(Madison, Is. d. Outlook.)

While Ole Frislie and H. Larson we're
in Madison the other day, Ole Gjevre of
Soper, Cavalier county, N. D., and Peter
Flaskerud of Ruthland, S. D. dropped in
on the Frislie family for visit. Mr..
Gjevre was one of Frislie's pupils in
Minnehaha Co., 16 years ago and they
haven't met since, go Mrs. Frislie and
Mrs. Larson laid a joke on Mr.. Frislie by
introducing him to Mr.. w. H. Harvey,
having first hid Mr.. Flaskerud. Mr..
Frislie was elated to meet so distinguish
ed person and then Mr.. Flaskerud
entered and they introduced him as Mr..
Pryan, which made the matter look diff.
ferent and the real man identified and it
is needless to say that Frislie was still
more elated than if it had been Mr..
Harvey and they had social visit talk
ing over old times etc., and finally their
talk drifted to politics and as Mr.. Gjevre is
staunch republican and we'll posted in
his creed u debate took place that lasted

Joseph Richaud, residing near Leroy,
was killed last Wednesday by the sup
posed accidental discharge of shotgun
in his own hands. He lived Oh farm
with two other men, and on the day of
the shooting prepared the midday meal
as usual, after eating which the two
other men returned to the fields to
work. On their return to supper in the
evening Richaud's friends found the
body near the house. Life was extinct.
The charge of the gun had entered the
floating ribs, tearing frightful cash and
partially disemboweling the man. The
accident was Immediately reported, and
from the habits of the deceased and
general circumstances it is thought his
death was the result of an accident.

(St. Thomas Tirnes.)

A very interesting case was up for
hearing at Pembina last week in which
Howard R. Vaughn is plaintiff and H.
A. Mayo, defendant Both litigants are
residents of Walhalla The controversy
grows out of title to the possession of
a section If land west of Walhalla.
Mayo is in possession under lease, and
Vaughn seeks to oust him and sets up
title under deed issued to him in 1871.
The land was allotted by the government
to Tlb ish-co.get-skig, (night opposed to

tribe, who in turn gave it to his son of
same name by young Tib-ish-co ge.shig
nearly thirty years ago, but he now dis
claims having made the deed and has
leased the property to Mayo. The court
was occupied during its sittings Friday
and Saturday in taking lestlmoney.
Charles Cavalier, one of the Oldest white
settlers in this state was a witness. A
great deal of testimony was taken in the
form of depositions last summer, the
witnesses being Indians and much more
testimony will be taken before the matter
is submitted to the court.

CHEAP SHOWS BANlsHED.
The New License Boards Revokes tvs
Permits of TWO Front Street
Places of Resort.

The five-cent theatres on Front street
are no more.
For the past two or three months
these places of amusement, so-calaed,
have been in existence. They have al
lured passers-by and especially young
boys inside to see the wonders that were
to be seen on the payment of the admis-
sion fee of five cents.
But no longer will people be enticed by
flaming posters, second rate photographs
that have seen so much service, and
voluble mouthed "barEers," whose
business it was to stand at the entrance
and proclaim the attractions within.
1t has been a surprise that the places
have lasted so long as they have. The
city authorities got after them and at a
special meeting Of the new license conn
mission, Saturday afternoon, the licen-
ses were revoked.
Saturday afternoon saw the finish OF
the two places. In the evening the per-
formers who had the price, and the ma
nagers, got out of town and will prob
ably not invade the borders of Worces-
ter for some time. Those who did not
have the car fare, will depart as soon as
they can raise the cash.
1t was not the show itself, so much as
some of the surroundings and side
issues to which the license commission
objected. What actually took place up
on the improvised stages was not too
broad nor too immoral, but the atmos-
phere that pervaded the resorts was far
from elevating.
Some Of the female performers in the
shows have figured in sensational after
show acts that could not possibly be re-
ported in public print. Such things have
all reached the ears of the authorities.
who decided that Worcester was far
better off with the cheap performers
outside its limits.
The revoked licenses were issued to A.
w. Millard, Jr., who conducted the
Gaiety Theatre on the left hand side
of the street near the viaduct, and to P.
A. Staples, whose place was known as
the Nickleodeon, and was located at Ill
Front street, just below Salem square.
AS soon as the two managers learned
of the boards decision, they at once
made tracks for the city hall and there
sought out the chief of police and asked
him If there was no way in which mat
tiers could be patched up. Chief Dren-
nan informed them that they had but
one thing left and that was to appeal
to the mayor and board of aldermen.
They received so little encouragement,
however that they decided to give it up
and seek more congenal climes

JOINS THE COMBINE
Rogers Young Co. Absorbed By
the United States Biscuit Co.
M. D. GiIman's Retirement from the Local
Concern the Only Change to
Be Made.

The competition which TO: the past
few years has reigned in the cracker
business, has been brought to an end
by the formation of vast biscuit COM
bination, to be known as the United
States Biscuit Co., with capital of $780,
600 600, and headquarters in Chicago.
The feature of this transaction which
is of local interest, is the absorption of
the prosperous Rogers-Y Dung Biscuit
Co. This company was approached by
the agents Of the absorbing corporation
last November, the plant was inspected,
an offer made, and the negotiations
were finally brought to a close by the
sale of the 100000 capital of the local
company at handsome figure.
The immediate effects of this opera
ton have been a rise in the retail prices
of from to 20 per cent, which is, how
ever, not a just cause of complaint on
the part of the consumer, according to
the story of the managers of the COM
bine since the former prices We're in
many cases actually below the cost of
production. When the combine is COM
plete it is not expected that the retail
price will be changed materially, as the
economies resulting from the cenGraliZ-
alton of this vast industry, will make
the cost of production much lower than
under free competition. 1t will also not
be necessary to decrease the number of
employees of the local company because.
the factory will continue as heretofore
to be operated to its full capacity.
The only change in the official force
of the Rogers-Young Co. will be the re-
fi,.o,, - Nv ~ 4
vice president. Mr.. Gilman sold his con-
fectionery business to the Rogers
Young Company five years ago, and re-
entered the company only last Septem-
ber owing to the illness of Mr.. Young.
Mr.. Rogers. who will be local manager
of the new biscuit company has had a
very successful business career and
now, at the early age of 49, finds him
self in this excellent position He was
for several years travelling agent for
the old company, and built up an ac-I
qualntance in the trade which has since
proved of the greatest value. He is we'll
known in this city, having lived here
all his life and having also served two
terms in the city council, The hand
some and yet practical building at
present occupied by the company, is
largely the result Of Mr.. Rogers good
taste and business ability. In this
building about so barrels of flour are
used daily and between so and 10 tierces
of lard each month, together with other
supplies in proportion. It IS thought
that the new company will use as many
as 100000 barrels Of flour yearly, which
is at the rate Of 1000 daily
Mr.. Rogers is confident that the for
nation of this new combination win be
Of benefit to the consumer in every way.
It's aim win not be to increase the re-
tail price, but to make the profit from
Internal economies, which cannot but be
a benefit TO all concerned.

THOSE COURT HOUSE PLANS.
George I. lockwood Has Something t,
Say About the Competition.

To the Editor Of the Spy: Sir-An
item in a Worcester paper states that
there are 100 names on the Bovden
petition to change the court house plans
to the Boyden design, as desired NV
Chairman Taft of the commissioners
There 4re many prominent names on
the petition, including 10 LAWYERS rThera
seems TO be considerable feeling in tha
matter, and Mr.. Taft so strongly oh
jects to the accepted plans that he rs-
fuses to serve as chairman during tbe
time the building, as accepted. is bniIt ,
To the ordinary citizen this is a state
of affairs difficult to understand. and an
explanation is in order. Has # baaa
publicly suggested that the competition
under the terms Of which Mr.. Boyden
united with all the other comnetine
architects, at home and out of TOWN
in presenting plans was itself NOT 1epaI ;.
or has it been publicly denied that tha
commissioners mad the legal right n
pind themselves to its outcome2
If the commissioners had the leeal
tistit 10 institute the competition. and
II they gave the Boston architects the
right to enter it upon the same terms az
the Worcester architects, then how IS Il
now consistent with reason or common
sense FOR them to rescind their action
Doubtless the motives of the signers
OF the Boyden petition are good enough.
They wish Mr.. Boyden, a home archi-
tect OF high repute to be the designer of
the court house. But should they not
nave wished it before. rather than after
tine competition? l think most archi-
tects prefer to see honor observed in
such competitions rather than to secure
commissions at the price of honor

Worcester morning daily spy., 1898-01-16

With the reputation this city enjoys as
being live base ball town, and with
the interest that still attaches to the
national pastime here, despite the fact
that it has been many long years since
Worcester team was in existence, it
is surprising that another year has
come around without any local move
having been successfully made. I'm
doubtedly Pat Powers and the other
gentlemen of the Eastern League would
like to place a team in the heart Of the
commonwealth. and with equal certain
ty it might be said that once in good,
strong league, Worcester would hold
her own in point of attendance with any
city But the Eastern League oppor-
tunity has fallen through principally on
account of the inability to get suitable
grounds. There were places here
where the team might be located, but
to procure the grounds, it would have
been necessary to take lease for a
term of years, which was thing no one
cared to do.

The movements now being pushed for
a New England or for central Massa-
chusetts league team here, can result
only in failure. 1t is extremely doubt
full whether the comparatively small
amount of money required to start a
New England league team could be
raised by subscription. 1t is the gen
eral sentiment, although some will con-
tradict it, that Worcester does not want
the New England League article. A
salary limit team of $3.50 or even $1,000,
never has and never will play frst-class
ball. and unless that sort can be Of
fered, the attendance is bound to dwin-
die in very few weeks to a mere
handful of the faithful. 1t is the bust
ness men in every city who support the
team and go to the games, but they
won't go unless assured that they will
see a good game. Evenly matched
teams do not of necessity furnish inter-
esting baseball. The principal thing
to be said in favor of the New England
League is that it costs practically moth
ing to maintain a team, and that the
travelling eXpenses-it has been dubbed
the trolley league-are very small
Those who are most anxious for a New
England League team suggest the oval
as the place for playing the games. But
experience has demonstrated that those
grounds are too far removed from the
centre to make 1t possible to draw a
crowd six or even three days in the
week.

1t is unlikely that the base ball talk
in which local enthusiasts have been

as she has for several years past. The

valry is intense, although really moth
ing is involved. And yet, after all,
what is this for a base ball bill-of-fare
as compared with the table d'hote Of
fered in many less enterprising and less
populous cities? Springfield and Prov
idence, for instance, are getting as
good base ball as anybody wants in the
Eastern League, and Worcester, by ev-
cry argument, should be with them. On
the contrary, however, If Worcesterites
desire to witness a real league game,
they must travel down to Boston.
