alliance man IN the Fifth district,
to and from the annual meeting. with
the taeit understanding that he would
support MI. Donnelly.
The resolutions as formulated Thurs
day were passed during the morning
session with the exception of the clause
relating to the control of the elevators
by the public examiner. During the
afternoon session the following officers
were elected for the ensuing year:
President, S. W. Sprague: vice presi-
dent. H. E. Boren; vice president First

The curious and too susceptible nat
ure of Mary Touebohn, who staked

ton shown to her by trance medium,

pears as the complaining witness in
case in which she alleges that Nine.
Eleanor A. Barstow, the astroIogist and
hand-reader, defrauded her of $40 by
false representations. From her COM
plant it appears that Nine. Barstow
represented to her that she possessed
the power OF returning lostproperty. and
could give certain charm in the form
of a liquid, which would drive away all
sorrow and care, give good luck and
prevent loss or trouble coming to any
person who possessed it. Mrs. Toue
bohn. who has. engaged largely in the
sorrow and trouble business, invested
in $50 worth of the charmed liquid. and
resolved to reign in bliss during the rest

Sharp practice is alleged in COM
plant filed yesterday by j. d. and
Hannah Stetson against Richard Dem
ing and Samuel G. Horton, doing bnsi-
ness as the st. Paul Loan company.
According to the complaint of the plaint-
ifs. Dec. 90, 1887, they went to de-
fendaut and requested loan of 500.
Defendant, after considering the Sc
curity offered, made the loan, charging
S. cents interest per month on the
money and IS commission for Sc
curing the loan. which they said was
being made for other persons. A con-
tract and chattel mortgage were drawn
up with note for S94. Is, payable thirty
days after date. The day of maturity
plaintiffs were unable to pay the note.
and were allowed to renew it by paying
another s5.S5. Three times the note
had to be renewed, and as often did
plaintiffs pay S5.S5 for the thirty days
use of the money. Defendant then
offered to accept twelve installment
notes of $12 each and satisfy and cancel
the old note of S94.1 Is. These notes
were drawn up and handed to defend
ants and a return of the old note
demanded. Defendants refused to
give back the said note, and
commenced foreclosure proceedings
upon the chattel mortgage, which
covered all the furniture the un
fortunate pair of plaintiffs had, and
their household wares were taken from
them, which were reasonably worth
$50. Defendant retained possession of
the notes, and refused to satisfy the
mortgage of record. Plaintiffs ask that
s3S interest be returned to them, and
that defendants be made to pay $3.50 for
the goods seized; that the mortgage be
Cancelled, and that the whole deal be
annulIed and declared usurious on the
part of defendant, and such damage and
other relief as the court will grant.

the French government had no inten-

or take control of the canal; also a let
ter of the United States minister to the

French consul there had been advised

No dividend has been declared since May

who have received dividends can get no more
money. unless congress makes appropriation
to pay them otherwise than from the assets.

an appropriation to pay the balances. due to
freedmen and their descendants, and II this
should become law public notice of it will
