President of Retail Liquor Dealers AS
ISOLATION Says Saloon Men Have No
Fear that Mr.. Jones Opposition to
topen" Policy Would Make Him
Unfair.

The saloonkeepers of Minneapolis will
be satisfied with the election of any one
OF the Leading candidates for mayor,
and for this reason are taking no hand
IN the primary election campaign.
SO asserts Herman j. Rose, president
OF the Minneapolis Retail Liquor Deal
ers association. Is.
Our, association has decided to keep
it's hands out Of the primary election
said Mr.. Rose, for we are pretty well
satisfied with the list Of candidates for
all offices. Every man up for mayor is
satisfactory to us, and would give us
right trea tment if elected
I'D. T. Jones is generally credited
with being opposed to an open admin
istration, as shown by his brief term in
office. Won't the liquor dealers op-
pose him?'' Mr.. Rose was asked.
No, we believe Mr.. Jones will give
us fair treatment if he should become
runs his place of business properly
would be given a square deal by Mr..
JONES', was the reply.
Mr.. Rose admitted that all the mayor
atty candidates had beeen seen and that
the, saloonk keepers understood Just where
each stood. 80
cit is the election of legislative rep
resentatives that we are giving most at
tention to, - said Mr.. Rose. GAS a
business proposition, we want men in
office who are rot opposed to us. There
are several candidates for the legisla,
ture that we don't want to see land
But these men will probably not be
not doing much active political work
against them. If they should be nomi
mated, then we will turn our attention
to their defeat at the regular election
We are also satisfied with all the alder

AFTER A BEAUTY DOCTOR
Iowa Sheriff Seeks One Who Prescribed

Andrew Boyer, sheriff Of Elmira,
Iowa, stopped in Minneapolis few
hours yesterday, in his mad pursuit of q
young man who recently persuaded the
farmers wives of Elmira to purchase a
tonic which was warranted to make the
old young, the honlely beautiful, and
the beautiful goddesses. The tonic
proved to be very good imitation Of q
drink which cheers and doth also inebri-
ate. When the farmers rounded UP for
the nj ght they discovered that their
wives were strongly convinced that life
was sweet dream, and that they were
all beautiful. Mr.. Boyer declares that
if he catches his man he will send him
up on two charges; selling liquor with
out a license and getting money under
false pretenses. 49,. -

EVERY CLOCK STOPS
Tickers in School, Building Quit
Work Simultaneously.

WEBSTER CITY, Iowa, Feb. IL
A very strange incident occurred at
the Central High School building in
this city. Every clock in the building
stopped at exactly o'clock in the
morning. 1t was the day of the erup-
ton on the island of Java, and the
time the clocks stopped was within
very few seconds Of the time that the
eruption occurred, which covered a vii
lage and killed several hundred peo-
pie.
The phenomenon is unexplained, ex-
cept that it was very likely due to
some symphetic electrical disturb
ance in the zone in which the high
SCHOOL building stands. Of course, it
may have been a very strange coinci-
dence and yet this hardly explains it
satisfactorily. The phenomenon at the
high school building was first noticed
on the second floor. Every clock had
stopped at just o'clock. Investigation
showed that the clocks on both the
other floors had also stopped at the
same hour. In the kindergarten build
ing, just south Of the high school build
ing, all the clocks were going as usual,
nothing having interfered with their
movements.
AS to just exactly what caused the
phenomenon at the high school build
ing is not known. 1t is presumed, of
course, that it was something in the
nature of an electrical disturbance,
but whether, indeed, it had any con-
nection with the volcanic eruption
cannot be said. The fact that both
occurred at about the same time leads
to this presumption, however. AS to
why no other clocks in the city were
affected is not explained.

And she's too expensive for a man of

FIRST WIFE BRINGS
ACTION AGAINST NO. 2
Strange Legal Point at Issue in Owner
ship of Patented Land.

COLVILLE, Wash, Feb. IA new
and interesting question of law has
arisen before the superior court of this
county in the case of Anna M. Hall
against Estella B. Hall and others.
The action is one by the first wife of
John F. Hall, deceased, against the
second wife to quiet title to a certain
lpiece of land which it is claimed by
the plaintiff was owned by herself and
Hall.
In 1892 Hall and Anna M. Hall settled
on a tract of unsurveyed government
! land in Stevens county and resided
there for a period of four years, at
1.-THE end of which time Mrs. Hall Sc
cured a divorce and left the land Hall
remained on the land, the government
survey was returned in June, 1898,
and on Aug. 8, 1898, Hall filed on the
land.
Later Hall married Estella B. Hail.
Patent was issued to Hall for the land
in 1900, after he had married the de-
fendant, Estella B. Hall. No property
rights were adjudicated in the divorce.
The question in the action is
whether the land, by reason of
the four years residence of Anna
M. Hall, became property of that
community so that she is en-
titled to an undivided one-half in
terest. The supreme court of this
state has never passed on such a ques-
tion, and the attorneys for the respect
i've parties to the suit can find no au-
thorities directly in point.

WILL BE TRIED FOR
KILLING SO YEARS AGO
Iowan, Who Attempted to pefraud
Pension Office, Held for Old Crime.

MUSCATINE, Iowa, Feb. 14.-Thir-
ty-six years ago Charles Cackley killed
Reuben Fenstenmaker at Pennington,
Iowa. Tomorrow he will be placed in
the county Jail at Keosauqua and later
will be tried on an Indictment more
than a quarter of a century old on
the charge of murder
Caekley's capture was due to the
pension office. He applied for a pen
sion while a resident of Ironton, Mo-,
under the name of John Beck. Beck's
name was already on the pension rolls,
and this fact led to Cackley's arrest on
the charge of endeavoring to defraud
the government, He confessed that
his true name was Cackley.
His record was then looked UP, and
1T was found that he enlisted from
Pennington. Correspondence with thN
authorities at that place ELECTED the
fact that Cackley had killed Reuben
Fenstenmaker, a constable, while the
latter was endeavOring to arrest him
on the charge of theft.
Cackley was taken to the Jail at
Keosauqua, where he dug his way to
freedom, which he enjoyed for thirty
six years.
