st. Paul, obtained employment, was
succeeding fairly well when i'll health

John Barnes proposes to have the leg
islature this winter pass law to pro-
1ibit circuSes from giving entertain
ments here in st. Paul during the base
ball season. The trouble with the cir
Gus is that it scoops in too much at a
time. Since the fashion has come into
vogue to buy up and consolidate three
or four circuses and hippodromes. with
five or six menageries thrown in, the ma
tional game has found it very difficult to
compete Oh an equal basis. Mr.. Barnes
claims that the constitution guarantees
equal and exact justice to all men, and
that is what he is after. He proposes to
test this matter, and to know whether
or not he can obtain his constitutional
rights.
