Prominent st. Cloud Cit
liens Quite Nervous.
MAY BE CALLED ON STAND.
Sunday Law to Be Tested, Minneap-
oils Attorney to Assist the State
in the Fight.

st. Cloud, July 5.-One of the most
interesting cases to come up in long
| time in connection with the enforcement
of the state liquor law is that of the
state against Adolph Lindenberg, which
is set for hearing before Municipal Judge
David Wilcox at Sank Center on July
70.
Lindenberg is ST. Cloud saloonkeeper
A short time ago Rev. C. w. Stark, who
has been at the head of the movement
started by the anti-saloon men to en-
force the state law relative to Sunday
closing, attempted to secure a warrant
for Lindenbergs arrest. County Attor-
ney Hinsl did not approve of the issu-
ance of the warrant, and Justice Dono-
hue sided with him.
Rev. Mr.. Stark shifted the scene of
the legal battle to Sank Center, where
he secured warrant before Judge Will
cox of the municipal court for Linden
berg's arrest. Lindenberg was arrested
and taken to Sank Center. County At
torney Hinsl refused to prosecute and
Rev. Mr.. Stark took the matter up with
the attorney general, with the result
that he was informed he had right
under the law, to engage whoever he
wished to prosecute
Rev. Mr.. Stark secured the services OF
G. W. Paterson of Long Prairie. On the
hearing at Sank Center the case was
continued until July 8, and in the mean
time both sides have been sparring, but
with no results.
Since then Mr.. Stark is said to have
interested Attorney Purple of Mime
apolis, who conducted the prosecution
and won out against so many Minneapo'
lis saloonkeepers, and who is attorney
for the state enforcement league. Mr.
Purple will be at Sank Center on July 9
But now County Attorney Hinsl says
he will take charge of the trial at
Sank Center, Notwithstanding he once
refused to act, and the matter is fur
Their complicated. He contends that I'M
der the state law it is not his duty tc
prosecute where the offense is non-in'
dictable, but under municipal court
act he is compelled to act in this case
when asked so to do by the presiding
Judge. The judge has asked him tc
| act.
| Mr.. Stark has the names of 20(
prominent citizens who, he alleges, were
seen in saloons on Sunday, and now
they are all side stepping, for it is saic
many of them will be called to testify
! for the state at Sank Center.
! The state enforcement league is sale
to be interested and plans to make
test case of the st. Cloud affair.

Old-Age Pensions.

Sentiment favorable to old-age pen
sions is growing in lands across the
briny deep. Several weeks ago the Brit
ish house of commons adopted a resolu-
ton declaring that measure for uni
versal old-age pensions was imperatively
needed. In France an old-age pension
bill for workingmen is actually pending
in parliament. 1t has passed the cham
Der, and now that the general election
has increased the majority of the parties
in power the senate is expected to take
similar action on the bill, being, as it
is, a prominent feature of the repub-
lican radical-socialist platform and of
the governments program for the year.
That the old-age pension movement is
steadily growing is further indicated by
reports which come almost simultan-
eously from Australia and Newfound
land. The legislature of the latter col
ony has, on the strength of prelimin-
airy inquiry, adopted without a dissent
ing vote resolution for the establish
ment of general old-age pension sys-
tenn. Sir Robert Bond, the premier, es-
Inmates the annual cost of such sys-
tenn at between $l5O,OOO and 5000, OOOO-
an amount, he thinks, that would not
put an undue strain upon the finances
and public resources of the little colony.
A commission will elaborate the details
of the scheme and decide upon what con-
ditions, as to character and time of resi-
dence, pensions shall be granted
The commonwealth of Australia APP
pointed a royal commission some time
ago to inquire into the subject of fed
eral old-age pension legislation. The
constituent states of New South Wales
and Victoria have such legislation in
force-as has New Zealand, by the way
but the people are not satisfied with
state provision.
The commission has made unanim-
GUS report in favor of system of pen
slons for the benefit of all reputable
persons of the age of sixty -five-or of
sixty if disabled pensions to be
regarded mot as charity but as
right" The cost of the federal system
is to be charged upon the general con-
soidated revenue. Every British white

Bryan still clings to free silver, and
continues to advocate the impossible
double standard. In his Fourth of July
speech in London he admitted that the
United States had made great progress
on the gold standard, says The Little
Falls Herald. He added the comment
that if so much could be done by going
on one leg, that the use of two legs
would give still greater results. This
is about such comparisons as he used
in advocating free silver ten years ago.
He will never largely increase his fol-
lowing while advocating free coinage of
silver. The country will not favor it..

AGREE ON DITCH.
Two Railroads Apply to County Board
For Assistance.

FROM tuesdays Daily.
Attorneys for the Northwestern and
Great Western roads appeared before
the county board this forenoon and ask
ed that the county build>a ditch under
the st. Peter road These two companies
were some time ago engaged in litiga-
ton over the drainage of water from
the hills to the east, but since the case
was decided they have come to an
agreement whereby both are to run the
water in ditch and they wish the
county to let this ditch go under the
road. The board will 60 out to the
place where the ditch is wanted and
look over the ground tomorrow.

Superintendent Franklin has been au-
thorized to inaugurate manual training
in the high school of Austin and to ex-
tend it to the grades, as far as cir
cumstances and conditions will premit
A competent instructor has been engag-
ed for that department. Manual train
ing has come to stay in the public
schools. Those who are opposed to its
introduction may continue to lodge OBJ
jectiOns, but their labor will be in vain
Manual training has its merits and once
it has been made a part of the school
work no amount of prying will remove
it from the foundation upon which it
rests so securely. The course has found
favor with educators and the public
alike.

Favorable conditions for growing
crops are reported from every ore of
forty stations sending in weekly sum
maries this morning to A. j. Cummings
q Co., from Iowa, Wisconsin, Minneso-
ia, the Dakotas and Manitoba.
Scattered sections, scattered fields,
one might say, show yellow wheat, es-
pecially on bottom lands, and some
fields will do well to give half a crop.
In other places in southern Minneso
ia especially, red rust has appeared, but
so far no damage is reported.
Some places say that conditions have
improved 25 per cent in the last ten
days, and not a few correspondents re-
port indications for a bumper crop.
