SPORTING LIFE.
At the Grand Opera House, St. Pat

At the Grand Opera House. St. Paul.
sporting Life" which is announced
for presentation at the Grand next
week, is an English melodrama with
very elaborate scenic establishment
The play was written by Cecil Raleigh
and Seymour Hicks, London authors,
and is said to possess all the elements
of excitement, all the heart throbs, and
all the loves and hates indigenous to
plays of its character, in addition to
some entirely novel methods of stir
ring the human emotions. It is given
in five acts and no less than fourteen
scenes, and among them it is claimed,
will be found some of the most elabor-
ate stage pictures ever seen. During
it's long run in New York and Chicago
the magnitude of the scenic environ
ment was more frequently commented
upon than any other feature, and yet
the press Of. both cities were unani-
nous in pronouncing the play itself
a superior article of melodrama The
spirited boxing bout, and exciting race
course scene are two of the chief fea-
lures of the piece, and the first, at
least, is an innovation. To the unin-
itiated, the interior of a boxing club,
during the progress of a glove con-
test, with all its attendant features,
will come as genuine surprise, and

ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION.

Exploring Party Departs to Reach the
South Pole.
The International Meteorological
committee, which held it's last meeting
at st. Petersburg, gives an account of
the projected expedition to the south
pole, which will be under the direc-
ton OF Herr Won Drygalski. The expe-
dltion left at the end of August, 1901,
to go at once to the Cape of Good
Hope, stopping only to make sound
ings from time to time in the South
Atlantic. The eGuipage will be COM
pleted at that point, if necessary, and
the magnetic observations will, be be-
gun. From the Cape the expedition
will pass by Prince Edward and Crozet
islands to Kerguelen. where at least
one series of magnetic observations
will be made. During the sea voyage
meteorological observations will be
made every four hours and between
ll:3O a. m. and 1 p. m. a number of
temperature readings will be- taken,
so as to determine more exactly the
maximum temperature of the air above
the ocean. At Kerguelen it is proposed
to establish an auxiliary station, which
will contain a registering instrument
for magnetic variations, magnetome-
tiers and an thermometer, and meteoro-
logical observations will be made
there, using automatic registering in
struments, says the Scientific Ameri-
can. In November, 1901, the main par
ty will proceed eastward to 80 degrees
longitude, then to Termination island,
going from. there to the hypothetical
west coast Of Victoria land 1t is pro-
posed to establish there the principal
observing station which will be in OPP
GRAFTON from February, 1902, to the
same period of 1903 The return trip
is then to be made. In February 1903,
the expedition will proceed westward
toward Wedell sea, if possible, and
from there pass by Georgia toward
Tristan da Cunha Starting from Ker-
guelen, the magnetic and meteorolo-
gical observations will be made during
the trip. At the main station will be
No'e"oA1ohoo O. SoiIOiOIC oCL VI 1uo4 u
ments for magnetic variations and a
set for absolute magnetic measure
ments. From the station series Of
observation trips will be made in sleds
and magnetic readings will be taken
with the portable instruments. The
vessel carrying the expedition is con-
structed Of wood, with a complete rig
ring of sails and an auxiliary steam
engine. The latter, with it's access
series, will be placed in the rear, SO
as not to disturb the magnetic observ-
ations, which will be made on the cap
tain's bridge. The use of iron will be
avoided for a distance of six yards
around the observation posts.

The sheriff of Hennepin county since
January, 1899, Philip T. Megaarden is
conceded ITO be one of the best officials
that ever held that important position.
That Mr. Miegaarden, or "Phil," as he
is Familiarity known, should be a can
didate for reelection is very natural,
as it is in harmony with political ethics
to indorse a good official by giving
him a second term.
The sheriff's Office in Hennepin coun-
ry was never in better shape, and it's
business was never better in hand
than at present. The fact that every
thing soes on so smoothly here is due
largely to the personal supervision
given every detail in the Office by the
sheriff himself He is found at his
desk every week day, unless called
away on official duty, and his Office
hours are not based on banking hours
Besides being thoroughly familiar with
every department of the practical work
in this Office, Mr.. .Megaarden is an
attorney of distinguished ability, and
is able to decide quickly and in &C
cordance with the law any question

that may arise involving the rights of
the county or state and to act intelli-
gently on his own responsibility, in
stead of having to employ special
legal advice. In word, Phil is sheriff
in every sense of the word
Philip T. Megaarden was born in
Iowa, Oct. 2, 1854. He was the oldest
of seven children, and when his father
died in 1878, his studies were inter-
rupted and upon his young shoulders
devolved the responsibility of support
ing the family. One of the first jobs
in Minneapolis was driving a wood
cart. He lived in the south part of
the city and has many steadfast friends
in this part of the city, who have
watched his successful career through
the law school, his graduation and
political success with great interest.
THE APPEAL finds much to admire
in the sterling character of Phil Me-
garden. He is a self-made man and
one whose career is illustrative of what
perseverance and grit will win for a
young man in this country.

Justice Johnson, of ST. Paul, has Ge-
cided in the case of the Odd Fellows Re-~
view against John Gaffey, that If a slsb-
scriber desires to have paper discon-
hnued to his address, he must firset pay
the publisher the amount he owes for
subscription. and make request that
the paper be discontinued to his address.
The evidence in the case brought forth
the facts that Gaffey subscribed and paid
for the Review for one year and that
he continued to accept it after his sub
scription had expired. Later he changed
his address without notifying the pub
fisher. and claimed not to have received
the paper. This. the court held. was
through no fault of the publishers. who
received judgment for the amour due

later for many years as associated
with the late Godfrey Scheitlin- in the
Minnesota Linseed Oil Works. -. ..
Many Of our people have had or are

Mr.. Bell is president. a
The several hundred creditors of the
unfortunate City Bank know him as

his long and varied business career in
this community, and his successful
handling of large financial trusts, and
his standing as a man and a citizen,
fit him peculiarly for the very i'm
portant duties of the County Treasur-
er's Office.

One Of Bryan's Prophecies.

There was once a prophet named
William Jennings Bryan. He still is,
for that matter. but his prophecies
now provoke only an indulgent smile
where they once caused hearts to
quake once, in the rashness of his
misguided youth, he wrote book. 1t
is not fair to lay this up against him.
for he simply couldn't help it. any
more than he can help travelling,
travelling. travelling and talking. talk
ing. talking. He called this wonderful
book. The First Battle" and upon
page $50 there occurs this lurid and
soul-stirring prophecy:
The gold standard means dearer
money; dearer money means cheaper
property: cheaper property means
harder times; harder times means
more people out of work; more people
out of work means more people desti-
tute; more people destitute means
more people desperate; more desper-
ate people means more crime
1t makes interesting reading in the
light of subsequent events. When h
penned that inspired passage. Mr.. Bry-
an fondly believed that the adoption
of the gold standard was fully as re
mote as the annexation of Mars. But
rs usual he was mistaken. The Re
publican party has kept its pledge. and
the gold standard is firmly established
