WINoNA, Mimi, May 19.-Just before
noon to-day. as Roe Austin was driving
into town from south of Lake Winona,
a peculiar stencil struck his nostrils as
he passed George w. Clark's pasture
near Woodlawn cemetery, about half
mile from the city limits. Looking Tor
the source of the sickening odor, he dis
covered the body of man hanging
from tree in the pasture, short dis
tance from the road. He at once drove
in and notified Coroner Stewart. who
cut the body down. 1t was that of a
man over thirty years of age. He was
well dressed, with red hair and thin,
red mustache. There was nothing in
the pockets or about the clothes to iden-
tify the man. The body was placed in
the morgue for Identification. 1t has
been looked at by many. but nobody
seems to recognize it, and the suicide
or lynching is wrapped in deep mys-
terry. There will be an inquest to-mor-
row, if any information can be found.
Tile mysterious death has created a
great sensation in this city. From the
appearance and odor of the corpse it
must have been hanging for two or three
days.

Special to the Globe.
DEs MONIES, To-, May 19.-The an
nouncement of the disbandment of the
Iowa Travellers Protective association
and of Post A of the state division will
be read with regret by the commercial
travellers of the entire state. The an
nual meeting of the state association
was held in the rooms of Post A in
Davenport last evening. There was a
large attendance. The meeting was
held to review the condition of the assO-
citation, elect officers, select delegates
to the national convention of CONNER
cial travellers at Columbus, o., next
week, if thought advisable, and also de-
eide as to whether or not the association
should disband. The whole matter was
warmly discussed, it being the opinion
of the majority of the members present
that the time for disbanding the state
association had come. The member
ship had dwindled down considerably
and very little interest was being taken
in it by any one. Since the passing of
the interstate commerce law travellers
throughout the state could not work to
the advantage of each other. and send
ing delegates to the national conven-
ton would put the association to great
expense, for which it could not derive
any benefit. A vote OH the question of
disbanding the association was carried
almost unanimously.

IT'S ONE BIG BOTCH.
The Baltimore POstOffice a VERY
Bad Piece of Work,

BALTIMORE, Nd, May 1S.-A local
paper to-day publishes an article di-
rected against the contractors of the
new postOffice building in Baltimore
and the late superintendent, j. Craw-
ford Nelson, who was appointed by
President Cleveland four years ago.
Nelson was removed three weeks ago,
and his predecessor, Jackson Holland,
reinstated. The building was begun
in 1882, and is nearly completed. Hol-
land says the work was not done satis-
fact0rily, but his predecessor accepted
it. Several contractors were paid last
fall; others have not and will
not get any money until they
fill their contracts according to speci-
fications. He says the building
is botch from roof to cellar. Accord
ing to the contract the basement floor
should have been gravel concrete, topped
with two inches of Portland cement.
Instead of this, coal ashes and shavings
were used, covered with an inch Of
Cumberland cement. The area ways
are not graded, and every rain makes
pools of water six inches deep on the
uneven surface. He has condemned the
sewerage also. Terra Gotta pipe has
been used instead of iron. The marble
work done by Davidson & Bro, of Chi
cagO. is characterized as disgraceful.
and for the enormous sum the govern
ment paid for it it has received the
worst work of the kind probably ever
done in the country. The arches over
the doorways are made from odds and
ends and are of every variety of finish.
The work in one room alone will have
to be replaced at cost, perhaps, Of
$4,000. The roof of the building leaks,
and the recent rains flooded the build
ing. The basement windows have mar
ble sills from two to six inches short,
and the steps on the iron staircases are
two inches short.

MILWAUKEE, May 19-The Heyold of
Milwaukee will publish tomorrow the
following interview with President
Harrison in regard to his position
towards the German-Americans:
Washington, May 19.-Your corre-
spondent had an interview with Presi-
dent Harrison yesterday, in the course
of which he informed the president that
the Herold had complained OF the slight
shown the German-American Repub-
president had been led to be-
Iieve that ex-Congressman Guen-
ther was the only prominent Ger
man-American Republican in the
country, and that his appointment to
the office he seeks was all the recOgni-
ton the German-American Republicans
expected of the administration. The
president smilingly stated that he
never had been so informed, and that
he knew better, adding that he was very
friendly towards the German-Amerl-
cans, and desired to do them justice, as
everybody would see. The president
took occasion to remark that he had
herd of some dissatisfaction among the
German-Americans because so few ap-
pointments have so far been made from
llldG ClcIuttlts 11C duSCu tildb OGiIOAS
were also complaining, but that the
public would
FIND NO FAULT
with the administration for its slOwneSs
in making appointments if 1t knew the
difficulties in the way. When a person
was recommended for appointment to
an office, there were usually other per-
sons who would insist that that particu-
lar person should under no circum-
stances, get that Office, or that some
body else should have it. He felt it his
duty to investigate every such case
closely and fairly before taking action
on it. After a while everybody
would see this, and he had no
doubt that the German-Americans
would soon be fully satisfied
for he had desire to slight or wrong
them. I may add that comparisons Of
what President Cleveland did for Ger
man Democrats with what President
Harrison has so far done for German
American Republicans are altogether
unjust, because at this time four years
ago Mr.. Cleveland had appointed very
few German-Americans only; perhaps
not as many as President Harrison has
already appointed. Judge Stallo and
nearly all the German-Americans in the
consular service were appointed later

PLAYED IN THE RAIN.
But St. Paul Got the Larger Score
just the Same.

Buf st. PauI Got the Larger score,
just the Same.
Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE, Wis, May 19.-The
game to-day was the most exciting of
the season, in spite of the rain that
poured down at intervals. It was a tie
at the end of the fifth inning, but after
that St. Paul drew away from the locals
and defeated them, as all the clubs do.
Both pitchers were hit hard, Shenkel
having little the worst of 1t. The st.
Paul men played better in the field, and
used their brains to more advantage than
did the bl0ckheadS who stumble around
the diamond in MilWaukee's interest.
rredway was slightly hurt in the sec
0nd inning and his place was filed by
aBronghtgn. Mains was hit hard during
the first paftsof the game and Carroll
attempted to Substitute SOwders for him
after the fifth inning. The umpire
ruled Sowders out of order. He didn't
pitch. Reilly played a great game
for the visitors, making four
hits and fielding his position
brilliantly. Farmer made some re-
markable throws to second base. but he
could not hold Mains speedy delivery,
and four balls got by him. The honors
for the home team were carried off by
Sutton and Herr. Herr made tremen-
dOuS noise on the cOacherS' lines, and
it took all the st. Paul team and Um-
pire Force to quiet him. Force gave a
number of bad decisions against both
teams. The score:
