McCONNELL'S POOR DEFENSE.

The St. Peter Herald quotes j. A.
Mcconnell, proprietor of of the Nicol-
let House, as saying that he offered to
lend coats to the two wheelmen from
this city to whom he denied admit
lance to the dining room of his hotel
because they did not wear coats. He
says that his offer was refused, and
that he has always denied admittance
to persons mot properly clad" If
Mcconnell is correctly quoted, he adds
to his previous conduct the low resort
of telling what is not the truth in or
der to try to defend his acts. He not
only did not offer coats to the wheel
men, but he did not speak one word
to them, but walked past them
through the Office of his hotel with
his head down and refused to recog-
nize them, although he must have
known one of them for several years.
Had coats been offered they would
have been accepted. If the Herald
is as careless in quoting Mcconnell
as it is in quoting the FREE PRESS,
there is much doubt whether he really
made the statement that the Herald
credits him with.

WILL NOT PAY,
l.. ii. NJ. Fletcher Assessed on $4,000
Despite His Affidavit.

Despite the affidavit of L. G. M.
Fletcher, the county board Of equali-
cation voted before adjourning Fri
day afternoon to assess him on a
valuation of $4,000 for notes and
moneys. The board also ordered that
a list of twenty holders Of mortgages,
executed by the register Of deeds in
compliance with the boards order to
make out a new list of all holders of
mortgages from April 2lst to date and
in effect prior to May 1st, be assessed
as returned
A FREE PRESS reporter asked Mr..
Fletcher this afternoon what he in
tended to do in view of the boards
action. He replied as followed:
81 will never pay the tax on that
valuation. If l did, it would be
an admission that l did not tell the
truth in my affidavit and in my talk
to the board. l am too old to lie, and
life is too short. shall set down and
fight that action for forty years before
l will pay the tax. When l made a
sworn affidavit that l had no such

B. ID. SrllTH WILL PROTEST.
Modern Woodmen Worked up Over
One of Their New Rules.

Committees from the Modern Wood
men camps of St. Paul met Wednes-
day evening at the Windsor hotel with
Attorney B. D. Smith, of this city,
the state member of the national
board of directors of that order. The
meeting was held to give Mr.. Smith
information wherewith he can make
a protest against the action of the su-
preme council at it's recent annual
meeting, in which it so revised the
laws as to raise serious question with
regard to the validity Of the certifi-
Gates of many members.
The law changed was in regard to
members that are manufacturers,
dealers or stockholders of companies
that deal in malt and spurious or
vinous liquors, and to any person en-
ployed in that business. The new by
laws absolutely excluded these from
membership and made no provision
for those that are already members of
the organization. The question that
Immediately arose was whether the
men so employed would lose their GER
tificates and the money that they had
already paid into the order, the law
going so far, according to the construc-
tion of many, as to prevent men work
ing on a farm for the owner of a
brewery, saloon, distillery, vineyard,
etc., from belonging to the order.
Mr.. Smith is to attend meeting of
the board of directors and the officers
Of the supreme council, called at Rock
Island, ILL.,, Aug. II, at which an eff
fort will be made to reach a salts
factory agreement on a construction
of the bylaw that will not be as radi-
cal and sweeping as it now appears to
be. The St. Paul camps want the rule
so interpreted as to leave them where
they were before it was changed,
which will allow the employees OF brew
cries, ETC., to belong to the order.

CASHIERS STORY.
His Version of thea Trouble With the
u, w. A,

The Minneapolis Tribune says that
w. II. Cashier, the bicycle man VIII
wanted to start club of the U. w. A.
in this city was taken to that
city on warrant charging him with
grand larceny in taking a bicycle
from the Ben Hur agency. Castner
says the trouble was that he was at
Faribault where he had the wheel
and left it and went to Waterville
by team, sending word back by a
travelling man to have the wheel
returned and that the message mis-
carried or the hotel keeper ignored it
and kept the wheel. Regarding his
trouble with the U. w. A. he said
''that he has been unable to report
since he was at St. James several days
ago, and that because of the agitation
about the wheel he thinks the officers
of the U. w. A. became anxious and
wanted him found. He expects to be
able to clear himself, but thinks the
papers have worked him an injustice"

Inquiry as to what the thresaer's
half-bushel will show elected the fact
that the yield of wheat will be light
in Murray county. The hail storm of
last Sunday destroyed large area of
grain, estimated at not less than
eight to ten thousand acres, covering
stretch Of country about three miles
wide and twelve to fifteen miles long.
Several farmers interviewed claim
that the average for the county will
not exceed six to eight bushels of
wheat to the acre. Corn promises to
be good crop. Harvesting Of small
grain is over and stacking well ad-
vanced all along the line between
