w. F. Mccarthy, the young Republican
aspirant for the Office of register of deeds,

yesterday said he proposed to lay the matter

ton.
Frank S. Mcdonald has announced himself
out in the state field for auditor, with the
sole design of saving Hennepin county q

nevolent intention cannot be laid at any

say that the true reason for this announce

THE SAWMILLS.
Their Value Deprecated by the SUI
nrene Court Decision.

1--WE are here because we don't want to pay
taxes on other mems property" said John
De Laittre to the board OF equalization yes
terday. ''When we bought the sawmill sites
1t was the understanding that the sawmills
should get such power as was necessary to
run the mills. No one in those days knew
much about water power, SO it was putin the
deeds that so cubic feet per second with SO
feet head was sufficient, and third more.
If we had known then that this was not
enough we could have got more. Now it APP
pears that in running our mills we have used
from $50 to $50 cubic feet per second. The
mill company, therefore, applied to the courts
to have US permanently enjOined from using
more water power than the deeds called for.
We also petitioned the courts to have
the deeds reformed on the ground that
it was the understanding that we were to
have all the power we needed. The supreme
court has just decided against us, holding
that the language of the deeds must stand.
The injunction asked for by the water power
company is refused, the court considering
that we bought the mill sites in good faith
and are therefore entitled to the privilege of
renting what extra power we need. Now
with fifty cubic feet per second we can't saw
Il log. We have got to rent more power and
we object TO paying lakes upon this power
that we shall rent. This decision of the court
detracts from the value of our property, as a
mill without sufficient power is practically
valueless."
Aid. Morse-How much should be rebated?
Mr.. De Laittre-What do you assess other
water powers that are not in use?
Assessor Case-They are assessed as par
of the realty.
De Laittre-That's it. Jim HILL who owns
three unused water powers. pays $4,000 for the
same thing on which we are assessed SIS, 900.
Why is this?
Aid. Lawrence-For the reason that we
wouldn't assess your mill if it had no water
power.
After some further dispute, Mr.. De Lait-
tire stated that he thought the assessment
on his mill should be cut down from $50,
900 to $40 600. Finally the assessment on
each of the five mill sites in use on the
East side was reduced SIS. 600, OF from $780,
600 to $22. 600. a proposition to make up
for abatement by increasing the assessment
upon the three unused East side water
powers owned by j. j. Hill, from SIS, 600 to
$12, 600 each was next considered. but no
decisive action was reached.

AN OLD FRIEND.
Officer Simon S,mOnson Reinstated
in the Second Precinct

Officer Simon S,mOnson Reinstated
in the Second Precinct.
Charges have been preferred against
Officer Simon Simonson of the Second pre-
cinct station, and he was to have been in
vestigated yesterday but Capt. Bosworth
and the mayor did not happen to meet
The result was Simonson made statement
and the suspension ordered by Capt. Bos-
worth was revoked. The officer was charged
with leaving his beat repeatedly while on
duty and visiting 2arties and balls for hours
at time, and aIsb with inducing a fellow
officer to accompany him. The captain is
sued strict orders forbidding a recurrence,
but on Sunday morning at 3 o'clock the
officer was seen to walk up to woman
who was accompanied by young man, and
take the woman from her escort and &C
company her to the officers own house.
Mrs Simonson is absent from the city, and
the circumstance, which was at once re-
ported to Capt. Bosworth, appeared quite
suspicious. Indeed similar occurrence
had previously been reported to the captain.
The officer was suspended, and yesterday
he delivered up his club, star, whistle and
other city effects to the colonel of police,
supposing evidently that his time had come.
He finally explained to the mayor that the
woman in the case is Emma Jones, an init
mate friend of Mrs. Simonson, and that she
had called him to take her away from her
escort, and furthermore that he was guilt
less of wrong doing. The suspension was
revoked without further investigation.

A BAD DAY OF THE WEEK.

Nj onday.-NOtes OF the Progress of
Building and Exhibits.

The Exposition Opening will DC.
cur, With Stately Program. ON
MOnday--NOtes of the Progress of
Building and Exhibits.
The Exposition is ito open on Aug. %,
and as that day is Monday, it occurred to
the board of directors at yesterdays meet
ing that it would be a difficult matter to
get people from the outside on that date,
especially if they lived more than three
hours away. Mr.. Washburn called this
up. and the board discussed it at length.
1t was the unanimous opinion that the
opening day should be characterized by
some splendid and stately program, and the
directors would not listen to proposition
to have the program deferred. Supt.
Hubbard said the day advertised must be
observed as the opening, and especially as
this was the first day. 1t was found it was
a mistake to have selected Monday as the
opening day, but as long as it had been
selected and advertised, it will be so car
ried out, and the day will be made memoir
able by grand program.
An important matter is the street car ar
rangement, Mr.. Lowry proposing to throw
every line over to the Exposition. He
wrote the board yesterday that he found
that, in order to do this, he must get the
right of way and lay track on Nicollet ave-
nue., from Washington to Bridge square.
The board has no control of this, and the
matter will be referred to the council.
Subscriptions to the amount of $1,250
were reported, and bills aggregating $685.
355.37 were ordered paid. The Minneapo-
lis Stereopticon company wants to give an
entertainment. Supt. Hubbard has re-
turned from Iowa. The Nicollet Avenue
Illuminat ting association has begun general
canvass, in order to raise the balance neces-
sary for the perfection of the scheme. The
Journal has taken $1,000 of stock. The
Athenan collection of casts has arrived in
New York. and the German collection is
daily expected. This last will complete
the lot. Exhibits will begin coming in the
first part of next week. The tower is now
ready for the final wood work.
Yesterday w. w. Sly gave an exhibition of
the fre-proof qualities Of the paint to be used
in the building 1t was entirely satisfactory,
and public test will be made on Bridge
square to-day. All applications for space are
now being merely filed, and space not occu-
pied by Aug. Is, will be forfeited. The Mani
toba spur track will be completed in two

A BRIDGE SUICIDE.
A Once Fascinating Member of the
Deni- Monde Leaps Into the River.
After a Quarrel With Her Lover She
P1unges from the East Side Bridge.

About 10 o'clock last night Pearl Foster,
an inmate of Nettie Connelly's bagnio,
committed suicide by throwing herself into
the river from the bridge OH Central avenue,
near the Second precinct police station.
A young man, William Foster, with
whom she has been intimate
for some weeks, was a few
feet behind her and says she placed her
hands on the railing and vaulted over with
out saying word. Miss Foster was a
handsome blonde of 20 years and originally
came from st. Louis She has only been
in Minneapolis five weeks.
Yesterday afternoon she was out at the
lake with Foster, returning about o'clock
last evening. She was taken to the house,
while Foster returned the horse to the
stable on the West side. Not returning as
soon as he might, the girl became impa-
tent and started out to look for him. She
met him on Central avenue and the
two returned again to the house.
AS soon as she entered she
threw herself into chair and
began sobbing. On being asked by the
hOusekeeper to dress herself for the even
ing she replied that she did not care to dress
any better than she was and rushed from
the house. Her lover followed her, and
was but few feet behind her on the bridge
when she jumped.
''Oh, my God" said he to reporter
who called at the Connolly house to see
him. II will never forget the splash in the
water. know of no reason why she should
have done that. We had had no trouble of
any kind and I gave her everything she
wanted. We had been at the lake all day.
and had been drinking some but
not a cross word did we have. 1
was going to take her away from here
in short time. Oh. it's terrible" and the
young man broke down and wept like a
child. His grief was terrible to witness.
Il cannot imagine what caused poor Pearl
to kill herself" said Nettie Connolly, the
keeper of the house where the girl lived.
''She was one Of the best girls ever knew,
always bright and pleasant, but inclined to
be little extravaganza When she came in
from her ride she acted in a somewhat Pc
culiar manner, but she said nothing that
would lead me to think she was going to kill
herself. She was crying when she left the
house. and she said she was only going out
for short time. l don't know what her
right name was.''
A search was at once begun for the
drowned girl, but up to II o'clock the body
had not been found. The water is very
deep at the point where she threw herself
in, and there is a strong probability that
the body may have been carried down a
considerable distance by the strong current.

For the Exposition.

WASHINGTON, July 27.-.The house
committee on ways and means has author
lied favorable report on the bill granting
free admission to goods imported for the
Minneapolis exposition. Senator Malone,
from the committee on public buildings.
to-day reported favorably McMillan's bill
to increase the limit of the Minneapolis
public buildings to $650,000. The report
says the object of the increase is to permit
the use of granite in the superstructure.
1t was found that the estimated cost would
not permit the acceptance of any bid fol
granite, and in view or the vigorous climate
of Minneapolis it would seem advisable in
the construction of so costly building to
use the material which will best withstand
the variable weather of Minnesota.
