THURSDAY At DULUTH.
Secret Council Meeting to Discuss
Storm Damage.
DEPUTY OIL INSPECT OR
The Eastern Minnesota Not Specially
Damaged---Small Notes Of
Day.

Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, Aug. 22.-The city council
held secret meeting last night to dis
cuss the payment of damages from the
recent storm. A majority of the council
did not consider the city responsible for
greater share of the losses, as the
water that fell this side of the First av-
enue dam that burst was more than suf-
ficient to cause the destruction of prop
erty that took place. Two committees
on appraiSement were appointed. These
will meet the damaged business firms
and try to arrive at the exact loss. If
the losses can be adjusted on discount
the city will probably pay, but if not,
several aldermen say they will contest
the claims. 1t is the general opinion
among business men that the city would
have to pay every claim. Setting the
loss down to disposition Of PrOvi-
dence, as the city wishes to do, will not
give satisfaction.
1t is rumored that Duluth is to be en-
tirely left out in the cold so far as the
deputy oil inspectorship is concerned.
Aid. Kennedy, B. johnson and Val
Wilkerson are trying to pluck the fruit,
but it is Improbable under present cir

get it. Silas Forman, the deputy in
spector at st. Paul, is now the official
who looks after Duluth's oil, and he
may take the place. It's nice, eco
nOmical plan,, but large sized howl is
likely to go up from Duluth over it.
Eastern Minnesota officials deny in
toto the rumor that its road was injured
in any degree dangerous to the travel
ing puplic by yesterdays storm.
w. G. Harrington, assistant treasurer
of the Eastern Minnesota road, gives a
party at the Spalding this evening in
honor of his sister, Miss Harrington, of
st. Paul. Miss Brisbine, Capital city
bell. and several other Twin City ladies
will be present.
A. w. Perry, A. A. and W. Fl. Gran

Bees Fight a Farmer.

A Newburg, N. Y. dispatch to the
New York Telegram says: Edward
Faubel, young man at Jetfersonville
Sullivan county, recently came very
near losing his life from the effect of
bee stings. He was moving, and
CHANGED to run his scythe into
a nest of bumble-bees. In an
instant myriadS of the angry
bees were swarming about his
head, and before Faubel could escape
from them they had stung him in scores
of places about the head, face and neck.
Immediately the parts in which the
stings had been inflicted began to swell
frightfully and the swelling soon be-
came so bad that his face was unrecog-
niZable. and his throat so enormously
large that his windpipe was almost
closed up, and it was with the greatest
difficulty that he could breathe at all.
A physician was summoned, and he
found the unfortunate young man al
most suffocated and black in the face.
Remedies to neutraliZe the effects of the
poison in Faubel's system were ad-
ministered. and he began to improve,
and is now believed to be out of danger.
1t is probably due to the fact that Mr..
Faubel was heated by hard work in the
sun that the stingS he received proved
so remarkably severe in their effects.

A Soft Seat.

Youths Companion.
A monkey and half-grown kitten
that lived in the same house in New
York furnished much entertainment to
the family by their pranks, or rather by
the monkeys prankS, to which the kit

The monkey was chained so that puss
could easily keep out of the way ii she
chose, but many times day she strayed
careleSsly within his reach. She might
be careless but he was not; he knew
the instant she crossed the line into his
dominion, and bounced on her, snatch
ing at leg, ear or the tail, always if
possible. the latter, which he seemed to
regard a convenient handle. Then began
the frolics; he shook her till her teeth

by the tail; climbed with her to the top
of his post. and held her like baby

fashion, poked apart her toes. examined
her ears and otherwise interested him.
self in her anatomy.
But his browning delight was to sit
on her. Holding her down to the
ground with one firm little hand. he de-
liberately planted himself on her warm,
soft, uncovered ribs as if she had been
a cushion.
Though he was not very big, being
about twice the size of the kitten, and
she had her claws, the use of which
would instantly relieve her, she often
let him enjoy his comfortable seat till

THE SUGAR TRUST wEAKENs.

1t Finds Itself Obliged to Sell the
Sweet Stuff at Loss.
New York World, Aug. II.
1t is seldom that big trust, with
millions of capital can BIZ forced into a
position where it is compelled to do
business at an absolute loss, but this is
the present situation of the sugar trust.
The history of this gigantic combine IS
well known. 1t forced the price of
sugar higher than it had been for forty
years, and by its peculiar methods OF
doing business made $25,0O0,000 over
and above its legitimate profits in less
than two years.
For some time past the demand for
sugar has been steadily falling off. Last
week no New York sales at all were
chronicled in Willett, Hamlen & Co.'s
weekly statement, and this week the
reported sales are very light. The
prices for raw sugar have declined nine
SiXteenths of cent and for refined one
half cent. The efforts of refinerS to
make sufficiently low price for their
product to induce demand, and have
an improving market for the remainder
of the year, have carried down the quo
+ tatious for raws also, so that One-half
IuC lioC lOl tilS JOtti 10 iooV' W.
trifugaIs are now SIG cents below and
granulated 1 cent below the highest
price for the year. These big reduc-
tions have been voluntary, and they are
notable from the fact that the refners
have at present large quantity OF raw
sugars in stock for much of which they
paid prices equal to the present selling
prices of refined sugars.
This condition of affairs presents the
curious anomaly of trust doing bust
ness for nothing; if, indeed, not at an
actual loss. The sudden change is one
that the business little expected. Two
weeks ago it was congratulating itself
upon being able to keep up prices be-
yOnd doubt. The change has been
caused by strange and unexpected con-
ditions of the market both i'll Europe
and America. 1t has been sort OF
Semi-panic, and the big holders OF re-
fined sugars have felt a strong desire to
unload. The demand has fallen low.
and tremendous vacuum has formed
in the trade in cOnSeQuence-Onen never
before known in the history of the
trade. Several American and Euro
pean refnerieS are closed.
The estimated stock in all the prin-
cipal countries is 100000 tons, against
100000 at the same time last year. 1t
remains to be seen whether further re-
auctions will follow. The sugar con-
sumers may well congratulate them
selves. for the loss trust, is, of course,
gain to them.

A Bird That Dances.

Macon (Ga) Telegraph
Macon has the most remarkable bird
in the known world, being nothing less
than musical gander. This wonderful
bird is owned by some nagroes living in
the vicinity of the gas works, at the
foot of Mulberry street. For several
weeks the employees of the gas works,
as well as the electric light works
in the same neighborhood have been
seen to stop every evening on quitting
work and surround lot of little ne
groes who daily congregate on the
railroad embankment. Yesterday a
telegraph man: determined to see the
cause of the gathering, and on proceed
ing to the locality found the little ne
groes engaged in ''patting" with all
their might,a and an Oldssgray goose in the
center of the circle dancing, first
on one foot and then on the Other
The gander seemed to enjoy the dance
and though it may read like fake
was keeping most excellent time to the
rude music made by the children. For
an hour or so that fool goose will dance
to the patting, always stopping when
the children cease their music, and
seems always ready to resume. Any
one who will take the trouble to go
down to the gas works any of these
evenings will see the wonderful goose.

would soon be shut down on by 1.-THE
finest'' in New York. A curiosity
loving woman, especially if she be a
privileged American, may sit in the
stalls. but the safest plan is to take in
the show from a box. The heated air
and cigar smoke render the stall at
times unpleasant, not to speak Of the
chance of meeting ones friends.
The show in itself is variety business,
merely, with fat French sister intro
duced to give piquancy, and a most
elaborate ballet entitled cleopatra" A
coincidence is the acute resemblance of
the Cleopatra Of the piece and Mrs. J.
b. Potter. 1t would seem that this
young woman must have studied Mrs.
Potter's little mannerisms and the pc
culiar meaningless upward roll of her
eyes. The costuming is similar and as
little to speak of.
AS a spectacle this cleopatra"
equals the Potter's, and the acting
well, there is really nothing of it to
criticise in either show.

MORE DEMOCRATS NEEDED
For the Good of Public Affairs on
the Missouri Slope.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
MANDAN, n. D., Aug. 22.-It is gen.
orally supposed by the Republicans OF
this part of the territory-if their words
are to be believed-that the Democracy
is not in very lively condition. They
profess to believe that they will have
no Democrats to fight after this, and
they assume that. such being the case,
everything will be lovely. In this they
are mistaken. In the first place the
fight is not all gone out of the Demo-
Gratis, and in the second place if it was,
the last condition of the Republicans
would be worse than the first. There
plore more than the internecine fights
that they experience. They are always
busy fighting themselves. and the
weaker the Democracy is the more
they = fight in their own ranks.
1t is true that the Democracy
is not as strong as it should be in this
part of North Dakota. If it were
stronger, politics would be purer, and
there would, in the nominations, be less
ola disposition to nominate men re-
gardless of their fitness. The machine
would not then be so effective in carry
ing men through, regardless of fitness.
The professional politicians in this
county are not Democrats. The Demo-
Gratis are men who don't have to make
living or even a
HOBBY OF POLITICS,
and they take hand as every good
citizen should, for the purpose of doing
a good citizens share in clearing the
Augean stables of filth. They are I'M
bued with the principles of Thomas
Jefferson, and believe thatplaces should
be filled by men whose first qualifica-
lions should be their pre-emlnent tit
ness. But because, partly, of the lack
of the machinery in the local Demo
cratic party, it is a question il the
legislative district which embraces
this and Oliver counties, will
be able to send a Democrat to
the legislative assembly. There are
some good men to be met with who
would be willing to take places on the
ticket, but the chances of election are
slim. In the next district west, COM
prised of Stark and Billings counties, it
is altogether probable that William
Ray, of Dickinson, Democrat who rep
resented the dirtrict very ably in the
constitutional convention, will be
elected. He is popular in his home and
can be beat almost any Republican that
is put up. 1t is probable, unless the
Republicans make very bad nominal
tions, that one Democrat out OF five
members is all the West Missouri cOun-
ties will be able to send. 1t is to be
hoped that no other part of the new
state will do any worse than this.

The Monkey and Messenger Boy.

The Monkey and Messenger Boy.
New York Sun.
About six months ago Mr.. Michael j.
Flaherty, of the Eckford club, Will
iamsburg, presented to Manly & Ken
needy, the proprietors of a saloon at $40
Wythe avenue, Williamsburg, young
monkey. MIR. Manly soon taught
the pet to throw dice for the drinks,
and several other accomplishments.
The animal became great pet in the
saloon, and was often invited from his
perch on the ice-cheSt to come down to
the bar aud have something. Last Fri
day there was ring from Manly d Ken
nedy's saloon for messenger boy at the
station of the eastern district. The call
was answered, but the proprietors said
that they had not summoned boy.
A little later in the afternoon there
was another call from the saloon, and
then the police and the fire department
were called through the district mes
senger service. The police and the fire
department did not respond, bnt man
was sent to investigate the trouble.
The monkey was perched quietly on the
ice-box when the agent of the district
messenger Office arrived. Messrs.
Manly & Kennedy again denied having
sent any call. The monkey was
watched, and in few minutes he
swung himself over the ice-box and
rung the call again.
On Saturday the call-box was placed
over the bar out of range of the monkey.
He retaliated on Sunday morning by
breaking the wire running to the call
box. Manly & Kennedy are very fond
of their pet, and declare that they will
sooner give up their district messenger
service than their mascot.

Up and General Signs of Pros
perity.
Special to the Globe.
YANKToN, S. D., Aug. 22.-The
building boom has developed into some
thing of a substantial nature here.
Third street is torn up with sewerage
building, and there are general signs OF
prosperity from one end of town to the
other. There are at present 100 build
4ings in course of erection, many of
them being elegant aud substantial
specimens OF architectural skill. The
new hotel, now being built, Will be by
large odds the finest structure OF the
kind in South Dakota, and will cost
100000.
The Crennan-Pierce block is another
building which will be an ornament to
the city, and, like the hotel, will be con-
structed of stone and st. Louis pressed
brick. The greater portion OF this
block will be occupied by the general
offices of the Yankton, Norfolk & South
western railway.
The new Second National bank build
ing is the handSOmeSt building on
Third street.
The cement company's works will be
by far the largest building yet erected
here, the contract calling for 1,5OO, 600
brick. Its dimensions are 300x50O feet.
This concern will employ 300 laborers,
and will produce 1000 barrels OF cement
every month.
The immediate building of the Yank
ton, Norfolk & Southwestern railway
and the extension of the St. Paul, Min
neapolis & Manitoba from Sioux Falls.
and of the st. Paul, Minneapolis d
Omaha line from Harrington, Neb., as
we'll as the probable acquisition OF other
roads, has had a wonderful effect on
real estate values. All classes OF busl-
ness has been stimulated. and general
season of commercial prosperity is at
hand. That our people are strong IN
their faith in the future of Yankt0n is
exhibited in the way in which they have
their capital invested.
There is a good demand here for car
penters, brick masons and labOrers. OF
the latter there is work for 500.
