THE SILVER STATE.
PUBLISHED EVERY DAY (sUNDAYs Ex-
sCEPTED) BY
j. j. HILL l. e. CO.


This is the kind of yarn that comes
up from Florida: Some boys were in
the habit of bathing in certain pool,
but were frequently driven out by an
alligator, which came in to sample them.
Various methods Of driving him away
having foiled, the boys finally rugged up
q dummy boy and stuffed it with dyna.
mite. The ruse worked. Stealing qui-
city in the alligator closed his jaws on
the dummy and the next instant found
himself blown tail first up the river
three miles. We not informed as to
whether or not he was killed. The un-
certainty which surrounds this simple
story adds vastly to its artistic merit;
but we don't believe it all the same.

What Enterprise Can DO.

About twenty-five years ago two brothers
by the name of Gross commenced the manu-
facture Of soap in Milwaukee, Wis, which
they intended should outriyal any in the
market. They had uphill work to do, but
they had brains and the result is that to-
day the members of the firm are worth over
five million dollars. This result was first at
tanned by making good article and Sec
ondly by extensive and judicious advertis-
ing. Probably all our readers know all about
the A B soap; it is without exception the
best in the market. Its use is an Indication
of the artistic tastes of the user. 1t would
have been impossible for the Messrs. Gross
to have accumulated such fortune in SO
few years if they had not judiciously and
extensively advertised. The story told by
Mr.. James Michelstetter, the representative
of the firm here, to our reporter is: 81 am
soap, my mind is always on it, it is my
business, I am constantly thinking how to
extend its sale" The first aim of the firm
was to make good soap. the second was to
advertise. To advertise does not mean
simply to put notice in the papers. Adver-
Using is an art; the men who succeed by
advertising are men of brains; they devise
new ways, and striking ways, of putting
their wares before the public. They sue
coed; the others do not.

WINDOW OF WINONA.
The Ex-senator Talks Briefly on
Politics.

Ex-senator William Window arrived in
st. Paul last evening and is registered at
the Ryan. Mr.. Window said to a GLOBE
reporter that he had paid little attention to
politics On his visit to Washington recently.
He had simply been there looking after
some of his household effects and
the renting of his house. He pro-
fessed himselfn not acquainted with anything
new, but said he was willing to be pumped.
He said he had given the question of an
extra session so little thought that he had
no opinion on the needs for one. When
asked for his opinion on the administration
he said he thought it had not expressed it
self sufficiently to be judged That it had
not done this was owing to lack of oppor-
tunity, as there had been no issues ON which
it could place itself except the civil service
reform. On this point he said he believed
that President Cleveland was really desir-
Gus OF carrying out the principles he had
laid down before his election,
but the - was not very confident
that the president could stand
the pressure that was being and would be
brought to bear on him. He gave it as his
opinion, that the Republican senators would
not oppose presidential appointments.
THAT IS said he, there will be no fac
tous opposition. If friends of senators
have been removed for cause or alleged
cause. think senators will demand that

Vtndicated Himself.

A few days ago mention was made in
the papers of st. Paul about man and his
wife and child arriving in the city from
Moorhead via the Manitoba road, and their
application to the mayor for assistance to
Chicago, as they had lost their purse con-
tanning their railway tickets and money at
Moorhead. The trio at ST. Paul made
complaint about the usage they had re-
ceived from Manitoba conductor. After
the complaint was made, Manitoba Officials
Immediately instituted an investigation of
the affair, and after Sitting it carefully,
have come to the conclusion that both the
man and his story were frauds The man
stated that he lost his pocketbook while
running 10 catch the train at MOOrhead,
and after getting ON the train he explained
his position to the conductor and asked
him to telegraph back to the agent and
have him search for the lost pocketbOok.
This, the man said, the conductor refused
to do, and acted very rudely to them to
GAINESVILLE. Manitoba officials have found
the statement to be false. After the man
explained, Conductor Ward allowed him
to ride to GAINESVILLE, and there explained
the circumstance to Conductor Smith, who
gave him passage to St. Paul. Mr.. Ward
was so much interested in the case, that in
stead of taking his days rest at Barnes
vile, he rode back to Moorhead, arriving
there early in the morning, and with the
agent, looked the ground over and made
inquiries whether purse had been found.
After being convinced that no purse was
lost, Mr.. Ward was informed that the three
had ridden from Winnipeg On the same
kind of tickets as they did from Moorhead
to st. Paul. claiming, after starting from
Winnipeg, to have lost them. At st. Paul
they were furnished with transportation to
Chicago. The story they told in st. Paul
has caused much unpleasantness, as it i'm
plicated Mr.. Ward, who is one of the
oldest and most reliable conductors in the
Northwest.

DECISION FILED.
Sarah M. Sherman, as administrative of the
estate of Matthew e. Sherman, deceased,
respondent, VS.. The Chicago, Milwaukee
St. Paul Railroad Company, appellant.
Syllabus-Evidence held sufficient to sus-
tain a finding of negligence on the part OF
defendant. Held, that whether or not 1t was
the custom or mode of doing business OF the
defendant to leave frogs unprotected SO That
its employees might be presumed to know
that such was the custom or mode OF doing
business and by continuing in the employ
ment to have taken on themselves the FISK
incident to that way of doing it, was in THIS
case, as the evidence stood, question for the
jury. That being the state of the evidence,
and it tending to show that before the killing
of plaintiffs intestate. the defendant had
| adopted placing blocks between the rails as a
means of protecting the frogs an instruction
| asked by defendant ''that if Sherman knew
that some OF the rails were not blocked and
did not complain, but remained in the en-
ploy of the railroad company, although he did
not know when he went in to uncouple the
cars whether the particular rail in question
was blocked or not, plaintiff cannot recover"
was properly refused, and it was not error in
the court in refusing the request to say to
the jury, think the instruction should be
confined to the particular rail in question.
Order affirmed

TALK OF A CONGRESSMAN.
Hon. HI. B.Strait FavOrs a Reduc ton
i'm Tariff.

Congressman FL. B. Strait of Shakopee
arrived in st. Paul last evening. He had
just gone to bed in room 81 at the Mer-
chants hotel when GLOBE reporter called
on him. He said he was on his way to
Farbault to see son at school there before
he went to Washington for the winter. He
thought he would go down there early in
December or the last of November.
"Of course there will be legislation
on the tariff question, or at any rate, at
tempted legislation. Morrison and Randall
will probably be as wide apart as ever, and
nobody can tell what the action of the new
congress will be on the question"
''Will the Minnesota congressman vote as
befOr, for horizontal reduction" was
asked.
II believe they would. They certainly
would if that was the only form in which
they could get at the question. Possibly
Mr.. Gillian, coming from a
manufacturing city, would follow
Mr.. Washburn's example. L am the last
man that would vote for any measure that
would reduce the wages of the working
men, but do not believe that the reduction
of the tariff will do this. There is fall
lacy in their arguments. believe it is for
the good of the state to reduce the tariff
l do not wholly favor horizontal reduc-
tion." On the extra session Mr.. Strait said
he thought it would be not only unneces-
sary but detrimental to the state to call one.
