STATE INQUIS|T!QN.
The Grand Jury Will Begin
Grinding in the District
Court To-Day.
A Big Batch Of Famous Cases
Will Be Thoroughly In
vestigated.
Physicians Attempt to Palm
Off Scarlet Fever as Sore
Throat.
Austin Proudfit, Of Minneap-
oils, Suddenly Dies at
Madison, Wis.

The December term of court begins
to-day and the grand jury will assemble
at 10 o'clock. Judge Lochren will try
the criminal cases this term and will
deliver the charge to the grand jury. 1t
is expected that his charge Will be
severe as the last grand jury was rather
lax in its Investigations and in cOnse-
quence there has been an alarming in
crease in the number of crimes
committed. The county Jail at the
present time contains more persons
awaiting the action OF the grand jury
than at any time heretofore in the his
tory of the county. Some of the mem
bers Of the last grand jury seek to eX-
cuse themselves by saying that scarcely
any Of the persons against whom they
returned indictments were convicted.
Such an excuse however does not help
them in the least for if they do their
duty they are not anSWerable II the
county attorney fails to properly prose-
cute the eases.
One of the most interesting cases to
be considered is that against Mrs. l. q
mont, the fortune teller. charged with
kidnapping Miss Della Smiths infant
Chill. IL Is CADCCltu IllGt IDtlC VIII NC
some new and decidedly interesting de-
velopmentS i'll the case if it ever comes
to trial. Mrs. Lamont is at present in
st. raul, where she is Taking in the dol
lars of unsophisticated country maids
and yerdant farmers. Then the case
against Theodore Shotwell, charged
with obtaining money under false pre-.
lenses while member of the firm OF
Shotwel. Clerihew q Lothman, will
probably come up, as it was not touched
at all by the last grand jury. "Pri-
yate Detective Eugene A. Basset
has been held to the grand jury on
two counts, selling mortgaged property
and horse stealing, and it is more than
probable that the grand jury will not
have to spend much time on him. What
makes this horse stealing case particu-
larry interesting is the charge that he
hired a man to steal the horses, so that
he might arrest him and thus get the
state reward of $500. There will be the
usual number Of "blind pig" bastardy
and larceny cases, and it is not at all
improbable that the gambling house
matter will be brought up, as Frank
Tierney was held to the grand jury on
a charge of beating Morris Lavigne out
of some $500 at faro at 205 NicOllet ave-
nue., when there was gambling house
there. The Furnished Om'' matter
will, no doubt, receive proper attention,
but it is thought that the keepers of the
places on First street will not be mo-

TOO LATE.
SO No Changes Will Be Made in
the Police Force.

1t was expected that the meeting of
tue board of police commissioners yes
terday afternoon would be a somewhat
lively one. as Commissioner Hay, who,
together with Mayor Ames, has been
absent from nearly all the meetings for
more than month past, were present.
But there was nothing special done.
however. and the general belief that no
changes of any kind will be made until
after Mayor-Elect Babb has taken
the seat now occupied by Mayor Ames.
At the meeting yesterday, the case
against PatrOlman John B. Cronin, of
the Third precinct station, charged
with being absent without leave, was
taken up, and the patrolman was re-
moved from the force. his discharge
dating from Nov. T. The committee on
claims and accounts, presented bills for
November amounting to $s0s.22, and
the pay roll. amounting to S13,312.69,
which were ordered paid. The report
of the superintendent of police showed
that during the month Just past, there
had been made 56S arrests; that the in
spectorS had made IS arrests, and had
recovered S3.439.3S worth of property,
and that Police Surgeon Kelly had
made III calls on officers, and at the
central station.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Mai. BasSett certainly has the popular
side of the railroad controversy i'll and
out of the board af trade. The time has
gone when anyone will imagine that a
railroad is laid into Minneapolis as a
matter of accommodation, Or will run
trains in and out as mere compliment.
They came here for the business there
is in it, and will come in spite of all
present obstacles, just so long as that
business is worth coming after. Min
neapolis wants the railroads, but the
railroads also want Minneapolis.

Fritz Gellerup's new paper, the Radi-
cal Review, is a fair exponent of Fritz's
own ideas. 1t is anarchistic-as Fritz
views anarchy--from title to foOtlines.
He says the time has come when the
radicals of the great central district of
the Union, the mighty Mississippi val
ley. must organize for liberty" He
wants all Incorporating policies done
away with, likewise all "servile cring-
ing at the feet of enthroned wrong"
And finally he wants ''Our banner
lifted into the sun-kisSed air." He
does not want much.

Tie Tribune proceeded yesterday to
announce as fact that President Cleve
land intended making Minneapolis his
future home. OF course it WAS untrue.
but imagine the elephantine nerve of
the Tribune in saying so! President
Cleveland doubtless admired Minneap-

recollections OF Il city in which he and
his wife, as guests of the people. were
coarsely and wantoniy insulted by this

A leading minister is endeavoring to
revive what some have been pleased to
magnify INTO a war against the Sunday
newspapers, and wants them abolished.
The ministers evidently look upon the
Sunday paper as rival, and seem to
vainly imagine that with its suppression
people may be forced to seek the sanctu-
airy because of a lack of somthing
more interesting to do. The. cor
rectness or incorrectness of the theory
will probably never be demonstrated:

CALLED SUDDENLY.
Austin Proudfit Dies at Madison,
Wis.

The news of the death of Austin
Proudfit, chief clerk of the purchasing
agents department of the Minneapolis
& Sault Ste. Marie railroad, at Madison,
Wis, was in the nature of shock to
his many friends in Minneapolis.
He went to Madison, where his
parents reside, to spend Thanksgiving,
and had been complaining of not feel
ing we'll for few days previous to his
death. No intimation as to the nature
of his illness had been received up to
last evening, but it is surmised that his
death was caused by heart disease. The
deceased was an exemplary young
man, and brother of Stanley Proud
fit, assistant general freight agent
of the Omaha road. He had resided
in Minneapolis about q year and was
very popular. In fact, few young men
possess toa greater degree the faculty
of acquiring the friendship of their as
sociates than he. In railroad circles he
was regarded as possessing unusual
ability and was looked upon as having
a bright future before him. His funeral
will take place at Madison and is set
for tomorrow.

let Fever as Sore Throat.
A somewhat peculiar case has come
to the notice Of the health department,
and the chances are that some one will
have to do some lively explaining be-
fore many days have gone 10y. One day
last week notice to the effect that
Florence McClausen had scarlet fever at
500 Pierce street was sent IN to the
health office and record was made of
it. Saturday Dr.. Legault, an East
side physician, came to the health
office, and presenting death Ger
tifcate, which stated that Florence Nc
Clausen had died of sore throat' at
$40 Fillmore street, tried to get burial
permit. Or. Kiivington refused to ac-
cept "sore throat as the cause of
death, and then DE-. Legault scratched
out the two words and wrote in their
place scarlet fever" The burial per-
nit was then issued, as was also letter
to the undertaken. directing him not to
allow public funeral, as the family
had wished. DR.. Legault will be asked
to explain why he did not fill out the
certificate properly in the first place,
and why he attempted to secure pub
lie funeral when such thing was for
hidden by law. =.
1--WE will fully investigate this case"
said Health Officer Kilvington last even
ing, "and place the blame where it be-
longs. Nearly every doctor in the city
is cooperating with the health depart
ment in its endeavor to stop the spread
of contagious diseases, and there is no
reason why every one should not join
with the board. There is only one
undertaken in the city who is not in full
sympathy with us, and he is gradually
coming to time. This idea of holding a
public funeral when a person dies Of
contagious disease is thing OF the past,
and the board of health will vigorously
prosecute the first person found trying
to eyade the law"

oEFrCIAL AMENITIES.

When Hon. Andrew r. McGill, the
gifted cditer of the st. Peter Tribune,
entered upon the discharge of the duties
of the Office of governor. 1t was his Gus
tom, when pardons of criminals We're
asked, to consult the county attorneys
who had prosecuted the cases, as to
whether or not. in their opinion. par
dons should be granted. This is evil
dent from a number Of letters in the
possession of County Attorney Davis,
in which advice is asked for.
"What were the facts?" asked
the governor. In your judg-
ment was the sentence too severe?" and
other inquiries. going to show that his
excellency really desired to post HIM
self concerning the merits of the cases.
He seems to have ceased to follow out
this rule something like year ago,
however. When Attorney Davis was
asked to sign an application for the
pardon of Cantieny he refused, but
finally said he would not oppose the
movement. Judge Koon, who SEN
fenced Cantieny, said the same thing
substantially, and finally reduced it to
writing. This Mr.. Davis Endorsed as
follows: 81 have no desire to place any
obstacle in the way of executive Glenn
ency if the governor shall feel
disposed to exercise it, Cantieny
was pardoned, nevertheless, and Mr..
Davis let it be known that he did not
exactly approve of it whereupon Gov.
McGill arose in his awful dignity aud,
through the humble medium OF the Min

was not aware that he was Irresponsible
to Mr.. Davis for his official acts" ''1f
the public knew how many times have
refused 10 commute that young mans
sentence" said he. 1.-The people would
have no more patience than have with
this Davis"
Mr.. Davis satirically remarked yes
terday: "The people in their conven-
tons seem to have more patience with
this Davis than they have with Gov.
McGill, for have at least never been
laid out when / came before them as a
candidate for Office" He further conf

SMALL, BUT SOAKED.
A Midget Who Surprised a Police
Officer

While Patrolman Mcnamara was
walking down Washington avenue last
evening he saw what he supposed to be
boy about eight or nine years of age
staggering along. Six-foot Tom walked
up to him, and reaching down, placed
one hand on the ''boy's'' shoulder.
''See here, sonny" said he, ''you had
better let me take you home."
The ''boy" looked up, and the patrol
man then saw that he was negro
about thirty-five years of age with
heavy mustache.
sDoau you go for to call me sonny"
shouted the midget, whose head barely
came to the officers waist, "I'se no
spring chicken, sab. I'se a man, sab,
and in Canada I'se got wife and eleven
chilen. sah."
The patrolman walked his prisoner to
the central station and booked him for
drunk. The negro was so short that he
could not see over the top of the rail
which enclosed the jailor's desk at the
station, and in all probability he will
have to stand on chair when he Is
taken before Judge Bailey this morn
ing. His height is three feet one inch.
but he is remarkably well-proportioned.

Catarrh

Is complaint which affects nearly every
body more or less. 1t originates in cold. er
succession of colds, combined with impure
blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose,
tickling in the throat, offensive breath, pain
over and between the eyes. ringing and
bursting noises in the ears, are the more
common symptoms. Catarrh is cured by
Hood S Sarsaparilla, which strikes directly at
its cause by removing all impurities from
the blood, building up the diseased tissues
and giving healthy tone to the whole system.
For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh l took Hoods Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. 1t cured me of that con-
tinual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up
