COnfining an Insane Man in Steele

COnfining an Insane Man in Steele
County Poorhouse.
Il met with peculiarly pathetic case
some two weeks ago down in Steele
county," said Secretary Hart of the
state board of corrections and charities,
at the Windsor hotel last evening. 81
found an old man named Erwin con-
fined in the p0OrhOuSe. 1t is, [ feel
gratifed to relate. the only case of the
kind have found in the state. He was
a pauper. and he was locked up in a
little room or cell about 6xS. | should
say. He was subject to tits and cOnsid-
cred, from popular judgment, danger
OuS man, and he was thus incarcerated
by the approval of the county commits
sioners. The doors and windows were
barred.
Il thought the matter over soberly.and
concluded that if he were really a
lunatic he should be sent to an asylum
If not, then this restraint was an un-
Warrantable persecution. and it would
be better that he be sent to Jail for
incorrigibility or some other cause that
would prevent his possible commission
of OffenseS. | went back last week to
give the matter more minute inveStiga-
tiOn and interviewed the chairman of
the board of county commissioners and
the county physician. l learned that
the proceedings taken had been within
the technicality of the law, and then |
insisted upon an investigation relative
to the prisoners sanity. He was
adiudged insane and has been COM
mitted to the Rochester asylum.
"This is really an abuse of the poor
house possibilities that has troubled
and distressed the older states for a
long time, but we have been comparat-
lively free from the evil. Insane peo-
pie, / am informed, are Often kept in
pOorhOuseS in other states, and the ma
tural tendency is to prevent such incar-
cerati0n, but our policy is TO prohibit
it."

r. w. de'Lambert and A. L. Stout,
special agents of the interior depart

Rainy river region on all expedition to
investigate timber trespassing upon
government lands. 1t is the intention
of United States District Attorney Hay,
backed up by the interior department.
to put quietus upon timber stealing in
the northern part of the state, The big
timber dealers along the Canadian
border give the most trouble, but they
manage to save themselves by carrying
on an intrigue with unfortunate resi-
dents along the border, and VINO are the
ones most likely to be caught. 1t is not
the intention to punish those who cut
fuel for their own use, but ii is de-
termined to pOunce upon the big ODer

Worlds Fair Commissioners Meet
and Prepare a Programme.
The worlds fair commission will de-
eide some of the most salient features
of its prospective work at the meeting
that will be held in the capitol at 8
O'Clock this morning. A sort of a con-
ference was held yesterday in the gov
ernor's rooms. The chief executive of
the state was absent. as was Hon.
Charles MeC. Reeve, of Minneapolis,
Senator La Due, OF Luverne, ana Mr..

ance were Prof. o. V. Tousley, of Min

both members of the national commits
sion and eX-members of the state COM
mission, and Hon. j. J. Furlong, l.. p.
Hunt, Col. MOnfort ard j. n. Lam

major part of the afternoon, and the
burden of the discussion was pertinent
to to-day's meeting. The proposition
that has more recently been so widely
agitated concerning ways and means
and an extra session of the legislature
with a view to securing an additional

ORGANIZED FOR WORK.
Democrats Will This Evening
Meet and Discuss the Outlook.

Democrats Will This Evening
Meet and Discuss the Outlook.
The Minnesota Democratic aSsocia-
ton is considerably less than one year
old, but it is a political body that is
daily demonstrating that it was organ
lied for work. For some time past Sec
retary Smalley has been hard at work
collecting statistics from all parts of the
state preparatory to making a compila-
ton that will be of ineSumable value
TO the committee that will be called
upon to fight the next cam
paign. For the purpose of learning
the views of the members of the
state committee a meeting has been
called for tonight at the headquarters
of the association. Here the committee
men will meet the executive committee
of the association and discuss with them
the work that has been done, as well as
map out something for the association
to do in the future.
The work now being carried on by the
ASSOCIATION deserves the heartleSt sup
port of all loyal Democrats, both be-
cause of its quality and also because it
is the first effort that has been made
with any show of success for a thor
ough and successful organization of
the Democratic hosts. Heretofore the
party has entered the campaign with
out any preparation. No State COM
mittee in the few weeks given
between the conventions and the cleo
ton could secure any kind of all 0rgani-
zation. Last fall, for example, the pres
ent state committee commenced the
battle without anything to work on, and
the first month was used in getting
small moiety of the information that its
predecessor ought to have bequeathed
it. The previous committee entered
the campaign of 1888 in the same
way. OF course this is one of
the usual incidents to a minority
party, but now it is proposed to change
all this and place the Democracy of
Minnesota in battle array. This is the
object of the Democratic association,
and its flattering success so far bodies its
complete success in its great work.
