CAPTAIN MYERSS REPUTATION.
The Secretary's Statement that He Was In
dOrsed Shown To Be Incorrect

In the News of last evening is the following
paragraph:
Captain ". r. Myers Secretary of State SAYS that
the special in the Journal this morning from Ander-
SON. which states that the Madison county Democrat
&c convention refused to indorse his official acts and to
instruct for him for denomination, is false DuEing
the forenoon session resolution adopted indoors
ing him as well as Congressman Ward. The conven-
ton decided that it impolc to instruct for any
one.
The following is portion of the proceedings
of the Madison county Democratic convention,
taken from the Anderson Herald:
''Netterville bobbed up and offered resolution in
dorsing every official act of Hon. W. r. Myers wheth
er as congressman or Secretary of State and in
STRUGGLING delegates to the State convention to support
him for nomination, should he be candidate. This,
very unexpectedly to the Captains admirers, was a
red rag thrown in the bulls face and instantly the
convention became uproarous and unmanageable.
Fleming leader of the opposition and insisted that
the resolution should be referred Nettervile at first
consented to let much of the resolution pertaned
to the instruction of delegates be referred but de-
manded that the convention should pass at the
Endorsement of the gentlemanly writer of official let
ters. The opposition was memorable however, when
the mover of the resolution withdrew it the inter
est of harmony
IA motion by G. A. Henderson to indorse Congress-
Ward was referred.
Neither of the resolutions reported back to
the convention by the committee on resolutions"
Probably the News had better send another
commissioner" to Secretary of State Myers to
inquire as to his ''repudiation"
The Journals Anderson correspondent, in
response to a telegram requesting statement of
the facts, thus corroborates the Herald's report
of the conventions
''In the Democratic county convention, yes
terday, the following resolution was introduced
by j. j. Netterville secretary of the city Demo
cratic central committee:
Resolved, That the Democrats of Madison county,
in mass convention assembled hereby indorse every
official act of Hon. w r. Myers, both as member of
Congress and Secretary of the State of Indiana,
and instruct the delegates TO the State convention
support him, should he be candidate for renomna-
ton
Collection was raised, and the author of the
resolution agreed to strike out the paragraph in
structing delegates, but insisted upon the con-
vention indorsing his official acts but the oppo-
sition would not accede and after nearly an
hours wrangling, in which speeches pro and con
were made, the resolution was withdrawn"

The Polo Contest.

The match game of polo between the Terre
Haute and indianapolis clubs came off at the
Park Theater rink last night and the exciting
sport was enjoyed by an audience of about eight
hundred people. For the benefit of those who
do not understand the game it may be stated
that polo is the old fashioned game of shiny"
with trivial notifications, and it is probably
called polo because the players use poles and say
"Oh7 when they get nit with them The con-
test last night was the best three goals in FIVE,
and was won by the visitors The home club
won the first in 2 minutes and 80
seconds, and the third in Loo. The

kakee Martin for indianapolis, and D. H. Stew

Linn Pfaff as referee. The result of the contest
was generally satisfactory, for the visitors were
gentlemanly and quiet, while two members of
the home club treated them rather discourteous-
Iy. and were somewhat too oficious There were
D number of ladies and gentlemen ever from

ings of the mysterious power named some days
since He finds it still increasing and certainly
is truly wonderful in its potency to relieve all
kinds of diseases. At times the disease is re-

cures are rheumatism, sick headache, heart dis
ease, affections of the spine, bronchial trouble,
epilepsy. and stomach troubles No medicines
used. The treatment is by laying on of hands

CONRAD SCHMIDT.
Death of the Well Known Restaurateur
YESTERDAY.

After long and painful illness Mr.. Con-
rad Schmidt died yesterday morning about
the hour of o'clock. He was, without ex-
ception the best known and most highly
esteemed caterer in the city. For nearly
twenty years he was in business on west
Third street. and during all that time he was
noted for being courteous to all, scrupulously
honest in all his transactions, and his place
was notable for the superior quality of the
yiands dispensed, and came to be regarded
as the Delmonico's of St. Paul,
not from its superior fittings but for
the excellence and variety of the bill of fare
provided. He had no difficulty in securing
patronage, and it is a significant fact that
there are at least half score of our old set
tiers and substantial business men who, be-
coming patrons of his establishment nearly
two decades ago, have remained so continu-
ously up to the present time.
Early in December Mr.. Schmidt was pros
trated by a severe cold, which settled on his
lungs. He found himself able to rise from
his couch ON New Years day, and for a few
hours give his friends hearty welcome to
his annual spread of good things. For week
thereafter he was more or less about his place
of business, when he was compelled to return
to his bed for the last time. An examina-
ton developed the fact that
a cancer had developed in the esophagus,
and DR.. Stamm, his attending physician, at
once summoned council of his fellow ply
sicians. The unanimous verdict was that
the case was hopeless; that medical or surgi-
cal shill were useless except to relieve the
sufferings Of the patient. Through the long
and painful ordeal Mr.. Schmidt has borne
his sufferings with great patience and com
posure, and anticipated the result with de-
gree of equanimity seldom witnessed.
Mr.. Schmidt was born in Frankenberg,
Germany, Dec. s, 1924. He emigrated to
America in 1S47, and came to Minnesota in
1865, after having worked at his
trade, that of brass fnisher and
locksmith, in New York, Cleveland and
Detroit. A pulmonary complaint
induced his migration to St. Paul, and the
climate agreed with him so well that up to
last December he was not afflicted with his
old disease. On arriving here he engaged
in the restaurant business, and, as stated, has
continued in it ever since. In 1858 he was
married in New York to Miss Josephine
Zahm, a lady who has proved indeed help
meet for him. Besides Mrs, Schmidt, who

Popular Education,

The following letter, accompanied by res
olution, to Prof Kiehle, superintendent of
public instruction, from Hon. A. Barto, of
Sauk Centre, relative to what scholars are
entitled to instruction in the district schools
which receive aid from the state, and the
opinion of Attorney General Hahn on the
resolution adopted by the Sauk Centre school
board, will be of general interest to school
officers as well as parents and pupils through
out the state:
SAUK CENTRE, March 10, 1884
Hon. D. L. Kiehle
DEAR SIR: We are having some controver-
sy in our school in regard to parties comm g
here and living with relatives and claiming
the privileges of our school, and also parties
moving into the district to send to school
during the winter and moving back to their
farms in the spring. We have several par
ties living with brothers-in-law and sisters
in-law. The enclosed resolution was offered
at the meeting of our school board last evening
and I, as secretary, was instructed to submit
the same to the attorney general through you
and ask wether we could legally enforce it.
Please submit to him at your earliest con-
venience and oblige yours truly,
A. BARTo, Secretary.
ResolOed, That all applicants to attend
school in the Independent school district, of
Sauk Centre, who do not reside with their
parents or legal guardians who are residents
of said district shall be treated as non-resi-
dent pupils and be required to pay tuition
State of Minnesota, Attorney Generals Of

Kehlee, Dear Sir-I have the honor to ac-
knowledge the receipt of your favor enclosing
letter of Hon. A. Barto and resolutions of
board of education of Sauk Centre.
Section 80, of laws relating to public
schools provides that admission to any school
organized under the provisions of this act, or
any special school law of this state, sustained
in whole or in part by
state school funds shall be gratuitous to
children of all actual residents in the district
wherein such school is taught, between the
ages of five and twenty-one years, and to all
other persons between the same ages who
may be in good faith living in said district.
1t will be seen that the foregoing proviso
opens all public schools not only to the chill
dren of actual residents but also to children
who may be in good faith living in the dis
trict, irrespective of where their parents or
guardians may reside.
The resolution would exclude all the latter
class, and to that extent it is in my opinion
unauthorized and void.
OF course it is not to be con cluded from
what / have said that children may be sent
into school district for the sole and only
purpose of attending school, for it could not

keeper here named Eddie, and brutally
beaten with a heavy club. His scalp was
laid bare by cut five inches in length. Sur
gical aid was summoned and the injured
man now lies in a critical condition, and ii
is feared he cannot recover. Judge Cults

to await the result of the mans injuries.
