A CANINE ROBBER.
The Four-Footed Assistant Of q
Mexican Bandit
Travellers Seized by the Huge Brute and
Held While His Master Relieved
Them of Their
EaIu2 bies.

For over year the people living
within radius of twenty miles Of this
place, says a City Of Mexico correspond
ent Of the St Louis Globe Democrat,
have been in state of semipanic over
the strange attacks which have been
made upon travellers who are compelled
to be out after nightfan. There ap-
peared TO be some demon who took de-
light in mangling belated people aGd
robbing them. No deaths occurred. but
in each instance the party attacked was
suddenly grasped By the throat by some
apparently powerful animal, which WIS
so strong jawed that il shut off the air
at the first grasp and caused the victim
70 faint. When consciousness returned,
in every instance the victim found him
self lying with a bleeding throat and
his pockets rified Of all their contents.
One man who had occasion 10 be out

his entries, but claiming also that, as It
was private corporation, it had the
right to debar any persons from partici-
pating in the privileges OF the club, if
it saw. fit, without giving any rea-
son therefor. Judge Gildersleeve
overruled this demurrer, and his
decision not only establishes the
right of Corrigan to sue for the
second money Huron won, but it also
indicates very clearly that the position
taken by the club, that it is a private
corporation, is false one. Under the
provisions of the Ives pool law, it is a
semi-public institution, and is as amen
able to the general laws of the state as
any other institution of the same char
acter. Nor is this all The board of
control has no charter or incorpora-
ton, and is. consequently, no matter
how bene6cent its purpose, an Illegal
body. 1t is, in fact, a racing trust. Its
edicts can be legally resisted, and il
they work injury or cause hardship TO
anyone damages can be obtained from
its individual members therefor. The
Coney Island club has appealed from
Judge Gildersleeves decision and the
case may be carried up to the higher
courts. If it is, the result is likely to
be unpleasant for the club. No judges
like to be reversed, and am told that
Judge Gildersleeve, before making his
decision, not only consulted the books
very closely, but also conferred, with
some of the ablcst jurists in the land
He took ample time aud opportunity to
get at the equities of the case and it
will be surprising indeed if his decision
is not sustained. There is another
aspect of the case. Not one OF these
profitable racing associations could
exist as they do were it not for the fact
that they have been given a special
privilege to violate the gambling laws
of the state, through peculiar statute
called the lives pool law" This law
contains no clause repeating previous
statutes on the subject of gambling.
and good lawyers declare that this is q
fatal omission. They even go further
and declare that the law is unconstitu-
tionaL 1t will be q Hateful day for the
racing interests of New York if this
law is ever put to the test of the court
of appeals. Perhaps it would be as
well for all concerned to drop further
legal proceedings and turn the settle
ment of the matter over to some suave,
clever turf diplomat like Smiling
Johnny" Kelly.

A VETERAN JOURNALIST.

At pleasant dinner party given by
the Cosmopolitan club to fellow news
paper worker the other evening met
for the first time rugged old John Swim
ton, man who has done as much to
put his individual mark upon the news
papers of this city as any man since
Horace Greeley's time. He was for
years an editorial force on the Sun, and
to him was due much Of the. ferocious
vigor which distinguished the Suns edi-
torial page. Mr.. Swinton is a man Of
views, hater Of shams and hypocrisy,
a despiser of mere wealth, a reformer, a
friend of labor and a man of progress
sive ideas Some eight or nine years
ago he quit the Sun and started in this
city weekly newspaper, in which he
hoped to be able to give his own views,
fresh from the furnace of his brain,
without intermediary restriction. He
pleaded the cause of the workingman,
and no ADLER, wiser counselor ever APP
pealed in labor's behalf; but, SO far as
he was concerned, the appealing was in
vain. The sons of toll left him
alone to conduct his newspaper as
best he could, and finally, after exhaust
ing his resources, he gave up the task
of trying to improve the condition of
the American workingman- Since that
time he has had better experiences. An
affection of the eyes kept him lowering
for many months along the borderline
of blindness, and his other ills came
near carrying him to the "land O. the
leal." But the old fellow is in hand
now as sturdy as a grenadier and as
bright as schoolboy. He must be we'll
up in the sixties, and yet no man bore
himself more blithely at this dinner
than did he His speech was the best
of the evening, in point of good nature,
scholarship and appositeness. He en-
joyed the occasion and the company
was delighted with the presence of the
veteran. To this dinner came also Cit
izen George Francis Train, who eats lit
tie or nothing, and who has probably not
appeared at a public dinner table in fif-
teen or twenty years. He said that he had
evoluted beyond all that sort of thing,
but psychic force" brought him to this
feast, and he certainly was pic
turesque object He wore his customary
suit of snowy duck, which matched well
his gray hair and set off artistically his
bropzed Oriental face. He wore about
his waist red sash, which dangled
down on the left side, and, when called
on for a speech, cleared the floor of
chairs for a space of ten feet and went
to work. He took occasion to eviscer-
ate DR.. Parkhurst. Mr.. Comstock, ard
pretty much all the other modern re-
formers. / was pleased to see that the
Citizen had lost none of his oratorical
power, and, in the matter of acrobatics.
he was fully as springy as when l first
met him, in Melodeon hall, in Cincin-
natl twenty years ago. Citizen Train
is still to be found in Madison square on
pleasant days, communing with nature
and feeding children with peanuts.
Dear old John Swinton does congenial .

Electric Lights,

Parties will be here today and COM
mence the work of putting in the cleo
trio light plant. The council has de-
cided to have twelve arc lights placed
in different parts of the eity-nine
1900 candle power and three 1000
candle power. These lights will be
located as follows, unless the council
decides to change them: One at The
Morris, one on Goods corner, one on
Tim. Murphy's corner, These will
light Atlantic avenue brilliantly. Then
there will be one at the engine house,
one on the corner of Oregon avenue
and Fourth street, near Buckentin's
residence; one near the new Catholic
church, one on Montana avenue, near
the residence of III. T. Bevans, and
one at the court house, the latter to be
rs feet high. On the west side there
will be one on Dye & Co.'S corner, one
near L. E. Pearce's residence, one on
Charley Goods corner, and one near
the school house.
We understand that 400 incandes-
cent lights have been subscribed fol-
by our business men and private par
ties.

The Experience Social.

The ladies of the aid society of the
| Congregational church decided some
weeks ago to earn each one dollar
in some unusual way, and then to
| give sociable aud relate their ex-
periences. The event came off last
Friday evening at the handsome resi-
t dence of S. Stewart, where the spa
cious rooms were we'll filled until a
late hour. The floral decorations,
chiefly sweet peas, nasturtiums, pan
sizes, golden-rod and daises. Choice
music ON piano and organ was rend-
cred by Mesdames Stewart, Jones,
and Miss Cora Hulburd, and vocal
solos by Mrs. Jones and Prof. Childs.
Two "Krokinole" boards were kept
busy-a game just introduced in
Morris, in which old and young seem
to find equal pleasure. The usual
dainty refreshments were served on
little tables in one of the back par
lors.
The experiences handed in had been
carefully edited by Mrs. E. B. Wood
ward, but as sudden illness kept
her away, they were very happily read
by Miss Lucy Smith. We give few
specimen "cxporiences" in earning the
dollar, using the designation by let
ters simply for convenience: Mrs. A.
sewed Tor some of the heather on this
side of the sea, and Mrs. B. for Il des-
titute family on the east side Whose
address is the same as Mrs. BIS, Mrs
G. made pantaloons and cut the hair
for two little urchins of her sacquaint-
ance-" tailorism and barbarism" she
called it. Mrs. D., a visitor, is report
ed to think she richly earned her dol
lar by eating prairie chicken cooked
by the minister. Mrs. E. made one
of her famous Creole dolls. Mrs. F.,
like Maud Muller, ''raked the meadow
sweet with hay" and Mrs. G.. moved
short degree) hay in the barn. Not
to be outdone by these exploits, Miss
H. for a brief period fed threshing
machine, and Mrs. l. cut bands. Mrs.
j. said she had no experience prob
ably, says the editor, because her Sis
ter had SO much), and Mrs. X. MIXED
a dollars worth of milk from their
famous Jersey.

While in conversation with Charles
Wilson, the Peoples party candidate
for county treasurer, few days since,
he informed us that he came to Min
nesota in 1857, the year before it was
admitted into the Union as state.
He removed to Stevens county in 1875
and has resided here ever since, MAX
ing residence in the county of seven
teen years, giving him the right to be
designated as an old settler. Mr..
Wilson says thet he has paid an aver
age tax of $500 year ever since he
has been in the county.

At a meeting of the women of the
Stevens County Auxiliary to the
| worlds fair, held at The Morris, Sept.
18th, much business was transacted:
| The first subject taken up was the
| advisableness of undertaking that
portion of the county fair which will
be placed in agricultural hall. The
agricultural association will put in a
floor and other improvements, making
the building desirable for exhibits.
After vote had been taken the mat
ter was settled, the auxiliary consent
ing to assist the agricultural associa
ton.
It was also planned to have the hall
divided into booths SO that each
town or township could have a
separate space for its exhibit. A
special prize is to be given the town
or township making the best display
and management of such display,
thereby creating competition. Morris
will be excluded from competing, as it
so much larger than any other town
in the county, and the exhibitors so
near the fair grounds.
It was decided by vote that any
member of the auxiliary receiving a
premium on an individual exhibit
would give the money to the auxiliary
treasury, as we are in need of funds.
It is earnestly urged that the women
of the auxiliary make as many indi-
vidual exhibits as possible, with the
hope of securing prizes.
The largest assortment of breads
and cakes, canned goods, jellies, jams,
ETC., vegetables, fruits, butter, cheese,
honey and grains of all kinds. Also
fancy work is expected.
The fair will take place on Friday
and Saturday, October 9TH and 9Th.
Bring what you have, with the antici-
patton of receiving first premium.
Any information will be given about
the above matters upon applying to
me. MRS. HI. S. JUDsoN.

j. 9. DANIEL SON.
Democratic Campaign Opened


The Democratic campaign was open,
ed up here last Saturday night by a
speech by Hon. W. NJ. Campbell, ex-
chairman of the Democratic state cen
trail committee, in opposition to pro-
lection and in favor of free trade
Considering the limited notice given
there was fair sized audience pres
ent.
Mr.. Campbell is not a fowery speak
er and is not calculated to enthuse an
audience to any great extent; but he
has one advantage that many of our
political speakers do not possess; he
convinces his hearers that he is honest
in what he says.
He spoke for two hours; denounced
the Republican system of protection,
quoting from remarks of Blaine, John
Sherman and Henry Wilson, to show
that those men had expressed them
selves as in favor of reduction of the
tariff; therefore, we were left to infer
that the free trade doctrine of the
Democratic party was right. The pro-
visions of the Mckinley bill were de-
nounced in unmeasured terms, but
Mr.. Campbell forgot to state that an
overwhelmingly Democratic congress,
elected on the assurance that it would
be one of it's first acts to repeal that
bill, yet it had not dared to take any
steps towards it's repeal; and after
having been in power over year had
found only three articles, out of the
twenty-four hundred in the Mckinley
bill, to place on the free list, one of
which was WOOL If the Mckinley
bill is such an Ubiquitous measure as
the Democratic leaders claim, why in
the name of General Jackson hasn't
the present Democratic congress made
move to repeal it?
That is what the people are asking.
If it required a Democratic congress
one year to select three articles to put
On the free list, it would, at that rate,
require eight hundred years for that
body to go through the twenty-four
hundred articles enumerated in the
Mckinley bill!
Now, in view of these facts, we re-
spectfully submit that a man must
possess an enormous amount of gall
to urge the people to place the Demo
cratic party in power on the ground
that that party would repeal the Nc
Kinley bill.
The speaker occupied half an hour
or more in denouncing the millers of
Minneapolis, the elevator men and
railroads for swindling the farmers in
the matter of grading wheat, and no
doubt told much truth. His remedy
for the evil is to elect Lawler governor.
Here is where we and Comrade Camp
bell differ. "The Little Corporal is
the man that will put stop to this
swindliug of the farmers. Being a
farmer himself, he has a sympathy
for that class, and that is why the
great bulk of the farmers of Mime
sofa will vote for him on the 9Th of
next November,
The speaker was introduced by l..
A. Hamblen, chairman of the Demo-
cratic county committee. Music by
the Morris Silver Cornet Band.
Our Democratic friends will please
accept thanks for kindly giving us a
seat on the platform, SO that we could
take notes if we desired to.
The next political speaker in Morris
will be Hon. Dan. Lawler, Democratic
candidate for governor, who will speak
here October Sd. Mr.. Lawler is the
gentleman who will be defeated by
Knute Nelson by $4,000 votes.

A Legislative Endorsement.

A law was passed last winter in
Minnesota affecting the sale of alum
baking powders. The interest excit-
ed by the bill when proposed led to a
long and thorough investigation by a
legislative committee of the qualities
of all the baking powders sold in that
state, with the result that the Royal
was shown by very positive evidence
from the state chemist, DR.. Drew, and
others, to be the purest, strongest,
and in all respects the best ba king
