FROM AFFAIR.

The wind is blowing.
The stars are glowing
So are thine eyes. my sovereign queenI
UP in the heaven the moon Is riding
Above the clouds she is gliding, gliding
Gazing at thee, ween.
Her light is passing,
The clouds are massing,
The shadows reign supreme
Thy love eludes me,
Thy glance deludes me,
Mocking, with eyes that dream.
Thou fair moon maiden.
Ny heart is laden.
Laden with longing deep With despair.
Thy strange alluring.
My soul lmmuring.
Leaves It captive there.
The world doth claim thee;
i do not blame thee;
Only the darkness is mine.
IT still contents me
That naught prevents me,
Afar, l may watch thee shine.
The moon is out, and the earth is black,
And the sun is Quenched in its fiery track,
And the stars are drowned and my heart is dead
The darkness reigns where the light hath fed
IT'S the end of all it's the hand OF fate,
And with folded arms wait, wait.
From afar no more I may watch thee shine,
Aud the darkness Is mine, and thine,

Keep away from that saloon, boys.

whisky, cigars, candy and sometimes
fruits and nuts are These are

redeemable at the counter in the outer
room. This may be all you will see
If YOU 90 in there a few times; but
by.and-by you will see a grinning,
dunLeyed creature staring at you from
me mirror on the wall. Perhaps he
will make his appearance while you
are waiting for more beer, and you
will never think it is a reflection OF
yourself. But there is worse in that
saloon. There is poverty, disgrace
and death sold over that counter, paid
for often in money which should buy
bread for starving ones.
Yet this is an elegant saloon, fur
nished in palatial style, brilliantly
lighted and RECALLED with music. The
evil spirit seems to have spent his
greatest cunning in Disgusting the
horrors of intemperance. Boys will

Boys, do not do rs they have done.
Don't exchange your good thoughts,
your bright hopes for intoxicating

and make the other half contemplate.

THE LIABILITY ACT.
How Morning Paper Made Big
BlundeP,

The Pioneer Press emitted a large
sized editorial howl Sunday about an
employers liability act, said to be be-
fore the house. There is no such bill
before the house. The bill drafted by
MesSrs. Morgan and Forbes, and which
was submitted to the house Friday
night, and which the Pioneer Press
might have had Saturday, reads as fol-
lows:
An act entitled an act to define the
liability of employers to their servants
engaged in dangerous employmentS,
and to repeal chapter 13 of the General
Laws of Minnesota for the year 1887.
Wheresafter the passage of this act per-
sonal injury is caused to any servant
or employe, by the negligence Of any
other servant or employe. such servant
or employe, or in case the injury re-
suits, IN death the personal representa-
ives of such servant or employe. shall
have the same right of recovery, cause
OF action and remedies against the en-
ployer as if such injured servant or en-
plOye, or the servant whose negligence
caused the injury had not been in the
service of such employer. Provided
that the provisions of this act shall only
apply to those employments in which
dangerous machinery or Instrumental
ties are used, and from the use of
which machinery or instrumentalities
such servant was killed or injured. All
acts and parts of acts including chapter
Is of the General Laws of Minnesota
for the year 1887, inconsistent with this
act are hereby repealed.

Senator Goodrich put in bill pro-
viding that no child shall be adopted
unless by the consent of both of its
parents, unless it is abandoned, or the
father and mother have become insane.
Senator Ives pool bill is having a
checkered career. The bill was upon
the calendar for yesterday. but was
laid over until to-day, the lynx eye of
the st. Peter legislator detecting the
opposition was too strong. and prefer
ring to wait until more friends of the
measure were present.
After an absence of several weeks

legislative deck. His short Sojourn I'M

cry from all quarters of the chamber. q
Senator Halvorsen failed in securing,
the passage of his bill creating a fund to
allow each county auditor to provide
fuel. postage stamps, etc., for county
officials. 1t was indefinitely postponed
by 20 votes to II.
Though looking very pale, Senator
Nachbar was yesterday enabled to re-
sumo his legislative duties. He had
sport, severe attack of pneumonia.
Senator Nachbar was cordially greeted
upon his speedy recovery.
AT last! The bribery investigation
charges were agreed to by the senate.
There was nc opposition. Senators
bowed to the inevitable-S8S6.
Senator Crandall is opposed to village
councils granting franchises. and said so
in opposition to Senator Browns bill
authorizing villages to contract for vii
lage lights. Senator Eaton moved to
have Wright county excepted, and this
led Senator Ives to doubt its constitu-
tionality. Mr.. Brown then had the bill
re-referred to him.
DR.. A. Sweeney, of ST. Paul, has been
appointed by Gov. Merriam to fill the
vacancy on the state medical board ere
ated by the resignation of Dr.. E. S.
Wood. The senate has confirmed the
appointment.
1t is a fight between Senator Ives and
Senator Smith as to legislation to be

A STATE WEATHER BUREAU.
Objections Are Raised as to the
Efficacy of Such an Institution.

Though the finance committee have
recommended an appropriation of $4,000
for state weather bureau, the bill
introduced creating such a bureau is
meeting considerable opposition in the
senate. Senator Schetfer is the author
of the bill, and he stated that for two
years state weather service had been
maintained by the st. Paul chamber of
commerce. The cost was $4,000 per an
mum. A similar bill passed the senate
two years ago, but was lost among the
hundreds of bills which came to an IN
timely end in the house at the end of
that session.
Senator HiXSon stated that he opposed
the bill two years ago, and argued the
bureau was simply to inform ''fellows
in these bucket-shops" the condition of
the crops of the state and give some
man fat job"
Senator Scheffer-The st. Paul cham
Der of commerce is as far removed from
a bucket-shop as the gentleman from
Grant. The members are mostly old
settlers and the most respected citizens
of st. Paul.
There was an evident lack of knowl-
edge among senators as to the functions
of the state weather bureau and that of
the national government, so Senator
Scheffer agreed to the laying over of his
bill until the required information was
forthcoming.

THE SIOUX MASSACRE.
Shall Monuments Be Erected to
the Heroes OF go?

the Heroes OF go?
A breeze was raised over bill pro-
posed by Senator Hoard, which appro-
PIRATES $500 for the purchase of burial
lot and erection of monument over
the graves of twelve citizens of Swift
county who were massacred by Sioux
Indians. Senator Goodrich could not
see any object in building monuments
out on the prairie. His real objection
to the bill was: There were great
many people massacred by the Sioux
massacre of 1862. and if they built one
monument it would be necessary to
build long line of them through four
or five counties. There would be no
end to it.
Senator Hoard eloquently urged the
passage of the bill, adding: We have
here an instance where citizens OF Swift
county, returning peacefully from
church, were seized and masSacred by
the Indians during that terrible time.
1t seems to me that we cannot more ap-
propriately express our idea of the her.
oism of the people during that massacre.
and of the terrible seventies they suf-
fered at the hand of the Indians, nor
can we preach a sermon more eloquent
to our children of deeds of patriotism
than by expanding this small amount
towards securing for the use OF the
state the ground upon which these peo-
pie bled and died, and in which they are
buried.
Senator Goodrich-TEeir deeds are re-
corded in the history of the state, and
there they will remain to the end of
time.
There was also opposition offered by
Senators Brown, Bowen and Eaton, and
in the end the bill was saved from d E.
feat by being re-referred to Senator
Hoard

CINCINNATI, March 26.-The burial
of Stanley Matthews, late associate JUS
tice of the supreme court of the United

mony. The remains arrived this MORN

etery station of Winton Place, where
the undertaker's hearSe and carriages
met the train. at Spring Grove Gene
terry very large assemblage of friends
and acquaintance of the distinguished
dead had gathered. The burial service
of the Protestant Episcopal church was
used, the rector being Rev. DIR. PiSe, of
Glendale. The day was delightfully."- clear
and balmy, and the aSSemblage at the
grave was one of more than ordinary
interest. Besides the members of the
family and the justices of the supreme
court and others from Washington,
there were present Gov. Foraker, Lieut..
Gov. Lyon, members of the Ohio senate,
a committee of the house of representa-
tives, Henry WatteTsOn from Louis

latter placed on the grave the usual en-

the words Loyal Legion" in purple.
Flowers from the president and Mrs.

the grave. The family went to Glen
