aid in pushing the Democratic organi-
cation. He told the club that reading
material in abundance can be had at
the headquarters of the state Democratic

The Retail Clerks National Protective
Association No. 2, of st. Paul, attended
the performance of Katie Emmett in

last night. During the engagement of
Miss Emmett the association has been
given benefit which has materially in
creased its reserve fund, and. to show
their appreciation of Miss Emmett's
kindness, the members sent her floral
Offering, designed after the regalia
badge of the order. Accompanying the
flowers was an engrossed address, which
ran as follows:
Miss Katie Emmett: 1t is with a deep
feeling of gratitude that our organiza-
ton, the Retail Clerks National Protect
i've Association No. 2, of st. Paul, has
regarded the kindness displayed by you
toward it during your engagement in
this city. We take great pleasure,
therefore, in presenting to you this
floral tribute, perfect fac-simile of the
regalia badge of the association: and
IN order that your remembrance of this
evening may not pass away with the
fading of its leaves, we also send you a
real badge, the insignia Of an officer Of
the order. "a,
1t may be of interest to you to know
that this association, which now has,
over 400 branches throughout the United
States. with an aggregate membership
of over 10000, was first formed in the
city of St. Paul. It's primary object was
the early closing of retail stores, thereby
giving the workers an opportunity, not
only for needful rest, but for mental
aud physical culture, and it is With!
pride that the association can point to
many instances where the opportunity
has been grasped and made excellent
use of by those who were formerly un-
able to do so.
We desire to tender you our sincere
thanks for your generosity and kind.
ness, and to assure you that, wherever
you may be, you will always bear with
you the good will and best wishes of the
r. c. n. P. A. No. 2, st. Paul, Mimi.

REFLECTING ON AUTHORITIES
And Damaging the Standing of
the City.

The Pioneer Press, not satisfied with
the numerous "hold-upS" occurring in
the city. has taken to manufacturing
items of this character, evidently with
the Intention of showing the inefflciency
of the police department. and by so
doing to reflect OH the administration
and damage the general reputation of
the city. A sample of this was the al
legged assault and highway robbery of
Tony Haggenmiller. a hackinan. pub
lished yesterday. Hsggenmiller drove
a man to a hotel near Newport Wed
nesday night, and while the occupant of
the hack was alighting from the vehicle
a fellow standing near struck Hagen
miller in the face. The passenger,
fearful of "hold-up," shot a revolver
in the air and the fellow ran. This was
all there was to the alleged assault and
robbery, and Haggenmiller was neither
injured nor robbed of 81 or any amount
The story was evidently manufactured
by the P. Z. with the intent of bringing
the city into disrepute as being infested
by thugs.
