More casxouary Than Crane.

There is in New York one Magistrate
Crane who seems to make it his business
to court notoriety by foolish and iIl-con-
sidered remarks. His latest ebuIlition is
on the subject of the hours which women
should keep. He says that he does not be
lieve that any respectable woman would be
out in cab at two o'clock in the morning.
BY such statement as this he does not
further the cause CT morality one inch. He
simply makes it a little harder for a re-
spectacle woman who is obliged to be
out at night. 1t is safe to say that such
persons, a rule, are not in cabs or on the
ridewalk in the small hours of the morning
unless it is necessary for them to be there.
They may be returning from some social
function. they may be newspaper women,
or nurses, or stenographers; they may be
in d dozen different emPleyments which
necessitate their keeping late hours. What
they want, after they are through with
their work, is to get home as quickly and
easily as possible, and obtain some sleep.
Tney want TO be free from annoyance on
the way. II they are compelled to hurry
through the streets, on the lookout for pos
sible insult from men who ought to know
better, they reach home with nerves up
set and a feeling of bitterness toward the
universe in general which is not conducive
to quiet slumber. There Is reason In

man, woman, or child, should not walk

JAYNE STILL MISSING.
No Word From the Young Minneap-
oils Attorney as Yet.

30 far as can be learned there has been
no word received in Minneapolis from
Traford N. Jayne, the attorney who dis
appeared week ago last Friday night,
ostensibly on trip to Chicago. All day
yesterday his partner, Arthur L. He'll
well, pored over the books, and, while lie
was not inclined to be communicative, he
asserted that the reports circulated in
some quarters to the effect that the short
age, II there was one, would amount to
$4,000 or more, were without foundation.
The more ! examine the books" said
Mr.. Helliwell, "the smaller the apparent
shortage becomes, and l should not be
surprised to find the accounts correct
The published reports In many cases are
far from the truth"
Beyond this Mr.. Helliwell declined to
unburden himself. He admitted he had
received no word from Mr.. Jayne and
did not know when the gentleman would
appear, If at all.
People interested in the different firms
and estates of which Mr.. Jayne was
trustee had little to say. Some expressed
their opinion that he was a poor bust
ness man In some ways, and that any
shortage that might be found would be
due to bad bookkeeping or a mixing of the
accounts of the different funds
Mr.. Jayne's unexplained absence has
proved a shock TO his many friends par
ticularly in Fowler Methodist church cir
cles, where he was president of the Y
p. s. c. E. society of the church and
looked upon as an exemplary young man.
The story that he has carried out his
implied threat to commit suicide is
secuted. Few believe he was desperate

ence had brought small silk flags with
them. During the speech making the
name of Dewey was always the signal

was unbounded.
w. e Hale presided and introduced the
speakers. After explaining the object of
the meeting Mayor James Gray, who
was first on the list, said:
I'VE have met here today as American
citizens There is nothing In the call for
this meeting that need divide us, but
much that should join our voices in a
song of a reunited and glorified republic.
For we all come together not to settle
mooted policies that belong to the future
and to the realm of craftsmanship, but
to send a message of good cheer to our
soldiers Across continents and under
seas that message must go telling the
members of the Thirteenth Minnesota in
words what they already know in their
hearts that Minneapolis applauds their
gallantry and bows in reverence before
their self-sacrifice at the call of coun-
try. Let that message go; let 1T be us
full as the gratitude and pride of this
great city of the Northwest. Too long
has 1t been neglected.; with too easy a
conscience has Minneapolis left to indi-
vidual tongues the praise of her soldiers.
Well have the interests of the Thirteenth
been guarded In private letters, in pub
lie correspondence and in the unfagging
interest of the chief executive of the
state. Greetings have been sent by all
of us who have friends or neighbors in
the ranks. but shall the united voice of
Minneapolis remain silent? Shall the
duty of all be delegated to the few?

a record of travel, battle and patriotism

painfully injured yesterday in an alter
cation with Louis Williams, a tenant on a.
farm owned by his mother on the Rock

The extent Of Farrlngton's Injuries
could not be ascertained last night. and
only meager reports of the affair were
obtainable. Edward harrington, brother
of the injured man, drove to the CITY and
secured physician, hardly waiting him
self to ascertain how serious were the
nature of his brothers injuries, before
starting for q doctor.
After the shooting Williams escaped.
and when last seen was running bare
headed across the fields. Neighboring
farmers were notified and started
search for the man, but at last reports
had not captured him. Williams is a.
German. short in stature, heavily built
and with a sandy mustache. He is a.
bachelor, and according to other farmers
has rented the harrington place for two
or three years, and 1t is claimed that
there has been trouble over the improve

casions.
