oils Official Reconstruction Bill.
Judge Atwater drafted bill and
Representative John Day Smith intro
dueed it yesterday, which proposes to
overhaul and reconstruct all the I'M
pOrtant official Departmental of Minneap-
oils. The bill goes in to go before the
Hennepin delegation, where a fierce
fight is expected to be made upon 1t.
None of the members understand the
measure yet, as it is complicated, and
only became public yesterday. The
points of it are:
1.-The elective officers of the city shall
be mayer, treasurer, comptroller, al
dermen, and the members OF all other
boards created by the charter"
The mayor, treasurer and comptroller
shall be elected biennially at the gen

airy, 1890, the council is to consist OF
three aldermen for each ward, and
thereafter one alderman from each ward
and five at large.
The terms of all -year-aldermen
elected last November expire the first
Monday in January, 1920, while the
terms of the four-year-aldermen expire
in January, 1893.
In December, 1889, at the first meet
ing of the common council five alder
men at large are to he elected by ballot,
whose terms are to be one year from
January, 1890.
At the general election of 1890 five
aldermen at large are to be elected,
whose terms expire i'll January, 1892.
AT the general election Of 1892 one
alderman from each ward and five at
large are to be elected to hold office for
two years. At the general election Of
1890, and biennially thereafter, four
members of the board of park commits
sioners are to be elected, two members
of the board of education and two mem
bers of the library board, each of whom
is to hold office for six years, and IN
1890. and every six years thereafter, one
additional member of the board OF edu-
cation is to be elected, making three
new members every sixth year there
after.
All officers necessary for the proper
management of the affairs of the city are
to be appointed by the council, unless
the charter otherwise provides. to hold
Office two years. Vacancies in the office
of mayor or alderman are to be filled by
special election twenty days after the
vacancy occurs.
The salary of the mayor is to be $1,000
per annum, and aldermen Sl00.

A MONEY EATING HOG.
He Gets Hold of Three $40 Bills
and CheWS Them.

Rome (Ga.) Tribune.
In the early part of December man
named Pritchett, near Summerville,
was working out in field. He hun g
up his coat on the fence. Among
other things the coat contained three
$50 bills.
In some way the money dropped out
of his pocket, and big hog wandering
around in the field came upon 1T.
Doubtless the porker thought it was a
toothsome green morsel and was pleased
to find it in the field of froSt-killed vege-
tation. So the hog cheWed it until the
three bills were pulp.
Thompson HileS brought the bills to
Rome to see if they were redeemable.
He carried them to j. H. Reynolds,
president of the First National bank,
who sent the pulp to the treasury de-
partment at Washington. Mr.. Rey-
holds says that it was impossible for
him to make anything out of the pulp,
and that it looked like so much dark
colored paper.
Yesterday President Reynolds re-
ceived letter from Washington con-
tanning areply to his letter. On two
slips of paper were neatly pasted frag-
ments OF two bills. 1t was the work of
an expert and showed his wonderful
skill.
The treasury department said they
could only make two bills out of the
pulp, and would pay that ON an affidavit
stating how the money was mutilated,
and the good character of the persons
who owned the bills when destroyed.

a cold clammy feeling as it touched her,
forehead. and she hastily shook it Off.
Her father then examined it more
closely and was amazed to find that
what he had supposed to be
wreath was in reality something
very much like dOuble-headed
snake. Certainly there were two
serpents' heads directly opposite each
other on the circular band; but MI:
Fentoh soon perceived that each head
had separate body, and that two
snakes had mixed themselves up to-
gether and sunk into torpid condition
for the winter.
Their tails were not visible, because
each had swallowed the caudal extrem-
ity and as much of the body of the
other as it could cram down its throat.
MIR. Fenton thinks that if the present
mild weather lasts the reptiles Will cast
off their torpor and disgorge each ether
soon.

ton Goes Into Effect.
CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-The new agree
ment of the Western States Passenger
association went into effect to-day with
out hitch. Ali the roads that are par
ties to it will be required to file with
Chairman Abbott as early as Feb. 10. a
complete and sworn statement OF the
number Of tickets outstanding at the
time the agreement became effective
: in order that the situation may be clear
ly understood and the necessary steps
taken to clear the market of these dis
turbing tickets. An important meas
ure that remains to be completed is the
withdrawal from sale of all coupon
tickets reading over routes SO circuitous
as to make them available for use at IN
termediate points. The general pas
senger agents will take up this question
at their first meeting. The withdrawal
Of these coupon tickets, it is expected,
will be finishing blow to the scalpers.
The agreement as whole appears fully
as strong as that of the presidents. Any
violations of the interstate commerce
law are to be made the subject of COM
plant, and the chairman is instructed
and empowered to investigate all
charges,

CHICAGO, Feb. Judge Cooley and
Col. Morrison, of the interstate COM
merce commission, were in Chicago
again to-day Oh their return from st.
Paul. Their investigation in that city
developed some minor Irregularities
which the guilty parties promised to
correct, and the commissioners declined
to mention any names. Col. Morrison
said none of the railroads were so bad
and none so good that they needed to be.
singled out from the rest. In regard to
the presidents agreement, the commits
sioners said it was good one if carried
out. 1t was easy enough to make prom
ises; the important question was
whether these promises would be full
filled or not. They were hopeful that
from this time forward there would be
a stronger effort on the part of the rail
roads to comply with the law. While
agreeing that the selection of their
colleague, Commissioner Walker, to act
as chairman of the proposed associa-
ton was a cOmmendable one, they
would not venture an opinion as to
whether Mr.. Walker would accept the
DoSitiOn or not.

40 Criticisms Of His Board of Pub

To the Editor of the Globe.
Both the morning papers contain this
morning an attack upon my bill, which
proposes that the members of the board
OF public works shall he elected directly
by the people, instead of being appoint
ed by the mayor, as now is the case.
My object in introducing this bill is to
give the people chance to eXpress their
direct wishes in this matter of great
Importance to their financial welfare.
When nominating and electing mayor
i'll st. Paul am very sure very few
stop to consider who will become mem

a, b. c-Frontages on "a diagonal street.
When the city macadamized West
Seventh to Ramsey street at cost of
$1,000 the assessments upon the prop
erty owners were very heavy, and as
they were poor the burden great one.
Now it is proposed to pave West Seventh
at cost of $1,000. The assessments,
Mr.. Ives claims, will be unusually
heavy on this property between Ramsey
and TuScarora where the diagonal of
West Seventh makes an excessive trout
age. He proposes in his bill that the
city shall aid the property owners by
contributing $4,000 of this $4,000 out
of its own pocket.

Jere Fenton, of South Orange, N.

ment of which he is rather proud. He
does not bring it into the house because
he has been advised that the heat of

cause it to change its nature objection

wreath woven of cords of variegated
colors. and as it hangs on tenpenny
nail driven into the wall it attracts a
great deal of attention. 1t is about nine
inches in diameter and perfectly circu-

buried in the fallen leaves at the foot
