Only few OF the smaller shorts covered

Duluth reported 1863. cars of wheat today

carloads inspected into store against 10i

The Charleston Gazette takes excep-

reflections upon the old soldiers. and pro-
ceeds with a lengthy statement that IT
favors pensions within reasonable Inn

the Gazette's paragraph was the un-
qualified statement that "all honest SOL

We may differ honestly in the extent
to which the pension laws should so, but
that wasn't the point. The IntellIgencer
made the assertion that the Gazette''
statment was a sweeping insult to every
honest man who is granted a pension
under the law. Arguments upon the
economical features OF the pension lawa

in the composition OF the material with
which you measure length. The com
position Of the unit IL unlmportant, so

value. II Is an error to suppose that,
because the unit OF value Is selected
from one OF the precious metals. such
metal thereby has monetary value

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STORY
ABOUT SELLING MINORS
LIQUOR.
ABOUT BOYS AND SALOONS
HALL CALLS GRAND STAND PLAY.
He Is and Has Been willing to
Prosecute SaIOOnkeepers for
Violating the Law.

The corporation attorneys office and
particularly Assistant Harvey E. Hail.
is worked up over the grand stand"
play attempted by Mayor Doran in
the case of the three minors arrested
for drunkenness last Sunday. One of
the administration organs takes a shot
at the legal department, and says that
there is a lack of sympathy in that de-
partment with the attitude of the
mayor on the question Of selling
liquor to minors. Mr.. Hall. who has
charge of the prosecuting OF cases in
the police court, gives this version of
the matter:
Last Monday morning Lieut. Boern-
er came to me and said the mayor
requested that the three boys arrested
Sunday for drunkenness be discharged
and that warrants be issued forthwith
against the saloonkkeepers who had
sold them liquor. The lads were not
fully recovered from the effects of
their debauch, and l had their cases
continued until Friday. l did this in
order that when they had fully recov-
cred they might be able to tell the sa-
looms they had procured liquor at. At
the time they We're in no condition and
l made an appointment with them at
my office for Thursday afternoon. The
same day the mayor called for me and
asked why [ had not issued warrants
for the arrest of the salOOnkeeperS who
had sold the lads liquor. l informed
his honor of the arrangements made
and also that I had not had the boys
discharged for the reason that it might
result in the cases against the saloon
keepers being thrown out of court from
lack Of testimony. This was all there
was to the conference, and | was sur
prised to notice in one of the papers a
statement, purpcrting to come from the
mayor, to the effect that the legal de-
partment and myself in particular, was
not disposed to prosecute the men who
sold the liquor to the boys. The mayor
denied yesterday that he was respon-
sible for it, and there you are.
Yesterday afternoon 1 had the boys
at MY office in accordance with the
agreement made on Monday and today
warrants will be issued for two sa-
loonkeepers where they were sold
liquor. There has been no Sinking on
my part in the matter and the only
trouble appears to have been that [ did
not have the boys discharged as re-
quested by the mayor when they were
arraigned This was not done because
I desired to use them in prosecuting
the men WON they claim sold them
liquor. The boys will have a hearing
in the police court this morning on the
charge of drunkenness"
