Out for Success.
For the next few months, in the hum

little attention was paid to anything.
The business sank into a dark morass,
so deep that it required heroic treat
ment toxesurrect it. Ernest Sturtevant
laid hands to the helm, but in very
haphazard way. The attempt at giving
the news was very Indifferent, and
quite frequently the GLOBE appeared
with the familiar lines just be-
meath the Minneapolis Department"
miscarried last night" etc. Sturtevant
invariably asseverated that the fault
was in st. Paul. and not with him. Dur
ing his career in this nominal position,
he imagined himself an athlete. j. N.

Neutrality-suspicious. 60 as yOu-please
walking match in Market hall. News
paper men only were eligible to enter
the contest. Four prizes were hung
up. The first was a gold watch, and
the second and third were graded so as
to be of relatively less value. Then the
porter who came in last in
the race should be given
bottle of Mrs. Winslow's soothing syrup
as the baby of the profession. By pluck
and endurance Sturtevant managed to
win the latter, which was presented him
with formal pomp. Ed Atterbury won
the first; NJ. Puhler, now of the Ada
Alert, the second, and Mind third prize,
respectively. The gate receipts were to
have been equally divided between the
contestants, but unfortunately for
Sturtevant his share of the proceeds
was parniSheed by his IandladV, whose
bill for board had been long since past
due. Some time after this he married
the divorced wife of Minneapolis news
paper man and took to the stage, filling
dates at variety theaters and dime mu-
seums. doing unparalleled Indian club
feats.
Still the department went on. 1t was
literally ever in transition state, but it
always found candidates ready to put
on the yoke when an incumbent had
been crushed by the revolving wheel Of
fortune. The next aspirant to fame in
this channel was the famous John B.

bank account which astonished his less
successful cOnfreres. And he cut a
swell! He drove handsome span of
PAGERS with the reckless abandon of a
genuine sport, and dressed in the height
of fashion,. His family cut a figure, too,
and was courted by society. But, UNI
happily, his reverses followed shortly.
He had dreamed that he was King
Midas, and that everything he would
touch must turn to gold. Frail delu-
sion! He specialized too largely, and
the reaction buried him in the nOnde-
script debris.
1t was in the summer of 1880 that he
threw about this department the mighty
Rgis of his influence and protection. so
to speak. His name appeared at.the
head of the column in bold type as
''busineSS manager," and he took an in
bred times day. ''For money if can
get it, and if not, then for glory" was
his shibboleth. If he got anything it
surely was glory, for he certainly did
not get the shekels, if the financial
standing of the paper under his man
agement supplied reliable indication
upon which to base a Judgment of that
phase of the affair. The bills incurred
could not be met, and the reporters sal
airy was away behind. Seeing the ne
cessity, Mr.. Hall made another change
a year later and installed j. E. Ward as
the head of the department..
During the Bottineau regime one par
ticular event occurred which created
dire CONSERVATION in social and civil
service circles. 1t was the publication
of a picturesque and realistic expose of
the manners, methods and vices of the
Theatre Comique. That edition of the
paper sold like hot cakes, and extras
were put on the street during the fore
noon. While the names of the debaucRees
who nightly held high carnival with
the giddy and sparsely clad nymphs of
the Ubiquitous hole were withheld, the

portrayal of the scenes was so vivid
that the participants were generally
recognized. Society young men, gov7
eminent employees and dissolute poiice1
men joined in the mad Bacchanalian
throng, and helped to render night hid
eous in bestial orgies. Mayor Rand
took cogniZance of the article, and a
salutary reform was effected In short
order.
DOWN TO 1882.
During the greater part of the Bot
tineau regime, j. E. Ward had done ths
reporting. He had familiariZed him
self with the condition Of affairs,
weighed the probabilities as we'll as the
possibilities, and was ready to assume
the responsibilities when he accepted
the cali to the position by Mr.. Hall.
His relations with the counting room in
st. Paul were similar to those of his
immediate predecessor, He knew the
magnitude of the task he had set, to
build up profitable business, and APP
preciated the fact that it would neees-
State an immediate outlay of ready
money. He employed several canvassers,
who did land Office business, and Mr..
Ward grew Jubilant over his prospects.
The subscription price was 81 a month,
and he expected to reap big harvest of
silver dollars before he had been in the
management many months; but TO his
utter CONSERVATION and disgust the col
lector returned from his monthly rounds
and said: "Mr. Ward, these bills are
worthless. The men say they never

newspaper of the northwest, and the
value of its columns to the advertiser
was appreciated, and the reliability OF its
reports enlisted pefect confidence. In
these conditions lie the material ele-

Il SUMMER STORY.

The story of Minneapolis is an Oft
told tale. Regular and special editions
of the daily press have fairly exhausted
themselves on the subject, and to their
relief have come the transient publica-
ton and boom volume, with new ideas
and with old ones in new dress, until
not a syllable of the great beauty and
marvellous growth and wonderful re-
sources of the Flour City has remained
untold. In fact, the attention of the
world has been so frequently, so skill
fully and so forcibly directed to this
story of Minneapolis that it knows it by
heart. Itwould seem there is little left
to be said.
But, really, there is much.
1t has CHANGED that all of the annual
editions of the daily press, in which
so much space was well devoted to
glowing descriptions of all that makes
Minneapolis great, were published
about the first of the year. The period
when one years business was rounded
up and reduced to figures was general
ly chosen for the newspaper ANNALS;
and as a result, all of this valuable lit
erature was printed in midwinter, and
treated the city from a winter stand
point. This was, unintentionally,
misfortune. 1t pictured the city ill the
heart of that season which has become
bugaboo to the would-be immigrant {.
The inquiriDg reader in the East could
not, and did not. appreciate the bright,
bracng and electric winters of the
Northwest; he could not feel, in any
description, the wonderful ozone of
which he read, and he doubted and dis
trusted the winter climate of Mime
apolis.
The GLOBE takes more suspicious
season. 1t selects the bright spring
time, when Minneapolis wears, in addi-
ton to its commercial and manufacture
ing charms, the most attractive garb of
the coming summer. 1t tells pleasing,
even fascinating tale of Minneapolis in
that season when the Northwest is not
only attractive, but positively enchant-
ing. 1t was a choice between New
Years and May day, and the GLOBE

these pages, there is no tale of Ice and
snow, nor blizzard and gale. The story
treats of the open-air aspect of the Flour
City in the golden haze of budding
springtime; it tells of lake and park,
boulevard and lawn: of Minnehaha and
Minnetonka; of lake resort and inland
spa. 1t produces picture that charms
the North with the warmth of its sunny
landscape and fascinates the South with
the GOODNESS of it's lake breezes and deep
foliage.
At the same time, 1t does not neglect
those salient and important, though
stereOtyped points, treated of in every
newspaper annual. But there is no
confusing and doubtful maze of figures.
The commercial, real estate, milling,
banking, building and manufacturing
tales, SO dear to the Northwestern heart,
are told in a pleasing narrative style
to interest, not to weary.
Such is the special edition the GLOBE
nnfolds to the public gaze this morning.
1t is but a plain and pleasingIy told
story of Minneapolis and of the North
west, without coloring OF distortion. 1t
9 such story as a loyal and well-in-
formed citizen might write to his East
ern friend in describing Minneapolis.

NEW ERA FOR THE GLOBE.

The GLOBE has made, in its success
full career under its present proprietor
ship, two chief claims, and both OF them
have been completely verified. The
first was that it was pre-eminently a
Northwestern newspaper, and the sec
ond was that it was the friend and Or
gan of the masses. In regard to the
first it made no idle or fantastic pre-
tense. 1t posed simply as the devoted
exponent of the Northwestern idea, is
sued from st. Paul. 1t esSayed no com
bnation act, and came before the peo-
pie of Minneapolis purely as friend,
and as an evangel of the doctrine of
the unity of Twin City interests and
welfare. Before the advent of the
GLOBE, the feeling between the cities
of Minneapolis and st. Paul had become
crystalliZed into the expression, what
ever Injuries Minneapolis benefits st.
Paul" From the first the GLOBE
taught the advanced idea of unity
of interest, and promulgated the
sentiment, IAN injury to one is
an injury to both" Coming from
ST. Paul in this friendly spirit, the
GLOBE is gratlfied to say it was met
more than halfway by the most loyal,
the most liberal and the most intelli-
gent of the people of Minneapolis; and
to-day it looks with pride and pleasure
upon its influence in having secured the
friendly attitude in which each of the
Twin Cities regards the other.
With this edition, the GLOBE opens a
hew era of its existence in Minneapolis.
From the pinnacle Of the magnificent
new building it has erected to accom-
modate its business, it looks out over
city and upon community in which it
has an active interest and OF which 1t IS
a solid part. 1t has shown its faith in
the future of Minneapolis by its works;
and the handsome and durable
GLOBE building is an earnest of what
the newspaper will DO for the city aud
of what it will expect of the city. No
other daily newspaper in Minneapolis
has, as such. contributed dollar by
way of real estate Investment to iden-
tify itself with the city and its inter-
ests; no other daily newspaper in Min
neapolis bnt might not, at a weeks
notice. remove its plant and all its
belongings to some other and far-dis-
tant city. The GLOBE is fixture, and
its only movement will be onward and
upward.
To commemorate the opening of its
new home, and to dedicate it to the pub
lie aLl the uses for which it was con-
structad, the GLOBE issues the special
edition of to-day, with the handsome
supplement devoted to Minneapolis.
Two cities and two forces, editorial and
mechanical, contribute to this work, and
to-day, from the great Twin Cities Of
the Northwest, the GLOBE is issued
from the finest and only Twin News
paper Buildings in the world. 1t is
needless to add, the latch strings of both
buildings are always out to the public.

Here was pretty kettle of fish. The
solicitors were even then riOting in their
ill-gotten gains. 1t was evident that
they had consulted the city directory
and copied enough names to do profit

but the machinery was kept steadily in
motion, and in the course of six months
fairly good income was realized, and
it was of healthy growth.
THE AMEs CAMPAIGN.
In the spring of the next year, 1852,
DR.. Ames was nominated for mayor
against Hon. Charles M. Loring. twas
an unusually bitter and personal fight.
The Republican press hurled compile
ment of anathemas at DR.. Ames, and
the GLOBE retaliated. 1t was the pop
ular thing and won myriads of friends
and patrons. The petard of the opposi-
ton papers had no effect, however. DR..
Ames was elected by a rousing major
ity, and shortly after his inaugural he
essayed to furnish this paper daily with

THE EARLY EIGHTIES
And the Talent Which Essayed a
Difficult Problem.

Mr.. J. F. Wilcoxson succeeded Mr..
Mead. He was sent here from the staff
at the publication Office. 1t soon be-
come apparent that he was not adapted
to the duties required. Although
scholarly and talented, he lacked some
essential element to gain the good
graces, esteem and confidence of the
good citizens. just what it was it is
difficult to define, but he was failure:
Perhaps it was a want Of financial
strategism. At all events, the Office
was run at such an alarming loss that
bills remained unpaid for months and
the paper fell into Ill repute. His
career was abbreviated by a recall to the
ST. Paul Office, and meanwhile the bust
ness Of the department had degenerated
to mere nothing,

and affable clerk to Chief Clark, OF the
st. Paul police department, had served
brief apprenticeship under the tute-
lage Of MI. Meade, and was now very
