HEMORRHAGE IN HIS HEAD
CHARLES LARSON BADLY HURT IN
A FIGHT.

Charles Larson, living at 1891 Payne
avenue, is In a critical condition at
bethesda hospital, where he has re-
manned unconscious hSince Monday after
noon. Larson is suffering from hem
orrhage of the brain, believed to have
been caused by a blow on the head It
IS thought he sustained the injury in a
| tight at Maryland street and Payne ave-
nue. early Sunday morning.
An element Of mystery surrounds the
case. and the police are investigating the
who assaulted Larson
1t IS evident larson was not attacked
LOT the purpose of robbery, as in telling
CT the occurrence before lapsing into
unconsciouSness he made no reference to
having been robbed He told of having
hGht In which two, men assaulted him,
that Larson was seriously hurt Since
the serious nature of the case developed
1t mas been impossible to learn anythI
additional from Larson, and the ponce
have made little Roadway in the inYeSt1-
CATION.
Larson is a laborer and has been in
the city several months: He was about
the Payne avenue district Saturday
night and returned home about : O'Clock
Sunday morning. After sleeping until
late in the morning he was UP and about
the avenue again all day Sunday. 10
some of his friends he told of having
been in a fight while on the way home
shortly before L o'clock Sunday morning,
claiming two men and strangers had at
injury. Later in the day Larson became
i'll, and DR.. Whitney was summoned.
During the night Larson became uncon-
scicus and Monday he was taken to the
hospital, where he has since remained IN
a comatose condition.
The physicians at the hospital say
Larson Is suffering from a hemorrhage
of the brain, and that his condition is
critical. A peculiar feature Of the case
IS that there are no bruises or abrasions
| about Jsarson's head such as would midi
cate heavy blow. His left eye Is black
ened and swollen, however, and it is pos
sible that the serious injury may have
been caused by a blow struck on this
part of the face.
SO far as the police have gotten in the
| investigation they claim Larson had been
| on an extended spree. They say he was
drinking about Payne avenue saloons
| several days, and declare there was no
attempt to rob Larson. The authorities
say the fact that there are no bruises
about Larson's head indicates that the
ruptured blood vessel may have come
about by natural causes. claiming that
| the nature of the bTuiSe about Larson s
eye does not appear to have been caused
! by a severe blow.

which looks to the expenditure of the
public funds for the purchase of prop
erty for a site as long as the needed site
is already owned by them. The city will
in any event have to bear the bulk of
the cost of the undertaking, and it is
desirable that as little addition as pos
sible shall be made to the existing city
Indebtedness. The new city administra-
ton should insist on this view as strenu-
ously as may be- The echoes of the dis
honest cutlery about municipal indebted
ness which prevailed during the recent
campaign have hardly died away. If
this Indebtedness has to be assumed it
is rie"4 that it shall be reduced to
minimum by those who will be held re-
sponsible later by the people for its ex-
tent.

year. The imported linens bring the
high prices they command In our mar
kets because they are manufactured
from flax grown for fiber and not for
seed, and when the American farmer
undertakes to grow flax for fiber only
there will be little difficulty in manu-
featuring it unto as fine linen as most
of that imported. But the linen industry,
from the preparation of the soil and the
sowing Of the seed to the weaving and
finishing OF the cloth, is necessarily a
slow process, and would try the patience
of the hustling American who engaged
in 1t. The process can only be fastened
at the expense of quality in the fiber,
and for the finest linen yarns haste
would be disastrous.
Flax fiber suitable for manufacturing
into liner can, of course, be grown in
the United States. where every kind of
climate and soil is to be found; and it
should prove a profitable enterprise for
the person that engages in 1t provided he
is master OF the business. But the finest
linen is made from fax grown under pc
culiar conditions of soil and climate and
subjected to certain long drawn out pro-
cesses, and could not be produced from
fax grown in localities where the neces-
sary conditions do not exist. The fax
straw is pulled before it is ripe. not cut,
and the 'retting" can only be done sue
cessfully where a plentiful supply of the
softest water is obtainabIe. Chemical
substitutes for the slow, natural pro-
cess can hasten the ''retting, but they
also spoil the fiber, and the fiber of ripe
flax straw would be valueless for linen
making. for it would be too harsh and
brittle
On the Western prairies where most OF
the fax is grown for seed the water is
strongly alkaline and unsuitable for
''retting." Water impregnated with lime
is Objectionable also. In many districts
where the water is suitable the soil IS
not rich enough to produce long fiber of
fine texture. So that it will be seen that
this linen industry of which the Tribune
speaks SO glibly is not to be undertaken
rashly but must be approached cautious
ly, and can only be carried to success by
a thoroughly experienced person.
In the meantime the Western farmer
will continue to grow fax for seed be-
cause it is more profitable at present
than attempting to grow fax for fiber.

article of diet for his cattle.

NO REMOVALS THIS YEAR
SCHOOL COMMITTEE ADOPTS THE
LIST OF TEACHERS.

Any st. Paul school teachers who may
have had misgivings regarding their APP
pointment may put aside their fears and
go on their summer vacation at the ED
of next week with assurance of posi-
ton for another year, although a half
dozen principals will never know how
near they came being decapitated. In
fact it was only after long session that
the board decided to postpone the prom
ised wedding out for another year.
The committee on schools. which con-
sists of the entire board, without excep-
ton. decided to reappoint all the Cd teach
ers. There are a number Of places to fill,
caused by designations, but the commit
tee on schools decided to recommend no
removals. The principals refer. ed ore
said to be incompetent.
1t required a good part of the afternoon
to prepare the list of teachers that will
be submitted to the board today
The board of school inspectors has prac-
ticaIly found a solution to the SupeIin-
tendency question, and unless the unex-
pected happens Supt. Smith will be ask
ed to continue as superintendent of the
St. Paul schools for another year. In the
meantime the board will look around and
endeavor to find a man that will in every
way fill the requirements of the office.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 6, 1900.
THE NEW JAIL,

At last steps have been taken which
give reasonable assurance that the city
of st. Paul will no longer be made to
bear the discredit attaching to it's long
continued and altogether shocking lack
Of provision for the temporary care of
prisoners. The existing county jail has
been condemned alike by the building
Inspector and by public opinion, and it's
removal or at least its immediate disuse
has been imperatively demanded. The
action of the county commissioners in ap-
pointing a committee to consider the
question of a site makes 1t reasonably
certain that our semi barbarous situa-
ton in this regard is about to come to a
close.
The question of a suitable site for the
new county Jail ought not to be a diff
icult one. 1t is true that a similar move
ment some years ago failed largely
through the spirit of manipulation which
was shown on the part of those who
were or thought they were personally, as
well as officially, interested in the choice
of a site. There is not the same specula-
tive spirit prevalent today in real estate
or other directions as existed then, and
no doubt we will on this occasion be
saved the undesirable spectacle of in
dividuals moving heaven and earth with
view to getting given piece of prop
erty sold to the county for jail purposes
at figures which do not represent even
the most elementary regard for the rights
of the taxpayers in the transaction.
The present site of the county 1aiI Is
all right. There can be constructed there
separate building or an addition to the
present city and county building which
will answer all the purposes thus far con-
sidered in connection with such struc-
ture. The G 10 be has urged this action
in season and out for the past two years
or over. 1t sees the realization of its
wishes within reasonable distance; and
It is unwilling that anything shall be
done or avoided which will In any way
embarrass the free and disinterested CON
sideration of the question of the site
for the new jail
The public will not sustain any action

TEACHERS RAILROAD FARE.
Likely That Those Going East VIII
Have to Pay Full Rates.

1t is more than likely that the school
teachers who go East this year will have
to pay full rates. The situation between
the Chicago lines and the 500 is I'M
changed, and the opinion exists that,
considering the difficulty in coming to an
agreement. the matter will be allowed to
fall through It is learned that the 500
recently made an effort to secure a suftt-
Gent amount of business to justify the
publication of special rates and failed,
For this reason, and in view of the fact
that the business resulting from the an
nual teachers rates is so split up that
no one road realizes much from them.
representatives of the roads interested
are beginning to express the opinion
that no rates will be made. Positive as
surance was received from one of the
Chicago lines yesterday that no rates
would be made via that route unless the
situation was such as to force action.
The lines which are waiting for the 500,
so a passenger official conversant with
the situation states, will be disappointed,
since that road has convinced itself that
the business is not of sufficient value to
make an effort to secure 1t profitable.
