Oshkosh, Wis., Jan. 21.—The National
manufacturing company, the alleged sash
and door trust, had their annual session
here, at which 30 members were present.
It was decided to quietly await the out-
come of Attorney General Mylrea’s action
to dissolve the trust. With this under-
standing the old officers were re-elected.
During the prayer meeting service at
the first Presbyterian church last eve-
ning, Messrs. C. H. Carringer and E. R.
Horton, who were on Sunday elected to
eldership by the church, were ordained.
Rev. H. L. Little conducted the ceremony,
being assisted by Rev. H. F. Olmstead.
AHEAD OF “THE PAY TRAIN.”
Mr. Dave Weis, late manager of the
Grand, yesterday intended to go tp New
York to take the management of a bur-
lesque company through the east, but to-
day he received a more tempting offer to
go ahead of “The Pay Train,” a popular
scenic melodrama, and has accepted.
“The Pay Train” is booked for the Grand
next Monday night.
Dave has recently had flattering offers
from several managers with whom he has
become’acquainted during his term at the

at once to see if anything could be done
for the man, but he was past human help
when Mr. Featherstone reached him.
“My son tells me,” toaid Mr. Feather-
stone, ‘that Kromer' was complaining of
feeling badly whpn he was in our office not
more than half an hour ago, but we had
no idea it was sp bad as this. He has been
employed by us over a year, and was a
good man, attending strictly to his busi-
ness at all times. Se must have left the
camp at Winnie on the late train last
night.”
Mr. Featherstone will look after the
burial.
BALDWIN-MELVILLE COMPANY.
The Baldwin-Melville company had to
turn people away from the Grand again
last night. Every seat and all the avail-
able standing room was sold early. The
bill was “Monte Cristo,” and the produc-
tion was quite satisfactory. Mr. Murdoch
enacted the part of Edmund Dantes in a
very acceptable manner and he was well
supported. The scenery was good, and
particularly, effective was the scene where
Dantes comes forth from the sea and ex-
claims: “The world is mine.” The costum-
ing was rich and evidences the fact that
Baldwin is prospering.
Tonight Milton Nobles’ “Phoenix” will
be given. It will be well to remember
that the curtain rises at 8 o'clock sharp
every night. Last night there were so
many late arrivals that even those who
came early lost the first act in the con-
fusion and noise of the arrivals and the
ushers.' The ushers would get .along just
as well by quietly turning seats down as
they do by slamming them, and the people
would be seated in half the time now con-
sumed if one of the ushers would stand
at the door and direct them to the proper
aisle. At least half the people wander to
the wrong side of the house.
Tire gallery god turned mentor last night
and rebuked what he thought a transgres-
sion in the matter of dress. The play was
somewhat interrupted, but Baldwin had
his revepge later in a threat to close the
gallery.
Houston Post.
The old spirit of speculation which prer
vailed in ths state a few years since, par-
ticularly in real estate, is still alive, it
would seem, and requires very little to fan
it into activity. The developments noted
in Galveston within the past day or so
furnish a case in point.
The purchase of ground by the govern-
ment for a fort on the gulf side of the west
end of the city has resulted in real estate
jumping “away up yonder.” The lands
have been held at low prices compared
with those now asked, and there have been
no takers. The moment it is understood a
fort is to be erected near them the lots
take a bound and a brisk demand for them
develops. It is argued that the fort will
prove a popular resort and that costly gov-
ernment improvements will be made and
the entire locality be benefited in conse-
quence. The fact shows that it is easy to
secure investments in real estate in our
Texas towns where permanent improve-
ments are assured.
But the main point of interest to the gen-
eral public is in the fact stated by The
Trbiune, that these government improve-
ments have created a stiffening in real
estate values all over the city of Galveston
and that real estate dealers are “feeling
better than they have felt in five years
past.”
Throughout this entire coast country at
this time the feeling is more hopeful and
promising than it has been for two or
three years. It only requires a little extra
effort now to accomplish decided results.

It appears that the legislature is seri-
ously entertaining the bill to prohibit Sun-
day base ball, foot ball and other like
games, which would include pretty near-
ly everything except singing and Bible
reading. Puritanism passed away a cen-
tury ago. Respect for the Sabbath is a
matter of religion, not of law, and peo-
ple can not be made religious by keeping
them indoors any more than horses can
be made to drink by leading them to
•water.
New York, N. Y., Jan. 21.—United States
Commissioner Shields has decided that Li
Foon, a Chinese boy who was arrested at
the Grand Central depot last September
charged with crossing the Canadian bor-
der at Malone, N. Y., without the proper
papers, will be sent back to his native
country. Li Foon, under the new law,
can not be returned to Canada, but must
be shipped from San Francisco to his na-
tive country. The transportation of the
lad across the continent and the expenses
of a couple of United States marshals
from here to San Francisco and back will
cost the government nearly $1600. Li Sung,
the alleged father of the boy, who is said
to be a laundryman in New York, is under
arrest.

Electrical Association Declares It is En-
tirely Impracticable.
Milwaukee, Wis., Jan. 21.—The North-
western electrical association at their
meeting here declared that municipal own-
ership of lighting plants was impractic-
able.
The report was accompanied by the fol-
lowing resolution, which it was stated
was not intended as a boycotting move
and which was adopted:
1. That the legislature should grant no
powers to municipalities to erect And
maintain lighting plants for general use
unless, where franchises have been given,
the owners of the same shall have been
remunerated as herein set forth.
2. That honorable manufacturers will
not sell to municipalities until these con-
ditions have been observed and central
station men can not afford to deal with
manufacturers showing themselves thus
dishonorable.
3. If we can not show to municipalities
that the business is unprofitable to a city
—including’, of course, the items of taxes,
lost interest on the investment, etc.—then
we should submit.

Business Men Keeping ah Eye on Vacant
Property.
There are quite a number of business
men in this city who spend much of their
time abroad and who have never invested
any in the island’s dirt. But recent de-
velopments have caused them to look
with favor upon Galveston realty and a
good many of them are figuring^upon
placing money on the good thing. One of
them this morning told a Tribune reporter
that he had serious designs upon some va-
cant lots and was going to become the
possessor of some of them in a few days.
And he said there are others.

There is a well defined purpose among
Democratic leaders in this state to con-
struct a general ballot law which shall ap-
ply the Australian system to rural as well
as to city elections, and among the pro-
visions in contemplation if not already
formulated is one to prohibit the presence
of a “scratching” judge in the booth with
the ignorant voter. That is, the voter
will be required to prepare his own ballot
Without the assistance of friends outside
or officers inside.
The effect of this provision will be to
set up an educational qualification, since
the voter will be left alone with his ballot.
It is said that investigation has been
made and the conclusion reached that this
would not conflict with the letter of the
state constitution, and thus without a con-
stitutional amendment the legislature
may effect ballot reforms that will put all
elections in the hands of intelligent voters.
Under such a provision the illiterate
voter could only make guesswork of his
ballot, but the probabilities are that if put
on notice by the enactment of such a law
he would contrive before the election to
sufficiently familiarize himself with
printed letters to be able to recognize on
the ballot sheet the names of his favorite
candidates.
Assuming that such a measure would be
constitutional, the prevision for excluding'
“scratching” judges from the booth has
much to commend it. There are few judges
who would not yield to the temptation to
influence an illiterate voter. It can be
done in such a covert way as to palliate
the offence even to the judge’s conscience.
In reading off the names of the candi-
dates for a given office, emphasis on one,
poor articulation of another or vocal in-
flection may easily and unconsciously af-
fect the voter’s choice.
To require two “scratching” judges to
enter the booth with the voter as a pre-
caution against fraud must be at the ex-
pense of time or of cost in multiplying the
judges.

A northwestern electrical association,
composed of lighting corporations, as-
sumes to say that municipal lighting is a
failure, and says it in such a, solemn way
as to increase the humor of such a sug-
gestion from such a source.
Haunted by fear of detection and arrest,
William F. Krueger, late of company B,
18th United States infantry, went to the
office of Chief of Police Jones this morn-
ing and asked that he be taken into cus-
tody and sent back to his command for
trial.
There was no reason to doubt the man’s
story that he was a deserter. Questions
soon brought from him answers which
showed him to be familiar with life in the
army and he was placed under arrest.
The 18th infantry is now stationed at Fort
Sam Houston, near San Antonio, and the
commander of the post will be eoaamuni-
cated with.
Krueger is a rather bright yo’jag fellow,
and after a little persuading, consented to
tell his story.
“I am a little past 29 years of age,” said
he, “and have spent seven years and a half
in the army. My home was in Cincinnati
and I first enlisted in troop F of the 5th
cavalry. After my first enlistment was
out I went home for a while and then re-
enlisted in the 18th infantry. I was at-
tached to company B, and my troubles
soon commenced. A sergeant and a cor-
poral did not take kindly to me, and when
a private incurs the dislike of his non-
commisisoned officers he suffers a thou-
sand petty persecutions.of which the world
outside the army knows nothing. For
instance, while in the ranks the sergeant
who acted as file closer would call out my
name and call attention to the fact that
my heels were perhaps an eighth of an
inch apart. This would of course attract
the notice of the captain and I would
catch it. This might not look like much to
a citizen, but it is a whole lot to a soldier.
At other times when there was dirty work
to be done in quarters it always fell to my
lot or to one of two other equally marked
men in the company. I stood this thing
until I could stand it no longer, and last
Friday made up my mind to desert. That
was easy enough, and I left.
“Why didn’t I apply for redress to the
commanding officer? Why that would
have done no good. He would have upheld
his non-commissioned officers and I would
have gotten the worst of it all around.
But my desertion may help the boys who
are left. I shall probably get a year, or
at most 18 months, imprisonment, and lose
all pay for this, but then I will be out of it
and will be free again.”
Krueger then went on to tell of how he
came to Galveston, hoping to get work.
But every man who looked at him he
feared would betray him to the police and
he momentarily expected to be arrested.
This fear grew to haunt him so that he
finally went to the police and surrendered
just to escape the constant and ever pres-
ent dread that they would find him out.
“I could never go back home where my
friends are,” said he, “with this thing
hanging over me, so I just made a clean
breast of it and will serve such sentence-
as I may get. Even such service, with no
pay, will be preferable to further submis-
sion to the persecutions which befell me.”
Krueger takes his situation philosoph-
ically and declares he is not a bit sorry he
took the step which will in all probability
deprive him of his liberty for a year or
more.

and Representative Baird, the public is
learning something of the hocus pocus of
unanimous elections.
The Texas legislature has done nothing
yet to confirm the belief that it would be
a business body, though some hope re-
mains that it may soon settle down to
commonsense basis and move along at
steady pace.
The house has passed to engrossment a
bill to prohibit Sunday base ball games,
which is but a form of Puritanism that
can not possibly cure the evils of Sunday
sports at which it is aimed, because it will
curtail innocent outdoor amusements and
so fall into disfavor and contempt. This
has been the universal experience with
such overreaching legislation.
Bills have been introduced to establish
state banks, to appropriate money for a.
private orphans’ asylum and to attempt
other impossible and unconstitutional
schemes, all of which go to show that
■wildcat notions have not been eradicated,
by the late disasters which followed their
previous exploitation in legislative halls.
If the Texas legislature contains a good
majority of sensible men, this majority
•will do well to bury all such nonsense in
committees, where it will not absorb the
time of the body or weary the patience of
the public.

A DISTINGUISHED ENGINEER.
St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 21.—Col. F. B. Moult-
on, one of the prominent civil engineers in
the west, is dead, aged 87 years. Col.
Moulton was born in Boston, Mass., in
1S10. In 1828 he entered West Point as a
cadet. He completed his studies qnd be-
came engineer of the Chesapeake and
Ohio canal constructed on the left bank or
the Potomac from Georgetown to'Cumber-
land, this being the first and most impor-
tant canal built in this country.
In 1836 Col. Moulton constructed the
Lexington and Frankfort railroad, of
which Henry Clay was president. He was
afterwards chief engineer of the Iron
Mountain railroad, now a part of the Wa-
bash system. He located and constructed
its northern branch to the city which
bears his name. About 20 years ago Coi.
Moulton retired from the active practice
of his profession, but was frequently
called in to consult with other engineers.

Previous week
Minneapolis—The production is
lighter than a year ago owing to the dull
market. Mills are grinding at the
rate of 34,000 barrels daily. Sales of
flour last week were 180,000 barrels
Exports were not as large or as good as a
few weeks back. Foreigners are taking
patents straight, chiefly with lower grades
relatively higher. Domestic trade is light,
eastern stocks evidently having been
heavier than supposed. Prices are held
about the same except that lower ocean
rates are permitting some reduction in ex-
port flour. Inland rates are considered
shaky. Flour exports last week, 52,100
barrels against 64,100 week before, 81,700 in
1896 and 19,300 in 1895. Bran is sold ahead
and comparatively strong.
Duluth-Superior—Last week’s production
was small, few mills running. Trade was
unsatisfactory, both at home and abroad.
Southwest—Considerable business was
done and practically all abroad, and with
Cuban sales generally at a steady price.
Valley of the Ohio—Offers were few and
at very low prices and not many of them
were accepted.
Milwaukee—Somewhat more flour was
made, but trade was slow, owing to the
firm view of millers.
Buenos Ayres—According to the latest
reports locusts have done less damage in
Argentina than was feared and an export
surplus of 36,000,000 to 45,000,000 bushels of
wheat was expected.
Chicago—Dealers and handlers generally
seemed to be quite well supplied with
patent, but ther was a moderate demand
for clears, which was scarce.

Settlers Pouring Into Alabama, Georgia
and Tennessee.
Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 21.—Since the
first of January there has been a marked
increase in the tide of immigration. This
movement extends from the Ohio river to
the gulf. It is limited to no particular
section, but the majority of home seekers
appear to be locating in northern Ala-
bama, Georgia and Tennessee. The. new
settlers come principally from the north-
west.
The practical result of this colonization
is manifest in various sections. Trade or-
ganizations are giving particular attention
to this business, and it is evident there
soon will be united action in the south
looking to close trade relations with the
northwest. An association of leading
business men of this city, Montgomery,
Nashville and other points has just ar-
ranged for a permanent southern bureau
in Chicago. An office will be opened at
the Great Northern hotel, Chicago. It is
proposed to co-operate in promoting the
Tennessee centennial, which will attract
many people to the south. Arrangements
of-
the
the
of the northwest to the
more extensive
commercial and industrial relations with
the south.

William Kromer, white, aged 39, and a
native of Sandusky, O., was stricken while
in a Denver resurvey car this morning at
10.15 o’clock and died in a few minutes
after being removed to the drug store at
the corner of 37th and Broadway. An
inquest will be held to determine the cause
of death.
Kromer’s home was in Sandusky, where
he has a father and brothers and sisters
living. He has been here several years
and for a year or more has been employed
off and on by the Gulf and Interstate rail-
way. Lately he has been employed in the
grading camp at Winnie, driving a grader.
Last night he left the camp and came to
Galveston. This morning he met his friend,
R. J. Cunningham, who resides at 43d and
T. He has been living at Cunningham’s
place and told him he was sick, complain-
ing of pains in his chest. The two went to
the office of the Gulf and Interstate,
where Kromer was to draw the pay com-
ing to him. Secretary Featherstone was
not in the office at the time and Kromei
asked Cunningham if he had car fare to
take him out to Cunningham’s home. The
latter produced the car fare and the two
took Denver resurvey car No. 6 at the
corner of Center and Church. Kromer
was still complaining of the pains in his
chest, and at the corner of 35th and
Broadwa.y he commenced to breathe heav-
ily and half slid from his seat. Conductor
Loeper of the car suggested that the man
seemed very ill and that it would be a
good idea to take him to the drug store
corner of 37th and Broadway. Cunning-
ham thought so, too, and was working
with Kromer, who he thought had a fit.
In a few moments the car reached the
corner of 37th street and the man was car-
ried by Conductor Loeper and his friend
Cunningham into the drug store. He was
still breathing l^eavily when he was laid
on the floor a^d a doctor hastily sum-
moned, but before the physician got to
him the man h^d breathed his last. He
lived about two- or3 tl^ree minutes after
reaching the drug„stoye.
The police and coroner were at once no-
tified and the remains were taken in
charge by an unkertakfer.
