MADE GOV. RAMSEY SMILE.
The Reappearance of the story of
CRrVer's Claims

The dispatch from Chillicothe, O.,
printed recently in the G o b e, con-
veying the information that c.. B. HoI-
loway and Q. U. Gum, two Ohioans,
claimed to own the cites of ST. Paul
and Minneapolis and eleven smaller
towns in this vicinity by inheritance
from the famous Jonathan Carver,
made ex-Gov. Ramsey laugh, when it
was called to his attention.
That Carver story is started every
year or So" said Gov. Ramsey, ''and
it is really quite amusing. Carver
came to this country in 1772 or 1773-be-
for the Revolution anyways a pri-
vate individual seeking his fortune AS
for the Indians deciding him any land,
that was impossible, for the country
belonged to the British empire and
under its laws the Indians or any other
uncivilized nation could not sell or
give away foot of the empires ter
ritOry. Doubtless those friendly In
dians would have cheerfully given
Carver the whole world in exchange
for a sufficient quantity of tobacco and
fire water that this enterprising Yankee
might have had about him. They could
certainly have decided him the whole
earth as effectually as they could one
foot of British soil.
II see it is stated that the English
government, then under George Ill,
fdl1Il6Q carver treaty with the III
dams. Such an assertion is preposter-
ously absurd, as much SO as it would
be to say that the United Staes after
acquiring the ownership of it's present
territory, had ever ratified a deed by
Indians to any portion of that territory
purporting to convey the land to any
Individual or institution. Our laws in
this respect are the same as were those
of the British empire. This being the
case. it makes little difference whether
the deed of gift from the Indians to
Carver has been lost or found OF
whether it was properly executed OF
ever recorded"

SUBJECT OF TEMPERANCE.
Ciergymen VIII Give Attention to
1t Next Sunday.

1t Next Sunday.
Reverends Watson B. Millard, ]. r.
Stout. w. Mckinley, w. G. Covert, T.
2. Egbert and j. w. Conley have
signed call for the observance of next
| Sunday as Temperance Sunday. 1t is
thought the day will be generally OBJ
served.
Following is the call:
! An effort is being made by the Christian
Temperance people to establish the fourth
sunday or November as annual Temperance
Sunday to be universally observed. The
movement originated in the London Sunday
School union. and has been taken up by lead
ing temperance and Sunday school workers
OF America, and has the Endorsement of bish-
| tions.
workers of the National Woman's Christian
Temperance union, the General Assembly of
the Presbyterian church gave cordial in
dorsement to the plan and changed the date
OF their annual temperance Sunday from the
third Sunday of November to the fourth
Sunday Of November, also the General AS
sem6iy OF the United Presbyterian church.
the National Triennial Council of Congrega-
tional churches, and the General Conference
OF the Methodist Episcopal church have
ADOPTED the day, and by resolution recon-
mended and urged its. annual observance in
all their churches By action of the execu-
tive committee of the International Sunday
school convention. the Sunday school work
ers everywhere are called upon for special
observance of the fourth Sunday of Novem-
Der of each year as Temperance Sunday.
In view OF the above facts, and with de-
sire to aid this movement, which commends
itself to Christian people everywhere, we,
the Undersigned, earnestly request the pas
tors Of all churches in our city to observe
Nov. p as Temperance Sunday We recon-
mend that temperance sermons be preached
in the morning and special attention be CIV
en- to the teaching of Bible temperance
lesson in the Sunday school. with the intro
duction of such other features as will make
the Sunday school hour significant for tenn
perance. We would call the attention of the
Young Peoples societies to the subject of the
temperance reform, and ask that in their
evening meetings it be made special sub
ject for prayer.
We would further suggest that in the even
Ing union temperance Christian citizen
ship meetings be held in localities where 1t
may be practicable. The above call Is made
to the end that Christian temperance senti-
ment be aroused and stimulated in our city,
and that the Christian churches take their
| rightful place as leaders in this great re-
form movement.

COULDN'T HEAR MORGAN.
Tie Bethel Preacher Wants to
Make Trouble.

Rev. David Morgan called on Cor
poration Attorney Darragh yesterday
afternoon and asked him to order
warrant issued for the arrest of the
party in whose name the license for a
saloon on South Washington street was
taken out. The owner of the license
is the Hamm Brewing company and the
license is made in the name of Theodore
H2mm. The saloon itself is conducted
by another man. Rev. Morgan says
that the saloon is kept open after mid
night, and he insists that the corpor-
alton attorney shall make test case
Of the violation in order to ascertain
whether criminal proceedings for such
violation can be successfully instituted
against the party who secured and who
owns the license
Mr.. Darragh and the Bethel divine
held spirited discussion over the mat
ter, the latter insisting that the corpor-
alton attorney was bound to take the
action requested. Mr.. Darragh took a
different view of the question, holding
that he was not employed by the city
to institute test cases merely to accom-
modate private citizens who might de-
sire to experiment with the machinery
of the law.
Furthermore, Mr.. Darragh informed
the Rev. Mr. Morgan, that he, Darragh,
had not shaped the saloon policy in this
city, and had no immediate supervision
or control over the saloons
''The mayor and chief of police have
the care Of the Saloons" said Mr.. Dar-
ragh. why don't you go to your
mayor, Mr.. Morgan, and ask him to
reform these abuses. He can close the
saloons at midnight il he wants to-
Rev. Mr.. Morgan left the corporation
attorneys office very much disgruntled.
After the Bethel proprietor had DEPART
ed. a city official, who knew what he
was after, remarked:
"Its different when the boot is on the
| other leg. If the mayor happened to be
| a Democrat and the corporation attor-
| ney Republican, Morgan would be
| around pestering the mayor instead"

ROBBED A CREAMERY.
Burglars Break Into a Store on St
Peter Street.

The front door Of the Wisconsin
creamery, at 500 st. Peter street, was
broken open by thieves yesterday
morning between / and 2 o'clock. The
burglars forced a Jimmy between the
casing and the lock and forced it open.
A Karlin, proprietor of the place, says
the burglars secured between SO and
81 in money from the cash drawer. He
did not mind this so much, but they
rified the safe, which is always left
unlocked, and carried off a lot Of valu-
able papers, including deeds and in
surance policies. The inside doors to
the safe were pried open evidently in
the search for cash. The police officer
found the front door Of the store open
at 2 o'clock, but claims it was securely
fastened an hour previous. The pro-
prietor says this makes the fourth
time the store has been robbed in the
last six years.
