Reformatory Superintendent Viii Visi,
California Right Away.
From ThurSdaX'S Daily

Frank L. Randall, superintendent OF
the state reformatory at st. Cloud, is
about to be granted an indefinite leave
of absence, and will leave shortly for
California for his health.
The members of the board of control
have admitted that application for a
leave of absence has been asked by Mr.
Randall, but refuse to discuss the mat
ter. 1t will be undoubtedly granted
The impression is general that Mr.
Randall may sever his connection with
The institution altogether, but this is
not vouched for by either Governor
Johnson OF the board of control. He
is known to have been in bad health for
some time. During MIR. Randall's abb
sence the reformatory will be in charge
of Principal Keeper F. H. Whitney.
Should Mr. Randall's resignation follow,
Mr.. Whitney will in all probability be
his successor.

WatervilIe Saloon Man Plays Sieuth
With Good Results.

With Good Results.
From Saturdays Daily.
Last Tuesday man called John Doe
was taken fgrom Waterville to lie SUI
eur Center and lodged in the county Jail.
Friday last a stranger appeared at
Piper's saloon in Waterville. Shortly
after he told '.Dubs" that he left sew
eral grips at the depot and hired him to
bring him the smallest one. "Dubs" by
mistake brought him the largest one
which appeared to be very heavy and
evidently contained tools. The stranger
explained that the grip contained set
of plumbers tools. Mr. Piper became
suspicious and cudeavored to engage
in a conversation with the fellow. FINAL
ly, he confded in Mr.. Piper that if he
had an accomplice he could do some
good work there in the burglar line. The
saloon keeper volunteered to assist him.
Instead he reported the matter to the
proper authorities and the man was ar
rested He pleaded guilty to misle-
meanor and was given sixty days in the
county Jail. The fellow is about fifty
years old, and judging from a bullet
wound on his hip it is believed he is a
professional burglar. Several slips
which were found upon his person bore
the name of John Sullivan.

ONE WOMAN WAS HANGED
An Early Day Execution in Minnesota;
What Records Show.

From Saturdays Daily.
Since the opening of the Brennan trial
the question has been raised whether a
woman was ever executed in Minneso-
ia, says The Minneapolis journal.
The records of the State Historical So
.icty show that the first white person
hanged in the state was Mrs. Anne
Evards Bilansky, who was executed in
st. Paul, March %, 1860, for the muir
Ter of her husband, Stanislaus Bilansky
The husband died from poisoning March
IL, 1859, and Mrs. Bilansky was con-
victed of the crime. So far as known
no woman has been executed in Min
nesota since that time.
There is special provision of the law
covering the case of Mrs. Brennan
Section 74O7 of the general Statutes of
1894 provides as follows:
eff any female convict who is under
sentence of death shall be quick with
,hild, the governor shall forbear to is
sue warrant for the execution, or if
such warrant has been issued, the exc
:ution thereof shall be respited, until
It appears to the satisfaction of the
governor that such female is no longer
quick with child"
The law creating the state board of
pardons was passed in 1897, but it con-
tains no repeating clause, and in the
opinion of the attorney generals de-
partment the section quoted is still in
force. The issuance of the warrant is
still in the governors hands The board
of pardons law provides, however, that
I, reprieve may be granted in any case
by any member of the board until the
entire board can be called in session.
and such reprieve must be based on an
application.

DECLARED RATES VOID.
Decision Of Justice Gaynor PIeases
Royal Arcamum Members.


1t will be of interest to the local
members to know that the action of the
Royal Arcamim in raising the rates of
members, has been declared void by
Justice. Gaynor of the supreme court
at Brooklyn, \. Y. The case was brought
by the secretary against the council
denying the right of the supreme council
to raise the rates or in any manner
change the assessments of member
from what they were when the member
was admitted to the order. The Judge
said: "The amendments complained of
which alter the assessment, are void for
the reason that they change the con-
tracts of the members of the organiza
tion."

Railroad From Anamosa Northwest to

From Thursdays Daily.
In an interview with a representa-
tive of The Lyle Tribune. Mr.. Lacock,
who is buying right of way for the rail
road between Staeyville and Austin
said that while the management of the
project feel friendly toward the towns
in the communities they traverse, their
main purpose is to construct line as
direct as possible between Anamosa, and
Wilmar, Mimi, and that only in few
instances had the course been deviated
a little. No inducements to come to
LYLE would be considered, said Mr.
Lacoek, as that would make the line
longer. In reply to the question .Is the
Northwestern behind the proiect?" he
said, ''we say no." The road will touch
at Stacyyille and enter Austin on the
east, 90 north to Ramsey and then
northwest to Wilmar. The company has
an option on part of the Sven Jacob
son estate for town site which is
about a mile south of the Nevada
creamery and is the only station plan.
