There is a roar like Niagara. The
smoke drives over us in pail like mid
night. The air seems to be one sheet
of fame. The wave has swept up on
the edge of the bare ground, and is
dividing to pass US by. We are in an
oven. The horses snort and cough and
plunge, the wolves howl and moan as
the heat and smoke becomes intOler-
able. Thus for five minutes. and then
relief comes. The fame has passed and
the smoke is driving away. In its path
is breeze, every Whit of which is an
elixir.
In ten minutes the grove is so clear of
smoke that we can see every foot OF
earth again. A queer sight it is. 1t has
been tile haven of refuge for snakes,
lizards, gophers, prairie dogs, rabbits,
coyotes, wolves, antelope, deer, buffalo,
horses and men-enmity, antipathy and
hunger, suppressed for the nonce that
all might live-that each might escape
the fiend in pursuit.
For half an hour nothing moves.
Then the mustang filings up his head,
blows the last of the smoke from his
nostrils, and starts off with flourish of
his heels. The buffalos go next, the
deer and the antelope follow, and i'll
five minutes we are left alone. For
fifty miles to the north, west and
south there is nothing but blacknesS-a
landscape of despair. Away to the east
the wall of fire is still moving on and
on, implacable. relentless, fiend whose
harvest is death, and whose trail is de-
struction and desolation.

The motor enterprise was Instituted
in 1871 by Col. William McCrory, who
had just come to the city. 1t was not
built until 1879, through the opposition
of property owners and the public.
That year it was finished only to Lake
Calhoun, but was extended to Harriet
the following summer. In 1881 it was
put through to Excelsior. Two years
| later this line was extended from Thirty
| first street to MiDnehaha Falls, and it
was then that the scheme was
born to build belt excursion
line from Minneapolis to Mime
| haha, across to the Minnetonka
| line. out to Excelsior and back via Cal

was realized. however, the completion
| of the standard gauge roads cut into the

1885, an advantageous offer was made

| hands of the builders. The road beyond
Harriet was abandoned and the right of
way beyond Minnetonka Mills trans
| ferred to the Manitoba road, so that the
"prettiest excursion line in the world'
was no more. Meanwhile there arose
a good deal of clamor against

the bonds of the road, it being deeply in
debt. and began foreclosure proceed

ctpted bond of $4,000, which was to
be forfeited if the use of steam was not
abandoned by May l, 1887, below Sixth
street. The company strung an electric
trolley, ami in February an electric
motor was tested and abandoned. The
Soda motor was also given a
trial, but the two or three
which the company had thrown
on its hands were remodeled for steam
use, and are running to this day. When
May came the trains stopped at Sixth
street. and pair OF stout mules super

days, however, as the press and public
made things SO warm for Mr.. Washburn
that he waived his rights under the
bond. Shortly after that the road was
leased to the Minneapolis Street Rail

time has been comparatively unevent-

THE NEW PASTOR.

Rev. George M. Stones First APP
pearance at the Central Baptist.
Rev. George NJ. Stone, the new man
from Hartford. Conn.,, who has been
called to be pastor of the Central Bap-
fist church, this city. spoke last evening
to large audience, who gave him the
closest attention. Before beginning the
sermon the reverend gentleman spoke
feelingly of his relations with
his old congregation and his
possible change of pastorates.
He said: "My former congregation has
been honored by my call to this pastor
ate. cannot but express my feeling OF
honor at receiving your suffrages first.

son is because l would follow such

shall there make my decision whether L

member of my former church would
hold it as an affection for me to leave
them. | ask you to pray for me, that l
may decide wisely"
The speaker took his text from Reve-
lations, XIV, 3, He said: The first
and last books of the Bible are most in
timately connected. The first deals
with the creation; the last rolls back
the veil from the future. just as there
are Businesses in this world that no man
has fathomed or explored, so there are
passages in this book that no man can
fathom. | wonder not that the eccentric
Randolph of Roanoke asked to be read
passages from Revelation when he was
at the point of death.
One lesson of the text is that ground
work of heaven is in the believers
soul. No man will 20 to heaven who
does not have heaven come to him.
Every church planted is colonization
of heaven. You will note that in Revela-
ton the whole system of heaven is
spoken OF as earthly. Our Lord spoke
of the Son of Man as in heaven.
There is great difference between
the small soul and the great royal soul.
am reminded of Paul and the thief on
the cross. Why, man who leaves this
world small-souled will be inferior 10
the large .souled man when he gets to
heaven. Apostle Paul says, "Be saved
with honor" The germ of heaven be-
gins with the believer here. Our Master
always saw double. In all that he looked
at he beheld the spiritual as we'll as the
physical And heaven is here in this
house to-night-it is in those seats.
Too many people are afraid of joy.
We would not have our children want
ing to go to the theater. andt TO be at the
card table, if we could only interest
them in Christian work and make them
happy in that.
There is the joy of discovery, and 1
want to say that l want to go to heaven
to study. Men think they have found
the limits of the universe, when 10! they
have only heard the Whisperings of its
laundering.
Then. summing it up, we have the
joy of deliverance, discovery. conquest
and rest.

THE COURT HOUSE.

T. B. Walker advocates the use of
Minnesota granite for the court house.
even if it costs 100000 more than Berea
stone; and Berea, if | remember rightly,
is his old home, and he commenced his
successful career by turning Berea
stones into bread for his family. Now
there is no need of going to Ohio for
stone when we have such stone as is
found at Kettle river, Mankat0, KaSota
and Duluth. The sentiment of the peo-
pie is ''agin" granite and any other un-
necessary expense in that court house.
Build Jail Of dull granite, but put up
other buildings of brighter, better and
cheaper stone. The citizens who insist
on the court house costing no more than
$1,500.G GOO, of course, must come to a
compromise with those who would see
it run up to five or six millions. Two
millions should do, and two millions and
a half should be the outside limit. in
GLIDING all the furniture and fixtures
Spectator.
A local mathematician figures out the
cost of the court house in this way:
:Assuming that the population of Hen
nepin county is 100000, a public build
ing costing S3,000,000 would represent
the sum of Sl5 for every soul concerned.
If one says that there are more than
that number, | answer with equal as
surance that the cost will as certainly
exceed that sum, and probably in great
er proportion. Such thing as this is
certainly not wise. To say that future
generations will pay for it is positively
monstrous. they will have enough to
pay for in obligations and blunders al
ready made. No one has the right to
assume that this city is growing so rap
idly iii wealth and numbers as to re-
Quire such palace" Some people want
fine public buildings, but when il comes
to paying for them they stop short.
Better remedy the evil now, if there is
any, than try to do SO when it is too
late.-IrISh Standard.
The erection OF the court house is
hardly question of cost. Hennepin
county is large. populous and wealthy,
and so is Minneapolis. Neither has
these advantages to the extent that
would justify extravaganza, but both
possess them to the extent that will
Justify the joint erection of building
that shall be not only adequate to the
needs of the people, but monument to
their prosperity. enterprise and growth.
The county and city can afford to join
hands and put up building that shall
be an ornament to the state and the
pride of every citizen. In fact. they
cannot afford to do less.-The Register

THE CARPENTERS PICNIC.
Addresses by S. M. Owen, John
TaY,h q Il RueH and OtherS

Addresses Dy >. M. owen, JOnn
Lamb, G. j. Buell. and Others.
Nearly 1000 people attended the an
nual picnic of the Carpenters and join
ers' association at Lake Park yester-
cav. Dancing and games. as usual,
were priminent feature, while speeches
by noted labor agitators attracted
considerable attention. John Lamb,
state statiSticSian, made very forclble
address, in which he pointed out some
of the expressions of the laboring
people, especially those known as
carpenters. The fact, he said, is that
more than half OF the wages of the
ioiners goes for rent and taxes, while
the poor carpenter and his family sur
vive on a mere bagatelle. Sidney M.
Owen, candidate for governor, spoke
briefly upon 6 political preju-
dices." He said that persons
inherited their politics the same
as they do their religion, and that
they voted from superstitious reverence
rather than from an intelligent idea of
the party issues. c. ]. Buell., the we'll
known advocate of the single tax theory,
spoke seriously upon the ''access of
natural opportunities; absolute freedom
to exchange the products of labor" and
the advantages of the single tax. Rev.
M. Muller,o of Plattsburg, N. Y, was the
last speaker. He touched upon the ne
cessity of organizing new political
party that would pledge itself to the re-
forms as demanded by the laboring
classes.
