EMULATE LIBRARY BOARD.
The Board of Education Tries
Mandamus Proceedings.

A. c. Austin and Robert Pratt, of the
board of education, have begun man
damus proceedings against City Treas
urer KOrtgaard and City Comptroller
Armstrong to settle the much-mooted
bond interest question. The board
of education, OIL Nov. "a, 1891,
drew warrants in favor of Jan
ney Bros. and H. f. Brown
fOl amounts aggregating $1S5.22. On
Nov. q the payees presented the same
to the city comptroller and treasurer,
and they refused to pay, claiming they
had no money on hand belonging to the
board of education. 1t is claimed in
the petition they had $1,000 on hand
which they had wrOngfuIly applied to
the payment of Semi-annual interest
upon bonds OF the city and certain
school districts. The board of educa-
ton never authorized the application of
the funds in that manner, and writ of
mandamuS is asked to compel the comp
troller and treasurer to pay the order.
Judge Lochren yesterday morning
signed an alternative writ which gives
the city people the privilege of honor
ing the Issued orders or of showing
cause next Saturday why the orders
should not be hOnOred. The case is a
parallel one with that of the library
board brought last spring, in which
Judge LOchren found for the library.
However, in his decision he said moth
ing about the school and similar boards,
and it is to decide the question for the
school people once and for all that the
action is brought.

CONVENTION GOSSIP.
The Self-Constituted Committee
Has Been Looking Up the Hotels.

The SeIf-Constituted Committee
Has Been Looking Up the Hotels.
The committee that has charge of the
convention met at the West last evening
for few minutes and talked over
preparations. There was but little for
the committee to do. The hotel COM
mittee had been around to the public
hostelries and had a brief report to
make on what they found. They have
not gone into details yet. They are
satisfied from what they have learned of
the capacity of the city that Minneapolis
Will be able to take care of all the crowds
that may come. The committee will get
together again later in the week, in all
probability, and appoint several more
Subcommlttees. Last night they adj

Ing. The hotel committee is the one
that Will have the most work to do just
at present. They have already begun
TO sound the proprietors of the big
hotels on the accommodations that
they Will be able to furnish. The
big hotels will all arrange for outside
rooms. The West has already secured
the vacant rooms in the Lumber EX-
change and the Masonic Temple. The
NicOllet has rented the rooms in the
Boston block. No careful estimate of
the amount of room in the West has
been made as yet. 1t is informally
given out that the West will be able to
take care of at least 1900 guests,
and the NicOllet will handle about
half that number. The other ho-
tets will make up the balance.
1t is estimated that fully $4,000 people
will have to be provided for during the
convention. 1t has been decided to re-
serve the West, the Nicollet, the Holmes
and the Langham for the most impOr-
tant delegations. The Nicollet house
proprietOrs say that they are prepared
to take care of at least fifteen state del
egations. There will be S3S delegates

VESTS SUCCESSOR.
Gross Leads, but he May Not Be
Elected Today.

The board of corrections and charities
will meet again today. 1t is not impos-
sible that no successor to the late super
intendent will be selected. The cleo
ton of superintendent is due, but the
election may be put off. If the board
finds itself unable to agree on the first
ballot there will be no election. There
will be no wire-pulling in that dignfied
board. When the board has agreed on
man, or a majority has agreed, that
man will be named. There will be no
trading. The race seems to lie between
Matt Gross and Paul Schmedeman.
There is not the slightest doubt in the
wOrl1 that Gross has the lead. He may
not get it in the end, but he stands the
best chance. 1t is said that II. B. Mar
tin is pledged to Gross, and it is certain
that Gross has one other man. Those
who claim to know say that the mayor
is for Gross. That gives Gross the call.
All the other candidates claim to have
one or more men on the board.

BULLETS IN a BALLROOM.
A Kentucky Dance Winds Up in a
Fatal Free Fight.

Fatal Free Fight.
A quarrel at dance at Kilgore Ky, was
the cause of pitched battle in the ballroom,
which will result in the death of six men.
Others are hurt more or less seriously. The
men fatally wounded arc: Samuel Bunting,
Charles Bunting, Andy Howell. Sherman
Lucas, David Waugh and jeff Waugh.
A woman, one OF tie dancers, was tho
cause of the trouble. jeff Waugh and Sher-
man Lucas wanted her for a partner. Both
were drinking and each claimed her hand.
Finally jeff struck Sherman i'll the face. In
a minute shot was fired and a panic ell
sued, men, women and children rushing for
the passage to the open air.
The doorway became clogged with mass
Of humanity, whose only object was to escape
from the shower Of bullets being fired in the
hall. Tho first man to fall was Sherman
Lucas, miner. As soon as Lucas fell his
friends rallied tc his rescue and perfect
fusillade was tho result. Between ten
and twenty men were engaged on both sides,
and it is estimated that between fifty and
one hundred and fifty shots were fired. The
firing ceased only when ammunition was ex-
hausted. During thu fight the lights were
extinguished, which fact no doubt saved
many lives.
When the battle ended six men lay on saa
floor fatally wounded.

Wonderful Armless Men.

Bulwcr, in his "Artifcial Changeling, "
makes mention of one John Simons, q
native of Berkshire, England, born with;
out arms or hands, who could write with
his mouth, thread needle, tie knot
shuttle, cut and deal pack of cards, etc :
This wonderful parsonage was exhibited
in London in 1863. 4
Stowe gives an account of a Holland
er, born without arms, who, while on ex-
hibition in 1881, exhibited surprising
feats of activity, such as fourishing a
rapier, shooting an arrow at target, ETC.,
John Scar, Spaniard, ALSO born with
out arms, was exhibited in London dur
ing the reign of King William. he
could comb his hair, shave himself, fill a.
glass, thread q needle, embroider, write
six different styles of "handwriting,"
and play on several different kinds OF
musical instruments, with his feet and
toes. :.
But William Kingston, of Ditch-heat,
Somersetshire, England, was "the most
wonderful of all that wondrous crew."
Concerning him writer of the London
Chronicle sayo: Iput halt sheet Of pa-,
per, with pen and ink, on the floor be-:
fore him. He threw off his shoes as he
sat; took the inkstand in the toes of his
left foot (having been born without
arms), and held the pen in those of the
right. He then wrote three fine lines,
better than most can with the fingers.
He feeds himself, and can bring both
his meat or his broth to his mouth by
holding the fork or spoon in his toes.
He showed me how he shaves. y
He can dress and undress himself. he
is a farmer by occupation; milks his
cows with his toes, cuts his own hay and
binos up his bundles and carries it about
the field for his cattle. In saddling and
bridling his horse he does it with his
teeth. * He is so strong in his
teeth that he can lift ten pecks of beans
with them, and he can throw hammer
as far with his feet as most people can
with their hands. s.-!St. Louis Republic. 80

BUSINESS IN THE SOUTH.
Leading Baltimore Bankers Discuss
Southern Progress.

The Balt'mor Manufacturers Record
publishes interviews with leading Baltimore
bankers as to the effect on Southern securi.
ties OF the late financial crisis following the
failure of the Barings. and on the outlook
for Southern investments. Alexander
Brown says: "Our house some time age
curtaile its Western business and turned its
attention to the South as the larger and
more profitable field for investments. We
have not only invested in railroad securities,
but in many Others. and are perfectly salts.
fed with them. During the recent world
wide financial depression, Southern securi
ties felt the effect much less than those OF
other sections" John A. Hambleton & Co.,

millions of dollars in the South for their

CHRIST OUR KING.


It is natural and right that Christians
should dwell upon the atoning work of
Christ. His cross is the central object of all
history and hope. and both in doctrine and
in life the believer may well determine to
know nothing in comparison with Christ
and him crucitied." Yet no prominent
teaching of Scripture can safely be neglected,
and il is worth considering whether many Of
US do not lose much bv not recognizing more
fully the kingship of Christ: that he is En-
manuel as well as Jesus, our King as well as
our Saviour.
Certainly great prominence is given to this
truth IN the Bible. The very first prophecy
assures us that his power shall crush the SER
pent's head. lie was the King who led the
twelve tribes to victory and of whom David
and all his royal line were types, whom the
Psalmist eytollcd and cxhortcd all kings and
Judges to obey, and whom the prophets JOY
fully forctold as the Prince Of peace, whose
kingdom is an everlasting kingdom and
whose dominion endurcth throughout all
generations. When he bccimc incarnt:e
the wise neil worshippcd him as the King of
the Jews: as n King he exercised sovereign
control over winds and waves, diseases and
devils; rs King he entered Jerusalem in
triumph, claimed to be had over all things;
commissioned his disciples, and promised
them the kingdom. As X ng Of the Jews
PLATE crucified him, and as King be rose
leading captivity captive, and ascended to
heaven, where he is crowned with many
crowns king of kings and Lord Of lords.
1t is not without design that the Bible
from first to last is so full of the kingship of
Christ Its teaching should have its rightful
pace in our minds beside his atoning work
and its fitting and powerful influence on our
lives. Well may we worship Sovereign
every way so worthy to reign, delight to
enroll ourselves his loyal subjects, and make
our lives Weld the obedent service which he
challenges. Well may we cOnfidc in his
protection and bounty. be Jealous for his
honor and be assured that his Kingdom
shall ill the whole earth.

CURIOUS story OF spontaneous

A CURIOUS story OF spontaneous
hypnotism," as it is termed, comes from
Hancock, MINI. TheSausband Of Mrs.
Edward Day left the house one day
last October to go to the barn, and on his
return his wife shrieked and bade him
leave the room. He expostulated, but
she denied evor having seon him, insist,
ing that her namo was Margaret Hill
and that she lived in Philadelphia. All
efforts of friends and physicians to
convince her to the CONTRARY were un>
availing. Being asked her age she an,
sworsd, "Fifty-siz," though she is only
twcnty-four. She was sane on all other
subjects. Three weeks later she was
again in her normal mind. A week
sfterward she once more fancied her
self Margaret Bill, spinster, OF Phlla-
delphia.
