FESTIVAL OF MUSIC,
Mill City VIII Hold One Annually In
June,

A meeting was held in the parlors of the
Commercial club last evening, attended. by
Well-known musical directors Of the city, at
which was discussed proposition which
promises much for the musical interests Of
Minneapolis. ia.4t.4 ad5 "
Following the example fofl Cincinnati and
other large cities, it has been suggested that
1t would be good plan to hold annually
In this city musical festival, lasting, per-
haps, three days each year, in which would
participate the best musical talent Of the city
and state, and which might be augmented if
necessary, by. drawing outside attractions
each year, The festival should be held at
the Exposition building, and should be made
OF strictly high class order.
The meeting of last night was called for
the purpose of considering the advisability
Of the scheme from a business and pro-
fessional standpoint and proved decidedly en-
thusiastic in favor of the idea. 1t was
thought that Minneapolis could not receive
better advertising than. in connection with a
well conducted musical event, and it was
unanimously decided to perfect an organi-
cation and go on with the plan. John F.
Calderwood presided, and after some dis
cusslon 1t was voted that a committee of
three be appointed to recommend officers for
the new organization. H. c. Haynes, c. w.
Parker and w. j.. HELD were the commit
tee, who, after elaboration, reported in IA
Vor OF the following list of officers: Pres
tdent, John F. Calderwood; vice president. W.
j. Harris; treasurer G. w. Brown: secretary
and manager, A. M. Shuey; directors, George
r. Newell, E. L. Danforth and Col. c. McC.
Reeve.
The plan, so far as outlined, is to give
four entertainments during the festival. to
be held early in June. of each year. The
hrst evenings performance might be-a con-
cert by Sousa's Gilmore's band, which
would attract the general public. The sec
ond night could then be given up to the
choral work Of some recognized American
composer, and have him present to direct
the evenings performance. The chorus
might be made from 700 to 1900 voices, sing
ers to be brought to the. city from ali por
lions of the state The third night might
be given up to symphony work. and, in case
the local orchestras would not be sufficient,
some famed Eastern orchestra such as the
Damrosch, the Seidel, the Boston Symphony
or the Thomas orchestra, might be secured
The fourth performance would be a mat
inee.
Among the gentlemen participating in the
discussion of the question were Prof. Ober-
hotter, Prof. ]. w. Andrews Prof c. A.
Marshall, w. NJ, Cross, A. NJ. shuey and
others. The matter of details will be left
to the executive committee, consisting of
the officers and directors of the new organiza-
ton, and all matters will be- settled in prop
er time. The festival will, cost each year
in the vicinity of $4,000 and it is expected
that 1t will attract an audieHce of 10 900 peo-
pie. D. II

ALTGELD's ACTION AS TO HANEY
Something of a Surprise to the Re-
formers In the Mill
City.

The echo Of college song, the bois-
ferrous humor Of college wit and the
charming good-fellowship Of college
kinship, warmed to a glow by a rever-
ent memory of their alma mater, char
acterized the social gathering Of the
Yale men at the Minneapolis club last
evening. 1t was the thirteenth annual
meeting and banquet Of the Yale
Alumni Association of the Northwest.
OF the 100 members, graduates Of that
famous institution now resident in
Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and
Iowa, 46 were present, including in this
number a few Of the undergraduates
now home for the holidays.
In the business meeting Stanford
Newell, Of st. Paul. was elected presi-
dent of the association for the ensuing
year and S. c. Jelley, Of this city, sec
rotary and treasurer. The committee
on the banquet of 1897, was appointed
to consist of DR.. Burnside Foster and
William Begg, of st. Paul, and w. w.
Heffelfinger, of Minneapolis. The din
ner and meeting will be held in St.

After the dinner Stanford Newell, Of
st. Paul. of the class of 81, took charge
of the ceremonies in the capacity of

HERE'S A CHANCE.
Telegraph Messenger Boys May
j ry'~ Start q Bank Account

About one year ago Frank n. Peavey made
proposition to the newSb0yS Of Minneapolis
by, which he agreed to deposit 81 with the
Northwestern National bank to be placed to
the credit of EACH newsboy who would de-
posit like sum prior to Feb Is. In addi-
ton Mr.. Peavey agreed to deposit another
dollar May l, Sept. l and Dec. 81, provided
the newsboys would do likewise
|. IN response to Mr.. Peavey's kind PROPOSE
ton seyenty-fve newsboys each deposited 81
between Jan. 1 and 15,. which was promptly
covered by a deposit of SIS by Mr.. Peavey.
That the plan worked well has borne good
fruit Is. evineed by further action of Mr..
Peavey along this line. He is anxious to set
more boys on the high road to prosperity,
and comes out with another proposition.
Mr.. Peavey. says of his proposition:
commencing Jan. 2, 1897, any messenger
boy in the employ Of the Western Union
Telegraph company, who will present let
ter from his manager, or superintendent that
he has been. In the employ of the company
for six months and is in good standing and
will. deposit with Charles w. Folds, Of the
Northwestern National bank, the sum of 81
receiving therefor a pass book with the
amount so deposited duly credited therein.
and will bring the book to my office, l. will
give an order on Mr.. Folds to enter another
dollar for account of such messenger boy at
brought to my office is that I may have the
opportunity of meeting each of the BOYS per-
sonally. This is not good unless the dollar
Is deposited with Mr.. Folds on or before
Feb. Is, 1897. agr, ~l,s ---~s +t...4t-
Further, if the messenger BOYS who de-
post the first dollar will deposit another dol
lar on or before May l. 1897 L will double 1t
as before; further, l will deposit another dol
lar as above on or before Sept. l. 1897, for
each of the messenger boys who will de-
post like amount on or before said dates -
The money so. deposited, Mr.. Peavey says,
must remain in the bank until Jan. l, 1898.

ROUNDED UP TWO.
Suspected of Being Another Pair of
HOId-Up. Artists. -s....t.4

Ex-Convict Al Longson, supposed to be
responsible for a number Of recent burglar
les in Minneapolis, was lodged in the central
station yesterday morning, after giving the
officers lively chase in a wild attempt at
escape.
Detective Courtney learned Tuesday that
Longton was in hiding in a house at Thir-
teenth avenue and Twenty seventh street
south. Longton has the reputation of be-
ing a desperate man, and. as precaution-
airy move in case the ex-convict should re-
sist arrest Detective Lawrence and Officer
Cronan accompanied Courtney, when he went
to the house to- tae Longton into custody.
The latter was taken by surprise, being
found in bed, and readily agreed to accom-
pany the officers. They stood guard over
him while he dressed, and left the house
with the alleged burglar, watching him close
ly. Once outside, Longton broke and ran
toward the rear of the house. Officer Cronan
speedily overhauled him, and both went down
the man broke away from the officer and
ran down hill. The officer pulled his re-
yolver and fired twice at the fugitive, but
without effect. But luck was against Long
ton. The hill was icy, and, encountered as
he was with heavy overcoat, he went faster
than he desired. At the foot of the hill was
pool Of water into which Longton fell. Be
fore he could regain his feet the officers were
upon him. and he was handcuffed and taken
to the station.
Goods stolen from the residence of Mr.
Poehler, on the East side, were found in
Longton's possession, and he will propably
be charged with the burglary at that place.
Harry Green, Longton's pal, was also ar
rested yesterday by Detectives Hoy and Nor
riszey at the residence of a Mrs. Parker,
1903 Jackson street northeast. Unlike his al
legged companion in crime, Green made no
resistance when the officers made their ap-
pearance.
The detectives searched the house where
Green was found and recovered consider
able quantity Of silverware thought to have
been taken from different residences about
the city. portion Of the goods bore the
initials 'G. L., and the rest was marked
L." stack Of encyclopedias and law
books was also found in Green's room. The
detectives claim that these books were stol-
en- from a. school house at Bloomington
Prairie. Although Green protested at the
station that he had never a..'stuck anybody
up he will have difficulty III explaining the
presence of a pile of empty pocketbooks
found in a closet of the house. The detectives
believe that he and Longtop are responsible
for number of hold7up episodes, as we'll

ALTGELD'S AID FOR HANEY.
1T Was Secured by the Latter's
BrOther-fn-Lavv.

BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Dec. 3o.-Gov. Alt
geld's order resembling Haneys extradition
was the direct result of visit to Springfield
of Rev. George r. Palmer, a brother-in-law
of Haney, who spent all day Saturday at the
capitol urging Gov Altgeld to take the &C
ton which results in Haney's release.
Mr.. Palmer is a superannuated minister
with strong powers of persuasion. He set
forth to the governor that the law of requt-
sition was an act Of congress and ought not
to be made operative to endanger a mans
life. He also stated to the governor that the
presence here of as many as five Minneapolis
men at one time was greatly worrying Haney.
At the end Of the conversation Gov. Alt
geld said 1T looks like persecution. and ]
guess I'll revoke the requisiton.''
Haney said today that he had given up all
idea of going to Mexico, but would start back
to Minneapolis and stay there till he lived
down the stain upon his reputation. He al
leges as a first cause Of all his trouble the
personal enmity Of Sheriff Holmberg, whom
he helped to defeat. 1t will be at least ten
days before Haney can depart.

A HOLIDAY DULLNESs.
1t Prevails In the Local Flour Mar
ket This Week.

The Northwestern Miller reports the -four
output last week at three centers as follows:
Minneapolis, 170,345 barrels; Superior Duluth,
81 200 barrels; Milwaukee. 26,S75 barrels; total,
22S, 420 barrels.
The output this week in Minneapolis will
be between 100000 and ITO, 900 barrels. The
two largest mills are down. The water pow
er is exceptionally good. The trade in flour
last week was pretty light, and Of a holiday
character. The most encouraging feature was
that foreigners continued in the market to
the extent of placing order here and there,
chiefly for patent, and, in the aggregate the
export sales showed up favorably, consider
ing that importers are usually expected to be
entirely out of the market at holiday time.
Clear and low grade are still regarded as
relatively higher than patent, and are taken
but sparingly for export. Little or nothing
is done on the continent, from this cause, the
transactions being practically all with the
United Kingdom. Millers have more or less
clear and low grade to offer, and are inclined
to shade prices to move them. Domestic
trade has been very light, buyers evidently
preferring to close up their business for the
year before adding much to the limited stocks
on hand. Export shipments were So 800 bar
rels, against 3d. 50 week before; $1,000 in
1895, and $500 in 1894. Bran is a shade
stronger owing to exports and better West
ern demand but middlngs are dull and red
dog is weak and in no demand.

Scandal Creditors Protest.

The petition for receiver for the Scandal
bank, filed by Helga Wettergren, was to
have come before Judge Smith, but as Judge
Beiden had appointed John F. Byers, on a
subsequent petition, Judge Smith was not
at hand, and about a hundred Of Scandal
bank depositors were clamoring at his doors,
trying to force the matter to issue.
These depositors objected to Mr.. Byers
as a receiver, and appointed a committee
to wait on Judge Belden and induce him to
reconsider his appointment. Judge Belden
told the committee that the depositors need
have no fear. He would see to it that mat
tiers were carried to a conclusion as rapidly
as possible, and that nothing would be done
that he did not personally oversee. The
committee and the depositors were satisfied
and left the court house.
The depoSitors of the bank held an infor-
NAL meeting in the Railways of the court
house, and a meeting was arranged for the
depositors, to be held at 1906 Franklin ave-
nue., Thursday evening.

CLOSE WATCH ON HANEY.
HO1mbcrg Determined He Shall Not
Escape,

There was some very mysterious hurry
ing around between the Offices of the county
attorney and the sheriff last evening, and
while 1t goin on, Joel B. Bassett came
uty Sheriff Megaarden. None of the parties
would give any information as to what the
arrangements were which were being per-
fected, but it is apparent that the plans are
being made for the serving of papers upon
City Clerk Haney, unles reports are such
as to absolutely lead the officials to believe
that his health is in such shape that he
cannot be in condition to be removed. They
do not wish to prosecute the man, but they
do insist that he shall not escape them They
still believe that he will come back to Min
neapolis, as he has arranged for, and that
the removal Of the espionage at Normal was
only to have him relieved from his ner-
vousness. which was more aggravated while
he was under charge.
