SWANSON WAS SENSITIVE,
But His Manners Were Not Approved
In Court.

John Swanson, ThomasoDavin, John Alquist
and John McQuade were arraigned in the mu-
n:cipal court yesterday on the charge of dis
orderly conduct. The quartette are residents
Of Minneapolis, and engaged in a fight on an
interurban car at University and Prior ave-
nues, while en- route to the Flour City Tuesday
night.
The trouble arose over discussion of that
peIpleXing question, the labor problem. Nc
Quade and DAWN occupied a seat Immediately
behind Swanson and Alquist Both men had
been drinking They began to deplore the low
wages Of the present time, and finally arrived
at the conclusion that the foreign" element
forced wages to the prevailing low standard.
McQuade was firm in the belief that the Swedes
were in large measure responsible for the
degradation of American labor and ventured
the remark that Scandinavians in general
were good for nothing.
Swanson, sitting in the seat in front of the
debaters, could not see the force of McQuades
argument and, turning around struck him
three vicious blows in the face DAWN cut in
to assist his friend, and in the general mix
which followed, his head was knocked through
the car window.
Several ladies In the car were badly fright
ened. The conductor stopped the car and sent
to the Prior avenue station for an officer
Sergeant Kline hurried to the scene of con-
fiict and placed the men under arrest.
McQuade and DAWN were both badly used
up when they appeared In court.
Judge Twohy stated that Swansons assault
was wholly unprovoked, and fined the pug
nacious Scandinavian $50. McQuade and Dav-
in were each fined $40 for being drunk, while
Alquist, who was shown not to have been
concerned in the affair, was discharged.

BIG STONE THE NEXT.
Convention to Be Held
at Clinton.

Immigration Convention to Be Held
at Clinton.
An immigration convention will be held at
Clinton. Big Stone county, May IS, when yari-
Gus surrounding counties will be represented.
A large attendance is anticipated. with the
successful results that have attended all the
immigration conventions of the year.
Secretary P. B. Groat, of the State Immigra-
tion association. said yesterday that the in
creasing correspondence of his Office was in
accord with the vastly augmented immigra-
ton movement that began few weeks ago.
Settlers" said Mr.. Groat "are not only
seeking homes in the rich prairie regions of
Western Minnesota, but they are purchasing
homes in the timber districts of the north and
northeast. Heretofore much of the present
available land in the latter region was monop-
olized by numbering firms. Moreover. the
thorough advertising received by the prairie
counties induced settlers to hurry past the
timber counties on their way West. Settle
ment and experiment have proved, however,
that the clay mari, which is the soil Of good
part of the Sixth district, is both rich and
vigorous. 1t can be periodically renewed by
simple stirring up of the clay subsoil or by
mixing with the decomposed granitio rock
common to that district. Above all, this tim
Der region is adapted for dairying 1t is prob
ably the best dairying country in the United
States, everything considered. The indigenous
grasses-blue joint and red top-grow so lux
uriantly in every clearing and are so nutri-
tious for stock that settlers are frequently.

other cultivated grass The numbering roads
opened by the loggers. in every direction are
striking evidences of the soils fertility. These
roads are thirty feet wide and are thoroughly
cleared and grubbed. So soon as spring sun
shine strikes the soil, the native grasses

basha street. The happy groom Is a painter
in the employ of the Great Western Railroad
company.
The marriage ceremony took place at Hud-
son, Wis, where so many matches are made
instead Of in heaven, where they are said to
be ordained.
The affair has quite a romantic tinge, In
that Mr.. Kraus is twenty-five years the
senior of his young and pretty wife. Then,
too, he has been married before, and has but
recently secured a divorce from his first
wife.
These facts are the reasons assigned for
the objections of Miss Lauer's parents to
Kraus as suitor for their daughters hand
The parties to the marriage, however, have
known each other for several years, and
Kraus has been a frequent caller at the
Lauer home. They very recently became en-
gagged, which fact served to greatly arouse
the ire of Lauer pere. He declared Kraus
could never again enter his home and for
bade his daughter ever seeing him again. A
couple of weeks passed with Kraus unadmit-
ted to the presence of his loved one, and the
young girl constantly under the strict sur
veilance of her parents. Last Monday, how
ever Miss Lauer left her home, met her
lover, and together they hied themselves to
Hudson and were married.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kraus are residing on jack
son street, and patiently waiting for the
angry father in the case to relent and bestow
his blessing.

Hanan Shoe Company Formally
Open Their New Store.
The store at the northwest corner of Sixth
and Wabasha streets was literally thronged
all day yesterday and throughout the evening
The occasion was the formal opening of the
new quarters of the Hanan Shoe Company and
the citizens of st. Paul have reason for feeling
proud that the Hanan Shoe Company did not
adhere to their original determination to close
their local store. Their present store has
been entirely remodeled and redecorated, and
the fixtures present a rich appearance that is
rarely seen outside of New York or Chicago
The store yesterday was handsomely adorned
with palms and flowers, while roses were
given to the ladies souvenirs, and Ryder's s
orchestra furnished the music.
Crowds of people kept passing around, and
many were the eXclamations of delight and
pleasure that could be heard both in regard to
the rich fittings and to the swell stock Of
shoes which were there for inspection. Prom
1nent among the late styles were the Ladies'
Man-Fashion Shoe, which is Hanan's own
style, and is very popular among the fastidious
dressers in the East.
Their new location is admirably suited for
the fine trade, and is, in fact, enc of the most
desirable corners in the city, and they were
fortunate in securing it.

HEADQUARTERS, AT FARGO.
Judge SanbOrn Hears the LamOnt-
Northern Pacific Suit,

Judges Sanborn and Thomas, in the United
States court yesterday partly heard the le-
gal squabble between Joseph Lamont, pro-
prietor of the Headquarters hotel at Fargo
and the receivers of the Northern Pacific
road, to which the property belongs. It ap-
pears that in 1881 Eber H. Bly, was given q
lease of the hotel for ninety-nine years, the
company agreeing to maintain its waiting
rooms and ticket Office therein, have It's trains
stop there, supply water and furnish trans
portation at half rates for the hotel employees
and freight. 1t reserved the right to buy the
lease at any time after lapse of ten years.

NEW TRIAL GRANTED.
Unique, Insurance Case VIII Be
Heard Again.

Judge Kerr has filed an order granting
the plaintiffs motion for new trial in the
case of Joseph Haider against the st. Paul
Fire and Marine Insurance company. The
action was brought TO recover on a policy
for damage resulting from fire. but in the
trial 1t developed that the building projected
out into the street.. and was two feet over
on an adjoining lot, and clause in the poll
icy made 1t void if the building was not sit
uated on the property of the owner. Judge
Kerr ordered a verdict for the defendant on
the strength of this clause but he has come
to the conclusion that this was an error.
Hence the order for a new trial.

me Telephone Ear.

A German newspaper asserts that
about 80, 900 of the inhabitants Of Ber-
lin hear considerably better with their
left ear than with their right. This has
been observed in continually increasing
measure for 10 years. When the cause
was sought for, it appeared that those
who are thus affected are frequent users
OF the telephone. The listening part of
the instrument is generally held in the
left hand and put to the left ear, while
the right hand is often used in taking
notes, etc. In the cases observed the
subjects heard the slightest sound
through the telephone with their left
ears, but could understand little or
nothing II the instrument were put to
their right ears. 1t is therefore con.
cluded that the telephone has an appre-
ciably stimulating effect ON the auditory
nerves, and the recommendation. ia
made that the instrument be used alter
nstely at the right and left BAR.

sprees at a Church Festival.

1t is a custom of the country in Ger
many to get drunk at the conservation
Of q new church. This custom has been
regarded as unlovely and un-C Christian
by many influential Germans of the
new school. most notably by Emperor
William II, but still it remains unre-
formed, and the comic weeklies do not
tire of depicting the scenes in and out
OF the police court that follow the con-
secration sprees and fights. Some time
ago the festival Of a new church was
celebrated in Oberringelheim, in the
Rhine country. In anticipation of the
usual trade in exhilarating liquors a
saloon keeper who does business neal
the sacred ediice advertised thus in the
Rhineland Observer:
Jacob Muller herewith pledges himself Tor a
subscription price Of u marks (75 centsb to
serve every one of his guests with as much
wine as he can drink on the occasion Of the
church conservation.
Inviting my friends and patrons to visit
me In response 10 this request, / remain re-
spectrully yours, JACOB MULLER

containing this advertisement appeared

bought subscription tickets from Null

OF the 80 and their colleagues in this
speculation had to drink 16 large glass
