FLAMBEAU CLUB BALL.
Armory Hall the Scene of Bril-
liant Gathering Last Night.

liant Gathering Last Night.
A man without uniform of some
kind was away below par at the Flam-
beau club reception at Armory hall last
evening. The club boys, sixty in num-
Der, appeared in their new uniforms for
the first time, and presented very pic
turesque appearance in fiery red caps
covered with gold braid, blue zouave
Jacket, blue trousers and red vests en-
broidered in old gold. There were also
present and in uniform representatives
of all the local militia companies, in
Guiding the cavalry and artillery COM
panies.
The large hall was handsomely deco
rated with flags and bunting, and Thyle
& Ringwall's orchestra occupied a
draped dais on the south side of the room.
The floor was we'll filled, not crowded
all the evening, there being over 500
people present. The dance program
was long one and it was late before
the company broke up. Refreshments
were served during the evening in QUE
of the side rooms. 1t was very pleas
ant event in every way and the club
will realize S100 or more from the ball,
which will be q d led to the fund already
raised for paying the expenses of the

The Flambeau boys have spent all
their money for new blue clothes, and
now they are saving up their pennies to
go to Washington and tell Bonnie Har-
rison how hard they worked for him,
and it will be really pitiful if they don't
get money enough to pay their ex-
penSes.

NO LET UP.
Ed. Stewart Is After the TrID-
une's Scalp Yet.

une's Scalp Yet.
Levi NJ. Stewart has begun his battle
against the Tribune again. and yester-
day morning filed papers beginning
another suit against the company to re-
cover $4,000 for alleged libel. The
action is based OH an article roasting
the ..elder'' which appeared in the
Wrruthful James" column long time
ago. In his complaint Mr.. Stewart al
leges that he has demanded retractlCn
from the present owners of the paper,
but that it was not made. The obnoxious
article was as follows:
81 find myself wholly unable to ac--
complish anything with my old friend
Elder Stewart. The old man is evil
IDENTITY in his second childhood, or is as
persistent as an untamed and uncaged
lion. am sorry to see him SO 1ooilSil
in his conduct toward those who would
be kind neighborS if he would let them.
1t may be remembered, however, that
the elder is fond of libel suits. In con-
yersatiOn with Judge BabcOck the Other-
day was Informed that some time IN
1874 or 1875 the elder had a tit OF the
blues, or an attack OF rheumatic hol,
gestion. or both, and as result, sued
UDG lIlUuuS Ill llUCl dOOuO Hull s.YNSAA
times. also the judge of one OF 1.-THE
courts, the chief of police, sheriff. or
some other officials. a half dozen law
yers, etc., etc.. i'll fact the eldershad
pretty much the whole town by the ears.
But that was 10 or IA years ago. Fine
should make lot of difference. l am
Informed that G. L. Smith, the gentle
man who is so villainously attacked by
Stewart in the Tribune of May "a, 1857,
and on account of which his entire OPP
position to and cussedness toward the
Tribune since, arlses-will begin So
600 libel suit against Stewart this week.
If Mr.. Smith does bring suit, as. he
long since should have done, there IS
not jury living that would not grant
the fullest satisfaction. Mir. Smith is
most estimable, clear-headed, careful
man who would not willfully wrong a
human being. His business is such
that bad reputation would absolutely
kill it. Stewart knew this and struck
the most terrific blow square at the
mans reputation. Smith will show
that he has suffered untold misery and
great damage because of this attack. L
have no doubt that he has just cause
and that Stewart will be properly pun
ished. He ought to be in at least S2O,-
OOO."

THE BUILDING INSPECTOR.
That Functionary's Office Given a
Shaking Up.

The matter of the employees of the de-
partment of building inspection came
up, as to four men selected by the COM
mittee against the wishes of Inspector
Orff, and the latter presented COM
munication asking that he be allowed
to make his own selections,
and mentioned the names of
August Siegman for first assist
ant, Martin McHale or Patrick
Duffy for second, j. NJ. Woodman for
third and John Almquist for fourth.
This was rather different from the re-
port OF the committee, and discussion
arose. Aid. Thompson, from the
committee on building inspection, prac-
tically said that the only reason the
committee had dropped Mr.. Siegman
and put Mr.. Woodman in his place was
on account of politics. Aid. Potter
said Mr.. Orff, was changing his mind
too often, and he didn't know
but it would be well to change
the head of the department.
A resolution was also presented
authorizing the building inspector to
discharge any Of his assistants not liv-
ing up to his instructions. After some
sparring for an opening, Aid. Sterling
moved to adopt the report OF the COM
mittee. Aid. Parry moved to amend by
laying the report OH the table. This
was lost, and the report was accepted,
and the men named in the report of the
committee were appointed with the pro-
viso that they might be discharged
for failure to discharge their duties.
Aid. Meloy moved to substitute Patrick
Duffy for Martin McHale in the list as
given in the committees report, which
read as follows: 81. W. Woodman.
first; J. NJ. Hazen, plumbing inspector;
Martin McHale, second; John Aim
quist, third" The amendment to place
Duffy instead of McHale was lost. A
motion to strike out Hazen's name was
carried.

divorce proceedings against James
Shearer. She is thirty-fve years OF age
and he thirty-rine. They were married
in Minneapolis about five years ago,
and for a time were considered pretty
nice people. Finally Shearer lost MS
situation, and things began to look
desperate. Things went from bad to
worse, and finally Shearer began to put
in his time loafing around town. HIS
wife objected to this, and at last ne
took her to the house OF prostitution
kept by Swede Kate. and secured 1or
her rooms there. He compelled her TO
live there and give him the money she
earned by her shame. At last the
woman became tired of giving all her
money to the man who called hlmself
her husband, and so refused to give MN
any more. Then Shearer left the city
and has not since been seen by his wife.
She charges simple desertion In her
complaint. Mrs. Shearer is now work
ing as a domestic in the city under an
assumed name and earning al honesC

THE WHEAT MOVEMENT.
Minneapolis Stocks Going Down
In Spite of Small Output.

The wheat movement in the North
west was never smaller at this season
of the year than it is now, taking into
the calculation the remarkably favor
able weather for moving it, with the I'M
usually fine roads, says Col. G. S. Rogers
in the Market Record. During the last
four weeks an investigation shows that
the average farmers deliveries in Min
nesota and in Dakota have
amounted to less than 20 per
cent of the deliveries year
ago. While the country elevator ship
ments have been light also, they have
so greatly exceeded arrivals the stocks
in them are rapidly declining. AT the
rate wheat has been coming out for the
last two weeks. there is a prospect of a
reduction of country stocks OF no less
than 20 per cent during February, OF
that they will fall from about 100000
bushels to not more than 100000
bushels by March l. At the present
time stocks in Minneapolis are going
down in the face of the small output.

Ex-Rev. c. B. Reynolds delivered his
last lecture last night before small
audience at Plummer Post hall. The
subject of his harangue was Sunday
or Sabbath, which?' The argument
advanced was that the Sunday now OBJ
served was not the Sabbath which the
Bible directed to be kept holy.
That was the seventh day or
Saturday. The gentleman strongly
condemned Christians and Christ
ianity which advocated the Bible,
and yet did not follow its teach
ings. TO clinch his arguments he made
large offers of money for any one who
would take the Bible and disproye his
staten ents. There was gentleman
present who, after the meeting, made
arrangements for a debate between
Reynolds and minister of the Christa-
delphia order, to be held i'll Minneapo-
lis some time soon. 1t was. in fact, the
Offering of a challenge by the minister,
which was accepted by the ''eX-Rev."

The famous libel suit of Mrs. Carrie

secure $4,000 which was to have been

request of Mr.. and Mrs. AL
len, who desired to avoid as
much as possible publicity in the mat
ter. The article upon which the COM
plant was based was printed in the
Pioneer Press Sept. 81, 1887, and said
that Mrs. Allen had been found at the
Grand opera house with a we'll known
man by her husband, and that stormy
scene had followed. AS Mrs. Allen was
not at that theater at all on the evening
in question. she was naturally some
what indignant, and when the Press re-
fused to make proper retraction, suit
for $25, 600 was begun.
