AT THE THEATERS.

1t was an evening of music at the Peoples
church last night. The most casual survey of
the large audience assembled there would
have indicated that musical event of most
pretentious character was about to take place,
for the local patrons of the art were present
in goodly numbers The capacity of the audi
torium was not overtaxed, however, as there
were several vacant chairs in the rear 1t
was essentially an appreciative audience
which fact contributed materially to the en-
joyment of the Nordica concert
The famous prima donna did not appear
until the fourth number. She had scarcely
emerged from the little doorway at the left
Of the platform before the welcoming applause
greeted her. AS she came forward dawning
as 1t were. upon the vision Of the entire audi
ence, the applause increased in intensity not
alone because more hands Joined In the nat
ural demonstration, but also as a tribute to
the radiant presence CT the woman herself.
For Nordica is a picturesque woman Her
fine figure, handsome face and queenIy bear
ing would impress a deaf and dumb as
semblage. But the audience at the Peoples
church was not suffering from any such af-
Fiction. While Nine. Nordica stood waiting
for the accompanist to arrange her music,
the ladies studied her gorgeous gown. which
bafties the descriptive powers of a masculine
pen. The men gazed at the woman not her
dress, and awaited the first sound of her
voice.
The selection was an aria from ssErszheth -
the work Of Franz Erkel, a Hungarian com
poser. 1t was not familiar composition. but
its music, as interpreted by Nine. Nordiea
resounded with a vibrant ring throughout the
house and thrilled her hearers with it's eIo-
quence. That the great prima donna was
not in the best of voice was evident to these
who have heard her at her best but it is
extremely doubtful if those who listened
to her for the first time detected the faint
cloud that now and then yelled her high
notes, and perceptibly dimmed their wonted
crystal clearness. 1t is the triumph of
artists to conceal these inevitable disadvan-
tages to which the slightest symptom of
cold or indisposition subjects them. and so

SPIRIT OF RIVALRY.
1t Lends Lively Interest to the Good
Shepherd Fair.

The second day of the House of the
GOOD Shepherd fair in the Ryan annex
was well attended and the sales large.
The fair is all the way through a de-
cIded success, and the attractively ar
ranged programmes in the evening of
each day are making a decided hit.
The programme given last evening was
in charge Of Mrs. Frank Hoffman, or
ganfst at the cathedral and numbers
were given by Frank Hoffman and
Miss Collins and Mrs. Pearl Zumbach.
Miss Collins sung number of solo
numbers, and was also heard in a duet
number with Mr.. Hoffman. Mrs. Zum-
bach sang. This evening Miss Hopes
Mandolin orchestra will attend, and
Miss Elsie Shaw will sing. At the
booths interest eenters round a number
of f1ourishing contests. AT the holly
trimmed booth, in charge of women
from st. MichaeTs, ST. Patrick's and
st. Mary's, a handsome bisque framed
mirror most exquisite imported af-
fair, donated by Mrs. G. c. Clark, Is
being sold on chances, and there are
two doll contests Mrs. Mcdonald gave
to this table beautiful Irish lace
handkerchief brought from abroad
which is admired by every one. A
couple Of spun glass mats also attract
attention at this booth. One is light
blue and white and the other pink and
white. AT the pretty green booth in
charge of st. Luke's women is a beaut1-
full lunch cloth embroidered in violetS,
the work of the Sisters of st. Joseph's.
At this table is also a silk patch work
quilt made and donated by Mrs. San
Souci At the booth in charge of won-
en- from Assumption and St. Agnes
parishes a handsome silk patch work
quilt is displayed, the work of the Sis
tiers Of the Good Shepherd. st. Joseph's
booth is in charge of Mrs. Dearth, and
at it are displayed the most beautiful
dolls one would care to possess. The
dolls are deliberately gowned by we'll
known modistes, and are works of art.
At this booth the old woman in the
shoe holds forth, and certainly has her
full share of children. The yestment
contest is warm one. The votes early
last evening stood: ST. Luke's, 100; st.
Mary's, 100; st. Marks, so; st. Joseph's,
100; and the cathedral so. The other
parishes are yet to be heard from.
Contests for a tea set and diamond
ring are also going on.

CHLoRoFoRMED THE DOG.
Another Stage in the Merriam Park
Rabies Scare.

A mad dog, the property of Mr.. Dan
forth, Of 1912 Rondo street, was chloro-
formed yesterday for rabies. The dog
was a small poodle and was the vic
tim Of paralytic rabies the result Of a
bite received from mad dog some
two weeks ago. This dog was the
only one of number of those bitten
by the animal allowed to live, all the
others being shot at that time. The
poodle, however, was quarantined and
three days ago showed signs Of rabies,
and yesterday was killed. The dog
which made the trouble came from,
nobody knows where, and went to the
same place. 1t was given hot chase
by mounted police, but was lost track
of and presumably died as no one has
heard from it since. 1t was black
and white bird dog, and appeared first
at Cleveland and Summit avenues. 1t
bit a dog belonging to I. N. Booth, of
Portland avenue, and then ran on to-
ward and through Merriam Park, snap
ping at and biting several dogs in it's
flight Several people started after it
at Merriam Park, among them officers
of the police force, but were unable to
overtake it. The dogs bitten were
killed, all but the Danforth dog. No
person was attacked.

MILE Laos, LUMBER CASE
Now Comes Up in the Ramsey Conn
ty Court

A case with some unusual features
IS being heard by Judge Otis in the dis
tr1ct court. Page Bros, lumbermen.
Wen known through the state, are the
plaIntlftS, and the Mile Laos Lumber
company, anothr important lumber
company, is the defendant The dam
ages demanded by the plaintiffs are
$40, 40.
The plaintiffs set forth in their com
plant that in 1890 they were engaged
IN the lumber and logging business in
the Rum river, down which stream
they were proposing to float a large
quantity of logs which they had cut
In the country above Milaca Had
the work been prosecuted, as they had
right to anticipate, the work of get
ting the logs down would have been
easily finished in the season of 1890, but
! they were prevented in the enterprise
by the dam, boor1s and sorting places
OF the defendant at Milaca, and the
work was protraoted into the season
of 1891. GE sf
On account Iof this occupancy of the
river by the defendant company, plain
tlffs employed a large number of men
at high wages to handle their logs,
and paid dearly for the delay in work
ing up their logs. into lumber
The singular condition of the judi
cial situation appeared before Judge
Otis.
The case was first tried by Judge
Searles in NIilaca county, and judg-
ment was found for the defendant An
appeal was taken to the supreme court
and that court reversed the decision of
the lower court, and indicated that the
plaintiffs were entitled to heavy dam
ages.
Weston Hammons, formerly of Anoka,
and later of Duluth, was one Of the
attorneys for the plaintiffs, and han
died the appeal. H. G. Eller represent
ed the lumber company.
In the supreme court the defense dis
covered that the certificate from the
clerk of the lower court was irregular
that it had been torn off some other
paper or document and attached to the
bill Of exceptions or paper book be-
fore the supreme court. When the SUI
preme court discovered this to be the
case it ordered the case stricken from
the records and sent it back to the
district court, the attorney for the de-
Tense asking for a dismissal, with the
intention of renewing the suit from the
beginning. The original bill of excep-
tons could not be found It was sup
posed, and SO stated in an affidavit
from Mr.. Hannlons, that it had passed
into the hands Of clerk, who had
certain duties to perform with respect
to it,and from there it had disappeared.
The sanity Of Mr. Hammons has since
been called in question, and it is init
mated that he might have been insane
at the time. H. C. Eller has since
died
In this new action the defendant,
the Mile Laos company. plead in their
answer res adjudiea ta-that is, that the
courts have determined finally the case
and that the plaintiffs have no standing
in court.
One of the witnesses yesterday was
Judge SearleS who tried the case in
Mile Laos coanty. He was called to
show that at fhe time the case was be-
fore him he made sfiis rulings on all the
facts, and the entire case coming be-

Albert Lea. at least that is the grape
vine report which reached the Wind
Sor last evening. Henry Feig was
to have joined the party at Albert Lea,
but he didn't, because, as he claims,
he missed the train Feigs story was
that he arose early enough yesterday
morning, but, in an absent-minded way,
walked down to the union depot, ar
irving there about five minutes before
the time for the departure Of the train
He started to go out the gate, but was
Informed by the gate keeper that the
train for Albert Lea left from the de-
pot on Fourth street. Feig had n
date to tell the dairymen of the state
what he knew about cream and skim
milk, his experience in the legislature
having added to his knowledge last
night, and in order to make the train
which would allow him to keep the
appointment, he started from the union
depot through the yards for the Mime
apolis 6 st. Louis station. He man.
aged to lose himself among the box
cars and also lost the train. Seen
yesterday afternoon, he reiterated the
statement that he was not going to
Albert Lea in the interests of any
combination, but simply as a dairyman.
He also said he was in the field for
speaker to stay and that he would go
to Albert Lea this morning.
Daniel Shell and Thomas Torsen, a
couple of members from the Second
district, were at the Windsor last even
ing. S. b. BaSford and S. T. Littleton,
of the First district, who evidently for

We're at the Merchants, and there are
those who say that Jones, of Todd
county, is making a rough drawing
OF what may be the makeup of the
more important committees at the
coming session. Minneapolis, for some
reason, does not take kindly to Jones,
and, if there was chance to do bust
ness with Douglas or with anybody,
the Fifth district men would jump
at the chance. To show what straits
the Minneapolis party are in, they
have started quite a boom for H. G..
Hicks and have even forced that gen.
tleman to write a letter in which he
admits that he would consider it an
honor to be elected to the position.

Neither we nor logical Republicans
have any use for those nanby pamby
wishy washy fellows of either school
who are neither flesh, fowl nor good
red herring on the tariff question. Occu-
plying illogical and ridiculous positions
they only serve to make ridiculous
the cause unfortunate enough to have
them attached to it. Instance the Chi
cago Tribune. 1t now wants reason
able protection; having argued during
ton. There is no such thing. 1t is
not a thing of reason but of greed; sim
pie, pure, unadulterated greed. 1t prof
fers you bouquet of sentiment, while
it runs its skinny fingers into your
pocket. We like better the bold, Jack
Sheperd style of that other Tribune of
New York, who makes no pretense but
boldly confronts you, pulls a gun and
says: Hands up
The Tribune wants the poor farmers
protected as much as the others are
on their grain, butter, eggs, barley,
horses and cattle. IF there is any
money to be made on these things, let
the farmers make it," That is to say,
If the price of these things can be
made higher by a tariff tax, let the tax
fall. But" These fellows with gristle
for vertebrate are full of butts" Be
careful about protecting wool Wool
is different, you know, from mutton
or beef or pork or wheat Well, yes,
rather; all people wear, it, and none eat
it. Some others, like the Tribune, pull
it over the eyes of other people, when
they can. But why not wool? Because
the duty on wool asked for by 1.-The
Ohio ram raisers" would "be an I'M
bearable tax on the wearers of wool
ems" If it raised perceptibly the price
of goods or caused them to be of poorer
quality" it would be taken notice of
speedily at the polls" With the price
of woolens increased 1.-The millions who
own no sheep and never expect to
own any would have nothing to offset
their losses caused by the increase.
Bosh and nonsense. What is a tariff
for if it do not raise the price of the
things fairfield? And if it raises the
price of horses, cattle, hogs and wheat.
why not wool? People cannot live
without bread and meat and they can
without woolens, and if they do not
kick when a tariff raises the price of
the one, why should they when it in
creases the other? Besides, where is
your philosophy? Has not an ex-presi-
dent told you that "a cheap coat means
cheap man under it, and president
elect told you he did mot like cheap
things?" Does it not follow that a
dear coat means a dear man under it ?
And what is a dear man" but one
who gets high wages, and what is your
blasted old protection for but to make
wages high? What was all the plain
tive bleating we have heard for three
years for, if there is not to be a good
stiff tax on wool? What will all these
poor farmers think of you if you go
back ROW on your fine denunciation of
free wool? How will those 800 per cent
of demolished and abolished sheep
ever get back again onto Senator Hans
brough's Dakota prairies, if there is
to be no protection to wool? Go to-.

BLAIR FOUND HIS COIN.
A Montana Man Did a Little Detec-
tive Work

Walter Blair, of Butte, Mont, report
ed to the police yesterday that he had
been robbed of $50 in money by a wo-
man named Lena Olson, at Mime
apolis, and that the woman was in
this city with the coin. Detectives
Murnane and Gruber were detailed on
the case and arrested the Olson woman
at the union depot last night as she was
about to board the $40 Milwaukee
train for Chicago.
Blair's story is that he met Lena
Olson Sunday. Blair says he went to
sleep Monday night with $50 in his
trousers pockets. He could not find
Miss Olson and thought they had gone
together. Blair notified the Minneapolis
police and came to St. Paul to make
a quiet search for the woman himself
He ran across her in a Sixth street
department store, but she evaded him
by secreting herself in the cloak de-
partment where she staid for two
hours.
The Montana man made a bee line
to the police headquarters and the ar
rest of Lena Olson at the union depot
by Detectives Murnane and Gruber fol-
lowed. The missing money was found
on the Olson woman and she was turn
ed over to the Minneapolis police.

ONLY AS A WITNESS
is PietrO Dadari0 Taken Back to
WISCONSIN


Pietro Dadario, one of the Italians
arrested in this city last week on
suspicion Of being implicated in a
murder which occurred in Barron
county, Wis, last October, was taken
pack to Wisconsin by Deputy Sheriff
+. L.. Speed last evening. Sheriff
Waterman caused the detention Of the.
Italian while he returned to Barron
county to procure a warrant for his
arrest upon which Deputy Speed re-
ceived his prisoner. Dadario was
found in possession of a watch said
to have belonged to the murdered man.
He claims to have purchased the watch
from the person suspected of commit
ting the murder, who is now serving
a term of burglary in the Waupun
penitentiary and is only in the custody
of the Wisconsin authorities, who be-
heve his story, as a witness who, it is
thought, will prove decidedly material
in convicting the guilty person.
