FREE PASS LIABILITIES.

A case recently decided in Illinois Is
encouraging to legislators and others
who travel to oblige the railroads.
State Senator SoUTHwORTH, of Litch-
field. having an extensive law practice.
made liberal use of the compliment
ary pasteboards. These had the usual
written agreement upon the backs, that
the party accepting should not hold the
roads responsible for accidents to the
deadheads. On one of his trips the
cars jumped the track, and the senator
was considerably shaken up. He was
made uncomfortable, although no alarm
was felt by his friends or the life insnr-
ance companies. Being a lawyer, he
brought his own suit for damages, and
was awarded $500. This was $1,000
more than the valuation would have
been in case of fatality. Juries in that
section are apt to be liberal when rail-
road is the defendant. In this case the
road has taken an appeal, and it will no
doubt go to the highest court of the
state. or perhaps the United States. 1t
is a matter of some interest to those
who travel on passes to have the ques-
tion settled, whether any agreement
can relieve the road from liability in
case of accident,

TALES OF THE WEST SIDE.
A Big Lot Of Legal Cases In Pickle for
Next Week.
AFTER THE NEW COLLEGE
Innocent Mad Dog Scare---Aceident to q

There will be lively business in the
Sixth ward courtnext week. The cases
set for next Tuesday are those of
Charles b. Hess against W. B. Gray
and A. j. Wescott, H. G. Kirsch against
Adolph Koerning, same against August
Mielhouser, same against Blecklenger,
same against Joe Mackser, same against
Soren Madson-all separate suits to re-
cover bills for goods sold and delivered; {;
Henry Henly against Henry Wageman,
DR.. F. A. Kanten against A. N. K0untZ.
The case of the Pacific Wine House
against F. Emmert was tried and de-
cided in favor of the plaintiff, with
costs. The case of M. l.. French against
Joe Levi came up yesterday and was
continued one week. The case is a
somewhat curious one, in which the
plaintiff sues to recover $1.95 claimed to
he due him from the defendant, defend
ant filing an answer claiming that there
is balance of 40 cents the other way,
and asks that judgment be given for
him in that amount, with costs. The
business of the court is of a much more
extensive nature than was anticipated,
and Judge McMartin has all he and his
assistants can attend to.

NOTARIEs PUBLIC.

In connection with the developments
of the big real estate swindle occurs the
suggestion that some Improvement
might be made in the method OF ap-
pointing notaries public. 1t is plainly
evident from the developments that
have thus far been made that there is
degree of carelessness in relation to ap-
pointments of this character totally in
consistent with the public interests.
We have reason to believe that anybody
who makes application for an appoint
ment as notary public, and who files the
bond required by law, will receive
commission. This is all wrong. The
Office of notary public is of more real
Importance than is ordinarily consid-
cred, and is an Office which every jack
anapes who comes along is not entitled
to hold.
In fact, a notary public should be
man of the highest respectability, OF
sound Judgment and discretion, and
thoroughly reliable; and no applicant for
the office should be commissioned unless
the governor is satisfied that he pos
sesses all these qualities. The oppor-
tunities for rascally appointee to
work harm are abundantly demon
strated in the revelations which have
already been made in the big swindling
operations so recently unearthed in this
city, and in which the notary public
seems to have been the handspring OF
the job. With none but honest notaries
in office, possessed of the ordinary sense
of discrimination, it would be impossi-
BILE for deed forger to work his scheme
successfully. Under the circumstances
we feel justified in calling the attention
of the governor to the necessity for re-
vising the methods of appointments, and
to institute stricter scrutiny into the
character of applicants who may here
after apply for nOtarial commissions.
We are not saying this in a spirit of
censure or faultfnding, particularly
because it has always been the custom
to pursue this loose policy; yet we do
think that the time has come for a re-
form in this direction.

A SURE FOUNDATION.

It has not been customary to look to
pioneer and border settlements for the
highest types of culture, refinement and
religion. In the character of their pop
ulation the Dakotas afford little sugges-
ton of what have been known as frontier
communities. For enterprise and all
the panoply Of high civilization it is
conceded that no section is in advance,
aside from the disposing requirements
of time; but it is little surprising to
find the primitive explorer and border
ranger, Hon. JUD LA INQUIRE, sending
forth clarion voice from Pembina to
the trainers of organic law of North Da-
kota, to build upon the 'Rock of Ages"
He would have them ''insert clause
recognizing the Christian religion, the
sanctity of the Sabbath and the Bible
as text book liz the school S." These,
he goes on to say, are the vital princi-
Piles to lift the race out of darkness and
despair into the light of righteousness
and truth. LA INQUIRE was among the
earliest settlers, and has lived with In
dians and on the verge of civilization,
and has been counted among ''the gang"
that manipulated politics SO notably.
He is now very possible senator or
congressman, and his opinions have
public interest. There has been no such
high delivery from ORDwAY, PIERCE
or ALLEN. He may have discovered
that the great need of the new state is
Christian statesman in the senate.

sPoKANE,S NATIVITY.

There is some controversy in horse
circles in Illinois and Montana over the
nativity of Spokane, the cyclonic
equine that has broken all the records
of American Derbys. The parents of
Spokane belonged to Gen. RowETT, a
noted breeder of running stock at Car
linville. ILL.,, and that community in
sists that the famous colt was born and
bred there. 1t is among the local
legends, even, that Gen. RowETT re-
garded him as so ungainly and unprom-
ising an animal that he proposed at one
time to kill him. The Montana version
is that NOAH ARMSTRONG had bought
the colt Grey Cloud of Gen. RowETT,
and was so pleased with it that on hear
ing of the death of the general, and
that his stock was all to be sold. he
went to the sale and bought the mare
Interpose, which foaled Spokane in
Montana. There are some loose joints
Sin this story, as Gen. RowETT died at
the Chicago races two years ago. and
Spokane is three years Of age. The
Illinois claim seems to be little the

CAN'T BE CONVICTED.

So the Criminal Cases Against
Dorsey ct al. Are Nolle Pressed.
WASHINGTON, June 2S.-The docket
of the criminal court of the District of
Columbia was to-day finally cleared of a
number of cases which have been on
the books ever since the initiation of
the celebrated star route cases against
ex-senator Stephen w. Dorsey,
Thomas j. Brady and others. Dis
trict Attorney Hoge stated in court this
morning that there were twenty-four of
these cases on the docket, and that the
government had failed to secure con-
viction in the main case. His predecessor
had recommended to the attorney gen.
eral that they be nolle pressed, but
nothing had been done in the matter.
Recently friends of the parties called on
the attorney general who had instructed
him to use his discretion in the
matter. Mr.. Hoge said it would
be impossible to get convictions
in these cases, and that he did not think
the ends of justice would be subserved
by prosecution. He, therefore, asked
leave to nolle pros the cases, and the
court directed that this be done. The
indictments in these cases charged con-
spiracy and perjury against the defend
ants, among whom are John w. Dorsey,
Stephen w. Dorsey, William Pitt Kel-
logg, John r. Miner, Thomas j. Brady.

Prince, the capital Of Hayti, and ask a
reception by Legltime, but if before he
should reach that country Hippolyte
should have 0verthrown Legitime and
set himself up as provisional president,

hearing favorabIy from the operators,
the miners of the Gallitzin coal and
coke company went out On strike to
day, and the Bells Gap company has
determined to join in the strike on July

the demand. The Frugality company.
in which Vice President Morton is in.
terested, employs, with certain small
operators, about 1900 men. They say
they cannot great the advance. the

SWISS PLUCK.

Switzerland is small, and has prob
ably been able to keep out of the big
melees on account of its size. Recently
it has had occasion to resent some i'm
pertinence or officiousness of Bis
MARcK, and shows its pluck by decid-
ing to borrow the three millions needed
to furnish it's little army with repeating
rifles. The mountain republic has the
finest sharpshooters in Europe, and
conld make an invasion by Germany
very costly in lives. 1t could not hold
out, of course, against any large army.
but it would be apt to have the aid of
France in collision with Germany. Its
grit will probably save it from serious
difficulty.

Tbev WANT the College,

A meeting will be held at the Office of
Ickler & Benedict on Dakota avenue
this morning to consider measures for
securing the location of the Norwegian
Lutheran college in West st. Paul. The
committee on sites will arrive here on
July 9. and the intention is by that time
to have decided on making an offer of
land sufficiently valuable to induce the
location of the college as desired. Sew
eral real estate owners who desire to see
the college located on this side of the
river have expressed their willingness
to donate sufficient realty to form a
splendid site for the institution. The
committee will report on their work and
file recommendations on July 10.

MILITARY ENCAMPMENTs.

This is the season of the year when
our citizen soldiery constituting the
national guard have their annual en-
campments. These military organiza-
tions are regarded of sufficient i'm
portance by the state to justify regular
appropriations from the public treasury
to defray the expenses of these encamp-
ments, and the value of maintaining these
volunteer regiments and companies is
duly appreciated by the public. In
order to preserve their efficiency, it is
necessary to maintain strict military
discipline, and one of the rules of our
state army is that the several companies
must have rs per cent of their enlisted
men at these encampments; otherwise
the company falling to come up to the
mark will be examined with view to
mastering out.
d Most of the members of those organ
izations, particularly here in the Twin
Cities, are young men who are in the
employ of various business houses. 1t
is understood that some of their en-
ployers object to dispensing with their
services during the time that their COM
panies will be in camp, and are accord
ingly trying to prevail upon them to
stay at home. and it is reported that in
some instances they have been threat
ened with discharge in case they insist
upon going to the encampment. We
hope that this is a mistake, for if 1t
were true it would be gross exhibition
on the part of their employers of a lack
of patriotism. Every public-spirited
citizen must realize the necessity for
keeping up these military organiza-
tions. and as we are so largely depend
ent upon the young men of the COM
munity to keep up the standard of
membership, our business houses can
not afford to take such course as has
been indicated. The business firm that
pursues such selfish course at once
proclaims itself in hostility to the pub
lie interests, and, of course, should not
expect further continuance of public
patronage. We appeal to our business
men in both cities to take a reasonable
view of this matter, and, instead of re-
straining the young men in their en-
ployment, encourage them to perform
their duties as citizen soldiers.

THIsTLEs WIN 1T.
Tho Shaw Cup Again Goes to the
Old Champions.


Old Champions.
A large and enthusiastic crowd were
present at the grounds Of the Thistle
Foot Ball club last evening to witness
the champions defeat the Strollers in
the second game of the final series for
the Shaw challenge cup by exactly the
same score as in in the preceding game,
6 to l. McKendrick lost the toss, and at
1880 kicked off against a pretty strong
breeze. After some exciting play in
mid-field, Hart and Charters took the
center by the latter. Douglas with a
beautiful header put in the first point.
Stirred up by this the StrOllers
proceeded to make it hot for
the Thistles' Defense, but gradually
the play was transferred to
the other end of the field when Char
teris after some exciting play put in
the second point. A few minutes later
Mcmillan, with magnificent shot
from mid-field, put in the third point,
goal keeper and backs being rushed
through goal. From this on the Stroll
lers pressed the Thistles, and from a
corner kick, beautifully placed by. Lo.
gan, the ball bObbed about from head
to head till Cronin smartly headed it
through. Towards the end of this half
the Thistles pressed the StrOllers and
gained several corner kicks, but were
unable to score, and with the score
standing to the teams ceased war.
On play oeing resumed, MAGNIFICENT
passing run by theChampions; forwards
took the ball right down to the
Strollers' goal, but D. Pringle re-
lieved with flying kick to mid-field.
and for about three minutes the
play was fast and furious, the forwards
on both sides showing some exception
ally fine dribbling and passing, while
the far all-rOund play of the half
backs and the power-kicking. of the,
backs, called forth hearty rounds Of ap-
plause. Finally, however, from a nice
center by Douglass, Hart got an easy
chance, and put on number four.
Again the ball was started, and from a
good short by Mcmillan, Wilson neatly
headed the ball through, McKendrick
attending to the g0alkeeper, and
a few minutes later the popular little
right winger, Billy Wilson, put on the
switch point, with a beautiful cross
short, which no goal keeper could have
saved. Although defeated, the Stroll
lers played good and plucky game,
DuC the champions I'd man were III
magnificent form, and played the
finest game of the season. There
was not a single weak point
in the team. The Thistles have played
eleven games and won them all, scoring
seventy-four goals and losing eight.
Following are the teams:
Strollers-Goal, P. Hart; backs. D. Pringle.
A. Price; half f-backs, G. Logan, D. Hastings
