MORE PARD0NS WANTED.
Another Batch of Applications
Filled With the Cover

Another batch Of applications for
pardons was received Yesterday by
GOV. Clough, president of the state
board Of pardons -.
Most of them were from convicts
serving three and five-year sentences
for forgery. ~ st
One application was from three Belle
zane men, John Cochran, John
Welsh and Thomas Duffy, who were
convicted for selling liquor Illegally.
Ihey were fined $50 and thirty DAYS
each A stay was granted in the pro-
ceed1ngs by their attorney, F. C. Irwin.
and they were released until after the
board should have another meeting and
pass upon their applications.
Attorney Irwin suggested to the board
that a special meeting be called, but it
is not probable that the board will
comply with the request. =
The case of these three Imen is quite
novel, from the fact that the court
granted stay in the proceedings, be-
cause the board could not consider
their applications Immediately, and. if
they waited until the next meeting of
the board, they would have served
their sentence.

Special term day in the district court
seems to be the favorite day for local
attorneys to indulge in bel1igerent ex-
hibitonS at the court house.
Yesterday, in Judge Bunn's court
room, Immediately after Judge Bum
had adjourned special term, an alter
cation ensued between Attorneys
Charles Butts and Charles p. Brown.
No blows were struck, but Mr.. Brown
drew gun on Mr.. Butts, this afford
ing some excitement for the spectators.
Mr. Browns gun is an old-fashioned
Remington pistol which carries five 80
! caliber cartridges in it's stationary
chamber.
Had Mr.. Butts struck Mr.. Brown,
who is a little and an elderly man, Mr..
Brown would have shot at Mr.. Butts.
And MIR. Brown afterwards admitted
that While his pistol is old-fashioned.
! 1t could do effective execution at short
| range.
The quarrel between the attorneys
grew out of a proceeding to compel
Brown, as receiver of the property of
Butts & Jacques, the law firm dis
solved some time ago, to pay over GER
tain moneys to Butts The latter in
sisted that Brown be required to pay
over $95, but Brown disputed the claim
and declared that some $77 was all that
he was bound to pay.
During the argument before Judge
Bum, Mr.. Butts declared that Brown
had been evading the payment of the
money due, and that he had locked
himself In his office to avoid the visits
of Butts and his man.
Mr.. Brown stamped that statement
as a lie.
Judge Bum put stop to personals
ties at once, and soon left the court
room, after indicating that he would
CT on, nd -
over the SIT next Wednesday forenoon.
Then the trouble began.
Mr.. Butts had just made a brief
statement of the case to a newspaper
reporter, when Mr.. Brown approached
with the remark:

department Thinks the Law Is
Good One.
Superintendent of Public instruction
w. w. Pendergast is having blanks
printed which he will SEND out shortly
to all county Suparin senlents Of rural
school districts to enable them to take
| advantage of the law passed by the
last legislature, granting them state AID
when they came up to a certain stand
ard provided for in the law.
To secure this aid the county super
| intendents have to sign the blanks filled
| out by the district school districts, and
| forward them to the state superin-
| tendent.
Mr.. Pendergast says that this law
promises to be one Of the most popular
| educational enactments ever accom-
plished in the West.
The law grants conditionally all
schools below the graded schools an aid
of $50 per year.
Already have the rural school teach
| ers in all parts of the state commenced
a systematic renovation of their
| schools. Maps and charts are being
| bought, and the school grounds being
| improved globes and other school APP
paratus purchased, in order to come up
10 the high standard laid down by the
/ last Legislature.
The law also provides that to be
eligible to the state aid the school must
be held for eight months in the year,
and the teacher holding the school shall
be possessed of a first grade teachers
certificate.
N Minnesota there are 1000 rural
schools. scattered through every county.
che appropriation made by the last
legislature is only $4,000, which would
admit of only 400 of the rural schools
receiving the state aid. Mr.. Fender
CAST thinks, however, that the number
who qualify under the act of 1897 will
greatly exceed the number who can be
taken care of under the appropriation
This difficulty will be elmated by
the selection of 400 of the rural schools
who are of the highest grade, and ask
the next legislature for an additional
appropriation for those who cannot be
taken care of under the $4,000 appro-
priation and any others who may quail
fly in the future.
By this additional school appropria-
ton the tax levy is not increased in the
least, but it is made possible by more
equal distribution of the school funds.
The law cannot fail to be conducive
of much good, the state superintendent
thinks.
Graded schools and high schools are
not eligible to this state aid from the
fact that they receive outside aid. The
law provides that all schools who do
not receive state aid shall receive this
$50.
The law distinctly recognizes these
schools as first grade rural schools, and
it is productive of a healthy COMPETE
ton among the country teachers.
The state superintendent is daily in
receipt of letters from county superin-
tendents and also visits in person, all
of which attest to the desirability of
the law and, the improvement it is
making in the rural schools of Minne-
sofa.
Mr.. Pendergast thinks the schools in
the outlying districts of Minnesota far
superior to those of any other state
in similar locality.

Lift LEASES M'VICKERS.
Will Operate 1t in Connection With
st. Paul, minneapolis and Mill
Vaukee Houses.

Negotiations were concluded yester-
day and a lease executed by which
Manager Jacob Lift becomes the sole
lessee for a long period of years of
McVicker's theater, in Chicago The
present McVickers theater was built
upon the site of the old one, which was
destroyed by fire several years ago. It's
original cost is said to have been near
ly $1,0OO00O.
Mr.. Lift states that he will operate
the house in connection with his other
theaters in Minneapolis, ST Paul and
Milwaukee, and with the great advan-
tage of this Chicago connection will
be able to secure a stronger list of
bookings than ever for all his houses
Up to short time ago Lolita and
Joseph Jefferson were stockholders
with Mrs. McVicker in the theater
Their stock was recently taken by Mrs,
McVicker, placing her in complete con-
troll of the building and leading to the
leasing of the house to Mr.. Lit. The
retirement of Mrs. j. H. McVicker and
also of Mrs. R. M. Hooley marks the
departure from the theatrical business
in Chicago of the wives of the great
est managers Chicago ever had.

mirrors that will tell them very promptly
whether their beauty is fading A wom-
ans beauty fades very rapidly if she is
troubled with some arrangement of the
distinctly feminine organism. Ignorance
or carelessness in this respect frequently
causes great suffering and irregularity in
after life. Little irregularities and weak
nesses in girlhood should be looked upon
promptly and properly treated at once.
Mothers cannot be too conscientious in
this respect, and cannot throw aside the
prudery that is so prevalent upon this point
too soon. Every young woman should
know something about her own physical
makeup, and the Importance to her future
of her local as we'll as general health. A
woman who suffers from weaknesses pc
culiar to her sex will rapidly lose her
beauty, her general health, her amiability
and her usefulness and capability as a wife

The subject of the discussion was, What
Shall the Pupils of the Public Schools

w. w. Pendergast was the speaker. He
thought that great care should be taken in
the selection of school libraries. Children
should never be forced to read works which
were dlstasteful to them. Due care should
be used, however, by parents educating their
children TO cultivate a taste for wholesome
literature.
Remarks were also made by A. Irwin and
