sticks of "squeal'' from the Min

falSehCods and all. with the labored in
productions: This from yesterdays
Tribune describes the situation exactly
as TO the Times, and we indorSe every
word of it," The squeal alluded to was
moan of anguish from the Tribune
because the GLOBE first published the
news of the prospective sale OF the ftar-
ris theater to the Grand Opera house
syndicate. The Tribune, with charac~
terlStic egotism, assumed that IL was
the first to hear of the deal, and says
that it suppressed publication of the
matter to oblige the Minnesota Loan and
Trust company, which owns the house.
1t further assumes that the GLOBE
got its information solely from Eugene
A. Merrill, president of the loan ana
trust company, when he called to ask
the suppression of the item. This state
ment is simply lie. Neither Mi. Mer-
rill nor any officer of the loan and trust
company ever mentioned the matter TO
the GLOBE representative, or furnished
any information whatsoever in refer

dorSement of a false statement and
bit of egregiouS self-puffery on the part
of the Tribune therefore falls rather
fiat. Still, it is perhaps on a par with
other Endorsements of the Times.
The GLOBE is aware that "shop talk'
is not of interest to the public, but as
several chunks of abuse have been
hurled at it during the week concerning
the matter, this much, by way OF eX-
PLANTATION, is perhaps eXcusable. Inc
GLOBE is not owned by or edited by any
loan and trust company, and Will GER
tainly 90 as far as any of its contem-
pOraries in avoiding suppression OF
legitimate news, and hopes that the
Tribune and other papers hereafter will
not be so accommodating as before: also
that the Tribune will adhere to its as
surance not to suppress any news here
after with greater fidelity than is prom
ised, from the fact that in the very
same issue in which the TRADE about
the suppression of news, and its pledge
to do better in the future appeared. an
important feature of divorce case was
suppressed simply to please all adyer-
tiSer.

ABOUT THE COURT HOUSE.
Deputy Sheriff George Baxter, of the
court house, had weird and exceeding
ly adventurous chase after a man by the
name of John f. Walbe, in Pine county,
in the wilds of the Oak Lake district, in
the northern part Of this state. The
man was arrested on the charge OF bas
tardy, committed with Anna Olson, OF
Minneapolis. He promised to wed the
girl upon his return.
Articles of incorporation were yester
ay afternoon filed for the Minneapolis
Cooperage company. The capital stock
of the company amounts to $4,000. The
incorporates are Charles II. MaXcy
Philip W.>Herzog and Charles II. Gill
