.TAMALE IN DANGER
ST. Paul Aldermen Pass Ordinance
"Agin'' the Sandwich Wagon.
CHURCH FAIR LICENSE REFORM /,
Wave of Reform Inaugurnted by
Z Alderman Huber Who Keeps
. - l.. a Saloon.

The morals of ST.. Paul seem to have
been taken in hand BY. the Retail Liquor
Dealers association. which protested re-
Gently against the proposel opening of
German village under md the auspices Of
business men constituting the general
coliseum committee. Beer would be sold
at the German village, declared the liquor
dealers, much beer. The village would
be visited, doubtless, by reputable resi-
dents and their families. who might be
demoralized. The LIQUOR dealers pro-
tested or the grounds of public policy
German village died the death of dis
tempered dream. ,' =
And "now comes" President Frank
Huber of the St. Paul board of aldermen,
with two almost revolutionary ordinances,
which have. the moral support Of the
Liquor Dealers association. Alderman
Huber, keeping a, saloon himself on East
Seventh street, has protected vigilantly the
interests Of his class. The ordinances
were introduced last night and each was
adopted without debate under suspension
of the rules ' ." f' r., -%- g.: 81
The first ordinance guarantees, in fu-
ture the moral tone of every church So
ciable, every Sunday school entertain
ment, every concert or lawn party, read
given in St. Paul by a religious, benev-
| o1ent, or charitable association. That is,
the ordinance repeals all licenses hereto
| fore granted permitting entertainments OF
any sort, and provides that the power to
grant licenses for 'all shows, concert.,
plays, operas, etc, shall be vested solely
in the city council. Only regular the
aters may obtain annual licenses and that
by two thirds vote of the council.
| The second ordinance protects the
health no less than the morality of St
Paul. This subversive ordinance abolishes
the sandwich wagon To eat onion sand
wiches upon the open street is i'll bred
argues Alderman Huber, is even vulgar

low citizens, body and soul, while clear
and decorous sandwiches are obtainable
at free lunch counters while downtown

DEAD FISH CANNOT TALK
A Fish That Jumped Out of
49,. His Boat Then in
49, Again.

From Walker Mimi, comes the some
what startling information that Wallace
G. Nye, secretary Of the Commercial club
public affairs committee, has invented a
new fish story. Mr.. Nye returned from
that town yesterday, and the Inhabitants
are still discussing his ability as racon-
teur. ~. ar. -7 .s.--,. ...
According to the story attributed to Mr..
Nye, he went out for a fish and caught a
piscatorial p, specimen that resembled
nothing so much as baby whale. What
is more, that part of the yarn is absolute
ly on the square, for he brought the fish
to shore with him; but the. manner of its
taking was decidedly PECULIAR
The Minneapolis Waltonian had made
only one or two casts when he got a
strike, The fish was a big one, but after
struggle lasting some ten minutes, was
| landed in the boat. Just as it was
| dropped out of the landing net, however
1t managed to throw the hook clear; and
Nye, not having knife handy, seized ar
oarlock, and struck his prize a vigorous
| blow upon the head. Then the fish slipped
| from his grasp, and with one jump clearec
the side of the boat. :: E: o. u ~
No sooner had it struck the water, how
ever, than It again jumped and this time
| landed once more in the boat at Nye's
! feet Again he caught it. Another blow
descended, and the fish was ultimately
put away in place Of safety.
At Walker they say this beats any yarr
ever turned out by the oldest inhabitant
There is proposition on foot to give Nye
a medal. He was serenaded on his las
night in town, and the Walker papers, II
| commenting upon his departure from oul
midst wound up the article with
pressing invitation, thus: Come again
I Wallace. We are always glad to see 70,
and to hear you talk. You certainly are {

ASSESSORS STRIKE.
Township Officials Decline to Work
for Pittance.
WON'T FURNISH STATISTICS
for Compilation 1t Must
Pay More.

Minnesota's department Of statistics
has been entirely left in the lurch by
the township assessors this year. Com
paratively few have made returns Of
farm and labor statistics from which the
commissioner at ST. Paul makes his re-
port. Assessors reports of this kind
have usually been incomplete, but this
masse. ~J, %
~ For the magnificent sum of 20 cents,
the assessor is expected to compile the
farm and labor statistics Of his township.
The assessors say that $50 would be rea
scnable compensation for this work, which
includes securing answers to a multitude
of questions and compiling the results.Th
refuse longer to do the work for the COM
pensatfon awarded by statute. -
In some of the counties the assessors
strike is not yet in force. There are a
few where the reports have been made
but they are incomplete and inaccurate
The commissioner of statistics has beer
notified of the assessors refusal to make
the returns ard in some cases he has re-
quested the county auditor to make esti.
mates. This would be nothing more thar
guess in any county, and consequently
unsatisfactory. -
The farmer has declared his antag.
onism to the states effort to compile farm
statistics. He regards efforts to secure
figures on acreage and yield as an ai(
to man1pulators of the market in holGins
the price of commodities down. The as
SCISSORS say that the majority of farmers
refuse to answer the questions in -thi
part OF their reports. If they made
an Intelligent report, they would be forced
to go over the ground personally which
would take time and, consequently, re
quire more compensation than the 20-cen
| fee. 1t is the opinion of majority O
the county auditors that the state mus
make large appropriation If it desire
| to secure exact Information of this kind
Otherwise the department might bette
| be eliminated.
Although the central northwest is on.
of the most important factors in the coun
try's commerce and production, there i
no systematic effort to compile informa
! tion on production in any of the thre
states. South Dakota makes no effort a
| all. North Dakota has a department O
| this kind, but If the legislature does no
put it on better footing it might as wei
be cut out. y The township assessor ii
| North Dakota receives no extra compen
sation for this work and. generally speak
| ing, he gives it little attention.

VIOLENTLY INSANE
Spring Valley Farmer Tries to Kill
80 Himself Here.

Frank Field, farmer from Spring Val
ley, Mimi, was sent to the county Jail
last night apparently insane. He had
made two unsuccessful attempts to com
nit suicide. Field was found at the union
station by Detective McAllister and was
sent to the central police station. A few
minutes later he became violent, and
breaking away from the officers, dashed
out of the sta ation, down lookup alley to
Second street, and then to First avenue S,
where he threw himself on the street car
tracks in front of an approaching car.
The car was stopped and the man taken
from the tracks to the station.
When he was locked in cell, he broke
all the furniture and then tried to cut his
throat with piece of sharp iron. He be-
came so violent that he was taken to the
county jail ,.b.,.aE
Field, in one of his rational moments,
told the officers that he had wife and
nine children at home, and that he was
we'll fixed financially, He said that he
had deposited $1,000 with a local steam
ship company agent yesterday and that he
was on his way to the old country. He
had $50 on his person. =. IL >: .

CARE OF THE INSANE.
Improvement In County's Method
Since Judge Harvey Protest.

Taking care of the insane. in the way
commanded by the law will prove very ex-
pensive to the county unless the county
commissioners make different arrange
ments than those now. existing. To hire
a trained nurse at the regular rates of
compensation for every patient turned
over to the county will cost tidy sum,
but it must be done, because Judge Har-
vey says SO, and he is backed by the laws
Of the state and of humanity.
It is understood that the county COM
missioners have in, mind to convert a
large room adjoining the Jail kitchen into
detention room for insane patients.
Carpent ers have already been sent to
look at the room, with a view of making
