DREGS OF ST. PAUL
Driven Out by Police There, Aban.
doned Women Come to
Minneapolis.
Ordinances Here Make It Somewhat
Difficult to Cope With
Them.

Minneapolis is being overrun with dis
solute women driven out Of st. Paul by
Chief O'Connor's determine ton to enforce
an ordinance which prohibits women from
visiting saloons. They have come to Min
neapolis where no ordinance exists pro-
hibiting them from going to such places.
The police however, have instructions to
arrest all questionable characters as vag-
rants.
Mary. Webb, colored, released from the
st. Paul workhouse last Tuesday, was
picked up last night by Patrolnan Erick-
son. Erickson found the woman in. a
Washington avenue saloon in company
with j ohm DodsOn, also coored For the
woman the police court gave sixty days
in the workhouse and for the man ninety
days.
Superintendent Conroy has done his best
to keep the saloons clear of dissolute wo-
men, but on one occasion when a woman
who had been fined twice for being a
woman Of the town, was arrested in the
back room Of a downtown saloon, the
court refused to convict. The only Mime
apolis ordinance applicable affects only
lewd women of bad characters" When ar
rests are made under this ordinance 1t is
necessary to prove the character of the
prisoner and when this is done the charge
might just as well be that of prostitution
or vagrancy under which severer penal
ties may inflicted.
The police think the city should have an
ordinance forbidding a woman to visit a
saloon, as we'll as one under which per-
sons may be arrested for lettering on the
streets after midnight These would help
in Kidding the city of bad characters.

BEET SUGAR CROP.
It Is One Of the Most Satisfactory
Yet Secured in Min
nesota.
The Quality Is Of the Best -Exper-
ience Proves Of Great
Value.

THE beet sugar crop in this state is
Larger than last year and will prove one
OF the most satisfactory crops that our
farmers have secured" said r. w. Fink,
president and general manager Of the Min
nesota Sugar company, St.. Louis. Park.
THE beet crop will be later than usual"
continued Mr.. Fink this morning, "but it
is Of excellent quality, and the beets have
suffered very little, comparatively speak
Ing, from the wet summer. The principal
loss came in low lying fields, where the
young plants were washed out early in the
spring. Many such fields were reseeded
and a fair crop secured. But when re-
seeding wasn't possible before the first of
July, most farmers concluded that it was
too late to start another crop. They were
sometimes mistaken in that opinion, for
some fields were reseeded early in July
and have given very satisfactory results.
The best crops are reported by men
that have had few years experience with
beets or that have planted them on high
ground. The higher location made the
damage from wet smaller, altho beets are
very hardy; they are to a great extent
proof against either flood or drouth.
Experience has taught beet raisers that
| they should prepare their fields by plow-
ing them deep-eight or nine inches-in
the fall. That will kill off the weeds and
will give the beets chance to grow down
as far as possible, which it's their nature
to do. Two things principally are needed
| to secure good beet crop: Plow deep in
the fall and weed the fields carefully while
the crop growing.
''The price that we shall pay will be the
same high figure that we paid last year
| $4.85 a ton delivered at our refinery.
Owing to the later harvest we shall not
begin operations this fall until about
| Oct. l."

MOTHERS PIN MONEY
James Hof Says He Applied Il
on Her Board
Bill.
She Brings Suit to Recover $50 a
Year for Twelve
Years.

Minerva Hoff of Osseo has commenced
an action in the district court to recover
$500 from her son, James Hoff. This UNI
usual action reveals a condition of family
affairs which would furnish material for a
second king Lear a&
It appears from the complaint, that in
August, 1891, the plaintiff decided her prop
erty In Osseo to her son and his wife, on
condition that the son should support his
mother and pay her $50 year for spend
ing money.
Since then the $50 year has not been
forthcoming altho the mother has made
her home with her children. She has now
sued to recover this $50 year for twelve
years. In his answer James Hoff alleges
that the agreement with his mother in
cluded nothing about board and that he
has not paid her the $50, but has simply
applied 1t on her board bill. He further
more makes a counter claim of $4,000
against the old lady. This amount, he al
leges, is owed for board at SIS per week
and for the expense of probating his own
fathers will.
The case will be tried this term.

THE TAX ON D. PATCH
Well Known Horsemen Think a
$4,000 Assessment Far
Too Heavy.
They Think the Importation of Such
Stock Should Be En-
couraged.

Live stock interests of this city and
state will be unfavorably affected, &C
cording to expressions of we'll known local
horsemen to-day, by the action of the au-
thorlt1es In placing an assessment Of $780,
900 upon Dan Patch, M. W.. Savage's
champion PAGER
eAshorse is a horse all the world over"
maintained W. B. MacLean, president of
the Lake Of the Isles Driving club, 'but
the value Of any particular horse to his
owner is to a certain extent fictitious and
is not proper criterion for assessment.
MIR. Savage may consider Dan Patch
worth 100000 to him, but the PAGER
wouldn't be worth nearly as much to
many other people. The regular assess
ment upon horses has been, think about
$40 apiece, regardless of their original
value. There are plenty of men in this
city that have paid several hundred dol
lars apiece for their horse. Not few
of the animals, have cost several thousand
dollars apiece But all these fine animals
are assessed, like the cheap beasts, at
fiat rate Of $40. Why should an excep-
ton be made against Mr.. Savage? Now,
have a friend who recently brought
blooded bull dog over from London. He
values that dog at $1,O00-you wouldn't
give Is cents for him, probably. And the
London bull will be assessed no doubt,
as plain dog.
man and an honest citizen in this matter
He turned in a valuation of 1851 each, I
believe, on all his horses, including Dan
Patch. That's some SIX times as much
as any other man is giving as the taxable
value of horse in Minnesota But now
a prodigious value is placed on Dan Patch,
and you may be sure the valuation Of Mr..
Savage's other horses won't be reduced
CORRESPONDENCE.
Instead of imposing on Savage in this
way, should say the authorities ought
to lend every encouragement to a man
who has done so: much for state horse
interests, and that has also benefited the
whole community by taking the old expo
sitton building off our hands and making
it the public attraction and convenience
that it's bound to be-
H. P. Watson said: "The proposed as
sessment on Dan Patch is out of all pro-
portion to assessments upon other horses
and other property. take it the assess
ment on the great stallion should not ex-
coed So 900. How many men are there in
Minneapolis that would be willing to put
so much capital In G single horse and bring
him away out here, Mr.. Savage has
done? The presence Of such a sire as Dan
Patch will be of immense profit to all
horsemen in the northwest. Why should
we tr yto drive a good thing out Of the
state? But, unless we adopt a different
policy, shouldn't be surprised to see Mr.
Savage follow the example of eastern men
that break away from communities where
they are assessed to DEATH.

BOLD BURGLARS
They Stole a Big Safe and Blew 1t Opey
on the Street In Broad
Daylight.
New York Post

When it is possible for couple Of bur-
glars to enter the largest hotel of a thriv-
ing city in broad daylight, steal quarter
ton iron safe from the basement, carry it
half block, and there, in the open air,
blow it open and steal the contents and
get away in safety, even the most for
bearing citizen may well feel that the
safety of the public is not guarded as it
should be. Exactly this thing has hap
pened in Seattle, and 1t appears to be
more effective argument for police re-
organization than all the talk of corrup-
ton and inefficiency which has gone on
for some time. It is the more directly
associated with the police administration
because the policeman on the beat did
not find out that the robbery occurred for
two hours, altho the safe was not cracked
quietly with nitroglycerine, but blown
open with black powder for all the world
to hear. This was but little after 5
o'clock in the morning, to be sure, but
| a policeman, a very Dogberry, was not
far away. A reporter for one Of the pa
pers which had stanchly defended the
| police department. told him at I what
had happened. 'It's the first I heard Of
| it," the policeman is reported to have
said "and I was up that way while
ago" Then scratching his head, he said:
! "Oh, did hear an explosion up that way,
| but didn't go up there to see what 1t
was. ! didn't think it amounted to any
thing. Well, well, that's too bad" And
he walked away. The reporter watched
him, but he did not go in the direction Of
/ the hotel where the robbery took place.

NAVAL STATION ON LAKES
Government Plans to Erect One i
Treaty Stipulations With Eng
land Will Permit.


From The Journal Bureau, Room As, Post Build
ing, Washington.
Washington, Sept. 19.-Secretary Moody
will submit an estimate to congress this
year of $250,O00 for the establishment of
naval station on the great lakes. This
will be the first appropriation for q naval
station on the lakes, in accordance with
plans adopted by the board of which Ad-
miral Taylor, chief of the bureau of navi-
cation, was president.
I'he location Of the station will not be
made public until the annual report of
the secretary is issued. However, it is
known that naval authorities favor a site
near Erie, Pa, as best adapted for the
purposes of a training station and naval
base. The establishment of the latter,
however, is doubtful on account of treaty
stipulations with Great Britain.
