CHE WAS AN ACTOR"
City Attorney Young Tells One on
Representative BOObar.

Among the joint committeeman of
the legislature to arrive in Mankato
last night to visit the Normal school
was Representative Boobar, of ST.
Cloud, an old friend of City Attorney
Young.
1t seems that Mr.. BOobar was at one
time the heavy villain in an amateur
dramatic company which visited some
of the little towns around ST. Cloud,
and Mr.. Young tells the following on
the representative:
sit has been eight years since | saw
BOobar. At that time we were play
ing, as a company of amateur troopers
who had strayed little too far from
home, light comedy drama called
Down by the Sea- don't know how
we happened to think we could act
unless it was the 'jOllying' we re-
ceived from our friends, who turned
out en- maSSe to see US. About the
first thing that happened when we
performed in town not our own was
the unexpected. In one place in the
drama | was to shoot Boobar, and |
walked out upon the stage pointing a
murderouS-looking property revolver
at his head. But the gun wouldn't go
off. The audience was worked up to
a fever heat at SO vital climax, and
when l pulled the trigger and the
hammer struck the cartridge with a
click the people in front began laugh
ing in their sleeves. | kept pulling
away and the hammer kept clicking.
Boobar saw wasn't going to make it,
and rendered desperate by the horse
laughs we were getting from the audi
ence suddenly fell down on the stage,
as dead as mackerel.
son another occasion Boobar had
the part of drunkard in the first act
and a Keeley graduate in the last.
After his reformation had come on he
appeared on the stage in faultleSS
attire, his natural Smooth-shaven face
being beautifully Ornamented by one
of those homemade moustaches
which are held in place by couple of
hooks in the nostrilS. While Boobar
was dilating on the wonderful change
that temperance had wrought in him
one Of these hooks worked loose and
the stash' skewed around until one
end was poked into his eye while the
other brushed the lapel of his coat.
That was more than the audience
could stand. In ten seconds we were
in pandemonium of scornful laughter,
boots and cat-calls, and the curtain
was rung down to shut out the hor-
rible sight"

ATE nORPHlNE.
And for That Reason Mabel Nichols
Wants a Divorce

Attorney Byron Hughes today filed
the papers for Mabel @. Nichols pc
tition for divorce from her husband.
Ralph A. Nichols.
The plaintiff states that she was
married to defendant at Sioux Falls
in October, '93, and that her age was
"a and Ralph's 26. Immediately after
their wedding she states, her husband
began to abuse and treat her cruelty,
and that he has since neglected to
provide her with food and clothing
although abundantly able to do so.
On January 1st, "a, according to the
plaintiff, her husband struck and beat
her, and on the goth he attempted to
shoot her and but for the intervention
of friends would have accomplished
his purpose. She further alleges that
Ralph is an habitual drunkard, COM
ing home in that condition and abus-
ing plaintiff and calling her obscene
names. She also says the defendant
is addicted to the use of morphine.

IN THE COURTS.
Mercantile Company Closed
Stein Case Under Advise
mant-JaqO Nav Go Froe.

In vacation of court last night, an
order returnable Friday, was served
on the Mankatoe Mercantile Company
at the instance of the FREE PRESS
PRINTING COMPANY in an order re-
curing them to show cause why
a receiver should not be appointed,
also restraining the company and Mr..
Brown from disposing Of any property
until further order from the court.
The argument for new trial in the
Stein-Saulpaugh case was made from
1:3O to $3.50 by Attorneys WEIGH and
Jones, assisted by Messrs Plymat and
Smith of this city. The claim for a
new trial was based mainly on points
of law and was much the same as at
the regular trial. The court took the
case under advisement.
Henry Jago, the Madison Lake man
who is being held for forgery, was
brought into court at $3.50 pm. In a
writ of habeas corpus, A ttorney Daley
made an able fight for the prisoner
and the probability is that Jago will
go scot free of the charge of forgery.
County attorney Benedict asked for
time in which to cite authorities and
the case was continued until 9 am.
tomorrow.
Kate Dellaughter, of Lake Crystal,
was ordered to the insane asylum. She
was incarcerated at ST. Peter six
years ago.
In the matter of the estate Of Ann
Dixon, deceased, an order was made
and entered correcting error in the de-
cription of real estate in final decree
made and entered December 10, 1894.

A GOOD TREASURE.

The corrupt practices bill which was
introduced in the legislature the other
day seems to be attracting good deal
Of attention, and of a favorable nature.
While Minnesota has not suffered to
any great extent, as compared with
some of the older states, in the mat
ter of corrupt elections, still it is well
enough to head off anything which
NAV tend in that direction. 1t is a
common complaint, that the natural
trend of affairs is to make it more and
more expensive to make canvass for
a public office, and that in many in
stances poor man is practically bar
red from aspiring to public position
should he have the inclination. The
bill in question, while covering all
corrupt practices which might be in
dulged in in political canvass and
election, also limits the expense OF a
candidate and prevents all lavish use
of money. This is as it should be.
This, and the provision which COM
pels the filing by campaign COM
mittees of statement of their eX-
penses, with an itemiZed voucher for
all amounts over S., ought and will
have statutory effect upon our politi-
cal campaigns, and prevent abuses
growing up, which have become
notorious in some of the older states

THE WORK OF THE LAWMAKERS.

The legislature got somewhat
ambitious Saturday and both houses
held sessions, but when the senate ad-
journed it was until Wednesday. The
bill which had been previously passed
making Lincoln's birthday a holiday
was repealed and new one passed, to
take effect next year. This was be-
cause complications might arise in
legal and commercial matters, because
of the short notice.
Senator Miller introduced a bill to
amend the tax laws so that they shall
include bicycles as taxable property.
Senator Morgan wants the law re-
lating to the inspection of steam YES
sells and steam boilers changed some
what. He would have the board to
comprise of member from each con-
gressional district, and has introduced
bill to that effect.
Another primary election bill made
it's appearance introduced by Senator
MaSterman.
In the house Representative Juliar
introduced a bill to amend existing
laws relating to highways.
A bill to amend the constitution
granting women the right of franchise
was introduced.
A bill was also introduced in the
senate which provides that the stone
used in the construction of public
buildings shall be quarried, cut and
dressed in the state, but it also pro-
vides that if stone of as good quality
outside the state can be secured at less
cost, it may be used.
Representative Littleton intro
duced a sweeping bill regarding the
liability of employers. 1t provides
that every person, corporation, co
partnership, and each member thereof,
engaged in operating or conducting
any mine, railway, sawmill, factory or
establishment OF any kind producing
an article of commerce, shall be liable
for all damages sustained by any per-
son, including employees, without re-
gard to their employment in such
places of business, in consequence OF
any misnianagemento or defects in the
machinery, implements or instrument
talities used in operating such institu-
tions whether the result of commits
sioner or omission of such agent or
employees while acting, or claiming to
act, within the scope of their authority
connected Herewith. 1t provides
that any contract which restricts such
liability shall not be legal or binding.
1t further defines the duties of the
courts in all actions to enforce the
liabilities under this act, to construe
this law literally in favor of employees
and other persons complaining.

LEGISLATIVE DOINGS.

In the senate yesterday Senator
Roverud introduced bill defining
yagrancy and providing a penalty
therefore. 1t also inclueds within its
definition any person who shall be the
keeper, proprietor or exhibitor of any
gaming table or device, or assists at
any such table or device, is guilty OF
Vagrancy. Any person who for the
purpose of gaming travels about from
place is guilty of vagrancy. Also any
person having burglars tools, etc.
Senator Ozmun introduced, and
tried to have passed under suspension
of the rules bill prohibiting the dis
play Of foreign flags on the public
buildings of the state. He failed in
this and it was referred TO the
judiciary committee.
Senator A. G.. johnson introduced
bill appropriating 100000 for the pur-
chase of seed grain for sufferers by
hail or storms during 1894 1t provides
that any farmer desiring to secure
any of the money will be required to
inform the county auditor of all the
circumstances which he thinks should
entitle him to participate in the fund.
The matter will then be passed upon
by the county commissioners, who
will determine the amount of money
to be allowed. On April l the gov
ernor, state treasurer and state audi
tor will pass upon the applications
from the counties. All money fur
nished is to be a first lien upon the
crops raised until paid.
Senator Spencer wants the constitu-
ton amended requiring voter to re-
side in the state one year before he
Can vote.

LEGISLATIVE WORK

Frirday Senator Johnson intro
duced resolution to investigate into
the state institutions purchasing
their supplies outside OF the state.
The intent of the resolution is to Sc
cure the purchasing of such supplies
within the state when the same quail
ity can be purchased at practically
the same price.
The bill making Lincoln's birth
day legal holiday in Minnesota was
reported favorably in the senate, and
after few remarks the rules were
suspended, and the bill passed. 1t
now goes to the governor.
In the house Representative Shell
introduced bill for the codiflcatlon
of the insurance laws of the state.
1t is based on the Massachusetts
law of 1894. recognized as one OF the
best insurance laws of the United
States and covering all lines of insur-
ances save township, including real
estate, title, assessment, life and ac-
,cident insurance. For the first time
in the history of Minnesota the legis-
lature has before it in the Shell bill
proposition for controlling the mutual
fire insurance companies OF the state.
These companies have until now
. operated without much restraint,
and the people of the state have more
than once felt the need of legislation
placing them under proper control.
The Shell bill does not change the eX-
listing life insurance laws OF the state,
which are said to be very good, but
it is somewhat more stringent than
the present law in the management OF
fire insurance companies.
Insurance commissioner Smith,
under whose direction the cOditication
Was made, stated that it was bill
to protect the people, not the COM
panieS.
Representative Sampson introduced
bill relating to banks and banking
corporations, allowing them to hold
real estate for own use not to exceed
in value % per cent of the capital
STOCK also such estate as is mortgaged
to it or is given in satisfaction of
debts or purchaceS under sale, but
such property cannot be held for more
than five years. Further, all banks
must have all of their capital stock
paid in before commencing business,
The number of bills introduced in
the senate reach 255, and in the
house 253.

FROM this distance it looks as
though the more Lawyer Erwin tried
to shake the story of .BliXt of his muir
der of Miss Cling, and the part Harry
Hayward had in it, the stronger he
makes the case of the state against
Hayward. Blixt has proved a most
remarkable witness, and Mr.. Erwin
with all his shrewdness has failed to
mix him up.

JAPANESE LOVE NJ
The Mother Trains Her children to
Be Kind 10 Them.

The love of animals seems to be i'm
planted in the hearts OF the japanese,
and IS al exceedingly amtable trait of
their character. There is a wonderful
sympathy existing between them and
the lower animals which a stranger can
not fail to notice and admire. Con-
sideration for the lower order of beings
is probably the result of the kindly
tenets of Buddha. who instilled the les
son of divine humanity into his fol-
lowers: but it may be that the benevol-
enee of the japanese owes its origin to
fear as well as love, since they are be-
levers In transmigration, and Buddha
says: THY future birth Will Zoe unhappy
If thou doest cruel things"
The education of the japanese child
is derived in most cases from his
mother. who teaches him morality and
tenderness while yet an infant. To
this beautiful feminine Influence may be
traced the love of the little ones for
of playing with toads, snad1s and butter
flies, but handle them SO gently that
they escape unframed; even the t.niest
toddler Will go out of the way to avoid
crushing the meanest worm that crawfs.
Their parents and nurses tell them all
the folk lore Of the country teens with
stories of birds and beasts and fishes.
The little ones grow up with many
pretty coneeits about birds and Insects;
among others they nave ar~hythTniea1
