-FOUR MEET DEATH
IN new ULM fire
HENRY GlNNER AND HIS THREE
GRANDCHILDREN ARE THE
HAPLESS VICTIMS.
They were Alone when the Dwelling
Caught Fire. They were Locked
in and Before Help Arrived all
Chance of Rescue was Gone.

New Ulm, Mimi, Nov. 11.-An
aged man and his three grandchild-
rem were burned to death in a fire
that destroyed their home at noon
Saturday. The dead are:
Henry Ginner, aged seventy years.
Louis Ginner, aged five years.
Mary Ginner, aged three years.
Charles Ginner, aged one year.
Henry Ginner was an invalid, prac-
tically paralyzed by rheumatism. His
daughter-in-law, Mrs. Louis Ginner
lef5 home just before noon to go to
her fathers house on an errand, and
in order to prevent her children from
leaving the house she locked the door.
She had not gone long when Mr.. and
Mrs. John Karl neighbors noticed the
house was in flames. They gave the
alarm, but when the rescue was at
tempted it was found the entire in,
side of the dwelling was ablaze, and
nothing could be done to save the
victims. The mother was overcome
when she reached home and found
the house in flames.
1t is supposed that the children
either played with matches or med
died with the stove and in that way
started the fire. AS the house is on
the outskirts of the city and removed
from other houses, the flames were
not discovered until they doubtless
had brought death to the four persons
within.

COUNTERFEITER ARRESTED.
Secret Service Men Make Important
Capture in St. Paul.

st. Paul, Nov. 11.-Whata apparent
ly was n of the boldest counter
feiting games ever attempted in the
Northwest was nipped in the bud
when Secret Service Agent Thomas
R. McManus walked into a room in
the Union block, Fourth and Cedar
streets, and arrested a man supposed
to be Ernest R. Workman of Winni-
peg, and secured $40, 900 in counter
felt money. 1t was one of the clev.
crest pieces of detective work that
has come to light for some time, and
likewise one of the biggest catches
ever made by the secret service de-
partment in this section.
When Agent McManus grabbed
Workman's arm, the suitcase that he
carried in his left hand dropped to the
floor. This was opened and in it were
found 1000 500 gold certificates. The
certificates had not been quite finish
ed. Only a few minor details were
lacking, and the counterfeits could
have been passed upon many people
in the condition that the officers
found them.

We're not a bit like ancia,nt Rome,

They had no via Wall" Instead
They trod the Appian way:
They had no rag-time melodies.
They wore no trousers creased;
Their gladiators used no guns
To slay a savage beast.

The cocktail with its dangers grave
Was not invented then.
No buzzing trolley a sped past,
No railway strove for speed.

For traffic met each need.
No strange Australian ballot made
1t difficult to tell
Just how to vote; in ba'loting

To bring the lesson home.
Whatever they may say of 1t,

THE VILLAGE GREEN

A st. Paul paper speaks a word in
favor of the perpetuation of the old
time village green. The city has no
such place and it urges that one be
established. The idea has many at
fractions. In our early history every
town had its open square, commonly
designated as the green. There the
and romps in summer time as the even
ing shadows fell, while their elders
enjoyed an airing in a somewhat more
sedate manner. When a public dig
nitary came to town the residents con-
gregated on this green to hear him
speak. The green has it's place in our
traditions and also in our poetry and
romance, but the development of cities
where old time villages used to be has
generally resulted in the loss of this
once familiar institution.
The fancy park, with its flower beds,
its shrubs and its circumscribed paths
outside which the public is not ex-
pected to tread obviously does not fill
the place of the old village green,
which has an undeniable civic value.
besides ministering to the pleasures
of the young people. In a large city,
where crowds soon tread out the ten
der greensward, there is a difficulty
in keeping such a place presentable,
but If a grass-groWn surface proves
impracticable in such a place, perhaps
some substitute can be supplied that
will meet the eXigencies of the situation
and also be artistic in appearance, In
the making of beautiful city may not
the "clvic CENTER" or some locality not
very far away, afford a place for the
traditional green?-Springfiel Union.

FOOLISH ASSEMBLY BILL

A specimen Of raw material for fool
legislation is seen i'm an assembly bill
which provides that street railway
companies "shall furnish the public
with enough cars to seat properly all
passengers" The bill demands that
gates shall be placed upon all cars,
which gates are to be closed when all
seats are filed" 1t also is provided
that Sufficient cars must be placed in
service to accommodate the traffic"
Probably there is not a city or town
in the United States of street car pro-
portions that has not wrestled with the
subject which this Sacramento states
man has tackled. The same proposition
that is embodied in the bill referred to
has been tested time after time, al
ways with the result Of it's recognition
as failure by the public as well as by
the railway company.
The fundamental difficulty about pro-
viding seats for all passengers at all
times on street cars Is the wide vari-
alton of traffic at different times Of the
evening the volume of traffic is double.
treble or perhaps quadruple what 1t is
at other times. Provision for car SER
vice to seat all passengers during those
rush hours would involve the mainte-
nance of cars and men proportionate to
the difference in traffic between the
rush and the slack hours.
1t is obvious, therefore, that no car
service could be operated to assure
seats for all passengers in the busiest
hours without an expense for idle men
that would necessitate much higher
rates of fare than are ordinarily
charged And the persons who make
the loudest complaint about shortage
be likely to kick the most violently at
any suggestion about increased fare
rates as a prerequisite to assured seats
at all times.
The idea of closing gates on cars
when all seats are taken, thereafter
excluding all persons waiting at cross
ings, would pan OUT like the recent
slow schedule demanded on one of our
interurban lines. The very people who
clamored for a safer" schedule howled
themselves hoarse in protest at the
slower speed when it was introduced.
And cars with closed gates, rushing
past irate passengers eager to get
aboard, seat or no seat, would have to
take the chance of being mobbed.

A FRIGHTENED PRESS

Like q bunch of rabbits after the
hunters have passed by, the press of
California is all huddled up and trem-
bling with fear. Its condition may we'll
be described as scared to DEATH
Ferocious members of the disgraceful
assembly at Sacramento have shouted
themselves hoarse at the poor news
papers, and one genial member even
went so far as to declare, in tones so
thunderous that they shook the office
buildings of the Sacramento news
papers, that the gun is the proper an
swer to a newspaper assault"
| The trouble about that sort of thing
is that it might result in some cheap
politician being compelled to stand up
| for his meals on account of distressful
birdshot in his anatomy, and thus be-
come an object of public sympathy.
| Now, nobody wants anything of that
sort to happen. 1t isn't the civilized
way of doing things. Newspapers are
responsible business enterprises, and
any one deeming himself aggrieved may
appeal for redress to the courts, which
are always open.
Seriously, newspapers are seldom
wrong and rarely malicious. If some
newspapers have overreached them
selves in trying to describe some of the
| disgraceful proceedings of the Califor-
mia assembly they can hardly be
| blamed. For even the best and might
| lest Republican organs have not hesi-
tated to declare the present assembly
the worst yet.
If the ferocious members had con-
| fined their anathemas to Livernash and
such Of the San Francisco newspapers
as have made possible the elevation Of
! just such characters as Livernash and
a large proportion Of the assembly there
might have been some justification for
! it's language But when the members
begin to assail the entire press of Cali
fornia and tie up TO their puny whip
| ping post the whole journalistic tribe
then they get funny. Their con-
stitucuts will laugh them to scorn
knowing full we'll the truth of the old
adage that IF you go far enough in
face of the smoke you will reach the
fire"
The trouble is not with the news
papers, but with the assembly, which
has thus far shown itself devoid of all
concern for the welfare and prosperity
of the people, You may be sure that
where any considerable number of rep
Utable newspapers tell practically the
same story there is truth in it. And all
the newspapers of California have re-
ported the proceedings of the present
assembly with more or less accuracy.
No man fears the newspapers who is
doing his duty honestly and fearlessly.
Isn't that true?
The honest newspaper is your daily
policeman, as well as your daily re-
corder of current events and critic of
! the times. Without it there are some

section advising me that an abstract
of my paper would be required, until
the morning of the day the paper was
to be read. The abstract was hastily
dictated and received from the STEM
ographer as I was hurrying to the as
sociation hall, giving me no opportu-
nifty for correction. I, however, did
almost Immediately after the paper
was read take the paper itself to the
press headquarters and was assured
that this, instead of the abstract, would
be made the basis of the reports.
By way of personal explanation de-
sire to say that I am not member
of the Socialist party. I. however, have
been for fifteen years a student and
writer upon economic subjects. OF my
first work, published twelve years ago,
the New York World itself (now wide
ly quoted in criticism of my reported
utterances) was pleased to say: The
Coming Revolution by Henry Z.
Call, is scientific, coldblooded,
mathematical analysis of modern in
dustrial society, in which the tangled
web of economic falsities, inconsistent
cies and anamolies is shown with the
clearness of demonstration of profess

"A very pretty compliment was paid by
his fellow townsmen to President Fall
Heres of France upon the occasion of his
recent visit to his birthplace, the little
town of Mezin. To widen the street the
house in which the president was born
had been pulled down some years ago.
What was to be done? The people of
Mezin put their heads together and
when their distinguished fellow citizen
| arrived imagine his delight at finding
an exact reproduction of his old home
in papier mache! All was perfect, down
to the very furniture, part of which had
been collected from the country around
and part reproduced in facsimile. The
president thanked his friends in voice
broken with emotion, and tears actually
streamed down his cheeks as he finished
his little speech.
The late French president, NJ. Lou
bet, was once the recipient of an in
teresting present. 1t consisted of an
immense album filled with thousands
of press cuttings relating to his visits
to Italy and to England. The album,
which is of enormous size and richly
bound, contains not only cuttings, but
photographs and illustrations of all
kinds. 1t forms, indeed a complete
chronicle of his life written by many
different people, and in more than
dozen different languages.
In India the native rajahs consider it
the highest possible compliment to be
presented with fine specimens of wild
beasts, and consequently both King Ed
ward and the prince Of Wales have been
the recipients of many gifts of this
description. But when, one fine day,
two splendid tigers arrived uneXpect-
edly at Sandringham, King Edward
was driven to demonstrate. "I have ac-
commodation," he said, "for horses,
dogs. cows, cats, MICE and even rats,
but l must draw the line at tigers"
An odd gift was received by the crown
prince of Germany upon his coming of
age. A deputation of butchers attended
bearing an enormous and magnificent
steak, upon the surface of which was
future monarch.
| The late Prince Bismarck once re-
ceived from some miners in Westphala
a bust OF himself carved in coal, and 1t
is said that this odd present was always
carefully preserved by him and looked
upon somewhat in the light of a luck
bringer.
A compliment which had serious re-
suits was paid an actor named Hanson
at a little mining town in British
Columbia. The audience was so stirred
by Mr.. Hanson's acting that some per-
sons began throwing presents upon the
stage like spectators at Spanish bull
fight, One burly miner, having nothing
else handy, hurled lump OF gold ore
Unluckily 1t hit the actor on the head
and knocked him down. He was badly
injured and 1t was weeks before he was
able to play again.
Perhaps the oldest idea of paying A
compliment belongs to a tribe OF Indians
on the Alaskan coast. When a chief
wishes to do honor to distinguished
visitor he invites him to a 'potlatch," !"
or feast. Then Wien all have eaten
their fill the chief goes to the edge OF
the cliff and solemnly casts into the sea
as many Of his possessions as he thinks
he can afford. This Is held to be the
highest form of compliment and much
superior to merely giving presents to
