MINNEAPOLIS
DRUNKEN ANTICS,
What an Alleged Assault Sim
mers Down to.

Patt Curran, the man who went into
Mrs. Alice Fellows house at Thirty
second avenue north and Washington
Thursday evening, and made an assault
on her, was before the court. Mrs. Eel
lows said that he caught hold of her
and she tried to strike him with
hammer. He took the weapon
from her and then held her by the
wrist. She threw water on him but he
would not desist, although he did not
make any indecent proposals to her or
attempt to take any liberties with her
person. She finally succeeded in at
tracing the attention of policeman,
and Curran was locked up. Cur
ran said he did not remember
anything of the occurrence, and said
if he had done anything of the kind it
was while he was intoxicated. The
court concluded to impress the matter
on Curran's memory by sending him to
the work house for ninety dayS.

TREE PLANTING.

Gov. MERRIAM has designated Fri
day,the Goth day of this month, as Arbor
day i'll Minnesota, and calls upon peo-
pie i'll all sectious of the state to observe
it in an appropriate way. Even before
the great tide of population began to
flow towards our Western plains and
prairies the people of the East began to
turn their attention to tree culture. The
prOfiigate waste Of timber in the early
days of American settlement soon left
the older states in denuded condition,
and the supply became SO scarce that in
many sections of the East tree culture
became an Imperative necessity. But
when the Western pralr.es were popu-
lated public interest in the subject of
forestry became more thoroughly
awakened, until at last the government
took the matter in hand. There was a
forestry bureau established in conRec-
ton with one of the departments, and
singular inducements were offered to
the settlers in the Western states
and territories to engage in the
business of tree planting. Al
though but few years have
sed since this policy was adopted by
the government, the wisdom of it is ap-
parent in the number of beautiful for
ests now dotting the prairieS where be-
fore there was only barren eXpanSe.
More recently number of the states
have still further encouraged tree
planting by the establishment of Arbor
day-a day that is set apart asa sort of
working holiday. a day on which there
is to be a relaxation of all other buSi-
ness, and every man, woman and child
in the state to devote themselves to the
work of tree and shrub planting.
Minnesota is more fortunate tl.an most
of the Western states IN having a nat
ural growth of timber. Yet in some of
the older settled sections of the state
there has been the same prodigality in
the use of timber that occurred in the
Eastern states. Everywhere the drain
Oh the timber supply is constantly in
crcasing, and unless we give more at
tention to tree culture we will soon be
in the condition of some of the less
favored Western states.
We concur heartily with the govern
or'S suggestion that each community
observe Arbor day in systematic way
The desultory method of tree planting
observed in so many localities is better
than none at all, and yet, if it were gone
at Systematically, much better results
could be had. In each town and village
throughout the state there should be a
public meeting in advance of Arbor
day, general plan should be agreed
upon, and the proper committees ap-
| pointed to see that the plans are prop
erly executed. And then every public
spirited citizen will feel it to be duty
to give his hearty individual co-opera-
ton in making Arbor day a success.

very vehement in their opposition to
the bill to be voted on in the Legislature
of that state yesterday, providing for a
medical board to be named by the
governor. Persons practicing medicine
without license from the board are to be
fined $500. The object of the measure
is to cut off specialists. Christian
scientists, magnetic and botanic heal
ers, and possibly homeopaths. This
would give an entire monopoly to the
regulars if they happen to control the
board. 1t is in line with the general
tenor of political things to create ex-
elusive privileges.
