CAUSE OF LIBEL SUIT.
Husband Said His Wife Died From
Bad Treatment After Suffering.

FROM MOnuay Dally.
A somewhat singular libel case has
just been disposed of at Metz, Germany.
A man named Schmied had caused to
be inscribed on the gravestone of his
wife, who died in September, the follow
ing: "Here lies Marie Schmied. She
died through unscruplous treatment aft
er long suffering" As the result OF this
inscription two doctors who had attend
ed Frau Schmied during her last illness
and a midwife took action for criminal
libel against Schmied. The latter, how
ever, declared that he had no reproaches
to make against the doctors, who there
upon withdrew their complaint. The
midwife, however, held to her complaint
and after hearing the evidence of the
district doctor, Schmied was sentenced
to fourteen days imprisonment.

day Opening Question.
From Thursdays Daily.
AS result of the agitation over the
Sunday closing of the saloons, at st.
Cloud, it has been proposed that the
general liquor laws of the state be
amended SO as to permit municipalities
to vote on the proposition at any
general election, whether the hours fix
ed in the general law shall govern OF
whether they shall be regulated by the
council or mayor. 1t is argued that
such an act would not trespass upon
the rights of citizens of villages where
saloons are not wanted, and would leave
to vote of the people in the cities
where there are saloons the matter OF
hours when they may be kept open.
