Their reputation had come before

there for an evening Of fun. Each
member of the troupe was greeted
with an ovation as she appeared, and
with unceasing applaudance and as
sistance from the audience in the per-
Torrance of her part, while everlast-
ing mementos were showered upon the
stage at her disappearance. For
some unaccountable reason and to the
extreme disappointment of the entire
audience the performance was discon-
tinued before the program was half
completed. We venture the assertion
that if this excellent (?) company ever
plays in our city again they will be
greeted by q crowded house.

THIEF RIVER FALLS, Minn., May 15.-
The sun came out bright and clear this morn
ing, and before o'clock the line began form
ing in front of the United States court COM
missioner's Office here. When filings were ac-
cepted, nine attorneys and others doubted the
legality Of such proceedings and wired the
Crookston land office for information. Regis
ter Dunlava replied that there was only one
land office in the district and filings would
date from the time received at the Crookston
Office. This foreshadowed some complications
and claimants took the first train for Crooks
ton. The reports from the lands opened are
to the effect that considerable excitement at
the line was witnessed this morning at the
opening hour. About 500 started in the race
despite the continued rain Of yesterday and
last night 1t is also reported that more
difficulty was had between settlers on the
same land. Two men are reported dead and
another dying from bullet wounds. Those re-
ports have not been fully verified. Rains
have rendered roads almost impossible and it
is difficult to ascertain any correct facts.
long string of teams left here about l
o'clock this morning loaded with lumber
and provisions, expecting to reach the line
at the opening hour. The success of the
Crookston people to convince home seekers
that first filing would prevail over first set
tlement had the effect to keep large crowds
at the land Office. After the rush there will
be plenty of good land left and constant in
lux of settlers is expected during the coming
summer and fall.

NELSON'S RESIGNATION
Announced to the Court officials at
Duluth.

DULUTH, Minn., May 15.-Promptly at noon
today Judge r. R. Nelson, of the United
States district court for Minnesota, adjourned
court till June 16 and created sensation by
making a brief speech, in which he an
nounced to the court officials and spectators
that he had rendered his resignation, to take
effect Immediately. He said he had passed the
time allotted to man, referring to his seven
tieth birthday, which occurred last Tuesday,
and had been on the bench thirty nine years,
and he thought the proper thing to do was
to devote the remainder of his life to rest.
He knew some would think 1t ill-advised, but
he had not taken the step without careful con-
sideration.
Nobody had the least intimation that he
would resign until one hour before noon,
when he told one Of the court officials that he
would not be judge after IL o'clock. Word
was telephoned to the county court house.
Quite delegation of attorneys went down to
see the Judge close his official career. Later
the Judge, in conversation with friends, said
he would not have resigned If he had had an
associate with him to divide the work, but he
had got tired of living in boxes referring to
his constant fitting about the state. His
resignation is now in the hands of the presi-
dent, and takes effect tomorrow noon. He with

die. Two girls, one aged fifteen and one nine,
were fatally injured, and another girl, aged
eleven, injured internally. 1t is impossible to
get correct list of all the missing, but some
member of nearly every family in the district
is missing.
1t is safe to assume that at least one fourth
of the number of injured will die in the next
twenty-four hours. A storm of a similar
nature passed about six miles west of the
city at about the same hour. Several houses
were blown down and many persons injured.
Their names cannot be obtained. At Carpen-
ter's Bluff, on Red river, it is reported that
six persons were hurt, five seriously. Build
ings and other structures in the way were
demolished.
EIGHT KILLED AT HOWE.
HOWE, Texas, May 15.-Today's terrible
cyclone struck this town, leaving death and
ruin in it's wake, the path of the storm be-
ing quarter Of a mile wide. Ten farm
houses and as many barns were wrecked.
Eight persons were killed outright and many
injured. Bark was ripped from trees and
much stock was killed.
ONE KILLED AT JUSTIN.
JUSTIN, Tex, May 15.-A cyclone struck
the town of Justin today at 2:20 p. m, blow
ing twelve houses down, killing one man
named w. ]. Evans, of Kellar Tex, and
badly injuring seventeen others. The cyclone
also did much damage north Of here.

Special to the Globe.
( CRooKSToN, Mimi, May 15.-The rush at
the land Office today, while large, did not
meet expectations. Many stood in line, and
when they reached the plat books found their
claim had been taken. Some OF the more
valuable ones had been asked for by as high
a number as ten applicants. Many times no
second choice had been made; only one set
of papers were ready for the Offering The
result was that the number in line was far
in excess of the number of filings. The tran
som was used as a means of ingress for the
first in line. He had been superseded by
woman. Thirty seconds before the hour of
he flung himself over, only to find that his
watch, like himself was several minutes too
previous. 1t was with difficulty that he held
his place in line after that. The crowd was
very orderly, and only one man tried to ad-
vantage himself at the expense Of those who
kept in file. He, like the transom hero, was
fired bodily. Five women held their place to
the end, and were each rewarded by finding
the plat blank where their claims were locat-
ed. One hundred and forty claims were filed,
and 1t is believed that the coming week win
see several days when a larger number will
be offered by those who thought best to trust
to priority Of settlement.
But one. effort was made to break in ahead
Of the line, and the Offenders Hing was re-
fused, and he went to the foot of the line.
There were four women in the line this morn
ing. A second had crowded in by an from
clad exhibition Of nerve, and the other two
supplanted two men who had held places for
them during the past three days. The excel
lent police regulations. prevented any serious
disturbance anywhere in the corridors or on
the streets. where the crowds had gathered.
Fully 1000 people were present, either as
claimants or through curiosity. The line IL
1t had not wound through corridors and the
Lobby would have been two blocks long and
contained not less than 400 claimants. Besides
these there were many others, who saw that
it would be impossible to receive and record

Judge Nelson was born in Cooperstown, N.

make his fortune when he had fitted himself
for the practice of the law. In the year 1858
President Buchanan appointed him to the

been made a district on it's admission to the
Union, and since that time the Judge has
ably and continuously served on the bench
OF all those who have borne their part in the

better known than Judge Nelson.

NEW YORK, May 15.-The American line
steamer st. Paul. which arrived here to-
night, broke her owp record from Southamp-

made by the steamer New York. of the same
line, on Sept IA, 1894. The time Of the
St. Paups trip was six days nine hours and
five minutes for 3112.2 knots, an average of
20.34 knots an hour. The New York made
the passage in six days seven hours and four
teen minutes over the shorter course of 3,047
knots, her average speed being 20.15 knots an
hour. The best days run made by the New
York was 515 knots, and now the st. Paul
beats that by making 522 knots up to noon
today. The remarkable part of the St. Paups
performance was that she was obliged to run
at reduced speed, on account of~fog, for a
portion of the last three days.
