sLAsHED A TOURIST
Pat Fay Was Disposed to Carve Any
body Why Came His

Pat Fay, sight seer from a small Iowa
town. owes his life to some unassuming
Minneapolis citizen who refused to give
his name and place of residence. Fay was
accosted on Nicollet avenue yesterday at
ternoon by a man named E. w. Forrest,
who stood in the middle Of the sidewalk,
awaiting all corners with an open jack
knife. Forrest slashed Fay several times
across the face and the latter ran towards
the Hotel Nicollet in search of an officer.
A bystander noticed the trouble and
knocked Forrest down before he could
cause further trouble.
Both men were arraigned in police court
this morning. Forrest said that he could
remember nothing Of the trouble and
therefore pleaded guilty. He was let off
with a fine Of $40. Fay's case was dis
missed.

KNEW HIS MILLS
Native Of Amsterdam Has q Surprise
for Hovey G. Clarke, His
Guest.
The Minneapolitan Finds Pictures
of Minneapolis Mills in Hol-
land City.

Mr.. and Mrs. Hovey G. Clarke returned
to Minneapolis yesterday from two
months trip abroad. Most Of their time
was spent in London, Paris, Berlin and
Amsterdam.
American interests, manufacturing
and otherwise said Mr.. Clarke, ARE, Of
course, making great Roadway abroad, but
the thing that appealed to me most Is the
universal Difference shown American trav-
elers as compared with those Of other
natfonalities. This respect is particularly
pronounced at the custom houses. The
old-time incivility and officiousness Of the
customs officials disappears the moment
he discovers that you are an American.
They draw the line SO fine as to distin-
guish now between Americans and Eng
lishmen. The American has a magic
meaning to them, evidently, which the
word English does not convey. For in
stance I was repeatedly taken, on gen
eral appearances, for an Englishman.
The moment spoke. my nasal twang, or
something akin to that, announced my or
igin. The officials knew the difference,
and when I said simply: American that
was enough. They were all smiles and
affability.
In France the customs official, when I
said was a citizen Of hte sister republic,
instead Of examining, wanted to carry
my baggage.
All, no, monsieur he said, 'eet ees
not necessaire. Zee Americana? Mon
Dieu! He ees ever ting
In Amsterdam I was truly impressed
with the greatness of Minneapolis. My
friend, Tutein- Noltheime, noted banker,
said to me: You need not tell me about
your Minneapolis interests. On page 2Os
of my book on America you will find a
complete description with illustrations OF
your Minneap polls saw mills"
Then Mr.. Clark bowed very low and
acknowledged that the Amsterdamians
weren't so slow after all.

OPPOSED TO SALOON
Mound City Residents Ready to Oppose
I License for an Establishment

August zodrow's petition for license
to open a saloon at Mound, Upper Lake
Minnetonka, was presented to the county
commissioners this morning, but was held
on account of notice that protest would
be entertained. Several cottagers and
residents of the upper lake oppose the
granting Of a license on the ground that
Mound would with a saloon become ia
vorite resort of the worst element of the
lake crowds. There is no licensed saloon
there at present.
By a vote of the county commissioners
one quarter section has been taken from
school section 50, Gong Lake, and added
to section 40. Eight acres have been
taken from section 81 and added to sec
ton so. Several citizens from Long Lake
appeared before the county commissioners
this morning to protest the first named
change, petition for which was made
by j. H. .Winslow. The board granted
the request notwithstanding the objec-
tons urged.

Young Man Conslderl

Every year large number OF young
men become Of age and manifest their
desire to perform certain functions
peculiar to The citizens Of our govern
ment by entering politics.
That new voters consider the duty
as well as the privilege Of suffrage Is
evidenced by the interest they. show
In taking partisan stand. Nearly
all have been taught from boyhood TO
maturity, that the principles repre-
sented by certain party are more
than essential to the governmental
welfare, In fact that the enactment
Of their policies into laws Is Of vital
consequence.
Young politicians therefore are apt
to consider the principles OF their
party as the only ones worthy Of at
tention, forgetting or overlooking the
fact that their opponents are citizens
Of the same great nation, that they
are as patriotic and as honest In belief
and that all have the same ultimate
purpose In view as they, themselves
while promoting the welfare Of their
party and the ambitions Of it's adj
herents, the deeper and underlying
motive Of all is to secure the enact

the general welfare OF the country.

For A Lecture Course.

Friday afternoon a meeting was
held in the office of the county super
intendent to plan for lecture course
for this city. Those interested and
assisting at the meeting were: Rev.

S, G. Landes, @. A. Lewis, II. @. Nc
Cormlck, w, B. Gaumer, w. A. Baron
and L. w. Matteson.
A meeting of delegates from several
counties was planned to be held at
Osborne on June 9th. for the purpose
Of selecting numbers for a course,
those places represented at this meet
ing arranging for the same numbers
thus getting better price than II
acting separately. II. G. Duff and RI
20. Mccormick were elected as dele
gates to attend this meeting but after
getting to Marvin learned 1t had been
postponed until the goth. They are
clothed with authority to act for
Philllpsburg and 1T is very probable
that first class course consisting OF
five numbers will be arranged.
This is In accordance with a Sugges-
tion Of the Herald Of sometime past.
There is no better mark of the pro-
greSSive character of the citizens of a
community than that of a good lee
ture course. The intent is to furnish
entertainment of the highest order
and educational nature, variety Of
course being taken into into consider
alton. The cost of such a course will
prObably.not be less than $4OO. 1t is
expected that such large number Of
season tickets will be sold that a low
prices can be named.
The new opera house, II completed
as is expected at that time, a good
room with ample seating capacity will
be available. Such care and judy
ment will be used In selecting the
numbers making up the course that
the people may be expected to re-
spond literally.
