A SMOOTH GAME
Being Played by the Young Man
Who Writes to His Mother.

Being Played by the Young Man
Who Writes to His Mother.
One of the latest "con" games. or one
of the newest in this locality, is being
worked by very smooth young man
just now with great success. The
swindler generally selects for his oper
ations small confectionery or notion
store. This shows the fellow is a good
Judge of human nature, for nearly all
such establishments are attended by
women or middle-aged men. Entering
the store rejected. he purchases sheet
of paper and envelope, and becoming
confidential. explains that he has
to send S. to his mother, who
is sick. While writing the letter
ne asks in a casual way if it would be
safe to send the money in letter with
out registering 1t. The answer usually
being in the affirmative, he finishes the
epiStle. and. after purchasing a stamp,
starts toward the door. Returning again
to the counter, he asks if he could be
accommodated with S5 bill for the
same amount in silver. While the bill
is being produced he counts III careful
manner So in quarters. nickelS and dimes
on the counter. The bill handed to him
is placed in the envelope iii plain view
of the victim, and at once sealed up.
The silver, being counted, is found to
be short 15 cents. The shortage sur
prises him greatly, and he recounts it
two or three times. He then makes
search of his pockets to find the missing
Is cents. but without success. During
this part of the play he has carefully kept
the letter containing the bill in full
view. Now comes the fine part OF the
work. With smile, he hands what is
supposed to be the letter containing the
s. bill to the storekeeper and says he
will step across the street to his room
and get the other Is cents, explaining
that he will leave the letter until he
comes back. Gathering up the silver,
he steps out. but doesn't come back. In
an hour or so after his departure it
dawns on the obliging proprietor that
he has been done, and on examining
the letter it is found to contain only
blank piece of paper. While the small
change was being counted, the smooth
young man had dettly changed envel-
opes BY attending strictly to business
and writing one or two letters day to
his mother the fellow has made consid-
cradle money in the last few days and

CRANKS BEHIND IT.
Reformers Pushing the Mayor
to Put Screws on the
Saloons,
Closing Them at Midnight and
During Sunday Worship
Hours.
Confidence Game Worked by
the Young HAN With a
Letter.
How Merry Bartenders En-
riehed Themselves and
Pals.

1t was reported or rather rumored yes
terday that an order has been issued by
Mayor Wright inStrucIing the chief of
police to close all saloons at midnight
and to inform SaloonkeeperS that their
places of business must be kept shut on
Sunday until after the close of the morn
ing church service. The mayors Secre-
tary stated, however, that there was
nothing to the report, at least he had
not been informed of it. Capt. Cook,
who has charge of the department dur
ing the absence of the chief, said no
such order had been niSSued and the story
must have been started by some one
who was not satisfied with the way the
new administration was running things.
Secretary Boerner said he had heard a
deal of talk on the street about an order
being issued to the saloOnkeeperS, but
it was false.
1t was learned later that the rumor
originated from a meeting held Friday
afternoon. The gathering was attended
Oy a number of ''our prominent citi-
Zens." who. relying on the promises
made by the Republican candidates and
organs Just before election, concluded 1T
was time for the administration to cut d
starter, as it were. Several of the gen.
tlemen were in favor of taking the law
in their own hands, as it looked just at
the present time as if the mayor had
weakened Oh his ante-electiOn promises.
One of the more rabid refOrmers sug-
gested in case the mayor did not live up
to his promises an active crusade should
be commenced against the open vlo-
latOrS of the law. The same gentleman
explained that in case the police depart
ment failed to enforce the laws the citi-
Zens committee of ftty-fve be again
called together. According to his views
the same detective corps that did such
great work during the campaign could
be secured on very reasonable terms
and such mass of evidence gathered
that the mayor would be forced to keep
his pledges. The majority, however,
were anxious to give his honor time, and
some of them went so far as to intimate
that the mayor had promised to give the
question his attention at an early day.
Well posted politicians who gave a
great deal of wind aud very little cash
toward the mayors campaign, claim
that things will not be tighte1ed up
until after the fall election. TO pay
any attention to the "cranks," as they
term the Citizens party, would be sui
cidal policy and spoil all chances for the
county ticket in Move mber.

ROGERS IN THE RACE.
His Friends Are Pushing Him fol-
Congressional Honors.

Congressional Honors.
The Republican congressional NOM
lnation in this district, while not at all
likely to reward its possessor with a
seat in the lower house of the national
legislature, is nevertheless looked upon
with longing eyes by several of the
local leaders. When Col. A. Il. Kiefer
was retired from the mayoralty race last
spring his friends at once announced
that they would ask the congressional
nomination for him, but the gallant
colonel is not at all anxious for the
honor, not half so anxious, III fact, as
Col. j. Ham Davidson, and Will hardly
care to engage in contest for it.
The most likely candidate named SO
far is Hon. +. &. Rogers, the well
known attorney. Mr.. Rogers repre-
sented part of st. Paul in the lower
house of the legislature of 1887, and
made a record as one of the ablest and
strongest men in the body. lie is fine
talker, man OF commanding presence,
great ability, and withal popular quad
ltieS. His friends are enthusiastic III
their support, and will leave no stone
unturned to secure for him the doubt
full honor of making the race for his
party in this district.
The nomination of man like Mr..
Rogers, while it would probably not re-
suit in his election, would place the
contest on high ground and Insure an
able member for this great district how
ever the contest might be decided at the
polls,

WORKED THE REGISTERS.
How Bartenders Made Money
During the Convention.


If the owners and proprietors of the
large saloons in Minneapolis made
money during convention week, so did
the majority of the help employed to
care for the rush of drinkers. In nearly
all of the two hundred and fifty saloons
extra help was employed to supply the
throng of little and big politicians who
congregated in the bar rooms
with liquid refreshments. AS
a matter of protection to them
selves, and also to their patrons,
cash registers were distributed at fire.
Quent intervals behind the bars. more
especially in the saloons where lengthy
temporary bars were constructed and
outside help employed. The piano-like
affairs did but little good. as the ma
jority Of the men employed for the week
knew their job would last but few
days and acted accordingly.
In one of the largest barrooms the
cash register at the wine bar, after a
ten hours business, was replaced by
another, and the punches in the paper
counted up to ascertain how it tailed
with the cash in the drawer. The sur
prise Of the manager of the room can
be imagined when the actual cash was
S63S less than the register showed had
been taken in. An investigation was at
once commenced. but the thing was
dropped as soon as it was learned
that one of the employees had put
aside his white jacket and left for
other fields. Friday night the sleek
wine dispenser who had cut such
swath In the drawer was telling select
circle of his acquaintanees how the
scheme was worked. He, of course, had
"pal." who, with the frequency of an
enthusiastic politician, made trips to
the bar. Each time he ordered pint
bottle of white LABEL" and threw a
ceived change for $40 bill in return.
If this should happen to meet the eye
of the manager of the wine bar at which
the trick was turned. he will know for
certainty how the shortage came
about.

TROOPS IN READINESS

To Cover the Striking Miners at
Tower.
Gov. Merriam yesterday received a
telegram from Sheriff SharVey, of st.
Louis county, stating that the labor
troubles in the mines near Tower are
growing serious, and that he feared an
outbreak. He asked that the governor
instruct the nearest military company
to hold itself in readiness in case the
trouble grew to proportions beyond the
power of the local police to control:
Accordingly Gov. Merriam has wired
Capt Tier, commanding Company A,
Third regiment to hold his troops under
marching orders in case of more serious
trouble.
Adjt. Gen. Mullen was seen by a re-
porter last night and asked if he appre-
hended serious trouble. He replied
that he did not. He thought the local
authorities would be able to control the
strikers, but he added significantly:
"If they can't, and company of troops
is ordered there, they will not make the
march for nothing"
