Senator French's Bill to Change the Libel Law Favorably Considered by the. Judiciary Committee. In discussing the bill in the commit tee of the whole, Senator Stevens moved that the bill be indefinitely postponed on the ground that its passage would circumscribe the just liberty of the press. Senator Mcllale took the opposite view. There was too much license a moug newspapers, he said, and the mere retraction of a false and malicious state ment would not rectify the damage done by the copying of the original article by other papers. The care should be taken in the first publication. Senator Greer alluded to the libel published by the St. Paul Dispatch a gaiust Hon. John Lind during the recent campaign. Every fair-minded man on the floor of the senate, he said, knew that the publication was malicious and libelous, and yet the jury disagreed. HOW ARE THESE. Knee pants, age 4 to 14,.

The bill of Senator French of this dis trict, which provides for an amendment to the present libel law, has beeu iecom mended to pass by the judiciary commit tee. The bill repeals that provision of the present law which makes it necessa ry, when a libel lias been published in a newspaper, for the aggrieved person to ask for a retraction, and permits the pa per to mike a retraction within three clays after the notice has been served. Under this provision, if the retraction is properly made, the element of malice is eliminated.and action can only pioceed to determine actual damages. The French bill removes this protection to the newspuper and makes it impossible for a newspaper to make any amends for a false accusation or to indicate by a willing retraction the absence of malice iii original publication.

A Warrant Issued for the Younger Broth er's Arrest. Edward C. Kuss, the basso, aud (jJeo. Kuss, the music teacher, left the city, unexpectedly to everybody else and un der rather peculiar circumstances, early last Wednesday morning. Prof. Geo. Kuss left, owing a board bill at the Hotel Wien of something like $40, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, immediately upon learning of his sudden and clandestine departure. The elder Kuss paid his hotel bill, but somehow neglected the hall rent and printing expenses. Geo. Kuss came here from Peoria, 111., early last November. He put up at Ho tel Wien, where he gave music lessons and gradually worked his way into the confidence of friends and the proprietor of the hotel. Edward C. came here from Chicago a Week ago Wednesday and at once set about to arrange for a concert. He is a singer after the style of Max Heinrich and is certainly an artist of exceptional akility. Assisted by his brother and other local talent, he gave the concert at Turner Hall on Tuesday evening. He managed to secure all of the receipts, amounting to nearly $50, and promised to pay for the rental of the hall the fol lowing morning. He complained bit terly when the ticket-seller wanted to retain the $6.75 that had been taken in at the door. Upon retiring at the hotel, George left instructions with the proprietor not to wake him in the morning, as he de sired to sleep. Edward was apparently the only one who arose before train time and stated that his brother was still in bed. After breakfasting, he started for the depot, where he was joined by his brother, with grip and instruments in hand. Edward bought a ticket for Chi cago, but George purchased none at all. Thus they bid adieu to friends and ac quaintances. It was learned later that George pur chased a ticket on the train that carried him as far as La Crosse. A letter was received from that point on Thursday, saying that his brother would settle for the hall and printing expenses from Chi cago. The warrant for George's arrest is in the hands of the sheriff.but, as the young man is now beyond the borders of the state, the authorities do not consider it worth the while to pursue him. Just what prompted the two young men to such a rasli proceeding is a mys tery. Straightened circumstances alone affords an explanation, and even from that standpoint it was ill-considered, to say the least. NEW TOWNSHIP OFFICERS.

That is the Charge Ma*e by Editor Cas well of Anoka. He Says Sheriff Ohapel of St. Paul of fered the St. Peterite $2,000. The Minneapolis Times of Sunday contained a sensational interview with Editor Caswell of the Anoka Herald. The interview related 10 alleged charges of bribery in connection with the Has tings-A-noka hospital fight, and Mr. Cas well speaks right out in meeting. He St. Paul and Hastings papers have claimed that the charges were unfonnd ed and a big bluff. To prove that they are not I will state that I received the story from Julius H. Block of St. Peter, who was the member approached. Ex Sheriff Charles Chapel of Ramsey coun ty, now residing in St. Paul, was the man who offered the bribe, and the place was in the office of Judge Sackett of St. Peter. Chapel walked into the office where Block was sitting, and Judge Sackett was in an adjoining room the door was open. Chapel was not aware of Sack ett's presence and made the proposition to pay Block $2,000 to vote for Has tings and $3,000 more to lobby for the passage of the bill for an appropriation. The offer was indignantly refused and Chapel remarked that "anyway it wasn't necessary to get his vote, as it*y had four aiready, but wanted to in.cu mat ters." The whole conversation was hesrd by Judge Sackett and an affidavit signed by him to that effect is in existence and has been seen by several. In further corroboration of this testimony some St. Peter man, whose name I do not remem ber, saw Chapel go into the office on the day the offer is said to have been made Neighborhood Notes.
