THE DEMAND FOR DIRT.

1t doesn't take much to give a fnan
a reputation for meanness. Even the
laborors who shovel dirt over the
sichly grass plots on upper Broadway
have earned it by refusing 10 give
away pals of earth, says the New
York Sun.
I'VE have to shut down sometimes. >
said one Of the misers. IF We
hadn't we wouldn't have any dirt left

this town are the biggest baeGars you
ever saw. No sooner is a carload Of
dirt dumped out than children ali UP
and down the street swarm around
With pals that they want filled with
dirt 10 plant flowers in Or to make
mud pies with. With all that de-
mand We simply had to be mean!

PAUL OBJECTED TO WEDDING
Chaska Editor Wanted to Blue Pencil
Sisters Marriage.

from saturdays Daily.
The Fairfax Standard of the current
week publishes racy story in which
Paul F. Dehnel, the youthful and cratic
editor of The Chaska Review is the CEN
trail figure. Paul blew into Fairfax Sat
urday evening without previous an
nouncement. and going to the home of
his mother found members of the fam
lily there assembled. Also young man
named John Timm who had been grant
ed license to marry Pauls sister
Mary. Paul did not like the idea of
Timm becoming an adjunct of the fam
lily. He declared himself i'm vigorous
language against the prospective we'd
ding. In fact he became so strenuous,
so The Standard alleges, that the moth
er, sister and prospective groom hasten
ed to the home of the town marshal to
seek that guardion of the laws protec-
ton. The marshal, however, was not
at home at that moment, but latter
he proceeded to the Dehnel home with
an interpreter. Mrs. Dehnel is alleged
to have stated that the dutiful son
would ''see them all in the graveyard"
before he would allow the marriage cere-
mony to be performed. The Standard
states that Paul left town on Monday
under orders from the mayor.

Mr.. TOWNE REPLIES.
Answers Criticisms About the Madi-
son Lake Fish Prosecution.

From Saturdays Daily.
Game Warden Towne feels sensitive
about illusions in the papers to the re-
cent prosecution of Ben Upper at Madi-
son lake for illegal fishing through the
ice. He said that he has secured indis-
putable evidence that Upper has during
the last year shipped more than five
hundred pounds of black bass, and also
understood croppies. Mr.. Towne states
that he received several requests to go
to Madison lake and stop the unlawful
fishing there, and also received letter
from Agent Fullerton, asking why he
did not go there and saying that he, too.
had received letters from Madison Lake
parties about this. People want to know
why the game warden does Hst enforce
the law, and as soon as he does so they
begin to criticize him for doing. so.
As to the quail that he is shipping
out of the county, Mr.. Towne states
that fifteen PAIR are all that he IN
tends to ship, and he has sent these.
Sam Marshall was paid fifty cents a
pair for trapping them. He believes
that this is no worse than wiping out a
whole covey with pot shot, as many
people do, and not different from the
| bringing in of the ring neck pheasants
from other states, which the commission
has set aside $500 to do so as to stock
Minnesota with them
As regards Tupper's family, there was
raised 81 for them in the court room
of which Mr.. Towne gave half, and Com
missioner Paddock has sent So to the

BILL WILL BE AMENDED.
Measure That Prohibited Giving OF
Excursion Rates.


From Thursdays Daily.
The bill by Representative A. X. Ware
of Mortified prohibits reduced and spe
cial rates, and makes the sale of trans
portation in any form at less than the
rates prescribed by the bill felony.
This was discovered at meeting of
the house railroad committee yesterday,
and it was decided to refer the bill back
to Mr. Ware for amendment so as to
allow reduced rates open to the public.
Most of the members of the committee
believe that it would be unwise to
pass any law prohibiting excursions,
even if a lower passenger rate were Sc
cured for general travel. The prohibition
made by the bill was absolute, and
would have made impossible special
rates from within Minnesota, on ac-
count of conventions, the state fair,
or similar gatherings. The prohibition
was a part of the paragraph to cut off
the issuing of passes, or the granting
of reduced rates to favored individuals
as against the public.
The bill provides for local passen-
ger rate of 21s cents a mile, and inter
changeable mileage books good for not
less than 500 miles, good on all lines in
Minnesota, to be sold at the rate of
cents q mile.

Sons of Hermann Will Not Erect a
House for Aged.

Rouse Tor ASeO.
From Thursdays Daily.
The state grand lodge, Sons of Her
mann, concluded its fifteenth annual
convention. The morning session was de-
voted to the discussion of topics of in
terest to the order, and especially re-
lating to the establishment of state
home for aged members of the order

tees, Crist Figge, Ernest Frey of St.

lis; directors, John Knuz and Otto p.
Anacker of st. Paul, Arnold NiIlius and
Matt Lehman of Minneapolis.
The convention decided, after consid-
cradle debate, not to establish home
for the aged members. 1t was. pointed
out that similar institutions started by
fraternal orders have proved failures be-
| cause of lack of funds to maintain them.
Several thousand dollars has been col
lected for the home from voluntary sub
scribers and from entertainments and
concerts given for that purpose. The
money that has been subscribed by in
| dividuals will be returned, and the
money raised by entertainments will be
used either for the permanent reserve
| fund or to start fund for the relief
of needy members.
The following officers were appointed
by the grand president: Grand guide
Matt Eller; grand inner watch, Fritz
Zeigler; grand outer watch, Hermann
Reichow, John Kunz, Carl Harpke and
