Ject OF interest to the visitors. Here
there are six corrugated steel boilers
with carrying capacity of ITO pounds
to the square inch, but which have
stood the test of 700 pounds. They were
built by Col. M. Glenn, of Min
Deapolis, and are said to be as
well constructed and adapted for
their purpose as any in the
world. The pumping station stands
near the center of eleven acres of land
which is owned by the city. The
grounds are naturally adapted for park
purposes, and it is proposed to utilize
the WorkhouSe labor for beautifying
what will no doubt become one OF the
most inviting spots in Minneapolis. As
Registrar Moody and Supervisor Nc
Connell, of the water department,
moved around the new pump house yes
terday and watched the great pumps at
work, they were as proud as boy with
his first pair of boots. Dr.. A. A. Ames,
who as mayor had signed the contract
with the Northingtons, was congratu-
lated by everybody, while the old water
board.was represented by Messrs. Mills,
Barrows, Phillips and Irwin, said moth

the invited guests, of whom there were
nearly 100, sat down to an ella borate ban

coffee was served speeches were made

A sAGACIoUs DOG.
Prince Albert Finds His Way

Prince Albert Finds His Way
Home From St. Cloud.
There are many queer tales told of the
sagacity of the Newfoundland dog, but
one that has recently come to light is
strange enough to put many of them in
the shade. George j. Reed, one of the
contractors for the stone work on the
court house, living at 10 Ninth
street north, had a valuable
Newfoundland dog, full brother
to the one owned by Thomas
Lowry. The dog had grown TO mann
moth proportions, and was worthy of
A short time before Thanksgiving day
Mr.. Reed had occasion to 60 to ST.
Cloud, and Prince Albert was taken
along. While there he got lost, and,
though he was searched for high and
low, no trace could be found of him, and
Mr.. Reed was obliged to come back to
Minneapolis leaving him behind.
Advertisements were put in the
newspapers and rewards offered,
but Prince Albert was irrevocably
lost. A few nights ago, while the fam
lily were gathered in the parlOr. low
whine was heard from without. and
finally black canine face was seen at
the window, the hose pressed against
the glass. The door was opened, and
in bounded Prince Albert with joyous
bark. He was thin, tired, hungry and
muddy, but he was welcomed home like
the prodigal son. How he managed to
find his way, whether he had beaten his
fare on the train or tramped it overland,
will forever remain mystery.

The Northern Pacific Right.

Judge Caldwell. of the federal circuit
court at Little Rock, Ark, in the case
of the Little Rock & Memphis VS.. the
Iron Mountain, made the following de-
cision: "a court of equity has no power,
either at common law or under the in
terstate commerce act, to compel COM
pany to enter into contract with an
other company for a joint through rat
ing of freight and passengers" This
ruling has attracted considerable inter-
est among railroad men in the North
west, and General Passenger Agent
Fee, of the Northern Pacific, yesterday
said: THAT case is identical with the
issue now at stake between the North
ern Pacific and the Union Pacific with
reference to Puget Sound business.
Judge Deadly has rendered temporary
decision in this case, compelling the
Northern Pacific to accept business.
The decision of Judge Caldwell estab-
fishes another of many similar pre-
cedents, which prove conclusively that
the Northern Pacific is clearly in the
right"

How to Make 1t Effective Dis
cussed at the First Free Baptist
Church.
The Christian Endeavor union of the
city of Minneapolis held its third quar-
terly meeting last night at the First
Free Baptist church, and chairs had to
be set in the aisles to accommodate the
audience present. The topic under dis
cussion was "How Can We Make
Christian Endeavor as Effective as Pos
sible?" and foru speakers on the
question were expected, but only three
appeared. The first branch of the
topic, "By Recognizing the Value and
Stringency of the Pledge" was ably
elucidated by E. B. McClannahan, pres
ident of the state union. He embel-
llshed and illustrated lis argument by
quotations from the Bible, and urged
all members of the society to be eager
to fulfill the VOW to the cause. Miss
Belle M. Palmer was expected to talk
about magnifying the duty of the look
out committee, but she failed to APP

Mimi, the new general secretary of

CHICAGO. H., March 25.-There was
less force to the wheat market to-day
and the range in the price of May up to
o'clock was limited to nc, between
5000 and Sl1sc, with the price the
greater part of the session back and
forth between s0%c and Sic. Outside
news was not very influential. and
pretty we'll divided between the bulls
and bears. Beerbohm made the in
crease oD ocean passage 664, 900 bu. The
pool for three days past received but
5000 quarters American wheat. The
United Kingdom imports for the week
were 100000 blu wheat. 276,OOO blu corn
and $4,000 bbls flour. The pool cables
were quiet for spot and easy tor futures.
New York cleared no wheat and 10000
bbls flour; Philadelphia, $4,000 blu
wheat; Baltimore. 81, 1000 bu wheat and
$4,000 bbls -four. Prices ruled as follows:
May, Sic. S171sc, SOs4c, SO5s@S1c, S05sc to
s01sc to S01ac at o'clock. July sold
at 79c to 1913 @7S5sc. The wheat market
closed weak, at the lowest prices of the
day. Hutchinson put lot of wheat and
the crowd generally having held on to
long wheat for bulge or corner or
something of the sort, let it go quite
freely. Receipts were 81 cars of wheat,
9S6 corn and III oats. Shipments were
$3.50 bu wheat; 194,257 blu corn and
164,S46 blu oats. Corn was quiet and
steady. The receipts were liberal and
included only 316 cars of the contract
grade, but the clearer weather gave
promise of bettea grading in the imme-
date future. The Weare commission
was the chief buyer and took consid-
cradle quantity of May at 1890. while
Harvey & Congdon were pretty liberal
sellers. Schwartz & Dupee bought mod
erately of July. Trading as whole was
light, however, and the market nearly
featureless. Oats were fairly active
14c higher for the deferred futures. Re-
ceipts Of hogs at the yards were less
than $1,000, while the estimate was 49,
900. The market was active, and all
parties bought at 5@l0c higher prices.
The effect was felt at the opening of the
provision market, when prices started
219c up for ribs, sc for lard and loo for
mess pork. The best prices of the day
were made the first half hour. After
the call all products sold off slowly to
the close, which was weak at about
bottom prices. May pork sold at $10.671a
off to S10.55. Lard sold at 1928 and off
to S6.171a. Ribs were about steady at
the close. Hutchinson sold May and
July lard all day, and also sold some
pork. Stever bought lard for Wright.
The market was not heavy one.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

KIRKWOOD VS.. GATES.
Their Case at Law Settled in the
Open Court.

Open Court.
The old case of Hugh W. Kirkwood
against George w. Gates, begun Nov.
&c, 1883, and which attracted good deal
of attention at one time, was settled
yesterday in open court. The action
was brought to recover $1,000, which
Kirkwood alleged Gates had embezZled
from him while acting as his book
keeper. Mr.. Gates always admitted
that there were mistakes in
his books amounting to about $3.50 and
had frequently offered to pay that sum
for settlement, but Kirkwood would
not accept. He made the same offer
yesterday. but Kirkwood demanded
$500. Mr.. Gates business demands his
attention in the East, and he said he
could not afford to lose the time to at
tend to this case here, as 1t could not be
finished just yet. so his attorneys agreed
to reduce their fees $3.50 and, on this
basis, it costing Gates but the original
offer of $3.50. the matter was settled,
Kirkwood getting 5000. Mr.. Gates was
once indicted, and tried on this charge,
but was acquitted.

Rates Are Too Low.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 25.-Commis-
sioners Morrison and Veasey, of the in
terstate commerce commission, held a
short session at the Palmer house to-
day. Officials of the Rock Island. the
Burlington and the Northwestern were
examined, and maintained that freight
rates on corn, grain and food products
between Chicago and Western points
were not exorbitant, but that owing to
competition and state legislation were
lower than they should be.
