MADE A CLEAN SWEEP
Young Man Who Is Wanted on a
Charge of Robbery.

From Thursdays Daily.
Sheriff William Geiger of Rice
county is searching for Michael
Cronen, a sixteen year old boy, who
is accused of committing large
sized robberies at Warsaw, in that
county. 1t is alleged that Monday
night or Tuesday the youth stole
a certificate of deposit on the Sc
curity bank of Faribault, for $500,
and certificate of deposit on the
Citizens National bank of Faribault
for 1914, both the property of d.
Burk of Warsaw, and that he stole
from the house of julius Bejhin $3.50
in money, a nearly new Winchester
rifle and forty shells, mouth organ,
an Ingersoll watch, Belgium watch
and solid gold link chain.
Cronen is said to be freckle faced,
with large mouth and heavy lips,
and wore a brown suit and black
coat with fur collar.

single men over married men in
hiring or discharging men, as the
bin gives married men greater al
lowances than single men for in
juries. The amount allowed for a
death is $4,000, and stated sums for
each kind of an injury, so nothing
is left to the varying discretion of
juries. These weak points do not
seem to have been noticeable in the
working of the law in England.
A long discussion followed the pa
per, and Mr.. Phillips was asked a
number of questions. He said that
farmers would probably be included
in the law. and must pay for in
juries to their help, such as injuries
in corn shredders, falling off of a
load of hay, etc. 1t would be in
cumbent upon the prudent farmer
to take out indemnity insurance. 1t
was not the intention of the code
to cover occupational diseases. such
as occur to employees in marble
works, tile factories, etc.
Injured Receives 20 Per Cent.
1t was stated that at present the
injured man, on the average, re-
ceives only a little over 20 per cent
of what the insurance company
pays on his loss, the balance being
taken up with the cost of investiga.
tons, litigation, etc. Under the pro.
posed law there was no reason why
he should mot get nearly all of it,
and therefore the burden on the
manufacturer and the public would
be but little more than it is now,
agents, lawyers and go-betweens be-
ing the main losers.
In England, less than one per cent
was lost through failure of employ
ers to pay annuities, nearly every
one having annuities rather than
being paid in lump sums, which
might be lost through the inexperi-
ence of widows or other dependents
in handling money.
The code expressly states that it
does not cover injuries occasioned
by the drunkenness of the employee.
unless the employer allows him to
continue at work, knowing him to
be drunk. In this respect it was
thought that the measure would be
force working for temperance.
The discussion was participated
in by number of those present,
including manufacturers, merchants,
professional men and laboring men.
On the whole, the measure seemed
to be favored, although it was seen
that it brings up many complex
problems and would need amending
from time to time to make it's opera
ton fair to all interests, if it became
law.

SENT TO INSANE HOSPITAL
Albert MaIioy Now Where He Car

From thursdays Daily.
Albert MallOy, character who
has been on the streets for years,
and earned little money as a bill
carrier, was examined in the probate
court this forenoon for his sanity,
upon information filed by Robert
Lamm, who asserted that Malloy has
been accosting girls and women on
the street and threatening them, and
that he flies into violent temper
if crossed.
The examination brought out evil

ened people with butcher knives,
and the knives were produced in
court. 1t was testified to that he
peddles bills and carries a trombone
with him and every time he leaves
a bill he plays little tune. 1t was
also shown that marriage is a favor.
lite theme with him, and that he
has fOndness for wearing band and
other gaudy uniforms.
The verdict of the doctors was
that Malloy is insane, and the court
therefore ordered him committed to
the st. Peter asylum, and Sheriff
Osten took him there this forenoon.
1t is generally felt that it is time
that Malloy was taken care of, as
he seems to have been getting worse
in some ways of late. He ought
to be where he can be taken care
OF and not left to wander about,
getting meals and lodging where he
can, and subject to the torment of

when doubt exists as to wheth-
er ones condition or circumstances
allow exemption from the precepts
of fasting and abstinence, counsel
oh no IN
pastors who are the authoritative in
terpreters of the law, and who even
are empowered in special cases for
good and sufficient reasons, indicated
or suggested in Catholic theology, to
commute the precepts of fasting and
abstinence to other penitential works.
Precepts of Fast.
in enjoining upon the faithful the
precepts of fast and abstinence, Holy
Church is mindful Of the evangelical
law of self-denial, of which the
Saviour and his apostles were, by
example and by word, most eminent
teachers. Without self-denial there
is no Christianity. Indeed, without
self-denial there is no natural mo-
ralty. The man who has not acquired
by habit the power of self-restraint
will not be victorious over sin amid
the storms and temptations Of life
which all are compelled to encoun-
ter.
THE observance of the faStS and
abstinences prescribed by the church
is taken as public and fearless
profession of Catholic faith He who
without sufficient and obvious rea-
sons, eats meats or takes his usual
meals when abstinence or fast is en-.
joined, becomes an occasion of scan
dial, and is not accepted as n prac-
teal Catholic.
Let Catholics, therefore, have the
courage Of self-denial for the sake
of Christ and of their own souls, and
be on their guard lest by their acts
scandal be given, and the fair name
of their religion be dishonored.
During Lent, pastors will hold
special exercises of devotion in their
several churches at appointed times.
Instructions of a practical character
upon the Christian duties, the nature
of the sacraments, and the prepare
ton for their reception should be
given on those occasions. g.

RAILROAD NEWS

Why the services of some of the
ten conductors, recently discharged,
were no longer desired by the Big
Four railroad is explained by the
State journal this morning. Investi g.
cation of the wholesale discharge OF
the conductors developed the fact
that some of the conductors who were
let out had been splitting up fares
with the travellers. General Manager
Vann Wrinkle admitted that most Of
the discharges had been prompted by
the discovery of acts of dishonesty.
According to some of the conduc-
tors. travelling men boarding trains in
Ohio cities and In Indianapolis, pur-
chased tickets to points "a short dis
tance from the starting stations and
then paid the conductors half fare In
cash to their destination, thereby
making big savings In fares
The fact that so many tickets wero
purchased for short hauls at the be-
ginning of the week, when the trav-
cling men started out on their routes,
led to an investigation. which laid
bare the scheme. The dischargng of
the conductors followed.
