Wisconsin favored by Nature

Willis L. Moore, Director Of the Wis
consin Weather Service, speaks rs fol
lows about the climate of Wisconsin,
The climate of Wisconsin is one of
the most hoalthful in the United States.
With an annual rainfall sufficient to
giyo the state high rank in agriculture,
its atmosphere is still SO dry and free
from disease-breeding germs that our
mortality record is as low as The lowest,
in some eases the death rate not being
over one-half what it is in southern and
eastern slater. In the east we have
heard people refer 20 the air of Wiscon-
sin as vapor-laden from the lakes.
Nothing can be further from the truth.
The general easteyly movement of all
air carries the ascending yopors from
Lake Michigan TO the more easterly
states, and the absolute humidity of
Wisconsin is but shade greater than
Minnesota and the DakotaS.
The Weather Bureau records fol- ten
years, from 1876 to 1886, for January.

James G. Blaine.

THERE can be but little doubt that
the life ot the greatest statesman of our
country and one of the greatest in the
world will close with the present year.
James G. Blaine is now lying at his
residence in Washington and his near
est relatives are called to his bedside.
Ho is attended by tho highest medical
talent, but the ok. Secretary attack Of
Bught's disease refuses to yield 10
human skin. and while bulletins issued
by his PLY siciaus try 10 make it appear
that there is no immediate danger, Yet
they admit that the end can not be far
of. The recent death Of the most noted
and successful hnaucier ON country
has eyer known. coupled with the app
preaching death of one who has for
years been the accredited political lead
er, may well serve to emphasize the
fact that
"The boast Of heraldry, the pomp of
power,
And all that mind ana all that wealth
e'er gave,
Await alike the iney itabe hour:
The paths of glory lead but to the
grave
The lives of these two men should
also erlI hasize the wonderful POSSIBLE

Though marked out along widely diff
ferent lines, they have reached along
the highest pinnacles of human ambi-
ton and each has been for years the
bright particular star in his own tirma-
ment to which the eyes of the nation
have been fixed. Viewed from .-orld-
ly standpoint, at least, their lives are
shining examples of success. Both
commencing in youth with little less
than obstacles in their paths. by con
slant application and the exercise OF
will power they succeed in largely be-
coming dictators Of national policy, one

A JAM OF LADIES.
Pick pockets Find Harvest
There-FinaIlY Arrested.

There was quite an exciting time In
front OF Yerxa's grocery store, corner
of Fifth and Nicollet, about 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Three plckpock-
cts were making raid on the pockets
of the ladies who stood in front of
the store and blocked up the side
walk. Mrs. Huburt, who lives at
500 Ninth street south. caught one OF
the thieves in the act of pilfeTing her
pocket and gave the alarm by crying
for help. Inspector Hoy happened TO
be present and made a dash for the
thieves. who escaped by darting through
the crowd and running up First
avenue south. They had the adyan-
tage Of Hoy. who was hemmed in on
every side by women and children.
The thieves believing that Hoy had
lost them in the jam boldly walked
down Sixth street to NicOllet
Inspector Doyle, however. was at the
corner. and with the aid Of a fireman
secured two OF these men after an ex-
hibition of rough-and-tumble fighting.
They we're locked up at the station,
where they gave the names Of Thomas
Hogan and Weber. Hogan is an old
crook. and only recently was released
from the penitentiary at Saltwater,

THE SERVANT SPIES.
The Globe Story Creates a Mild
Sensation

Sensation.
The story published in the GLOBE
yesterday morning concerning the an
archistic spies created quite a sensa-
ton, not only in TIE Twin Cities, but in
Chicago. 1t is expected that new and
interesting developments will be made
in few days. The following dispatch
was received from Chicago yesterday,
and shows how the matter is regarded
there:
CHICAGO, April 16.-The story of
anarchist spies in Minneapolis house
holds creates great interest mere. A
member of the Chicago detective service,
who is at present engaged deeply in
anarchistic researches and who for this
very reason is afraid to let his name be
known, said today that the story was
not only probable but true.
1.-The conspiracy is not new, by any
means, he said. why, found traces Of
it more than two years ago. but could
not lay my hand upon it with sufficient
force to break it up. 1t is worked in a
very shrewd manner. The lady in
Minneapolis is wrong when she says the
spies are paid by the organization. This
is mistake. Anarchists were never
known to pay for anything, and besides,
they are altogether too Shrewd TO pay
for work like this, which they can get
and in the easiest way, for nothing.
He proceeded to tell long story of how
servant girls are induced by their low
ers to keep track OF households. The
information thus received is used for
blackmailing or burglary purposes or
possibly with view to poisoning or
blowing up families. He said that the
anarchists had pet scheme to destroy
several rich men and their families In
this city. They believe that if they
could make away with the richest men
in town they could make the others
come to time and control things.

jority OF people are not in humor for max
ing fine distinctions when their niger
is aroused. The Scandinavians will hold
the Republican party in this county re-
sponsible for what It's present leaders have
done, and every man whose names appear
on the local Republican ticket will find out
TO his sorrow that if the Scandinavia fare
an unassuming and quiet people they have
the spirit and power to slaughter the whole
ticket, II that is necessary 10 put a stop to
insults and persecution.
The above explains several things. 1t
explains why the Scandinavian Repub-
LEANS have found it necessary to call
meetings to discuss the chances of their
candidates. 1t explains why many
Republicans have been, within few
days, advocating the presentation
of national delegateship to
S. Z. Olson, in the hope Of there
by quieting Scandinavian discomfort.
1t explains further why John GoOdnow,
Jim Nash, Bob Jamison and other ener-
getic young men, who are anxious to be-
come steersmen of the Republican ma
chine, have been frantically cornering
scandinavian Republicans and doing
their best to talk them into state of
passive Indifference.

SERVED ON PETERSON.
He Must Now Show Cause Why
He Still Holds Office,

Yesterday afternoon at O'Clock
Hans Ole Peterson, treasurer of Henne-
pin county, de facto, was served with
the writ of quo warranto. 1t was made
returnable on the 29th of this month.
Much speculation has been rife during
the past week over the apparently in
eXcusable delay i'll bringing the trouble
in the county to an issue. 1t has been
fully decided upon by the board of
county commissioners that the members
would pay a visit to st. Paul yesterday
If they did net hear of some definite
action being taken in the matter before
that time. Friday evening, however,
it was given out that the proceedings
would be commenced yesterday, but
not much faith was put i'll the state
ment owing to the fact that similar re-
ports have been in circulation on sew
eral occasions. 1t was thought best.
though. that the trip be postponed until
Monday, at the latest.
Attorney General Clapp filed the writ
OF information yesterday morning with
the supreme court, and Chief Justice
Gilfillan Immediately made an order
making the writ returnable on the 2Sth.
Peterson is cited to appear before the
supreme court and show by what war
rant of authority he holds possession of
the Office of county treasurer, and is
ordered to obey the commands of the
court in all respects. The writ of in
formation on which the quo warranto is

AGAINST THE CITY,
Courts Asked TO Decide Who Owns
Mississippi River Water.

The Minnesota Trust company com
menced suit yesterday against the city
of Minneapolis TO recover $1,000. The
suit is but another phase OF contest
which has occupied the attention of the
courts in one form or another for the
past five or six years.
In 1883 a dispute arose between the
city and the ST. Anthony Water Power
company as TO the ownership of certain
property along the Mississippi river on
Hennepin island. The company claimed
that the city was using far more water
than it was entitled to. according to the
amount of river frontage which 1t
owned. The city had dam extend
ing from the island TO the East side which
forced the water down to the pumping
station OH the East side. At one time
the company threatened to tear down
the dam, but the city obtained a re-
straining order from the court. when
the water power company shut off all
the water except what was necessary to
run the machinery in the pumping sta
ton and supplying what water was
actually necessary. For this they
charged $1,000 month. Matters re-
manned in state of quietude for sew
eral years, and until the present time,
when the trust company brings suit for
the water power company, claiming
balance due of $1,000 The full amount
of the claim against the city is $27, 900.
but at the time the restraining order
was issued. in 1888, the city was obliged
to give bond to the water power com
pany for $4,000. to indemnify it for any
excessive use of water beyond what the
city was rightfully entitled to according
to the decision OF the court. This bond
reduces the amount of the claim TO the
sum of 81, 900, for which sum judgment
is demanded.

The Scandinavians are an extremely pa

of the Scandinavians do not see it in that
