 Senator Sprasins of Madison. called up q Dill making habitual intoxication from opiates. as cause sufficient for divorce. He said that If whisky drunkenness was cause for divorce, opiate drunkenness was equally cause for separation.
 The bill was opposed by Senator Thom- as of Barbour, who said that man or woman on account of sickness often becomes habitual user of opiates. In his opinion. husband and wife should stand by each other for better and for worse. He moved to indefinitel- post pone, and the motion prevailed.

ANTI-BOYCOTT BILL
 GOES THROUGH THE SENATE

boycotts worked a hardship on the la boring people.
 Bullock and Norman Spoke.
 Senator Bullock said that he was of the opinion that it was not a question of cap. ital and labor. it was a question Of whether outside persons should be per secuted or not, and he therefore stood for the bill.
 Senator Norman said that he might be q physical coward. but he was not moral coward or a political coward. He thought that the telegram from the union men of Birmingham was threat and for that reason, if no other, the bill should be passed.
 Senator Craig then entered into an ex- tensive plea for the union man. He said that he had worked for four years In a machine shop, and he knew what the bill meant for the working men of Alabama. He said that he had listened to the ar- guments of the Senators, and all had said that the bill struck no blow at organized labor, but in the same breath they de- nied their statements and entered into an extensive phillipic against unionism. The bill in its true analysis. he said. pro vides for imprisonment for debt. The unions by their boycott. work certain amount of business injury on an estab- hshmept. The amount of this injury is determined by a jury and for that debt the boycotter is imprisoned. He appealed eioouently for the defeat of the bill.
 Hurst Spoke Against It.
 Senator Hurst said that on the previous day, when the baseball bill was under discussion. every man on the floor ~Ns q friend of God. At the time he was speak ing every member was a friend to the laborinK man, but in both cases there were a number of Senators who had a poor way of showing their love. He thought the legislation vicious and plead ed that the Senate refuse to adopt the measure.
 / The Lynne amendment was tabled and the bill was passed by the following vote;
 Ayes-Messrs. Acree. Bullock. Castle berry, Dunn. Frazer. Hogue. Jones, Ken- nedy, Lancaster, Long. Morrow. Norman, Norwood, Powell, Rogers, Screws. Smith, Spragins. Spencer. Stone, Thomas, Woin -22.

 Screws Explained Vote.
 Senator Screws, in explaining his vote, said:
 'so far as the city of Montgomery Is concerned, no legislation is needed along this line. The labor unions of Montgom- cry are composed of law-abiding. peace able and deserving men. Their objects and aims are fraternal and social. and not revolutionary or destructive; they do not indulge in boycotting or intimio4- ton, or commit any of the practices al, legged in this bill. I shall vote for the bill with the announcement that there is no demand for its enforcement in Montgom- ery.'
 The Senate then adopted rule whereby each member could call up Senate Dill! A number of unimportant measures were called up and passed in this manner:

Body Taken to Tuscaloosa.

The remains of Miss Khunie Stone. who shot herself yesterday morning, killing herself, were taken to Tuscaloosa for in- terment. Coroner Paris reiterates the statement of suicide, a conclusion he ar- rived at yesterday. Many rumors are afloat concerning the shooting, some hav- ing 1t tha tthe young woman was shot by a man and did not take her own life.
 The fact that the doors to the office were locked on the inside and that the woman sought the office when everybody else had left tend to strengthen the suicide theory.

HANGING IN wEDowEE:
Second Legal Execution in the His
 tory of the County.

Roanoke. Sept. 26.-(Special.) )-Shar- man Stevens. a negro, was hanged in wedowee yesterday, having been con victed at the last term of the circuit court of killing his father at a negro camp meeting.
 Sheriff Kent allowed all the features of the execution to be public except that the body of the criminal was concealed from view after 1t passed through the trap door. It is estimated that there were 5000 people present from this and sew eral adjoining counties.
 This was the second legal hanging in the history of the county. The first was the case of Tom Barsh last spring. when the report was sent out all over the country that the condemned man had come to life after being cut down. In both these cases. however, the negros' necks were broken and death had done its work before the bodies were cut down

 Bill requiring engineers to be examined was passed
 The Senate reconvened at 8 o'clock and immediately proceeded with the call of the roll, each senator calling up bill as his name was called.
 A number of unimportant bills were passed in this manner. The only bill to cause debate was the measure providing that engineers operating stationary steam engines in counties of over 40.- 900 inhabitants be required to stand an examination as to their capabilities of operating engines.
 Senator Norman of Chambers. said that the only objection which he had to offer was that the bill did not affect his county. He wanted the lives of the people around steam engines in his dis trict protected as well as in the larger counties.
 Senator Norwood of Lowndes said that he opposed the bill on the ground that there are a number of country engin- eers, who satisfactorily operate small engines. who could not pass an engin-

SOmerville Law Upheld.

According to Judge Simpson, of the
Hennepin county district court, the
Western Union Telegraph company is
not exempt from taxation under the
Somerville law. Thismeasure, father
ed by Senator Geo. w. Somerville of
Brown county, requires that all foreign
corporations must have a license to do
business in Minnesota and must pay
a tax proportio nate toits capital stock
invested in the state. The Western
Union people thought that they did not
come within the pale of the law, mas
much as they were engaged in inter
state commerce, and refused to comply
with it's provisions. Suit was brought
by the state and the corporation de-
INJURED, but this has been overruled
by the court and the case will come to
trial on its merits

After Use Of Red Table Maif is ADOPT.
ed BY Depot Force.

Station Agent FL. =. Beecher and his
assistants at the Northwestern freight
depot have a pet that came to them in
in an unusual manner. a few days
ago an empty freight car was switched
in on the depot siding and when it was
opened a big Maltese cat jumped out
upon the platform. He was nearly
famished, but after having sampled the
depot's commissary department he
seemed wellsatisfed with his surround
ings and has since settled down to en-
oyment of his new quarters.
Now upon railroads it is customary
to keep close Wateh upon the contents
of cars, so that shortages of freight
do not occur. As there was no record
of a cat having been consigned to New
Jim it was necessary to make a report
to the short or over department..

PREMIUM LISTS ISSUED
Agricultural Society Preparing For
Annual Show.

Premium lists for the thirty third
annual fair of the Brown County Agri-
cultural society were issued last week
and are now being distributed. They
show that greater inducements are be-
ing offered for exhibits this year than
was the case in 1902 and this will have
the probable effect of increasing their
number. Quite a number of people
possessing prize vegetables have signi-
fed to the management their intention
of exhibiting and it is thought that the
industrial booths will be we'll filled.
This fall a specialeffo will be made
to dispose of more than the ordinary
number, of season tickets. Committees
have been appointed and the city
divided into districts, which will be
canvassed Systematically. Sales will
be pushed and it is certain that the at
tendance will be satisfactory.
Thursday, September 10th, will be
the opening day Of the fair and it will
continue until the following Saturday
evening. The Review, however, is re-
quested to announce that all persons
desiring to bring in exhibits before
the opening day may leave the same at
the stores of F. II. Benhke or G.. A..
Ottomeyer, where they will be given
attention.

GIVEN FAIR TREATMENT
New Ulm Roller Mill Company Gets
Property at Low Figures.

Lots 1, 2 and 4, of block 1872, Park
addition, were sold at public auction
Monday morning and all were bid in
by the New Ulm Roller Mill company.
Alderman Herman Nagel and Anton
Richartz, constituting the park com
mittee, had charge of the sale and it
was commenced promptly at 10o'clock.
Lot was put up first and City
Attorney Jos. A. Eckstein stated that
the municipality would not agree to
give anything better than a quit claim
deed to the purchaser. He explained,
however, that the city was willing to
part with all it's interests in the pro-
perty and when Aid. Nagel called for
bids Ben Stockman submitted a pro-
posal on behalf of the mill company.
He agreed to give 81 for the lot and
as there were no other bidders it went
to him for that figure. The same price
was paid for lot and SIS for lot 2, the
city agreeing to give clear title in each
instance.
On the whole it would not seem that
the New Ulm Roller Mill company had
been treated half badly by the council.
They were fully entitled to lot 4 and
the sale was a mere formality but lot
2 was bargain. The mill people now
own the entire block and the city has
disposed of a series of lots which were
of little real value but which entailed
constant expense.

WONDERFUL GRAIN YIELD
Banner Wheat and Dat Crops in Fertile
Assiuiboia.

A Times man had an opportunity
this morning Of looking at some of the
samples of grain brought to st. Cloud
by Martin Mutchler and Fred. j.
Schroeder, the latter of St. Joe, who
have recently returned from. two
weeks trip out in Assiniboia.
These two gentlemen together with
Mic Mueller and Miss Timmers, Of st.
Joseph, own each half section of
land south east of Regina. The soil
is an excellent black loan and some
Of the samples of this years grain, as
shown by Mr.. Mutchler are nothing
short of wonderful. Nothing but No.
l hard wheat is raised, and the straw
is SO sound the lodging is scarcely
ever experienced.
Mr.. Mutchler stated that harvesting
had begun in his section ofthe country
some two weeks since and that oats in
most places world average all the way
from so to 80 bushels per acre on new
breaking. Wheat is expected to bring
in the neighborhood of soto 40bushels,
though last year in many spots it went
as high as 48 to SO bushels. A great
future is vouched for this part of King
Edwards domain Cloud Times.
The above article will prove interest
ing to those of our people who have
invested in Assiniboia lands through
the New Ulm Land and Investment
company. The farms from which the
St. Cloud parties are obtaining such
fabulous returns are located within a
few miles of the property at the dis
posal of the local company and the
soil is exactly similar. Splendid yields
of all grains are assured and it is but
question of time until Assini boia be-
comes the greatest grain producing
country in the world.

HUBS CHARGES FALL.FLAI|
W.E.Seeley Fails to Secure Divorce
From Ada Seeley.
Says Marie Was Woman Who
Put Him to Bad.
Plaintiffs Flirty Inclinations a,
Bottom of His Downfall.

q IL e IS +
Mrs. Ada Seeley returned recently
: from Sioux Falls, S. D., where she de-
tended successfully the divorce suit
brought by her husband, W. E. seeley,
who had charged her with cruel and in
human treatment and desertion.
It is rather an unusual thing for a
South Dakota judge to refuse to grant
q divorce when it is applied for, but
in this instance thecou at Sioux Falls
changed the program. Seeley went to
Sioux Falls, gained a residence there
in order to have the case tried in that
state of free-and-easy divorce laws.
Seeley's troubles commenced several
years ago when he was rounded up in
New Ulm in company with a woman
who was not his wife, He was oc-
cupying room with his female when
Mrs. Seeley and the chief of police of
New Ulm, swooped down upon them
without warning. During the trial the
New Ulm episode cut considerable of a
figure, and Seeley admitted everything
almost that was laid at his door,
When asked to give the name of this
"charmer'' who had led him from the
paths of virtue and duty he said it
was "Marie'-a sweet name indeed
and one that has been made famous in
story and song-and not infrequently
in divorce courts. It is said that this
particular "Marie' is woman of
mature years and old enough to known
better. In fact she has reached the
age of sere and yellow, and her charms
are not visible to the naked eye. Mrs.
Seeley is charitable enough to say that
Marie is hypnotist and that her
magnetic influence became coiled about
her husband; thus he was led to shores
of sin. The light other eye was dazzling
to the susceptible Seeley. ..- &c..
At the conclusion of the trial the
judge denied Seeley's application for
divorce, but granted Mrs. Seeley's
request for separate maintenance and
$40 per month alimony .-Mankato Free
