A Question Deserving the
Closest Attention Of Pa
triotic Citizens. g

Secretary Hart, of the board Oflfc6r
rectionS and charities, was yestetday
notified of the burning of the Moonhead
city jail. in which a prisoner incarcer-
ated for some petty Otfense was burned
beyond recognition. Mr.. Hart said he
was not in the least surprised, and it
was 4 matter of cons tanJ wonder to him
that such awful occurrences were not
even more frequent. The majority of
country jailS. he says, are constructed
more with view to economy and Secur-
lty than with any pretenSe of regard for
the comfort, convenience or safety of
the inmates. This is the sixth time
since his connection with the board
that he has been called upon to take
official notice of fatalities exactly SINH
lar to the one at MOOrhead, while On as
many more occasions inmates of county
Jails and village lockupS have narrowly
escaped cremation. Many of the jails,
says the secretary, are disgrace to
civilization and the state, being in
tested with vermin, filthy and I'M
healthy. A special feature of his
work has been the effort to impress
upon the authorities of towns and vii
lagos the necessity OF paying more at
tentiOn TO the condition of their lockupS.
Many of the authorities seem to think
that 800 or $500 is enough to spend OIL
lOckups, and they provide sty for the
safe Keeping of prisoners in which they
would not keep their cattle. Such OBJ
ject lessons as the Moorhead casualty,
he says, should be enough to emphasize
the necessity for Jail reform, but the
lessons of the past seem to have had no
great effect, and Mr.. Hart hopes the
newspapers will take the matter up and
insist upon the improvements needed.

Heavy Damages Awarded for
Breach OF Promise.
Emma Juliet Us. John Jacob Romeo;
action for breach of promise; damages
laid at $4,000.
This case was tried last night, not be-
fore the district court of Ramsey coun-
ty, but before mock tribunal erected
at the First Nj. T.. church. The name
OF the learned judge who presided will
not be sent huStliug down the cor
ridorS of time, and the other names of
the parties 10 the suit are withheld
for prudential reasons. Attorney Ben
nett appeared for the fair plaintiff, and
the case of the false Romeo was man
aged by Attorney Lane. Several exhib-
It's were placed III evidence, one being a
jar OF some saline but transparent
liquid which proved to be an aggrega-
ton of 10000 tears shed by Juliet dur
Ing the past year. Several tender let
tiers, breathing unalterable devotion,
were also placed before the jury, and
when the plaintiff rested there was
a disposition OH the part of the
audience to summarily deal with the
fckle 1omeo IN plan peculiarly West
ern in makeup. But when John Jacob
pathetically tod the jury that Emma
wore bangs, was artificially made up,
used face powder and habituallv wore
breath that was cross between onions
rampant and beer PEASANT, public senti-
ment took a hitch in its trousers and
hesitated. Finally, when Romeo proved
by reputable physicians that ,JuIiet's
cooking gave him heart disease and i'll
growing tOenailS the spectators groaned
audlbly. However, Juliet;s smile was
too much for the susceptible jury, and
a verdict was returned for the plaintiff.
Romeo was ordered to eat twenty of
Juliet's doughnuts and then marry her.

ROUNDED Up SURELY.
Thieves and Plumber Secured by
fne DateCfiVes

Two weeks ago horse and buggy be-
longing to William Cunningham. the
wholesale tailor, was stolen from the
corner of Seventh and Cedar streets.
In the buggy was box contain
ing a dress that had been made
for customer. and was about to be
delivered, and also costly Silk-lined
lap robe. The dress was valued at SO.
The police were notified of the theft,
and Detective Koran set to work on the
case. a few days later the horse and
buggy were found on University ave-
nue., and returned to the owner,
but the dress and lap robe
had been appropriated by the
thieves. About 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Detective Koran found the
lap robe under the sidewalk on Pleas
ant avenue. where the Milwaukee short
line crosses that street. At II 30 last
night he secured the dress at house on
Edmund street, near Western avenue.
1t had passed through several hands,
and the party knew nothing of
its history until informed by Mr..
Horau. AS sequel to the finding
OF the stolen goods came the arrest of
John Betrasheck and James Cutner late
last night. They are twenty-eight and
twenty-five years old respectively, and
board in st. Paul. The former is
moulder by trade, and was arrested in
shop at the corner of Eagle and WASH
ington streets, where he is employed
nights. Cutner was taken from his
boarding place on Pleasant avenue.

Qence against them
