WHO SHALL Be JUNIORS /?
THE QUESTION vow AGITATINc THE
PIONEER ASSOCIATION -
SHALL THE BARS BE RAISED
Eligibility for Membership inothS
Ramsey County Junior Biot
neers Creates Quite a Breezy
Discussion at the Monthly
Meeting-Shall Hardy Pioneers
Be Refused Admission

The monthly meeting of the juiiior
Pioneers started off tame and routine.
but at the close was quiet breezy: ow!!
ing to suggestion of Chairman SchWei-
zer that he thought it would be a. good
idea at this time to begin discussion. on
any changes that might be desired ih
the constitution. The cOnstitutionncan
only be changed annually, IN October,
but it was the view of the vice presi-
dent that it would do no harm in dis
cuSsing the various changes that might
be desired at the present, so that all
members could familiariZe themselves
with the subject. A question from
Judge Hall as to what the most impor-
tant changes were that were desired
brought forth the Information that
one was the mode of electing the Off
GERS, and the other with regard TO
fines being attached to delinquents.
For moment this seemed to be all, but
before discussion had begun Oh these
some one raised the old question that
was so badly defeated two years ago as
to eligibility, and an exceedingly ami
mated discussion resulted as 10 whether
person was eligible who was born in
the state. but who comes within the
time limit, or whether 1t should be alb.
soluteiy confined 10 the narrow limits
of Ramsey county. the smallest in. the
entire state The question further
carries with it the point whether the
Ramsey County Junior Pioneers would
be generous enough. and throw the
mantle of old associations over all the
few hardy pioneers, who were but a
handful in the entire state at that time,
and of whom there are only few old
lettering people left. at the present
time. who can really claim eligibility.
Ii the law that 1T is proposed TO be
enacted now had been put i'll force at

membership would have been limited

Of liberality the originatorS made the

state prior to Jan. l. 1860. and less than
tweDty.one years old, and also those
who had been born anywhere in the

CHARITY WORK
Finds Less New Applicants for
Assistance.

rfnuS 1cSS new applicants -1Of
Assistance. a .
The monthly meeting of the Asso-
ciated Charities was held yesterday
afternoon at the Office of W. I. Peet.
Following is Secretary Jackson's report:
Last months report showed a decrease
in the number of new applications,
though the number receiving aid was
not materially diminished. Since then
there has been still greater decrease
in the number OF new applications, and,
for the first time since June, 1898, we
are able 10 report a material decrease i'll
the number OF applications from people
who had not previously received aid.
This improved condition appears to be
due 10 the increasing demand for labor,
and to the milder weather. We antici-
pate further decrease in the number of
applications.
During the past month we have re-
ported on more applications than i'll any
previous month. In February we made
260 Investigations, as against 2q3 in
January and AZ i'll February, 1898. OF
these 26U Investigations SO were made
by our volunteer visitors, who have done
faithful work. Our paid agents proved
efficient. They appear to have de-
sire to promote the best interests of the
people among whom they work. The
increase in our working force, though
it came late, has enabled us to increase
our efficiency aud to render important
assistance to relieving agencies. Not
only to determine what individuals
should receive assistance to tide them
over present difficulties. but also, what
is equally important 10 ascertain, where
their aid could be Withdrawn without
detriment to the beneficiarieS. We now
hope to overtake the arrears of work
before the end of March and to be able
10 reduce the working force.

Haunted {!

A haunted house in these practical
and umromantic days is something of
rarity, but an individual haunted with
the idea that his ailment is incurable is
a parsonage frequently met with. Dis
BELIEF in the abilityO of medicine to cure
is only mild form of monomania,
although in some cases repeated failures
to obtain relief from many different
sources would almost seem to justify
the doubt. Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers has demonstrated its ability to
overcome dyspepsia, constipation, liver
and kidney trouble, malarial ompiaints
and nervousness, and its recorded
achievements in the curative line ought
at least to warrant lLs tria, by any one
troubled with either of the above all
ments. even although his previous eff
forts to obtain remedial aid have been
fruitless. Used with persistence, the
Bitters will conquer the most obstinate
cases. .-' --'

the events of the fatal morning. He
aided his remarks with chart showing
the arrangement and location of the
house where the shooting occurred. He
dweIled on the fact that the witnesses

not possessed of large amount OF in
teilectual ability or education, but
thought that they could tell their story
in manner that would leave no doubt
in the minds Of the jury.

NOTES OF THE TRIAL.

The line that separates the serious
from the ridiculous is fine indeed, and,
Willie life and liberty hang in the bal
ance in the halls of justice, incidents
will occur that make 1t difficult to sup
press the risibilities. Several of these
occurred yesterday during the progress
of the Rollins case. One of the tales
men. Putnam by name. was evidently
not anxious to serve OH the case. His
examination was revelation. He said
that his sympathies were naturally with
the coiored men. and he would require
a good deal more evidence to convict
one than he would ask in the case of a
white man. Questioned by the county
attorney what he would do where one
colored man had killed another. he said:
''Well, l don't know what TO say, eX-
cept that am not on trial here" He

BELL KNOCKED OUT.
First Warder Will Be Clerk of
BOARD of Public Works

FifSC w aFdCr w ia DC SIcrA Oh
Board of Public Works.
The two new members of the board of
public works, MeSsrs. Warren ana Fair
child, assumed their duties yesterday
morning. The board reorganiZed by
re-electing r. l.. German president, but
made no changein the clerical force.
The chief clerk of the board. j. T.
Kerker, holds his position at the pleas
ure of the board. and it is said that he
Will hold it but short time. His sue
cessOr will be named by Matt Jensen, of
the First ward. who was candidate for
appointment as a member of the board.
Mayor Wright, for some reasons known
only to himself and his adviser, refused
to appoint Jensen, but, after the ap-
pointments had been made. sent for
Jensen and rendered him the
clerkship of the board. The
position in the state treasurer'S
Office now held by Jensen pays him
l,4OO. and as the clerk of the board Of
public works only receives 81 200. the
kind proffer of the mayor was refused.
In order to placate Jensen it was agreed
to allow him the privilege of naming
the clerk to succeed Kerker, and a
friend of Jensen's from the First ward
will be given the plum. This announce
ment will probably raise some trouble
among the friends of NJ. j. Bell. of the
Sixth ward, as Bell was q candidate for
the place; but, as one of the Sixth ward
council remarked yesterday, the Sixth
ward is evidently not entitled to any
consideration at the hands of the pres
ent administration.

IGNORANCE OF The LAW

AN ORDINANCE NOT SEEN

Judge Otis Misled by an Old
Ordinance-Had Pike known

johnson Would Have Served
His Sentence at the Work.
house.
1t is possible that with the help of
half dozen more assistants in the cor
pOration attorneys office, the legal
business of the city can be successfully
carried on. Several days ago John
johnson, colored man. was arrested
on charge of keeping bagnio. The
complaint drawn by Second Assistant
Corporation Attorney Pike was not dis
missed for defects, and. after a trial,
johnson was sentenced 10 pay fine Of
500 or stand committed to the work
house for ninety days.
G. Tyson Butcher. attorney for john
son, applied for and was granted writ
of habeas corpus. A hearing of the
writ came up before Judge Otis, at
which Attorney Butcher raised the
point that under the ordinance the pen
atty placed the otfenSe outside the jurS-
dictiOn of the municipal court. Pike,
who appeared OH behalf of the city in
the haGeds corpus proceedings, looked
wise and made short argument on the
moral principle involved. but practi-
cally admitted the point made by john
sons attorney.
The result was that Judge Otis
ordered the discharge Of tho prisoner.
holding that. under the terms of The
ordinance. the court had exceeded its
jurisdiction i'll imposing the sentence.
There is no doubt that Judge Otis IN
rendering the decision relied on the law
as eXpounded and presented by Pike,
but this Is where the judge made a
mistake. That portion of the ordinance
on which Judge Otis based his decision,
however, bad been repealed by the
council in February, 1891, and the
ordinance was amended so as to prevent
just such thwarting of the law as was
, carried out in the Johnson case. Al
though it is hardly possible that john
son can be arrested again on the same
charge, it would be well for Second
Assistant Corporation Attorney Pike to
examine Ordinance 1414, on page AZ OF
the council proceedings of 1891, so that
in case the point is raised again he will
be prepared TO act adyiSedly and intelli-
gently in legal way.

a STATE Tamn,

North Carolina has q State tree by
the vote of the school children. The
noble white oak has been chosen and
it is opportune to say that North
Carolina has greater variety of
oaks than any other State in the
Union. 1t is a noble and a useful
tree. Among the sentiments ex-
pressed by the school children in be-
half of their choice are these: That
the oaks dense foliage and wide
spreading branches afford shade and
shelter; 1T is therefore kind and
hospitable. The wood is strong; SO
character should be- 1t is capable
of the highest polish; so the best edu-
cation refines man or woman. It's
life and dura bility are unequalled by
any other tree; SO the Old North
State is lasting. 1t can resist the
tempest; SO North Carolinians are
able to stand against force. 1t
thrives IL any soil OF climate; SO our
people thrive at home and abroad
It is a most useful tree; so life should
be useful.
