BEARING FALSE WITNESS.

st. Paul closed her three branch high schools
Tor year yesterday, while the postof1ce at
washington added eleven more carriers to the
Minneapolis carrier service. Straws show
wn1ch way the wind blows, and it is very
windy weather just now.-Minneapolds Jour
nal.
This is about the meanest form of
Misrepresentation and slander of which
we have ever known any otherwise
reputable newspaper to be guilty. The
purpose Of the Journals paragrapher
is plain. 1t is to mislead the public
and to convey an impression that Min
neapolis is advancing and st. Paul de-
clining. AS we all know, and none bet
ter than the Journal, such is not tho
case: i o0mitg t9 state that the i've
circumstances to which it calls atten-
tion were due to causes without any
possible connection with each other
Why the eleven carriers were added to
the Minneapolis postal delivery, sery-
ice we do not pretend to know, Were
we inclined to follow the example of
the Journal We might say that it was
because Of some pull on the depart
ment possessed by Congressman
Fletcher. Not being like the Journal.
we are content to assume that the ex-
ira force was required by the increase
The Saint Paul globe., 1897-06-05

Of business and the growth of the
city.
Why the st. Paul school board decid-
ed to close the branch high schools we
do know, and so does the Journal al
though it is not willing that the public
should. These schools were not ordered
closed because of the lack of pupils.
On the contrary, the school enrolment
of the st. Paul central high school and
Of these branch high schools is increas-
ing constantly and rapidly. 1t will be
difficult, if not impossible, to accommo-
date at the central high school the
immense number of pupils seeking ad-
mission next year. The action of the
school board was directed by lack Of
revenue to keep all our educational
work going for the coming year. And
this lack of revenue Is not because the
city is poorer or It's finances more
straitened, but because our assessed
valuation has been reduced, just as
has that of Minneapolis; only our char
ter fixes maximum limit of 21S mills
tax for school purposes, while that Of
Minneapolis does not. The people Of
st. Paul would gladly pay out Of tax
receipts ali the money necessary to
conduct the schools without any
change, and more money and larger
facilities are needed next year than
this, but we are met by an express
provision of the law which we can
neither disregard nor overcome.
We state these facts again, not be-
cause they are new, for they are COM
mon property, but with the hope that
they meet the eye of those persons who
might receive an incorrect impression
from the malicious paragraph in the
Journal, that differs only from an up
right and downright falsehood in that
it adopts the cowardly subterfuge Of
stating the untruth indirectly and by
implication, instead of having the
courage of it's evil intent.

TROOPS ASKED FOR.
Cavalry VIII Be Ordered to Tongue
River Agency.

River Agency.
WASHINGTON June Am appli-
cation has been made to the war de.
partment by Col. Sheridan, ait st. Paul
1.-THE instance Of the army officer in
command at Tongue river, to have a
troop Of cavalry sent there to replace
an infantry company. The appIica-
ton is now before Acting Secretary
Meiklejohn and probably will be grant
ed.
The only report that came to the
war department today concerning the
Tongue river Indian troubles was from
Col. Sheridan. He said that an in
vestigation had been ordered Of the
complaint that had come to the de-
partment headquarters that Indians
were threatening the Miles City post
route.
A telegram from Capt. Stouch at
the Tongue river agency was received
at the Indian Office this afternoon
stating that the Indians are now
quiet. He adds that the Indians un-
der arrest for murder will be escorted
today by military to the Rosebud
agency and delivered, to the sheriff.
The message was dated yesterday. but
as 1t Is sixty miles from the scene of
trouble to the nearest telegraph sta
ton, it was delayed in transmission.
The crisis probably came today when
indian Agent Stouch attempted to es-
cort Badger off the reservation and
deliver him to the civil authorities.
The soldiers were not expected to ac-
company the civitA authorities further
than the reservation. The Indians
knew this and, I'll is feared, they fol-
lowed the sheriff's posse and tried to
effect Badgers eschpe. As the reserva-
ton is fifty miles FROM telegraph SER

gers delivery to isheriff can be had

The junior-senior reception at the
central high school last evening was
an elaborate affair. Perhaps no occa-
sion during the school year is so much
locked forward to and planned for as
this annual reception. The committee
having the arrangements in charge.
consisting Of Lee Kellogg, Edith Dab
ney, Bryon Dorr, Lorenza De Cou,
Phoeba Nicholas and M. Rood, spared
neither pains nor money to make the
reception Of '97 outshine all previous
efforts, and that they succeeded was
the unanimous verdict Of all those at
tending. This is the first reception to
be held in the high school building
Preceding the reception, a brief ad-
dress Of welcome was delivered by
Herman Johnson, president Of the
Junior class, which was responded to
by George Whitney, president Of the
senior class. President Zimmerman. of
the school board, made a few remarks.
speaking happily Of the felicity of the
evening.
The class play was then given. ga
Proposal Under Difficulties by John
Kendrick Bangs. The leading part of
Robert Yardley was taken by Bryon
Dorr; the other parts were taken by
Mason Case, Florence Ely and Phoebe
Nicholas. About two hundred attend
ed the reception. There were no out
two classes and a number Of the
alumni, who came in during the course
Of the evening as spectators The
large assembly hall was decorated with
streamers of orange and black, the
junior colors, while the upper halls
were adorned with oak leaves and
black streamers, standing for the
senior class. The lower hall was en-
bellished with red and black, the.schooI
Colors. Chinese lanterns were hung in
the halls, while the electric lights were
subdued with colored shades, giving a
most unique and fantastic effect. At
the close of the class play, refresh
ments VIZ served on the lower floor.
Misses Margaret Routh Eva Halder-
man, Alice Woodman and Ethel Hall
presided and were assisted by a num-
Der Of the teachers.
Dancing began at 10 o'clock and a
programme Of twelve numbers was
dancied through, to the music of the
st: Anthony Hill orchestra
- line dancers gave the assembly hall a
brilliant appearance, and with the large
American flags which hung from all
sides and the stage In the background,
the colored lights gave delightful ef-
feet. When the last number on the
programme was danced and the last
adieu said, the junior-senior reception
of '97 went down into the school history
as the most brilliant class reception
ever given.

SUICIDE CLAIMS.
WoOdmen VIII Pay Them After
Three Years of Membershfn

DUBUQUE, TO-, June 4.-The morn
ing session Of the Modern Woodmen
was devoted to the consideration of
the laws of the order. The most i'm
portant action was the decision to pay
suicide claims If death does not occur
earlier than three years after the date
of the certificate. 1t was ordered
that no action be taken toward the
removal of the headquarters earlier
than June 80; also that a special meet
ing may be called at any time at the
request of the executive council. This
Is understood to mean that some legal
trouble is expected from Fulton peo-
pie on the removal of the headquarters.
The head camp refused to appropriate
$4,000 for Woodmen building at the
Omaha exposition. The next head
camp was fixed for the first Tuesday
in June 1899, at Kansas City. The
committee reported in favor of COPY
righting the new ritual and omittine
tests that might result in injury to the
candidate. The afternoon was con-
sumed ia the conssidera ton Of the lazy
committee's report The Tec3mTHenda-
ton for county Conventions was re-
ferred back to the committee. The
consideration of laws was completed
at the night session.

URBANA TRAGEDY.
Mitchell Lynched, Four Citizens
Killed and Ten Injured.

URBANA, O.. June An the riot
here at 2:30 this morning four lives
were lost and ten citizens were wound
ed AT 7:30 a. m. Charles Mitchell
(colored), the cause Of all the trouble,
was taken from the Jail by infuriated
citizens and lynched. The two previ-
Gus nights and yesterday portended
the gravest danger, bat no such re-
suits were anticipated as those which
followed within the five hours from
2:30 to 1880 a. M. today. Including
Mitchell, there are five dead and ten
wounded. All ofslthe victims were in
nocent citizens, who were spectators
on the scene OF excitement, except
Mitchell. In addition to this list it is
feared that Mrs. Elisa Gaumer will not
recover, and several Of the injured are
in critical condition There is such
intense feeling against some of the Of
ficials that it will not be wiped out in
the present generation, and further
complications are apprehended in the
future. While the past two nights and
the past two days witnessed scenes Of
lawlessness and bloodshed, yet the feel
ing at no time has been as intense as
it is here tonight. The body of Mitchell
was exposed all day in rough coffin,
and it intensified the feeling among the
masses who witnessed it. The bodies
Of the citizens who were killed were
tenderly cared for, and their funerals
on Sunday will tend to keep alive the
bitter feeling. While the wounded are
being cared for at their homes, yet
several of them are. crippled for life
and will be living reminders Of the
trouble.
Gov. Bushnell arrived here tonight
to investigate the trouble, especially
the action of the troops While the
Urban company is overwhelmed with
local sentiment against their action,
they are also liable for abandoning
their post Of duty. Capt Leonard
withdrew the guards about a. M,
and the Springfield company took or
ders from the mayor instead of the
sheriff when they turned back from
the court house. Gov. Bushnell was
attending an encampment at Wooster
last night and was met by a delega-
ton from here on his return to Colum-
bus this afternoon. These citizens from
Urbana asked for protection by troops
or Sheriff McLain, against whose life
threats have been freely made during
the afternoon, and, if he was here to-
night, it is believed that there would
be trouble again. Sheriff McLain left
here at p. m. and arrived at SPRING
field at 3 p. M, en- route to Dayton,
He escaped by the back door of the
Jail and claims that dynamite was be-
ing prepared to blow him up.
In the excitement and bitterness that
prevails tonight it is almost impossi-
bic to get at the facts as to the re-
sponsibility for the loss Of life, but it
is generally claimed that Sheriff Nc
Lain ordered the troops to fire last
night 1t is believed there will be a
thorough investigation into the action
Of the mayor, as we'll as into the ac-
ton Of the sheriff and the militia Of
ficers.

Cabinet That There Had Been

WASHINGTON, June At is the
prevailing belief at the White house
that President Mckinley will nominate
the new minister to Madrid in the
course Of a week. Six names have been
under consideration, so it is stated
semi-officially. Three of them are be-
ieyed to be Gen. B. F. Tracy, of New
York; ex-senator John S. Henderson,
of Missouri and Congressman Hit, OF
Illinois. The last named, it is said!
has been rendered the post, but does
not desire it. Special Commissioners
Calhoun will reach Washington from
Havana next Monday or Tuesday It
is understood that x-Representative
Aldrich is to be appointed consui-gen-
eral at Havana, and that his appoints

closed up the present work up which
he has been engaged, and the way IS
now open for the appointment of his
successor.

Of the Valencia, the Ward line steam%
er which was compelled to heave to-
by shot fired across her bows from al
Spanish cruiser, as she was coming out
Of the port of Guantanamo, was briefly
discussed. The incident occurred May

the act of the Spanish vessel could not
be regarded as an offense against the
United States as the Valencia was
showing no colors, and the shot was
simply to compel her to show her f1ag4
Capt. w. D. Smith, of the Cuban
army, spent considerable time again
today with the senate committee ON
foreign relations. In a brief interview
with a representative of the Associa4
ted Press he said:
''The Cuban army is now in better
condition to resist the Spaniards and
to maintain the fight for independence
than it has been since the beginning
Of the war. Gen. Gomez has we'll
disciplined army Of about 10000 men,
who are determined to hold out until
their efforts shall be crowned with
victory. Our soldiers are rapidly pro@
curing arms and every day serves to-
put them on a better footing in this
respect. Our troops enjoy a vast adj
vantage over the Spaniards, in that
they are not injuriously affected bE
the climate Furthermore, we have no
difficulty in feeding our troops. In the
portion of the country in which the
Cuban troops are in control the pro-
visions are protected. and we draw our
supplies from this source.z Our commis{
sariat is therefore regularly renewedS
and our supplies are received in quan4
titles quite suff1eient to meet all: onfs
wants"
In reply to question, Capt Smith
said: ''All talk about autonomy and
of Spanish reforms for Cuba is so much
breath wasted. There is not man in
the Cuban army who will agree to ac~
cept anything short of absolute inde-
pendence."

SEVENTH DAY OR FIRST DAY.
Does the Change of the Sabbath Vio-
late Gods Commando


To the Editor of the Globe
You have published a good deal of late
about the Seventh Day Adyentists.
viii you kindly give space to the following
query?
Since the observance of the Christian Sab
bath is designed to honor the Lord Jesus
Christ as divine. and since all honoring of the
Son is equally an honoring of the Father also
does the substitution of the first day for the
seventh, as the day for rest and worship
cast any dishonor upon the seventh day
Sabbath, or upon God, it's author? Plainly
not, as our Savior's own words are, t'He that
honoreth not the Son honoreth not the Father
who hath sent Him. and the inference is
inevitable that he that honoreth the Son
honoreth the Father who hath sent Him.
What, then, is the need or the sense of all
this contention about returning to the observ-
ance of the seventh day Sabbath. since
neither it nor its author is dishonored in the
least by its displacement and by the substi-
tuition Of the Christian Sabbath in place of it?
On the other hand the observance of the
first day is so identified with the divine king
ship and the kingdom of Christ that to OPP
pose it aTG contend for the seventh is to op-
pose the progress of Christ's kingdom
