STRIKERS IN COURT.
Car Men and Others Who Threw
Eggs and Yelled sScab.,

There was simply crush at the mu-
nicipal court room yesterday morning,
III attendance upon the trial of the
people arrested on the street for disor-
derby conduct and the blockading of
streets and sidewalks during the excite
ment in running the street cars. Many
wishing to get inside were turned away
during the morning, and the doorkeeper
finally admitted only attorneys and
witnesses. A majority of those arrested
the day previous had been arraigned at
the time, and had given bail for their
appearance in court. Most of the cases
were called up and set for trial along dur
ing this week and next. Those who had
been confined in the central lookup
over night, in default of bail, were
called up and tried or their cases were
continued. the prisoners being released
upon their personal obligation to return
here on the day fixed for hearing. In
the trial of the cases, where it APP
peared that offenders had not commit
ted any overt act, such as yelling
"Scab," etc., or throwing eggs or
stones at the street cars as they
went by, Judge Emery suspended
Upon pleas Of guilty where parties had
maze a puOllc disturbance by yelling
along the street, the fines imposed were
SO, but where stones and eggs were
thrown at passing cars the offenders
were assessed from $40 to s25. The most
prominent among the cases tried was
that of William Hickey. ap employee of
one of the Touring mills. who was
charged with throwing a large stone
through car window as it passed the
Milwaukee wards mOuntpd officer
claimed to have seen him throw the
stone and arrested him. This morning
he appeared with five or six witnesses,
who all swore that they were with him
at the time and that he was innocent of
the charge. Hewas discharged. Charles
Anderson, charged with a similar Of
tense, was found guilty and paid fine
of, S25. The total number of cases
brought into court was forty-one and
over thirty were convicted of minor
charges

THE VETS AND DRYs.

The vote on the prohibitory amend
ment in Massachusetts is to be taken
next Monday. and as the time ap-
proaches there is unusual animation
over the state. The interest is en-
HANGED by the participation of both
sides in the public canvass. Graceful

FIELD is one of the most graceful and
effective on the wet side. Her positive
ness in that direction she attributes
very considerably to her experience in
Iowa. In one of the most rigid prohi-
bition towns she tested the law by east
ly procuring half-pint of brandy.
She had it analysed and found it the
vilest concoction-one that should con-

THE WOMAN EXPERIMENT.

The novelty of having mayor and
council composed entirely of women, as
in some of those Kansas towns, attracts
general attention and provokes curios-
ity to know whether there is any steady
business in it or but temporary freak.
1t would not be gallant or just to pre-
sumo that the good ladies will grow
weary of the duties they have sought,
and the eye had better rest upon the
regimen they prescribe. At Oskaloosa
they allow the barber shops, drug stores
and livery stables to keep open on Sun
day, but put their official feet down on
the sale of bread, tobacco and ice cream.
The last is the surprising excision. The
young men under eighteen are required
to be off the streets after p. m. The
regulations so far are all for the rectifi-
cation of the male element, but as these
are exhausted possibly there will be
rules for giddy females. They may find
it necessary to hold the vote of the men
to fix the stature of the female hat and
limit the plates of ice cream she may
impose upon her escort; possibly, even
to prohibit the chewing of gum.

M'GAUGHEY EXPLAINS.
He Addressed a Large Meeting Of
the Strikers Last Night.

About 200 of the striking street car
men met at the Labor Temple last even
ing and listened to addresses by j. P.
McGaughey. E. NJ. Tiff, Mr.. Kennedy
and others. Mr.. McGaughey explained
his position in reference to
the conference with Mr.. Lowry
at some length, and when he had
finished his address, the men present
decided that he had taken the proper
stand. The men were confident that
things would turn out all right for
them, and they decided to wage the bat
tie with renewed vigor, using only
peaceful means, however.
1t was stated at the meeting that the
city council intended to use Good Fri
meeting, hoping by this means to
avoid touching any matters con-
nected with the strike. Accordingly
committee, consisting of Messrs. Nc
Carthy, Bissell, Clark, Tiff, Erickson,
Swift, McGurk, Coleman, Kruse and
Kennedy, was appointed to call upon
the aldermen this morning and insist
upon session of the council. This
committee will also presentto the coun-
ell the petition asking the legislature to
pass the bill allowing the city to condemn
the street car property and then pur-
chase it. A committee was also ap-
pointed to see what could be done
toward establishing line of herdics to
run all over the city. The Transfers
union sent in resolution sympathizing
with the strikers and rendering them
their moral and financial aid
as far as possible in their
struggle with corporate greed. The
resolution warmly Endorses the resolu-
tons at the Bridge square mass meet

HOW IT Is.

1t is now known that the sugar trust
last year paid a dividend of 10 per
cent on S5O,0OO,OOO capital, besides ac-
cumulating a large surplus in addition
to the sum distributed. At the end of
he first quarter of this year, the Or
ganization paid 215 per cent dividend,
and at the same time gave to the hold
ers of certificates dividend of per
cent in stock.
The capital stock of $4,000, 600 repre-
sehts plant in which it was estimated
when the trust was formed, that about
Sl5,000.000 had been invested, thus it
will be seen that the certificate holders
are really getting about so per cent
dividend.
Naturally it would be supposed that
this gigantic concern would be satisfied
with these extraordinary large profits.
But there seems to be no limit to the
greed of these combines. Within the
last few weeks the sugar trust has
raised the price of the leading grades of
sugar II cents pound. The high
duties on imported refined sugars shut
out competition and give the trust
almost the entire business of the United
States. Thus we see how the tariff is
perverted for the protection of a COM
bination in It's exercise of the unlawful
use of corporate franchise.

Nearly $4,000 are here and will fall in
line. They have been ordered to move
in an orderly manner along the estab-
lished trails. If any fences are des-
troyed or other depredations committed,
the whole line will be stopped, and the
guilty ones turned back. The grand
procession will be accompanied by
twenty to thirty reporters On ponies,
now stationed with cavalry at
Chillicoo Greek. The trouble, if
any, will soon begin. The Chicago
camp began moving in line last night,
Among those with that colony were: NJ.

Minor Incidents Picked Up Dur
inn

ing the Great Tie Up.
An evening paper reporter allowed
his excitement to get away with him
yesterday afternoon. During the dis
turbance on Washington avenue north,
and Ninteenth avenue, window was
broken, and this reporter wrote up the
event, stating that the whole front of
the building had been smashed in.
One Ford, the leader of the "scab''
engineers who went out to the motor
junction yesterday afternoon. and who
boaSted that he had been ''scab" for
fourteen years, grew trifie fresh about
supper time. and began abusing crowd
OF men standing near. A tall young
fellow stepped out and inside of two
minutes Ford had been knocked around
so much that he had was too weak to ask
for mercy. He was knocked down no
less than five times, and then sent
away in a hack. He will not be on
hand to take out a motor this morning.
Two young fellows from the country
drove cars for one consecutive trip.
They then saw that they were making
an error and left their ''yObS."
Three conductors left their cars for
good when the stones began to fly up at
the Nineteenth avenue north barn.
1t was stated last evening that fifty
men were on their way here from Dodge
City. To-, to take out cars.
A lady residing i'll the Eighth ward
went out on Fourth avenue car, and
before the car had reached the end of
the line she had induced the conductor
to abandon his situation.
The conductors on the University
avenue line were furnished with
change by the company when they
started out.
One of the conductors on the Fourth
avenue line left his car at the turn
table and clambered on to one of the
union buses. ''I'm through he an

from whence issued the merry sound of
jngling coin. ''All / wanted was to

There was good demand for back

Perhaps some of the ''scabs'' could tell
to what use those eggs were put.
The women of North Minneapolis
will organize for work this morning.
Everybody up there is in perfect SYM
pathy with the strikers.
1t only needed word to start a full
sized, douDle-yolded riot On Washing
ton avenue north, in the afternoon.
The policemen charged with aiding
the drivers and conductors to
handle the cars deny it most emphatic
ally.
The street car company announces
that all the old employees who want to
go back to work at the reduced scale
can do so after signing the iron-clan, as
it is termed.
Mayor Babb says that the public is in
sympathy with the strikers.
The police laugh at the idea that there
are Pinkerton secret service men In the
city.
The police force covered itself all
over with glory during the day. Every
man kept his head remarkably well,
and did not go beyond a certain point
in carrying out his orders.

AN Old THEORY UPSET.

Parties who have collected the facts
in numerous recent cases of suicide find
that they are rarely the result of tenn
porary impulse, but the elimination of
well matured purpose. Out of seven
or eight cases lately, nearly every one
could be traced to an intention eXhib-
tied from one to ten days previous. In
no case was there evidence of insanity
found in any acts committed by them
The theory that suicide is always the re-
suit OF an unbalancing of the mind
seems to have little countenance unless
it is assumed that the fact is itself evil
dence of fermentation. If the suicide
persuades himself he has moral right
to destroy his own life, he goes no fur
Their than thousands who don't want to
leave the world and are regarded as fair
ly balanced as the average of mankind.
1t is the moral element rather than the
intellectual that needs developing to
prevent suicides. The lesson needs in
culcating that self killing is as infa-
nous morally as the murder of another.
