HAMLINE ATHLETES WIN.
Easily Defeat Carleton In the Inter-
collegiate Field Day Contests.


Hamline University met Carleton col
lege In an Intercollegiate field day yes
terday afternoon at the state fair grounds
and walked away with everything in
sight, winning with a percentage of "a as
against Cartoons A. The red and gray
of Hamline had fine bunch of firsts to
their credit at the end of the sports pro-
gramme. while Cartoons maize was
sadly draggled, though spirited effort
wa sput forth. The days events proved
that Carleton was outclassed at almost
every point. The university boys won
eleven firsts while Carleton came off
with three.
During the early part of the afternoon
a stin breeze along the track interfered
with the foot and bicycle races. The
closing events OF the programme, how
ever, were pulled off under favorable
weather conditions. The track and field
was In excellent shape and an enthusi-
astic crowd OF rooters lined the course.
Inc Carleton athletes borught a delega-
tlon with them, but were unable to win
Many of the athletes showed I'D in fine
form, however, and Lundeen's work was
loudly applauded. Jacobson, Lasby and
HalS. OF the visitors, were also favorites.
Inc feature of the days sport was the
half mile bicycle race, won by Ham.
Crist, Of Hamline. Six starters lined up
at the tape and the race was close until

FOUGHT WITH ROOsEyELT.
But Ole G. Olson Couldn't Even Make
His Attorney Believe 1t. .,.-,


The rather unusual spectacle Of
counsel deserving the testimony Of his
own client was presented in Judge Lewis
court yesterday during the trial Of Ole
Charles Oleson on a charge of grand lar
ceny. Apparently the attorney was taken
at his word, because the jury brought in
a verdict of guilty after a half hour of
elaboration.
Oleson was indicted for the larceny of a
bicycle valued at $50 and the property of
Charles J. Void. The alleged offense was
committed on May IL. Void testified that
he was in the employ of DampIer, the
undertaken, and left his bicycle in the
hallway on the evening OF the theft.
When he came out he discovered that the
wheel had disappeared. Other witnesses
testified that Oleson had gone to Forest
Lake on the following day with a bicy-
Gle with broken chain, which he offered
Tor sale at any price. The wheel was
Identified and then Oleson was placed on
the stand in his own behalf
The defendant declared that he was
born in Denmark twenty years ago, and
that he had served eight months In the
Wisconsin reform school. Then under the
questioning of his attorney, George w.
Walsh, the defendant drifted around to
the subject of war. He had, he testified,
been in New York at the outbreak of the
patriotism had enlisted in Roosevelt's
rough riders. whom he accompanied to
Cuba. Stricken by yellow fever, he lay
in the hospital during the fighting at
Santiago and subsequently came back
with the regiment to Montauk point and
was mustered out with the rough riders.
On cross-examination Oleson gave many
details Of the Cuban campaign.
I'VE were camped next to the Seventh
Minnesota" he said graphically.
AT the afternoon session Assistant
County Attorney Zollman, who conducted
the prosecution, placed Capt. Steele, who
served on Gen. Wheeler's staff, and J.
Schneider, former member of the ensi-
neering corps, on the stand. Their details
of the condition prevailing at Santiago
at the time when Oleson claimed to be
there varied substantially from the story
told by Oleson, and Attorney Walsh look
ed disguised.
Il think this mans mind Is not right"
he said In summing up to the jury at
don't believe his story, but I think he
believes 1t himself. He lost two broth
ers at San Juan hill, and since imagines
that he was present at the battle
The jury retired about p. m. and rem
dered the verdict Of guilty a half hour
later.

Personal DAMAGE SUIT.
Christina Fryckberg's Actfo
Against the City on Trial.


The case of Christina Fryckberg
against the city and the Northwestern
Telephone Exchange company came up
for trial yesterday before Judge Brill in
district court, and the day was spent
in arguing a motion of the defendant
to dismiss the ground that the notice
served was not sufficient The matter
was taken under advisement by the
court.
The plaintiff claims that about Nov.
1, 1898, the telephone company had been
painting lot of poles. at Seventh and
Chestnut streets, and that the paint was
carelessly spilled on the sidewalk and
allowed to spread over the walk where
1t hardened with a slippery surface rem
dering the walk unsafe. It Is alleged
that the city was aware of the condi-
tiCn of the place. but failed to have the
sidewalk cleaned Off
On Dec. IS. 1898. Mrs. Fryckberg. who
is fifty-six years old. slipped on the paint
ed sidewalk and sustained conclusion
of the brain and was badly broken up
generally. She asks for $4,000 and $500
as special damages.
It was urged by Corporation Counsel
Markham that the law required the serv-
Ice Of notice on the city within thirty
days from the time Of the action, and
that this time limit was exceeded.

intervals ON the public highway in the
Of these evils should at least be miti-
gated. And apparently the ladies of the
Second ward have set on foot the move
ment which will result in some regard
being had to the public rights in such
matters. The work is not to be done in
day, or without the opposition of those
who. in the pursuit of their private in
terests. have shown such an utter dis
regard of the rights of individuals and
of the general public. If we must have
advertising signs strew the public high
ways they ought at least to be of a
character which will not involve public
Disagreement. If we are to have rows
of poles on every other thoroughfare
We have the right to demand, while they
remain above ground. that they be made
somewhat less hideous than they are at
present.
Most men go along in the cities with
their eyes closed to their surroundings.
Many of them, when immersed in the
affairs of their daily lives, give no more
thought to the wrong that is involved
in the maintenance Of such unsightly
objects than they do to the objects them
selves. 1t is not so with the ladies.
Their senses are always on the alert,
and they feel the wrong and injury in
volved to themselves and to others. 1t
is peculiarly their sphere to find a rem
edy for public evils of this general char
acter That they have taken hold of the
matter in such solid earnest is a sub
ject of congratulation with every en-
lightened person.

INSULTING THE MAYOR.

1t would be difficult to recall another
instance in which the chief executive Of
ficer of a great city, endeavoring to dis
charge the duties of his office according
to his best understanding of the public
welfare, and, entirely regardful of the in
terests of his party. has been as con-
temptuously and unjustly treated by his
party associates as has the mayor of
this city, Hon. Andrew r. Kiefer.
1t was bad enough that the notorious
transaction regarding the recent attempt
to elect a city engineer by Republican
votes has been so represented by Repub-
lican politicians as to place all the dis
credit Of it on the shoulders of the
mayor; but the action of the Repub-
lican majority in the board of alder
men in repudiating the action of Re-
publican caucus and defeating the nomi-
nee of that caucus in order to put in
dignity on the mayor Surpasses the
ordinary understanding as to the
lengths to which personal malevolence
will drive men in political life Aid
knaufts defeat for president Of the
board represents the very limit of party
fngratitude and personal hostility
We look in vain for some adequate rea-
son for such a show of bitter dislike Of
his honor, the mayor. In the Republican
convention his nomination was brought
about by the devotion of his followers,
There was no unworthy act done on that
occasion by his supporters against the
opposition. Contests such as that which
attended his selection are usually ended
in the convention in which they take
place. Not so In this case. The oppo-
nents- of Mayor Biefer have acted really
not as political opponents. but as per-
sona enemies. In his appointments he
has. exercised the personal preference
which is the prerogative of all executive
officers He has appointed good Repub-
hcans m all cases. In no respect that
any one knows of has he shown any
lack of regard for his party's preferences
In making his appointments. Indeed the
fault to be found with Mayor I<iefer from
the standpoint of the GLOBE is that
he has been too strongly partisan In his
appointments. But evidently the inter
ests of the party are Of less account to
the enemies of the mayor than is the de-
sire to insult and discredit him.
1t will be strange If Mayor Kiefer's
friends do not resent such ungenerous
treatment. Can it be that the enemies
Of the mayor really represent the Re
publican voters of this city, and that he
Is of no more Importance in his party
than that he can be treated with con-
tumely and insult on every available oc-
casion? That is a question of course
which the G o b does not regard itself
as competent to pass on. The immediate
future will we believe furnish an answer:
and unless we are entirely at fault in
our judgment of the mayors popularity
within his own party it will be decided
in manner that will surprise Mayor
Kiefer's enemies

GOVERNMENT WANTS TO MIX In

IoUS TO RUN THE THIRTEENTH
REGIMENT
Gov. Lind I. Vii acilned to Follow
Out the war i1epartment,s idea.
of PrOtmOtiOns--Standi by Col.
Ames and Col. Friedrich.

The war depat tnlagnt has taken an an
tagonistic attitude towards the appoint
ments made by Gov. Lind in the Thir-
teenth regiment and just at present
there is an estrangement which origi-
mated when Capt. Masterman was ap-
pointed to SUCCEED Maj. Diggies. Just
what the result will be would be hard
to forecast, but as the war department
and the Imperial administration has un-
limited power It may be that some of
the commissions issued by the governor
will be revoked.
For political reasons the war depart
ment would like to dictate the appoint
ment of all officers in the volunteer serv-
Ice, but Gov. Lind believes that the COM
missioned men should be advanced all
along the line when vacancies occur,
and has put his sentiments into effect
by issuing commissions accordingly. The
United States statute and constitution
allows the governor to- commission Off
GERS in the volunteer service at his dis
erection, but the war department has
ideas of It's own this subject, and
Geographic adyices from Washington
would indicate, if authentic, that an
effort will be made by the administra-
ticn to take the matter out of the gov
The governor insists that the regiment
is entitled to three majors, and it may
be that the department will use this as
an excuse for making trouble about the
two latest appointments made by Gov
Lind. namely the promotion of Capt
Masterman and Capt. Robinson to the
rank of major
Col. Ames and Lieut.. Friedrich are
both absent on sick leave, and Gov
Lind has had considerable correspond
ence on the subject. but has been un-
able to meet the views Of the war de-
partment, which wants both officers hon
orabiy discharged and other men put
in their place. Gov. Lind is of the opin-
mo- and his views are shared by many
interested in the regiment. that both
Col. Ames and Lieut. Col. Friedrich
should be allowed to return home in
nominal command. of the regiment. They
have served their. country well, and d.
rected the lighting. during the hottest
Of the campaign, and for that reason
at the close of the-war Gov. Lind takes
the ground that they should not be mis-
placed by otheE men at this late stage
Of the proceedings.
The developments Of the next few
days will be watched with interest, as
some action has been threatened by the
war department.

BISHOP wHIPPLE.

The occurrence of the fortieth ami
versary of the accession of Bishop Whip
pie to the episcopate was an event which
was very fittingly made an occasion for
general celebration. Aside from the spe-
cial significance which the event pos
sessed to the members of Bishop Whip
pies own church there is no public
spirited citizen of Minnesota who was
not found ready to participate, in
spirit at least, in doing honor to this
the cause of humanity as few men have.
Leaving behind him the grand opportuni-
ties of advancement in the ministry
which the Eastern section of the country
offered to him and which his career in the
ministry of the Episcopal faith had al
ready secured to him, he set his face,
forty years ago, toward a portion of his
country which was all but an unsettled
wilderness.
Those of our citizens who have ac-
quired wealth and distinction in indus
in the Northwest can fully appreciate the
grandeur of the undertaking of Bishop
Whipple, who was animated by no
thought of personal gain, but was acting
the uplifting of his fellow creatures. He
chose to cast his lot among the unhappy
natives. His work among them in that
forty years has endeared him not only
to them, but to his countrymen of every
station and religious creed. The high
character of his labor and sacrifices have
been recognized throughout the world.
and his fame is as widely extended and
on this. .-..- 81 a..st
Not only the growth of the city of
Faribault as an educational center, but
the growth and development OF the state,
and, indeed. of the entire Northwest
bear testimony to the nobility Of Bishop
Whipple,s life work. When there stood
no Christian force between the Indian
and those who knew him only as an OBJ
ject Of plumber. Bishop Whipple con-
stituted himself the guardian Of the
helpless red man. The gratitude and love
which filled the breasts Of this unfor-
tunate race toward him give the lie to
much that has been urged against them.
What was possible to be done for their
reclamation and civilization he did. But
hand in hand with that work went his
labors in his chosen field as a priest of
the Episcopal faith and today there Is
no man, no matter what his religious pro-
LESSONS may be, that will not bear his
testimony to the splendid services rem
dered by Bishop Whipple to the cause of
the Christian religion during the long
period of his active life in Minnesota.
