BIG MONEY IN THIS.
An Opportunity to Double Your Money
Any Time Without Risk.
One of the Most Elegant Bar Outfits to
Be Sold at Great Sacrifice.

Those who have ever visited the sam
pie room of A. II. Knowles, 81 Washing
ton avenue south, and taken note of the
bar, mirrors. sidebOard, showcase,
screen and other appurtenanceS con-
tanned therein, are convinced that they
are the finest and most complete west
of Chicago. In minor details a doubt
is expressed if any sample room i'm the
Lake City equals them, and yet the en-
tire outfit is to be sold prior to Feb. in
order to vacate the premises on that
date. The bar is twenty-fOur feet long
and made of solid mahogany, the upper
part being single piece of this expen-
sive wood. without crack or blemish,
while the front is laid of in panels COW
cred with hand-carved figures of vari-
Gus designs. The inner part of the
bar is treated in the same artistic
manner, and contains every convenience
pertaining to a frSt-claSS bar. The
mirror is the largest and most expensive
one of the kind in the country, being
divided into one central plate glass
96X120 inches, with q counterpart on
either side 72X96 inches, making total
glass area of 2,112 square inches, and
the entire surface Is surmOunted by a
heavy, ornate, hand-carved mahogany
top with an exceedingly unique cornice,
artistically hand carved into fruits,
bulbs, etc., while the ends are sup
ported by mahogany pilasters with pol
ished columns at either side of the CEN
trail pier. The wide counter at the base
of the glass is of the same material as
the bar. and underneath are closets and
drawers, hid from view by deep, inlaid
panels of hand-carved doors, which
swing upon brass hinges and locked
with polished brass catches. There is a
sideboard of unique and attractive de-
sign of mahogany and plate glass, with
ornate cOrnice, base and sides, and pol
iShed columns in the center. There is
also beveled plate glass screen of 576
inches, encaSed in an antique oak frame
with heavy cOrnice and pilasters;
showcase IL feet in length, whose glass
is solid plate without break, while
every article of furniture is replete TO
correspond with their surroundings.
The cost of this outfit was over &, 900,
but in order to close it out by the date
specified great sacrifice will be made,
hence any one desiring the finest and
most complete bar outfit in the country
will make big money by seeing A. II.
Knowles at 81 Washington avenue
south.

DANGER IN DELAY.
The Government is Recognizing
the City'S Postal Importance.

The Government is Recognizing
the City's Postal Importance. 4
1t appears that at last the authorities
at Washington have arrived at realii
cation of the growth and Importance, in
postal sense, OF Minneapolis. Every
body here knows, and has been endeav-
Oring to impress the pOstOffice authori-
ties with the fact that the government
building now under way will be far too
small to meet the demand upon it, but
up to this time the effort has
been fruitless. Now it appears that
E. Z. Bassford, the supervising archi-
tect, has convinced the department
something should be done. He has writ
ten Postmaster Ankeny that Mr.. Lin
ton, of the treasury department, has eX-
pressed his willingness to act in the
matter as soon as the Minnesota delega-
ton makes the demand. Mir. Ankeny
has laid the matter before the board of
trade, and action will be taken OH Mon
day next.
The only step possible is to buy all
or a portion of the Washburn property,
lying on Third street and Second ave-
nue.. The alley blocks the way on First
avenue. If the government proposes to
buy, it should lose no time, as that
piece is rapidly increasing in value and
will not he cheaper. Gen. WaShburn
asked $215, 900 for it last fall, which is
nearly S100.O00 more than he paid for it,
something over year ago. Of course
the government could condemn what
was needed, but the price would be a
round one under any circumstances.

A GRAND SUCCESS.
The NOrmanna Society Fair One
of the Best Ever Held.

To simply say that the Normanna
fair at Turner hall is drawing crowds
would not be doing the sub
ject full justice, for the hall is
packed full all the time. Last
evening was no exception, and at
9 o'clock it was difficult to walk the
length of the building without meeting
about 200 very handsome young ladies
and any number of gentlemen. The
thirteen booths are most handsomely
arranged and present as pretty a sight
as one often sees. Each booth repre-
sents different nation, and the young
lady in charge of each is dressed in the
most picturesque costume of the coun-
try she represents. The young ladies,
without exception, are bright-eyed, rosy
checked lasSes, and to pause in front of
one of the stands for moment is fol-
lowed Immediately by purchase of
some of the articles displayed. "Minne-
apolis at Night continues to excite the
curiosity of the audience, and
no one yet has regretted the eXpendi-
ture of the 10 cents necessary to see the
latter dark workings of great city,"
It's great and has never been eQualed
by any similar exhibition in the city. G..
Gjertsen made the address last evening.

ONCE MORE.
The New Pumping Station to Be
Built BY the Day.

Aid. Mills, from the committee on
water works, submitted reports that
bids for the building of the North Min
neapolis pumping station should be
rejected and the work done by the day.
He stated that the lowest bid was $42,-
900, while the city engineers estimate
was that the building could be built by
day labor for 1896 less.
Aid. BarrowS, as member of the
committee, spoke in general way
against day work, and was sustained by
Aid. +. M. Johnson, as usual, who made
some sweeping charges against the
manner in which water and sewer
mains had been laid during the past
summer. Aids. Gibson, Dwyer, L'Her-
ault and Gibson on the contrary were
convinced that the days work system
was the cheapest and the best.
Aid. Johnson want to ask the city
engineer whether the interests of the
city will be best subServed by the con-
tract or day work system.
President Mareck-I do not consider
that proper question.
Aid. Dwyer-Neither do /, and l OBJ
ject to it being answered.
Aid. JOhnSon-And l object to the
president or any alderman of this coun-
Gil ulctatlng the manner In which
shall ask for information. If this is a
court I'll note an exception and appeal
to the supreme court. I'll withdraw
my question, and ask the city engineer
whether, in his estimate, he figured
upon eight or ten hours as constituting
a days work.
Engineer Rinker said he had based
his estimate upon eight hours. The
usual eight-hOur discussion followed.
Aid. Gibson said it was clear that con-
tractors made a margin which was saved
TO the city by the days work system.
Aid. L'Herault wanted to know why S.
Z. Cutler should be given a l0luS of
1895, when an inspector would have to
be appointed to watch him, and made
some cauStic illusions to the
city hall repairs job. Aid. Mills wound
up with an effort to show that Solomon
had built his temple by the days work,
and had set an example for the city
council of Minneapolis TO follow. The
motion to build the station by the days
work then carried by vote of 20 to II,
the Democrats voting sOlidly for it, and
the Republicans, with the exception of
Aid. SwenSon, gainst it.
The contract for furnishing water
pipe specials was then let to Harry E.
McCamy.

Yesterdays session of the city council
Was a lengthy one, but its monotony
was SO varied by sharp discussions of
important measures and spicy repartee
that the time passed rapidly. 1t was a
red-letter day for the day's-work advo-
Gates, who won several points to the
evident delight of the lobby, which was
crowded with working men.
Action upon the mayors veto of the
ordinance requiring snow and ice to be
removed from sidewalks 3pd streets
was deferred to next meeting after some
discussion. In his veto his honor noted
that alleys are spoken of as "oppo-
site sidewalks and Streets" while
Sixth avenue Is not designated
as being either north or south.
He objected TO the provision that no
corporation or person shall sprinkle salt
upon the streets except the street rail-
way and the motor line upon the ground
that ii would work discrimination. He
also thought the provision empowering
aldermen to have streets sprinkled with
sand unadviSable. and suggested that
sand might be difficult TO procure when
the snow is five feet deep on the level.

held at the West hotel. An elaborate
menu was discussed after which came
informal responses to toaStS, the sing

stories and revival of the memories of
alma mater.
Letters were received from Hon. w.

in the Northwest. One from President

claims for recognition upon the broad
basis of American citizenship; that
claims based upon anything else were
false, and merited no attention. "We
are entitled to recognition" said he,
because we are citizens of the United
States, and have helped in keeping the
glorious stars and stripes untarnished.

it not on mere narrow national senti-
ment, but first and foremost as

motion that the committee should be
authorized to consider the advlsability
of the purchase of a site and the cree
ton of municipal court building.
Aid. E. NJ. johnson wanted to know if

not going to provide quarters for the

no action taken until the plans for the
new building had beeu inspected. The
matter was indefinitely postponed by a
vote of % to 6. A second motion from
Aid. Gilman to refer Mr.. Loring's two
propositions to the committee with
power to act prevailed after considera-
bic discussion of desultory nature.

THE DAYS WORK.
The Majority Reported Adopted
Despite the CITY Attorney.

Despite the City Attorney.
The street sprinkliDg question again
came I'D and was fought over for an
hour, Aids. Jim Johnson and Mills dis
secting the city charter, and hurting
chunks of legal knowledge at the de-
fenseless aldermen. The oracle, City
Attorney Smith, was consulted and
stated that there was neither the means
nor authority to use either the sprlnk-
ling or ward funds to purchase and
maintain sprinkling carts. He did not
consider it practicable to say that
sprinkling should be done by the days
work exclusively.
Aid. Dwyer-Well, We'll do it.
Aid. Mills-The Third ward will do it
if we have to borrow the money and
We'll save enough in one summer to
pay for the carts and sprinkling and
have enough to pay for our sprinkling
the year following.
Aid. johnson finally moved the sub
stitutiOn of the minority report of the
committee OH water works, drawn up
by the city attorney, which cOntempla-
ted leaving it to the different wards as
to whether sprinkling should be done
by the contract or days work systems.
This was lost by vote of 10 to II. Aid
Mills then moved the previous question,
which brought up the majority report
by which sprinkling by the days work
is required. When the vote was being
taken Aid. Morse explained his vote in
the negative by saying, while in favor
of the resolution, he feared it would i'm
peril the system of collecting the sprink-
ling tax. Aid. Parker gave the same
reason, and Aid. E. NJ. Johnson tragic
ally exclaimed that his oath, as an al
derman, required him to vote in the
negative. Aid. Clark voted with the
Democrats, and the vote stood 10 to ~.
Aid. Mills then moved to reconsider for
and the resolution was lost by vote of
Is to Is.

A Military Rail.

1t is safe to say that the pleasantest
event of last evening was the ball given
by Company A at MalcOlm's Dancing
academy. The guests, which numbered
about seventy couples, including few
from st. Paul, began to arrive
at o'clock and few minutes
later the dancing began which
occupied the time during the
evening. The hall was not decorated,
but the tine-lOoking, beautiful uniforms,
together with the beautiful faces, made
up for the lack of decorations. The
guests were composed of business

MUST BE JUST SO.
Aid. Downs Lays Down the Rules
and Regulations.

The bill of Mayor Ames of s79 for
services in setting the leg of Andrew
Giskey OccasiOned something of furry.
Aid. Downs, as member of the COM
mittee on claims, wanted the bill re-
ferred to the supervisors of the poor
upon the technical ground that the bill
had not passed through the proper
channel. Aid. Stoft explained that the
man was city employe who had been
injured in sewer. 1t was no particular
favor to DIR. Ames for the city to pay
the bill, but it was question of expedi-
ency as to whether the city was not saw
ing money by having the man taken
care of and thus avoid a damage suit.
In the debate which followed those great
sticklers for red tape, Aid. Downs and
johnson, fought to have the bill re-
ferred, but were defeated by vote of
IL to -. A motion to pay the bill re-
ceived the same vote, which did not give
a sufficient majority to authorize the
drawing of warrant. Aid. Mills gave
notice of motion to reconsider.

that the matter of peremptory writ of
mandamus from the district court COM
pelling the city comptroller to pay SIG
with interest and costs to f. w. Cook
for land taken for the opening of
Twenty-eighth street, should be re-
ferred to the city attorney, kindled
the wrath of Aid. Mills
who said: Certain aldermen seem TO
regard the city attorney as the execu-
tive branch of the city government, and
are i'll the habit of asking his opinion
upon almost every matter that comes
before us. l don't object to his being
consulted upon legal questions, but
don't care about his private opinions. He
has lost this case once in the courts.
Why ask his opinion about it again?
If his private opinions are to guide this
council we might as we'll go home"
Aid. johnson, SarcaStically-If all of
us were as learned in the law as the
aldermen from the Third ward we might
not need the advice of the city attorney.
but we are laymen. and | am sorry we
have not sought his opinions more fire.
quently in the past. am not astOnished
that the alderman should object to the
city attorney being consulted, since he
has brought measures before. this
council which he knew to be illegal
and tried to railroad through.
Aid. MillS-I call the gentleman TO
order.
Aid. JohnsOn-I've got through.
Aid. Mills (eXcitedly)-When you say
l have brought measures before the
council you say what is false. and | de-
mand that you apologize. Will you do
it?
The stalwart alderman from the Third
ward grew very white in the face. and
Stalked over to Aid. Johnson's desk,
shaking his finger savagely in danger
Gus proximity to the face of the obese
alderman from the Second ward. He
continued to calculate, Twill you do it?
will you do it?''
Aid. Johnson-If l said that I'll
change it. l say that you have intro
duced measures which the common
sense OF this council deemed illegal.
Aid. MillS-All right. | am satisfied
with that.
Thus war was averted, but for few
moments it looked as though an encoun-
ter, of personal and physical nature,
would take place. The spectators held
their breath while the dramatic scene
was enacted. So thoroughly aroused
and eXasperated did Aid. Mills appear.
that the presence of a couple of inspect
tors from police headquarters was pro-
cured. The matter concerning which
the row was OccasiOned was referred to
the city attorney and the committee on
taxes. Within few minutes both al
dermen seemed to forget the unpleas-
antneSS, although made some sarcastic
illusions to each other later on.
