the way in which they were performed.
He paid high tribute to the st. Paul
board of public works, and said that,
while real estate took big Jump in the
locality in which man lived who was
elected an alderman in Minneapolis be-
cause it was known that the
newly elected alderman would ex-
pend almost all of the ward
funds in improving the streets
in his neighborhood, in st. Paul it was
different, for there were no ward funds
to spend, and If the alderman wanted
to make the improvements he had to do
it himself lie paid particular atten-
ton to the police department., and said
that policy which allowed man to 60
around with stepladder and peep over
transoms was wrong. He didn't want
anything of that kind going on around
his house, and he didn't think any other
man did. Mr.. Buel's remarks about the
police brought on lively little row.
c. NJ. Boyd declared that Buel
had no right to attack the step
ladder sergeant for doing what his
superior officers had ordered him to do.
After somewhat heated discussion, in
which Messrs. Temple and Alison took
part. Mr.. Boyd was appeaSed, and the
remarks of Mr.. Buel were practically
indorsed

BOWDIsH TROUBLES AGAIN.
More Fighting of the Old Battle
Before Judge Smith.

The old fight between Edward A.
Bowdish and the woman who was once
his wife was given another airing be-
fore Judge Smith yesterday. The de-
tails of this famous quarrel are familiar
to all who read the newspapers. Mrs.
Bowdish secured divorce and with it
the custody of their daughter and Of
some valuable property. 1t is over this
property that the recent fight has
broken out. Mrs. Bowdish affirms that
the property belongs to her in fee sim
pie. and Edward, formerly Rev. Edward,
and sometimes known as that even
now, sets up an opposition to the prop
erty, and bases it on an alleged con-
tract between him and his eX-wife.
There is a provision in that contract
which states that this property in dis
pute, which Bowdish decided to Mrs.
Bowdish on their separation, shall
be turned over to BOwdish when the
little girl. Jennie. shall have attained
the age of sixteen. The contract is
written in pencil, and in Bowdish's
hand, while the signature is declared to
be that of Mrs. BoWdish. Because OF
in the matter on trial. BoWdiSh seeks
to recover possession of the property,
and Mrs. Bowdish sues to have the al
legged contract set aside. She declares
that the signature, which is said to be
hers, is forged one. The case, which
involves expert testimony on hand
writing. was not finished yesterday.
This charge of forgery against Bow
dish may lead to the investigation of
the matter by the grand jury when it
meets to-day. Mrs. Bowdish attempted
some such move once before, but owing
to the fact that the alleged contract
could not be found at that time the mat
ter was dropped. 81

AGAINST THE A. o. u. W.
Another Suit Begun and Dis

Another Suit Begun and Dis
missed on a Technically.
There was another suit against Hen
nepin Lodge No. Is, A. 0. U. W., on
trial before Judge Rea and jury yes
terday. The complainant in the case
was the wife of the late Sullivan G. Per
rine, and she seeks to recover $4,000.
from the lodge for the life Of her hus-'
band. 1t is alleged by Mrs. Perrine's
attorneys that Perrine made application
for membership in Hennepln Lodge No.
Is, A. o. U. w., paid mis- entrance fee
and was accepted as a member. He
membership was forwarded to him. On
this technicality, Mrs. Perrine's attor-
neys say the lodge is trying to beat her
out of the $4,000. on the ground that she
can show no proof of her husbands
membership in the order. The books
of Hennepin lodge were brought into
conrt and showed that Perrine
had made his little boy the beneficiary
of the insurance policy. The books
also seemed to show. too. that Perrine
had paid his dues, and In every way
complied with the requirements Of the
order, failing only to receive the certif
icate. Of course the bringing of the
suit in the name of Mrs. Parrine rem
ders that action imperative. 1t will,
however, be recommended in the name
Of the little boy, through guardian.
The case of Augusta Backdahl against
the same lodge resulted in verdict for
the defendant. Alfred Backdahl was
in arrears in his dues when he died, and
for that reason the lodge refused to pay
his policy. This point of arrearage
|. rendering policy imperative the SUI
preine court will be asked to pass upon.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The largest audience of the season
greeted George n. Bakers Opera COM
pany last night at the Harris theater to
hear the beautiful opera "Olivette,"
and it was QUE of the most enjoyed
productions so far. Miss Kitty Mar
cellus made charming Olivette, and
Marie DressIer was we'll suited for the
countess. Frank Deshon's COquilicot
was exceedingly funny, and his Waltz
Me Again. made tremendous hit.
Messrs. Amsden, Dyew, Lyding, Clark
and the Misses Barton and Scott were
all excellent. The one cre1itable feat
ure of Mr.. Bakers company Is the eos
tuning. This was particularly notice
able in the third act, the sailor cos
tunes being new and novelty III de-
sign. The nautical dance by eight
pretty girls was we'll done and deserv-
eddy applauded.

steal act in Town Lots" and whose
name does not appear upon the pro-

Mr.. Baker promises that "Ermlnie,"
which he will give US next week, will
be cOstumed in an elaborate manner.
"Olivette" will be presented during the
entire week, and from the way it was
received, undoubtedly will do a very
large business.

PURIFYING POLITICS.
The New Reform Club Opens Its
Headquarters.

me New reform CIuD opens Its
Headquarters.
The new reform club, or Club of So"
opened what will be its permanent
headquarters in the basement of the
Wright block last evening, and from
now on it will pay particular attention
to the personel of the men nominated
for the municipal Offices by both par
ties. Sam I. Johnson called the meet
ing to order, and after stating that
the object of the meeting was only to
talk over matters and to appoint a
few necessary committees he called
upon ]. a. Temple, the temporary sec
rotary, to give his ideas as to what kind
of a platform should be adopted. Mr..
Temple read his statement, which was
lengthy one. In it he said that both
parties were more or less corrupt. He
did not propose to make war on either
party, or to single out any individual,
but under the present system there was
entirely too much political aristocracy
to suit his American views. What he
wanted was a man VINO would accept
an Office with the full intention of doing
his whole duty towards the people. He
felt sure that there were plenty of hon
est men left in the world, and it should
be the aim of the Reform party to die
tate to the dominant political organiza-
tions who the candidates should be, SO
that good men might be selected by
both. Should the Reform party grow
and develop sufficient strength, then
there would be no reason why the re-
formers should not place their own
ticket in the field. Speeches were also
made by John Alison, DR.. S. &. Farms
worth, S. Wright, S. r. Childs and G. j
| Buel. Mr.. Buel declared that the
entire administration Of affairs as
conducted by the present Republican
retrenchment and reform adminiStra-
ton was wrong. The officers charged
with the execution of the laws did not
understand their duties. If they did,
then they were even more C blame fol
