Mr.. We,ch,s Money.

In the municipal court yesterday morning
the charge preferred by Isaac M. WEIGH,
the grocer, who claimed to have been robbed
of S11O, was withdrawn as to John Put
nam, the hackdriver. who did not seem to
have had anything to do with the alleged
robbery. l.. A. Scidlnore was then eX
amined and discharged, as he proved an
alibi. Welch, it appeared from the testi-
mOny, was intoxicated at the time, and
probably did not know who robbed him.
Cafarelle Bros, the saloonkeepers. state
that the robbery, if any occurred, did not
take place in their saloon, at 225 Washing
ton avenue south, as intimated in yester-
days GLOBE.

serves well of his countrymen. 1 have no
objection to seeing foreign flags faunting in
our faces, provided our own flag is among
them and surmounting them. They should
occupy a subordinate place beneath our
glorious banner. Why have not the UNI
patriotic politicians who have committed the
traitorous act of hosting these flags hoisted
the English flag as we'll; aye, and the Chinese
flag, for there are some rat eaters doing
laundry work in the city. The fact OF the
matter is that the English flag would be there,
too, if we had many English voters, and II
that were hoiSted the Irishmen would play
hi with it. The man who took down the
European flags the other night is as much OF
patriot in my opinion as the man who blew
up with dynamite the monument erected by
Cyrus w. Field to Mai Andre, who was hanged

The Republicans have two bands running
about the country for the purpose OF creating
enthusiasm. The feeling that is stirred up
by the blare of brass among the farmers is
reported to be of a vastly different natu re
than was desired. Il suppose they'll steal
little more OF our wheat to pay for those
bands if they elect McGill,'' was the comment
of an old farmer at Maple Plain Wednesday.
C. A. Gallagher-Suppose such calamity
should befall us as the election OF McGlll, and
suppose Il riot should spring up. Grave men
would be assembled IN council, waiting for
the governor, but they would have TO wait

Well, then he would come in and suddenly
one Of his corset strings would break. I'M
agine the result.
c. L. Locke has respectfully challenged the
trio of Republican lawyers who are SANDER
ing Mayor Ames throughout the county to
meet him in joint debate on the issues of the
campaign. The effort to bring them face to
face with the truth has thus far proved fruit
less.
Ralph Beaumont. of New York, chairman
of the general legislative committee of the
knights of Labor, will visit Minnesota soon,
and will deliver speeches, one each in ST.
Paul, Saltwater and Minneapolis. The pur-
pose of the visit is TO ventilate the record of
Congressman Glfllan before his constituents.
The Young Mems Democratic club held
large meeting at the rooms of the Algonquin
club last evening, and perfected its organi-
cation. Otto Grethen was elected president,
W. c. Kruger, vice president, and Lewis
Bader, secretary. Seventy-three new names
were added.
w. h. Venables is manufacturing new
Ames campaign badge that has the merit of

F. F. Davis, who helped to elect Ames
mayor last spring by his speeches, has re-
sumed his good WORK this fall, although he is
defeating himself.
A German and Scandinavian Ames club
will be formed this evening al 25I0 Twenty

The engagement of the Kellar combination,
beginning ut the Grand opera house Monday
will prove pleasant diversion to the public
that seems to be satated with comedy and

with mysterious and startling phenomenas.
He has with him u number of talented as

pleasing.
Burglars on Wednesday night entered the
residence Of Peter G. Williams, at 1905 Thir-
teenth avenue south, and, finding Mrs. Will
Jams awake, ohoked and beat her until she
was nearly insensible. They then ransacked
the house for money and valuables, but
finally left without securing any booty. Mrs.
Williams yesterday was confined 10 her bed
by her injuries and nervous prostration.

ALL SOR rs.

The Republicans have made grave mis-
take and they will soon realize it. They have
not charged Mayor Ames with having in-
veStigated the coopeTs' strike. By the way.
why don't some those Republicans advO-

body should hurt Aid. Coughs feelings.
Yesterday afternoon a man went into Jake
Barge saloon. distributing Autographs Of

Considerable attention was attracted on
Nicollet avenue yesterday afternoon TO the
frantic endeavors of a woman to tack a
placard on a telegraph pole with cobble-
stone. Wrathfully and persistently she
worked, and at length accomplishing her
task she stood back, and, with arms akimbO.
surveyed her feat. The placard had a cabi-
net photograph in the center, under it being
the inscription: ''This is Mrs. Mccarthy, the
dead beat, who doesn't pay her hired girl. No
girl will stay with her" To the crowd around
her the perspiring artist said: ''Pm agoin' to
advertise her." The picture was torn down
the moment her back was turned.
The Journal need draw no consolation from
the fact that the GLOBE cited it yesterday,
great as the apparent favor was. The id ca
was only to show that there was no trouble
on the tracks, even by the report of a paper
so bitterly envemoned as the Journal.
Aid. Clough says he was mayor for one
day. True enough. On that day most of the
lawlessness occurred, the only thing he did
being to throw all his efforts to the advantage
of the Pillsbury mill. Since Mayor Ames came
home, there has been nothing but peace and
order. Ames and good order are synOny-
nous.
Aid. Sly will to-day go Out on game
slaughtering expedition, but will return in
time for election. He says he will support
and work for Matt Walsh for treasurer.
Yesterday afternoon two gamins got into a
fisticuf in the room behind the Jobbers' as
sociation quarters. Several members, who
happened to be present, hastily came TO order
and passed resolution demanding police
protection and advising the mayor to ap-
point 3, 900 special officers.
Now that Loren Fletcher's mill has started
up, the strike can be said to be virtually

that he had deserted her. She found out

The striking switchmen still remain quiet,
and yesterday made no efforts at Interior
ence further than to endeavor by persuasion
to induce other men not to take their places.
The railroads probably moved more freight
than upon any other day since the strike
commenced Their crews were made up
from other employees and few OF the
switchmen who have returned to work.
The railroads state that they are moving
trains rapidly. and, while this can hardly
be true still they are making some progress
against the freight gorge. Acting Mayor
Clough was on hand to see if any assistance
was needed from the city police, but found
there was not. At the different yards the
special police were Still on hand.

The Dinner Pail will DO IL.

Col. A. j. Blethen received one of the
worst backsets last night ever a man did
get. There was meeting at Republican
headquarters to organize a club, and Col
Blethen was one of the speakers. He said:
This man Ames expects to be governor.
Who is going to vote for him? What will
give it to him?" He paused for moment
and repeated: What will give it to
him?" At this moment work
man in the rear of the hall
held UP tin dinner pail and exclaimed:
This will do it." A cheer went up from
the back part of the house. while the Re-
publican orators in front grew very pale.
Col. Blethen was so disconnected he fall
tered out a few words and set down. That
is the general sentiment. The dinner pail
and the hoe will be the Ames emblems of

by the Republican managers of the cam

others nodded their heads in sympathy.
The crowd was an attentive one. and when
q good thing was said showed their appreci-
alton by hearty applause. The speakers
were A. T. Ankeny. Judge Hollins. Col.

made one of his characteristic speeches, in
which he truthfully remarked that McGilrs

with applause, and the arguments put forth
were of the kind that count.

a CrOfter's Daughter.

My story Is not one OF romance,
writes a correspondent of the Christian
Leader, from Thurso; and then he pro-
ceeds to tell a story OF real life IN the
vicinity which puts all mere romance
entirely into the shade We wish space
permitted OF It's being narrated in detail
in these columns: but that unfortunate
" is not the case. Our ThurSO CORES
pOndent might make beautiful little
volume out of the life-stoTy which he
describes. 1t Is that of a crofter ;
daughter, who. " hen her parents were
incapaciiated BIZ the intirmiGes of age
from working their little farm, and had
the prospect Of being thrown tor their
support on he parish. resolved to do
the work of the croft with her own
hands. and has done il successfully for a
quarter of a century! The father, still
a living evidence Of this heroic daugh-
ter's devotion, is a respected elder in
the Free church. and now a nOnagena-
rian. In order TO carry out her self
imposed task the daughter resolved to
graduate in every department Of farm
work (for which. however. she had no
cOngenial taste). from the plough to
the barn; and during tie twenty-five
years that have elapsed since she took
up this position she has kept the little
farm equal in order TO the best around
her. and has maintained her aged par
ents in comfort and respectability.
Not only has she attended to al the
kinds of worS needed on the small
holding, such a ploughing. sowing
reaping, etc, she las also undertaken
outside work. driving her cart with
minerals from a neighboring mine in
company with men. some of them I'M
cultivated and rude. Yet the calm
dignity of this woman never deserted
her in the midst Of such occupations.
and by this extra work she was en-
abled for many years 10 supplement
the modest income from the little
farm. For some time past she has
been relieved 10 a certain extent from
the more laborious toll on the croft by
the coming 70 maturity Of a voung
male relative; but she still holds the
reins. She has alway been a regular
attendant at church. however labori-
