A TALL TIGER.
1Ae Way the Sleek Brute Impressed
AN Excited Erenchman.


an Excited Frenchman.
Tigers are impressive creatures, es.
pccially when one meets them In the
forest. George Maxwell writes of
them: "There Is little doubt that al-
most every one has u peculiar sensa-
t!oa Of the almost godlike beauty, pow
sr. activity and strength Of tiger. A
tiger will overawe and make conscious
of his inferlority n man who would be
unaffected by the bulk Of an elephant.
The feeling Is, however, elusive OF. de-
scription, and l can perhaps best ex!
plain 1t In the words,of a most chaftn
Ing French gentleman who! was oncs
manager Of great tin mining com.
pany in Pernk. We had Just finished
lunch when he entered In a, state Of
tremendous excitement Walking alone
and unarmed along nm unfreQuented
bride path through the forest, he had
walked almost on to tiger.
"He gave us a most vivid narrative
Of the eneounter-how the tiger had
been lying down concealed in some
long lalang grass beside the path; how
he was within ten yards of 1t before
he saw 1t; how then 1t rose and looked
at him; how 1t yawnsd at him; how 1t
then walked slowly across the path In
front Of him and then stopped and
looked at him, again yawning, and how
1t then deliberately walked away into
the forest, whose depths finally hid 1t
from view.
Some one asked tho Frenchman
whether 1t was q big tiger He an.
swered: Well, messieurs, ! cannot say
II he Is a big tiger. Ny eyes see that
he is big, but l cannot say how big i
see him to be, and II say how big 1t
is perhaps that tell you a lie. But
can tell you. messieurs. how big feel
him to be, and can tell you the truth.
When he is standing there in front Of
me 1 tell you that feel he Is not less

Too bad Danville's opera house
is closed to the public. This once
prided "play house." that not many
years ago compared with any in the
State, is now being neglected and it
will not be very long until it will be
considered too far out-of date to COM
pare with the new one that is sure to
be erected by some progressive party
or parties. A fine, attractive house

FLOWING FOAM FILLED
FACULTY WITH HORROR

Madison, Wis, April 9.-Dick Remp, for four
years center on the Wisconsin team. gave a fare
well entertainment to his friends Saturday night
which will remain unique amog the social func-
lions of the badger university for some time.
1t was a clarke kommer,'' a form Of entertain
ment common enough in the German universities
but new to this part of the world. The faculty
was represented among those present, but this
part Of the session was impromptu.
Songs and stems, the latter filed with Ger
man bubbles donated by the La Crosse Brew
ing company, whiled away the hours and the
merriment was at its height when Professor e.
A. Birge, dean of the college of letters and
sciences, and Professor Augustus Trowbridge,
the room. The unexpected visitation caused some
conversation among the jewellers, but while the
pedagogs stood astonished at the sight of the
flowing foam and the t'Gead soldiers Remp rose
to his feet and welcomed them with a bow.
"Mr. Remp,'' said Dean Birge sternly, "fH
see you at my office at IL o'clock tomorrow
morning"
you'll do nothing of the kind was the
prompt response. 'tWe have had our last disci-
Lplinary interview. If you gentlemen wish to re-
main as my guests you are more than welcome,
but If you are here to interfere, I would call
your attention to the door behind YOU"
After taking a quick glance over the assembled
| students the professors departed, leaving a de.
cided chill behind them. The guests at the
| gathering are entertaining some fear that they
will be made the objects of faculty discipline
| for attending.

GAS COMPROMISE LIKELY
INDICATIONS ARE THAT COM
PANY WILL OFFER LOWER BUT
NOT 8O-CENT RATE.

An answer from the Minneapolis Gas
Light company to the demand of the
city council for a reduction in the price
OF gas to 80 cents a thousand cubic feet
was expected today at a meeting of the
special committee appointed to take
charge Of the matter.
= When the committee held it's first
meeting a fortnight ago, the gas com
pany asked for a p~ostponement of the
conference for two weeks, as the prin-
cipal officers of the committee were out
OF the city and would not be back for
some time. President Alonzo r. Rand
is in the city and was expected at the
meeting of. the committee. .a
1t has been intimated for several
weeks that the company would meet
the demand of the city council by an
offer OF a compromise rather than take
a position which would force arbitra.
tfon proceedings as provided by law in
the event Of a dispute. It is conceded
that arbitration might not result in 90
cent gas and the aldermen are believed
to be willing to abandon arbitration,
provided the company is willing to
make a substantial: reduction to the
city and private consumers.
There will probably be no furthe,
hitch in the payment of the claim fol

Street Lighting company. Both Nav
or Jones and Controller Brown have
taken legal advice and find that mas
much as all the proceedings Of the coun
Gil have been legally Transacted. there
is no ground upon which a refusal t.

tanned. The price for i~ncandescen1

MACLEOD TELLS
Of IMMIGRATION
ROADS CARRY MORE AND MAKE
MORE MONEY.
Total Foreigners Coming into United
States Thru Various Ports Totals
1,053,575 as Against s06,598 for Pre-
vious Year-Minnesota Gets 1888,
Wisconsin 11,70O, Illinois sos.

Complete statements regarding immi-
grafton thru all ports show that the
western immigrant bureau had it's most
prosperous season last year. Mlnneso-
ia received 1888 Of the immigrants.
Chairman 3. E. Macleod reports for
entries at the Atlantic, Pacific, gulf,
and thru Canda, and shows destination,
nationality, percentage OF sex and in
fants, as well as the professions and
trades Of the new peoples, as'well as
other interesting facts.
Twenty-three roads from the bureau
and their aggregate revenue from carry
ing 82,362 immigrants west from Chi
cago amounted to $9sl,474. The total
Of immigrants entering thru all ports
was 1,O53,575, IS against 806,598 for the
year previous. The number carried by
the western roads in 1905 was not SO
great as in 1908, when S6,257 were
transported. The net revenue, how
ever, was larger in 1905 than in 1903,
due mainly to the fact that commits
sions were less. : In 1903 the railroads
received $~1,030,3O1 for immigrant traf-
fc, but they paid $161,176 for commits
sions, whereas they paid but $91,94
last year. The decrease in commission
is due mainly to the settlement Of the
fight between the railroads and Peter
Mcdonnell, who is now working for all
the lines. +,
It is noted that the immigration thru
the Atlantic ports increased from 769,,
842 to l,0l9 1873; that thru the gulf
ports the increase was from 1929 to
1S,201, and thru the, PACIFIC ports the
decrease was fFQmh 29 1877 to 16,O41: It
