Something About the Man Con-
fined for Insanity. 9
William R. PEABODY, the man who
was placed in care of the police Satnr-
day, On account of insanity, has had
quite mournful history. he had
trouble with his wife in the East, and
came to Minneapolis in 1878. During
the past few years he has made bust
ness of cutting and hauling wood dur
ing the winter, and driving team In the
summer. He managed to save up a
little money. toward the fulfillment OF
his ambition, which was to have his son,
who is now married, come out mere
with his family and help him work
farm in which he is interested.
1t was during the past six months that
his mind showed signs Of weakening.
He recog nized the fact himself, but that
only made him the more anxious to nave
his son come to him. A short time ago,
it is claimed, he bought two gold
watches, worth SIS each, one for hlm-
self and one for his son. They were
stolen from him by some one, which so
incensed the old gentleman that he be-
came violent and began to attract the
attention of the neighbors. For few
weeks Peabody has been stopping with
his friend, o. Petit, 2727 Dupont av.-
enue. Petit noticed that he talked ana
acted in strange manner, and one Gay
Peabody calmly announced that ne was
Jesus Christ. 1t CHANGED that the man
who had stolen Peabedy's watches be-
longed to the TeutOnic race, land he MADE
the most violent threats against the
whole nationality, individually and col
lectively. Petit became alarmed at
this and had him taken in charge by the
police.

WALTER CLARK'S SCHEME.
Why He Gave Himself Up as a
Stealer ofHorsefiesh.

Walter Clark, the self-confesSed horse
thief, who walked into the Fifth pre-
cinct police station Sunday night, seems
not to have been much of horse thief
after all. The police looked into his
case yesterday morning, and found that
he was:ono thief, SO he was released.
Why a man would give himself up and
call himself criminal, without being a
criminal, is hard to explain, but Clarke
seems to have been working a scheme.
After examining him closely, the police
say this is what they found: Clark, who
is well known in Minneapolis, and two
other men owned a drove of horses at
Seven Point, Wis. They were buying
equines. Clark heard of man out in
the country who had horse to sell. so
he took one horse from the drove and
went out to buy another. His partners
seemed to have little faith in him, and,
not knowing where he had gone, sus-
pected him of having stolen the horse
which he rode. They had information
cards printed calling for his arrest.
Clark soon returned with two horses,
instead of one. He found what had
been done, secured one of the cards.
came to Minneapolis and gave himself
up as the man wanted for stealing
horse 1t is supposed that he Intended
to get himself arrested on the strength
OF the card and then prosecute his
quandom partners for false imprison-
ment, possibly getting Judgment for
damag es. If that was his scheme it
failed.

those officials visited their homes while

those officials visited their homes while
they were at their places of business,
but the desired information was Sc
cured from some member OF their
household. Then when the scare came
the business man remembered that he
had not been enumerated, and naturally
damned the enumeration as incompe-
tent. when single inquiry at home
would have perhaps saved him consid-
cradle profanity and the clerks in the
census Office unnecessary labor. But
the work done by the volunteer emu
merators is not without its good results.
Here and there the names of persons
who had not been enrolled were dis
covered, and the men were at once sent
out to verify them, and in this way
quite number of new names were Sc
cured. The business mems union yes
terday had number OF men going over
the districts with the enumerators to
the committee having the matter in
charge feel assured that by midnight
tomorrow everybody in Minneapolis
will be secured.
Many OF the enumerators feel bad
over the way in which they have been
treated, and they say the charge OF gen
eral incompetency is false. They claim
that they did their work in as thorough
manner as possible, and say that the
charges made against them were I'M
founded and the result of ignorance on
the part of the people who made them.
Probably the most indignant in the
corps was Mrs. Caroline Brown, who
had district in the Eleventh ward. At
the meeting of the council Friday night
Aid. Phillips declared that the female
enumerator in the Eleventh ward had
stopped in one house gossiping for an
hour and half, and said that this was
fair sample of the way in which the
work In his section of the city had been
performed. Mrs. Brown yesterday de-
clared the statement made by Aid.
Phillips was not true. She says she
had 1900 names in her district, and she
enumerated every one of them.
Charles w. johnson, who was super
visor of the Minneapolis census in 1880,
and who is now in Washington, was
interviewed by correspondent yester-
day, and expressed entire confidence in
Supervisor Davenport. He said he
could not see any cause for excitement
over the census, but some OF the people
who put the population too high were
bound to be disappointed. This applied
to all thriving and ambitious cities, and
is only repetition of the taking OF the
census in 1880, when conservative es-
innate placed the population at 10000,
when there were only $4,000 in the city.
Mr.. Johnson did not think the returns
would show a quarter of million peo-
pie, but if it reached 100000 day OF
thanksgiving should be appointed.

To Buy Bennett Seminary.

There is considerable talk at present
by those interested relative to the
affairs of Bennett seminary. Ever
since the resignation of DR.. Gregory
the former president, it has been
thought necessary to arrange for a

held by the board of trustees, which
consists of Rev. D. j. Burrell. Maj.
Heffelfinger, W. Fl. Dunwoodie, Capt.
Gilmore and a few other well-known
local Pres byterians. 1t is understood
that the board will sell the seminary if
satisfactory offer could be received.
1t is understood that the purchase is
contemplated by syndicate Of lady
professors, and that Capt. Gilmore has
gone to Chicago to arrange the matter.
The annual meeting of the trustees is
to be held this afternoon at Westmin-
ster church.

A NEW SUGAR TRUST.
The Retail Grocers Will Do Away
With Ruinous Competition.

With RuinOuS Competition.
The retail grocers' association held
meeting at 224 South Fifth street last
evening, and elected B. r. Balm presi-
dent, Joseph Menard vice president,
G. E. Haines secretary, and P. W..
Worth treasurer, TO serve for the ensu-
ing year. Secretary Haines stated the
meeting had been called to consider the
sugar question. 1t was we'll known to
all the grocers that sugar, owing to the
insane competition of the 400 grOcers in
Minneapolis, was sold at loss. While
it might be all right to sell it at
actual cost, there was no reason
why the grocer should lose money On
every pound he sold and j. L. ROdd.
who had given the subject considerable
attention, was called on for an eXplana-
ton of the situation. Mr.. Rodd said
that when 10 per cent was added to the
market price OF sugar the retailer just
got his money out of it and that was all.
In st. Paul the grocers had adopted the
card system and now they were working
in harmony and saving the money they
formerly lost. Every Monday morning
they received postal card from j. Z.
Wall, the secretary of the jObbers' asso-
citation, quoting the retail price of sugar,
and they knew just how many pounds
to sell for dollar. They had all agreed
to keep up the card rates and neither the
customer or the grocer mad any cause for
complaint. He had seen almost all OF
the retailers in Minneapolis, and as
they had agreed to stand by such sys-
tenn, if inaugurated, he thought 1t would
be good thing for Minneapolis. While
the meeting was unanimously in favor
of such system, the gentlemen present
were of the opinion that the prices
should be quoted by Minneapolis man,
and the officers were directed to select
a sugar broker to send out the quota
tions. In the meantime the secretary
will attend to the matter. The effect of
this agreement will be to take competi-
ton entirely away from sugar and to
make uniform price. The flour ques-
ton was brought up, but was laid over
until future meeting.

NO CAUSE FOR ALARM.
The Census of Minneapolis Will
Make a Good Showing.

The great big census scare which
struck Minneapolis something in the
same manner that a Kansas cyclone
sweeps down on a prairie village has
passed over, and the people are salts
fed that the city's population will not
fall very short of the estimate made be-
fore the enumerators commenced their
work. Of course, Supervisor Daven-
port will not say how many names he
has, because the law compels him to
keep silent on that subject, but he does
not appear worried as to the re-
suit. Neither do the members of the
Business Mems union, who have been
working like Trojans to see that none
of the inhabitants were omitted from
the official count. The work yesterday
was somewhat harder on the clerks in
the Office than on previous days. Thous
ands of names had been turned i'll by
the volunteer enumerators, but large
majority of these were duplicates and
had to be thrown out. Business men
turned in their names and those of
the members of their families. They
had not seen the enumerators because

THE SHOW GOES ON.
No One Seems to Know Anything
About the Comique.

The Theatre ComiQue was still rum
ming again last night in defiance of the
opinions expressed by city officials that
it's license expired some time ago and
contrary to the statement of an even
ing paper that it had been ordered
closed. Capt. Brown could not be found
last night. but his employees said that
they had heard of no order being given
for the closing of the house. They
would probably know something
about it had any such order been
issued by License Inspector Ray. A
peculiar state of affairs exists in the
police department as to the Comlques..
Supt. Bracket, when asked yesterday
if the Comique had been or would be
ordered closed. replied that he knew
nothing about it; that the matter was
in the hands of License Inspector Ray.
A query directed to Ray brought out
the same responsible didn't know any
thing about it, but supposed that the
house would close when the license ex-
pired or as soon as the council had acted
upon the matter. Inasmuch as the
council settled the license question last
Friday, MI. Rays answer is somewhat
obscure, ,.

stating that Durham is now married,
are denied, and the defendant claims
that the plaintiff has in no way been
injured or damaged by his actions.
Emma Schmidt will be remembered as
the young woman whom Officer Simon
McNulty found wandering about in al an
aimless way in the vicinity OF St. Bar
nabas' hospital, and who was taken

night at the central station. About a
week afterwards she appeared at Dur

Single Taxites Defended.

To the Editor of the Globe.
An item in this mornings GLOBE
does injustice to the single tax men of
this city by insinuating that they are
few in number and of little influence.
AS matter of fact the single tax men
OF this city outnumber any organized
club in it, and in ability, responsibility,
honesty of purpose and devotion to
principle, will compare favorably
with any body Of men in the state. The
Nationalist, party that is rapidly
coming to the front. are practically
single tax men. There is no good rea-
son why citizens favoring tax reform,
tariff reform. free ballot, municipal
control of all franchises, paying PUBLIC
officers fair wages for their services and
no more, full and fair caucuses, and
several other reforms, should not unite
in club for the dissemination of their
cherished principles.
