A MATTER OF SITE.
The Court House Commission
Wants One for a Steam Heating
DIant- R0ndc and Gidc

The Court House Commission
Wants One for a Steam Heating
PIant-Bonds and Bids.
The court house commission held a
long and important session yesterday
afternoon. There were present Messrs.
Day, Dawson, Bigelow and President
Smith. A resolution was adopted au-
thoriZing the issuance of 100000 court
house and city hall bonds. DR.. Day in
troduced the following resolution,
which was carried:
Resolved, That the county commits
sionerS and the board of aldermen be
required to provide room either Oh the
northeast corner of the court house
square or on one of the adjoining cor
nerS of Fifth and Cedar streets, for the
purpose of erecting the steam heating
plant for the court house and city hall.
Resolved, That in case no provision
is made, as above specified, the COM
mission will be forced to proceed to
erect said heating plant Oh the south
east corner of the court house block,
same being an undesirable location.
At this point the committee went into
executive session to consider bids for the
furnishing of CRATES and marble VAIN
scoting for the new court house. After
full and deliberate consideration of
the merits of the various bidders it was
moved by Mr. Dawson that the bid of j.
Z. Tostevin for ventilating CRATES be
accepted. The motion was unani-
mously carried. Mr.. Tostevin is agent
for the Edward A. jackson & Bro. CRATE.
His bid was the highest, but the COM
mission was of the opinion that the
jackson CRATE was the cheapest for the
money. MI. Tostevin's figures were as
follows:
Luster-fnished CRATES, $3.50 each;
nickel-plate CRATES, $50 EACH The firm
Of Grant, Voss 81 Breese, of Milwaukee,
were awarded the contract for furnish
ing the marble work for the first and
second stories. This firm was the only
one that exhibited specimen of panel
wainscoting, and this fact counted
strongly in their favor. All bids for fur
nishing marble work for the basement
and third floor were rejected. 1t was
decided to advertise for bids for the
supplying of encaustic tile. each bidder
to furnish sample of his work.

The company of local amateurs which

edification of generous public and the
benefit of the Corning Home for News

last evening at Turner hall.
The bill comprised Robertson's
three-act comedy ''Caste" and
the one act farce, "Lend Me Five

many denotementS of pleasure by a
numerous but not over-critical audience5
and the actors played with obvious
earnestness and sincere desire to
please. While the performance cannot

HE CALLS 1T BLACKMAIL.

A Well Known Young Man Ar
rested on a Charge of Seduction.
A sad-eyed young woman with a
raw-boned woman of middle age, APP
peared in the sacred precincts of
Judge Cory's court early yeSter-
day afternoon and applied to
Clerk Ahern for warrant of arrest for
A. w. Ellison, clerk in the music
store of Nathan Ford. The charge was
seduction, preferred by the sad-eyed
young woman, whose name is Frances
BOhrens, and her home is with her
parents, at No. 2906 Lyndale avenue,
Minneapolis. The elderly woman
who accompanied her was the we'll
lecturer, Mrs. Julia A. FiXen, also of
Minneapolis. The warrant was issued,
sent to police headquarters, and in ten
minutes was in the hands of Officer
George Leyde, who proceeded to
Ford's and collared his man.
Ellison was brought into the
police court and put face to face with
his accuSer, who begged him to marry
her and avoid the disgrace consequent
upon the publicity of the case. Her az
gumentS were ably supplemented by
Mrs. Fiyen, who delivered an eXtempo-
raneous lecture for his benefit that was
quite on par with her best
efforts in public. The young man
pleaded that he was engaged to another,
and when the women cried, For
shame" he declared that it
was all blackmail, and he would
fight it to the bitter end.
Accordingly he sent messenger to
summon W. w. Erwin, the well-known
criminal lawyer, to become his counsel.
The Tall Pine Tree of the North" came
with rapid strides and took the sltu-
alton in at a glance. He recog-
niZed the young woman as the
daughter of a former friend, and
advised his client that the only possible
way to escape the laws vengeance was
to marry her. 1t took Ellison five
minutes to make up his mind, and then
he said he would go and get
license. The tears were chased
away in smiles on Miss Bahren'S face
as she opened her hand-satchel and
took forth the necessary document, pro-
cured in anticipation of the event from
the clerk of Hennepin county. The
bridal party repaired to Judge Cory's
private chambers, where his honor per-
formed the solemn service.
Mr.. Ellison said last night that it was
nothing but a case of blackmailing, and
that he married the woman TO avoid
publicity. He said it was done with
the understanding that she would at
once begin proceedings for divorce.

ROUSED OVER PARKS.

The West Side Union Agitates
Itself Oyer the Sixth Ward
Park.
The West Side union held short but
somewhat animated session last even
ing. Although it takes something like
a cyclone to disturb the serenity of this
organization, its feathers were actually
ruffied during last evenings delibera-
tions. The park question did the busi-
ness. Peter DAILY started the ball roll
ing. He raised objections to the
action of the board of public
works in the matter of the as
sessment for the West Side park.
He said the board had entirely ignored
the unions wishes in the premises and
refused to refund money paid for assess
ments. He thought the park commits
sion could do something for the West
siders i'll the park matter.
Mr.. Campbell said the park commits
sion could do nothing more than the
union. 1t could, if necessary, have the
money returned, but the whole proceed
ings would have to be annulled. He
had gone as citizen several times to
the board of public works and asked
them to alter the park limits, but was
told they would not do it.
The matter was finally offered to the
committee of streets, roads and parks,
who will report at the next meeting.
Mr.. Winchell objected to South Rob-
ert street being called Ducas street.
The motion was referred to Aid. Bryant.
Mr.. Boston said that something ought to
be done in regard to the proper num-
bering of the houses along Isabel street.
This was referred to the committee on

things in the mind are often un-
serviceable to us. | wish E. to
point out to you things in the Word of
God that | wish you to remember, and
the first thing lies in the first verse,of
the twelfth chapter of EccleSiastes:
Remember thy Creator in the daysfof
thy youth, etc. AS the days go by
you will be less inclined to give your
selves to God, which. by reason of
everything wrong in the memory, you
should do while in the morning of life.
God wants you to live for Him, that
your life may be heroic, therefore the
wisdom of this Injunction
nDr. Munhall asked those who had
been converted after reaching fifty and
forty years of age to arise. Only two
got up. He then asked those who had
been converted before reaching twenty,
and about 300 arose.
''Now," said he, Il have tested this
thing all over the world, and it has al
ways resulted thus. If you put off the
giving of yourself to God until you are
forty or fifty, there are ninety-nine
chances in hundred that you will be
lost. If you don't seek God in the days
of your youth, you will never see Him.
A second thing, I'd have you remem-
Der, lies in the fifteenth chapter, fif-
teenth verse of Deuteronomy. You are
not your own, for you have been bought
with price. You
DON'T BELONG TO SATAN.
You belong to God. Wherever you
go. remember that. Another thing tore
member is in the the fifteenth chapter of
Numbers. God would have you re-
member that you are under obligation
to submit yourselves to him. You shall
also remember your iniquities, for you
will walk contrary to the will of God
after you have become Christian.
Your sins will trouble you, and the
longer you remain unsaved the easier
you will yield to temptation after you
are saved. VIII a man remember in
hell the things in this life? Surely he
will. Dives remembered, while in the
flames of torment, that he had ungodly
brothers in this world, and wanted
to warn them. You will remember all
these things. Your sins will trouble

a sale, under the hammer, of all freight
that has been in the office
one year, unclaimed. Packages of all
sizes and description are sold to the
highest bidders at ransom. the contents
not being exposed to the buyer. Many
lucky finds and ludicrous incidents al
ways attend these sales of old hoss.
One man was struck with the appear
ance of a small but heavy box. contain

paid s. for it and found that he could
have purchased it at any hardware store
for 40 cents. Another man wasted $3.50
on pair of ladies' patent leather pumps
and pair of cOrSetS, probably sent as a
present by dOting mother or fond
sister.
One man paid $40 for large, bulky
package. 1t contained an old army

A small box, about the size of one used

One man for s. cents bought two fine

three pairs of woolen socks. Another
man got good buckhOrn-handled cane,
worth perhaps s., for 81.
And so it went on. The purchases
were too numerous to describe i'll full,
but there was many a lucky find, many
absurd incidents, and many touching
offerings sent by persons to others who
will never be known.
