NOBODY WAS HURT.
But the Court House Commission
Was Kicked PIentifulIy.

Yesterday was the kickers' field day IN
Minneapolis, and right well did they
take advantage of their opportunity.
They were present from all parts of the
city and in such numbers that the coun-
Gil chamber was completely filled.
There were lawyers. doctors, bust
ness men, politicians and even ministers
present. Before the meeting was
called to order they all talked and at
the same time frightened the other oc-
cupants of the building to such an eX-
tent that the telephone girls on the
floor above forgot to chew gum. just
as the tumult reached the point where
something had to break, either the vocal
cords of the kiekerS or the walls of the
for order and the fun began.
George A.. Bracket led off with a
smart tap on the phySiOgnomy of Sena-
torWashburn, but afterward patted the
senator on the back because he had
formerly said that he wanted to vote for
So, 100000 building. Then Mr.. Brack-
EFT made a few felnts at the Tribune
and followed them up with smash On
the jugular, thus:
Had the newspapers come forward
and done what they should have done,
we would not be put down as thieves
and robbers. They should have investi-
gated the matter. If my friend Bassett
or Judge Atwater or any other friend
wants to criticiSe me, that's all right.
but I'd stand here to defend myself
from the charges made by the Tribune
or any one else"
Judge Atwater then come to the CEN
ter smilingly and denied that any one
questioned the honesty of the board.
Mr.. Bracket called his attention to an
article in the Tribune and the Judge
confessed that he never read that paper.
He thought, further, that if the COM
mission claimed to have authority to
build a So 100000 it was a question
which the courts should settle. Com
missioner De Loittre said he. had no
apology to make to any one. The COM
mission had accepted plans which they
knew would entail the expenditure Of
more than s1,5OO.OOO, and they did it
advisedly. Judge Atwater then broke
in with:
1.-The fact is, the board knowingly
put in plans which would cost from
100000 to s6,OOO,OOO. These men
were sworn to do their duty, under the

THE WHEAT CROP.
1t Will Probably Exceed Ninety
Million Bushels This Year, 81

1t Will Probably Exceed Ninety
Million Bushels This Year. 5
Col. q. D. Rodgers has this to say in
the Market Record upon the wheat
crop:
There is one complaint from the
wheat fields in the Northwest that is
universal. 1t is that the tops of the
heads have not filled. That will be
found on threShing to mean smaller
yield than would be commonly esti-
mated, and local estimates are, from
that alone, likely to be cut down. SUI
perficial examination of wheat fields do
not usually take into account the extent
of such injuries. People are very liable
to be misled this year by taking the APP
pearance OF the field last year, and the
returns they made, for a standard to
so, the tendency would be to
overestimate the probable yield.
The stand of straw averages much bet
ter. and as the straw is what many peo-
pie go by in estimating, the threshing
will likely disappoint them. The whole
Red river country is estimated by some
to yield Is to Is bushels, by others 10 to
Is bushels. West of that it is figured at
to 10 bushels for on average by differ
ent judges. There is much wheat that
has large yield and small yield in
the same territory.
The Chicago & Northwestern railroad
people estimate that they will haul more
wheat on that line than they have ever
hauled from any crop. The Milwaukee
people expect to move more than last
year, the st. Louis as much. the North
ern Pacific and the Manitoba also talk
more, while the $500" figures not much
different from last year. The roads
mentioned handle about SO per cent of
the crop of the Northwest. They have all
had experts looking up the situation. If
they are not mistaken, there will still
99,O0O,O00 bushels. There is in their
case danger that too fine coloring has
been given fol reasons stated. The
yield of the last crop was little below
IS, 100000 bushels, and it was not an eX-
traOrdinary crop, excepting iii Mime
sofa. One trouble in estimating wheat
in the Northwest has been that the
acreage has increased faster than the
figures noted it. Another trouble is
that there are too many people inter-
ested in speculative wheat to get at the
truth. The mass of testimony every
year since the Northwest has cut much
figure in markets has underStated the
production when it comes to figuring
the total yield. The natural result of it
has each year been surprise in how
we'll the wheat movement holds out at
the end.
The Great Northern road brought to
Minneapolis from the last crop 1885,
$50 bushels of wheat from Aug. to
July 81. The same company hauled to
Duluth and other places some 10000, 600
more. making movement for that road
of 100000 bushels. 1t figures now on
a movement of 35,0OO,0O0 bushels for
this crop. Allowing that the other
roads expect more than last year, it is
plain where the result of such expecta-
tions would put the total yield.

lct. make no charge of intentional
wrong, but do say that the most stu
penduOuS blunder in a business way
that has ever been made in Minneapolis
has been made in this case. The ques-
ton has been referred to COM
mittee of the board of trade, four
OF whom are lawyers, and this
committee says that the act of the board
was without authority under the law.
The credit of the city is at stake, gen.
tlemen. If this board goes in and makes.
these contracts beyond S1,500,000 it ex-
ceeds its authority and the contracts are
void. What we want now is to see the
best way out of the matter. Now, what
! say is this: First. let the board con-
fess great mistake; second, let the
board correct the mistake as well as it
can"
Commissioner Johnson gave all exl
hauStive account of the cost of like
buildings in other cities. Then E. H.
Boardman metapborically crowded the
commission into corner and mauled it
numerically, because of its reckless
methods of procedure. Maj. Barrett
j. G. Eliel, DR.. o. J. Evans, j. M.
Bartlett and others said that they
had no fault to find with the COM
mission, but they objected to
100000 court house. Commissions
De Laittre spoke of the vote to pay
Long & KEGS ~ per cent, and SAID the
laboring people were responsible, be-
cause they had elected Commissioners
Erickson and Swift. both of whom voted
for that. Swift said the architects would
not get cent more than they were en-
titled to. Architect Long was called
upon, and he declared that no more
granite, not even for one story,
should be used unless the
whole building were to be of granite.
Mr.. johnson read kilograms from all
over the country to prove that archi-
tects are usually paid per cent IN
such cases. DR.. Evans motion that
there be no more granite used was then
declared lost, and after vote of thanks
to the commissioners for the kicking
opportunity, the meeting closed. and
the court house matter was left just
where 1t was before.

WILL POUND ROCK.
Why Hegman Was Not Given
Ninety DAYS Instead of Thirty.

Ninety DAYS instead OF Inlrtys
Louis Hegman, the ex-census enumer-
ator and more recently the insulter of
ladies, was yesterday sentenced to pay
a fine of $50 or spend thirty days in the
workhOuse. Force of circumstances
compelled him to choose the latter
course, and he will board with John
West for a month. Wednesday, when
Hegman pleaded for more time in order
to secure witnesses and prove his inno-
cence, Judge Emery intimated that in
the event of his failure to do
so he would be sent to the rock
pile for ninety days. A curious story
was circulated yesterday as to the rea-
son why that was not done. Certain
persons. it is said, warned Emery that
if Hegman were sent up for ninety
days the st. Paul citizens committee
would come up and pay his fine. and
that Hegman, in moment of thankful
ness for getting out of Jail for ninety
days, would turn states evidence on
the census question. Hegman is the
same man who some time ago preferred
charges against Sergeant Kirkham be-
cause the sergeant had talked rather
plainly to him.

A few days ago Ernest LararOn, at

Hoopes-Gorham cafe at 22O-222 Wash
ington avenue south. petitioned the dis
trict court for the appointment of re-

falling out between the present pro-
priet0rs. Yesterday Judge Young
made an order appointing Phillip M.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS,
But Some of 1t Is Not of the SOOth-
ing Order.

Gus Wing, one of the reporters of the
district court, and the efficient secretary
of the Jefferson club, is in trouble,
and all because of his love
for music. The other night
Gus went home and, not feeling sleepy,
thought he would drive dull care away
by making little music from his banjo.
He proceeded to make, and his neigh
Dor across the hall awoke. j. A. Barker
is his name, and he proved hls
title to the name of Barker by
vigorously Directing to the kind
of music which Gus seemed to enjoy.
Gus defended his right to WOO the di-
vine muse in spite of objections, and
continued to play. Yesterday he was
arrested Oh complaint sworn out by
Barker on the ground that whenever
Gus tries to exercise his mu-
steal ability the result Is a
breach of the peace. The trial
will occur to-day. and in order that the
judge may not ask Gus to play in court
as evidence that it is not breaking the
peace, the court officers will this morn
ing apply for all injunction to restrain
Emery from doing anything of the sort.

Peter Farrell and John Miller were
the names given by two men in the
municipal court yesterday, who had
been arrested for vagrancy by Inspec-

the men were really "crooks" of the
class known as confidence men. There
was no evidence against Farrell, who
claimed to be a sailor, and he was al

A Man Who Said He Must Get
Good Heating Apparatus.

Peter John recently made up his mind
to build store and fiat in st. Paul, and
for it he desired the best and cheapest
mode of heating. After investigating
for some time he came to the conclusion
that the Page heater and Joy radiator,
now being used extensively in the
Northwest, were the best to put in the
building and he at once ordered the
same from w. F. Porter & Co., 21O

The beautiful system of economy
which the Republicans nave loaded up
bn the city of Minneapolis under the
unique role of retrenchment and re-
form, has borne fruit in the shape of

when instructed that the cost should
not exceed Sl,5O0,0OO, and license in

anything can, or rather will, be done to
