DAWSON'S STAR PRISONER
SERVING SENTENCE, But DOES
NOT WORK.
Stands on Street With Kid Gloves
on, Cigar in Mouth and
Shovel in Hand.

SilONtl III IlStilus
Dawson is having an experience
that is unique, and amusing-to
everybody except the town authori
ties.
Last Thursday E. A. Browning,
representing Cole Bros. of Saint
Louis, Mo, was arrested for putting
up lightning rods in Dawson without
having first paid a city license of
SIS and carried before the mayors
court for trial He admitted the
charge, but claimed exemption under
interstate commerce laws. Mayor
Hill fined him $3.50 or ten days on
the streets. Browning asked for and
was given a written copy of the SEN
tence, and upon refusing to pay the
fine was turned over to Street Over
seer Whitchard who took him to
where the street force were at work,
gave him a shovel and requested that
he begin improving the condition of
Dawson s thOroughfares. Keeping on
the kid gloves which he wore and
with a cigar in his mouth he took
the shovel in his hands, but declined
to strike a lick of work, asserting
that he was sentenced to ten days
on the streets, . not to ten days labor
on the streets, and that he was serv-
ing the sentence just as it was inn
posed He remained in that attitude
throughout the day, and when night
came arrangements were made at a
restaurant for his meals the door
of the town lookup left open that
he might sleep in there if he wished,
and instructions given him to report
next morning for duty at 7:45. He
did not avail himself of the citys
hospitality, however, but enjoyed at
his own expense the sumptuous
meals and comfortable bed of one
of the best hotels, reporting next day
at the appointed hour for work. And
he again took his stand with gloves
on, cigar in mouth and shovel in
hand remaining thus throughout the
day. This has since been repeated
daily with the exception that, be-
ginning Saturday night, the prisoner

SANlTARlUM READY
New State Institution at Walker is
Open for the Reception
of Patients.

Minnesota's new sanitarium for con-
sumptives is completed.
DR.. Weiser of this city had a hand
in its construction and from all re-
ports he has good reason to be proud
of the service he has rendered.
Under the law the institution will
only be open to such patients as are
in the first stages of the tubercular
malady and who offer hope of cure or
at least such amelioratiOn of the d.
sease as will permit them to become
active workers in the struggle for a
existence.
The sanitarium will in no sense be
managed as home for the hopelessly
sick. Moreover, patients desiring al
mission must have resided within the
state at least a year.
The charge made by the state will
be $500 per week, whether for individ-
ual applicants or for those sent to the
sanitarium by boards of county com

STANDING BY THE TICKET. /"

Says the Anoka Union: anted-
$4,000 Republicans who will stand by
the ticket in 1906.''
To which the New Ulm Review APPLY
and concisely answers: "Better name
your ticket first.
1t is Minnesota's glory and pride
that it is very doubtful if $4,000 Re
publicans could be found in the state
who would agree to 'sstand by the
ticket in 1902 Or in any other year
without knowing something about it
first.
There was a day, not very long ago,
when in Minnesota and in all other
states the bosses could count not only
on IS, 900 Republicans, but on at least
IS per cent of the nominal party mem
hership, to stand by the ticket no mat
ter how it was formed or who formed
it. That made easy picking for the
bosses. They formed partnerships
with the selfish interests who were able
to pay them we'll for rbetraying the
people into their hands,, and in an at
mosphere of complacency and self
satisfaction corrupt politics and cor
rupt business went hand in hand, to
the bitter cost of a sleeping people.
But it's different, now. Instead of
enthusiastically demanding to be fur
nished a ticket, any kind of ticket,
which they can follow and be glad,
$4,000 Republicans and many more
than that-are saying to the Republi-
can party: "You'll have to show US. ;"

The trouble with the supreme court

too often been selected with regard,
not so much to their profound know
ledge of the law, as to their ability to
get votes, geographical location very
frequently cutting more figure than
the temperament anderudition general
ly considered as attributes to place

A BISHOPS VIEWS.

The bishop Of London does not be-
lieve that Sunday closing, such as has
recently been tried in the city Of New
York and elsewhere in this country,
is the proper way to improve the NOR
ais Of any people, nor does he believe
that you can force men to become total
abstainers by special legislation.
In speech made a few days ago he
referred to the attempts of the New
York authorities to enforce old-fash-
Toned blue laws, and gave the reasons
why such an attempt must necessarily
end in failure. He said:
1.-THE old idea of Sunday closing
was to take away the worldly tempta-
tions which kept the people from 60
ing to church, but times have changed,
and you can no longer drive people
into the churches against their will.
The only way of attracting people to.
the churches is by offering them some
thing that will take their interest.
s'The experiments OF the authorities
in New York in closing up everything
for two Sundays did not, as far as I
know increase the attendance at the
churches. At least no clergyman there
has made any statements to that effect,
but on the other side it certainly did
increase the business of the saloons,
the back doors of which we're, of
course, wide open.
ST do not think it would be wise for
any government to put severe temper
ance measures in the first place in their
legislative program. England on the
whole is ready to do something to
check excessive drinking, but I am
certain that all those who are not total
abstainers are not going to be inter-
fered with in their drinking.
ST have often been told that as much
liquor as ever is sold in the prohibi-
tion states in America under fictitious
names, and, if this is true, prohibition
laws against the use of alcohol are
causing more evil than the traffic that
directed Americans, because they help
to make people hypocrites and liars.

perance that would predominate thro

He then took up temperance legis
lation in Maine over fifty years ago
and four ma gazinc articles testified to
by those living there that more drunk
enness existed there and more arrests
and trials for inebriety existed today
than half q century ago. That it
created race of hypocrites, liars and
evaders Of the law. He gave the tes-
timOny Of w. b. ClarksOn and Dr..
L'Engle. Of Jacksonville, who spent the
past summer in Maine and they said
liquor could be had without even ask
ing for it. He referred to the states
Of Massachusetts and Vermont, which
states had prohibition and both had
abandoned the idea: Iowa and Kansas,
where the law was evaded as if there
were no such thing. For all of these
ills he besOught high license and reg
ulation and no blind tiger in it. He
spoke Of the training Of the children.

Mr.. McNamee made the best speech
ever delivered on the wet side in Ocala
or in the state and he found many
sympathetic listeners. He spoke only
in praise of his friend Carroll and
there was nothing said or done in the
arguments that was not strictly de-
cOrOus.
Rev. Carrolls reply was to the point,
meeting every argument of his an
tagonist to the complete satisfaction Of
his friends. So enthuSed We're they
that at the close of his reply took him
on their shoulders and gave him a
grand demonstration of their approval
of what he had said. 1t was the
greatest occasion this city has ever
seen for the cause. The speeches
made have never been surpassed. The
ladies were out in force and most of
them remained to hear DR.. CAROLS
reply as did several countrymen, one
OF whom remarked that he had six sons
and every one of whom would vote the
dry ticket.
1t was easily to be seen that the
cOlOrcd man was on the moist side of
the question. The concensus Of opin-
ion is that DR.. Carroll had the best
side of the question and he made the
best argument, but for a doubtful
cause McNamee covered himself with
glory.

No thinking person will entrust the
care Of their eyes to a novice or in
competent person. Speaking of DR..
Frye, the eyesight specialist, now
stopping at the Montezuma hotel, the
Gainesville Sun, of Jan. 18th. says:
''Dr. Frye has received such a f1atter-
ing practice during his stay in the city
that he has consented to remain ano-
Their week. He has fitted glasses for
a large number Of patients, including
some Of the most prominent people of
the city and none but words Of praise
and commentator are heard" DR..
Eyre is a specialist widely and favora-
bly, known in many Of the Southern
states and his visit to Ocala will
doubtless prove a blessing to many
who suffer from defective eyes. A
representative of DR.. Frye will make
the rounds of the city and it will be
easy to arrange an engagement with
him. No charge for examination.

but was done with it forever. Had
been converted Saturday night at a
meeting held by Rev. Harris. 1t was
Il great gathering.
At night the tent was full. the big
Sest audience yet. about 1000. He
spoke on building" His text was the
touch of blood in the left ear on the
right hand and on the right toe. He
said this was TO say the ear hears. be
careful Of what you hear and see. He
took notice Of Bob Ingersoll. He did
il because he had lately been extolled
for a great temperance speech he had
made. He said men like Ingersoll SOW
cd the seed Of death and destruction.
Cnbelief was one Of the curses of the
world. Said Ingcrsoll had made his
money getting Congress to enact the
revenue on whisky. For this he got
$125, 900. Spoke of his early popular
ity. Knew the time when in ST. Louis,
a carriage drawn by six white horses
met him at the depot and drove him
to the opera house, where a crowd
greeted and cheered him. Knew him
in his old age, when no one met him
in that city and an audience Of only
sixty persons heard him, but Sam
Jones, who was then holding a revival
in st. Louis, drew thousands. But so
it goes. Gods words go marching on
to triumph and glory and the ways of
the world die.
He spoke grandly of Ocala and her
upbuilding and closed by saying every
one that wanted to. to come up and
grasp his hand. About all in that au-
dence marched up and did this. 1t
was scene of intense enthusiasm.
This morning there was a meeting of
! the temperance women. Also an effort
