A Happy Acknowledgment by
Him of His Election.
Freeman P. Lane, Alvah Eastman
and F. E. Searle were appointed as a
committee to escort Col. Graves to the
chamber of the house. They brought
him in about $50, he looking every inch
the soldier that he is. Chairman Ben
son grasped his hand and led HIM to the

standing as straight as if in the ranks,
Col. Graves bowed to the members and
said:

MADISON, Wis, Jan. 7.-The sensa-
ton of the day was the appointment by
the new governor of George w. Burch-
ard as adjutant general. The oath of
Office had scarcely been admins
tered to Hoard before all sus-
pense on this question was relieved
and Gen. Chapman found himself
dropped by the new executive. Ever
since Hoard was nominated at Milwau-
kee last fall there has been any amount
of speculation regarding this matter.
Chapman has occupied the position ever
since the creation of the office, and was
well liked by the state militia
officers and men. The whole
affair is well known to
all who are in any way interested in the
matter, and the question of whether or
not Chapman was to be retained has
been the talk of the entire state. About
six weeks ago Hoard announced that
he was going to appoint Burchard
state pension agent in place of
Editor Watrous, of Milwaukee, and
remove the agency to Madison. Those
who were uninfOrmed were therefore
surprised at the appointment of Bur-
chard to Chapman's place. 1t is ap-
parent now that a scheme has been
thoroughly formulated, and some
mysterious visits of Burchard
to ex-Boss Keyes here dur
ing the past month are explained.
The Legislators have hardly had time
yet to think anything on the matter,
but among the prominent militiamen of
the state, all of whom are in the city
attending the inaugural, the greatest
Indignation exists breaking out into
almost a mutiny in some spots. Tis
evident that Gov. Hoard has gotten into
warm water before fairly seated in his
official chair.

PARK RIVER, Oak, Jan. There
are no special cases of suffering in
Walsh county. A very few known cases
of poverty are promptly relieved by
neighbors. This county with $4,000 in
it's treasury and large, comfortable
poor house with only one inmate will
take care of its own poor as occasion
arises. All reports that this county is

SENSATIONAL REPORTS CONDEMNED.
Special to the GLOBE.
GRAFTON, Dak., Jan. THE COM
missoners of Walsh county, Dak., now
In session, strongly condemn the sensa-
tional accounts of destitution west of
Park river. They desire the fullest
publicity given to the fact that no COM
plants have been made to them; that
they do not know of any such
suffering. The chairman of the
board is near neighbor of the
Mr.. Riches, who started this report, yet
nothing was said to him about it nor
any help asked. The county has good
poor-farm and poOr-house, which is
empty of inmates, and any applications
for outside relief have been promptly
supplied. There is no county in Da-
kota in better financial condition than
Walsh county, and it is able and willing

of a solid South, and in some instances
demonstrated that where votes had
been claimed by him, members had never
even been approached. Senator Buck
man, Representative Flynn, Hon. d, D..
Knox, Tom Pugh, l.. P. Hunt. and the
others of that compact little force which
had fought so gallantly for Graves for
three days and nights, were well sat
isfed.
"It is only question now,' said Mr.. Knox,
whether Morgan will Withdraw. and let US
nominate Graves by acclamation.'
With Blue Earth against him Except
Representative Barn, Olmsted gone,
Winona divided, GOodhue lost, Rice di-
vided, Fillmore divided, there did seem
to be but little reason for Mr.. Morgan
prolonging the hour OF his death. He
was victim to the bad generalship of
men who sought to use him for their
own ends, and personally there was
much regret at his defeat. The contest
had been friendly from the start. Both
Mr.. Morgan and Col. Graves conducted
their canvass with the best of personal
feelings toward each other. And Mr..
Morgan, who is one of the most popular
of the young Republicans OF the state,
was made to understand yesterday, it is
said, that in no sense would the victors
abuse their success as far as he was con-
cerned. 1t was quite universally felt
that he was the victim Of the Washbnrn
forces, and for that open to condolences.

MASON CITY, To-, Jan. THE recent
decision of the Iowa supreme court in
the famous A. O. u. w. suit is attract
ing considerable comment throughout
the entire state, but the outcome OF the
Iowa trouble can not now be deter
mined. In an interview, j. r. Miller,
editor of the Iowa Workman, the otfi-
cial journal OF the state A. o. U. W.,
expressed the belief that there will be
an attempt at reconciliation and COM
promise of the trouble. and an ultimate
reunion of the two factions. He seemed
to think, Furthermore, that the loyal
branch would have to come to terms
with the so-called seceders, or else quit
business in Iowa, since under the law
the loyals could be enjoined from trans
acting any business in the state. The
loyal faction has membership of about
5000, while the seceders branch has
over 900 in it's ranks. OF the former,
only about 300 belonged to the order
prior to the split in the order, which
arose over the operation of the relief
law of the supreme lodge. A meeting

THE LEADERS
On Both Sides During the First
Battle.

"NO one deprecates more than L. said
Senator Buckman, ''the manner iii
which the speakership contest was
shaped. But the Sabin men were forced.
to defend themselves, and think they
have in a manner greatly to their
credit"
This was said about noon Monday. d.
J. Knox at the same time remarked:
Morgan is beaten by the fatality
which attached him to Washburn."
Senator Frank Day. who has enthusi-
astically supported Mr.: Morgan. could
not see this, nor could E. f. Gilbert,
who, although Washburn man, has
speakership and senatorial contests.
Freeman P. Lane, while waiting for his
dinner, made the confident prediction
that it was settled in favor of Graves.
Governor-elect Merriam's part in the
battle was the subject of much debate
until the word went around that he had
sent word to the Graves men that he
would be pleased to assist them. This
was construed to mean that the dark
horses were falling behind and Sabin
stock rising.
Mankato had delegation of dozen
business men in the lobby, led by John
A. Willard and fighting for Graves.
Except Gaylord Lamb, l.. G. M. Fletcher
and George Barr it was hard to find an
anti-Graves man from Blue Earth
county. The Blue Earth delegation
held several caucuses during the day,
after which the Washburn men con-
ceded Messrs. Perrin, LassO and Davis.
to Graves. l.. P. Hunt was particularly
jubilant since he considered it an out
and out Sabin victory and disastrous
defeat for Washburn.
Charley Gilman and George Sprague,
eX-president of the farmers alliance,
for Mr.. Graves. They visited the Sabin
quarters several times during the day.
Mr.. Sprague spoke with earnestness as
to the Misrepresentation of the Wash
burn men in regard to the sentiment
of Fillmore county toward Morgan.
What he said was sustained by the Fill
more delegation, with the exception of
DIR. Phillips declaring for Graves.
In Hennepin county, at least four
members declared for Graves, despite
efforts to have the delegation solid for
Morgan. Freeman P. Lane gets credit
for this mastery work. The
desertions came in wholesale guam
titles. and were the more
marked because or what MOrgan'S
strength had been admitted to be Thurs
day morning. Gen. Washburn strobe
the rear part of the lobby with the
blankest kind of an expression on
his face. Surrounding him were more,
Sabin men by four to one than his own
followers. The Union league was no

their favorites, without takers. The
tide ran one way, and there was no
master mind there to stem it. Gener-
alship, such as leads forlorn hopes to
victory, had wrested from seeming de-
feat the standard of success. Mr.. Nor
gan's personal friends, who had fought
his battle alone and not Gen. Wash
burns. felt this and soberly awaited
what they saw to be inevitable.

Boston, Jan. 7.-Asa Brainard, aged
fOrty-eight, celebrated as the pitcher

seventies, died recently of pneumonia at
Denver, where he was keeping billiard

He was the only pitcher of the club

in the box. In 1869 on the famous trip
of the club Asa Brainard pitched in
fifty-five games out of fifty-seven played,
Harry Wright pitching in the other two.
Brainard is the first to go of the cele-

UNDERGROUND FIRE.
Supposable Incendiaries Fire the
NOrrie Iron Mine.

IsHPEMING, Mich, Jan. THE dis
astrous experience of the Calumet and
Hecla copper mine with an under
ground fire has been repeated on a
small scale by the Norrie iron mine, in
the Gogebic district. The fire in this
mine, which shipped 405,O00 tons Of ore
in 1888, burned some ten days, and the
damage is estimated at $4,000, though
the full extent of the injury done re-
mains yet to be seen. A large, new
pump that cost $500, was destroyed,
and much damage done to the timber
ing. Like the copper mine fire, the
origin of the Norrie fire is a mystery.
If incendiaries are to begin operations
on large scale in the mines of the
Lake Superior district, it will add new
danger to mining operations.
