A Victim of High License.

Special Dispatch to the Globe-Demccrat.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Jan. 3.-In q saloon
window on West Seventh street there
is rudely painted picture Of man
stretched out In death. Beneath are the
words Business Closed" Poor man,
high license killed him. The saloon door
is locked. This is the only saloon so far
reported that has quit business, al
though great number expect to close
on notification by the proper authority.
Less than twenty-five have deposit ed
the necessary $l0C3. 1t has been tacitly
understood that the saloon keeper who
filed an application would not be dis
turbed until the city council has me
and decided what action to take or I'M
til the applications we're passed upon at
the meeting to be held on January Z.
City Attorney Murray today said that
he did not know that IL would be prop
or to state what action would be taken
prior to decision by the council. Un-
der the old rule, however, the salOonists
were given until the Goth Of the month.
1t is believed that the city council will
take action In the premises at the meet
ing tonight.

A STRAGE STORY BY GYPSIES.
They Tell a Widow that Her Hus
band. Found Dead Five Years
Ago. Was Murdered.
indianapolis Journal


Ago. Was Murdered.
indianapolis Journal
A gentleman from Randolph county,
who was In the city yesterday, reports
that q country neighborhood near Win
chester is considerably excited over an
incident which occurred there q few
days ago. A young married man named
Fetters was killed in his stable four or
five years ago, and his death was gener-
ally attributed to an accident. He went
to the stable to feed his horses late one
evening, and his wife, hearing a noise,
entered the stable only to find her hus-
band unconscious and dying. A bruise
was found upon his head and the blood
oozed from his ears and nostrils, show
ing that he had been struck by some
heavy instrument. One Of the poles
used In separating the stable into stalls,
was down, and 1t was believed that this
had been in some way thrown against
Fetters when he entered the stable and
had caused the fatal wound.
This explanation was accepted until q
day or two ago, when some gypsies
stopped at the house of the widow and
wanted to tell her fortune. She refused
to have anything to do with them. One
Of them insisted, however, and when
again T6Iueeu, bhlu w Will L6ll
you something about yourself, anyhow.
Your husband was killed five years ago
In the stable and you thought his
death was due to accident. But you
were mistaken. You were milking
near by and when you ran to the stable
two men ran out and disappeared In the
woods. One was very large man and
the other was small. Their object was
to rob your husband, who had q large
sum Of money in his pocket. But your
coming prevented the robbery"
With this the gypsies passed on, and
the widow recalled the fact that her hus-
band. on the day OF his death, had sold
his hogs and had the money sewed fast
In the watch pocket OF his pataloons,
where she afterwards found 1t. The
gypsies detailed all the circumstances OF
the death Of her husband with such min
uteness that the widow believes him to
have been the victim of q horrible crime
instead Of an accident, as many Of Der
neighbors share this feeling with her.

The Miners Strike,

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Jan. 6.-The miners
strike in this vicinity is more complete
than ever. Hitherto numbers Of idle
and working colliers have been willing
~ stated at offices OF coal and iron COM
panies. Today officials said they have
been instructed not to give out thes 9
figures. Miners say the reason 10 that
there are no Reading collieries
working at all. One of the
individual oOllieries, the William,
Pennsy lvania, near Shenandoah,
which have been working under an
agreement to continue to pay on ad-
vaDced basis, pending settlement, shut
down today. The reason Is that miners
refused to cut coal to be loaded on cars,
handled by non-union men. This is the
first instance Of the kind, and 1t goes to
show that the strike of the miners is not
alone on account Of questions OF wages,
but it is also intended to help their
striking brethren Of the railroad.

The free trade proclivities OF the Scan
dinavians have alarmed the republicans
and an exodus from the party is feared
To prevent this is the work to which re-
publican leaders are now addressing
themselves. This accounts for the notice
accorded Congressman Haugen's speech
The Milwaukee Sentinel devotes a column
and half editorial space to it and is I'M
sparing IN its Communications be-
cause of any particular merit in the speech
but to signalize the protection attitude
OF prominent Norwegian so that his
countrymen may be influenced to hold
fast to their allegiance to party with
whose principles they are at variance.
When Haugen was nominated to succeed
Price in a district overwhelmingly re-
publican and in which his own nationality
exceeded any other, he was almost de-
feated,-the result being in doubt for
many days. But now. Belisarius is
needed to inspire a little enthusiasm
among the Norwegian-A for the
republican party and Haugen is lionized.

The Oshkosh Times expresses the hope
that President Cleveland will sign the
pension bill and the river and harbor bill.
The latter certainly contains many steals
but vetoes will not operate to improve
future bills in this particular. A bill
from which the steals are eliminated can
not pass. The pension bill should be
signed If for no other purpose than to
stop the eternal howl. i pension bill so
comprehensive as to cover every possible
claim should be framed and become law
SO that people may be relieved from hear
ing the perpetual importuning for pen
sions. Every pension bill introduced
should be passed until the claim of in
gratitude to the nations defenders
could not be urged by the most inveter-
ate seeker for aid.

GOVERNOR RUsK is a good-hearted,
supplemented old man who managed to
get to congress and did nothing to dis
grace himself and who became governor
of Wisconsin and made fairly good one.
He is man almost wholly devoid of ed
ucation but has plentiful supply Of
horse sense. But this did not save him
from seriously considering the compli-
mentary notices of parasites as to his
fitness for the presidency. The conven-
ton which met at Madison last week
went through the burlesque performance
of sending delegates to the Chicago con-
vention ostensibly favorable to Rusk.
some perhaps of the same mental caliber
as Jere, really in his favor. What farce
the whole thing appears! A regular
school boy proceeding which advertises
the folly of good man at heart, for that
old Governor Jere Is in reality. 1t would
have been friendly act to tell the good
old man that he has as good chance 10
place his hand on the moon as to receive
the nomination of any party for the pres
1dency. But the toadies are too numer-
Gus and flatter his vanity while making
him appear supremely ridiculous.

OHl this papal rescript is in the inter

1t was inspired by Irish bishops VINO
could not bear to see the poor peasantry
of Ireland so wrong themselves as to take
unfair advantage of the landlords who
have been bleeding Ireland for hundreds
of years. Yes, and the holy father in
sisted that the tory government should
do something handsome for Ireland. He
does not want the Irish people to an
tagonize public sentiment by insisting
upon having justice. Strange how diff
ferent things are from what they seem!
Strange how the Vatican's love for Irish
Catholics manifests itself in such a man
ner as to resemble dislike! But it is real
considerate love after all.

PATRICK FORD of The Irish World is
for Blaine, and The n. Y. Tribune fur
nishes him an opportunity to say so
through its columns. Ford also believes
nay, is certain-that Blaine can get
more Irish votes this fall than he did in
1884, and all because Cleveland is the
candidate of The London Times" The
free traders, in Ford's opinion, are anz-
ious to turn this country over to Eng
land. Such lavish generosity is certainly
alarming. But this dynamite editor may
calm his fears. Free traders have a suf-
ficient amount of selishness to look after
their own interests and are not giving
anything away. Indeed their demands
are that what is rightfully theirs should
be given them. The bugaboo about turn
ing this country over to England is an
idiotic argument and should be address,
ed to idiots.

trader of the most pronounced type and
withal one of the best informed on the

democratic party on the tariff issue and
has been selected delegate to the state
convention. Mr.. Smalley is not a demo-

is the champion of the principles he re-
CARDS as paramount. His refusal to trim
or in any way assist party by the aban-
donment of principles and the rare ability
with which he maintains his position, has
made his little paper well known not
only throughout Minnesota but even
among thoughtful writer's on economic
subjects in the Atlantic states.

not nuisance. An attempt was made
in La Crosse some time ago to close the

their being open on that day constituted
