The latest rumor regarding at
tenpts upon the lie Of the car, which
rumor caused momentary terror in 81
Petersburg, was that an o:icer had tried

jumping TO his feet tried to effect his es'

ragged, however, pursued him, and biting
at his shoulder, tore large piece Of flesh

however, the horse had knocked Ross 10

Governor Merriam of Minnesota Calls
Out the Militia to Stop
Prize Fight.

Prize Fight.
Some time ago the Minnesota Ath-
letic Club of ST. Paul arranged for prize
fight between Bob Fitzsimmons and jim
Hall, middleweight pugiiists, at ST. Paul
on the 22nd of this month. A large mum
ber Of sports from all parts of the coun-
try congregated at ST. Paul in anticipa-
tion of seeing the mill, but they were dis
appointed.
Governor Merriam issued proclama-
tion TO the sheriff, warning him that he
would be removed if the fight was al
lowed to take place. The municipal au'
thorities bluntly refused to do anything to
stop the fight.
President Cowles OF the Minneapolis
Athletic Club this afternoon gave the
following plaintive statement TO the press: +:
up to noon to day it was hoped that
under fair and reasonable execution of
the law which at most makes prize ight
q misdemeanor and not felony, as is the
case in many other states, the contest
could proceed and the club have the op-
portunity of to some extent covering its
loss. The club asked that the sheriff be
content with arresting the principals and
putting them under bond for future ap-
pearance, and that the law be allowed to
take its course after the event. The sher-
if was disposed TO adopt this policy, but
under threat from the governor Of in
slant removal from Office if he did not
prevent the fighting by any means in the
power of the State, the sheriff was obliged
to notify the club that he should be on
hand prepared to stop the fight.
at was also stated that the governor
ordered the First regiment under arms for
the purpose lof assisting the sheriff. In
such a state of things the club could not
think of proceeding with the contest, and
as the result of u conference in which the
mayor, chief of police, sheriff, county at
torney and the club officials took part al
noon to day, the club threw up the sponge
and declared the fight on The club loses
its deposit of s., 900 as a forfeit to protect
tho contestants, and in addition about
s9, 200 expended in constructing the big
pavilion and for other necessary expenses.
Under the circumstances, the action of the
State authorities was cruel and unjust, as
the fight could and should have been pre-
vented thirty 10 sixty days ago, be
fore dollar of expense had been incurred.
Mayor Smith earnestly urged that the
club go on with the dght, but it was de.
cided to drop it in order to remove all
possibility of disorder or bloodshedn

THERE has been good deal of talk
in the United States concerning the
uselessness of the jury system, and the
desirability of placing a tax on in
comes. Experiments in each of these
directions are about to be tried in
Russia and Germany respectively.
The former has decided to abolish
the jury system and appoint judges. 1t
could be wished that this experiment
might be tried under better auspices,
for there are many thinkers who have
become convinced that the jury system
is not the best for securing justice, but,
as the whole judicial district system of
Russia is a farce in the main. it will
be impossible to estimate the relative

IT Is perfectly true that man may
educate himself very thoroughly with
ont the aid OF school or college; it is
also true thai with the aid of the best
schools and colleges man may make
a very Indifferent Job of his education.
But neither OF these truths has any
just bearing upol the value of school
and college training. To the earnest
student that training is OF very great
value; TO the dolt, the dullard or the
idle fellow nothing is of any effect in
the way OF making him an able man.
Because man with no musical apti-
tude may take lessons on the violin
from the best masters without making
d musician of himself. do not say that
the tuition OF such masters is worth

fight just now, wherein justice is ar.
rayed against injustice; right against
wrong; integrity in public life
against corruption in high places an
economical administration of the
government against wasteful oXtrav-
agance of the public funds. The two
great issues now before the Ameri

tariff and the free coinage Of silver
They are the measures to which the
people confidently look for relief,
and they naturally look to the sue
