Monday evening in the university chap
Ell. 1t will be held to select the speak
ers for the state intercollegiate contest
which occurs in Minneapolis the middle
OF April. More than usual interest is
felt, as the interstate contest, in which
the orators representing the thirteen
states of the association appear, is to be
held i'll Minneapolis the 1st OF May I'M
der the auspices of the Minnesota Ora

which causes additional interest in this

altered this year to admit them. Those
who will inaugurate this change are
Miss Flora Allen, '92; Miss Jean r.
Evans, '93; Miss Susie Carr, '95. The
subjects which these aspirants for the
mantle of DemOStheneS and Cicero have
chosen range from the political ha-
range through the literary criticism and
religious controversy with a dip into
philanthropy to the poets vision The
programme is:
"Disestablishment of the English

PROHIBITION PLANS.
Leaders Feel They Are Between
the Devil and the Deep Sea.


The prohibitionists of st. Paul pro-
pose to take a hand in The coming mu-
nicipal fight, although they are not GER
tain as to the course they will pursue.
At a meeting held in n. r. FroSt's
Office the other evening, number of
the leaders were present. and the situa-
ton was canVaSsed. AS usual, there
was division of opinion as to what
was the proper course to pursue. There
were those who demanded a straight
party ticket; others, a majority, by, the
way, advocated combination against
the present combination. In view of
the usual nominations made by the Op-
ponentS OF the Democracy, this would
seem to be plain case of flying from
present ills to those they know mott of.
The Republican ticket in the last team
palgn, had 1t been successful, would
hardly have pleased the prohibitionists
OF st. Paul. However, if the opponents
of the Democracy refuse to come to the
prohibition mountain, the latter will
nominate full ticket, as indicated i'm
the following resolution, which was
adopted: oef. :
Resolved. That the political situation which
confrontS the voters of st. Paul at the COM
ing municipal election demands non7par-
tsan union OF all patriotic citizens to nomi-
nate and elect mayor pledged by his words
and vouched for by his character to ali i'm
partial enforcement of the criminal laws
whether those laws are deemed by him wise
or not. That we will heartily unite in any
such movement and vote for such non
partisan candidate, and Will use all honor
able means to secure his Endorsement by the
Prohibition party of. st. Paul. AS to the re-
malnder of the city ticket, we believe it to
be both wise and expedient to select it in the
same manner ana on the same platform.
That if such a non-partisan ticket, meaning
thereby nomination not made by any eX-
listing political party in whole or in part is
not seasonably nominated. that the Prohib-
ton party of the city of st. Paul ought to
nominate and elect full city ticket
Of course Mayor Smith and the city
government generally were roasted to
turn by the speakers at this meeting,
and c. n. Woodward promised that the
1,500 or 1,700 Prohibition votes would all
be cast for the citizens candidate who
should or might be named. A number
of the leaders who we're in the move to
prevent the nomination of a county
ticket in 1890 were present, and evil
IDENTITY propose that there shall be no
ticket placed in the field in the coming
election.

CAPT. JoE's HERoIsM.
Simple Tale OF a Simple Mans
Brave Action

Brave Action.

well-known writer, related the follow

Capt. Thomas Scott of New London,
says the Boston Globe.
The incident of the sketch was the
collision between crowded ferryboat
on the Hoboken ferry and large steam
en- at time when the river was full OF
packed ice. Capt. Joe happened to be
passing on his tug of the wreckage
company. He immediately steered her
close enough to leap to the deck of the
ferryboat. With all the strength of a
mighty frame he drove all the passen-
gers to the side of the boat farthest
from the leak, ami threatened to throw
overheard any man VINO crossed.
Then he went to work with all his
skill to stop the great hole in the boats
side. Finally, by the crOwding in of
mattresses, blankets, and anything that
could be found, the lower part of the
hole was plugged, but above was a
wide gap through which the water still
poured.
There was absolutely nothing to stop it
with, and, without any further words,
Capt. Joe threw his own body into the
gap. There he stayed until the boat.
with every soul safe, was brought into
the dock an hour later.
When he was taken out he was I'M
conscious and the flesh was torn from
his arm from shoulder to wrist by the
grinding ice.
And yet the man was so modest that
when he was asked about the matter
afterward. he said that it was SO long
ago that he had forgotten about it, but
it was all in his log book. And his wife
got the log book and there the captain
had written: Jan. 29-Hoboken ferry

packed. Capt. Joe stopped Leak

THE DAYS OF ALMA MATER
Pleasantly Recalled by the Alumni

There is goodly number of gradu-
ates of Williams college, New York,

were sung and "reminiscences were de-
tailed The toast civilians of the
Past" was responded to by f. A. Rising.
The affable clerk of the state senate, f.
n. Van Duzee, responded to the toast
ME and Ig." ''Athletics" was assigned
to G. L. Richardson as a topic. 1.-THE
ProdigaF' is the text given to Rev. ]. III.
Chandler. The Psychological Value
of a College Education" was the
theme upon which Fl. E. Bigelow
spoke. Music as an Educator was
discussed by G. A. Bigelow; civilians
in the Vest gave F. W. Fiske handle
for his remarks. 1.-THE Kids" was re-
sponded to by F. Il. Blgelow and E. r.
Dyer. Informal remarks were INDUCED

Cain an Exception.

DR.. Goulburn's biography of the late
dean of Chichester is published today by
Mr.. Murray in two volumes, says the
London News. Dean Burgon was an
accomplished retailer of anecdotes, and
several are given in these Volumes.
; One of them, described as royal bon
, mot, appears in an early letter of the
deans, dated 1910. GA gentleman he
says, ION whom 1 called the other day

view he had had with the Duke of Sus-
isex, Allen, the Quaker. waited upon his
royal highness to present petition
against capital punishment. The duke

observed that Scripture has declared

Gshall his blood be She'd Please your

THE LUMBER TRUST.
Correct List of Persons Indicted
by the Federal Jury.

WI w ALfob III SfSOHS 1nuECLcu
by the Federal Jury.
The correct list of lumbermen in
dicted by the United States grand jurv.
charging them with combining as the
Mississippi Valley Lumbermen's asso-
CATION for the purpose OF forcing up the
price OF lumber, has not yet been pub
lished. The men indicted are among
the prominent and influential lumber
men of the Northwest. The names
of those SO indicted are:
Frederick Weyerhauser, of Rock Island;
Benjamin F. Nelson. Sumner T. Mcknight,
Frederick Clarke and William H. Il. Day. of
Minneapolis; John Paul, of La Crosse; Will
lam Irvine, of Chippewa Falls; Eugene
Shaw, of Eau Claire; Aiexa nder tewart, of
Wausau. Wis: Philip Reilly, of st. Paul; r.
Young Jr, of Clinton, To-. G. II. Atwood. of
Saltwater; G. 5. Shaw, of CIoouet, and W
Ii. Laird, of Winona.
This list can be depended upon as
correct, Notwithstanding the statement
made by United States District Attorney
Hay that lit is only guesswork." The
names include officers and directors of
the association, although Acting Secre-
tary j. Newton Mind is not one of the
indicted men. Mr.. Nelson is president.
Mr.. Irvine, treasurer; MIR. Nc Cormick,
financial secretary; MessrS. Weyer-
hauser. Stewart, Shaw, Young, Atwood
and Mcknight are directors.
The indictment is under act of con-
gress OF 1890, which prohibits trusts or
combinations. The action of the asso-
citation i'll September last in adopting
resolution to advance lumber 81 per
LOCO feet was made the basis of the in
dictment. The bench warrants spoken
OF have not been placed in the hands of
United States Marshal Donahower for
service, but the men indicted have been
notified that they can 20 before the
nearest United States commissioner and
give bond in the penalty of $500 each
Tor their appearance to stand trial
in March. The defense claim that
their organization has done nothing
that will subject it's members to the
pains and penalties of the law against
trusts. They have only agreed to adj
vance the pIice of lumber, but no COM
bination has been effected which is
illegal or will be building on lumbermen
further than that they have agreed to
stand by the market price and not cut
prices.

The climate of Australia Is said to be
