TRUTHFUL JAMES JR.

st. Paul has the honor of holding out
to the admiration of its populace the
champion liar of the Western hemis-
phere. His name will be withheld until
his remains are identified by the police,
or the Salvation Army enlists him. He
met one of the GLOBES reporters yes
terday, and after representing him.
self to be the West side delegate to
the Ramsey County convention for the
determination of tie principal actors in
the faetional fight of the court house
committee, he said that the health de-
partment was the most derelict body in
the municipality. Why, said he, there
has been dead horse lying on poor
little stud cat of mine since Saturday
night. The horse was out soliciting
subscriptions to his appetite in grass
plot, near my house, when he was sud
denly seized with feeling of de-
Spondency, he reeled over and deliber-
ately died. In falling. he covered up
my wife'S cat-the dearest of all cats.
All day Sunday tried to get the eat
out of its desperate position, but no
go, the horse wouldn't bulge and the
cat was in fearful state Of anxiety.
We'll, that horse is still lying there,
while the sun is giving the flies bar
becue. The stencil is something hor-
rible. You can see it and feel it trying
to break in the door and making night
hideouS, it is so loud. / have removed
the horse shoes, but l can't go the rest,
and wish the health office would save
my stud cat for future generations"

IN EVERLASTING DOSES.
Another Bunch of Decisions bV the
Appellate Court.
A BRUTE IN HUMAN FORM.
Horrible Assault That Was Committed
Upon a Married
Woman.

The appeal of the St. Anthony Falls
Water Power Company VS.. The City OF
Minneapolis, respondent, was yesterday
decided in the supreme court. Judge
Mitchell files long opinion reviewing
the case, which hinges upon the water
power of Hennepin island and the II
parian rights of the Flour City below.
The court declares that a riparian
owner may grant part of his estate,
not AUDITING on the stream and as APP
purtenant thereto right to draw water
from the stream through the remaining
land; and for any diversion of the nat
ural flow of the stream disturbing such
right the grantee may maintain an ac-
ton. 1t is held that dam erected by
plaintiff is an unlawful interference
with defendants rights, but that de-
PENDANT has no right to require the re.
moval of the dam, provided plaintiff
furnishes to it through sluicewaY the
amount of power to which it is entitled.
The court therefore remands the cause
to the lower court to determine the eX-
act power which the city of Minneapolis
is entitled TO.

The Golden Gate excursion, which has
been SO extensively planned, will reach
st. Paul at Z o'clock this morning by the,
regular daily train of the st. Paul &
Kansas City road. 1t was first intended
to run a special excursion train and
carry out the idea of the Golden Gate
eXcur sion, as concocted by Manager w.
NJ Jones, of the Northern Pacific.
There were only thirty eXcursiOniSts
who could undertake the trip at

ladies and gentlemen on board the regu-
lar Kansas City train will make the trip
in special cars attached to the express.
In st. Paul the party will be augmented
by five gentlemen who arrived here yes
terday afternoon from Pennsylvania.
They are heavyweight capitalists and

continuing along the coast from Alaska
to Arizona, returning at will on the

A Hot Pot Of Soup Into
Which Gov. Merriam
Falls.
MeGill a Likely Candidate for
Next GubernatoPial j
Fight. ~

Gov. Merriam's- repeated statements
that he has not interfered in the APP
pOintments to state offices not directly
connected with his own are brewing
for him a hot pot of soup, into which
he seems to fall as rapidly as eXtricated.
In regard to the grain inspectors ap-
pointment, which both the governor
and Private Secretary Elliott declared
had not been interfered with, evidence
is coming to light which sadly compli
Gates veracity and bemires the truth.
The GLOBE had it yesterday on the di-
rect statement of Hon. Eli S. Warner,
late secretary of the grain and railroad
commission, that the governor did pre-
vent Capt. James reappointment. and
that whoever denies this, falSitieS. Said
Mr.. Warner:
My only object in making this state
mentiS to have the truth known, and
show the governor that it would be wiser
and better for him to play the part of a
man, and come out and say openly that
he has dictated the outside appointments
of state officers. Capt James had rea-
sonable assurance that he was to be re-
tanned as Inspector. Two of the grain
commissioners had repeatedly assured
him that they favored him.. They would
have selected him had not the governor
prevented them from doing so. He told
them that he would not have. it,. and
they so informed Capt. James. The day
the appointment was made one of the
grain commissioners told me that he,
and another of the commissioners had
gone to Gov. Merriam's residence the
night before and stated their prefer
ence for Capt. James. The governor
said to them then, as he had said before
that he would not stand it, and that
Capt. James could not be reappointed.
He said the same thing to the Minneap
Oils grain men who favored Capt.
James. | wish to make it plain that a
majority of the grain commission would
have retained Capt. James if the gov
error had let them exercise their own
free will"
Capt. James made sturdy fight for
McGill last summer. and it is said that
the governors course toward him was
influenced by the fear that McGill will
be a candidate again next year. Grain
Commissioner Williams is reputed to be
the governors spokesman on the board,
and he is quoted as saying at Fergus
Falls that Capt. James would never be
retained. l.. p. Hunt, of Mankato, is
credited with having had silent hand in
burying the captains hope. The breach
between the McGill and Merriam men
has been materially widened, espec-
tally in the political hot-bed known
as Blue Earth county. 1t is still more
aggravated by the governors refusal to
admit his own handiWork and the odium
such action casts upon the grain COM
mission. In the language of Mr.. War
ner: at is lie to say, that the COVER
nor is not a dictator as toappointmen hts.
His hand is at the bottom of them ALL"

THE GLOBE BABY.

In little white coffin in darkened
room of the Protestant Orphan asylum,
lies dead baby. Beautiful blossoms,
culled from the fairest flower beds OF
this favored city, cover the body OF the
little waif, leaving only glimpse of a
pair of tiny, white hands crossed upon
the breast. The fair, young face, lnn0-
cent as that of the white-clad angel
which hoverS about the bier. waiting to
conduct its occupant to the arms OF
Him whose love for little children is
proverbial, bears an expression OF hap
piness early found. The GLOBE baby
is dead.
Born meath the shadow of murky
cloud, the child of sin. Thrust upon
the world an outcaSt and alone. at an
age when more favored children are the
pride of fond mothers heart. recelV-

mother can give. Nameless, and but
for the charity of kind hearted ladies of
the city, friendless; the little stranger
whose soul has Just winged its flight to
the great unknown is in better than any
earthly hands, in the presence of a more
merciful judge than sits in the courts of
earth.
uLittIe more than a week since the.
GLOBE baby was adopted by wealthy
family on ST. Anthony hill. Clad in the
finest robes produced by the looms OF
America, christened for the first time
in the name of a well-knoWn and
h0nored family, the child WIS taken
from the care of the motherly matron
of the asylum only to be returned next
day on the statement of physician
that the child's health was not OF the
best, and that hereditary blood faint
was present in the system. Reverse
followed reverse, and few days later
the little one succumbed to spinal
meningitis. mourned by the nurses,
and by the ladies whose efforts in his
behalf entitle them to everlasting praise.
The brief career of the innocent vic
tim of a shameful alliance, whose life
has been thus early ended, is infinitely
better as he is than as he might have
been. He has escaped the sneers and
tauntS of hard and unreasoning world,
and in all the sweet innocence Of early
childhood has gone to claim the love
and protection of Him who rules above.

What Is an Assault?

Judgment is affirmed in the appeal OF
James Bagan against the state. Bagan
was indicted and tried in the county
court for the crime of rape committed
by forcibly overcoming the resistance of
the female. The jury found him not
guilty of the offense charged, but guilty
of an assault in the second degree,
which, as applied to the evidence and
charge of the court in this case, is an as
sault with intent to commit felony.
to wit, rape. The appeal is made on al
legged errors of the trial court, but. the,
appellate court holds that on an indict-
ment for rape by overcoming the resist
ance of the female by force, it is not
error to instruct the jury that II they
are satisfied beyond doubt that the de-
PENDANT committed an assault upon the
woman with intent to commit rape they
may convict of an assault in the second
degree. If a man assault woman

her by force, and against her will, not
WithStanding her utmost resistance, the
crime of assault with intent to commit
rape is complete, and if the jury are sat
isfied of this fact they may convict OF
such assault, although they are not sat
iSfied that the subsequent resistance on
the part of the woman was so continued
and persistent as to prove guilt OF the
higher crime of rape.

A Personal Contract.

Benton Murphin is successful in his
appeal against Josiah B. Scovell, of st.
Louis county. Murphin brought an ac-
ton to recover back $500, said to have
been paid by him upon contract made
with defendant ScoveH, for the sale
and conveyance of real property. The
grounds of the appeal are recently set
forth by the court in the syllabus, req
versing the decision of the lower court,
which reads: First-Where one per
son contracts with another to sell and
convey real estate by warranty deed
the vendee is entitled to clear title,
free of defects and encumbrances.
Second-In the case at bar the court
erred in it's charge, in excluding from
the consideration of the jury the prop

reimburse the plaintiff, should he re-
pay and the person who had previously

James is one of them. When Window

James and }. L. Williams had charge of
his business interests in Colorado and
represented him politically in the Min

been taken care of with a fat berth i'll
