THE WEATHER AND CRIME.

Several learned articles have been con-
tributed to the magazines in the past
which have sought to confirm the theory
that cold weather has great influence in
the direction of promoting crime. 1t is
true that deeds coming under the general
head Of crime are more in evidence dur
ing cold weather, and, in reasoning from
effect to cause, 1t is natural to charge
the epidemic to physical discomfort and
want caused by the cold. Hence it is ar
gued that so far as the weather can ex-
ert influence, the winter months are the
worst of the year
But the crimes Of winter are generally
offenses against property. This is adj
mitted. Has anyone stopped to investi-
gate and classify by season crimes
against the person? 1t is doubtful if there
are during winter more cases of assault,
murder and attempted murder than are
in evidence during the heated term. To
one who keeps track of the news day by
day 1t would seem that the summer
months witness many more instances of
personal violence than are noted in all
the rest of the year. The events Of
this summer only tend to confirm that
impression.
There must be something in heat that
unbalances the physically and mentally
unstable Super-heated blood throws
them out of gear, clouds their moral Wis
ion and destroys their self restraint, or
makes them oblivious to consequences.
This is the lesson that has been taught
so far this summer, at any rate, and 1t
is safe to say that no such epidemic of
bloody crime, recently in evidence in all
parts of the country, has occurred in
the dead Of winter

most successful in increasing the attend

A special feature is announced for to-

connection that the management felt 1t
wise to arrange for a special wire, d.

orator will be in attendance. and the full
details of the great fistic duel In New

THE CITY AND THE BATHS.

OF all the popular projects undertaken
during the lifetime of the city there is
none which has received or has had a bet
ter title to support and sustainment than
that inaugurated by DR.. Justus Ohage-
The st. Pau public baths have become
already leading feature of the city's life.
The people of every grade and calling
have found them one Of the most pleasant,
as well as one of the most beneficial,
resorts in the city. The popular accept
ance extended to them has more than
sustained the highest expectations. The
experience of the past month or two
shows that the masses have appreciated
in the highest degree the efforts made In
their behalf in the foundation of the
baths.
It Is a noteworthy circumstance that
not cent Of public money has yet been
devoted to their establishment or sup
port. They came largely, If not entirely,
through the public-spirited labors of one
man, aided by a few who thoroughly I'M
derstood the great public service which
their establishment involved. The debt
incurred is really in the nature of public
obligation, and should be discharged at
the earliest possible day, if only to GER
ufy to the esteem In which the founder
Of the baths is held for the work he has
done. They are now public property. The
experience of all who have visited them
DURING the e
enables them to understand how made
quate they are to the needs of the peo-
pie. Even at this early stage In their
existence, and with all the admirable
facilities which they present made "a
available as possible, 1t has not been
practicable to accommodate, as they
should be accommodated, all who have
resorted to them.
Whatever Is actually needed for the
proper extension of the baths should ba
provided gratefully and promptly. 9th
er cities are able to maintain
public baths OF the same char
acter only at considerable expense
to the local treasury. There is
nothing of that kind In existence here
The baths are substantially self-sustain-
ing. even after the extension of them
has been effected.
Aside from the public library there ia
no other public institution which is nat
ronized as generally by the masses as the
public baths. Such being the case, thew
are entitled to public and private pat
ronage alike. There are yet several weeks
OF the present season during which the
baths will be generally resorted to. Anv
moneys which may be appropriated can
be utilized before the season expires and
the lack Of complete conveniences thus
far experienced will no longer be felt.
The Gil b 9 sincerely hopes that the
result Of last nights reception and ~
the very gratifying results thus far shown
by Dr. Ohage to have been realized will,
be the appropriation by the city Of what
ever sum may be necessary to giving the
people the fullest benefits possible from
the benehcent undertaking represented
by the baths.

a public possession, of the scenes OF
those events. The meeting held within
a day or two in this city by the menl-
bers of the Fort Rldgely National Park
and Historical association was designed
to give broader scope to the public
recognition extended to the ineslinabls
services rendered by these devoted men
and women.

memory OF the occasion is the object Of
the gentlemen of that association.
While Minnesota is and will continue
ready to do all THAI is demanded to pre-
serve the record of human heroisr which
is LAID at Fort Ridgely, it is in every
way desirable that the nation Itself
should attest its Indebtedness to those
pioneers of American civilization In Min
pesota for their heroic sacrifices on the
occasion.
The men who are identified with this
movement offer a coed assurance that 1t
will be carried to successful issue. With
the cooperation Of Minnesota's congress
men and senators ard of all other Of its
citizens who may be said to represent
the sentiment and public spirit Of tina
state, the outcome Will be, we believe, In
the course OF time, the establishment
at Fort Ridgely of a national park which
will be visited for generations by those
who in the happiness and prosperity of
their lives will represent the fruits CT
the sufferings Of those who successfully
withstood the craft and cruelty OF Little
Crow and his followers.

CLUBBED ON HER WHEEL
MERRIAM PARK GIRL HAS AN EX-
CITING TIME IN MINNEAPOLIS.

Josephine Knutson. q domestic en-
ployed at 1887 Dayton avenue, Merriam
Park, was the victim of as dastard1y and
cowardly an assault yesterday afternoon
as has been perpetrated in a long time
Miss Knutson was riding her wheel
from her home IN Merriam Park and had
crossed the Lake street bridge but a
short distance when she noticed a man
on the bicycle path scratching the ground
in front of him with a club. He was
not very prepossessing looking fellow.
Miss Knutson quickened her pace.
When she drew near the man, he
stepped back a few steps, and as she
passed him struck her a vicious blow on
the back of the head with the club Tho
blow knocked her from her wheel, and
when she struck the ground she lost con-
seriousness When she recovered she
asked her assailant what he wanted
II want your money or I will kill YOU"
he replied.
Miss Knutson had poclketbook with
her containing something over a dollar,
and this she readily gave him.

barbarism which threatened to break

Minnesota and to annihilate the devoted
population which confronted 1t.

FOUND DEAD.
Mystery shrOuds the Ending of the
Lives of Two Brothers In Peru,
Ind.-FOul Play Suspected.

Peru, Ind, Nov. 26.-The decom-
posed bodies Of Jerry and Patrick Hol-
Land, brothers, aged GO and So years,
respectively, were found in their house
Sunday. No marks of violence were
evident, and, as the men, when last
seen, eight or ten days ago, were
drinking, it is believed they were
drugged, the poison taking effect soon
after they reached their home. The
brothers were noted for their affection
for each other, and their appearance
and actions were so nearly exactly
alike that they were generally known
as ''the two Dromios." They were light
hearted and cheerful in disposition,
and the theory Of suicide is not enter
tanned. Jerry possessed considerable
property, while Patrick was compare
lively poor. An investigation, to be
made by the coroner, is expected to
shed some light upon the mystery.
