One Of the crying necessities of the
city is a mOrgue, centrally located. and
now the city and county have combined
together to build a hospital. they would
do well to again combine for the build
ing of mOrgue. Many quiet unostenta-
tious citizens who have died suddenly,
have been buried without Identification
that properly exhibited in morgue,
would have been identified and re-
stored to friends, and what
has occurred may again occur at any
time. Moreover, the peace officers say
that morgue has been and might be OF
great use in tine detection of mysterious
murders that are MS likely to occur here
as elseW here. There are other cogent
reasons for the foundation of a mOrgue,
and IL is hoped that the authorities will
give this matter early and due consid-
Grafton.

a Question Raised if the Act Taking Into

Constitutional.

SEVENTH WARD LEGISLATION.

differing Opinions on the Lega2ity
OF slae Legislative Act.
When George Harris was being prosecuted
for selling LIQUOR without license in the
Seventh ward he, with about half dozen
others interested, called upon Erwin Ryan
to take ND the case to test the law under
which the prosecution was being carried on.
rrhe ATTORNEYS wanted S1,500 to conduct the
case but the LIQUOR men couldn't see lt IN
that light, so the agitation passed away. IL
seems now, however, that an effort Is Delng
made through T. T. Fauntleroy to WORK
through test. City Attorney Murray pre-
cludes the possibility Of any successful issue
for the saloopkeepers by this positive
observation: 1.-The legislature says tne
council is prohibited from issuing a
liquor license in that district, ano the Guy
council has passed an ordinance pronlDitlng
the sale of libuor without license. Tnat
all there is to ii.
AS to the question of the constitutionaiity
of the act Mr. Murray says the prohlbitory
sections are simply limitations OF the acI-
A well-known lawyer, however, whose name
is withheld at his own request, says, speakihg
of the supreme court decision in the MIN
neapolis patrol limits case: 1.-The courf Ihen
declared that the regulation as to Where OF
within what limits the liquor-sellng business
may be carried on is q legislative ACT, Vesleu
in the city council, and calling Ior the
exercise of legislative discretion. NOW,
this power cannot be delegated, and il that
is so-since the city derives its power to
legislate only from the state through It's
charter-then the stale has already IN the
grant extending the city limits exhausted the
legislative power, leaving nothing in that
line for the city or agent to do Should the
city issue a license for the Seventh ward 1T
would be illegal, and to prohibit the sale OF
liquor there would be to do what the state
has already done The question now hinges
upon the conslituuonality OF the extension
act, whether the distinct subjects OF ex-
tension and prohibition can be embraced in
any one act.

BOUGHT A FAMILY.
A New Jersey Farmer. Purchases a
Wife and Two Children.

Special to the Globe.
New YORK, June 30.-A dispatch from
Ocean Grove, n. j., says Ellis Thompson,
a wealthy farmer living about mile from
there, has purchased wife and two chill.
dren, and is now living with them in new
house, handsomely furnished. Kate Car
son, Red Bank girl. was five years age
sought after by Thompson, then 40 years
old, and young man named Hiram Satter-
lee. Satterlee won the girl and married
her. They lived until week ago in a little
house along the railroad near Dear Lake.
Satterlee was employed on the New York
% Long Branch road, but intemperance has
ruined him, and he has given but scanty
sustenance to his family. Lately Thomp-
son saw how poor the family was and how
the woman he loved was being ill-used by
her husband. His sympathy went out to
the injured wife and he longed to take
her to the house he was building
on his farm and which was
rapidly nearing completion. How to over
come the insurmountable difficulties which
seemed to present themselves was the one
question in his mind. At length he had a
happy Inspiration. He would buy her.
When he broached the subject to Mrs. Sat
tCl1CC onO 1CCClECu Will
fewer scruples than he had expected. She
appreciated his solicitude and if she could
not return his affection her gratitude would
go long way toward it. The question
now arose as to whether the husband would
make reasonable bargain. Mr.. Thompson
went to the house and broached the sub
ject. Satterlee thought at first it was a
joke, but when he saw Thompson was in
earnest he became serious and finally Of
fered to sell his wife and children for $500.
Mr.. Thompson put down the cash at once.
That night Satterlee left for New York
and the woman and children are now living
with Thompson in comfort and happi-
ness

ON THE CABLE LINE.
a Few Opinions Picked Up at RAM
dom ON MIR. LOyyry,s Letter.

City Attorney Murray-It's all right. It's
all poppycock to talk about a cable line with
horses at both ends. What is wanted is
cable line all the way up Dayton avenue Of
course it will be an expensive plant
Aid. John Dowlan-Oh, he's very nice. He
wants committee, but think the commit
tee on streets is enough. Now / may be ask
ing too much, but my intention was
to have the University street-car
line run from Rice street along
hcker to Courtland, as soon as Acker street
Is graded, and then up Courtland east of Oak
and cemetery, and also to have line out
Rice street to Como avenue, out Como avenue
20 Front street, so as to get to the state fair
grounds. See how that country is settling
mp. Now Mr.. Lowry has a track on Rice
street all buried up; it looks as if he Just
wanted to hold possession of the street. But
Tom means well enough. We want a cable
ine and anything on wheels can be made to
20 around curve. Why, 1 should like to
see cable line from one end of Seventh
perfectly straight and is just what we want.
Mayor Rice--Mr. Lowry's idea is very
sound, very good. Yes, would like to see a
sable line on Seventh street from one end to
;ne other. 1t would cost great deal of
money, but may save in the end. It's a pity
}he street is not wider.
Building Inspector Johnson-I hear there
are hundred people out on Dayton avenue
With shot guns. I hink it's good idea?-
ghat spoil Dayton avenue? 1t would never

;he finest residence streets in the city. Where
should it go? Why, Selby avenue is the street
for it. The council has already passed an

ANOTHER GRADE WANTED.
The Millers Ask the Warehouse Com
mission for New Grade.
They Want ssNo. Hard''--The Com
mission VIII Investigate.

A good-sized delegation of the Minneapolis
millers was at the capitol yesterday after
noon visiting the warehouse commissioners,
to express to them their views on the needs
of change III the wheat grades as estab-
lished by the commissioners year ago. The
conference lasted for two hours and the sub
lect of wheat grades was gone over at consid-
cradle length. The millers asked that new
grade be made, its quality to be about mid
way between No. hard and No. Northern,
and to be known as No. 2 hard. 1t was
stated to the commissioners that this was, or
would be in some years, almost necessity.
1t would depend on the quality
OF the crop, and while in good
years. there would be less need for it. Still
it was desirable to have grade established
for an intermediate quality of wheat. Phe
millers had not prepared any definition of the
proposed new grade, but another hearing will
be given them soon when they will present to
the board their ideas of just what should be
fixed as the quality of this No. 2 hard.
The commissioners meantime will seek in
formation from all sides interested, and be-
fore making any changes in the grades as
established will consult representative farm
ers, elevator men, and the experts and deal
ers at Duluth. 1--WE would not want to make
another grade said Gen. Baker, simply on a
hearing from the millers, but if when we have
sifted the matter, it appears generally desir-
able, then it might be done.
