COUNCIL RIFF RAFF.
Supt. Gross Is Not to Be Investi-
gated---NO Street Commission
INlnntod

Supt. Gross Is Not to Be Investi-
gated---No Street Commission
ers Elected.
The city council yesterday did not
elect street commissioners after all.
There was great deal of business, and
adjournment was taken at the request
of Mayor Ames to Monday afternoon,
when matter of great public import
ance is to be considered.
The effort to ''do. up'' Supt. Gross, of
the work house, fell short. After the
reading of the communication from the
grand jury, charging him with drunk
ennesS, Aid. Mills moved to table the
communication until specific charges
had been made. Aid. Gibson said
he had known the superintendent
three years and had never seen him in
toXicated. He also knew as physician
that the superintendent was sick with
winter cholera on the occasion men
toned, and was under the influence of
Opiates. Aid. Oswald also asserted that
he had known the superintendent a
long time and never had known him to
drink. After several votes, upon which
the council was evenly divided, Aid.
L'Herault and Erwin not voting, a mo-
by vote of IL to Is.
MISCELLANEOUS MATTERS.
The matter of lowering the Hastings
& Dakota tracks, from Fort avenue to a
point $500 feet beyond Hennepin ave-
nue., was referred to the committee on
railroads and the aldermen from the
Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth and Thir-
teenth wards.
The aldermen are to report as soon as
possible, and, if practicable, by the first
meeting in May, the election precincts
in their respective wards.
City Attorney Smith submitted his
opinion that the expenditures for street
lighting must be confined to S1O,S 800, and
the committee on gas was instructed to
take action accordingly.
The request of Supt. Helm for the rev.
ocation of the license of j. j. McGregor
at First street north, was referred to
the committee on licenses.
Chief Stetson, of the fire department.,
was given a weeks vacation.
The monthly budget of bills amount
ing to $154. 402.H was passed.
The aldermen yesterday paid some at
tentiOn to the newspapers. Aid. L'Her-
ault wanted the day of meeting changed
to Wednesday so the weekly papers
could get in reports of council meetings.
The resolution requiring aldermen to
report precincts in their respective
wards as early as possible was made for
the purpose of obliging the directory
publishing companies.
There was an amusing discussion
over the report of the committee on
public grounds and buildings in favor
of requiring the superintendent of the
poor and city assessor to exchange
rooms. Finally it was decided to give
the assessor the meat inspectors room
on the third floor, and the use of the
large council committee room during
the busy season.

LABOR CANDIDATE.
DIR. Finnegan Says the Working
men Will Nominate a Presiden-
tial Candidate.

DR.. Finnegan Says the Working
men Will Nominate a Presiden-
tial Candidate.
There may be others of the party
who know more of its plans, hopes and
ambitions than DR.. M. P. Finnegan,
the lean and hungry Cassius' of the
Labor party, but there is none who
takes more interest or talks more as
though he had the good of the party at
heart. DIR. Finnegan is quite charac-
ter in his way and "unearned incre-
ment' and economic rent' roll off his
tongue as glibly as though he cut his
baby teeth on Henry Georges works.
Two years ago the Democratic conven-
ton, in moment of temporary aberra-
ton, yielded to a cry for labor candi-
dates and nominated DR.. Finnegan for
coroner. If half of the labor vote had
gone to him he would have been
elected, but he was not and is now
rampant anti-old-party man.
''The labor party will certainly put a
full ticket in the field this year," he
said yesterday, ''from president down,
and the state will be thoroughly can
vassed, too"
''Some of your people say there will
be no ticket this year."
'.Don't care what they say; there
will be ticket"
"But Henry George. whom you have
always sworn by, is for Cleveland, and
the Standard thunders for his plat
FORM"
''It makes no difference, there will be
a labor candidate for president. can't
say that we will have aldermanic candi-
dates in Minneapolis, but l think it is
likely"
500 you expect to elect any of
them?"
''Some of them, certainly. In the
Ninth ward last year we came within
four votes of electing O'Brien, and in
the Eleventh we ran ahead of the Dem
ocratic candidates."
"But don't you know that
your votes in one or two wards
defeated Democrats who would have
supported your measures and let in
Republicans who have always voted
against yOu?"
Eyes, know that, but we have to
turn on the electric light to show how
poor the tallow dip u.s." and the labor
CasSius laughed softly at what he held
to be very apt smile.
"Will your party support Scheffer?"
81 rather think not. Our. candidate
will be man allied to us by deeds
rather than words"
"Will you form combinations with
either of the old parties?"
"Now, we've got enough of that. What
we want is and the doctor went off
into harangue on economic rent.

AN OPEN QUESTION,
Whether Memorial Day Be Cele-
brated Indoors or Ont. FH

A meeting was held last evening at
the Morgan Post hall, of representatives
from the different G. A. R. posts of the.
the city, to decide whether the Memo
rorial services to be held Oh Decoration
day should be held at Layman's ceme-
terry or in hall. There was consider
able discussion among the members on
this subject: some of them thought it
would look as though the q. A. r.
were getting tired of decorating
their comrades graves. A large major
ity were of the opinion that it would
not interfere in the least with the graves
being decorated in the usual way, and
then having the posts march to some
hall, where they could conclude the
ceremonies of the day in much more
impressive manner, and in way that
would be much more suitable to our
climate, than having it out of doors, as
has been the custom heretofore, where
but few persons could hear a word that
was said or see anything done. 1t was
finally voted to leave the matter open
until next Friday evening, when it is
expected an expression from each of the
posts on this matter can be obtained.

Costly Syringes.
Philadelphia Times.

PhlladeIph1a Times.
The morphia habit among women is
much more common in Philadelphia
than many suppose. Even in the late
severe weather women, young and old,
could be seen hurrying to the drug
stores, and in most cases the only medi-
cine they were after was morphia in its
different forms. The most fashionable
method of indulgence is by hypodermic
injection, and some of the syrlnges used
are gold and silver mounted, and both
extensive and elaborate.

MISS PoTTER's BENEFIT.
She Is rendered an Ovation at
the PeODIe's Theater

the feOpleS IneaCer.
The Peoples theater was packed al
most to suffocation last evening upon
the occasion of the testimonial benefit
to Miss Jennie O'Neill Potter, when she
appeared in the title role of ''Fanchon,
the Cricket" The little lady's friends
were out in force, and she was called
before the curtain number of times,
receiving besides a number of floral
tributes from local societies. Probably no
one has ever received more fiattering
greeting in the history of Minneapolis.
Several hundred people were unable to
gain admission and standing room sold
at a premium as early as O'clock. Miss
Potter'S ''Fanchon" exceeded the ex-
pectation of her most sanguine adj
mirers. She seems to have the true
conception of the part, and in the
lighter veins was particularly agreeable.
Her support was very fair, Edwin Bar
bour appearing as Father Barbecue, j.
B. Brown as Landry and Wallace Shaw
as Didier.
In order to accommodate the friends
of Miss Potter, who failed to gain adj
mission last evening, the piece will be
produced again this evening, instead of
"COlleen BaWn.'

The trial Of Walter +. Treadwell,
charged with the murder of his partner,
Charlie Clark, is now in progress at
Anthony. The dispositions of Mrs.
Treadwell, from whom defendant was
divorced last fall, created the greatest
interest. She swears that Clark Sc
duced her two or three years ago; that
their unholy relations existed contin-
uously until a few days prior to the
killing; that after she secured her di-
vorce and went to Chicago, Clark fol-
lowed her and they were together
frequently, She now claims that she
loved Treadwell, but imagined that he
did not care for her, while Clark com
pletely infatuated her. 1t appears that
Mrs. Treadwell went to Iowa to attend
Clark's funeral; but his folks requested
that she absent herself. This brought
out the truth of the old adage, Hell
hath no fury like q woman scorned, +"
and this tickle person at once turned
against the family of her dead lover
and IS now engaged in the endeavor to
save his enemy and murderer, her
divorced husband. This is certainly a
strange case, and there Is 10 telling
what may be the outcome. Many be-
lleve, however. that if Treadwell is
acquitted that he will remarry the
woman who caused all the trouble.

1t should be the aim Of every citizen
To talk only good of his county and
town. No matter If times are a little
dull just now, we are no worse off than
any other locality, east or west. and 10
good citizen will profit by running down
his community. 1t is not an unusual
thing to hear that Medicine Lodge Is
lifeiess, because some one industry is
not booming and yet there is no time in
the year when every trade is rushing.
Because there are no saloons running,
is no sign Of dull times; but rather an
indication that the people are saving
their money or investing it in a more
substantial way. Our observation is
that the farmers and producers are to-
day laying the foundation for more
substantial prosperity than at any time
in the history of Barber county. Next
fall they will bave something to sell
and therefore they will have money. If
they have money they will spend it. If
they spend it our merchants will pros
per, and then the town will again take
on AN air of activity. But we must be
patient and economical. We can't get
rich in day.

The deadlock in the house Of repre-
sentatives was broken last Thursday,
by the democrats uniting on a motion
to adjourn. The direct tax bill, over
which the trouble arose. was a bill TO
refund to the states that paid it, the
direct tax levied by the government i'm
1861, for the expenses of the war. The
states that seeded did not, of course,
pay any OF the tax. and would get moth
ing. Tue bill was introduced by the
opponents of tariff reduction. They
want to get rid of the surplus in the
treasury, so they will have some ground
for fighting reduction. II is a repub-
lican scheme. and is worthy the party
that would rob the country for party
purposes. The bill was only the enter
ing wedge; other bills were ready to
follow, which would have swamped the
treasury
