The State Ownership of Railroads
Peoples Church I.yceum Dis
hscuss Corporations"
A large and cultured gathering at
tended the weekly meeting of the Peo-
pies church lyceum last evening. Mrs.
Curtiss was named on the programme to
open the exercises with solo, and she
did 1t so gracefully that an encore was
demanded. The paper for the dis
eusslon was read by w. Almont
Gates, and the subject was s'Cor-
porations." A short history of the
origin and growth of corporations
was given, and Mr.. Gates proceeded to
discuss railroads-theiro organization and
the fostering care taken of them by cor
poratiOnS. He took the position that
with private assistance only we would
not to-day haul i'll America half of the
entire mileage of the world. He argued
that state ownership of railroads had
not been successful in foreign countries
and could not be so in the United
States. The regulation of roads by
legislation had proved advantageous
to the public by reducing rates.
He spoke of railroad companies acquir-
ing extensive landed and mineral prop
erty to the detriment of the general
good, and proposed law restricting
railroad ownership of lands to the
actual needs of operating their lines.
In distinguishing between corporations
and monopolieS, he stated, incidentally.
that railroads restrained from acquiring
monopoly could never become pref
judicial to the country.
A general discussion followed. when
5. q. Pierce touched upon the benefi-
clal results to Minnesota by organiza-
ton of a railroad commission in 1879
and Judge Edgerton's efforts in perfect
ing its organization. J. II. Lowry en-
larged on the great civilizing and bene-
fetal effects of railroads. and other
speakers discussed the subject pro and
con in an interesting manner.

Her Wish Gratitied.

London Graphic.
you'd better not wish for the impos-
sible." said an Irish-tongued gentleman
to friend who, in fit of depression,
had wished she had died in her cradle.
You may get it," One might apply
the same structure to wishing for the
possible when its attainment would not
be altogether pleasant.
Last summer two ladies STAYING in
India drove in bullock tonga to see the
view from neighboring hill. The pros
pect of thick jungle, stretching away
for hundreds of miles, suggested the
idea of game, and one of them said:
"How l would like to see real, live
tiger just once in his native glen"
The sun was beginning to sink as
they started to drive homeward by an
unfrequented track cleared through the
jungle. Soon they came to an open
space, and there, ''aIl at once" writes
one of them. :'on looking up, saw what
| at first thought to be the stump of a
felled tree about thirty yards off the
roadway. As we drew little nearer ]
saw it was moving.
''Look!'' l said to my friend, tits a
panther!'
Fortunately, the bullocks did not
scent him. or they would have bolted
and probably upset the tonga, leaving
us at the tender mercy of the beast. AS
we were passing him he left the tree
under which he had been standing and
came toward US in crouching manner.
as if making ready for spring. We
tflen saw it was tiger. and very fine
one.
'.'To say that we were frightened
would not be wide of the mark, espe-
eially as as he moved parallel with us
for about twenty yards, keeping his eye
upon US the whole time, and looking as
if determined to have at least one of us
for meal. The driver whipped up his
bufloeks, we shouted, and one of us
opened and shut a white umbrella.
This apparently frightened the tiger,
which disappeared into bush."

Location in the Sanity City.
The expression sometimes made that
st. Paul is not progressing can always
be traced to the fossils who are not
posted upon the actual growth of the
city, or who are not aware that a large
number of the leading business men of
the city are actively at work outlining
plans to give information to the
numerous individuals and concerns
seeking information as to the
desirabiiity of establishing manufaet-
cries in the Northwest. If the croaker
could have looked in upon the executive
session of the Industrial union held last
night at the chamber of commerce he
would have opened his eyes wider than
he has since the great boom in this city
few years ago. The meeting was
attended by about 200 enthusiastic, care
full business men, and great interest was
manifested in outlining plan to con-
slider several hundred propositions laid
before the union from persons who are
expecting to establish varied industries
in st. Paul in the near future. The
union will meet next Monday night and
weekly thereafter, for the purpose of
dispatching the business that already
crowds it. 1t is within reason to say
that with the opening of spring the
Sanity City will put on cloak of
building boom that will sustain tine
previous reputation in that regard.

FRED FIGHTERS CLAIM
And Other Matters Discussed and
Decided Upon by County Com

County commissioners met in regular
monthly session yesterday at the court
house. The claim of ex-Sheriff Fred
Richter of s., 09s.62 for serving personal
tax warrants, came before the board upon
proposition to compromise for so per
cent. County Attorney Egan recon-
OFF so per cent and interest. The mat
ter was referred to special committee,
consisting of Commissioners Layallee,
Mitsch and Bohland.
The sheriff's report for January was
submitted, showing receipts, s., 1850;
disbursements, S2,672.25; balance,
S675.35. An order was drawn in favor
of the board of control for the county's

THE PASSING SHOW.

Hon. Halvor Stevenson, of Crook
ston, turned up yesterday and was
busily engaged at the state library lii
the afternoon. Mr.. Stevenson does
not seem to take his defeat for the dis
trict attorneyship at all to heart, and is
working away at his already large law
practice with more than his usual en-
ergy.
George H. REYNOLDS, d. L. Calhoun
and Dan ". Bruckart were trio OF ST.
Cloud lawyers at the Merchants yeSter-
day. All three are bright and brainy
attorneys, and it's safe to say there is
Minneapolis in the state that can trot
out three ADLER followers Of Blackstone.
Hon. J. Z. Boyd, of Omaha, who rep
resentS Nebraska on the Democratic
national committee, is i'll the city at
tending to a suit now being tried in the
federal court. Col. Boyd thinks Cleve-
land will be renominated, and that Ne
braska won't have any prohibition in
her territory for time, at least.
H. Higgs, the creamery package
manufacturer of Mankota, was at the
WINDSOR yesterday. MI. IiSSS HILL
ages the largest manufacturing plant in
his city and has been very successful.
W. 8. Mitchell, editor of the st. Cloud
JOurnal-PreSs. was registered at the
Merchants yesterday. Editor Mitchell
runs one of the best and most attractive
geographically papers in the state.
Prison Manager Edwin Dunn, of
EYOta, placed his autograph on the
Ryan register yesterday afternoon, and
will be in the capital city several days
attending to private business.
Ex-Gov. Miles c. Moore, of Washing
ton, is again at the Ryan on his way
home from New York. Gov. Moore
went east some weeks ago with Land
Commissioner Schulze, of the Northern
Pacific, and, while the ex-governor was
decidedly non-committal, it is safe to
say that the Northern Pacific has about
completed plans for extensive improve
ments at Tacoma.
Hon. Charles c. Wilson. the Roches-
ter attorney, was Ryan guest yester-
day. Mr.. Wilson is pushing several
important cases before the supreme
court.

Ole Olson at the Harris.


When that ill-conceived disturbance,
sole Olson," landed in st. Panl last
year and nearly made us tired at the
Newmarket, ''we' formed a syndicate
and denounced it as the creation of a
nightmare. But when "Ole Olson''
came upon US this year and opened its
novelty at the Harris last night all the
prejudice and all the distrust and
doubt with which the pablo
mind contemplated the performance
was dissipated after the first act. The
comedy is now upon good and inter
esting basis. and the plot is no more
like the hilarious farce of last season
than the most vague imagery might
place it. The entire play, from start to
finale, has been rewritten, the scenery
is different, and in the third act, pleas
ing and attractive, the principal charac-
ter, Ole OleSOn, has been Sheared of its
cruditieS, the support has been strength
ened, and, all in all, the "0le Olson
of to-day is beyond the sight of
the barn play which irritated our dis
gust last season. Gus j. Heege Dor
trays the awkward Scandinavian to per
lection, and his dialect is rich in the
spirit of that language and the manner
ism of that people. Miss Jennie Eddy,
a Minneapolis girl, is late acquisition.
Miss Eddy displayed her cleverness to
many audiences while she was with
Mrs. Knight, and now that "Ole Olson'
has cast lot with this charming little
s0ubrette, there may be much expected
of this pretty little girl of the Sawdust
City.
The gallery of the house was Yeri-
table sea of faces and the parquette and
circle were comfortably filled. The
four acts held the merriment of the
large audience to high pitch, and. if
the quaint humor and truth of sole
Olson's" character is not witnessed by
full houses, the cause can never he
placed upon the remodeled play. The
song which the ''colored gentleman
sings. during the closing scene, should
be eliminated from the play, as it Jars
the preceding sentiment of the act and
ends the entire play with an air of vul-
garity. This by way of honest criti-
ciSm.

Will Not Sign the Broadway
Bridge Contract,
Comptroller Roche declines to say
what his intentions are toward the
Broadway bridge contract. The con-
tract of Kirkland & Starkey for the SUBJ
structure has been signed by the mayor,
city clerk aud city attorney, but still
hangs in the hands of the comptroller.
Said Mr.. Roche, who is a law unto him
self, The contract is not signed yet"
'Will you sign it, Mr.. Roche?''
tt'Well, don't you know, can't say"
Have you examined the contract?"
Yves, have"
Then you must have an opinion
about it."
.'Well, don't you know, I can't say
anything about it until the council
meets"
ut is to be assumed, then, that you
will not affix your signature?''
You are not to assume anything.
Don't bet your money until you are
sure of getting chance of winning"
This was all the satisfaction that
could be gathered from Mr. Roche.
Rumor hath it. however, that when the
council meets tonight and the contract
of Kirkland q Starkey for the substitute
ture of the Broadway bridge is presented
it will be without the signature of
Comptroller John Roche.

TALKING OF TURKEY.
The Best Two-Legger, and Where
He Comes From.


Norwich Comm dispatch in Tribune.
The best two-legger to eat to-day is
The Rhode Island turkey. Just why or
wherefore Newport should breed the
best gobblers no one seems to know,
but such is the fact. and our Newport
dispatch asserts that over fifty we'll
known New York families remain there
for the simple qualification of eating
the Thanksgiving turkey on his native
heath.-New \ ork Herald.
One of the most interesting features
of the turkey business is the way the
turkeys are put On the market. The
farmer is blessed with one article which
he does not have to cart a dozen or more
miles to town and hawk around from
door to door. All that he has to do is to
stand at his front gate and wait until q
collector comes bustling along the high
way in big wagon. These collectors
are city dealers brokers. They come
to this section year after year and buy
thousands of pounds of turkeys every
season. They pay the farmer from Is
to 25 cents per pound. white Vermont
bird can be bought for the former price
at retail. The farmers know the value
and quality of their turkeys; so do the
collectors, and they are willing to pay
we'll for the Connectieut-reared birds.

In the Winter

Rheumatism is most prevalent because ex-
posure TO the cold and wet drives the blood
from the surface of the body. and causes con-
gestion of the liver and kidneys. These Or
gans are thus unable to perform their func-
tons of eliminating the impurities and Tactic
acid, which are taken up by the blood and
deposited in the joints and tissues, resulting
in the pains and aches we call rheumatism.
Hoods Sarsaparilla has had great success in
curing this disease both chronic and inf1am-
matory. Acting promptly on the blood it
neutralizes the Tactic acid, expels all i'm
purities. and restores the liver and kidneys
TO natural action.
''My husband had infammatory rheuma-
tism two years and Hoods SarsapariIla
helped him more than anything else. am

WHO WAS AUTHORIZED?

Hotel Mems Convention.

William G. Heath'S assertion in Sun
days GLOBE to the effect that he was
authorized to issue a call for the Hotel
Mems convention at the West hotel,
Minneapolis, FEB. IL, is emphatically
disputed. 1t seems tn at d. E. Roselie,
of the Railway and Hotel News, was
the party authorized to send out the
notices, the call being signed by the
committee which met to arrange for
the meeting. The matter is of small
Importance, as both circ ulars cali the
meeting for the same place and date,
but it appears that the hotel men have
certain rights IN the premises which
should be recognized, and this explana-
ton is made in Justice to the committee.

SPILLIN0 MORE STEAM

The New York Stenm Conpnny'a Pipe at
Broadway and Pine Street BURSTS.
The New York Steam Company's pires broke
out in a new spot on Thursday night and
travel on Broadway was again seriously inter-
fered with all day yesterday. The spot this
time was near Pine street There was no ex-
plosion, but hot steam and vile gases poured
up in great volumes. The companys men tore
up the street and stopped the leak temporarily.
but it continued to belch steam all day yester-
day, and big hole In he middle of the street
was covered only with planks. SO that all teams
had to tuIn out. Lie in tho Zig Office built
inEs near was made miserable by the stenches
and ,stenm which tho wind spread over the

Steam has for several weeks been coming
out around a hydrant on the west side OF
broadway where the break occurred, evidently
from a leakage IN the pipe that burst on
Thursday night.
The reparing Of the last break in the pipes
in Fulton street kept that street torn uD all
day yesterday. All along Wall street hot steam
poured from every manhole all day. and the
new asphalt pavement was made soft as mush
by the subterranean heat The pavement is
rapidly being ruined by being cut up by truck
wheels and the calks on horseshoes.
