The jury retires and brings in verdict
to the effect that the man was killed at
railroad crossing and that no blame
could attach to any one. What farcel
What were the facts? The man was
returning home after hard days work,
with his empty dinner pail swinging
across his arm. Though tired and
weary, he hravely faced the winter
storm, buoyed up by the thought of
home, a wife's greeting and the joyous
welcome of the little ones. The snow
blows against his face, but he heeds it
not. He approaches the tracks, dark
sOmber, save where the dull red glare
of switch light CLEANS through the
storm. The two arms Of the safety gate
stand erect, without a lamp to warn
the passer-by. The crippled flag
man has gone home. Long rows of
parallel cars back up to the crossing. A
passenger train is coming down track
just beyond one of these long rows of
cars, SO swiftly and nOiseIessly that lit
tie warning is given. A wild cry, a
momentary sense of danger, desperate
plunge for safety, and all is over. The
following day the clerk in the coroner's
Office makes an entry under the head of

why PaC LInlnSer is Not q Men,
Der of Company III.
P. FL. Lininger, of $40 Fuller street,
has no use for the state militia. Pat
was formerly member of Company II,
First regiment, and has his discharge:
but it is fair to presume he will never
again wear the blue of the national
guard. He says he has just returned
from Dakota and has not had time,
heretofore, to give his experience, so he
gives it now. When the company went
into encampment in July he was in the
employ of the street car company and
received leave of absence for two days
only. He said he so told his captain
aud first lieutenant, and from them re-
ceived the promise that he should re-
ceive transportation home at the expira-
ton of the second dav. He went to
camp, but when the time arrived his
captain had left the camp and he was
referred to Col. Bend. The naughty
colonel received HIM coldly, and, with
out giving him transportation, ordered
his discharge FROM the service and gave
him pass through the lines. Lininger
tells blood-"urdling tale of how he
started, with 20 cents in his pocket, and
made his way through to st. Paul on
freight trains. being kicked off several
times, and finally chased out by a po-
liceman, when st. Paul was reached.

Captain W. W. Braden. of the state
auditors department. will retain his
position until after the election, when
his resignation will go into effect. 1t is
probable that the candidate-elect for
the state authorship will then be APP
pointed to take hold of the office. SO that
he will be enabled to gain some insight
into the working of the office before his
term begins. Capt. Braden goes to the
Great Northern, and circular notify
ing his appointment may be looked for
about the 1st proX.
Is it not singular, when an investiga-
tion of an insurance society is ordered
under the state laws, the department
presided over by the state insurance
commissioner has to employ an actuary
from the state of Missouri? What is
the state Insurance commissioner or his
deputy for? Does their duty consist
merely of certifying companies and
compiling an annual report? a work
which an ordinary everyday clerk
could prepare. surely. With a business
administration and business governor.
it should be unnecessary to go to Mis-
souri, for man to investigate the
financial stability of an insurance So
eiety.
The lot OF candidate for office just
now is not a happy one. The lmpOr-
tuuingS which he is subjected to would
almost wear off the hind leg of a mule.
He is not merely subjected to the atten-
tionS of every ward heeler and bum,
but there is another set of callers-men
and women soliciting subscriptions for
religious and social organizations. a
candidate can rarely turn deaf ear to
their appeals. But it is astounding, the
nature of some of these appeals. Re-
Gently the representatives of a social
society were soliciting subscriptions to
purchase piano and flag. These in
dividualS allowed it to be inferred that
subscription had certain weight upon
the 100 or so members of the society.
Of course the candidates seized the bait
and planked down their subscriptions.
They felt very blue, however, when it
was aScertaincd that two sets of can
vasSers had solicited subscriptions from
both sets of candidates-RepuDlie and
Democrat.
Two years ago the harvest festival
services were never heard of. Now it
is the object of every church and mis-

thanks upon the ingatheriDg of the
harvest. The musical end of these Serv-

be an especially beautiful service to he

Festival OF Succoth Celebrated at
the Jewish Churches.
This is the season of the Jewish har-
vest festival. Succoth. Special services
were held last evening at 6 o'clock in
the synagogue of Mount Zion Congre-
gational church. at the corner of Tenth

L. Hess preached an excellent sermon
appropriate to the season. This church
has choir of the best voices in the
city. composed of Mrs. Ash, soprano;
Mr.. and Mrs. Colvill, bass and alto,
and Mr.. Swift, tenor. who added much
TO the service by their singing. This
festival lasts seven days, and in old
times the Israelites dwelt in tents dur
ing that period while celebrating the
festival Succoth The congregation
last evening was very large. Another
service will be held at $50 this morn
The regular service Will be held in the
synagogue Friday evening, and on Sat
urday morning. The last of the special
services of the festival will be held next
Sunday morning at o'clock.

Newman DebatePs.

The Newman Literary and Debating
society held an important meeting last
Thursday evening in their hall, corner
Fort and Sixth streets. The member
ship up to the present was confined to
to the Crusaders L. A. society. This
was serious impeachment to the success
of the literary society, and measures
were taken last Thursday to amend the
constitution by striking out the restrict
ing clause. Last season. even with a
necessarily small membership, the soci-
iety did good work, as was evidenced
by the closing meeting in Cretin hall.
Now that the obstacle in the way Of the
increase of membership has been re-
moved, it is safe to predict bright and
useful future for the Newman.

The Weird journey

HE W elrd Journey
of four and a half miles underground
was finished when the terminal cham
Der was reached. During the last half
of the journey the gates at the lake had
been opened, and a wall of water five
feet high followed the party mile and
half behind them. AS the grade of
the conduit is fifteen inches in 5000
feet, the water travelled at the same
rate as the men walked. but if any &C.
eldent had occurred at the receiving
chamber, it is doubtful if the GLOBE
representative would have been able to
tell any particulars of the journey. The
wafer at the receiving chamber looked
ually to the city. 1t was dark and dirty,
and contained slime and fungi which
had been swept Off the walls. The wa
ter was allowed to run through the con-
Quit until it was perfectly clear,
when the Sluice gates were
closed, and the pumps set to work at 8
In the afternoon. 1t was estimated that
25,0O0,0O0 gallons ran through the con-
duit and out at the waste Sluice houses
before the water was in fit state to
turn it into the pumping station for use.
This amount is equal to three days use
OF water in the city. After the rubber
DOOtS Hdu Deen removed the men
washed up and were RECALLED with lunch
i'll the boiler house. The work they had
done was most IabOrious, and they well
earned the days pay given them.
Lake VadnaiS. from which the water
is drawn, has an extent of 500 acres.
This is also fed from Pleasant lake.
which has an area of TOO acres. At
Baldwin's lake 1000, 900 gallons of water
are pumped daily into the lower lakes.
Five artesian wells at Lake VadnaiS
strike water at depth of 500 feet, and
supply 100000 gallons per day through
the conduit. The wells are at present
experimental, but the water is used. as
it is of good quality. The growth of the
city will necessjtate other sources Of
supply being tapped in few years.
as tie present chain of lakes will not
give an adequate supply, if the city con-
tInues to grow at the same ratio in the
next decade as it has done in the last.
Three new engines are about to be
placed in the pumping station, and the
valley close at hand has been suggested
for low pressure reservoir, with a
capacity of 100.000.0O0 gallons. Next
Sunday the hydrants in various parts OF
the city will be turned on for an hour to
flush all the mains and arteries. In two
weeks the reservoir will be emptied and
cleaned out early one morning.
