Some time ago the legislature passed
pool room. law which prohibited the sell

1T SPOILED THEIR CAME
ROGERS TAX SPEECH TOO MITCH
FOR NEARBY AND DORIAN.

Clerk Of Courts E. G. Rogers made a
bad break at the official opening of the
Doran campaign in the Sixth ward
Wednesday night. His remarks about
taxation punctured the tire of the cam
paign mapped out by Doran and McCardv
and those gentlemen were wroth
McCardy who got the floor early at the
formal opening was primed with a few
figures calculated to show that taxes are
hlgher under Democratic administrations
IMAM under Republican administrations.

HIS MIND UNBALANCED.
Watkins Jones Will Be Examined
as to His Sanity.

Watkins Jones, a young man who has
figured recently in Quite an important
case, was yesterday placed in the county
jail on the grounds Of insanity. The case
n which ne inquired was the one against
Charles Hamilton for operating an opium
joint, in which Jones was found and ar
rested.
In the municipal court Jones' evidence
favored Hamilton, and when the matter
came up in the district court 1t was
largely through his testimony that Ham
ilton was convicted. Immediately after
the trial Judge Pond ordered the arrest
of Jones on the ground of perjury. He
was locked up. and the next day was re-
leased on bail The chances are now
that he will be sent to the insane asylum
instead of being tried for perjury

BURGLARS STEAL TOOLS.
They Enter the Unfinished Side of
New Court House.

Burglars are even daring enough to
enter the unfinished part of the new city
hall and steal what articles they can
lay their hands on. When it is taken
into consideration that this is in the
same building as the county jail, one
must imagine that it takes little nerve
to take the chances.
Sunday night a burglar broke into the
room that is used by w. J. Oker, su-
perintendent of construction of the build
ing, and took therefrom about 500 worth
of tools. There was also a five-gallon
can of paint that was taken, but search
showed later where the burglar had hid
den his oil among some rubbish in the
building.
Mr. Oker decided to play a practical
joke on the burglar, so he emptied the
water and sure enough the burglar re-
turned. when there was no one around
and carried off the ffve-gallon can of
water. No arrests have been made.

Daniel Mooney, a Janitor, Married
Myrtle Westcott.

Myrtle Westcott, thirty-two years of
age and blind ever since childhood, was
married last evening to Daniel Mooney,
janitor at the St. Mary's home. The
wedding was celebrated at the home Of
Miss Westcott's brother-in-law, William
+. Kress, 1000 Nicollet avenue The cere-
Daniel Mooney became acquainted with
Miss Westcott at her home with the
Kress family about a year ago. An at
tachment was apparent between the two
from their first meeting, and they have
been together constantly ever since. Mr.
Kress says that the fact Of the womans
blindness did not seem to make the
slightest difference in MONEYS regard
for her and their courtship was conduct
ed along very common and conventional
lines
The wedding last evening was eele-

DROPPED DEAD SUDDENLY.
III. A. Stran Supposed to Have Died
From EpiIeptic Fit.

Children playing in vacant lot near
Thirty fourth avenue north and Third
street, found the lifeless body of H. A.
Stran, timer, thirty years OF age, about
o'clock last evening.
While on his way to a neighboring
grocery, it is believed, he was seized
with an epileptic fit, and died before
being found by the children.
His body was still warm when friends
picked him up. DR.. Berry Lockwood was
hastily summoned. and worked over the
silent man for nearly an hour, but could
not bring Stran back to life.
Coroner Williams was summoned, and
will probably hold a post-mortem this
morning. Stran was a member of Local
Timers Union No. 40, and carried some
insurance in that order.

Evans said that contract was made
just as in any other matter. A copy Of
the contract was produced, reciting that

beginning without any form of ad-

There was also the following from

good spirits despite their own discom-

appeared IN a rift between two storms,
as the event proved. and the Russians
honored him with lively cannonade.
There seemed no reason 10 anticipate
a serious result from this fire. A GER

HAMMOCK SWINGING AN ART.
Pointers Regarding Correct Atti-
tudes and Poses for the Dainty
Summer Girl.

The art of swinging gracefully in
a hammock is acquired 1t does not
come naturally. 1t is on a par with
learning to ride bicycle or rowing
a boat. 1t takes considerable prac-
tice, much presence of mind and skill
to become proficient. Awkward posi-
lions are easily taken while reclining
or sitting in hammocks and the most
graceful may fall far short while
in one of these most treacherous,
though comfortable, adjuncts to
summer outing.
To make pretty picture young
woman should perch lightly on the
edge of the swing and poise herself
easily. The only true way to re-
cline il to cross the feet gracefully
and allow her skirt to hang freely
over the edge. The most trying or
deal for the hammock girl is that OF
alighting from the swing. This is al
ways en- embarrassing moment, but
ouickness and little dexterity Will
extricate the young woman from the
trying position.
