~ 4lcipal court had plenty of
bus, SIS on hand Friday morning. The
first prisoner to be called up was Chas.
Page. a colored man who has been Civ
ing the authorities a good deal of
trouble for several days past. He is adj
dicted to liquor and is of very happy
disposition. Threats have not induced
him to leave the city, and last night he
was locked up on the charge of va
grancy and kept things lively during
the council meeting with his singing
and dancing, Judge Shissler sentenced
him to serve on the stone pile at hard
labor for five days. He Is the first VIC
tim since the stone pile was started. He
escaped this p. m.
John Harris, the states star witness
against Haggerty, fell from grace last
night by going on ''toot." He spent
his witness fees freely and was good
fellow with the boys, including those
who testified on the other side of the
case. He pleaded guilty to the charge
of disorderly conduct and was fined
1896 or twenty days in Jail. He paid.
VIM. Bowers pleaded guilty to the
charge of disorderly conduct and was
given an hour and half to leave the
city.
Augusta Lidke, feshy woman who
cannot talk English, and VIM. Mar
quette were arraigned on the charge of
disorderly conduct They were mixed
up in some trouble, so the police say
The Lidke woman pleaded not guilty,
but shortly afterwards changed her
mind and pleaded guilty. She was fined
$500 or twenty days in Jail, and said
that she could get the money from her
mother in Madelia
Marquette said that the row was only
between the women and he pleaded not
guilty and his trial was set for two
o'clock this afternoon. He subsequently
changed his plea and went to Jail for
thirty live days.
Robert Lundy, tall man with bow
legs, high water pants, a black eye and
several bruises on the right side of his
face and head from which the blood
oozed, was the last prisoner brought
up. He was charged with disorderly
conduct, pleaded guilty and was fined
S.65 or twenty days in Jail. Lundy
told the court that his home was in
Duluth, but that he had been working
at the cement works for month past.
He drew his pay last night, intending
to take the excursion train to Duluth
this morning. He started down town
with his satchel in the early evening,
looked upon the wine when it was red
and after that cannot remember any
thing that happened to him. He does
not know where his satchel or hat are,
and does not know whether some one
hit him or whether he fell down and
bruised his head. He said that he had
SIS, but could not remember whether
it was stolen from him or taken by the
policemen when he was arrested. He
went to Jail.

sing. The plaintiff sues to collect on
account, while Mr.. Hansing alleges the
payment by check of $493. The plain
tiff claims that it was instructed by
Mr.. Cleaves to apply the check to an
old account of the latter, while Mr..
Hansing holds that Mr. Cleaves had no
right to order such disposition of the
money. Mr. Chapman, of st. Paul.
secretary of the Ohio Coal Co., is in the
city as the plaintiffs witness. There
was but one witness on each side.

The Printers Burden.

Take up the printers burden,
You hardy sons of toll,
Who owe him on subscription,
For burning midnight oil;
Remember how he waited
When times were hard as rocks,
While Bryan talked free silver,
Jerry Simpson wore no socks.
Takeup the printers burden
He knows not selfish greed,
In every blessed issue
He works for things you need;
The towns prosperity he shows
Your farm land is the best
These things he tells the people
In north, south, east and west.
Take up the printers burden,
And pay the debt you owe,
And when your mortal remnant
Has left this world below,
Your friends can read your title
In mansions in the skies
The printer knows tbs charity
To whitewash all your lies.
Take up the printer burden,
And make things what they seem,
When oft in silent sleeping,
The people-in his dream,
Pay cash for every item,
Subscriptions in advance,
And he goes to church on Sunday
Without patches on his pants.
Take up the printers burden,
ALI who are in arrears,
His generations yet unborn
VIII bless you all the years;
Times now are getting better
Sinon MnKinlou xuon tho dow
And you ought to pay the printer,
'Caus the devil wants his pay.
