Feeling That PopuIist Cannot BE


Boise, Idaho, Jan. 5.-There is nothing
new in the senatorial contest. 1t is no.
ticeable that the populist candidates put
or brave front and insist that the rup-
ture yesterday between the populists and
the democrats on organization will not
have any effect on the election of senator
The populist members. however, give the
impression that the split may be more Sc
rious. They feel bitter and the result can
not be forecast. It is equally noticeable
that there is a feeling among the demo-
Gratis that populist will not be elected.
They say the democratic members will
vote for a populist, but beyond that they
will not go. Some of the democrats ire in
earnest in proposing to elect a populist
senator, but others have no heart in it.

New Minnesota FraternaI Insurance
Order Is Launched.

Articles of Incorporation of a frater-
nal insurance order, organized on the
assessment plan, were filed in the office
Of the insurance commissioner yeSter-
day. 1t is somewhat unique and I'M
usual in it's plan, because its rates of
insurance are based on the experience
Of the "Old Line" insurance companies.
It will be known as The order of Home
Defenders" The incorporators of the
new order, who are also the officers
of the Supreme home, are as folloWs:
John Douglas, supreme president;
Peter M. Kerst, supreme vice president;
George W. Stone, supreme secretary;
William J. Footner, supreme treasurer;
James J. McCafferty, supreme coun-
selor; Herbert w. Davis, M. D., SUI
preme medical director; Hinton G. Lee,
supreme organizer; Ferdinand Willius,
chairman supreme finance committee;
l.. A. Grant, chairman supreme board
of trustees.
ST. Paul has been selected as the
permanent location of the Supreme
home, by which title the headquarters
of the order will be known. SubOrdi-
nate homes will be organized at once
in Minneapolis and st. Paul. and the
work extended net only throughout Min
nesota, but in every state in the Union
recognized by similar institutions as
healthy localities.
The objects of the order, as stated in
the prospectus of the company, is to
unite. fra ternally, persons of both sexes
of the white race, in a social and bene-
ficiary order, organized on the assess
ment or cooperative plan.
Its aim is to improve the members
socially. Intellectually and morally;
cultivate the spirit of fraternity, and
further, establish and carry out a sys-
tenn of life insurance, which, while
reasonable in cost, shall be thoroughly
SAFE uniformly equitable, and founded
on a soundly scientific basis that will
insure it's sufficiency and permanency.
Among the features of this new order,
is the fact that it opens the doors to
women on identically the same footing
as men. They make the claim that the
average woman is as good or better,
an insurance risk than the average
man.
John Douglas, the supreme president,
referring to the innovation of admitting
women to the full enjoyment of the
beneficiary features of the order says:
"The name of the order, Home De-
Tenders" was not selected without con-
sideration and a high purpose. Every
thoughtful observer knows that there
are powerful malignant currents and
tendencies operating in American So
ciety adverse to the sanctity and per-
manency of the American home. These
unholy tendencies constitute the gray
est menace to the truest welfare Of
the people. 1t will be the noble mis-
sion of this order to impress on all it's
members the sacred obligation to de-
fend the home and family against every
enemy and influence that would in any
degree weaken the sweet and sacred
ties that unite husband and wife, par
ents and children"

ANOTHER VICTIM SKINNED.
Wouldn't Bet, but Gave Bail to BO-
gus officer.

The ICON" men with the little brass
lock turned another trick yesterday
by which $25 was secured from an I'M
suspecting young man. The victim,
Lot Hamilton, hailing from Steuben,
Wis, reported his loss to the police
and is quartered at the central sta
ton to identify the men who fleeced
him in case they are apprehended.
Hamilton reached st. Paul yesterday
morning. He is an engineer and is on
his way to Courtney, N. D., to take
charge of a threshing engine during
harvest. To employ his time until the
Western train left in the evening Ham
ilton decided upon a walk about the
city While gazing at the tall build
ings at Third and Jackson streets, he
was accosted by a faShily dressed
stranger, with sandy hair and a red
moustache, who asked him where he
was going. Hamilton cOnfidingly in
formed the man of his destination and
strangely enough the man was also
going to Courtney. He proposed view
ing the city together and Hamilton
consented.
He of the red moustache led the
young countryman out to the high
bridge where they were joined by a
second stranger, who said he was from
Chicago. While the second man was
admiring the perspective from the
picked up a brass lock. 1t was an odd
affair and stubbornly refused to open.
The second stranger said it was the
easiest thing in the world to open the
lCck and sprung the catch at the first
trial. Then he wanted to bet Hamil-
ton $50 he could not do the same thing.
Hamilton refused the wager and the
two strangers bet between themselves
several times. Then a neatly dressed
individual wearing a dark blue suit
appeared upon the scene and promptly
put the three men under arrest for
gambling upon the public streets. He
had a big tin star pinned on his
breast and declared he must do his
duty. There was a parley during
which the policeman" softened some,
what and agreed to let the prisoners
go free If they would put up sufficient
bond. Hamilton said he had no money,
but when the Officer started to
search him, he handed out $25 of the
only $50 he had in the world. The two
strangers made a bluff at giving the
jealous policeman" money, when he
disappeared toward Seventh street
with an admonishion for Hamilton to
be in court early today. Hamilton's
new acquaintance. soon found they
had business elsewhere and left him
standing on the bridge. He had no
money to proceed on his journey and
went to the police station, where he
was informed he had been ''buncoed."

HERBERT PHILLIPS DIES SUDDEN
LY AT HIS HOME ON TENTH
STREET.
WHAT AN AUTOPSY SHOWED.
HAD JUST RETURNED FROM VISIT
ING HIS CHILDREN AT STE
VEINS POINT
COMPLAINED OF FEELING I'LL.
Unopened Bottle of Laudanum
Found, but He Had Taken No
Poison.

Herbert Phillips, an accountant in
the employ of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, died at Ais East
Tenth street. suddenly yesterday, from
an attack of heart disease. Phillips
was found in a state of semi
ness by a domestic at 1880 o'clock
when she went to call him for break
fast. He was moaning with pain, but
the girl supposed him to be sleeping,
as no response was made to her sum-
mons. In about ten minutes Mrs.
Schroeder. at whose home Phillips
bearded, visited Phillips room and
realized that he was dying. He asked
for a glass of water and sank to his
pillow. DR.. c. c. Miller, living next
door, was hastily summoned, but could
do nothing for the suffering man who
died shortly after the physicians az
rival. At an inquest conducted at the
undertaking rooms of Bantz & Co., by
Deputy Coroner L. A. Nelson and DR..
Harry Richie, yesterday afternoon, the
cause of death was ascertained. Phil
lips heart was found to be in a very
| bad condition.
Mr.. Phillips wife died about four
months ago, and two children of the
couple were sent to relatives at Stevens
Point, Wis. Phillips visited his children
Monday and returned to his home very
| tired and complaining of not feeling
well. He retired Immediately after
supper, but about o'clock left the
house for fifteen minutes. Returning
he went to bed and nothing was known
OF his dangerous illness until the next
| morning, though after his death, H
Schultz, who also has rooms at the
same place, recalled having heard Phil
lips moaning at different times dur
ing the night. Deputy Coroner Nell
son found bottle of laudanum in the
dead mans ROOM but it was unopened
1t is thought that Phillips purchased
the drug when he left the house dur
ing the evening as means of relief,
but did not take any of it. The body
will be shipped to Stevens Point, Wis,
today, where it will be buried by re-
latiVes at that place.

Rain Interfered With Schedule of

Rain played hob with the railroad tracks
leading into st Paul yesterday, and the re-

YOUNGERS WE'RE BRAVE,
But the Question of Pardon Should
BE Carefully Considered
To the Editor of the Globe.

To the Editor of the Globe
General sentiment is aroused by the pres
ent agitation for the pardon of the Young
ers.
The James and Younger brothers band
passed my fathers farm house going and
returning from their murderous tour Two
of my younger brothers, with their rusty
muskets, were among the captors-but not
among the heroic seven. Capt. Murphy's
seven heroes faced the killing bullets of
the Missouri bushWhackers-it was not a
BURBERRY battle. No Drawer men than those
seven who closed in upon the bushrangers
can be found in epic. song or story.
clerked for Capt. Yates, whose horse and
carbine he ran away with for the battle
in the Watonwan willows, seven miles west
of Medeia Siverson was a big-hearted dare
silver haired. veteran of the Civil war living
in his model homestead. He was the leader
who calculated not the imminent danger.
Night was aDproaching-if the robbers could
hold out till dark their chances of escape
were good. Murphy, Glispin, Bradford and
the other four stormed the willows and re-
ceived the bandits bullets but were only
slightly grazed. Aisle SObol, the boy from
Linden who gave the alarm, was of the
dime novel type, much akin to Siverson, botn
of whom told of Handy Andy exploits in the
fray.
But on the question of pardon 1 am not
clear. Capt. Yates senatorial fling at Hon.
w. R. Estes, while smart retort is IN
worthy of this discussion, which 1 hope the
far-minded Minnesotans will not allow any
influence. Mr.. Estes insinuatons against
Warden Wolfer too are unfair. The Young
ers, 1 believe, are high-minded men, not
skulking assassins. Their deeds would have
made them heroes with Walter SCOTS "Rob-
in Hood" 1 pity them. Much in their miti-
cation may be urged on the score of early
environments Their fathers active hand in
the feuds of Southwestern Missouri; their
guerilla enterprises in behalf of the rebel
lous Confederacy; but yet the welfare of So
ciety demands that the question of their
pardon be net considered in the sentimental
hysterical mood which prompts the flower
ovations given to many atrocious murder
ers. That they have been exemplary pris-
oners sufficiently punished and will. if par
doned, become good citizens, l grant and be-
leve. That other prisoners have been par
doned for worse crimes is not a good rea.
son for the pardon of other malefactors.
What effect their pardons will have upon
the ill-bent natures who, from incident or
intent, may become highwaymen? That is
the question and the vital issue for the just
intelligence of the grand state of Minnesota
to decide. Maybe bandits may see in the
present ecat and portraits of the Younger
brothers heroes. Yet if their own plans be-
come Inflated that after all, they will gain
notoriety, easy prison life and pardon.
1 ask for the opinion of the sociological
jurists, of Gladstone, Cushman K. Davis,
a Knute Nelson upon this serious question.
