The Council should not allow itself to
be fooled into allowing the natural gas
companies to introduce meter measure
ment. All the reasons given why the
proposed change should be made are
fnsincere on their face and transparent
ly thin. The TACT that the city and the
people have for once made a good con-
tract with a corporation is reason
why they should not surrender it. If
the gas is giving out let the public have
the benefit of low prices while 1t lasts.

agrarians are missing opportunity to
strike at any American agricultural import
that promises to find market in Germany
in competition with their own products,
and their latest attack Is upon that health
full staple, the American breakfast dish of

introduced with apparent success cracked
oats and is advertising everywhere after
the American style. people are inter-

Revenue Cutter Officers to he Retired.
WASHINGTON, April 9.-Instructions
were to-day issued to a board appointed
by the President yesterday to conduct the
examination for retirement of officers of
revenue cutter service. The instructions
prescribe in detail the duties of the board
and explains that the phrase, .Incapaci-
tated to efficiently perform the duties of
this Office" as contained in the law, is
interpreted to mean an incapacity to per-
form all the duties of revenue cutter off,
Ger, which include serving IN all vcissi-
tudes Of weather and climate. whether on
duty, afoat or ashore. physical activity in
machinery, as well as mental soundness
necessary to the exercise of Judgment

may be intrusted under the laws. BY the

sufficient to cause incapacity.

with the latter body, whom they pur-
pose to aid In every way possible in
preparing for the grand encampment.
This action on the part of the st. Paul

been unlimited by the Minneapolis

with the greatest pleasure by members
of the local committee. A joint meet
ing Of the two bodies Will be called in

intended TO call a committee at an
early day to decide whether or not a
national convention should be called
to take action on the money question.
In order to relieve the minds of

the matter he has written the follow
ing open letter:

pect or intend to call a meeting of the
Democratic national committee until
next winter, when it will meet for the
purpose of fixing the time and place
for holding the Democratic national
convention of 1896, unless l shall be
requested to do so by the requisite
number of the Democratic national
committee. | do not believe there is
any necessity for a convention at his
time; on the contrary, l Am of the
opinion that to call one now would be
harmful to the business interests Of
the country and prejudicial to the
welfare of the Democratic party.

last night and was only prevented
from executing his design by the forci-
BILE interference of neighbors. En-
nett had been about town all day, and
in the evening returned home in a
drunken condition. He and his wife
had an alteration and the woman
fed from the house. Emmett pursued
her into the street and fired a pistol at
her at close range. Then he caught
the unfortunate woman and beat her
about the face with the butt end of
the gun. Two young men pulled the
maddened actor from his victim and
turned him over to the police. Mrs.
Emmett was taken to the receiving
hospital, where she refused to allow
her wounds to be examined. She had
a violent attack of hysteria and the
surgeons could do nothing with her.
She insisted she had not been shot,
aud said her husband was too big a
coward to shoot her. There was a
slight wound in her temple and the
police surgeon said that the bullet
glanced from the bone and lodged un-
der the scalp. Baby Sinnot. a pre-
cocious child who plays with the En-

Mrs. Emmett from her husbands
wrath, but was thrown aside by the
