The Annual Inspection of the Min

The Annual Inspection of the Min
neapolis Fire Department..
The council committee OH fire depart
ment, with several other aldermen and
Chief Stetson, started out yesterday
morning to make the annual inspection
of the engine houses and fire apparatus.
The first place toreceive their attention
was the fire headquarters at station
"a" on Second street and Third ave-
nue. north, where everything was found
to be in excellent condition and the men
well trained and efficient, and most of
the latter displayed an unexpected
amount of muscle and agility in the
dumb-bell exercises. with which the
committee was entertained. The COM
mittee, however, were much surprised at
the cramped quarters that the office of
the chief, his assistant and clerks Occu-
pied, and a recommendation for an APP
preparation to build a new headquarters
building Oh Fourth street north, near
the Spectator building, Oh land already
bought for that purpose, will undOubt-
eddy be made.
The aldermen visited several other
houses during the forenoon, dlned at
the NicOllet house, and then proceeded
to take in the remaining stations.
Everything was found to be in good
condition at the other houses, and the
committee were much pleased with the
agility in hitching, which was displayed
in test at the engine house on Third
street, between First avenue south and

BEGINNING EARLY.
Six Boys Work Up Corner on
Wheat.

Six Boys Work Up Corner on
Wheat.
Another notwithstanding sensation has
been unearthed by the police. Monday
night Detective Hall and Officer Griffin
captured six young lads at their several
homes near Elevator A, at Western and
Lyndale avenues, and locked them up
at the central station on a charge of
wheat stealing, and yesterday morning
the lads were held to the grand jury on
a complaint charging them with steal
ing 100 bushels of wheat.
1t appears that the stealing began
some years ago by the boys being al
lowed to sweep out the cars which had
been emptied and stood on the Mani
toba tracks near the elevator. They
soon began to get avariciOuS. and took
grain from cars that we're not supposed
to be empty, and for a long time the
road has been losing wheat in this way,
and not long ago commenced to have
the cars watched, with the result that
one Of the lads was caught and per-
suaded to give evidence against the
rest. The names of the boys are John
Holly, Lewis Bebar, James Golf, John
Hogan, John Higgins and Thomas Nc
Kenna. They are from ten to fifteen
years of age. and nearly all of them
lived with their parents near the scene
of their depredatiOns. 1t is understood
that a well-known and highly respected
citizen of Western avenue has been act
ing as a fence for the boys, and his ar
rest is expected,

Peterson's hall last night was the
scene of one Of the brightest social af-
fairs that has occurred in South Mime
apolis in many day. The employees
of Ii. o. Peterson, one of the largest
dry goods dealers of the city, gave So
cial to some 200 invited guests. Music
was furnished by Reynolds orchestra
and also an orchestra composed of the
boy musicians of South Minneapolis.
The hall was appropriately decorated
for the occasion. The arrivals were
met by MIR. Peterson himself, who
uShered them to the large banquet room
gathered about the banquet tables, and
from that moment forth every person
enjoyed the utmost freedom and most
pleasant time. ToastS were offered and
responded to with hearty good will.
After the feast was served the tables
were cleared from the floor and the
dancing began. 1t was merry sight,
and was enjoyed to the fullest extent
by all present, About 200 people were
present to enjoy the pleasures of the
evening.
Among the guests were Judge Lars
NJ. Rand, Hon. Peter Marks, Ole
Borun and E. Jacquemine and wife.

The most important witness before
the grand jury yesterday was Judge
William Welch, who was made famous
by figuring as the defendant in seven or
eight different criminal libel suits
brought against him by Postmaster Cen
eral Villas. Just what he was before
the grand jury for no one seemed to
know. but 1t was rumore that he went
there to try and secure the disbarment
of ex County Attorney Frank Davis and
''Bill'' Erwin, of st. Paul, whom, it is
said, he charges with have libeled him
by stating that he had ruined young
girl at Madison, Wis, some years ago.
Be this as it may, certain it is that
Judge Welch was before the jury as
witness, and remained in the room for
some time. MessrS. Erwin and Davis,
it will be remembered, were associated
together III the prosecution of Judge
Welch in the Villas libel suits, when
vast amount of bitterness was engen-
dered.
The main witnesses before the grand
jury during the day were there to tes
tify in "blind pig" larceny and burg
larry cases of small dimensions. Sev-
era residents of Champlin were pres
ent to testify in small burglary case,
and several police officers and detectives
waited around to tell what they knew
in regard to certain men now under ar
rest. Among the men against whom
testimony was given are the men who
went through Cady'S clothing store, and
the men who robbed a messenger boy of
sealSkin cloak up on Nicollet avenue.

MINNEAPOLIS
SHALL WE HAVE 1T ?

A. T. Ankeny-I haven't thought
much about it, but ldon't think there is
any necessity for such board in city
of the size of Minneapolis. We should
have council of about twenty mem-
bers and let them employ competent
help. The board of public works in
B. +. NelSon-1f they reduce the
council about sc per cent l think it
would be good thing to have board
of public works. There ought to be one
councilman from each ward, and then
have such board. In case they do not
reduce the council l think 1t would not
be advisable to add to the number of
city officers.
j. B. Bassett-I would say that if our
council for the next two years was to be
what it has been for the past any change
to get power out of its hands would
be for the better. The present lndlca-
tions GO to show that things will be
better in this administration, and we
might as we'll trust the work with the
council.
Isaac Atwater-In regard to that
matter, my present impression is tnaG
if they reduce the aldermen OF the city "
to. one .from each ward it would be
advisable to establish a board. Other
wise / do not think it advisable.
j. n. Nind-That is the thing to
do, and think that the committee APP
pointed by the board of trade at its last
meeting, of which am chairman, when
itmeets next Friday night. will report
favorably that way.
Byron Sutherland, Park Commits
sioner-I heartily think it good thing,
whether they reduce the council or not.
] think, though, that the council should
be reduced and the salaries OF the mem
berS also reduced.
Emerson Cole-No, / think that the
work should be left as it now is, in the
hands of the council. In Washington
the board of public works was very
disastrous to the city. Such board is
an expensive affair. i believe in the
city council managing city affairs.
Aid. Downs-So netting of this sort
must be done. This city has become so
large that its public improvements
should be in charge of men who can de-
vote their whole time to it. | don't
think the council should have the APP
pointment of the board; neither do |
think its members should be elected. l
think in some way the matter should be
lifted out of politics altogether. Per
haps the district court judges or the
governor might appoint them. Still, L
don't fancy either plan exactly. III fact,
the manner of the appointment of the
board is the greatest obstacle see. Per
haps it might be appointed by com
mittee representing the several branches
of the city government.
g A Union League Man-It's no good;
we have got too many boards and com
missions now. L believe in electing
men to the city council who are capable
of taking care Of the city in every way.

Alfred Backdahls Funeral .

Alfred Backdahl, the druggist, whose
residence has been at Sl3 Washington
avenue south, passed from this life
Sunday afternoon, after having suffered
with typhoid fever for four weeks. The
funeral services were held yesterday
afternoon at 2 o'clock under the direc-
ton of the Khurum lodge, A. F. & A.

ored member of that society. The floral
decorations were very extensive and
very befttEg to the occasion in their
beauty. The many friends of the de-
ceased were present, making large at
tendance. The sermon over the body
of the deceased was delivered by Rev.
A. r. Graves, of Gethsemane church,
and the remains were laid to rest in
Lakewood cemetery. Mr.. Backdahl

den, and was fortyseven years of age.
He came to America in 1866. After

THEATER TALK.
The Hennepin Avenue Theater
Deal Not Yet COnSummated.

The Hennepin Avenue Theater
Deal Not Yet Contaminated.
There were no further developments
yesterday in regard to the sale of the
Hennepin Avenue theater property to
the Grand opera house syndicate. No
papers have been signed, but C. n.
Hunt. who has control of the theater,
still abides by his intention to make the
sale when all details have been con-
cluded, although he cannot be held to
the deal, as it should, according to
agreement, have been consummated
Saturday.
1t has been thought by some that the
Grand Opera House syndicate got ahead
Of Manager McCaddon, who had in
tended TO purchase the Hennepin
theater property to run in connection
going to build in St. Paul. MIR. Nc
Caddon, however, said last night
that his efforts had been toward
easing the Hennepin avenue
house, and that he had never
attempted to buy it. The Twin City
Opera House company, which he repre-
sents, is not new idea, but Its final
formation was somewhat fastened by
the burning of the st. Paul Grand. No
meeting of it's directors will be held UNI
til February l. and before that it will
not be decided whether the company
will erect theater here or arrange to
run the opera house to be built at St.
Paul in connection with the Minneapo-
lis Grand, as far as the booking of at
fractions go.

THE SINGLE TAX LEAGUE.
The Henry George Theory Talk ed
Over at Some Length.

Iuc injury ocOTSc AhCOEy 1dlACu
Over at Some Length.
The meeting of the Single Tax league
at 421 Nicollet avenue. last evening,
was fairly well attended and proved a
very interesting one. Among the audi
ence were number of real estate and
business men, who manifested consid-
cradle interest in the proceedings. At
the opening of the meeting more or less
routine business was transacted. The
treasurer reported that the expenses of
the Henry George lectures here and at
st. Paul were $379.75, and the receipts
S414.75, leaving balance of $50. The
question of printing in pamphlet form
the lecture delivered here by Mr..
George, was discussed, but no action
was taken.
George K. Shaw opened the evenings
| discussion by stating that he was
amused to see that so many people
clung to the idea that the single tax
men wanted to put their theory into
practice at once, instead of understand
| ing that the movement was only plan
| to get the matter before the legislature.
There is a good deal of nonsense
| published about U.s." replied President
| Buell., with smile, land we are called
all sorts of cranks by people who do not
understand our Interior motives. So l
think it would be good plan to keep
our real object before the people all the
! time"
Mr.. Buell., in continuing his talk,
stated that under the present system the
/ state tax was TO mills, while under
tax upon land values the tax would be
| but 2-10 mills. He did not think that
| if the single tax plan came into use
many of the present owners of unoccu-
| pied real estate would have to move
away.
OF. Erickson laughed at the idea that
the single tax would work an injury to
the poor men who owned their own
homes, and showed by figures that
the men owning homes in New
Boston would be benefited at
least 80 per cent. A discussion as how
best to present the single tax theory to
the people was had. Howe Paige held
that no class of people should be an
| tagonized. The real estate men. even,
| he said, would find some good in the
| plan, especially if they were large
considered that the single tax would
put stop to sudden and bottomless
| bOOms.
DR.. M. p. Finnegan said he conSid-
cred it better for the league to make
convert to the cause by appealing to a
mans sense ofsjustiee, rather than by
telling him that he could save more
| under the single tax system than under
| the present system.
The reports of progress of the work
showed that men all over the North
west were becoming deeply interested
| in the matter, and that the farmers es-
pecially were becoming awakened in
| the matter. -
II move that we paste up stickers all
over reading 1.-The Single Tax Will Do
It," said Secretary Ryder, when the
question of how best to advertise the
league came up. The suggestion was
referred to the proper committee.

A GRAND PARK.
Legislation to Be Secured to
Garry Out Cherished Idea.

Legislation to Be Secured to
Garry Out a Cherished Idea.
A move is fairly on foot now to obtain
the legislation necessary to secure the
land for the park connecting Minnehaha
Falls with the soldiers home. Com
missioner A. j. Boardman proposes
bill for the legislature which shall make
it possible for them to become
the possessors of the IT'S acres
between Minnehaha creek and
the Mississippi river. which is
now occupied for the soldiers home.
The scheme is to have the land con-
demned and have damages assessed
upon the lands adjoining, which will
be gre atty benefited by the park. There
will be no objection from the property
owners of the nelghborhood. Besides
gaining this beautiful property. the pro-
ject is to secure legislation SO as to OBJ
tain the military reservation at Fort
Smelling for park land. The whole site
is most beautifully adapted for land
scape gardening, and, when artificial
lakes and other improvements are com
peted. will make a perfect park. 1t is
thought there will be no trouble in the
ma terialiZatiOn of the scheme.
