The Luverne Journal intimates
that Senator Miller has been at
tempting to make sufficient capital
out of the "Miller Bill' to carry
him into Congress, and that there
is no use of peanut politicians
trying to make people believe
they are setting up rights for
their interests. There is no
doubt but what McCleary sat up
nights too before he got into Con-
gress and has kept up his fooling
the people ever since. A short
time ago articles, worded exactly
the same and on the same subject
appeared in the dailes of the
Twin Cities. They eulogized the
great tinancier of Wall street for
his far sightedness. If this is
| not an attempt to fool the people
there lnever has been any such
thing. It puts us in mind OF

PET TABBY FEEDS
ON STUFFED BIRDS
ALMA E. KEITH'S CAT DOES
GREAT DAMAGE.
It Gains Access to a Show Window
and Destroys Several Hundred Dol
lars Worth of Headgear.

A Maltese cat last night wrought de-
struction among the hats in Alma Keiths
millinery establishment at sos Market
street. The cat is a pet of Mrs. Keith s,
and was never before known to be partial
to stuffed birds. At 10 o'clock last night
Mrs. Keith closed her establishment and
prepared to go home. Shortly after she
departed several citizens who were pass
in a show window, destroying the birds
hats. They vainly endeavored to chase
the feline away from the window, but it
continued it's work of destruction. At
midnight the cat had succeeded in ruin
ing at least dozen hats. Policeman Tom
Murphy. after rapping on the show win
dow with his club and failing to drive the
cat away, drew his revolver, intending to
shoot the mischievous pet. Just as he
raised his revolver to shoot he thought Of
the damage that would result from the
bullet. and he concluded after replacing
his pistol in his pocket, to summon Mrs.
Keith.
Another officer was hastily dispatched
to her house, and notified her of the de-
struction wrought by her cat. She quickly
repaired to the store, and was amazed on
looking into the show window to find a
number of expensive hats destroyed.
Stuffed birds, some with their heads gone
and others with their feathers missing,
were found scattered about the show Win
dow. The vicious cat was found in a
corner of the show window feasting on a
cockatoo. Mrs. Keith estimates her loss
through the viciousneSS of the cat at sew
eral hundred dollars.
