Jn public discussion of public questions
lies the safety of the country. Come

eaders in such discussion, and young
men who are leaders to be.
ROGKIt Q. MILLS.
BoOEB Q. Mills has been in Minne
sota for the past week, working for the
Democracy's cause. His voice has been
at the command of the state central
committee, and he has spoken at such
places as it has selected. He is the most
powerful, the most convincing and the
most attractive orator in the party's
ranks. He did more than any single
cause whicli can be named to convert
Minneapolis to the side of tariff reform
two years ano. This year his influence
for the right has been resistless wher
ever he has been heard. Thousands of
people have attended the meetings
which he has addressed in the country
towns. Not only have the village peo
ple listened to him, but the farmers
have come in from miles about to hear
the arguments for freedom. He has
made a life study of economic problems.
II<? has been a member of the national
congress lor a quarter of a century. He
was the author of the famous tariff re
form bill for which Knite Nelson,
Hie Republican candidate for governor,
Voted before he had sold his honest con
victions for the hope of political prefer
ment. In the great Democratic state of
Texas Mr. Mills is the leading and
most popular of Democrats. No gift in
the control of his fellow-citizens is too
valuable for them to confer on him. He
is a profound thinker, a fearless war
rior, an undaunted advocate of the truth.
Tonight he speaks in the Exposition
hall at Minneapolis. Thousands of in
terested men and women should creet
him there. Whoever cares to hear a
cause well presented, whoever is curious
to see a prominent statesman, whoever
is doubtful as to how he shall vote.who
ever has already made up his mind and
wants to have his convictions either
way con finned— all these should go.
Roger Q. Mills is the greatest of the
strangers from abroad who will take
part in Minnesota's campaign this year,
and tonight will be the last opportunity
to hear him. Every seat in the Exposi
tion hall ought to be filled in honor of
the occasion.
KO TIME FOR VITUPERATION.
The newspapers of the enemy are
quoting with the utmost prominence
the kind, commendatory words which
the Globe from time to time has
spoken about Republicans, some of
whom are now candidates for office in
this county.
The Glohk is proud of the fact that
Its tiles will alford a limitless supply of
this sort of campaign material for any
one who cares to use it. It is daily now,
even in the heat of the final battle,
speaking kind, commendatory words ot
Whoever deserves them.
The Cil.ohe refuses to be sidetracked
Into a snarl of vituperation. It declines
to waste its space in bitter, lying per
sonalities which influence no one and
disgust the high-minded. It needs its
columns for the discussion of important
economic principles and the publication
of the news. To these purposes it de
v<«'*-s (.horn.
Tlii-r<: is a class of low-born curs who
rejoice in the coming of a political con
test because it gives them an oppor
tunity to bark bravely behind the cover
of partisan agitation at every decent
passer-by.
There is a class of foul creatures who
spend their days hanging about the
divorce and police courts nosing for
prurient matter to appease their de
praved appetites, and who count elec
tion season as a fattening time, because
it promises that carrion will be plenti
ful.
The Globe does not belong to either
of these classes. . It considers it a credit
to a citizen to aspire to public position,
and it would not discourage the entrance
of the fit and noble into political life by
making them feel that a tirade of sense
less abuse of necessity awaits them
there. The notion that politicians are
like the stove in a country hotel loung
ing room, made to spit tobacco juice on,
does not commend itself to this paper."
sense of propriety.
The Globe is against every Repub
lican on national, state and county
tickets. Some of them are incompetent,
some of them are dishonest, some of
them are low in thought and deed. But
these things ueed not be exploited at
length. There is one paramount reason
why they should be defeated, and that
is because they are Republicans. This
is reason enough. _ •

WAR AGAINST THE REPUBLIC.
The Pittsburg Dispatch, a leading
Republican newspaper of Pennsylva
nia, in a recent issue, published this
startling piece of information:
Next week the goodly sum already at the
disposal of the Republican national commit
tee will be swelled by a round million of
good, crisp dollars, whiob can be used vo
great advantage during the latter days of the
campaign, and especially on the lnst day.
Tins isiu BPM IS TUB DONATION OF PROTECTED
JiANfPAtTiRERs. It will be expended in
New York in an attempt to carry the state
for Habbisov.
Let every patriot mark these words
and ponder on them. They are an open,
shameless announcement of a damna
ble intention to commit the deadliest of
crimes in hell's catalogue. The dastard
who plots against the honor of defense
less children, the assassin who creeps
out of the dark to stab his innocent vic
tim in the hope of gain, is an angel of
light compared with him who would
inlluence the result of an election by
the corrupt use of money. The briber,
the buyer of votes is levying war
against the integrity and the life of our
national institutions. Let every patriot
ask bimself "Shall 1 side with a cause
which resorts to such expedients?"
Let every farmer and wage earner in
Minnesota read these words and ponder
on them. Why should the protected
manufacturers of the East donate "a
round million of good, crisp dollars" to
the Republican corruption fund? Is it
out of a spirit of philanthropy? Is it
because of tiie affection for the poor and
their ambition to increase the profits of
the agricultural classes? Shame on the
lying mouths which say such things.
The manufacturers of the East have a
million dollars to give for this purpose
because protection has enabled them to
wring a contribution out of the reluctant
pockets of every consumer in the land,
and has made them a race of pluto
crats, favored by the law and the
oppressors of their fellows. They
give a million dollars for this purpose
because a Republican victory promises
them a new lease of power and the op
portunity to grow still richer at the ex
pense of the poor. Year after year the
farmers and wage earners of Minnesota
have worshiped and enshrined the
bandits who have robbed them. Let
every one of them ask himself now
"Out of whom did the Eastern manu
facturers mate the million dollars which
they give away without missing it?
And when am 1 to get my share of pro
tectionism's bounty?"
A TOAST TO THE COLONEL.
Half the power and brilliancy of the
world's fair dedicatory address deliv
ered by Col. Watteusox yesterday is
lost to us who were not" of the mighty
throng which heard it. The rhythmic
cadences of voice and the impassioned
grace of manner — these are what we
lose: and since these attributes are
possessed by Col. WATTKBSON in suf
ficient degree to impart even to homely
language a rare dignity and beauty,
how much more must they have done
for the burning, eloquent words of yes
terday's oration.
Yet even in its dull garb of sluggish
type the address moves and thrills us.
It stirs within us the pride of our grand
four hundred years. It quickens the
pulse of patriotism, and sends the rich,
warm blood of freedom bounding
through our veins. It breaks the spell
of debasing commonplaceness which
has held our nobler emotions in Lethean
thraldom, and awakes in us the poetry
and fire of a love of country. It— but
the Globe isn't here to deliver an ora
tion. It simply desires to commend Col.
Wattebson's. The Colonel rose greatly
to a great occasion, and he deserves to
be told of it. He sprang into the breach
at six days' notice, and gave us an ora
tion which Demosthenes couldn't have
done in under six months' time, however
vigorously he walked the shinine sands
with pebbles in his mouth.
The mint season, unfortunately, is
past; but in the likeliest substitute- to
be had we pledge the Colonel many
quadri-centeunial returns of the day,
either here or in the only place that is
better. -

He must at least have lost his appetite. '
lowa lends her Democratic governor to
Missouri for campaign purposes. Not that
"old Missoury" especially needs him, but
lowa is so tickled to be able to do it.
Theee was no Ta-ra-ra-boom in yester
day's Columbian music, but that atrocity is
entirely capable of taking it out on our
progeny in 1992.

ROCK OFJUR GLORY.
Our Public Schools Play the
Important Part in the
• Celebration.
Stars and Stripes Hoisted and
Saluted as the Initial
Performance.
The Interesting* and Impres
sive Ceremonies at the
High School.
Every Grade School Has Its
Own Pleasing- and Loyal
Programme.
Twenty thousand school children who
are being educated at the public schools
of St. Paul celebrated Columbus day
yesterday in a manner becoming to the
anniversary of this most noted event in
the history of the world. Twenty thou
sand bright faces animated by the breath
of freedom and the warm blood and in
nocence of childhood were turned to
ward the stars and stripes, that grand
old flag which stands securely as the
Rock of Ages upon the bulwark of our
American free school system, and hailed
it with a patriotism born of the noblest
human instincts. Little they knew or
realized of the great past or the great
world which is before them, but they
knew they loved the flag, and as they
looked at it there wa% something, they
knew not what, which thrilled them
with a joy they could not contain in
silence, and they ouened their throats
and poured out their delight in shouts
and cheers that resembled the glee of
birds. What more fitting than the cele
bration of this ev;nt by the wards of a
free school system which was founded
by Washington and Jefferson, and made
secure to all future generations by con
stitutional provision? It has wrought
the downfall of bigotry and oppression,
both in this and all civilized countries,
and vouchsafed to the world that
the inquisition, Salem witchcraft
and human slavery cau never
again thrive in civilized coun
tries; it has made woman divine
and the home and fireside sacred; it has
purified the morals of the world, and
placed our social organization upon a
foundation which can never be shaKen.
It was born in America, that country
which was discovered by the great nav
igator 400 years ago, and its wonderful
results have forced nearly every nation
of the old world to adopt a similar sys
tem.
The celebration of yesterday was not
only glorious, but instructive to the
children, and today they know more of
their beloved country, and the lire of
patriotism is deeper louuded in their
hearts. They are coming on to take the
places of their parents, and the affairs of
the nation, in which many of them will
be calied upon to take leading parts,
will be safer in their hands for these
inspiring lessons they are learning from
time to time.
Every one of the public schools, ex
cept two or three very small ones, held
celebration exercises. At each school
the children were formed in line outside
at 9:80 a. in. After raising the rlag,and
the prolonged salutation given it by the
children was over, they were addressed
by some prominent citizen. Addresses
were also made by some of the scholars;
some recited poems ana selections, and
songs were sung by the children in
chorus.
At the 31 iiili School
there were just 1,04 i scholars present,
nut a face of the enrollment missing,
and not one late. With the parents and
friends of the families the number in
attendance was about 3,000. Nearly an
hour before the appointed time the
children began to gather at the
building, and all were present
at 'J o'clock anxiously waiting for
the exercises to begin. Promptly at
9:30 Mr. Carman, the principal, began
marching the children outside and
forming them in line on the Minnesota
street side of the building. It was
nearly fifteen minutes before all were
in line. They were formed four abreast,
and inarched around to the Tenth street
front, where a review stand was erected.
The stand was half way between the
two wings of the school, and the child
ren were brought to a front face in
front of it. The street was completely
blockaded with people from Minnesota
street nearly to Robert street. The
teachers appropriated the east stair and
tilled it full, and every window look
ing out upon the scene from any direc
tion was filled with faces. When the
line was brought to a halt, the children
were greeted with great applause from
the spectators, and then the children
broke into an uproar of applause, which,
as it proved, was the announcement of
the approach of the color guard. This
guard was composed of Moilifc Eilithorp,
Gertrude Jay, .Julia Tesdale, Elsie Wy
and and Attic Foster. They took their
place upon the stand, and then came the
veterans of the G. A. EL, who were City
Comptroller J. J. McCardy, who was
jnade the master of ceremonies: Maj.
Espy, Charles Chapel, Capt. Josias K.
King, Benjamin Brack and Marshall
Sherman.
McCardy'« Oration.
Mr. McCardy opened the exercises by
reading the president's proclamation.
He followed this with remarks in which
he recalled some incidents connected
with the late war of the Rebellion.
Among other things, he said:
"We liave here ioday several gentlemen,
who, as members of that great army which
went forih that you mi^ht stand here tud I
might stand here, and thus demonstrated
their devotion to the flag which" we are to
raise today. You may know it. but at the
lime of the breaking out of the war, our old
Gov. Ramsey was in Washington. When he
heard of it he went to Secretary Oamerou. He
did not know what a regiment was,
but he said: "Mr. Secretary, Min
nesota will give 1,000 men to
help put down this unholy rebellion.'
'Governor,' said Gen. Cameron, put that in
writing, ror it is history.' Gov. Ramsey did
so, and that regiment was the first tendered
to the government. The governor sent word
to Minnesota, and immediately upon the re
ceipt of bis message a meet of what was then
known as the old Pioneer guard was held.
The chairman laid his memorandum book
upon the little table, and invited volunteers
to sign their names. The first to avail him
self of the privilege was Josias R. King, who
is upon this platform. [Applauseand cheers.]
Today, at this school, will occur what can
occur at no other school in this coun
tiy — the raising of this flag dv
the tiist volunteer of the first regiment in the
War of the Rebellion— J. R. King. 'We have,
too. a man who with that same regiment, the
old First Minnesota, repulsed I J ickett"s
charge. Xot only that, during that charce
Marshall Sherman, who is with us and who
sacrificed a limb to .the cause, captured me
colors of the Tweuty-eighth Virginia, which
he was afterward permitted to keep, owing
to the circumstance of their capture. We
have another veteran, one who was present
at the fierce battle of Mobile— Charles Chapel.
The flag will now be raised by Comrade
King."
The Flag Unfurled.
The remarks of the speaker were in
terrupted every little way, and upon
tiie mention of the name of any hero of
the war by tremendous applause from
the children. Capt. Kinsr bowed his
acknowledgment of the ereftt applause
his name elicited, and after a few re
marks raised the flair, a part which he
was called upon to perform. As the old
flag was unfurled to the breeze the
cheers which tiie children gave it was
inspiring.
"America" wns sun:: by the rntire
eratherins. AftW'ii prayer by Mr. Car
man "Columbia"' whs sunsr by every
body present. Then Lewis Franke!,
sou of a prominent St. Paul ousiue.ss
man, and a high school scholar, deliv
ered an address upon Columbus and his
discovery, cud upon the American five
school system. It was a splendid effort,
and the following is an extract from it:
Lewis Fraiikei's Oration.
Men are recognizing today the most im
pressive anniversary since Rome celebrated
her thousandth year— the 400 th anniversary
of the stepping of a hemisphere into the
world's life; four completed centuries of a
new social order; the celebration of liberty
and enlightenment organized into a civiliza
tion.
Four hundred years ago this morning the
Pinta'sguu broke the silence, and announced
the discovery of this hemisphere.
It was a virgin world. Human life hitherto
upon it had been without significance. In
the old world for thousands of years civil
ized men had been trying experiments in
social order. They had* been found wanting.
But here was an untouched noil that lay
ready for a new experiment in civilization.
All things were ready. New forces had come
to light, full of overturning power in the old
world. In the new world they were to work
together with a mighty harmony.
Today we reach our most memorable mile
stone. We look backward and we look for
ward.
Backward, we see the first mustering of
modern ideas; their long conflict with the
old world theories, which were also trans
ported hither. We see the stalwart men and
brave women, one moment on the shore, then
disappearing in dim forests. We hear the
axe. We see the flame of burning cabins and
hear the cry of the savage. We see the never
ceasing wagon trains always toiling west
ward. We behold log cabin's becoming vil
lages, then cities. We watch the growth of
institutions out of little beginnings— schools
becoming an educational system; meeting
houses leadiug into organic Christianity;
town meetings growing to political move
ments; county discussions developing fed
eral governments.
We Look Forward.
We are conscious we are in a period of
transition. Ideas in education, in political
economy, in social science are undergoing
revisions. There isa large uncertainty about
the outcome. But faith In the underlying
principles of Americanism and In God's
destiny for the republic makes a firm ground
of hope. The coming century promises to be
more than ever the age of the' people': an age
that shall develop a greater care for the rights
of the weak, and make a. more solid provis
ion for the development of each individual
by the education that meets his need.
As no prophet among our fathers on the
330ih anniversary of America could have pict
ured what the new century would do, so no
man can this day reach out and grasp the
hundred years upon which the nation is now
entering. On the victorious results of the
completed centuries, the principles ot Amer
icanism will build our fifth century. Its ma
terial progress is beyond our conception, but
we may be sure that in the social relations of
men with men. the most triumphant gains
are to be expected. America's fourth century
has been glorious; America's lifth century
must be made happy.
One institution more than any other has
wrought out the achievements of the pasu
and is today the most trusted for the future.
Our fathers in their wisdom knew that the
foundations of liberty, fraternity and equal
ity must be universal education. The free
school, therefore, was conceived the corner
stone of the republic. Washington and Jef
fer.son recognized that the education of citi
zens is not the prerogative of church or of
other private iiuerest: that while religious
training belongs to the church, and while
technical and higher culture may be given
by private institutions— the training of citi
zens in the common knjwleJ.;e and commou
Duties of Citizenship
belongs irrevocably to the state. We there
fore, on this anniversary of America, present
the public school as the noblest expression
of the principle of enlightenment which Co
lumbus grasped by faith. We uplift the sys
tem of free and universal education as the
master force which, under God, has been
informing each of our generations with the
peculiar truths of Americanism. America,
therefore. {lathers her sons around theVchool
house today as the institution closest to the
people, most characteristic of the people,
and fullest of hope for the people.
Today America's fifth century begins. The
world's tweutienth century will soon be here.
To the 13,000,1(00 now In the American schools
the command of the coming years belongs.
We, the youth of America, who today unite
to march as one army under the sacaed flag,
understand our duty. We pledge ourselves
that the flag shall not be stained, and that
America mean equal opportunity and
justice for every citizen, and brutherhood for
the world.
Miss Emma Fryer recited the Colum
bian ode, which was . written by Edna
Dean Proctor. Maj. Espy made a brief
address. Thomas Cochfan responded
to the toast "The Banner of the Free."
Rev. E. J. Funk, pastor of the First'
German Methodist church, made an ad
dress, explaining that he had been called
upon to nil the place of Capt. H. A.
Castle. He spoke briefly and very in
terestingly. Julia Ward Howe's "Bat
tle Song of the Republic" was sung by
the entire multitude, and the exercises
were < closed by ihe,. benediction pro
nounced by Mr. Funk. -'■' >_ „ :->«.;- ■■''■■ ;,
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A General and Beautiful Observ
ance of the Day. !
At the Franklin school the entire en
rollment, 757 scholars, was present. The
principal, Miss Shan ley, was prepared,
as she supposed, for considerable of a
celebration, but the overflow of enthu
siasm was much more than she had
counted on, and her hands were fuller
than she expected them to be.
Every room in the building was
festooned with the national colors, and
flags were beautifully arranged on the
outside. In front or the building was a
large portrait of Columbus, surrounded
by the flags of all countries, the Ameri
can being the most prominent. The
children were called to order in their
respective rooms, and marched out onto
the grounds in companies. The gather
ing of parents and friends numbered
from 1,500 to 2,000. The war veterans
delegated to raise the flag were W. F.
MeEillan, E. S. Lightbourne and Will
iam Schroeder. The singing of the
children was a beautiful feat
ure of the celebration at this
school. They must have had most
elaborate training, for it is seldom that
such a large body of children can sing
well in concert, but these sang in per
fect harmony and time. John Davidson
read the president's proclamation, and
Uev. Father Casey prayed. The flag
was raised, and the greeting it received
by these young Americans was tre- ;
mendous. Addresses were made by
different ones. Key. Edward Funk and
Rev. Dr. Heath were among the speak
ers. Among the patriotic airs sung by
the children in chorus were "America,"
"Land of Liberty," "Hail to the Land,"
and "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
At the Van Buren school there were
810 scholars present, and nearly 2,000
parents and friends. The enthusiasm
here, as at every other school, was un
bounded. The children were marched
outside, where they saluted the flag.
Then the rest of the exercises were con
ducted inside the various rooms, and
consisted of literary exercises, such as
recitations, addresses by the scholars
and some of the prominent citizens.
The singing of the children was ex
cellent.
■ A Pretty Feature.
At the Madison school there was one
marked feature, differing from any
thing done at any of the other schools.
It was the taking of the oath of al
legiance by every scholar. There were
726 scholars present and an immense
gathering of parents and friends. The
children were formed in line in front of
tne building. The exercises were
opened with a patriotic song by the en
tire school- Then the flag was raised
and the children each took the follow
ing pledge:
"1 pledge allegiance to my flag and
to the republic for which it stands. One
nation, indivisible, with liberty and
justice for all."
It was a scene dramatic and beauti
ful. The rounds of applause that went
up showed the loyalty felt by every |

At Hendrlclcs School.
Tha exercises at this school differed
somewhat from those at the other
schools in the number and diversity of
addresses made. A guard of old veter
ans was on hand. The exercises began
outline. Principal Eatou presided.
Comrade Badger delivered a short patri
otic address as the stars and stripes
were being hoisted. The scholars and
their friends numbered over a thou
sand. In the building the programmes
consisted of singing, declamations and
short addresses by several well known
citizens.
Leon T. Chamberlin said that Co-
Hunbus was properly honored, and de
served it for his courage aud determina
tion, but his discovery was not of ereat
e*-iniDortance to the world and its hap
piness than that of illustrious inventors,
who through years of toil saw a land of
promise in the successful production of
some useful device. Guttenburg, who
made the printing press a success;
Watts, the father of the steam engine;
Eljasllowe, who in poverty and distress
produced the sewing machine; Whit
ney, the inventor of the cotton-gin, and
Edison, who applied electricity to me
chanics, was each a Columbus of the
world of mechanism.
Thirteen millions today taking part
in Columbus' day exercises compose a
nnahty army fighting for truth, sobriety,
purity, intelligence and industry.
J. AI. Hawthorne spoke on* patient
perseverance as a striking character
istic of the life of Columbus, and said,
"that he was as patient as destiny and
as persevering as the ever-returning
tides of the ocean," and eulogized his
patience and perseverance in his object
through many long and «<sary years
until success finally crowned his efforts.
He also referred to Robert Bruce, of
Scotland; Washington and others as
people who never gave up, and applied
the lesson to scholars who were liable
to grow weary at their tasks, and spoke
facetiously of the boy and girl whose
mind was on everything except their
studies. In conclusion he said: "My
young friends, let me urge you on this
Columbian day, a day
When * iih energy sublime.
Four full centuries burst in splendor
From the thorny stem of Time,
to patiently persevere in every good
work and task and then, with the" favor
of God. yours will be a useful life, an
honored name, and heaveu to crown it
all."
Rev. A. B. Saire, M. L. Countryman

THEY OWN THE TOWN
Thieves and Highwaymen
Grow Bolder and Work
More Openly.
Two Lawless Acts Terrorize
Residents of Irvine Park
Locality.
Highwaymen in a Buggy At
tack and Loot Men on
Cedar Street.
A Citizen Captures Check Un
derwood and Hands Him
Over.
There is no question but that it is the
bounden duty of every honest man la
this city to "carry a gun" and have it
ready for instant use after dark. Then
he must have hesitation in using it at
the first hostile move of a suspicious
character. For, besides the burglar,
porch climber and forger, the highway
robber is with us. He is very nervy,
too, and does not hesitate to do his work
under the shadow of the capitol. Some
times he, or they rather, for he travels
in pairs, is on foot and sometimes in a
buggy. The detectives are noi running
him down to any great extent, but the
private citizen is getting the best of
him,as the Globe hinted yesterday the
"flybobs" fear they will.
r Capt. G. \V. Anderson made a record
Thursday night as the only citizen in
the city— and probably In the state—
who was held up Oy robbers with a guv
and took the sun from them. Capt.
Anderson is quartermaster and treas
urer of Garlield post, G. A. K. The
meeting of the post Thursday evening
was quite lengthy, owing to the Colum
bus day business, and it was after 11
o'clock when the captain started for his
home, at the corner of Franklin and
Sherman streets. lie had about $50 of
post money and some of his own in his
pocket, and a spark in his shirt front.
But he has no fears ol personal injury,
for he has traveled that route down
Franklin across Irvine park many a
time without interference, and he
strode along enjoying a good cigar and
pondering over the events of the mor
row.
It may be well right here to go back
some minutes and picK the story up at
another point. A little before Capt.
Anderson reached Irvine park a young
man by the name of Murray, who lives
in the house on Franklin street just
north of Anderson's, was going home.
Before he reached the park two men
started to follow him, and he ran
through the park yelling "Fir?,murder,
thieves." etc., and into his home for a
revolver. He got it and stood on the
steps of his home like the boy on the
burning deck. When Anderson had
passed through the park later, the
same two men, as it was learned later
by comparing notes, sprang in front of
him in a dark spot on the corner, and
tn.e taller clapped a gun against
Anderson's temple, saying "Hand
out your cash." The captain
was somewhat startled by the sudden
ness of the attack and involuntarily
stepped back. Then the gun was shoved
against his nose witu a force that
brought him to a realization of the fact
that the man
meant Business,
as he said: "You pass over your
money and be quick about it or I'll
blow the top of your head off!" The
captain has passed the half century of life
and weighs but 128 pounds, but he saw
a few guns during the war, and did not
propose to surrender if the other fellow
was larger by 40 pounds, lie quickly
knocked the gun to one side with his
right hand, grasped it with his left, his
first two fingers closing over the rob
ber's thumb. Then, realizing that it
was-a right to a finish, he swung his
right with all the force that desperation
lent him. It lauded on the robber's
temple. The blow staggered the rob
ber, and Anderson followed it up with
two more on the cheek as . fast as he
could swing his arm. But the man was
too heavy to drop, and he clinched An
derson,bending the latter almost double.
The 'captain twisted his body and
grasped the robber by the throat with
his right hand. But the big fellow bent
him over again and called to his pard:
"Slug the over the head and
drop him." The pard stepped up to do
so, when Anderson stepped around so
as to keep the big fellow between him
and the pard. But this loosened his
hold on the throat, and he transferred
his right hand to aid the left in trying
to wrest the revolver away. As he was
twisting it it was discharged, the bullet
whizzing between the two men's heads.
This frightened the pard, and
he dropped something, as the cap
tain saw, and called to the big
fellow to cut and run. Anderson gave
a desperate wrench and succeeded in
twisting the revolver from the robber's
hand. • The two men ran and Anderson
tried to shoot. But his right thumb and
forefinger were so numb from the strain
on them that lie could not pull the trig
ger. He then took the gun in his left
hand and fired two shots as he ran the
robbers into Lawyer Home's yard. But
they had got so much start, while be was
trying to shoot with his lame hand that
his shots were wide of the mark. He
followed them around Home's house
and toward the bluff past Capt. Fisher's,
but thought he better not go too far in
the dark, as his body was beginning to
feel sore from the wrenching he re
ceived in his hard struggle, and the
fellows might have another gun and
take a shot at Dim from an ambush.
So he went to his home, but a block
away, and a few minute* later Patrol
men Newell and Kennedy came up, hav
ing heard the shooting from the other
.side, of the park. Young Murray then
came clown from the steps of his house
and told the officers that the smaller of
the two robbers had come around the
block, walked past him and gone south
on Franklin, He stood there all the
time with a gun in his hand, but did or
said nothing. The officers spent some
time in looking for the men, but could not
find them, and later the affair was re
ported at the station. No hint was
given to the reporters, though Chief of
Detectives Mason and a lieutenant spent
about an hour in a vain search for the
robbers. Yesterday Capt. Anderson gave
the detectives the best description of the
men he was able, and Mason iook "the
sun" for a few days, though Anderson
said that he wants it back. He proposes
to carry it hereafter, and says he thinks
he has fully earned the right to do so.
He will not sell it for ?10, and lie would
not take several hundred dollars and go
through a similar experience.
STYLISH HIGHWAYMEN.
They Ply Their Trade With Im
punity in a Buggy.
A little earlier in the evening there
was another attempt at robbery that was
a trifle more "successful. Fred Stevens,.
a painter on West Seventh street, near
Franklin; a young man named Priestly,
who works for J. J. Hill, and a man
named Taylor, a blacksmith. were going
up Cedar street. As they were passing
the capitoi two men drove up in a
buggy, sprang out in front of them and
between them and the street lamp so
that the faces of the two men were in
the shadow. .Without a word of warn->
ing one of them struck Stevens
in the neck and grabbed for his
watch. Stevens tried to protect
his watch, and in the struggle one of
tin* eases was .broken off and fell to the
ground, but the robber got the rest of
the watch. Priestly stepped back . out
of reach, but the second robber made a
crab for Taylor's watch. Taylor also,
umdi* a grab, and caught the watch as it
was jerked from his pocket. The chain
broke, and the watch fell to the ground
in the leaves. The robbers then sprang
into the busrgy and drove rapidly away.
Taylor found his watch, and Stevens
found the half of his case that was
broken off, and the detectives have it,
but don't expect to find the rest of the
watch nor the robbers, though Priestiy
says he can identify the robbers if he
should meet them.
IN THE TOILS AT LAST.
Underwood, the Check Worker,
Caught by Officer Lynch.
George Underwood, the young man
whose exploits with bogus checks and
employing laboring men were detailed
in yesterday's Globe, reckoned with
out his host when he tarried in the city,
and came to grief. He knew that the
detectives had been carrying around
specimens of his handiwork in the
check line without beirnr able io locate
him, and he felt safe. But he tailed to
recognize the tact that there are patrol
men on the force who know a thing or
two, and yesterday morning he wan
dered down in the direction of the
union depot, probably intending to go
to Minneapolis to get a grip that he
stole from the brother of Saloonkeeper
Schmidt and had planted in the town up
the river. Now it appears that Schmidt
had seen Underwood on the street that
morning and told Patrolman Thomas
Lynch of this fact. Lynch kept
Schmidt with him, expecting to see
Underwood in the vicinity of the depot
soon, lie was not mistaken, for shortly
after, Underwood was seen coining out
of Lorimei's saloon. Lynch promptly
pinched him, and landed him at the sta
tion, where a search of his pockets re
veaied but 56.05 of all that he has gath
ered in lately, and a watch, lie gave
his age as twenty-six, and his occupa
tion a salesman. Underwood will have
a hot 'time now, for Schmidt positively
identities him as tue man who passed
the bogus check at his saloon, and lios
enstein Bros., of Minneapolis, also
identified him as the man who worked
a $25 check on them a few days atro,
Others of his St. Paul victims also
identified him, and he will have to face
several charges of forgery, and uttering
forged paper as well as a charge or two
of larceny. Ilis examination is set for
Tuesday.
TERRIBLE CKIME.
Charles Jones Charged With At-
tempted Outrasje.
Added to all the other criminals about
us is the man who has no regard for fe
male virtue. But one of these fellows
came to grief last night. He is Charles
Jones, a single man of twenty-eight
years. He went to the house
just beyond the high bridge ou
the river road, where Thomas Kastner
and his wife Mary, a buxom woman of
thirty, reside. Mrs. Kastner was alone
in the house at that time, and Charles
thought this an opportunity that he
would improve. He made base pro
posals to Mrs. Kastner, which svere re
fused, and he was ordered out of the
house. Instead of going he seized her,
and, after a hard struggle about
the room, in which chairs and
other furniture were overturned, he
succeeded in throwing her to the floor.
But she still fought with all the vigor
of a strong and enraged woman, and
managed to free herself from his grasp
before be had accomplished his purpose.
Her clothing was almost torn otF her
body, but as soon as she had broken
his hold by a portion of her dress giving
away she ran out doors screaming with
all her might. Officer McGrath" heard
her cries and gave chase to Jones, whom
he soon overhauled and lodged in the
Ducas street station.
RUN DOWN BY A OAR.
A Girl's Serious Accident and
Narrow Escape.
About 0:30 last evening: Kanda Peter
son, a twelve-year-old girl, was hurt on
a grip car on East Seventh street, and
came within a hair's breadth of being
killed. She is the daughter of Rasmus
Peterson, 3'JS East Fifth street, who re
cently had a lee broken, and had been
down town with several other children
in the parade. She and the others were
in the act of {jetting on a car to go
home when, as she says, a man crowded
her oil the step, and siie fell in trout of
a car coming clown. The gripman made
a very quick stop, but could not prevent
the car running over her far enough for
the grip bar to strike her head. The
passengers sprang to the ground and
lifted the car so that Albert Gatzka, a
printer, could pull her out and carry
her into a drug store. It was found
that her nose was broken, her head ana
face cut and her body bruised, but
nothing serious. She was takeu home
in the patrol wagon.
DEATH ON THE KAIL.
Unknown Man Crushed by the
East Seventh Street Cable.
An unknown man lies dead at the
city hospital, and some family is prob
ably waiting for the husband and father
that will never cume. It was about 0
o'clock last evening that the man tried
to cross the tracks on Seventh street at
Wacouta. Two cars were meeting, but
he evidently did not see but the one,
for he passed in roar of it, and was
struck by tne other going in an oppo
site direction. lie was hurt about the
head and body, and died an hour later
at the city hospital, where he was taken
by the central patrol wagon, lie did
not recover enough to tell who he was,
and there was nothing in his
pockets to identify him. In his
pockets were a transfer ticket
iron] the Maria avenue line to the West
Seventh street cable, and a card of Jolin
Lleber. saloonist at 44.) East Seventh
street. The man looks like a laboring
man, is about 5 feet 5 or 6 inches, 140
pounds weight, forty-live to fifty years
old, and wears a mustache. Driver Zitf
Dufore, of Hose Cart No. 12, saw the
accident, and says that nobody was to
blame except the dead man for not look
ing to see whether or not another car
was coming. A number of people called
at the hospital last night, but up to
midnight no one had been able to iden
tify the dead man.
DOINGS OF THE DAY.
