W0MAN'S PLEA SAVES Man
Farmers Were Bent on Lynching Near
St, Paul,

The presence of mind of Mrs. C. H.
Jackson probably prevented the lynch.
ing of Frank Schmidt, captured near
Oakdale, a st. Paul suburb, several
hours after his attack on Mrs. Peter
Hammes in the kitchen of her farm
home.
Fifteen farmers, armed with pitch.
forks and rifles, were determined to
avenge the assault on Mrs. Hammes,
whose throat is severely lecarated.
Rifles were being trained on Schmidt
when Mrs. Jackson stood up in an
automobile and warned the men not
to fire.
"Whatever this man has done and
whatever you may think he deserves,
remember that he, too, has mother
somewhere, remember that he is a
man and let the law take its course"
cried Mrs. Jackson.
Reluctantly the men lowered their
rifles, but they still clamored for a
chance to "let daylight" into Schmidt's
body.

MINNESOTA FIRE MARSHAL. DE-
PARTMENT.
Robert w. Hargadine, State Fire
Marshal.

This department has frequently called
attention to the fact that more careful
construction of chimneys in the rural
districts is absolutely essential to the
safety of the women and children. They
are the ones who would be the greatest
sufferers in case of fires from defective
flues, poorly constructed chimneys and
property loss from accumulation of SCOT
in the chimney.
Both dwellings and schools should be
subjected to deeper concern than now
is manifested on the part of rural autho-
rites. In the larger cities there are
building codes to control the construc-
ton of chimneys, but in the smaller
communities, villages and isolated ham,
lets there are no such ordinances-the
construction of chimneys depending
almost entirely upon the man who erects
the building.
The Fire Marshal's department of
Minnesota is anxious to advise all per-
sons as to the proper construction of
these necessary adjuncts to civilization
and with this end in view submits the
following recommendations:
(A) Careful and frequent examina-
lions of all fues and the correction of
defects by owners and occupants OF
dwellings and schools.
(B) The elimination of cracked flues
which because of disintegrating mortar
leave spaces for sparks to escape.
(C) Each community should estab-
fish code making a standard for
chimney construction and requiring that
all chimneys be lined with fire proof flue
tile.
(D) Compel all contractors and
others erecting dwellings, schools or
other buildings to have all chimneys
erected upon solid foundation upon
the ground, and not half way up the
wall as in many instances.
The resident Of the rural district
almost always depends upon himself
or his neighbors in extinguishing fires
and for this reason, if not for the more
important one Of protecting the lives OF
his family, the rural resident should take
extra precautions in eliminating the cause
of so many disastrous fres-the defective
chimney.
This department has records to show
that the financial loss from fires caused
by defective hues, chimney SCOT and
sparks from chimneys during the last
fiscal year in Minnesota alone reached
the enormous total of S158,758, and it is
safe to assume that if the recommen-
dations as suggested above are adopted,
this loss would be reduced to minimum
and the danger from the loss of life in
many of the residence and school fires
would be practically eliminated.

BRITISH WARSH|P
LOST IN ATTACK

Berlin, Sept. 28.-One British war.
ship was sunk and two others were
damaged in the attack by a British
squadron on German batteries along
the Belgian coast, especially at Zee
brugge, simultaneous with the launch
ing of the allied new offensive move
ment on land, according to the Ger
man official statement. After these
losses the British ships withdrew.
The official statement enumerates
the capture of more than 5000 French
and British prisoners and some ma
chine guns in the land fighting at
various points along the front.
The foregoing claim of losses in
f1icted upon the British naval forces
attacking the Belgian coast was omit
ted from the German official state
ment as cabled through London,
doubtless having been struck out by
the censor.

HEADS l WIN; TAILS YOU LOSE

County Option means nothing less
than prohibition. 1t is a measure de-
signed to vote out licensed regulated
saloons, but it does not vote out liquor.
1t permits the people of one community
to force the people of another to do what
they do not want to do.
1t provides that majority of voters
in county may deprive a community
of the right of home rule if the majority
vote is dry, but if the majority vote is
wet, it is still necessary for the town and
villages to vote on the issue.
County Option is the only law on the
statute books which permits the people
of one community to dictate to the
people of another what their local policy
shall be, and whether they shall license
any business and use the revenue there
from.
Supposing your town is prospecting
and the revenue from license is needed
to help meet the bonded indebtedness
incurred with the expectation of con-
tinuing to receive that revenue. What
happens if County Option is held?
Your town is in imminent danger of
losing it's licensed revenue, for if the
majority in the county is against license,
your town as we'll as every other town
in the county goes dry. If the majority
vote is for license, the county does not
go wet. 1t is then a question for the
town to decide whether they want
license. The measure is unfair and I'M
American. There is no option in a
measure that wins if it carries and still
wins if it loses.
A majority vote of a county can force
you to give up a revenue that helps run
your town and to meet the towns in
debtedness. And you are offered nothing
in return. Instead, with the loss of this
revenue your taxes will be increased to
make good the deficit. And if your
town is making improvements, those
plans will either have to be abandoned
or the tax levy again increased.
County Option is law that works only
one way, and that way is for prohibition.
1t gives towns that do not favor license
the right to govern themselves, but
denies the right to the towns that favor
license.
Ii your county is to be burdened with
the expense of a special county option
election, voters will do we'll to remember
that a measure that takes away and gives
nothing in return can work incalculable
harm. Every vote for license will
register a protest against such an unfair
doctrine. Advertisement.

TAX LEVY FOR 1916 is CUT
Minnesota Figure Lowered Six-tenths
of a Mill,

The most cheering message that
could be sent to the officials and resi-
dents of the eighty-six Minnesota coun.
ties has been mailed by State Auditor
J. A. O. Preus, who announced that
the state tax levy will this year be
six-tenths of a mill less than last year.
Basing the estimate on a total state
valuation of $1,492,OOO,OOO the state
levy will be Alb mills, against levy
of ATS mills announced in 1914.
The retirement of state certificates
for the Itasca state park and the state
historical society, together with re
duction in the prison building fund
and the state revenue, makes the re.
duction possible. It applies to the
taxes to be collected next year.
Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth,
because they are already taxed for
local teachers pension funds, will not
be taxed for the state teachers pen
sion fund.
This will make further reduction
of .05 of a mill for the three cities, a
total of 40 mills

BERLIN SAYS ALLIES,
GAINS ARE SMALL

Berlin, Sept. 28.-The heaviest blows
the allies have struck since the bat
tie of the Marine have made no deep
impression on the German line, Off
Gals of the department declared.
After weeks of artillery prepare
ton the allies hurled countless in
fantry divisions against the German
works in what is believed to be the
beginning of the great Anglo-French
offensive.
The Anglo-French gain in forty
eight hours of consecutive assaults
along the front do not equal in i'm
portance the crown princes recent
successes in the Argonne, it was stat
ed, although the crown prince used
less than $4,000 troops.
No official estimates of the allies
losses have been given out here, but
it Is known they we're enormous.
The British objective, apparently,
is Lille. But in the first two days of
fighting English troops have been
checked and thrown. back with the
heaviest losses.
French artillery fire made German
positions at Souchez untenable The
most important net results to the al
lies of the forty-eight hours attack
was recorded in the Champagne by
the French.
A several hours cannonading with
shells of all caliber wrecked German
advanced trenches in the region of
Perthes and forced the retirement of
a German division to second line po-
sitions a mile and a half beyond those
previously occupied.

Paris, Sept 28.-The new offensive
movement is continuing along the en-
tire front in Champagne. The war Of
fee announced that further German
positions had been occupied.
The announcement also says that
all gains in the Artois region in North
west France have been maintained.
There is intense cannonading be-
tween the Meuse and Moselle and in
Lorraine on the part of both the Al
lies and the Germans. The text of the
communication follows:
'In the Artois district we have
maintained our positions.
ITO the east Of Souchez our adj
vance, previously reported as having
reached the destroyed telegraph line
to the north of Thellus, has not as a
matter of fact passed the orchards of
La Folie and the highway from Arras
to Lille. This advance, however, has
been at all points maintained.
along the front to the south of
the River Somme there has been
fighting with bombs and torpedoes in
the vicinity of Andrechy. Our artil-
lery has vigorously counter attacked
the batteries of the enemy which
were cannonading our positions at
Queenevieres.
Further Rout Of Enemy.
In the Champagne district the
fighting has been going on with tenac-
ity along all the front. We have oc-
cupied at several places, notably at
TrOu Brfcot, to the north of the Wac
quez farm, several positions in the
rear of our new lines where certain
attachments of the enemy had been
able to maintain themselves.
"The previous statement that we
had captured 200 German officers is
erroneous; we have taken prisoner
800 German officers in the Cham
payne district.
Between the Meuse and the Mo-
selle and in the Lorraine district there
has been severe artillery fighting on
both sides.
"A violent storm in the Vosges has
for the moment suspended all opera
lions in this district"
