mule, n the landlord quietly re-
marked:
Yes, Ireckon the kurnel is cantank-
erOus, and all you'uns had better scat
ter"
l went across the street into a cooper
shop with one of the men, while all the
others except the landlord disappeared
into the house and made their escape
through the backyard. The colonel
presently arrived. He had lost his hat
and his long black hair was blowing
out behind his neck, while his flushed
face proved that he was on a big spree.
He drew rein with a loud yell, and,
before d~ismounting, fired a bullet into
the bar-rOOm door.
Good evening, kurnel, - saluted the
landlord. Powerful good weather
this is for craps"
Say, Ben, I've dun broke loose!'
exclaimed the colonel, as he fell off the
saddle in a heap and got up again.
"Well, l reckon it's bout time.
Sab, it's bin six months or mo- since
you'un come shootin' around here.
Whatu We hev, kurnel?"
"Whoop! l want to shoot somebody.
Pint me out somebody to shoot at"
wait, less see. Doan' pear to be
nobody round jist now. Thar's that
niger jackson way down thar by the
turn, but he'un amt with it. Wish
thar was somebody round the house,
kurnel, bnt everybody went off on the
kyars at fo' o'clock. Might go over
and shoot Tom Eckford in the store,
but Toms mighty pore meat. Might
be somebody in the second story; blaze
away an see"
The colonel fired two shots into a
second-story window, but nothing
came of it, and he whooped again and
shouted:
Say, Ben, l want a pop at yous!'
Not to-day, kurnel-nOt this eaven-
in. I'm allus willin' to obleege, but
the ole woman's gone and I'm runnin'
things alone. Did you'un meet Abe
BOtsford comm in?"
"No."
"Abe's down the road thar. lookin'
fur roots to make extract. He 'un's
bin hevin' chills all summer and wont
mind shootin'. Wish my niger Jim
was home, but he haint. Put a bullet
through that fur winder, kurnel.
wight be a niger up thar sum'ers.'
"Whoop." yelled the colonel as he
blazed away and danced around, but
the bullet didn't stir anybody up.
"Powerful hard, kurnel, to want to
body to be shot. Pears to me like
folks was gittin' mo- skeert han they
used to was. Thar's Joe HungerfOrd's
mewl tied down thar. Reckon Joe
left him thar to be shot at"
"WhOop WhOop." shouted the
colonel as he blazed away and wasted
the three other bullets in his pistol.
None of them went near enough to the
mule to wake him up, but as soon as
the last one was fired the landlord
picked the colonel up and slammed
him down in a hole just vacated by a
stray hog, and then a crowd suddenly
appeared anf helped him to tie the
prisoner hand and foot, The colonel
raved and kicked and cursed, but was
carried upstairs and tied on a bed and
soon fell asleep. Next morning l saw
a strange gentleman wandering around
on the veranda as he smoked his cigar.
He had such a dignifed, aristocratic
bearing that I asked the landlord who
he was.
"He'un. Why, that's the kurnel!
incest man in the whole world. If
he'd they happened to pop you'un over
when heUn was cantankerOus last
evenin' he'd bin arrangin' now to give
yOu'un the splendidest funeral ever
turned out in this country."-M Quad,

bench. He felt sorry for the woman,
but told her she ought to have been
born a loafer and then she'd have had
a good show.
We fell in with another young man
here. He was so anxious to greet us
that he left a seat he had been Occu-
plying night and day for three long
weeks, and forty-eight men jumped
for it with such enthusiasm that
forty-seven of them didn't get through
rolling on the grass for the next fiji
teen minutes. The young man took
us for his father and was bitterly dis
appointed to discover his mistake. He
was from CASTLE, but not in the habit
of using CASTLE soap. He had come
down to New York to carve out his
fortune, but the carving-knife had
struck a bone and wabbled and stopped.
That was his fifth day with nothing
more luscious and refreshing to eat
than an old umbrella he had found in
the bushes. l spoke to Med. about
giving the young man enough to sus-
tain him for three weeks longer, and
he spoke to a park policeman who
happened along. The officer didn't
want to appear as tender-heated as he
really was and SO he fourished his
club and shouted:
"You git or I'll give you the c~ollar!.'
I think the young man understood
him to say the cholera" for he
turned pale and fled. He "a headed
exactly right for CASTLE, and [ hope
he got home safe with his empty
stomach.
Then we went down to see the
ferocious wild beasts which can kill
the strongest man with one blow of
the paw. When we got to the lion
house we found still another artist.
Sunday is q good day for artists at the
Park, They can alwaysres their weary
backs by standing up. This artist was
not a callOw youth, sketching the
furious denizens Of the forest to illus
trate some schOOl-bOOk. He was sketch
ing to illustrate a plate matter article
to be used in 42S weekly papers in
Ohio and Indiana. His subject was
the Numidian lion, and before he had
his work half done | saw that nature
never intended him to work in a
Michigan logging camp at $50 per
month and found. Little by little the
lion unfolded, like a rosebud breaking
into bloom, and at last the sketch
stood forth with such seeming reality
that | could almost feel his fangs
tearing awry at my flesh. [ spoke
to Med. about it, and he spoke to a
woman whose age had increased to
ffty-fOur years while waiting for a
chance to sit down, and she replied:
"To the divil wild the artist, the lion
and everybody else, and if I iver come
up here again on Sunday may the sacred
kangaroo make me his Iuncheon.."
Med. was a little jealous of the
artist, [ think. He could have pointed
OUT 10 NM mere d req SUIlSeC anu q
tobaggon slide and a farmer sharpen
ing his scythe to cut the merry timothy
would have improved the picture so
per cent, but he wouldn't even look
at the young man. He said we'd
better go home if that was the way
the way the Park was run, and we
went, NJ. QUAD.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

A rare treat is in store for all lovers
of beautiful music at the Grand Opera
house the first half of the coming week,
when Miss Agnes Huntington will ap-
pear at the head of her own opera COM
pany of seventy people. Miss Hunting
ton possesses voice of rare excellence.
1t is as clear as a bell of great power,
and, although a cOntralto, the upper
register is equally as good as the lower.
She towers somewhat above the other
ladies in the company, but her graceful
figure and graceful movements fairly
faScinate one. Miss Huntington as
sumes the title role OF Paul
and although a masculine charac-
ter, it is said she assumes the role with
all the ease and grace imaginable, but
with so modest demeanOr that the
audience never for moment forget
that she is woman, and one rarely
gifted by nature. The company with
which Miss Huntington has surrounded
herself was carefully selected among
the leading opera singers in England,
and is in every respect tirst-class. The
scenery and costumes are said to be
very beautiful, and good aiI-round
entertainment will be given. Paul
Jones" was written by Planquette, the
composer of "Chimes of Normandy"
and other well known operas. and it is
said to be one of the best of his works.
This will be the only appearance of
Miss Huntington in Minneapolis for
some time to come, as she will occupy
her own theater in London next season.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday even
ings, and at the Saturday matinee, the

the gems OF Manager Conklin's collec-
ton this season. 1.-The Rivals" will be
presented on Thursday and Friday

LYCEUM THEATER.

Manager Lift announces for the fourth
week of his Lyceum management an
unusually strong attraction in the en-
gagement of the great emotional actress.
Cora Tanner, in her latest New York
success. enlitled.:''The Refugees Daugh-
ter" The play is romantic drama in four
acts, written by Martha Morton, and is
said to be unusually strong in its dra-
matte situations. Miss Tanner assumes
the role of Helen in this production, a
character we'll suited to her emotional
qualities, and one to which she is well
adapted. No part she has ever attempted
exhibits as we'll as this one the talent
thatshe possesses. Her portrayal of the
heroine in this play is an engaging.
forcible and carefully balanced Gre
alton, which compels sympathetic
and admiring recognition. The East
ern press have accorded her the
highest praises for her forcible
acting in this part and speak of the play
as being an immensely strong one. The
company in support is an excellent one,
and embraces many we'll known players.
The dresses worn by Miss Tanner in this
play are said to be models of beauty,
and were all imported from Worth's es-
pecially for this production.
The company includes the following
list of well known players: Harold
Russell, Edison Dickson, Owen West
ford, George Edison, Theodore Brown,
Adah Dyer. Virginia Buchanan and
Minnie Dupree.

AGAINST GRANTS.
Labor Organizations Want the
City to Own Its Market House.

Some of the local labor organizations
have taken up the market house prob
lem, and, if their desires should meet
with qualification, Harlow Gale will
never realize his long-cheriShed dream.
The labor organizations are unalterably
opposed to the granting of of valuable
public franchises to private individuals.
They insist that the new market house
should be owned and managed by the
city. They contend that the franchise
never should have been granted in the
first place, and that the dilatOry course
pursued by Mr.. Gale is not creditable to
anybody. 1t is contended that if the
city council will undo what it has al
ready done, and act promptly upon the
lines suggested, the market question
will be solved in satisfactory way.
The plon is that the city shall acquire
title to the entire block now partly oc-
cupied by the old court house and
county Jail, at the corner of Eighth av-
enue south and Fourth street, for the
purpose of establishing and maintaining
a public market. In order to accomplish
this the city would have to secure only
site of the county buildings, two of
these being on Fourth and two on
Eighth street. If, as is now expected,
accommodations are provided for the
county officers in the new court house
in two years, it is argued that there is
none too much time to carry the plan
into execution so far as the prelimina-
ries are concerned, and the erec-
ton OF city market could be
started at the earliest possible day
after the removal of the county officers
to their new quarters. The advocates
of this proposition are circulating pc
tiIion addressed to the city council,
which sets forth as ''cogent reasons
which urge us to make the petition"
that the parties who have long been
promising to furnish the people with a
market have uniformly failed to give
any practical evidence of good faith,
that the city should own the market,
that it should be located in the heart of
the city's population, and that most of
the real estate needed now belongs to
the county and could be acquired
cheaper than any other.
The suggestion of the court house
site opens up another question which
seems to have been lost sight of. The
city has already granted franchise for
a market OIL South Washington avenue,
but a few blocks from where the pres
ent court house stands. There seems
no necessity for two markets quite so
close together. The question now is:
If the central market should be located
where the court house stands, what
would become of the South Minneapo-
lis or Sixth ward market?

Peter Hegelman in Minneapolis last
night, the list of certain starters in til,
big contest was completed. Burns,
though the last man to arrive on the
scene, will not be the last man to cross
the line at the close of the race. He
has not been travelling on the tan
bark much of late, but he
has record which speaks for
him. Burns halls from Elmira, n. T.,
where he made his first race about
twelve years ago. He took part in sew
eral Seventy-two-hour races, and then
entered the race between horses and
men, which was held in Chicago under
the management of the famous Dan
O'Leary some six or seven years ago.
There Burns distinguished himself by
distancing all competitors. both blpedal
and quadrupedal. He has won good
many seventy-twO-hour races since then,
and has secured places well up to the
front in some longer matches. He runs
with long, easy stride, and is steady
worker.
The other ''ped" who arrived yester-
day, was Peter Hegelman. Peter is an
old-timer Oh the track. One of the best
of them. A New Yorker by profession
and instinct, he has added to the repu-
tation of his city and state, by making
record of 500 miles in six days. He
never Yet entered a race without max
ing a good showing. Although he has
but just arrived in Minneapolis, he has
been in active training for some weeks,
and is in the best of trim for q long,
hard struggle.
Who has not heard of Franz Hart, the
colored racer? Hart is pre-eminently
one of the star pedestrians of the coun-
try. Lovers of sport will remember
how, over ten years ago, he electrified
sporting circles by trotting 365 miles in
six days at Madison Square garden,
New York, and carrying out OF that his
toric arena in his pants pocket $4,000,
the second largest amount Of money
ever won there. Hart was unknown
up to that time, but thereafter he was
hailed as wonder, and became a
protege of Dan OLeary. He has won
big matches since then, and has cast
longing eyes upon first money in this
match. He'll make the man who beats
him hustle.
The pedestrians, according to custom
held a meeting yesterday at the Mime
apolis hotel, to decide how the gates re-
ceipts shall be divided. E. G. Moore
presided, und George Noremac otficiated
as secretary. 1t was decided that no
man who makes less than 500 miles
shall receive any portion of the re-
ceipts. Each pedestrian who covers ITO
miles in the first twentYf0ur hours will
receive $40 and an additional $40 if 275
miles are made in the first seventy
two hours. This money comes out of
the pedestrians share of the gate re-
ceipts.

COWBOY NELLIE AGAIN.
This Time She is the Bone in a Di-
yOrce Suit.

NOTCC 0OlCs
A suit for divorce has been entered in
the district court which calls to mind
the escapades of a rather notorious Min
neapolis female. The complainant is
Mary E. Cole. She states that she was
welded to George F. Cole at Anoka,
Minn., in 1882. They have had one
child named Geraldine, who is now two
years of age. The wife is twenty-three
years of age, and her erring husband
has seen thirty years of ups and downs
in this cruel world. But this is but a
prelude. Some time ago, it will be re-
membered, one Nellie hing, a young
lady OF uncertain social standing and
masculine prOpenslties. took 1t into her
head to do the cowboy act.
She was noticed first driving about
the city with broad-brimmed hat set
jauntily upon her curls in training
sulky, and often her fair form was the
center of many gances as she rode
about the streets OH the backs of fiery
Kentucky steeds. 1t was during these
DAYS that she met and loved George. the
defendant, Notwithstanding the fact that
he was the property of another woman.
Soon she-appeared to tirs of the con-
ventional mode of equeSJrienne eXer
else, and after dark tried it la clothes
pin. She appeared to like this so we'll
that she donned male attire and went to
Saltwater. And George went with her.
Here they were arrested for disorderly
conduct and suffered the Inconvenience
of fine. From there they went to Da-
kota and started in the bad cowboy busi-
ness with such success that they OBJ
tanned widespread reputation as horse
thieves, and were pursued with such
success that the lady was captured, al
though the man escaped. During all
this time it appears the couple were
continuing their round of pleasure as
man and wife.
If the complaint is to be believed.
George did not form himself into a
rescuing party for the purpose of tear
ing his inamorata from the cruel arms
of her captors, but hied himself at once
to the British possessions, where he
now is, safe from pursuit. His wife OBJ
jects to being longer united in holy
matrimony to gentleman of his dime
novel pr0cliyities, and some tender
hearted judge will be asked to sever the
hateful bonds Immediately. if not
quicker. Meanwhile the fair Miss King
continues to be an object of great
solicitude to the guardians of Flour City
virtue.

A Plea for Danz.

To the Editor of the Globe.
am stranger i'll this city of wealth
and beauty, but cannot refrain from
saying word in favor of Mr.. Danz and
his fine orchestSa.
1t has been my pleasure to listen all
my lite to Thomas, and every season to
the Boston Symphony concerts, besides
hearing Reinecke's and many in other
parts of Europe. Since my stay here of
a few weeks | have heard every cOnceTt
Mr.. Danz has given. 1t is not too great
compliment to say that-his orchestra
ranks favorably with the best in the
world, tits my conviction that a city
whose administrative power gives at
tentiOn to and encourages love for the
highest and best musical thought will
gain in moral worth, intellectual
strength and refinement of feeling.
There is no influence so potent in the
elimination of evil, and so conducive to
the health and happiness of a people, as
good music. No man ever conferred a
greater blessing upon a community
than did Mr.. Higginson, of Boston, when
he betrayed the expenses of Gericke'S
orchestra until it was self-supporting.
Are there not men and women In this
progressive city who will form syndl-
cate. build hall appropriate for such
an orchestra and literally support it
until the people are educated to all ap
probation of the finest music?
