CAPTAIN WOHLLEBEN ASSAULTED.
Although Badly Hurt He Lands His AS
snilnnt Behind the Bars.


saiIant Behind the lars.
Acting Captain Wohlleben of the Fifth
Precinct had an exciting experience with
roughs last night. The Union Circle was
holding picnic in the Atlantic Garden
at the foot of Noble street William En-
right and party of roughs stood on the
outside of the garden and annoyed those
who entered the grounds.
Captain Wohleben, who happened to
be in the vicinity in citizen clothes. went
quietly to Enright and his companions
and requested them to desist from their
ungentlemanly conduct Enrignt imme-
diately began to abuse the Captain and
endeavored to strike him, but Wohlle-
ben displayed his badge and plac-
ing Enright under arrest started
for the Danforth avenue station
with his prisoner. Two of Enright's
friends, who proposed to see him through
his little difficulty, followed the police
man. When the party reached Wohllen-
ben he brought his billy into requisition,
ana after knocking two of the roughs
over the head they beat Il hasty retreat.
The Captain had considerable trouble
in subdueing Enright. He closed in on the
policeman, and the two rolled over one
another in the middle of the street En-
right Inflicted large cash on the Cap
tain's head, big cut on his face, and
there is hole in the Captains ear. Cap
tain Wohleben finally subdued his man
and brought him to the station house.
There Enright gave 5000 bonds to appear
before Judge Warren tomorrow morn
ing.
Acting Captain Wohleben has been on
the force for fifteen years, and he said
last evening that he never would use his
pistol as long as he could double his
fists.
Although the Captain was badly shaken
mp he expects to be able to return to duty
today.

MORE ON THE COURT HOUSE.
Another WrestIe With 1t by the
Board of Trade.

The board CT trade yesterday morning
had another rough and tumble tussle
with the court house matter. To ex-
Gov. John S. Pillsbury had been dele
gated the task of disposing of the reso-
lutiODs censuring the court house COM
mission which had been laid before the
board. This was what Mr.. Pillsbury
read:
The committee on public affairs to
whom was referred the resolutions rela-
tive to the court house, respectfully re-
port the same back with the following
recommendation:
That committee consisting OF five
practical citizens be appointed who shall
make thorough inspection of the court
house plans and specifications, and of
the building, so far as the work OF con-
structlOn has progressed, with view OF
reducing the cost of said building so far
as possible to the sum authorized to be
expended for the completion of said
court house.
Resolved, That until such an investi-
CATION shall be had, and the report of
said committee made, we recommend
the work on said court house building
be suspended
Then he made few remarks outlining
his own position, stating that New York
and Connecticut are the only states
which have erected public buildings
costing more than 100000, and con-
Guiding with:
1.-The idea that the county of Hen
nepin needs court house and city hall
which costs more than the capitol build
ingS of the great states OF Ohio, Mich
igan or Georgia! 1t is not necessary for
the citizens of this county to be taxed
to such an extent. Our bonded debt
now amounts to S6,000000, and it we
add S4,000.000 to that amount we Will
have bonded debt of 100000. V1r-
ginia, Tennessee, Massachusetts and
Missouri the only states which
have such an enormous bonded debt.
over us the manufacturing Industries or
this section cannot be developed. A
building costing S1.5OO,OOO or 100000
will be good enough for Minneapolis
until the city has population of 1,000,-
900 people. Let us then put up a good
building of granite costing from $780,
600 to $4,000, OO0."
Judge Atwater Endorsed the resolu-
lions and Mr.. Pillsbury'S remarks with
the exception of the one favoring gran
tie. He then moved to amend the reso-
luton by having it referred to the COM
mittee on public affairs, which was &C
cordingly done. More desultory dis
cussion followed, during which it be-
came evident that j. M. Bartlett and an
active minority thought that if neces-
sary half of the building might be COM
pleted within the appropriation, while
the unfinished half could remain un-
completed for ten years if necessary.
Gov. j. S. Pillsbury declared that if the
court house commission had made any
contracts in excess of the appropriation.
they were worthless and could be can
celled. Without doing anything else
the board adjourned.

LOTS OF KICKING,
But the Public Must Still Endure
Overlooking Vaults.

There was a small meeting in the
Office of Health Officer Kilvington yes
terday morning, but it was lively one
for all that. The city scavengers had
come down to meet the head of the
health department and Aid. Sterling,
chairman of the committee on health
and hospitals, in order to see what the
city purposes doing on the garbage ques-
ton. The closing Of the dump has left
the ScavengerS in the same condition as
was certain Moor, made famous by
Shakespeare, at one period In his his
tory. They talked and talked, but moth
ing could be done. The district court
has said that the dump must be closed,
and what the district court says ''goes."
So the dump is as if it were Theoretically
sealed in glass case. Nothing can be
done until the council meets tonight,
and no one can tell at present just what
that ponderous body will do. Whatever
is decided upon will not relieve the city
Immediately. 1t takes time to prepare
a new system for the disposition of
the waste matter, refuse and filth
of a city like Minneapolis, but
no time has been granted by
the district court. so the public
must smile joyously and endure it.
Meanwhile this same public is indus
triously kicking because they are being
afflicted with the discomforts arising
from the accumulation of night soil,
cesspool sludge and filth. All day long
yesterday the employees of the health
department were busily engaged in the
receipt of protests, objections, even
large, leading. agile, powerful kicks.
But what can the department do? The
dump cannot be used; hence, no per-
mits for the cleaning of vaults and cess
pools can be issued. 1t is INSIDE
meanor to remove any of the accumula-
tons in such places without a permit
from the health department.; so those
receptacles must remain as they are,
or even in a worse condition, until the
health Office finds way out of its
present dilemma. This unfortunate
state of affairs is aggravated by the
prevalence of typhoid fever, which can
not fail to grow worse under the pres
emit condition of affairs. The public
may be assured, however, that the
health Office will do all in it's power to
alleviate the distress of the munich
pality. AS soon as the council acts ON
the matter, which will probably be to-
night, the health department will work
night and day to get into shape for the
disposal of accumulations of waste.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The popularity of the Wilbur opera
company in Minneapolis was well at
tested by the crowd in attendance at the
Harris last night. when that company
presented the charming opera 'Nanon."
The theater was filled from pit to dome,
and there were probably more paid adj
missions in the house than at any time
within the last year. OF the Wilbur
company extended criticism is I'M
necessary. With the exception of
Miss May Baxter the principals
were ali seen here last year,
and she is fully equal to the balance of
the company. Miss Susie Kirwin, as
Nanon," was as sprightly as ever and
sang charmingly. j. E. Comfy filled the
part of Marquis d'Aubigne acceptably.
Miss Baker both looked and sang the
part of Ninon de L'Enclos. W. FL.
Kohnle was sufficiently funny as
Marquis de Marsillac, and ]. F. Ryan
ably represented his nephew. The
other parts of the opera were we'll taken
care of, and the whole was hand
somely costumed and staged. The only
part of the presentation that could be
well dispensed with is the mandolin
guitar seXtette in the second act. 9th
erwise the whole performance was most
enjoyable. To-day at the matinee
"Three Black Cloaks" will be sung,
and 1.-The Beggar Student" at the even
ing performance.

PILLsBURY ON CROPS.
What the Energetic Charles Say
on His Return From Europe.

What the Energetic Charles Says
on His Return From Europe.
G. A. Pillsbury has returned from
Europe, and, of course, has something
to say about crops in and out of Europe,
and the markets of the world. This is
what he says:
"The French crop and the North Ger
man crop are considerably below an av-
erage, and have no doubt even with
good weather the English crop will be
poor. but with unfavOrable weather it
NAV he very bad. The Hungarian crop
is fine one and secured in good condi-
ton. The Russian crop is spotted,
above the average in some places and
below it in others, but probably as a
whole is an average crop. Reserves OF
the old crops in farmers hands all
through Europe were never so low as
at present. Taking all these things
into account see no reason why the
demand in Europe for American wheats
and hOurS should not be as good as
ever.
81 can't figure out how the United
States, east of the Rocky mountains,
has bushel of surplus wheat or bar
rel of surpl US -four to spare for Europe.
But Lne fdCluC COdSt uidy udFO dOOuG
it's usual surplus to spare for export, say
about equal to the equivalent of 100000
600 bushels of wheat. AS to the imme-
date future prices everything depends
upon the course which the farmers of
Minnesota and Dakota take. If they
market their grain as freely as usual,
don't look for any advance until after
the heavy movement is over. But if,
on the contrary, they pursue the same
course that the winter wheat farmers
are now pursuing, the market must
continue to advance.
But very few in Europe take any
stock in the shortage in winter and
spring wheat in this county. They are
hundreds of millions of bushels short
sold, and if they actually believed in
the true situation they would be tum-
bling over each other to buy in their
short sales, and the advance would be
very rapid and violent. The short SELL
ing Of American breadstutfs in Eu-
rope has got to be regular epidemic.
Every one believes that all man has
got to do to make lot of money is to
sell them short. 1t is possible and
probable that this year may prove an
axcentiOn to the rule"

Working on the Bridges.

1t really does look as if the crossln G
case has been settled. Yesterday a
start was made on the work of bridging
the dangerous iron pathways of in
land commerce. The gates, designed
to prevent teams and pedestri ans from
mourning danger, have been removed,
and their places have been taken by
fiagmen, while men are also at work
laying rails on the side nearest the st.
Louis depot. To-day the Great North
ern will begin work upon bridging
Washington avenue. Traffic will be
confined to the west side of the avenue
until the other half of the bridge is
completed, when it will be transferred
to it while the remainder of the bridge
Is built. 1t will also be arranged so
that the traffic of the railroad will not
be interfered with. McMullIn & Nor
ris, who have the contract for the work,
state that the work will be pushed rap
Idly and completed this season.
