Uncle Rufus Roberts and A. q.
Mosher. The former was nominated,
but the carriage dealer and green
grocer got away with him. receiving
twenty-five votes. Roberts receiving
only sixteen votes. Frank Gaylord
was elected elevator attendant by ac-
clamation. When the officeOf city ply
sician was reached Aid. Sterling and
Brazie raised the same objections to
committing the council to the present
system of sanitation, and this time they
prevailed over Downs and the matter
was laid Oh the table. An attempt was
made here to take an adjournment to
Thursday, but was defeated. The slate
was again cracked when light inspector
was taken up. Aid. Lowell moved a
pOstponement Of action, saying parties
wanted to make complaint against the
present inspector, Louis Runge, the
caucus nominee. The election was pro-
ceeded with, and Aid. Ellingson NOM
mated A. p. Anderson, and made
demands for the recognition Of the
Scandinavian element. The bal
lot resulted: Anderson 29. Runge 8.
The council then adjourned to Thurs

pleasant duty of lifting Mr.. Runge's

of the committee Oh pubic grounds and

recommend that their official express
siOns of opinion on public matters
should receive just attention with all
other expressions of popular Judgment.
CONCLUSION.
wish simply to reiterate what said
in beginning this address, that we have
been summoned by our fellow citizens
to do work which has become one of
exceptional difficulty, and to express
the hope that we may assume our duties
with sincere determination to do what
ever lies in our power to perform these
duties so that the best interests of our
city may be advanced. [ rely upon you
and upon all the departments of the
lcity'S government to cooperate with
me in our common work.
( Should we thus labor together, hold
ing the duties of our high positions al
ways above selfish or ignoble aims, the
account of our stewardship. when rem
dered two years hence, will be one of
which neither we nor our fellow citi-
zens need be ashamed, and will doubt
less shCw that we have been enabled to
( do somewhat to promote the welfare of
/ Minneapolis, whose progress and pros
perity have already given it leading
place among American cities.
EX-MayOr AmeS and Mayor Babb
should have compared notes. Their
messages cover much the same ground
I in the same manner and read like the
annual reviews of the evening papers.
The Minneapolis Republicans have
/conciliated all nationalities. They ap-
pointed a colored man janitor, Scan
dinavian light inspector, and it is pre-
sumed the elevator attendant is Irish.

YOUR UNCLE AUSTIN
Made President of the School
Board...The New Deal.

Made PRESIDENT or the School
Board-.-The New Deal.
The first meeting of the new board of
education was held yesterday afternoon,
with Supt. Beadley, Prof. Moore, A. c.
Austin, B. F. Nelson, A. Il. Ankeny,
Mai. Hale, Robert Pratt and Rev. Nj. F.
Gjertson present. The two gentlemen
last named were the new members, and
were greeted by the old members with
degree of cordiality at once pleasing
and refreshing. B. f. Nelson was the
last arrival. 81 came near missing all
Mr.. Austin called the meeting to
order, and A. r. Ankeny was made
temporary chairman. The secretary an
nounced that all the members had taken
the oath of Office. The first regular
business was the election of president
for the ensuing year. On the first bal
lot there was no choice, w. d. Hale re-
receiving 3, A.C.Austin 3 and 3. f. Mel
son /. The second ballot gave A. G.
Austin 5, W. d. Hale l and B. F. Mel
son 1. Mr. Austin was declared elected.
On the ballot for secretary Rev. M. F.
GjertsOn received 2 votes, w. d. Hale
8. A. T. Ankeny 1, B. F. Nelson 1.
The secodd ballot was almost similar,
ana there was no CnOlce. "A. 1. An
keny said he did not want the Office,
and another ballot was taken, giving
the Office to Rev. Mr.. Gjertson.
The temporary meeting and! organiz-
alton was then adjourned, and the new
board called to order by the newly
elected officers. Maj. Hale gently slid
back into his old corner, and then intro
duced President Austin to the board.
On motion of A. T. Ankeny the stand
ing committee on printing and insur-
ance was abolished, with the under
standing that the committee Oh fuel and
supplies attend to the printing, and the
committee on claims to the insurance.
The change was resolved upon by
unanimous vote.
Mr.. Ankeny moved that the president
appoint the standing committee for the
year at once, but Mr.. Austin objected,
saying he wanted time. "Oh, you had
made up your mind to that long ago."
laughed Mr.. Nelson as he poked the
president in the ribs.
''Oh, no, have not" was the reply"
for how did know was going to be
elected PRESIDENT"
1t was finally decided to have Presi-
dent Austin appoint the committees by
card. The board then adjourned to
meet hereafter at $3.50 p. N. on the last
Wednesday of the month.

home up and along the banks Of the
Mississippi river to connect with our
boulevard and park system in the south
ern portion of the city. When this
shall-have been done, no city in the
Union can boast of better or more
magnificent system Of parks, parkways
and boulevards then Minneapolis will
have. II the plan which have marked
out is cOnsummated I feel that the en-
terprise of the city of st. Paul will be
willing to extend their boulevard ard
park system to connect with us at the
Soldiers home; also that the state
could be induced to erect a bridge
across the Mississippi river at the Sol
diers' home, thereby contributing to the
two cities boulevard system" ~.
THIS Is VERY AMESEQUE. ole
First-That the newly elected mem
bers do not spend the most OF their time
and influence in trying to get the major
portion of the money in the public tleas-
ury appropriated for improvements In
their respective wards. a.
Second-That no more street lamps
be ordered in cow pastures, meadow
lands, corn fields and other broad acres,
whereby real estate dealers expect 5000
per cent on the money which they have
invested. *
Third-That none of the incoming
officers shall so allow his head to become
swollen that he cannot be recognized by
his friends. or with courtesy transact
the legitimate functions of his office.
Fourth-That liberal aid be given the
exposition in the way of Illuminating
our principal streets. ample police, pro-
lection to the building and its exhibit
ors, and the entertainment OF the guests
of the city during the exposition.
Fifth-That proper legislation be Sc
be set aside from the treasury for the
use of the chief executive, to be ex-
pended by him in such cases as he may
deem best for the public interest. This
fund should be overlooked by the finance
committee of your honorable body only,
and the results, not in detail, reported to
you for approval. This method has been
adopted by many of the leading Eastern
cities, and if followed here would raise
an enormous financial weight from the
mayors pocketbook.
Sixth-That each member Of the new
council so conduct himself during
the next two years that his constituents
will not be led to believe that he really
thinks that he should be the next mayor
of the city.
Seventh-That base ball, courting in
the parks and whisky drinking ON Sun
day be strictly guarded against, espe-
cialIy by city officers.
Eighth-That the Salvation Army be
allowed all the privileges usually ac-
corded to other religious fanatics.
Ninth-That the incoming admins
tration carefully observe the record of
it's predecessor, and that an equal show
ing be made i'm the shape of work for
the amount of money expended. j..
Teuth-That at the end of your re-
spective terms you shall not be accused
by the Republican press of the city and
state as having been boodlers.
Eleventh That after you have labOred
long and arduously fol. what you COLI
slider to be the best interests of your
constituents you do not explode
the old chestnut when you are defeated
for reelection that republics are un-
grateful.

The meeting Of the police commission
was decidedly short one, the members
simply going to the rooms where the
meetings are held, and then adjourning
until 2 o'clock this afternoon. No busl-
ness of any kind was transacted, as it
was desired to have Mayor Babb pres
ent before anything was done. There is
a vast amount of business to be taken up
as soon as the board gets into working
shape again. One OF two patrolmen
have been under suspension for month
OF two, and the troubles at the South
Minneapolis station need thorough
airing. 1t is understood that W.. M.
Brackett will be made superintendent
of police, and there are rumors of nu-
merous changes that may ultimately
amount to reorganization of the
force. Nothing in this direction. show
ever, is likely to be done for a week.

ALL SORTS.

The Republican municipal slate was
cracked in a couple of places yesterday,
but is in fair state of preservation.
The captains and lieutenants of the
various toboggan clubs are disgusted.
Instead of adorning their manly forms
with snowy uniforms, their only recre-
alton is to take stock and mark goods
for reduction sales.
The board of trade actually held an
interesting session yesterday, but any
thing that was not OF stereotyped rou-
tine nature was carefully kept from the
newspapers.
A Minneapolis minister says "a rich,
lazy and Indifferent aristOcrat is men,
ace TO the republic" This is probably
another shot at the opulent reporters
who work on Sunday papers.
