A STAR PLAY
WITHOUT A STAR
rHERE is no objection to a star play

THERE is no objection to a star play
when there is a star. But the Alcazar
1 possesses a stock company. The
whole success of innocent as a
Lamb" depends on Tobias Pikington.
Now, this same Tobias was a right mirth-
provoking man when he left the play
wrights hands, and it is pity that he
should be weakened through Mr.. Or
monde's treatment. On the other hand,
Eugene Ormonde is the man for a
straight part-the man of reserve, Of fine
touch-and II is a pity that he should be
cheapened by Mr. Pikington. There is a
social difference between them that they
can never settle.
The Alcazar people hold together brave
ly. and It's no for a merry war when they
stand as one man against criticism. But
pick one of them out and order him TO do
his fighting alone-it isn't fair. The COM
pany lacks star talent, although it has
a strong leading man.
OF course, people smile or chuckle or
giggle or squeal as the case may be. Jap
anese screen and speaking-tube misunder-
standings will always accomplish that
But it's a star play with the star left out

Again Denounced the "voice.v

The Building Trades Council at its
meeting last evening reafflrmed its decis-
ion regarding the Voice of Labor At
previous meeting the council denounced
the paper as one not worthy to be the
representative of laboring men, and re-
ouested all bodies connected with the
council to withdraw their patronage from
II and to cease TO recognize 1t in any
form. The action of last night was
brought about by an attempt of Union %
to have the council reopen the case for
tho introduction OF new evidence The
grievance of the council is that the man
agement of the paper is inimical to or
ganized labor.

tendency to stimulate violations OF
every city ordinance, and under and
in face of statements the yiolators
are and have perfect right to be-
lieve that they will have the sup
port of majority of our council. !"
The mayor then admits the coun-
ellis right to repeal, but contends
that so long as the ordinance is in
force, and there ''is violation of
it, it is the duty, not only as coun-
Gil but as body polite, and repre-
sentatives of the citizens of this
city to see that such law is enforced
while in effect, and violations of it
while in force and effect are promptly
prosecuted if it takes every penny
that is in the city treasury, and if
such law is unconstitutional or de-
fective, it is not the duty of the
common council to take upon itself
the judicial authority to so deter
mine before being passed upon by a
judicial authority, and if void, allow
it to be so adjuuicated.''
The Mayor then contends that
every citizen has a right to make
complaint against alleged violators,
and then says that it is for the judi
cial tribunal before whom such COM
plant is made to determine whether
or not security for costs of prosecu-
tions be given, land the common
council of Redwood Falls has no
power or authority on this earth to
direct anything to be done which
the manner of doing is within judi
cial discretion. If it has a right to
so direct it can impose upon the
court an order to make a fine in case
of a certain person s conviction. a
specified amount, or that such per-
son shall be imprisoned for a cer-
tain number of days and the manner
in which he shall be imprisoned. If
such state of affairs exist why not
do away with the municipal court
and allow all violators of the law to
be tried before the council.

school, who are now studying civil

ago. The Indictment, however, is
still here.
Among the last things reported
was report to the effect that the
jury had visited the county Jail, and
had found it in excellent con dition-
clean, well-kept, and the prisoners
having plenty of wholesome foo6.
The jury gave Sheriff Pease partic-
ular credit for his management of
the institution.
The first Indictment in was
against Arthur Simmons, charging
him with grand larceny in the sec
ond degree, in connection with hav-
ling touched one Frank Regal on the
night of July I'd on the North Red
wood hill. Mr.. Simmons had re-
tanned Mr. Stuart as his attorney,
but on Friday morning he entered
a plea of guilty, and sentence was
postponed for couple of days, with
the understanding that it would be
a reformatory sentence. or three
months in the county Jail.
Roy McKenney was indicted for
grand larceny in the second degree
for having stolen $50 from the purse
of Alex. Clark a couple of weeks
ago. He plead guilty, and after
stating that he had once been ar
rested for the larceny of basket
of eggs, that his age was II
that he had never learned
trade, he was sentenced to the St.
Cloud reformatory.
The third Indictment reported
was against Matthew Opple, charg-
ing him with assault in the second
degree, for having pulled gun on
VIM A. Marvin, on Oct. 4. 1899.
Opple did not want an attorney, and
on Saturday morning entered a
plea of guilty. Sentence was post
poned.
Lester Rollins was arrested for
carnally knowing and abusing a
female child under Ii years old, viz;
Matilda NJ. Harris, at Sanborn,
June 9th. He plead not guilty, and
will stand trial, with George T.
Olsen of Springfield and Somerville
& Olsen of Sleepy Eye as his attor-
neys. Lester is out on bail.
Arthur Simmons was brought
into court yesterday morning and
after giving his age as 21, and stat
ing that he was laborer, was SEN
fenced to the St. Cloud reformatory.
which Judge Webber thought was
better than jail sentence, as he
would learn some trade, and when
released on parole would be given
employment away from his present
associates.
Matthew Opple was also SEN
fenced. He gave his age as 33
years, and his profession just before
the crime as tending a separator,
although he had been a butcher for
16 years previous. When asked
whether he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him he replied that Marvin
was always carrying a gun, and
while they were disputing over the
account, he thought he saw Mar
vim S hand 60 back to his pocket,
and it was then that he pulled his
revolver. Judge Webber advised
him to throw his gun away-that he
!. knew no one who got out of trouble by
carrying one, while many had got
into trouble. He then sentenced
Opple to eight months in Saltwater,
sentence made mild by reason of
Opple pleading guilty.

in the borough Jail, escaped from "dur-

The reason "Hawk" was so anxious to
leave Jail before the forty-eight hours
were up was because he knew that Con-
