CAPTAIN FOR MILLERs.
Campau Selected by the Managers
of the minneapolis Club.

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-Two deals in players
were made by Western base ball league
magnates today. Detroit gave UP Beard and
frost in exchange for Buckley and Butler,
of Columbus, the exchange depending upon
the willingness of the players. The other
deal makes Campau captain of the Minneap-
oils club He Is released by Grand Rapids
in exchange for Roat and Eustace.
Absolutely no action has been taken in the
franchise matter. None of the applicants
was in much favor with the meeting. AS a
matter of fact the Arson bubble has caused
the delegates to be willing to linger for a
time At late hour last night while the
base ball men were still talking over the
business. it seemed entirely probable the
matter would be referred to a committee for
final action at the schedule meeting OF the
Western league in Kansas City, in February
This was on the authority of one of the
leading men Of the league. The league
wants Arson in the worst way. The league
will probably wait until 1t finds out definitely
II Il can get him.
A canvass of the delegates, while they
were not in the meeting, resulted in estab-
fishing the fact that Omaha was the one
place of all others thought the most adj
visable of selection by the league. 1t Is
a larger place in a base ball sense than any
of tte others, and many Of the men present
at rse meeting thought 10 mistake would be
made in that selection. Grand Rapids, while
known as great base ball place, is re-
garded as something of hoodoo, because
of the great amount of trouble the league
haze there last season. A large indebted
neLlJ had to be assumed by the league. That
place is regarded as having the least chance
of any of getting the franchise.
James McKee, the man who is pleading
for an Omaha franchise, was prominent in
base ball in 1874. He is thorough mana
ger, and would make an ideal man for the
league. He is travelling for Rockford shoe
house, and if he secures the franchise will
probably make Hugh Nicol his manager.

No, not now, that is a certainty. But

apart as Forefathers' day. and the Minnesota
Congregational club will duly celebrate the
same tomorrow evening, at o'clock, at the
First Congregational church, Minneapolis. The
invitations Of the club have always been
artistic and novel, but the one which appears
with this announcement Is unique among
them all. 1t was designed by Miss Mary
Cheney.

Eye most worthie friende" who receives the
invitation Is made to understand that the club

tended to join in the celebration at the First

SOME CHANGES IN PROSPECT.

There is no prospective vacancy on
the board of regents of the university,
the expiring members being Senator
c. K. Davis and Judge Greeleaf Clark,
both of whom, it is believed, will be
reappointed.
John H. Rich, of Red Wing, and
Chris Amundson, of ST. Peter, are the
members of the state board Of correc-
lions and charities whose terms expire.
On the board of managers Of the
state insane hospitals, President John
W. Mason, Of Fergus Falls, and DR.. C.
l.. Wells, of Minneapolis are the mem
bers whose time is out.
The lunacy commission, consisting of
Drs. H. W. Brazie, Of Minneapolis, l..
B. Collins, of st. Peter, and Charles
E. Riggs, of st. Paul, are all expiring
next month.
John Cooper's term on the board of
managers Of the reformatory is nearly
out, but his reappointment is looked
for
No change is due in the prison board.
The term Of the late John F. Norrish
would have expired next month any
way, and it is presumed that B. F. Mel
son, the new member, will be continued.
On the state board of health, how
ever, some changes are possible. There
are three terms expiring, those of Dl.
H. M. Bracken, of Minneapolis; Dr..
Henrik Nessen, of Albert Lea, and Dr.
Henry Hutchinson, of st. Paul. Only
one Of these places is directly profita-
bic, and that is the one for which
fight will be made, DR.. Bracken's snap
as secretary.
There is a similar number Of prospec-
tive vacancies on the state board of
son, Of Minneapolis: Thomas McDavitt,
and Justus Oh gt, Of st. Paul; DR.. Nc
DaVitt is secl tary Ct the board. DR..
Ohage has made an onvl2ble record on
it.
What is to be Gore about the case of
L. A. Haldi g, whose tenn On the
state board Of harnl3cy expires next
month, is a problem. Harding, himself
would like 10 stay, but the charges
against HIN have been 50 bitter, and +
well-foundeG, SCI ous, that it is coz
sidered in many quar;e;s very doubtful,
if the governor will grant hin this
favor. Harding now has libel suit
against one of the Minnea polls papers
pending, and it is possible that Gov.
Clough will hold the appointment in
allegiance until the suit comes to
trial.
The member Of the state dental board
whose term expires is DR.. L. c. Daven-
port, Of Moorhead.
Besides these board appointments,
there is vacancy in the probate JUICE

SONG AND sTEREoPTICoN
Combine In Praise Service at the
Peoples Church.

Quite a novel and interesting feature
was introduced in the services at the
Peoples church last evening. 1t was
called "a Christmas Stereopticon Song
Service" and was given before an au-
dience which we'll filled the spacious
auditorium. Rev. S. G.. Smith explained
the pictures which were repres entations
Of the paintings in the historical art
galleries of the old world Of the Ma
donna and Christ Child and scenes in
the life of Christ. Sandwiched in be-
tween these products of the old mas
ters and scenes in Palestine, which
were also shown, were the words and
scores of familiar hymns which the au
dience joined the octette in singing.
Before the singing of each hymn, DR..
Smith gave sketch of the author and
a history of the hymn, many of them
proving very interesting. The speaker
thought the modern paintings Of the
Madonna and the Christ Child We're
even better than those of the old mas
tiers, of which copies were distributed
over the world. He thought those be-
longing to the older period were almost
too conventional. One Of the pictures
shown. was the Madonna with the
Saints, by Botticelli, in the old gallery
at Florence, which he thought was only
second to the Madonna as painted by
Won Bodenhausen, and exhibited in the
same gallery.

saltwater Bill Takes but u Week
for COurtship.


saltwater Bill' Is married, says
the San Francisco Examiner.
He made acquaintance of his wife a
week ago yesterday, was engaged to
her on Friday, apd married her on
Saturday. Now the Baldwin hotel
register bears the entry, "Mr. and
Mrs w. c. Gates and maid"
The wedding took place in the apart
ment adjoining Justice Barry's court
room at o'clock on Saturday even
ing. The justice was the celebrant.
The certificate shows that w. C. Gates,
twenty eight years old, and Miss Ora
Gle Busch, twenty-one years old, the
former of Dawson City, the latter Of
San Francisco, had obtained the nee
essary license.
The bride is a sister of the Dawson
City dancer, Miss Gussie La More, at
whose feet this same saltwater Bill'
placed kerosene can containing $780,
900 in dust and asked her to marry
him. The dancer was coy. She prom
Used to answer the ardent miner in the
spring.
Now, while the dancer Is preparing
to toss her toes skyward before New
York audiences, her sister, who never
faced an audience from behind the
footlights, signs herself Mrs. w. c.
Gates.
''Mr. saltwater, my husband, was
asked by my sister to call when he
came down from the Klondike, and
saw him for the first time last Satur-
day." said Mrs. Gates, last evening.
"Gussie has gone on to New York OF
course I knew who Mr.. saltwater
was, and I liked him as soon as I saw
him. I suppose he liked me, too, just
a little. He gave Gussie $4,000 in a
kerosene can, but she could not make
up her mind to marry him right off.
I don't believe in long engagements,
anyhow, and as I was never in love
before-though I have had plenty Of
real swell offers, as every one knows
I made UP my mind I would marry
him as soon as he wanted me to-
'I think when a man makes up his
mind to do a thing he should do it as
soon as he can" said Mr.. Gates. ST
never knew how much I loved Gussie
La More until I met her sister, and I
love her more still. There was moth
ing to prevent our getting married,
and as we were both of one mind we
got married"
