SHOT THROUGH THE BREAST.
Tragic End of j. L. Hager While
on a Cunning Trim

Tragic End of j. T. Hager While
on a Cunning Trip.
Jonathan III. Hager, son of F. d.
Hager, president of the Union Land
company. of st. Paul, met his death
while out hunting on Wednesday even
ing at Heron lake. A party, consisting
of Hager and the sons of Judge Elan
drau. d. w. Ingersoll and E. f. War
ner, came down on Wednesday morn
ing to Heron lake from Mile Lac, where
they had been camping. About 6 on
Wednesday evening Hager was in the
shallow water wading towards the
shore. The rest Of the party
were Oh the bank waiting
tor him, when he was seen
to lean over to the boat and reached for
his gun. evidently for the purpose of
taking shot at duck that was a short
distance away. At the same instant
that he reached for the gun it went off,
and the young men on the bank were
horrified to see Hager fall forward.
They rushed into the water only to find
that their companion had been shot
through the breast and killed instantly
by the premature discharge OF the gun.
The body was conveyed to the Lone
Tree house by his grief-Stricken COM
panions, and yesterday brought to st.
Paul over the Omaha road. The re-
mains are now at the residence of the
parents, on Virginia avenue, who are
distracted with grief at the untimely
end of their son. The young man was
eighteen years old, and was preparing
to enter Harvard university. The fu-

DR.. Fulton Tells of the Beneficent
Institutions Of the Old World.
DR.. John f. Fulton, the prominent
specialist, has returned from two
months trip to Europe. In speaking of
his travels to a GLOBE representative
yesterday, Dr.. Fulton said: my jour-
ney had threefold object. l went to
attend the great international congress
OF physicians at Berlin, where 1000
members of the medical profession were
present, before whom [ read number
OF papers. | also studied the working
of the hospitals in England and on the
continent, and especially the hospitals
where insane patients are treated. L
was requested to study the workings of
the insane hospitals by Gov. Merriam,
who is anxious that the hospitals of this
state may be placed upon the best
possible footing. l received while
abroad many courteSies from the
members of my profession, and es-
pecially from DR.. j. Critchett, the emf
nent oculiSI of London, and Sir Joseph
Lister, the great master of surgery, who
was the first to call the attention of the
medical world to the use of an4StheticS.
The hospitals of London and Glasgow
are magnificent institutions, and well
conducted, and think our great hoSpi-
tails in America compare very favorably
with them. was particularly impressed
with the system OF training colleges at

don, especially those Of st. Thomas
and Guys hospitals. The opthalmic
hospital at Moorfields, in London. is
one that particularly interested me, and
l have no hesitation in saying that it is
the finest Of its class in the world. AS
to the hospital accommodations in st.

the medical profession would wish them
to be; but l have no doubt but that, in
the course of few years, st. Paul will
have as fine hospitals as any city in the

FARMERS DOPROTEST
Against Flowery Crop Reports
Which Bear Prices.

Against Flowery Crop Reports
Which Bear Prices.
Prominent farmers and fair minded
business men of North Dakota think
that the reports of excellent crops in
the Northwest do an injustice to this
section of country by their tendency to
reduce the price of farm commodities.
There were several gentlemen
from Dakota at the Merchants
yesterday who talked in this
strain. They expressed the opinion
that such reports are being circulated
by board of trade men in the Twin Cit
les for the purpose of affecting the mar
ket. The say that, as a matter of fact,
the crops are not as good as reported,
and the effect of the statements has
been to force prices down already as
much as 10 cents per buShel for grain.
f.. ID. ChildS, of Polk county, said:
1t is a great mistake to state that there
are good crops in the Northwest. Through
out the Red river valley on the Minnesota
side the crop wall not average more than ten
bushels per acre. l was at the board of
trade this morning and / found that there
was determined effort to bear the prices.
Here is the basis of all this agitation that
leads to the Alliance movement. The far
mers want to receive fair prices for their
products, and give them that: they want no
more. A week ago December wheat was
selling at S1.U7 and to-day ii was run down
TO 1854 cents. l read i'll morning paper
to-day that crops were exceedingly heavy in
the Northwest. Wheat was turning out
twenty-five bushels to the acre. That is not
SO. There is not one field of any great ex-
tent that will yield that amount.
j. NJ. Wylie, of Drayton, in discussing
the matter. spoke as follows:
In Dakota there is not half a crop. In the
Red river valley there is q good yield. but
west OF this there is very little. AT Fargo
there is a light crop, but as you proceed
north 1t grows much better. At Grand Forks
the crops are fair, and the wheat grades No.
l northern The yield is from five to fifteen
and twenty bushels per acre. In Pembina
county the crops are the best in the state.
have an average of eighteen bushels of wheat
to the acre.

PHELPS GETS THE SALARY
And the Solid Thirty Make the
Best OF the Situation.

A morning paper yesterday made
labored attempt to disprove the GLOBES
exclusive story respecting Prof. Phelps
connection with the Manufacturers In
vestment society. 1t is said that Prof.
Phelps was never intended to be secre-
tary of this society. That may be true.
The thirty men who signed his salary
contract for three years never dreamt
of manufacturers investment society.
Prof. Phelps was engaged as secretary
for the Manufacturers Loan IL Invest
ment association. That association
came to premature end. and from its
ashes rose the Manufacturers Invest
ment society. The promoters of the
loan association attempted to unload
Prof. Phelps on the investment society.
But the officers would not have it; he
was too high-priced an official. The
men responsible for Prof. Phelps salary
naturally are trying to make the best of
bad job. Who would blame them?
But they only make their position more
ludicrous by attempting to have the
public believe that they are not disap-
pointed.

In Defense of the st. Paul Count
Attorney Baxter Says a Word.
Special Agent Wardle is not the man
to sit quietly by and allow disgruntled
outsiders to charge fraud to the st.
Paul recount. That is what certain
Minneapolitans have been doing, and
this is how Mr.. Wardle gets back at
them:
1.-THE count will be completed in a
few days. 1t is being kept open merely
for purposes of investigation. That
means not only that names are to be
added, but also that names improperly
counted shall be taken Off the schedules.
Ii L find single instance where
an enumerator has proved unfaithful. |
shall be the first one to report him to the
district attorney. l do not care a cent
which city has the greater population.
but do know that L propose to have a
count in st. Paul, that shall be above
suspicion. If any person wants to
make any complains, now is his oppor-
tunity to do it. There is a report that a
Minneapolis man got appointed On the
enumerating force for the purpose of
making mischief. i shall Investigate
this report. That is what I'm here for,
as well as to take the census, and I'ye
got time to do it,
Special United States Attorney BaX-
ter yesterday said he had not been
officially informed respecting any pros
ecutionS against st. Paul enumeraterS
i'll the first census. He knew nothing
about the matter. 1t was possible that
he might be instructed about the cases
at any time. AT present his only in
formation was the newspaper reports.

MUM AS A MARTYR.
The St. Paul Attorney in Con

Hit d. EaU1 Attorney IN Con-
tempt Of Judge OdeH's Court.
NJ. D. Mum, assistant county attor-
neY. and one of the special attorneys in
the census cases, is the latest victim of
United States Commissioner Odell's
wrath, Indignation or dignity-which-
ever the public desires to term it. 1t
matters but little which classification
is used, as the result is about
the same, to wit: warrant for
his arrest. Mr.. Mum went to Minneap5
Oils yesterday to appear before United
States District Judge Nelson as one of
Detective MaSon'S attorneys in the
habeas corpus cases. When Attorneys
Baxter, Lawler and other st. Paul Deo-
pie went TO the depot at Minneapolis
last evening to return home it
was remarked that Mr.. Mum was
still behind. After the train had
started from the depot these
gentlemen were told by gentleman CD
the train that Mr.. Mum had been ar
rested by deputy marshal. while on
his way to the depot, upon warrant
issued by Commissioner Odell, requir-
ing him to show cause why he should
not be punished for contempt. Itappears
that Odell had heard that Nh. Mum had
remarked to some one that OdelPS court
was not court of juStice-hence the
warrant and arrest. Mr.. Mum teie-
phOned to st. Paul for sureties to go on
bond for his appearance to answer the
charge. The bond was given and Mr..
Mum was discharged until to-day when
a hearing will be given.

POLITICAL GOSSIP.

1t begins to appear that the Demo-
cratic state convention Of next Tuesday
will be genuine old-tlme love feast,
and that forecast is subject of generel
alarm to the Republican leaders. While
every one of the factions which for
merly existed will be present, there are
no indications that there will be even
hot contest over any office. 1t see ms the
fact that the rank and file of the party are
imbued with the idea that there is a
splendid opportunity to carry the state
this fall and in the interest in making
this opportunity certainty, all past dis
agreements and factional differences
will be sunk. The coming campaign
will be repetition of that of 1886, with
out the unexpected calamity which oc-
Cured on the eve OF that memorable
contest.
