A BUNCo GAME
Which Cost an Innocent Farmer
$265.

John Lundin, farmer from ChIsago
county. was yesterday robbed of $3.50 by
three bunco men. He went into Sey-
enth street saloon to take drink
with the capper. While this in
teresting ceremony was going on
3unco Man No. came and began to
shake dice with No. /. The latter was
soon short of money and asked for
loan from the guileless farmer, who
pulled out wad of the above amount
from his capacious pocdet. NO. 2
snatched the money out of his hand and
disappeared. At this juncture No: 3
put in his appearance in the form OF
detective, and arrested the farmer and
No. for gambling. The tiller of the
soil told how he had been robbed,
aud the detective at once set about to
help him recover his money. He SAID
the thief had, without doubt. gone to
Minneapolis, and together they went to
that city. The bogus detective told the
farmer to stop at Sixth street hotel
while he went out to reconnoiter. The
victim waited for two or three long
hours, but the detective never came
back. Lundin then became suspicious
and reported his loss to the police. AT
last accounts he had not recovered the
money.

HORRIBLE HEADACHE.

One of the worst. as we'll as one of the
most common feature of ordinary
catarrh. is the extreme physical suffer
ing incident to every variety of head
ache. The burden of the complaint
most frequently made by those apply
ing for relief is that Of intolerable pain
in the head. Such an illustration is
furnished in the following case of Mr..
George Hack. assistant foreman at the
Adam Decker company. and residing
with his family at 23U East Congress

A PREMATURE SCARE.
Acreage of PhaIen Park Not Yet
Reduced.

hctluCSU.
Unnecessary alarm has been 6cca-
stoned by the persistent publication OF
a false report of the action of the park
board 1t is in relation to Phalen park.
The GLOBE alone gave truthful re-
cital of the facts. The other papers
every one of them-have enunciated the
declaration that Phalen park has been
emasculated But the fact still remains
that the resolution introduced IN con-
formity with the suggestion OF the board
of public works, to reduce the acreage
of the park. was unanimously LAID upon
the table at Monday nights meeting of
the park commission. True, the cut
may eventually be made. but it has not
yet been made.
The park board last evening took an
adjournmt Mt until next Tuesday even
ing. The purpose is to take positive
action concerning this proposed reduc-
ton, and it is the desire to have full
board present when the matter is con-
Stdered. There was not full attend

AN ENJOYABLE OUTING.
Ell Campo Visited by Many People
of the Best Class.

A large but quiet and orderly excursion
party, composed of people who enjoy re-
fined pleasure. visited Ell Campo yesterday
and spent delightful day at that beauti-
full pleasure ground. The place was
sheltered from the high winds which
marred the day in the city and the visitors
reveled in warmth and sunshine.
Both on the boat aud at Ell Campo the
holiday makers were entertain ed by the
charming selections of the ieutOnla Choral
Society. The contributions OF the singers
were voluntary and were highly appre-
ciated. 10 addition to the pleasure of
enjoyed themselves with a variety of diver
sions. Children rolled on the grass, played
games and ran races.
Their elders luxuriated in the beauty OF
the grounds, choosing sunny rocks or
shaded dels, as their fancy suggested.
A more attractive spot for a quiet, rest
full Sunday could hardly be imagined. Ma
ture designed E Campo for just such a
purpose, and the modern cnnveniences
which have been introduced have not de-
tracted from the original beauty OF the
place. Numbers enjoyed the excellent
boating facilities which are afforded, and
many parties were formed for the search
of shells or botanical specimens.
Almost all of yesterdays visitors pic
nicked in family style. but for those who
did not carry luncheon there was ample
provision ON the grounds. The excursion
ISIS returned TO the city in the evening
thoroughly pleased with their days out
ing, and without an accident to spoil the
general enjoyment.

LABOR'S OFFER.
1t Will Give $1o,ooo to the Fair, if
Fairly Treated.

The Miawiater Fair is receiving consid.
erable attention from mechanics and la.
b0rers. These men are most anxious tC
see the thing prove a success, but they are
equally anxious that during its progress
their interests be protected. La order TO
insure this latter point several meetings oil
representatives from the different trades
and labor unions were held yesterday and
plans Of action were outlined. The meet
ings were presided over by Thomas At
knson, of the Building Trades Council.
The committee which on Saturday
waited on the president of the Midwinter
Fair Association reported the result OF
its consultation. Then the question Of the
attitude to be assumed by the laborers and
mechanics came up for discussion.
On behalf of labor ii is maintained that
there arelo-day in the State enough me-
chanics to perform all the work required,
and that were others brought here their
coming could not help but have tendency
to affect labor in the future.
There are. it is claimed, some $1,000 me-
chanics at present in the city and affiliated
with labor organizations. In additi on,
there are many thousands more who arc
not connected with trades unions or coun-
cils-qute enough, it is argued. to serve
all purposes.
Representative Murphy Of the Building
Trades Union. in speaking of the siIua-
ton, said:
1.-The committee which has been in ses-
sion to-day represents at least %. 0G0 men.
each one OF whom is anxious t. do all he
can to help this fair proposition along.
We are NOT, however. going 10 do anything
that may injure ourselves.
IA II we ask is that the work upon the
fair buildings be performed by home lab bor.
Not an unreasonable request, | think,
when it is considered that the laboring
men of the State are the ones who will be
asked to help support the fair.
"A thing about this request. too, is that
we are joined in it by the cty's architects
and sculptors, and in consequence are very
powerful.
Now as to what we intend to do. Our
offer in brief is this In consideration of
our request being granted every man en-
gagged in building or whose work brings
him In contact with builders and who is a
member of labor organization stands in
readiness to give one days pay to the fair
fund.
'There are at least $500 men who come
in this class in the city; the average paw
is 50 so par day. SO yOn see we virtually
offer to denote to the affair over SIC. 900 If
its directors in turn grant us a favor
which we believe we should not be com
PEELED to ask"
To-day another conference with the
directors is TO be held. and upon it's re-
suit hinges the action of the local la borers
and mechanics.

THE RECEIVING HOSPITAL.
Police Surgeon Somers Completes
His Report.


Police Surgeon George B. Somers has
compiled the regular animal report for The
fiscal year ending June 80, 1893, which
will be presented to the Board of Health
at the next meeting of that body.
In his report the chief surgeon makes
some suggestions for the future conduct of
the City Receiving Hospital. His recon-
mendations would tend to place the insti-
tuition upon an equal footing with the best
in any cities in the Uuited States.
The report states that since the last
annual report the equipment and service
of the hospital have Oeen greatly improved.
The new quarters, occupied since August
90. 1892, have been provided with every
facility for the proper care and treatment
OF emergency cases. Accommodations are
provided for a total of twenty persons in
the male, female and lnebriate wards. An
Increased staff of physicians and pro-
visions for the constant presence of sur
geons and matron greatly facilitate
hospital work.
The chief present needs of the Institution are
an additional ste e"ard, furniture for the sur
geons' sleeping apartments, an ambulance and
higher salaries.
that the total number of cases treated during
the fiscal year is 1866. During the previous
year the number reached 5771, or 500 more
than during The past year The diminished
number OF cases is due to the change in the
location OF the hospital but the character of a
large proportion OF The number representing
the loss may be judged from the fact that the
cases of alcoholism treated at the new location
have diminished by nearly 500. In other re-
spects the present location, being in the geo
graphical center OF the city. has proved In every
way suitable and convenient. Respectfully,
q. b. SoMERS, M. D., Police Surgeon.
The report then continues to give sta
tlSties.
AS Police Surgeon Somers has brought
the spital to nigh standard Of efficiency
during his administration, there Is every
prospect that his rec0mmen n dations will be
considered at length by the Board of
Health.

Father Yorke on Missions.

Rev. Father Yorke delivered n impress
sive sermon at high mass at ST. Mary's
Cathedral yesterday on the duties of
Catholics toward foreign missions. He de-
clared that there was great laxity in this
respect on the coast and through the
United States.
The reverend speaker referred. in burn
ing words to the noble, unselfish work
being done among the heather in northern
ATTITUDES and mong the lepers in the
Pacific Ocean. Yet. little was done by the
privileged OF the United States to help on
that work.
Il do not speak on this subject" con-
cluded the preacher, ''because there is
going to be special movement, or ccllec-
tion, but do speak about it because there
IS no special movement, and because the
Catholics OF this great land should awaken

DEVOTIONS AT ST. MARY'S.
Beautiful Music Accompanies the
Solemn Services.

ST. Mary's Church on California streel
was crowded yesterday at IL O'clock when
the ceremonies attending the devotion of
the forty hours began. The altar and
sanctuary were literally covered with flow
ers and shrubs of great variety, floral
pieces of handsome and appropriate de-
signs and multitudes of candle-lights.
A solemn high mass was celebrated by
Rev. Thomas Larkin, assisted by Fathers
OConnor and Muligan as deacon aud sub
deacon. respectively. Father O'Connor
preached the sermon on the forty hours
devotion. and after the conservation the
sacrament was exposed in a canopy over
the tabernacle for the devotion Of the
faithful.
The musical accompaniment was of a
high order. Miss May Georgiana directed
the music and played the organ. The
Baldwin Iheater string quartet. composed
of August Heinrlchs. E. E. Schm,z,
Joseph l.. Schmitz and Charles Toepke,
rendered many excellent solos and con-
certed pieces from Haydn and other
favorite composers. and the usual choir of
st. Mary's used their voices to good effect.
The instrumental music was equal, il not
superior, to anything heard in churches In
this city.

The Winter Exposition a
Certainty.
A VERY STORMY SESSION.
The Executive Committee OF the Fair
and Park Commissioners LOCK
Horns-Everytfling Arranged.

Since Friday last the fate Of the Calfor-
min Midwinter International Exposition
has been trembling in the balance. The
executive committee and the Park Com
missioners locked horns over the question
of the management of the site donated for
the exposition, the manner in which it was
to be prepared for the great show and as
10 who should handle the money expended
In doing the work on the grounds.
So grave was the situation that on Fri
day the executive committee stopped all
work and curtailsc every expense possible
IN the fear that the project would have to
be abandoned and the subscriptions re-
turned to the don Ors.
The utmost secrecy was enjoined that
not a word of the trouble be breathed out
side of the committee-room and it was only
yesterday that the truth came out. The
Park Commissioners wanted to handles the
