HUNTING SEASON HAS OPENED.

The Present Cold Spell Has Brought
With it the Entire Feathery
Tribe-Ducks, Geese, Etc,
Have Arrived on the
Gulf Coast in Count
less Numbers.
The present cold spell is very heart
lily welcomed by the large number
of sportsmen in this city, as 1T opens
up the hunting season in earnest
Advices from the coast say that
ducks, geese, ETC., ha We arrived by
the millions. more, in fact, than ever
seen at one time in the past, owing,
no doubt, to the lateness of the ar
rival of cold weather, which has
seem lngly brought the entire feathery
tribe from every hook and corner of
the country. For the information of
stran gers and others who are not
acquainted with the retreats Of our
game, we would say that il you desire
to hunt duck, geese, snipe or deer
90 either to Arkansas Harbor, Rock
port or Corpus Christi, all OF which
are on the coast and are reached by
the Arkansas Pass Railway. You
can get in the immediate vicirity-of
any of these places all the ducks,
ETC., your heart can desire. If you
are after larger game, such as deer,
bear, wild hog, or Mexican lion, you
can secure at any of these places
guides and conveyances. On inquir-
ing at the Arkansas Pass ticket office
in the Kampmann building yester-
day, we learned that the road had
placed on sale hunters tickets for
parties of three or more at the rate
of four cents mile for the round trip
to Arkansas Harbor, Rockport, Corpus
Christi and to Floresville, Marcellina
and Breckenridge, in the quail region.
By the way, if you delight in sport
with "Bob White" you should go
to these hunting fields. Our word
for it, no matter where you are from,
you have never seen quail so thick
and easily reached as at these places.

LIGHTNING TYPE-sETTING.
A Hot Contest Between Two Windy
City Swifts.

A Hot Contest Between Two windy
City Swifts.
From the Chicago Globe.
The type setting contest between
Peter Themes, of the Chicago Mail,
and Leo Monheimer, of the Chicago
Herald, was held in the composing
rooms of the Inland Printer Com
pany yesterday afternoon and was
won by Thines.
The size of the type was nompareil,
and was chosen by Monheimer, who
had that privilege as the challenged
party. The contest was governed by
the national rules for type-setting
IL O'Clock and the first stretch lasted
two hours. AT the end of the first
stretch Monheimer had set $40 ems
gross to Thiens' 1893 ems gross. At
the end Of the second stretch Mon
heimer had a string Of 1856 ems gross
to Themes Z ,305 ems gross. The net
score was as follows: Monheimer,
6.7S4 ems; Themes, 6,S37 ems. The
time taken up in correction was 1890
by Monheimer and 1915 by Themes,
The match was awarded to Themes.
who had beaten Monheimer by forty
seven ems net. The match was SO
close that the copy had to be revised
three times before result could be
obtained.
The men had a contest two years
ago, when Themes was badly beaten
by Monheimer. The stakes, $500 are
in the hands of the Inter-Ocean, and
Themes will find himself just that
much richer tomorrow morning when
he presents his order from the ref
cree. The referee was 0. q. Wood, of
the Inland Printer.
Peter Themes was born in Edin-
burg. Ind, and is 80 years old, and Is
known throughout the trade as an ex-
ceedingly fast and accurate workman.
The only public contest in which he
participate was that of Philadelphia,
when he set in 33 hours go, 322 ems,
and lost but 80 minutes in correcting
the entire amount. His best gross
score was 2212 ems in 10000; his
best net score was 2S43 IL ems in one
hour and a half. The most remark
able run he has ever made was
in the same contest, when he set
2734 ems in one hour and hall, with
only one turned letter. In this tour
nament he won the local champion
ship, and was presented with an
elegant gold medal in recognition of
his ability. He also carries an en-
graved silver stick, presented to him
by the employees of the Philadelphia
Times in reward for the splendid
work on that paper.
Leo Monheimer is native of Lam
caster, Mo-, is "a years of and has
been in Chicago several years. He
has never worked east of Cincinnati.
In private he has frequently set over
1000 ems per hour. The only public
record that he holds was made in the
Chicago tournament, when in one
hour and half he set 1900 ems gross
and 2522 ems net, and made total
set in twenty-one hours, of 35, 165 ems
gross, 33, 346 IL ems net. He is called
one of the fastest typos in the United
States, and his performance yester-
day was one which justifies this. rep
utation.

CONCLUTED ITS BUSINESS.

The eighteeth session of the Grand
Lodge Knights of Pythlas of Minnesota,
adjourned last evening after meeting
unprecedented or in fact unequaled in
pleasure and profit to members of the
Order. The royal manner in which our
people entertained their visitors was the
subject for common discussion among
the representatives, and the fattering
resolution passed by the grand body
previous to their adjournment, recogniz-
ing the hospitality and cordial reception
accorded them left no doubt as to the
appreciation of the visitor for the sue
cessful efforts of our citizens.
Many important measures of interest
to the Order were favorably acted upon,
and none more 80 than the recognition
of the good work done and being done
by the Uniform Rank. This branch
has brought into prominence the atten-
ton of the people to the principles
sought to be lnculcated by its teachings,
and has aided materially in attracting
many most worthy citizens to investi-
gate the merits of the order and to f.
nally seek admission to its portals. At

The reports of officers to the Grand
Lodge, Knights of Phytias, were made
today. They contain much valuable IN
formation, from which we Gull the fo,-
lowing points. Grier M. Orr, of ST..
Paul, Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals, reports that the Orders growth
continues with undated vigor and that
the future Is very bright. Eighteen new
Lodges have been added to the roster
and as many more can be secured the
coming year with but little effort. The
Order ID commanding much attention
throughout the state, and the best men
in this commonwealth are becoming
identified with it. The net increase for
the year ending June 9Oth, 1890, is 936,
an increase of 81. so per cent.

in political honesty, if not in every
other essential quality to make good
governor.
Doubtless Mr.. Wilson, while swinging
the circle during the campaign, claims
as he did while running for congress, in
Republican district that he is just as
good Republican as he even was. 1t
would be probably true if he does, for
honors and revenue have perhaps
been the highest principles and guild
ing star of his life. The dog and tail are In
accord with each other in their contempt
of faithful service to their cause ,andBuck
and Pope are to be congratulated on
their escape from parties incapable of
approaching party fidelity, which holds
treason above loyalty and reward
many years of service as corporation
attorney against them, and send faith

shades of private life, but such is the

Inc report OF the supreme hepreSen-
tatives, F. S. Mcdonald, of Minneapolis,
and DR.. Merry, of Saltwater, contains
the following interesting points:
The number of members in the Or
der December 81, 1889, was 263.S47. and
the number of subordinate lodges 1924,
being net gain during the calendar
year of 1922 members, and 431 lodges,
and gain during the past two years OF
81 1898 members and 700 lodges.
December 81, 1890, the aggregate
amount in the treasures of the Grand
Lodges was $115, 1852 O3, and in those OF
the subordinate lodges, $l,755, 203. The
amount paid for relief during the year
reached the magnificent total of $780,
1858, and for the two years, 81 ,491,
435. 46.
The financial condition of the Su-
preme Lodge continues to be most graf
flying. At the close of the fiscal year
there was in the hands of the Supreme
Master of Exchequer nearly $4,000,
which, together with the amount due
from Grand Lodges-about $4,000
and the value of the supplies on hand,
all of which have been paid for, about
Sc, 800, made the aggregate assets nearly
$4,000, with liabilities amounting to
less than $3.50.
In the report of H. M. Martin and
Jno. V. 1. Dodd, Grand Trustees, a
handsome compliment is paid Mr.. Orr,
Grand Keeper of Records and Seals.
He is entitled to much credit for the
painstaking labor which he has bestow-
ed upon his work. He is a genial and
accommodating gentleman and deserves
all the commentator which he has re-
ceived.
The Trustees find from careful ex-
animation Of the accounts of the Grand
Master of the ExcheAuer, that he had
on hand atthe beginning of the year the
sum of $S94,O9; that he has received
from the Grand Keeper of Records and
Seals during the past year the sum of
81, 26s.21, and from other sources not
heretofore reported (interest on loan of
G. L. funds) the sum of $1,000. He has
paid out upon proper warrants the sum
81, OBJ 80, and should haye on hand the
sum of 81 ,142.50.

CANDIDATE AND PLATFORM.

The Democrats on Tuesday, went
through the biennial performance of
nominating candidates for governor and
state officers. The Democrat party of
Minnesota never weary in the perform
ance of this periodical form. Itseems
to be a kind of holiday festival, or
amusement not to be neglected in OBJ
servance in their pilgrimage, through
their fruitless journey of life. The
gathering of the clans Fat stated periods
for q good old fashioned wrangle, to
wind up with the sacrifice of some faith
full, old servant of the party, for the
sake of honoring some greedy and un-
deserving schemer, is about the only
political escapade they have enjoyed in
Minnesota, for a generation back, and
it would be downright cruelty to grudge
the happiness they can get out oft.
They went through the performance on
Tuesday, with all the regularity of a
we'll regulated, Seth Thomas clock at
striking time, and selected for the sacri-
fetal altar one of the oldest, staunchest
and inmovable Democrats of Blue
Earth county, and kept up their old
practice, by bestowing first honor upon
a republican deserter and railroad at
torney, to head them on their next
two years pilgrimage.
Their platform is very much like all
it's predecessors, about the length of
one of Cleveland's messages, string of
bitter denunciations of Speaker Reed
and his rulings, Mckinley AM the
tariff bill, and everything they could
think of that the Republican party ever
done and some they never dreamed of
doing, whether pertinent to state
election or not. They were very anx-
ious for ball of free binding Irvine,
ignoring the fact that the senate has
already passed the act making this
article free. The ideas of the old found
ers of our government, that the first
duty of any good government was the
protection of all it's citizens, in every
just right, and every productive inter-
est against the ruinous or injurious COM
petition of foreign nations, is monstrous
in the estimation of these modern pill
grims, Their platform of denunciation,
for it is nothing more or less, extends
not only to the state, but to the general
and state governments alike. The
loudestand foulest charges of corruption
are abundant. (But they carefully omit
TO mention the large amounts of money
collected IN Sheffield and other large
manufacturing towns in England and
sent to this country to aid Cleveland in
his last free trade campaign, and are as
silent as the grave about the British
Golden Clubs free trade "stab" litera-
ture, consisting mainly of bold, brassy
assertions, which for months past has
been furnished the Democratic press
for publication in the western states)
That might not benefit them, were they
to mention it in their platform, and as
there is not original good hard sense
enough among the manipulators of the
Democratic party,to devise or formulate
a financial system that will bear q
moments comparison by intelligent
men with the Republican policy, Re-
publicans must kindly and patiently
permit them to enjov all the pleasure
they can possibly obtain in their
periodical denunciatory reunions.
