PRANK OF PARROT.
The Union Depot Upset With Elk.
citement Over a Murder.

The Union Depot Upset With Ex-
element Over a Murder.
Look out, he's crazy!" yelled some
body in the union depot yesterday after
noon. Everyone started, and rapid
chances were cast in every direction
for the crazy man.
Hes got knife" yelled the voice
again, and the mothers in the ladies'
waiting room drew their little ones
closer to them, and prepared for the
worst.
There was silence for few moments,
and things had begun to quiet down
little. when the same voice rang in ter
rified accents through the building
murder! murder! pull him Off" and
then came string OF profanity that
would have done credit to all Austral-
ian bullock driver. The excitement
was renewed in an instant. Men
chased in every direction looking for
the actors in the tragedy. and the
police officer on duty pulled his
baton with the determination to do Or
die for the honor of the force. One eX-
cited individual ran for the officer OIL
the beat, and through it all the voice re-
iterated in tones growing fainter and
fainter was murder. murder; help"
Just as the excitement was at its height
and elderly gentleman entered the
front door and looked in surprise at the
anxious faces he saw about him. Again
came the voice in tone of exhaustion,
murder, help, murder" The elderly
gentleman ran as hard as he could to
the stair case, mounted the steps three
at time, and in moment stood waiv-
ing big bird cage over the balcony.
"There is nothing the matter" he
said, sits my parrot. confound him, l
forgot to tie his BILL"
Men looked at one another in dis
gust, and then sneaked away to the
most secluded seat they could find.
The ladies sighed in a relieved manner.
and the police officer who had evinced
a strong desire to club the parrot re-
sumed his beat, and isn't saying word
about the occurrence.

PORK WAS TOO LOW.
A Local Packers Reason Why i;
Panic Was Ayerted.

A Local Packers Reason Why
Panic Was Averted.
Nearly every buyer of provisions
evinces lively interest in the CONNER
cial storms that have their effect upon
the prices of commodities in household
use. The failure of Sawyer, Wallace 81
Co., the old and heretofore supposed
wealthy provision concern of New
York. called forth many comments here
yesterday in mercantile circles. among
which the following from one of the
South st. Paul packers is interesting
He said: But for the low prices of
pork, their failure might have precipi-
tated a PANE in Eastern produce mar
ketS. for the firm was carrying the
bulk OF the barreled pork of this coun-
try. AS it was. prices dropped this
morning tn cents per barrel be-,
low thursdays closing ggureS and
recovered 20 cents per barrel.
Had the market been up few dollars
per barrel more the crash would have
been felt far harder by the speculative
or option trade, and many, instead of a
few.wOuld have been swept out of bust
ness. AS present prices are close to
the cost of production. it was not easy
for the market to drop much more than
it did, and you will notice that. while
the price of hogs dropped about 10 cents
per 100 pounds at South st. Paul, the
packers had confidence enough in the
market to not insist upon a further de-
cline, co-equal with that i'll hogs and
pork at other markets. They bought all
the packing stock that was offered at
comparatively small reduction from
Thursdays figures"

MUSIC FOR THE MILLION.
The New Plan for Weekly Con-
certS Approaches Fruition,

=
Since the announcement of series of
weekly concerts to be given by the
DAM orchestra at the Peoples church
during the fall and winter, it has been
found to be the general opinion that a
more varied series would meet with
greater favor. A change has, there
fore, been decided upon. It is still the
intention to give the concerts every
Saturday night, running through the
season, but to alternate the Danz con-
certs with mixed programmes of vocal
and instrumental numbers, which shall
be OF an equal standard of excellence.
The management hopes to be able to fix
the prices of single seats at but 25, so
and 70 cents, so as to place the concerts
within the reach of all the people. But,
to enable them to do this, they expect to
cover the major portion of the prospective
expenses by the sale of subscription
tickets, which are themselves to be Of
fered on a most liberal basis-twenty-
five seats for but $40, which is only 40
cents each. These subscription tickets
are so arranged by means of coupons,
that the holder may obtain from one to
twenty-five seats for any single concert
during the course, simply exchanging
each time, .aS many coupons as he
wishes reserved seats. This plan thus
admits of the greatest latitude. A sub
scriber need not hear every concert, as
is usually the case, in order to get his
moneys worth, but can attend such as
he may specially wish to hear from
time to time, and he can go himself or
take several friends as he may choose.
Negotiations are now being conducted
With several tirSt-claSs Eastern COM
panleS for this series of concerts. 1t
may be necessary to raise the prices OF
single seats for some entertainments.
but as before stated, the course tickets
will be good to any concert notwith-
standing. A subscription list has
been circulated, and the names of
a number of the most prominent
people in musical and social circles have
readily been obtained. Il has now been
decided, however, to give the public the
advantages of these subscription tickets
as well, and lists have been left for that
purpose at the following places: w. j.
Dyer IL Bro, i4S-150 East Third street;
st. Paul Book and Stationery company,
127 East Third street; r. c. Munger,
LOT East Third street; Whitney's music
store, 81 East Third street: Nathan Ford
Music company, 90 East Third street;
e. IL. Martins music store, Is East Third
street; Hainerts drug store, corner
Western and Selby avenues; Musseter'S
drug store, corner Fourth and Wabasha;
Wilkes drug store, Seven corners; AL
lens drug store, Seventh and Jackson,
and the news stand in the Pioneer Press
building. AS but limited number OF
these tickets will be issued. those who
wish to obtain them should not fail to
sign one of the lists at once. Special
attention is called to the fact that if de-
sired, two or more persons may join in
the purchase of one OF these tickets and
use it together.

A CUR UNCoNQUERED.
The Dog Catcher Meets Defeat on
Rice Street.

Rice Street.
''Take that We murtherin blaekguard,
was an exclamation that burst upon the
ears of residents along Rice street yes
terday afternoon. Dogs were yelping
in dismal chorus, but the steHtorian
tones of Mrs. O'Ratferty sounded high
above the prevailing din.
''An its Micky 0'Rafferty's dog yer
are afther swipin' wild yer dhirty hook?
Shure its shwate tonne yell have in
the thakin' av him."
Mrs. O'Rafferty was having trouble
with the dog catcher, and emphasizing
her remarks with mop stick. She
weighs about $50 pounds, and as she
stood there in the attitude of Ajax defy
ing the lightning, the NANCY cur that
was the cause OF all the trouble covered
behind her ample skirts.
The dog man was game, and made one
more determined effort to hook the
canine from behind the bulwark of stall
wart femininity. Then there was
trouble.
''Git out o. that, We blackhearted thafe
ay the wurruld," shrieked the irate
lady. and as be saw the mop stick swing
ing threateningly, the dog catcher made
a break for his box and departed in
search of other ours to conquer.

BETTING A SURE THING.
A Man About Town Done Up by
His Friend.

-
There was merriment in police
circles the other night. The plain clothes
brigade stood around Dow Morrison's
buggy up OH Market street and laughed
so that you could hear them ten blocks.
Handsome Phil was in with the play,
too, and guffawed as loud as any
of them. In fact, they all seemed to
appreciate the joke, Morrison included,
though as the story proves he had the
least reason of any to feel gay over it.
A man whom the entire aggregation
knew had just died. and Morrison in
particular felt very bad about it. "Too
bad about Jacque," he said to one of
his friends of the force.
whats the matter with him?"
Queried the other.
Matter! Why, he's dead.
dead nothing; he isn't dead. Saw
MN myself fifteen minutes ago."
Morrison took the bait. and. as they
went into TWombley's place, his COM
panion whispered; Don't give the
snap away; those fellows think he's
dead, and, maybe, we can get bet out
of them"
loo bad that about Jacque." re-
marked the genial William, as he adj
Vanced towards his customers.
Whats bad Amt nothing the mat
ter with him." responded Dow. with the
air OF a man who knows all about it.
Why, he's dead, isn't he ."
''Dead nothing. You're dead"
'1'll bet $50 he's dead" said Twomb-
ley. hauling out a roll.
Hain't got but $50 with me, but I'll
bet that" said Morrison, and up went
the money.
Wen take the papers for it in the
morning." said Twombley. and Nor
rison said it was go. Then he and
his official friend separated, and Dow
went around telling people what a job
he had OH 1wombley. 1t wasn't long,
before he ran across somebody who had
seen the dead man and offered to bet
$4,000 to 81 that he was dead. Then
and then only did Morrison begin to
suspect the truth. He had been beau
tifully sold to the tune of S35. Its a
cold day when Morris on can't get back
though, and the other man is watching
his corners pretty closely.

"how much do you charge by the

Different prices" answered the Off
Ger, entering into the spirit of the
joke.
"Well," continued the spokesman,

bath. and send up some iced water"
Maybe you'd like to see the rooms
first?'' and the visitors thought they
would.
The lieutenant took them back and
flashed dark lantern into the recesses
of the dark cell. When he looked
around for his guests they were half
way to the door, walking on tip-toe.
Jailer O'Keefe says they went through
the outer Office on the dead run, with
their eyes bunged out in an alarming

NEARING THE END.

A Quiet Day at Census Head
quarters.
All was quiet yesterday at census
headquarters. Special Agent WardIe
spent the day at Minneapolis. having
been subpGnaed to appear before the
United States grand jury. The work of
investigating complaints is being prose-
cuted with vigor. If Mr.. Wardle de-
sired, by slight increase of his staff.
he could "clean up" the recount to-day.
The count will, however, remain open
until the 18th inst. Mr. Wardle's wish
is that every opportunity be afforded
the census committee to get reported all
names of absentee citizens, as well as
those missed by enumerators.

Vie, the young lady who is mixed up in
the Horton case, was taken at the home
of her brother at 2O9 Ninth street south,
Minneapolis, yesterday afternoon.
Neither County Attorney Egan or w.
w. Erwin, the attorneys who took her
story, would talk, and so the import of
her testimony is not known. She
said she had known Horton about
year. The fact that he had wife from
whom he was separated, but not di-
vorced, was also known to her. They
we've not engaged, but it was understood
that they were to be married later. Mr..
Van Vie, brother. said: 81 think the
lawyers will be disappointed in what
my sister can swear to. She does not
know anything that will connect Hor-
ten with the drowning. She is very
much worked up over the matter, but
she is entirely guiltless OF any wrong
intention, and, aside from the annoy
ance, she is disposed to make the best
of it,"
