MYSTERIOUS SALOON ROBBERY
Nearly Three Hundred Dollars Sc
cured by the Thieves.

The robbery of $296 from the saloon Of
John Sweeney. Eighteenth and E Streets
northwest, was reported to the police
late last night. So far none of the miss
ing money has been recovered, nor has
any arrest been made. Detective Muller
and Sergeant Williams, the latter of No
station, are making an investigation. A
key of some sort was used by the thief
to gain an entrance TO the saloon. One or
more persons are under suspicion.
Yesterday afternoon Mr.. Sweeney and
his wife left the house to go to the home
OF an aunt of the former, of whose death
they had learned earlier during the day.
Mr.. Sweeney had arranged with his bar
tender, a man named Cheek, who lives
on Eleventh Street southwest, to meet
him and return home together. Cheek
did not keep the engg cement. After wait

u. h. Morgan, attorney for the North
western Telephone company appeared be-
lore the joint delegation, and argued
against the amendment proposed by SEN
ator Baldwin. He made 1t clear that the
company doesn't mant any legislation
which will interfere in the action pending
between the city of Minneapolis and the
company, relating to rights on that city,

objection to a new bill, which would in
no sense be re-enactments or amend
ment to section 2461 of the old law. the
law upon which the famous Lochren con-
struction is put. 4
The new bill will simply provide that
individuals may erect along the roads and
highways or the state telegraph and tele-
phone poles, and string wires from them.
A strange apathy on the part of Hen
nepln members was manifest and the civ
OF Minneapolis is left practically at the

the attention of the delegation to this
1act but no provision for the protection

Mr.. HURD QUOTES POETRY
RAMSEY COUNTY MEMBER CALLS
HALvORSON'S CIGARETTE BILL
FOOL LEGISLATION
WOULD BE sUMPTUARY LAW
representative Berg Asks That an
Amendment Prohibiting the
Use of Chewing Gum
BE Added.

"In the language of the poet, I think
this is damn fool legislation" exclaimed
Rukard Hurd yesterday, when the house
had under consideration the bill of SEN
ator Halvorson which prohibits the use
and sale of cigarettes
The statement by Representative
Phillips, that no man with brains would
use cigarettes, provoked this utterance
by Mr.. Hurd, who declared that he was
an habitual user of the article. After
a great deal of such wrangling the bill
was recommended for passage on close
vote.
The measure is rather stringent in it's
provisions, which not only prohibit the
use of cigarettes by minors, but make
adults subject to the same regulation.
1t also makes it unlawful for anyone
to sell, import, manufacture, buy or give
free of charge one of the articles.
Mr.. Dobbin of Hennepin was one of
those who strongly protested against the
measure. He regarded it's application to
adults entirely too radical and said:
1--WE don't want any Mrs. Nation laws
to be enacted by this legislature"
Mr.. Roberts favored the bill just as it
stood
The members INDUCED in considerable
levity by proposing various sorts of
amendments to the bill. Mr.. Berg sent
up an amendment to include within the
provisions of the measure the use OF
chewing gum, saying that it was a more
pernicious habit than the use of tobacco
Mr.. Hickey wanted it amended so as to
apply to no member of the present legis-
lature or any to be hereafter elected S
d. Peterson proposed a change which
would make the bill effective April l. 1891.
All the amendments were voted down.
A fine of from $50 to $500 is prescribed
as the penalty in the bill
