Roland r. MolineuX, who was ad-
judged guilty of murder nearly four
years ago. has been acquitted by jury
of his peers. The second trial presented
marked differences from the first Judge
Lambert, country judge, who presid-
ed, displayed singular fairness, good
judgment, and patience, in sharp con-
trast to Recorder Golf, whose attitude
toward the defense in the first trial was
the subject of criticism, sharp, if not
harsh. Evidence damaging to Moll-
neuX, chiefly in the form of letters
which the Recorder admitted, was de-
clared by the Court of Appeals to have
been improperly admitted. In the first
trial the prosecuting attorney had ev-
erything his own way. All the testi-
mony he wished to introduce was let In.
The State is often at a disadvantage
in second trial. Some of its witnesses
cannot be found, as was the case in the
second trial of Molineux. His long i'm
prisonment and suffering must have in
fiuenced the jury little. All of these
influences, of course, operated to secure
an acquittal for him. The court found
it necessary to reprove Mr.. Osborne, the
prosecuting attorney, whose eagerness
to secure a conviction exceeded all rea-
sonable bounds. 1t is possible for a
States Attorney to show too much zeal
in his efforts to send a man to the gal
lows. The trial was conducted with an
orderliness and dispatch which were
creditable to the country judge who was
taken to New York to preside over this
important trial. The courts summing
up of the evidence was admirable. No
one can review the whole case with sat
isfaction 1t has been at once farce
and a tragedy. Murder was done and.
in spite of great efforts on the part of
the State. the murderer is still at large.
Molineux has been acquitted, but only
after four years in prison and after his
family has been nearly bankrupted. If
he had been poor man he would have
been hanged. His acquittal is the result
of the unwayering courage of his faith
er. who throughout the struggle retain
ed the best counsel In New York. There
is much room for Improvement when 1t
costs q father his fortune TO establish
his sons innocence, or when prescott
ing attorney suggests that rich man
cannot be convicted of murder.

ed the Federation's work in presenting
the destruction of the states forests,
the art commission created by the last

as some of the visible and glorious re-
suits of the Federations work in this

She urged upon the club presidents
the necessity of keeping in touch with
the federation and with her home club
to serve as the connecting link between
the club and the Federation. She urged
them to keep in touch with legislation
and the legislators. The child labor prob
lem is a growing one, and club women
should keep watchful eye on the situa-
ton at home and be ready to lend a
hand to the Federations in other states

is miserable. Mrs. LIE Penotiere recon-
mended that the Minnesota Federation

the movement for the removal of the

of women to look after the girls after
they leave school and to secure them po

run ucSuhy Ddly.
Congressman McCleary was in New
Ulm Saturday and spent some time with
Col. William Pfaender in conference
relative to the passage of a special pen
sion bill for those who took part in the
defense of that city against the Indians.
The bill is calculated to cover only those
who were actually engaged in the fights
that lasted from the 18th of August to
the oath of the same month, and will not
include those who enlisted for the sixty
days patrol duty after the repulse of
Little Crow
1t is estimated that there are some
$50 of these people living. A record was
kept of the men who were engaged in the
fights, but this record was deposited
in the state capitol, and is thought to
have been destroyed when the building
burned some years ago:
Mr.. McCleary left the matter with Col
Pfaender and as soon as the latter can
get the data perfected bill will be
drafted and introduced at the special ses-
sion of congress, and it is expected that
it will be of such nature that there will
be no trouble in getting it passed, though
Mr. McCleary says it is kind of legis-
lation that is hard to get through, and
that the people should not hope to see
the bill become law, for they may be
disappointed.

Converting of the Council.
The council meeting convened at one
O'Clock in the main body of the church,
Mrs. LIE Penotiere presiding. Last year
at Albert Lea new ruling was made
in regard to the executive board which
was materially reduced in size, by elimin-
ating the presidents. of clubs and con-
fining it to general officers and the vice.
presidents of the several districts. This
has not worked out as the promoters of
the amendment hoped, and change is to
be voted on by the delegates tomor-
row, when an informal ballot will be
taken. Considerable discussion is expect
ed over this point.
Another subject that will play prom
inent part in the convention is the
question of reformatories. The Fedora
ton has agitated this question quite a
little and has done some work along this
line during the past year. The Fedora
ton is in favor of the separation of the
two training schools at Red Wing, be-
lieving that much evil results from
operating the two schools so close togeth-
er. 1t also is working for the establish
ment of reformatory for women. The
discussion of these points is expected to
