THOSE ROAD RECORDS.

well what did the commissioners
do about the road records?" we asked
at the county clerks Office, Nothing"
was the reply. Is it possible that our
commissioners are so neglectful Of the
peoples interests that the horrible
condition of the road records was not
attended to? Where was Mr.. Thorn
ton and his letter to the commission
ers, asking that the county affairs be
again investig gated? The facts are
that the road records are not in so
bad shape as some people tried at
first to make out. And now that Mr..
Thornton so kindly offers to fix them
up during. his term, we know that
Mr.. Arnold will do the same, so that
all that remains for the commission
ers to do is to SO order, and if any
clerk previous to Mr. Arnold has fail
ed to do his duty let the commission
ers hire some competent person and
strengthen them up. So We paper
fellows have that matter fixed up. We
will let the road records rest in peace.

IRIS rather tough on some seven or
eight republican county clerks to have
the Dispatch claim that Mr.. Thornton
is the first and only clerk to do his
work honestly and without stealing
from the people. Thornton is the
first clerk the county ever had who
never took dollar in fees. He is the
first clerk to do all the work for a
straight salary" Hard words for the
long list that served before Mr..
Arnold.

missoners the following appears:
"The books showing the state Of the
various funds were thoroughly In
spected and the treasurer was found

ment was made with Mr.. Barber on
October s, 1890, and Mr.. DIoore's re-
port was dated June 3, 1890.
How was it possible for the com
missioners to make this settlement
with Mr. Barber unless his books and
the hooks OF the clerk as started by
Mr.. Moore agreedY II this is not
proof enough Of the truth Of our state
ments, after going to the clerks Office
and seeing for yourself, 90 into the
treasurer's Office, and ask for ledger
"D", and then go through that book,
and the locker for truth will find that
each and every fund started by Mr..
Moore is entered IN that ledger, and
the balance, either a debit or credit,
entered "By BAL. per w. H. NJ"
q. Nj. Cole who was deputy treas
urer under Mr.. Barber at the time
tells us that Mr., Barnes took his ledg-
or as made up by Mr. Moore, and
called off the various funds and items
and he, Cole, entered them in the
treasurer's new ledger.

Moore did not go back of his first ex-

HANSON,S HARD LUCK.
Ill Wind Prevented Him From
Starting Yesterday.

The fates are against August Han
to Shiver all the records recorded in the
books of the L. A. w. or other books to
fortune and to fame unknown. Yes
terday high wind blowing obiieueIy
across the track at Minnehaha pre-.
vented him from going against the.
records from 27 to 100 miles, although
he was anxious to make the trial, and
waited for several hours for the gale
to subside. The season for private
trials sanctioned by the L. A. w.
closed at midnight last night, aid
Hanson will not have another chance
to mark a record for himself until
fall o
However, cyclists in this city will
have no lack of sport, for the officers
of the Limited Cycle club last night
wrote asking Chairman Gideon to,
sanction a meet on June Is, at which
there will be a 100-mile competition
race and quarter, half and full mile
dashes. These latter viii be run during
the 1OO-mile race in order to vary the
programme and render the exercises
more interesting to the spectators.
Hanson will undoubtedly enter in this
100-rlile event, and will try to take
the competition records held by
Meintjes up to 60 miles and establish
new records from 81 to 100, no records
having been accepted in competition
events of that length.

STARTED AT A WINNING GAIT,
Snecial to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
MILWAUKEE,, May 31.-The st.
Paul team was made an exhibition Of
today. Milwaukee, elated over the
two victories at Detroit Decoration day
and determined to keep up the good
work. fell upon Pitcher Pepper for
tWenty-seVen safe hits, and out OF
them the Brewers managed to get
within two as many runs. The Apos-
ties seemed to be disheartened over
the streak of bad luck they have had
on the trip which closed with today's
game, and they did not seem to care
whether school kept or let out.
Pepper sullzed after the first
three innings, when it seemed
that Umpire Battin was giving him
a little the worst of it, and during the
last six innings he pitched as though
he did not care whether Milwaukee
made a, million runs or one. For Mil
waukee, Baker pitched acceptably.
When he started in he was Wild but
after the third inning he settled down
and for the remainder of the game
st. Paul had no luck in touching his
curves and shoots. The fielding was
brilliant, the home team carrying off
all the hohors. Weaver Twitchell,
Taylor and Long each made catches
that were highly sensational. st. Paul
started off at a winning gait, and
scored three. before the game had fairly
begun After resting for an inning,
they went in and made three more.
In the meantime, however. Milwaukee
had made one in the second and five
in the third, so that the game was a
tie. Up to the beginning of the fifth
everything was as smooth as possible,
but in the fifth Milwaukee began to
find Pepper, and for the remainder of
the game st. Pauls outfielderS were
led a lively chase. After the
five in the fifth, Milwaukee
scored once in the sixth, five times in
the seventh, five times again in the
eighth and three times in the ninth.
After the third st. Paul was not in the
g me. One run was scored on
f1uke in the fifth, but Baker pitched too
well to allow of anything more being
done. Umpire Battins work was very
ragged at times, and he gave both
teams the worst of it in two or three
decisions at important stages His
umpiripg, however, does not show in
the result as Milwaukee hit the game
out and needed nothing to assist it to
win. The st. Paul team left for home
tonight, very much discouraged and
out of tune. 1t was currently reported
that two or three changes would be
made as soon as it got home. A heavy
rain storm came up in the second in
ming and, to add to the misery of st.
Paul, the grounds were ankle-deep in
mud during the remainder of the game.

OUR FARMERS BAFFLED

By the Magnitude of Their Own
Exertions, Says the London
Times.
LONDON, June 1.-The Times this
morning has an editorial commenting
upon the agricultural report of Hugh
Cough, first secretary of the British
embassy in Washington. 1t says: '.All
the dismal comparisons contained in
this report tell one tale of enormous
production at non-remunerative prices.
With exceedingly cheap land and with
economy of production and handling
carried to a remarkable length by COM
mercial ingenuity, the American pro-
ducers are yet baff1ed by the magnitude
of their own operations. Loudly as
the American farmers complain, they
at all events have plenty. Most of
them would probably have failed to
enjoy as much as this had they re-
mained in European cities to glut the
labor market. They all desire, how
ever, to command more of the good
things of life, and it is from them the

PETROLEUM BLAZING.
Fierce Fire in u German Oil Gen.
ter

HARBURG, May H.-Five petroleum
tanks of the Bremen Trading company
are on fire. Later advices state that
the fire is still raging and covers an
enormous extent of ground. Thou
sands of barrels of petroleum, in addi-
ton to the five tanks of the Bremen
Trading company, have been destroyed.
All the available fire engines and the
whole of the pioneer battalion is try
ing to quench the conflagration. They
are only able to protect the laborers'
cottages. The Gaiser factory and the
American company's petroleum depot
are safe, as the wind is driving the
flames in the direction of the Elbe. The
town is on the south bank Of the Elbe,
about six miles south Of Hamburg, and
has population of about $4,000, largely
given up to industrial pursuits.

HOME MADE BALL
The SauIt Line Nine and Their
Appetite.


Late yesterday afternoon, near the
junction of Nicollet avenue and Thir-
teenth street, in Minneapolis, nine for
lorn individuals, who had represented
the Great American Game Element
Of the M. .& ST. r. r." could have been
observed scattering in various direc-
tions to their respective abodes, with
visions of sackcloth and ashes bedim-
ming their meek and lowly way. For
they had met the enemy and were
theirs"
At2:30 that afternoon these same ex-
ponents of the base ball art had
pranced upon the SANDY diamond"
flushed with anticipation of soda water,
to do battle with the "Men of Sault."
After the usual preliminaries and REM
iniScenceS as regard "how well each
man involved played the game in his
first childhood" an umpire was select
ed to pose as a "roast offering" The
game commenced. The fashionable
audience present watched with abated
breath the ''Sault Line Giants" stride
to bat with confident mien and lay
the ball in the vicinity of Anoka, run
ming bases like a hail pond capitalist
lodging the personal income tax, and
so the game continued. Manager
Wissman lowered about his band of
Saults supplying them with large
quantities of chewing gum and pay
day encouragement ''for to the victors
belonged the spoils.' At the end of
the seventh round, time was called,
and the numerous hairpins that had
fallen from the locks of the unshorn
were restored to their lawful owners
The 500 Line heroes were then
crowned with climax" leaves and the
umpire planted. Among the features
of the game was the large and win
ming smile of 8. S. Wentworth. Pitch
er Olmstead, late of Chicago, played
nobby, and the manner in which he
wound his bicycle manipulators
about each other preparatory to de-
livering the ball was simply superb.
Messrs Huntington, Lewis, Schurch
and Gould, it is understood were re-
cipients of flattering offers from John
Barnes, who did not see the game. All
made regulations and the end is not
yet.

Syndicate Negotiating for the Cor

MONTREAL, May 31.-There is a pos

fight taking place in the immediate
vicinity of Montreal. A syndicate, the
names of the members of which are
as yet secret, has been formed for the
purpose of offering a purse of $4,000 if
the fight shall be pulled off here. They
will guarantee that no one will inter-
fere with it Of course this means that
the syndicate intends to buy out some
municipal government of some small

experiments. They are firm believers
in the notion that an increased curren~
cy would cause a rise in prices. There
fore they are an easy prey of the willy
persons who want to sell silver. But
the price of grain at Liverpool would
not alter, though every Western farmer
had all the silver currency the mine
owners are anxious to supply" The
article arrives at the conclusion that
the British farmer might make more
of his chances.
