themselves. Don't give the country
papers the opportunity Of doing all the
mischief they can and then retract."
Senator Day promptly replied that if
Senator Crandall desired to amend the
libel law he should introduce bill, but
that so long as the present law was in
operation it was only fair the weekly
papers should be placed on the level
with the daily papers.
Senator Edwards was glad some Of
the senators had seen the error of their
way in relation to this libel law. He
did not oppose the amendment under
the circumstances, but pointed out that
if the weekly papers had to retract
anything they would probably have to
issue an extra number, and. the senator
added: God knows we get enough OF
these papers once week."
Senator HiXson thought the weekly
newspapers had all the privileges they
were entitled to. Senators knew that
the state was cursed with country news
papers. Any man with 500 could pur-
chase half a dozen of them and turn
hem loose on any man.
t Senator Edwards-The senator is too
high in his price. Laughter.l
The bill was reported favorabiy.

A MEAN SESSION.
Senators Saw Wood and Indulge
in ComDiiments,

A meaner session than that of the
senate yesterday could not be imagined.
There was hardly vestige of life in
the assembly. the business being strict
ly routine and transacted in the most
pronounced prosaic style. Senator Ed
wards had bill read which will be of
interest to &. A. r. men. 1t is framed
to prevent the improper use of any i'll
sigma of the Loyal Legion or the
G. A. R., and prescribes punishment
for persons. not members of these
organizations, who improperly use the
badges to secure charity. assistance or
business. Senator Crandall initiated
two bills before the chamber. One, to
prohibit the sale of spirituous liquors
on or within one-half mile of the state
fair grounds; two, granting railroads
organized under Wisconsin laws to en-.
ter Minnesota on the same terms and
with the same privileges as the home
roads. Senator Durant had read a bill
to increase the salaries of judges of dis
trict courts from s., 500 to 50, 500; but the
most important piece of legislation sug-
gested was that by Senator Compton to
exempt state and county officers, tele-
graph operators and undertakers from
serving as Jurors.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, Feb. 6.-Some.
time ago a white girl name Greuber,'
aged sixteen. went to work in Mr.. Tear
ney's family, of this place. While the
family was absent one evening negro
servant named Douglas outraged the
girl, and threatened-if she ever uttered
one word he would cut her throat,
and use her like "Jack the Ripper"
The young girl was so frightened that
it was not until very recently that she
informed her father of the negro's
crime. The father sought the good
offices of States Attorney Sloan, who,
went to work and last week had the
grand jury indict the negro. Before
the warrant could be issued for his ar
rest, Douglas, who got wind of the mat
ter, fled from the city. The sheriff is
making diligent search for the man. It
was not known to the public until to-day.
and the people are bent upon lynching
the negro if he be captured.

was Swede, twenty-one years old, and
had lived in Boston for over three years.
He shipped ON the three-maSted schoo-

cruelty treated by Capt. Mcdonald OF
the Kearns, and first mate Harris, who
repeatedly threatened to brain them
with a Delaying pin if they did not obey
orders more promptly. Kaldoon also
said that the crew was not more than

was unfit to eat. Almost before the
schooner had passed through He'll Gate

TALLY ONE FOR THE TIMES.
Police Inspector Bonfield and
Capt. Setback Indefinitely Sus-'
nended From Office

CHICAGO, Feb. 6.-Inspector Bonfield
and Capt. Setback were tonight indefi-.
nltely suspended from Office. Bonieldf
and Setback are the officials whom the
Chicago Times has been charging with
corruption in Office, the specifications
being that the pair were virtually in
league with gamblers, Saloonkeepers,
thieves and the demi-mOnde. The first,
result of the charges was the Immediate
filing of libel suits against the Times,
and these suits were added to daily,
until the total amount of damages asked
from the newspapers by the officers and
others is nearly million and half dol
lars.
Suspended in company with the in
spector and captain is Detective Loew-
enstein, the officer who, after terrible
hand-to-hand struggle. succeeded in ar
resting Anarchist Louis Lingg. The
suspension order is signed by Mayor
Roche. who was nominated by the Re-
publicans in the excitement following
the Haymarket affair, and elected ON an
anti-red flag platform. The mayor be-
gins his order with recital that the
charges against the accused are made
by newspaper heretofore recog-
nized as an organ OF a political
party. He disclalms any inten-
ton of determining by his action
as to whether the accusations are true
OF not. The ground for the suspension
is stated to be precautionary, Or in the
mayors own language, THAT the ef-
fciency of the police system be not inn
paired" The courts, the mayor states,
have declined to expedite the trial of
the cases which would prove OIL disprove
the charges. Suspension is. ordered
until ample time has been given for
judicial determination of the matter, or
the charges have been disproved." Mr..
Bonfeld was not at all upset when re-
porter addressed him as ''eX-inspector."
He was cool and smiled as cordial a
welcome as if the reporter was one of
his old Partisan operatives.

When in committee of the whole, Sem

newspapers was reported. The desire
of Senator Day is that weekly newspa-

''take back'' any charges which have
appeared in their columns. The legis-
lators from the country feel somewhat
sore when country weekly newspapers
are referred to. In private they eX-
pressed themselves with scorn at ''these
parasites" as one senator remarked.
This feeling showed itself in the
second reading of the bill. Senator
