lectured last Monday night on 'Time
and Tide" to full house at the Ly-
ceum Theater. He is one of the most
popular lecturers Of the day in spite
of his Irish brogue, which is almost

!, Reuben G. Pickett, found guilty of
numbering his wife on Sept. 20, 1900,
was sentenced by Judge Elliott last
Tuesday to serve twelve years at hard
labor in the Saltwater penitentiary.
If Pickett killed his wife he ought
to be hanged; if innocent he ought to
be discharged. The jury evidently
rendered compromise verdict. The
prisoner is entitled to new trial.
Congressman Fletcher has intro
-duced bill in the House of Represent
atives asking an appropriation Of
$25O,OOO for improvements for the
Minneapolis post Office. He has not
asked enough, but very likely he will
obtain nothing if he inficts speech
on the assembly. Loren as an orator
stands without peer in the halls of
Congress. An old woman could do
better.
Supt. Mcdonald of the workhouse
assumed the responsibility Of permit
ting Fred. Briggs of nickel-in-the-slot
fame to leave the Single Greek Hos
telry for half day to visit a dentist.
Because of doing so the Journal goes
into Mysteries, and Judge Elliott sum-
moned the superintendent into court,
though that legal luminary had moth
ing to do with the trial. 1t is much
ado about matter of trifing i'm
portance. Briggs went back after
fixing a tooth and feels happy as a
free boarder these cold days.
Much dissatisfaction is expressed by
prominent Democrats over the reading
of President Roosevelt's message in
the high schools of this city. 1t is
well to keep religion and politics out
of the public schools. Supt. Jordan
must not copy after what is done in
other cities if he desires to retain his
