MINNEAPOLIS.
PHASES OF LIFE.

Anyone who has ever been among
telegraph operators has heard them
speak of what Is known as copying
behind-that is, the receiver keeping
several words behind the sender at the
other end of the line. Some operators
are expert at this. but it Is difficult
thing to do. One man who made quite
a reputation as a COPPER behind Is
known to old time operators as Johnny
Moreland. Johnny would keep about
fifty words behind the sender and copy
at the rate of forty-fiye words per
minute. He would take public debt
statements, with sets of figures
running up into the millions and copy
three sets of figures behind without
ever an error, something which not one
operator in LOCO can do. An amusing
story is told of Johnny when he was
working down in the Oil regions during
the height of the excitement. One of
the fastest senders in the country was
on the other end of the wire and trying
to rush Johnny. Johnny was. as usual,
about forty-five words behind and very
drunk. The superintendent of tele-
graph happened in, and, glancing over
Johnny's shoulder, was startled to see
the operator copying what the sounder
was not saying. He broke out with:
What in HI are you doing, sir?
That's not what the man is saying"
With lordly wave Of his hand,
Johnny remarked:
Never mind me. Just watch"
With the greatest nonchalance
Johnny finished that sheet, hung it on
the hook, called "eheck" and began on
the next. About halfway down it he
began writing what the superintendent
had heard on entering the Office. II
was one on the superintendent.

TWO Markets.

Franchises Recommended for
Harlow Gale and j. W. Law
renee.
The council committee on markets
met yesterday afternoon and spent sew
eral hours In making alterations in the
market ordinances, which will grant
franchises to Harlow Gale and to "The
North Minneapolis Market company"
which is represented by J. W. Law
renee. The ordinances, after being
altered, were recommended by the COM
mittee for passage. Both ordinances
will come before the council tonight.
1t was recommended that Mr.. Gale be
allowed until June l, 1890, in which to
state the site for the market, and until
June 1, 1891, to have the market square
paved and the sheds erected ready for
use. II will be remembered that accord
ing to previous ordinance Mr.. Gale was
given until June l, 1888, in which to
have these buildings erected. This is
practically extending the time two
years more. There have been several
such extensions of time. The market
shall include one full block. instead of
half block, and shall be neatly paved
with suitable sheds furnished for the
accommodation of teams. The franchise
shall be for twenty-five instead of fifty
year, and the city is to have the option
of purchasing the market at the end of
ten years and at the end of each sue
ceeding five years. The market will
accommodate 300 teams, and teams shall
not be allowed to stand in the streets
until after all the market square space

ALL SORTS.

Judge Rea is having an opportunity
to test the pleasure of anticipation. The
longer the president vacillates in max
ing the appointment, so much the longer
will the Judge be allowed this pleasure,
which serves, in a degree, to make up
for the excitement of the departed ball
games.
East side real estate men are think
ing of applying for an injunction re-
straining newspaper reporters, alder
men and health officers from referring
any more to that mysterious East side
stink.
1t looks as though there must be
something rotten in Denmark when the
deputy collector Of internal revenue is
told in open court by the bench that he
is dishonorable, disreputable and UNI
professional as an attorney. Especially
does it look bad when his client Is a
widow.

IRON WORKERS, WAGES.

An Englishman in st. Paul yesterday,
who has been most of his life employed
in steel and iron works in England, in
speaking of the condition of those in
dustries in the two countries, said it
was true that higher wages were paid
the wOrkmen in this country, but this
was fully equalized by the fact that the
money of the English artisan would buy
as much or little more of the essen
tials of life. He eli Q various articles
in evidence of this. In illustration of
the general thrift of English workmen
he said that they had in successful OPP
Grafton some 1,700 cooperative stores,
which sell only to stockholders. He
had himself invested 91OO in one of
them. and received one year ESQ, or
$50 per cent IN dividends. This was adj
mitted to be above the average, but the
generally profitable character of these
establishments is explained by the facts
that they charge full market prices, sell
only the best goods, combine all the
varieties of a city and country store,
and have been fortunate in securing
capable and honest management.

NOT ALL SWAMP LANDS.
Unintentional Frauds Perpetrated
on the Duluth District.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. J. Woollen,
a special agent of the general land
Office, has made to the commissioner a
report of his examination of the lands
embraced in Swamp Land Lists Nos. 10
and 20, in the Duluth. Mimi, land dis
trict, with view to determining the
character Of the land. The basis of this
investigation was the charge that by
fraudulent field notes of survey more
land was shown to be swamp than In
fact existed. Mr.. WOollen finds that
of the 1876 acres contained in ap-
proved lists Nos. 10 and 20, in the
townships surveyed In 1880 and sub
Sequently, 6,497 acres are dry land, and
he therefore recommends that the APP
proval of the same to the state of Min
nesOta under the swamp land act be re-
voked and the lands restored to the
public domain. The 9.49S acres shown
to be swamp, he thinks, should be
patented to the state without delay.
The results of his investigation. he
says, lead him to the conclusion that no
actual fraud was peTpetrated in the
townships examined, and that the rea-
son why SO much dry land is shown to
be swamp by the field notes and plates
of survey, arises partly because of the
method of protecting the lines of
swamp through the Sectious, on the
SuppOSltiOn that because a swamp is
found on parallel exterior lines of a
section, it runs entirely through the
section. These surveys were generally
made in winter, when it was quite i'm
possible to tell the exact character of
the land.

WANT WINDOWS SCALP.

The HARRISON administration started
on wild-goose chase when it tied itself
to STEVE ELKINs' apron strings. 1t is
true that ELKINs has more brains than
the president and his cabinet, but he
happens to be one Of those practical
fellows with a commercial disposition
who has no use for politics unless there
is money in it. He once displayed his
brilliant abilities as politician of the
business stripe by organizing the star
route jobbery, reaping the emoiuments,
and then slipping out and leaving DOR
sEY and the rest of the crowd with the
bag to hold when the exposure came.
His last trick was to persuade Secre-
tary WINDOW into that Mexican lead
ore blunder, and now that the sec
rotary is disposed to get out of it, Mr..
ELKINS' crowd are bowling them
selves hoarse in denunciation OF
the secretary. The trouble is
that ELKINs and BLAINE are
owners of lead mines in this
country while WINDOW is identified
with G. P. HUNTINGToN's railway in
terestS, which will be benefited by
keeping up a trade with Mexico. 1t
now occurs to Mr.. WINDOW that he
Overreached himself in his attempt to
accommodate BLAINE and ELKINS, and
is trying to crawfish Oh his lead ore Or
der. The result will be the liveliest
sort of a fight between ELKINs and
WINDOW, with the chances that the lat
ter's scalp will be dangling from the
formers belt. ELKINs is now out gum
ming for WINDOW, and there will be a
vacancy in the cabinet pretty soon I'M
less WINDOW subordinates his own in
terestS to those of the lead trust.

James Faulkner and Lion" Toles hur-
ridly left the court room. They went
down on the elevator and left the build
ing and have not been seen at their
hotel since, up to 11:30. There was a
rumor started that James Faulkner had
returned to Canada. but later it was
learned that he was IN the custody of

mittee and seemed satisfied with their
recommendations, although they did not
include so much as he had originally
asked for.
Mr.. Lawrence also met with the COM
mittee, but went away much less salts
fed than did Mr.. Gale. The market
house which he represents Is the ono

the Washington rink in North Mime
apOlis. He asked that he have the priv.
ilege of using Washington avenue and
Tenth avenue north for teams after the
market house was full. The COMMITTEES
would not consent to this, and he then
asked for tho privilege Of having room
for forty teams on Tenth avenue north,
with the provision that the city council
could rescind the right at pleasure. The
committee recommended the ordinances
excepting this clause, which will come

SOUTH DAKOTA CAPITAL.

The location of the capital of South
Dakota, although the most exciting in
cident of the election, is not final ad-
justment of the question. Pierre may
cherish very considerable confidence
in the permanent retention of the
prize, but the ordeal will have to be
gone through again. The legislature
just elected is required to submit at the
first general election, which is in No
vember, 1890. the question of the per-
manent capital. At that vote there
must be majority for some town or no
choice. In case of no choice, then the
question must be submitted at the next
general election, two years later, the
choice being confined to the two highest
candidates at the first vote. The figures
of the vote this week indicate that the
final selection will not be made until
the trial had In 1892.

GOLD IN CHINA.

Those heather Chinese would rather
have the laugh on the Melicans if the
discovery of gold in China should prove
so rich and extensive as to excite a
Juror over the world, as in the case of
California and some of the South Pa
cific lands. Gold hunters flocking there
from the United States would have Chi
nese bosses if they were allowed to
work. The spectacle would make a
good companion picture to some that
are readily recalled in this country.
John would enjoy it. The discovery of
gold quartz there seems to be accepted
as fact by some OF the Chinese capt.
talists in the United States. They have
organized a company and intend to buy
100000 worth of machinery in this
country and employ Americans to SUI
perintend the development of the
mines. There are considerable changes
in things probable if the reports should
be verified.

THE CREMAToRY MUST GO.
IA. e. Day Asks the Aid OF the
Courts in Closing 1t.

Herbert E. Day, residing at 723
Eleventh avenue southeast, has begun
an action In the district court against
the city of Minneapolis to obtain an in
junction restraining the city from using
a certain building situated on Hennepin
island as a garbage crematory. Mr..
Day, in asking for this injunction, makes
use of the following language in his
complaint: "That more than a year
ago one S. S. Kilvington, who Is presi-
dent of the board of health of the city,
built certain garbage crematOry on
Hennepin island, in the Second ward,
where the plaintiff resides. That there
upon said Kilvington, by some process
of reasoning unknown to this plaintiff,
induced the city council to purchase the
crematOry, and has ever since operated
the same, and said plaintiff Is Informed
and believes that it has been operated
during a greater part Of the time to its
fullest, if not entirely beyond its ca
pacity.
"That said crematory Is used mainly
for burning dead horses, cattle, dogs
and all sorts of foul substances that ac-
cumulate in the city. and when in 0per-
alton it naturally sends forth vast vol
umes of foul smoke and deleterious
odors. and when the weather is favora-
BILE the plaintiff believes he is justified
in saying that it 'Breathes forth
contagion on the world THAT
particularly on the 2Sth day of
September and on the 1st day Of Octo-
Der, 1889, said crematory emitted such
foul, sickening and deadly 0dors that
said plaintiff was compelled to sleep
with the doors and windows OF his
al xuhn oash Iain
opened his doors and windows in the
morning, as he supposed to let in the
pure air of heaven, the foul stencil from
said crematory came in instead, and
thereupon said plaintiff was taken vio-
lently sick, and has not fully recovered
from said sickness since.
''Fhat on said last mentioned date the
condition of the atmosphere in the
Second ward on account of said
crematory was even worse than ever be-
fore known, and plaintiff was COM
PEELED to lie awake greater portion of
the night on account of the foul odors;
that on the evening of said day deadly
smoke and foul gases from the crema-
tory settled down upon the Second ward
like pail; that the plaintiff, as well as
other residents of said ward, were rem
dered more or less sick OH account
thereof, and the plaintiff verify believes
that should said erematOry be allowed
to longer remain in operation said
plaintiffs health will be in danger" He
further sets forth that some time ago he
and number of the residents of the
Second ward petitioned the city council
to abate this nuisance, but that the
said S. S. KilvIngton at once brought
his reasoning powers to bear upon the
city council. and said petition was
promptly denied, and said crematory
still stands and breathes forth 1t foul
breath of pestilance, in defiance of the
rights of the plaintiff and other resi-
dents of the city; monument of alder
ing and disgust to the residents of the
Second ward, and especially to this
plaintiff"

HE Is FIT.

Some of the republican papers fancy
that they are facetious or chatfy i'll urg
ing the New York district vacated by
Mr.. Cox. to elect Mr.. CLEVELAND. The
assumption that the suggestion may be
annoying to the ex-president, or deroga-
tory to his dignity. is gratuitOus. There
are notable precedents. The second
ADAMS served in the lower branch of
congress seventeen years after he had
been president, and made better rec
ord than even in the presidency. Ex-
President JOHNSON was elected to the
senate from Tennessee, but died soon
after. If Mr.. CLEVELAND has any de-
sire to go to congress. it is probable the
New York district would be glad to
send him. OF course it would make
