SALOON ROBBERS
SHOOT TO KILL
TRIO HOLDS UP SALOON ON UNI
vERsITY AV, ST. PAUL.
Men In Place Offer Resistance and the
Robbers Shoot,-Two Men Are
Wounded, One Probably Fatally
Men Believed to Have Operated in
Minneapolis.

Three masked men, evidently those
who have annoyed the Minneapolis
police for the past three weeks, held
up the saloon Of Henry Jantz, Univer-
sity avenue and Grotto street, st.
shot two men, one fatally. c. Brett
schneider, 1912 Edmund street. shot
thru the head, will probably die.
Chris Froberg, 1874 Sherburne ave-
nue., was shot in the arm. The men
escaped, but did not secure any booty.
A crowd Of men had collected In
Jantz' saloon last night just after the
close Of the Workmen's lodge. The
front door opened suddenly and a tall
man, heavily masked, with revolver
in each hand, entered. He was close
ly followed by two others, both heav-
lily masked and carrying revolvers.
The leader ordered Jantz to hold up
his hands, but the saloon man, think
ing 1t a joke perpetrated by friends,
told the men to quit kidding" and
quietly continued serving his CUSTOM
ers.
August Christ, who was drinking at
the bar, turned suddenly when he
heard the command, Hands up!" and
was knocked to the floor by a heavy
blow from a revolver. He grappled
with his assailant, and in the tussle a
revolver was discharged, the bullet
shattering the mirror at the rear of
the bar.
While Christ was struggling with
his assailant G. Brettschneider was
slowly making his way toward the
Grotto street door. Two Of the ban
dts saw him and ordered him to re-
| turn. Instead he dashed thru the.
| thule. Being a powerful fellow he
grappled with the highwaymen and
| fought bravely until bullet from one
of the revolvers laid him low. He fell
as tho dead and remained where he
fell until taken to the hospital by the
police.
Jantz, seeing that the highwaymen
were not joking, made an effort to
run from the saloon to the living
rooms above, but was prevented.
| Three bullets were fired at him. one
of which passed between his fingers
| and grazed his forehead. Another
passed thru an open door and lodged
in Chris Frobergs right arm, inf1ict-
| ing a serious wound.
1 BY this time the bandits saw that
there was no use trying to secure any
| booty, and the leader, running to the
door, called his companions, and the
trio disappeared thru vacant lot,
followed by Jantz, who had secured
his revolver and who fired several
shots to attract the attention Of the
policeman on the beat. Other Off
GERS were summoned and a general
alarm was sounded.
Five men who sat at a table in the
room thought the affair was a Joke
until it became serious; then they de-
| cided not to mix"
At the hospital it was found that
the bullet which struck Brettschnei-
der had entered his head near the
nose and had lodged below the left
Il ear. He is a carpenter and is mar
\ ried. F'roberg's wound, while serious,
l will not likely prove fatal. The bull
1 let struck him near the elbow and Is
thought to have lodged in the bone
of his arm.

THEY WANT MORE PAY
St. Paul Teachers VIII Make an Attempt
to Secure Advance.

to Secure Advance.
Dean George F. James Of the depart
ment of pedagogy at the state university
told the members of the st. Paul Fedora
ton of Grade Teachers last evening that
more than 100000 teachers would retire
from the profession this year on account
of the low salaries which prevailed. Many
school boards, he said, expected high
school teachers to instruct in Latin and
Greek and several sciences, to conduct
glee clubs and other musical organizations
and take general charge Of physical Gull
ture and athletics for $50 a month and
only nine months In the year. A laborer
could earn more wages and work every
month in the year. In Ohio the average
paid to $4,000 teachers was 81 cents day.
In the cities of Wisconsin the salaries
were per cent lower than they were
eight years ago, and the cost Of living
had increased rs per cent
After the address, the federation author
izad the president Miss Jean Williams, to
appoint a committee to consider the
matter Of securing adequate compensa-
ton and another committee to protest
against excluding the kindergarten teach
ers from the advance granted to the 9TH

Fresh or Stale Dog Meat.

The humanitarians Of st. Louis have
come down with the imperial fiat that
if the F'ilipinos who are to exhibit the
manners and customs of their coun-
try, insist on dog meat for food, they
must get it canned and have it shipped
from the islands. Any such arbitrary
dictation to the public as this would
be a good deal Of a joke, but just a
suggestion that golden grain belt beer
would make an ideal beverage for
regular daily use cannot be taken
amiss. This beer is brewed from the
finest barley malt and hops. It is a
tonic to body and nerves, delicious
in taste, and, at the same time, mild.
These are the facts. If you care to
order, your dealer can supply you.

The new tax law impares upon
the land owners of West Virginia,
Such enormous tax burdens that il
will require the greater part of the
average farmers income to meet
these unjust assessments. While
the Coal, Oil and Gas interest will
not be taxed any greater than here

tax reform. Mr. Dawson promised
a change in the tax burden and
that change simply makes the land
owner bear the burden and that
bulden increased. The only RENE
dy is to elect legislature that will
repeal this law.

To Young Men.

Marshall Field, the Chicago
merchant, is philanthropist with
good sense. He has offered to en-
dow professorship in Chiosgo
university to instruct students how
to employ their leisure time.
That is good.
Colleges employ scores to pro-
fessors to teach students how to
study, how to do their work in
school. and not one professor to
teach them the proper use of their
idle hours. And it is the idle hours
that count.
Some one has said, Tell me
how a man employs his leisure
time and 1 will tell you his charao.
ter" And that is true. AS long
DIS man, woman or child is en-
ploye1. so long as mind and body
are healthfully engaged, there is
no danger of evil. But Watts
couplet is never out of date:
"Satan still some mischief
Finds for idle hands to do"
Young man, there is weak plate
in the armor of your character. If
the spear of evil finds it it will be
when your off guard. Watch your
leisure hours. Be careful of your
self when time hangs heavy on
your hands. If you are not atten-
tive you will do something you are
ashamed of at first and callous
about in time. Choose innocent
pastimes. 1t is not necessary that
you should be an anhorite or re-
oluse or cad.
But, keep an eye on yourself

AS was anticipated, the Republi-
cans have carried Maine. as they
did Vermont, by a considerable
plurality, but one which shows a
falling off of nearly 10000 from
1896. and of about 5000 from 1900.
While the votes of both parties
show an increase over four years
ago. the Democratic increase is
more than twice that of the Re-
publioans. This is distinct gain
on the showing made in Vermont,
and is evidence of the fact that the
somewhat greater activity shown
by the Democrats of Maine met
with encouraging results. Had
such work been put forth in Maine
and Vermont as is being done in
New York, Indiana and other
doubtful States the Republican
pluralities would have been much
less. The elections in these States
show that the Democrats cannot
depend upon Republican apathy.
but must make a vigorous and
thorough campaign to get out their
own voters, and that if this is
done they have reason to hope for
success.

give his views on the tax question.
He asserts that the number of PEG.
pie in attendance at the meeting
at no time exceeded one hundred
persons, and before the close Of
the meeting the audience had
dwindled down to Is. There was
no attempt on the part of Mr.
Dawson to enlighten his hearers
on the all important questions that
occupy a prominent position in
this campaign.
There was lack of enthusiasm
and, as usual at Republican meet.
ings this campaign the apathy was
painful -Parkershurg Sentinel.

While the farmer would doubt
less rejoice if wheat should, rs pre-.
dicted, in few months, reach 50
per bushel, provided they got the
benefit of the increase, the army of
consumers would not be SO we'll
pleased. The latter have no OBJ
jeotion to the farmer getting a
reasonable profit, but they will de-
cidedly resent a. mere speculative
advance in the staff of life, the
benefits of which will inure prin-
cipally to the spectators. 1t may
we'll be that a scarcity of wheat
might justify such an advance as
is mentioned, but the probabilities
are that such would not be the
case. The prospect of the price of
wheat being doubled within a few
months largely through specula-
ton is one that ought to make the
people generally consider whether
it is not high time to place in
power in the Nation men who will
take effective measures to put an
end to these corners in the food
stuffs.

The cock-sure tone of President
Roosevelt's letter of acceptance is
one of the many d fects of that
remarkable document. He attacks
every question with supreme con.
fidenoe and disposes of it in a
manner which is intended to con-
vey the idea to the reader that
there is nothing more to be said
upon the subject. This is all very
we'll for for those who believe that
the Republican party or represen-
tatives can do no wrong, but it
will have far different effect upon
the thoughtful citizen. Speaking
upon this point the New York
Chimes" aptly remarks:
The letter is Theodore Roose-
welt through. He never put forth
a more characteristics production
A President possessed of the de.
fusion of personal and official in
fallibility is novelty in this Re
public. What would happen if he
should in quite a human way
make blunder and venture upon
mistaken and dangerous policies is
a subject which may give occasion
for anxious thought to the voters
of the country He would never
see his mistake of course, and his
cock-sureness would carry him far.
