Tiers Patent Medicine Bill, However, Is
Not In the List.
The house spent the morning session
on the calendar and many measures
were disposed of. DR.. Tiers patent
medicine bill caused considerable dis
cussion, it having been recommended
in committee Of the whole as courtesy
to the author. Messrs. Schofield and
Kelly, both druggists, opposed the

Sensational Session.
What was expected to be merely a
routine, embarrassing night session OF
the house turned out to be one OF the
most sensational meetings Of the entire
session, and resulted in the airing of an
unpleasant amount Of soiled linen. The
trouble was caused over s. F. 4, an act
proposing an amendment to the consti'
tuition authorizing the taxation of sleep
ing, drawing room and parlor cars. A
certain member charged that the bill
was the same one introduced by the
Pullman company at former session
and that there was money in it for
those who could give it influential sup
port. He failed to point out the wood
chuck, however, and the bill was recon-
mended for passage with the promise
from several members that the fight
will be renewed when the measure is
reached on the calendar. 4

that Win Mcguire would conduct
the meeting at the Y. M. C. A., on
Sunday afternoon. Win Mcguire
was formerly a resident Of Morrison
county and had somewhat of a
reputation as pugulist. His last
fight was with Sheehey in 1893, in
this city at which time his ankle was
dislocated. He said ut that time
he had entered the ring for the last
time and he is keeping his word.
Win Mcguire was always too much

RESISTED zRREoT
But wac Landed In the Cooler
witn.a Disfi0ured -
.~ @ Head.

Aboutll O'Clock Friday evening
Frank Anderson, who had just
enough liquor ON board to make
him funny, happened along In front
of the Buchanan and commenced TAX
ing up the hitching posts which he
carried across the street. Officer
sTourtillotte went over to arrest
him. and, Anderson immedi-
ately clinched with him. The officer
threw him down and then let him
up, whereupon Anderson struck him,
and the poljceman's eye bears wit
ness to the fact. Tourtillotte then
used his billy, and as a result Ander-
sons head was pretty badly used
up, and he was landed in the cooler,
where his wounds were dressed.
The case as above stated was
given us by a. man who saw it.
At 10 O'Clock when Anderson was
to be brought up for trial he was
found to be still drunk, having in
some unaccountahle manner secured
a. bottle of whisky.
When a man goes out looking for
trouble in this town he usually gets
it.
Anderson was taken before Justice
Gaudet, charged with resisting ON
officer, and upon entering plea OF
guilty was fined $40 and costs. In de-
fault of which he was committed to
the county Jail for twenty days.

Fish.
The Largest Catch % the
season Made Saturday
Night. .zs...'.5

A musk olOnge, over four feet long,
a spear and fishing tackle decorate
the window Of the Hotel Buchanan
sample room, and thereby hangs a
tale. >s. ~
On Saturday night Aid. F. F.
Turner and Russell Baker went out
spearing on the Mississippi near the
island, the boat being managed by
j. p. Frampton and c.. Van Buskirk.
After spcaring for sometime, Mr..
F'rampton steered the boat within
about one hundred feet from the
island. and here the fishermen spied
lying quietly On the bottom OF the
river what appeared to be a muska-
longe of leviath proportions. The
fish wiggIed his tail and both men
speared at him. The waters were
troubled Immediately and Baker
held onto the spear and Turner onto
Baker until both went partially into
the water. They let go and the fish
continued his course for shore with
the spear still sticking in him. He
did not stop when he reached high
water mark but went on into the
brush. Turner and Baker then
murmered; "DOes me eyes deceive
me. or has the accursed river water
crazed me BRAIN" They then realized
they had been fooled, were fish and
let down hard land that the other fish
was decoy with wire attached.
Frampton and Van Buskirk were on.
but afraid to laugh lest they should
be thrown from the boat, SO pulled
for the shore, and wnen they reached
it their laughter broke the atmos-
phere up in chunks.
The fellows who had the string on
the fish brought it up town and
Turner and Baker spent Sunday In
thinking up some scheme for getting
square.
The decoy Is dandy and manu-
featured right ut home. 1t Is made
of rubber betting, seWed up and
stuffed with saw dust, a lead pipe
WAS then fastened to it. 1t was then
pointed, and so perfect that 1t would
fool the oldest fish in the river, to
say nothing of Turner and Baker. .
Last fall j. 2. Frampton shot Il
decoy skunk and about the sane
time Chief Lafonds's horse was
pai nted green, while over on the West
side. 1t is surmised that these two
gentlemen had a hand in the matter.

Pine Land Bill After a
Hard Fight.
APPROPRIATIONS APPROVED.
House Evening Session One
of the Liveliest Of the
Season.

ST. PAUL, April 20.-At the after
noon sitting Friday Senator Schaller
moved to put the Staples bill upon its
final passage. Senator Potter and 9TH
ers objected to this, claiming that the
bill should take its place on the calen-
tdar. Friends of the bill insisted that it
was special order and that it was
proper to put it on final passage. At
the request of Senator Potter tor rul-
ing, President Day announced that the
bill was to be proceeded with to a
tinality.
A vote being taken, the bill passed by
vote Of 20 to Is. Senator Potter
changed his vote to yea for the purpose
OF moving a reconsideration, but was
saved the effort, as Senator Schaller
Immediately moved a reconsideration,
and stated he hoped the motion would
be voted down. A vote being taken
upon the motion to reconsider, it was
lost by vote of 10 to ~, and the pas
sage Of the bill was clinched.
Meat Inspection Bill.
When Senator Stevens Of the judi
ciary committee reported in favor OF
indefinite postponement of h. F. S53,
the famous meat inspection bill mo-
ton was made to put it on the calendar.
This the senate refused to do, but
placed it on general orders.

passed under suspension OF rules ut
the request of Senator McHale.
Governor Clough sent in communi-
cation vetoing S. F. 29l. This bill was
intended to allow Baptist associations
to dispose of property. It is the third
veto.
The Appropriation Bill.
The omnibus appropriation bill was
finally disposed Of at the merning ses-
sion after few amendments, the chief
one being the reconsidering Of the vote
by which Duluth was given $40, 600 for
a normal school. Senator Spencer pro-
tested against the move and made a
strong plea for the northern part of the
state. The motion prevailed; however,
by a vote of 20 to 10.
An attempt was made to strike out
the extra appropriation of 5000 for the
railroad and warehouse commission but
the motion failed, 20 to "a. The bill
then passed without negative vote.

with abstruse arguments about the
relations Of gold and silver met
ais the people rarely see-while
they are restricting and debasing
the historical and hereditary
coinage Of the masses copper.
Oh, We blind! How long! oh, how
long will you be 50 deceived? The
one great issue before the Ameri-
can people today-the one ques-
ton Of economy, worthy the at
tention Of thoughtful men who
are fast falling into the slavery
devised by the cunning Of the
gold bugs and the silver kings
is the question of the free, unlimi-
ted and independent coinage OF
copper. A question before which
other political issues pale into in
significance. OF course it will be
urged by the gold bugs and the
silver kings that copper is a cheap
metal, not worth nearly its coin
age value, and we retort, us not
that true of silver" Is silver worth
nearly its coin value, although all
of the production of. silver
which can be- spared from
the arts it absorbed for money by
the worlds minis? Would gold
be worth its coin value if there
was no demand for it for money
purposes? Treat copper fairly,
open the minis to it and if there
are not minis enough, build more
mints. Let the historic money Of
the grandfathers flow out into the
channels of trade, and again. will
prosperity smile on US and copper
will double in market value.
. But we first must have an in
ternational agreement" Nonsense.
Isn't the United States big enough
to take care of itself? Isn't it
about time we cut loose from the
apron strings of Great Britain?
Doesn't this argument satisfy the
most skeptical that we can
safely engage in free coinage Of
copper?
Thirty years ago copper was
worth Sl.50 a pound and wheat
was g per bushel. Today, owing
to the great crime against copper
money, copper is not worth 81
cents per pound and wheat is
down to so cents per bushel. Is
it not therefore manifest that cop
per controls the price Of wheat?
Will the wheat raisers Of America
longer tolerate these conditions,
or will they shake off the shackels
of debt and slavery which bind
them and rise up in their majesty
and demand the free, unlimited
and independent coinage. of cop
per?
Until the unholy alliance be-
tween John Sherman and Grover
Cleveland is broken down, we are
slaves, and copper-the money Of
the grandfathers and OF the con-
stitution-will be a tramp among
minis, seeking for the free coinage
of life, an outcast and hungry in
the house of it's father. Desper-
ate ills require heroic remedies.
The hope of copper lies in the de-
struction of Grover Cleveland and
John Sherman. Let these arch
traitors be annihilated, and again
will sweet peace, comfort and hap
piness, the children Of prosperity,
come to this distressed and debt
enslaved people. with copper re-
stored to it's own and re-throned
the monarch Of moneys.
