THE st. Paul Globe SAYS Democratic
paper has just followed the example OF
the New York Tribune of four years ago
and prepared list of President Harri-
sons appointees "who have collided
with criminal statutes and good morals. "
The Globe made great mistake IN not
publishing the list. Republicans as well
as Democrats have great desire to see
this compilation ofcrooked Republicans.
The Globe doesn't even hint at Its size as
compared with the famous list of the

THE newspapers are discussing the re-
cent retirement of Senator Washburn
from the presidency of the 500 railroad
and various reasons are assigned for it.
We suppose the Senator was impressed
by the arguments made by this paper
last fall that it wouldn't look well for q
railway president to be occupying one OF
MInnesota's seats in the U. s. senate.
We confess that Mr.. Washburn's re.
pentance would appear more sincere
could it be learned that he had sold his
stock and entirely severed his connec.
ton with railway corporations. Howev.
er, if the arguments of one senatorial
campaign induced the General to give
up the presidency of the road it is very
likely that those of the next one will
compel him to see the ACCESSIBILITY Of
selling his stock.

the John Day Smith law by publishing
full accounts of the execution at Moor

The two columns adjoining the one in
which the above item appeared were
wholly devoted to an account of the
Brown execution. We judge from this
that there must be clause In Mr..
Smiths law exempting evening papers
from the consequences which are to be
visited upon the morning sheets. This
is as it should be, and we take back all
we have said against the law.

which seemed exorbitant at the

in every instance justified the confidence
reposed in the continued growth and

an investment in city property. Is no
longer venture. Not IL single piece OF

purchaser has not heen ablet TO dispose OF

time property has'increased in value from
10 70 80 per cent. The increase in
values has nor been confined

vance has been general throughout the
city. Since the first of January no less
than dozen new additions have been
placed on the market and lots IN all OF

SUMMARY.
SHE KILLED THE SNAKES,
A Dakota Girl Who Easily Got the
Best of Two Mathematics.

A Young lady employed us q domestic
at the residence of Jasper Taylor at
Fargo, Oak, was recently hanging out
some clothes upon line in the rear of
the house, when she was suddenly
startled at the sight of an enormous lat.
tlesnake Just underneath her skirts. The
serpent was at rest in coilcd form with
the rattles slightly erected from the cen.
tire of the coil. 1t was not until the lady,
realizing her danger, stepped back few
PAGES and threw down the clothes she
was hanging that the reptile became ir-
ritated and gave the signal of danger by
vigorous shake Of It's rattles.
accepted the serpcnts wrrnng and
sought safety in the house away from
the snake so much dreaded for its deadly
venom. But not so with our heroine
She immediately grasped piece of
sCantling and prepared to do battle with
one of the most formidable reptiles in
existence. Upon her first approach the
its entire length toward the lady, but
was short of its deadly aim.
She struck her adversary stunning
blow with the stick, and was In the act
Of following 10 up with another more ef-
fective than the first when the sudden
appearance of another rattlcr rather
larger than the one she was about to dis
patch caused a change in the tactics
which she intended to pursue.
Her attention was then directed to
enemy. No. 2. Gathering her skirts close
around her form, the lady made dash
at No. 2, and was annihilating that rep.
tile when No. /, having had resting
spell, during which II regained some OF
its lost vitality, came to the rescue OF
No. 2.
The lady then gave each of the venom
ous serpents alternate blows with her
deadly weapon In quick succession until
fight continued for space of ten min.
utes. The serpents were then hung on
the fence, and by actual measuren,cn
No. was found to be ~ feet, while lis
companion, No. 2, was so feet In length.
The rattles ON tho end Of the tail on one
numbered five, and to the other were ap-
pended six.
