GRAND JURORS AT WORK
JAIL CASES TAKEN UP FIRST
Later They Are Expected to Consider
- the Method of Sheriff Dre-
49, gers Election.

Judge Pond received the grand jury yes
terday and set it to work again. He did
not specifically charge the jury to iaYes-
t1gate the manner in which Sheriff Dreger
obtained the office. but in dismissing that
body, he added significantly that it should
not be in a hurry to adjourn, but should
take ample time to consider matters OF
public interest which came within its
province ....'
In speaking Of the matter afterward,
Judge Pond explained that he had not
deemed it necessary to charge the jury
to look into the doings Of the county COM
missioners. ..
'The jurors he said, were we'll in
formed-the papers have already charged
them-and there is no need for the court
to go any further. If the jury wants to
make an investigation, it will do SO, fol-
the reports in circulation must have
reached them. If the jury is unwilling to
take up the matter, anything that the
court might say would have little effect. .
On gaining the seclusion Of it's own
chamber, the jury began work on the
criminal charges against the prisoners in
the county Jail. The most important case
is that against Herbert Gallahugh, who
shot the colored cook at the San Angelo
hotel. @.

Now is the season-barring the cold in

through the Indian reservations at this
season of the year the Indians are COLI
lectlng sap. week ago they commenced
operations on their preserves, but Simo
Michelet, Indian agent at White Earth;
who was in town yesterday, says the cold
snap has forced them to postpone the
opening of the season.
The Indians still hang on to their old,
picturesque way of sapping the trees for
the liquid substance which when boiled
down becomes that delicious natural con-
fection-maple sugar. They white a
bushel- basket full Of spouts and then,
armed with an auger, where they once
used knife, penetrate the tree until the
sap commences to flow freely, when a
roughly fashioned birch bark bucket is
placed at the base of the tree to catch
the precious flow. The buckets are
emptied every night and whenever it looks
like RAIN 3, --. &. a
The Indians thus not only supply them
selves with all the sugar they need during
the summer, but also supply an outside
demand. During the season. in spite of
the suspicion that it is blanket-strained,
they dispose of several tons Of maple
sugar, ulCeIy Caked IOr the pale-face mar

Portable income. .,..
Several Minneapolitans operate small
sugar pushes at Lake Minnetonka in sea-
son. Among them are Judges Elliott and
Jamison of the district court, who have
some line maple trees at their lake homes.
Judge Jamison has particularly large
bunch of maple trees, and he >manufac-
lures a brand of sugar for his own table
which he declares is far ahead of the
famous Vermont article. Any one who has
eaten any of Judge Jamison's sugar is in
hearty accord with him on that PROPOSE
ton. $751;
Judge Elliott has fewer trees, but he
makes all of them work over time. and
after the boil-down, the net result is of
very respectable proportions.
The average small boy of Minneapolis
who. gets into the woods much at this
season OF the year can tale unfold about
the mysteries of tapping naples. The
usual method of procedure with small
boys is to set forth with lunch under
one arm and bundle of tin cans and a
gimlet in the, other. The cans are either
nailed by the cover to the tree imme-
diately beneath the spout or are set at
the base where steady ''drip-drip" grad
ually fills them. After the boys have
enough to fill good-siZed bucket they
have great time boiling down the sap,
and though they have little to show for
their labors in the end, no saccharine
substance ever tasted half so sweet.

SUPPORT IS ASSURED.
For the Free Baptist, Western Or
gan Of Free Baptist Church.
CONSOLIDATION PLAN KILLED
ton Voted for an Organ
of Their Own.

The Free Baptist, the western organ Of
the Free Baptist church, will be con-
tlnued with better support. Monday
the stockholders of the Western Free
Baptist Publishing society met in the Of
ftce of the Free Baptist and voted down
the proposition to unite with the Boston
Morning Star. Several stockholders init
mated that if the Minneapolis paper dis
continued they would start another paper
to represent the interests of the church
in the west.
For several weeks the columns of the
Free Baptist have contained a discussion
Of the proposition to consolidate the two
church organs. The effect on the denomi-
nation as a result of the consolidation
| was considered, as well as the interests
OF the paper itself. Poor support gave
rise to the proposition. But that is all to
be changed now. Prosperous times are
ahead for the paper
The opinions of the subscribers prepa-
ratory to the vote yesterday were OBJ
tanned by postal card replies to the fol-
lowing questions.
II you could take but one paper, would you
prefer consolidated paper, printed at CEN
trail location, and at a price not exceeding
$3.50 in advance?
If there we're no financial considerations N
the case, would you prefer consolidated pa
per, printed at central location?
Wl1dI eAeCI vi Iue unity VI JIG oSiAoAAA,no
ton would consolidated paper have?
Are you in favor of consolidation, on the
basis of the joint committees reported, print
ed in The Free Baptist of Dec. 10, 1901?
If not, what changes, if any, would make
consolidation agreeable to you?
The majority against the union was
overwhelming.
Resolutions were therefore adopted to
work for an endowment sufficient to make
up any deficiency that may arise.
Plans were also adopted for working
along other lines to meet shortages that
are sure to occur in doing benevolent and
educational work. These plans were made
sufficiently elastic to enable all interested
persons to lend a helping hand. Among
them was one to have churches as organi-
cations take copies of the UNCONVENTIONAL
papers in sufficient numbers to place one
in each family represented in the church.
Four churches adopted the measure and
proceeded at once to act on the sugges-
ton. n. -..l-....-.s

He GOT TIE POLICY
Billy Morse's Cleverness With the
Racket Helped Some.
HE WON HIS POINT AT PING-PONG
John Donaldson Now Has an In
surance Policy Because He
Lost the Game. ..

Inc fascinating game of ping-pong,
which now has a firm hold on two CONT
nents, has been followed up so industri-
ously since its advent in Minneapolis that
it is rapidly developing experts,
Inc hrst match game of ping-pong Of
which there is any public record in Min
neapolis, was played last week between
Billy Morse and John Donaldson. This
contest opened up new possibilities for
the game by demonstrating how it may be
turned to advantage in a business way
MI. Morse, who has scarcely played a half
dozen games of ping-pong, called at the
Glass Block to see Mr. Donaldson on a
purely business proposition. Through the
happy medium Of a game Of ping-po he
accomplished the object Of his visit, after
having first been turned down. =.
When Mr.. Morse tried to hand Mr.
Donaldson an accident insurance policy
for value to be received, the latter's eye
sight was temporarily affected. and he de-
clared that he couldn't see Morse or the
policy. %.
Tell you what I'll do" said Billy,

stairs that has lust taken my eye. I'll
play you game on condition that buy

They repaired to the basement depart
ment, and when they emerged some time
later, Mr.. Morse wore large smile, and
the ping-pong set remained in It's place
to be inspected by some other buyer.
Although he has little experience at the
game, Mr. Morse has shown the same
aptitude for ping-pong that he mas for

HERITAGE TOO PRECIOUS
RECORDS NOT TO BE CLEARED
Unworthy Soldiers Should Not BE
Granted 1t, Says President
Roosevelt.

Washington, March 19.-The president
to-day sent to the senate two veto mes
sages of private bills. One is bill grant
ing an honorable discharge from the mill
tary service to Charles H. Hawley. OF
this case the president says: sae. -
This is mandatory bill, revoking the or
der Of dismissal issued thirty-nine years ago.
and directing the issuance of an honorable
discharge from the army to this man, whom
his superior officers, including the conf
mander-in chief, Abraham Lincoln, held to
be unworthy to serve in the army of the
union thirty-nine years ago. I think it mex
pedient to reverse the order Of dismissal
nearly forty years after the event, when 1t
is out of the question for any one to possess
! the knowledge and the means OF arriving at
the judgment which was possessed by the
fellow officers of the man at the time they
dismissed him. ~ II b. ... 90. 81.

The other is. bill for the relief of James
Howell and the president says:
This is not bill which confers jurisdc-
ton. 1t is mandatory in it's character di-
recting the secretary Of war to revoke and
set aside the proceedings, findings and SEN
tence of court martial held thirty seven
years ago. The man was convicted of mutt
ny, sentenced to be dishonorably discharged
from the army and confined at hard labor
for a term of years. 1t is to the last degree
improbable that there is now as good an OPP
portunity to pass judgment upon the facts
as was the case when the fellow Officers Of
the offender found him guilty. =. There u.s.
perhaps, no other heritage an American
would so like to leave to- his children as an
honorable discharge for services well dis
charged in the civil war; and the honorable
discharge thus granted to those who, with
blood and toll, have earned it, is cheapened
and rendered of little worth If also granted
to their unworthy brothers, who have for
feited the right to receive it.

TO INSPECT VICE..
Official Recognition Is Granted to
Certain Abandoned Glasses.
GOOD FEES FOR AMEs FAvORITEs
The Plan Was Tried Here Years Ago;
but! Abandoned After Strenu-
ogls Protests. .l

! A new police regulation requiring all
| inmates of houses Of ill-fame to submit
to an examination once each week, in or
| der to check. so far as possible, the
| spread of contagious diseases, has been
| announced by Chief of police Fred Ames,
and the inspection system is now en-
forced against all such resorts.
In speaking. of the matter this morning,
Chief Ames said the system had been
adopted as a health measure and had been
entrusted to his department simply. be-
cause the police are in a position to en-
force the regulation tosthe letter. A sim
liar system is used in Germany and IN
several Of the larger cities of this count
try, and according to the chief, it has
resulted in appreciably diminishing the
spread of disease. Ar
The regulation requires the inspection
to be made either by DR.. Clark or DR..
Cohen of the city physicians staff. and
fee of 81 is charged in each Instance.
The chief said that certificates Of health
would be accepted from no other physi-
clans than the two named, and added that
the restriction had been decided upon in
order to prevent fraud.
Whatever it's effect upon the health of
the community at large, the new regula-
ton will result in an increased bank &C
count for somebody, as the income, under
the plan,, will amount to many hundred
dollars each month. ..>

doned owing to the opposition of citizens.
who claimed that it would increase vice
by labelling it "safe.' 1- -..-
However, Mayor Ames has decided that
the provision is wise one, and he was
never known to abandon any plan he had
once adopted simply because others 4ob-
Jected to it. The German system will
have thorough trial. It IS not probable
that the persons affected will view the
plan. with equanimity, but inasmuch as
their business" is by the sufferance of
the police anyway, they cannot invoke the
law for test case
