MINNEAPOLIS.
REPUBLICAN METHODS.

The police commission imbroglia,
which is giving the public quite an in
sight into Republican political methods.
has revealed. among other things, the
way in which an appointment on the
police force can be made to accomplish
great results by clever manipulation.
The story is told by Police Commits
sioner Guile, and duplicates 4. j, Bleth-
ell as prime mover in the deal, being
probably given in retaliation for the
Tribune'S treatment of Mr.. Guile. 1t
is to the effect that at Blethen's solicit
ude he voted with three other members
of the board of police commissioners to
reinstate James Hankinson. In return
HankinsOn secured, through personal
friendship or relationship, the vote OF
Representative Crossfield in the legis-
lature for W. D. Washburn for senator.
In fact. the "snap' was worked even
better, and another vote was Sc
cured in the same trade which was
sufficient to get Washburn the caucus
nomination, and his subsequent election.
Mr.. Guinle voted to put HankinSOn on
the force, although Democrat, after
Commissioner Baker had refused to vote
for HankinSon, thinking he was helping
Minneapolis by electing Washburn,
there being no show for Democrat.
Mr.. Guile thinks he is hurting Mr..
Blethen's feelings by giving away this
barter and sale of police appointments.
That gentleman plumes himself not a
little upon electing Washburn, and
besides that he was able to do it so
cheaply when votes were costing a
great deal of money in the legislature.
AS for Hapkinson, he is very much fiat
tered, too, that he holds an office that
was given in exchange for a United
States SenatOrShiD.

People present in the municipal court
room were yesterday treated to the
spectacle of the return to the Repub-
lican policy of arraigning keepers of
houses of ill-fame and mulcting them
in good round amounts for the
privilege of conducting their ne
farious business. The madames fol-
lowed one after another, and were
fined $50 each and SO for each inmate
of their bagniOs. Hattie Brush, fair,

CALEDONIAN DAY.

The bare legged bagpiper pursed his lips
And blew prodlgious tone,
That broke down the fence of Morton's park
And made the river bank groan.

With many a swirling swing,
In the mad endeavor to reduce the record
OF steps i'll the Highland fling.
The Caledonian clans will gather at
the ball park this afternoon to indulge
In their annual athletic festivities, for
which an elaborate Ogramme has been

will be represented, from the McGregors
to the McCallnm MOres. Hereditary
hate will be laid aside, and the Wallace

be allowed their traditional privilege of

given out. The Wausch girl is said

JAEGER's SUCCESSOR.
Sumner Lincoln TrusselI Ap-
pointed Deputy Revenue Col
lectOr,

sumner Lincoln IruSSen mp
pointed Deputy Revenue Col
lector.
The first move on the political chess
board for several weeks was accom-
plished yesterday, when Luth Jaeger
sent in his resignation as deputy col
lector of internal revenue, and Collector
Brennan appointed Sumner Lincoln
Trussell, a young Minneapolis attor-
ney, to succeed him. The appoint
ment was made on the recon-
mendation OF Senator Washburn and
Congressman Lind, and the app0intee
is, of course, Republican. MIR. Bren-
MANS own official head will come OFF in
side of sixty days, and, under the cir
cumStanceS, he refralned from appoint
ing Democrat. There has been big
rush for the place, half dozen candl-
dates vying with each other. Among
the earnest and thoughtful Republicans
who believe they would grace the posi-
ton were ex-Ald. MuldoOn, of Eleventh
ward, who was Endorsed by r. q. Evans,
A. B. Hush, F. A. Husher, Wade F.
Gray and number of others. Citizen
T. us ell was the quietest candidate Il
the lot, if he was an active candidate at
all, but he got there. He is a native OF
Hennepin county, hailing from Champ
lin, where his father feeds his
focks, and has lived all his life
In Minnesota. He graduated from
the state university in 1888, with honor,
and was one of the noted orators Of the
college in his under graduate time.
After passing through the law school
he settled down to practice law In Mln-
neapolis, and dipped more or less into
politics. He had close call for the
nomination for the legislature in the
Thirtieth district last fall and lost only
by a coup d'etats by Freeman Lane
at the last moment, in the district eau
Gus. Mr.. Trussell is secretary of the
Union leagues, and one Of the rising
young Republicans of the state. The
position to which he has been appointed
is worth about $1,000 year, and while
one of responsibility, will not take all
of his time.
Another appointment which has been
made is that of appraiser of customs.
The present incumbent, Capt. M. j.
Conner, of st. Paul, was notified a
short time ago by Collector Edwards
that his resignation would be ac-
ceptable, and with characteristic
JeffersOnian simplicity complied. His
successor will be Fred q. Mayo, resi-
dent of the Second ward i'll this city. He
was appointed on the recommendation
of ex-GOv. John S. Pillsbury and Secre-
tary Window. The appointee is not a
politician but veteran logger who has
been in the employ of the Pillsburys
for a good many years.

Mill company, of Escanaba, Mich, pro-
posed to put in large exhibit of roller

THE WHEAT ESCAPES.
Grain Elevators Will Not Be As
seSsed. -

The board of equalization yesterday
morning decided to strike off the arbi-
trary assessments against the elevator
men on wheat in store. The action was
taken largely on the strength of Judge
Smiths decision in the Wilson case.
where it was shown that Mr.. Wilson
came into possession Of mortgages in
June. The assessor put an arbitrary
assessment on them, and sued to recover
the tax. but the court held that the city
must prove ownership in May, the
month the assessment was made, in
order to recover. This decision covers
all the elevator cases, except those
where ownership was admitted in May,
and settles the point. 81
The following assessments were OF.
dered stricken off: ID. King, personal
property; Northern Mill company,
5000, 600 feet of lumber; Frank Hay
ward, personal property; E. Halght,
personal property; Harriet & Jackson,
credits, 5000; F. Nittenberg. credits,
$1,000; j. L. Neal, credits; f. E. Graves,

He LOST THE NICKEL.
A Funny Adventure in Chicago
Hotel.

Chicago Herald.
1t is strange that such desire pre-
walls to put nickel in the slot to see
it work." Two men were ON wild
jamboree recently and one of them had
fallen asleep in his chair. His lips
were slightly parted. The other man
had not yet reached the sleepy stage
and was still on his pins, having fun
with the boys. Suddenly he caught
sight of the aperture made by
those parted lips, and he said to
those about him: do you see that slot?
| am going to put in nickel and see if
it will works. He accordingly went
quietly I'D to the sleeper and dexter
ously slipped a nickel into his mouth.
The lips mechanically closed, there was
a spasmodlc swallow, and all again was
still. The operator looked disguised.
He fully expected to see the machine
put in motion, and his chagrin was ap-
parent at the very slight commotiOn
he had created. He felt he had
been cheated, and he wanted his
nickel back. He pushed thumb and
finger into the slot, but the coin was not
within reach. He shook the machine
violently and thereby got some action.
He demanded his money. The machine
then made search of the slot, but with
no avail, and declared he had no nickel.
The operator made one more dive into
the slot with his finger, and this time he
got something-the machine bit saw
agely and once more dropped off to
sleep, while the operator took lone
more" with the boys.
