LOCAL SELF-GOVERNMENT.

The Cleveland Club Decides That
Is What Minneapolis Wants.
There was large attendance at the
weekly meeting of the Cleveland club
last evening. The necessity of local
selfgovernment for Minneapolis was
freely discussed. and the desirability of
having the party platform contain a
plank in reference to the matter was
emphatically commended. There was
some plain talk concerning the way the
desires of the people of Minneapolis
have been thwarted by the Republicans.
who have secured, through the legiSla-
ture, such measures as the creation OF
police commission, which robbed Dem
Ocratic mayor of the power he was
elected to WELD. Letters were received
from Joseph E. Pattison, Democratic
candidate for governor in Pennsylvania,
returning thanks for the clubs congrat-
ulations, and from Senators G. K. Davis
and w. ID. Washburn in reference to
the clubs protest against the Lodge
biI'' for federal elections. The former
only promised that the protest would
receive his ''most considerate atten-
tion," but Senator Washburn volun-
teered the opinion that there is little
probability of the passage of the Lodge
bill, although it is possible. he says,
THAT some election bill having in view
a free ballot and a fair count in the
Southern states may some time in
the future pass the senate" He,
however, does not think any bill hav
ing the features to which the CLUB OBJ
jects will ever become law. A letter
was also received from Judge Thomas
Wilson, stating that while his engage
ments prevent his addressing the club
upon the tariff question, he hopes to be
able to do so at some future time. Forty
four new members of the club were
elected

The Jefferson club tonight will en-

state central committee at its rooms in
the Globe building. The love feast is
to include refreshm ents among other
features, and the occasion is one which
will bring the local workers of the party
together with representatives from
different parts of the state in way
that will enable them to get acquainted
and talk over the campaign. An lnvI-
tation will probably be extended
to the committee to hold the state
convention at Minneapolis, but it
will be done by the way and Hospitality,
and. while it is felt that Minneapolis is
Justly entitled to the honor. there will
be no 'fight'' over the matter, as might
be inferred from statements in the Re

SHOT IN THE NECK.
A Suit for Damages for Injuries
Resulting From an Accident.

A Suit for Damages for Injuries
Resulting From an Accident.
In the district court yesterday suit was
brought by Webb G. La Grave against
Otto W. Smith. 1t is brought for $50, 600
damages.
1t will be remembered. no doubt, that
about the middle of last month an acct
dental shooting occurred at Mr.. Smiths
gun store on First avenue south, near
Washington avenue, in which Mr..
Smith was the one who did the shoot
ing, and Webb La Grave was the VIC
tim of the accident. At that time 1t
was generally considered that it was an
accident, and the complaint does not
say that it was not. The complaint
says that the plaintiff received injuries
at the hands of the defendant which
will cause him to remain cripple from
the effects of it all the rest of his fife.
Mr.. La Grave was shot in the neck, sup
posedly. but it has since affected his
arm, and the complaint sets that out as
the location of the mans injury.
There is an exceeding probability that
as much expert testimony will be intro
duced, if the case is strenuously con-
tested, as there was in the late COLON
trial.

rather Mrs. Mingo, has resulted seri-

her. She has until yesterday been the
owner and proprietor of millinery and
art store at No. Is Sixth street south,
but yesterday the doors were closed and
the place was to all appearances de-
serted. The cause of this desolate APP

ENUMERAToRs ARE SCARCE.
Progress of the Preparations for
the Recount.

Supervisor Kruse, with the assistance
of E. ]. Davenport and Inspector Bou-
dinot, were busy yesterday making up
the list of enumerators who will do the
work of recounting. The call for enum-
orators is not resulting in any consider
able rush for positions under the gov
eminent. The arrests of former enum-
orators and the difficulty with which the
old men have met i'll collecting their
pay, taken together, seem to be acting
as deterrent on all who might other
wise desire to earn an honest dollar by
counting noses. More men are required
for the recount than were used IN the
first place, the city having been cut up
into almost twice as many districts as
formerly. Should an insufficient
number of new men be Sc
cured. the old enumerators will
be called upon to. do the work. The
blanks for the recount have yet to ar
rive from Washington, but are expected
to arrive at any time, as word has been
received that they were forwarded last
week. The delay resulting in Super
visor kruse being unable to get as many
enumeratorS as he desires, and also III
the blanks not getting here, will post
pone the commencing of the recount to
Wednesday, perhaps Thursday.
The citizens committee has taken
hold of the recount as earnestly as 1t
did when the census was first taken.
Men in the employ OF that committee
have for the past week been busy max
ing thorough canvass of the city with
view to helping out Supervisor Kruse
and insuring full count of the city:
Personal calls have been made upon all
business men and firms. and tine fact
has been reimpressed upon themsehat it
is to their individual interests, as
we'll as to the interest of the city,
that every employee and his family be
counted. In addition to that blanks
have been distributed in all business
houses, manufacturing concerns and to
contractors, OH which returns can be
made SO that no one will be missed:
The citizens committee is dong good
work and is determined that, despite
the cries Of frand, every resident OF
Minneapolis will be counted, and the
actual population returned to the census
bureau in Washington. 80

A REMARKABLE CASE.
A Husband Turns Up Two Years
After His Funeral.

A Husband Turns Up Two Years
After His Funeral.
The Chilean Times says that about
two years ago trader. tired of the life
his better half led him, resolved to
abandon her and his home, at all events
for while. and he disappeared in a
quiet manner and unObserved from his
residence at Chilean Viejo. Instead of
grieving for her absent lord the wife re-
solved to take advantage of his absence
to obtain possession of his property.
She quickly hit upon an eXpedient for
this purpose. Cholera was prevailing
at the time, and she procured the body
of man who had died of the epidemic
and had it clandestinely conveyed to
fined, and she gave it out that her huS-
band had died of cholera. The nature
of the disease did not allow of the GUS
tomary waking, and burial quickly fol-
lowed death In those days.
The customary certificates were
promptly obtained the defunct was in
TERED, the widow donned her weeds, a
heauStOne was set up ito the memory of
the best of husbands by his disconsolate
widow" and in few days his death
was completely forgotten. The second
act of the play commenced with the
widow procuring legalized copies of the
certificates of her husbands death and
burial. and armed with these documents
she applied to the court for power to
administer the estate in her own name,
and after the customary formalities had
been complied with she was put i'll full
and peaceable possession of the prop
erty. The third act of the play was to
turn all or nearly all the property into
cash and put the proceeds somewhere
beyond the reach of her husband or the
purchasers of the property. What the
final act will be it is hard to say, but a
few days ago The husband, who has been
carrying on business in Conception,
turned up quite unexpectedly in Chilean
Viego, and the paper from which we
CLEAN these particulars says that what
promises to be cause celebre has
already been initiated.

SPORTING GOSSIP.

The much abused cigarette is now to
be recognized at gentlemen's banquets
hereafter. At the Lurline banquet the
other night cigarettes followed coffee
and came before the cigars. Of course
some of the athletes shifted at them
contemptuously, and made unfeeling re-
marks about 1.-THE undertaker'S joy"
and "census padders' Delights" but
when the smoking really began it was
noticed that the cigarette fiendS were
by no means in the minority.

Speaking of the BANQUET. it seemed
strange that not more than one-ouarter
of the membership turned out to the
feast which was given in honor of the
returning crews from the Duluth re-
gatta, where they so ably defended the
Lurline cOlOrs. Such an occasion as
this, it would seem, should have at
tracted at least majority of the boat
men to celebrate the victory. The Lur-
lines need not complain of the indiffer-
ence of the public. when they show so
little interest themselves in the well
fare of the club.
1t is hard to find a betting man who
won much money at the jockey club
meeting. As rule they seem to have
won the first few days and dropped
what they won and more too before they
got through. Even the local bookmak-
ers are out of pocket. So imperturba-

he wishes the horses had all been struck

pay for several very nice Christmas
presents. Some of the Eastern book
makers made money. but did it by sue

WEARY TRAVELLERS RETURN

What the Council committee Did
and Saw on Its Trip.
Yesterday afternoon a half dozen
woe-begone looking individuals, their
hair and whiskers besprinkled with
cinders and dust, and wild, hunted
look in their eyes, emerged from the
union depot, 1t was the special council
committee which had been sent East on
a tour of inspection, and within one
hour after their arrival all were in bed,
with the exception of DR.. S. S. Kilving
ton, and he was in bad temper. The
committee was absent from Minneapo-
lis just eight days, and in that period of
time visited eight or nine cities and
carefully examined their electric light
ing systems and methods for the dispo-
sition of garbage. 1t was big task
wonder that they are tired. They
worked days on garbage systems and
nights on electric light plants. They
travelled between times. Health Officer
KiIvington was dIsinclined to talk,

power to act in this matter. l
was sent along merely to assist
the committee in the work of
investigation and l don't want to in
any way prejudice or forestall the re-
port of the committee" The health
officer. however. did consent to say
something about where they went and
what they saw, and this is what he
said:
I'VE visited successfully Chicago,
Pittsburg. Allegheny City, Baltimore.
Washington. Philadelphia, New York,
Staten island and Wheeling, the latter
city being taken in on the return trip.
In all these places we carefully exam
ined into their electric lighting plants
and systems. We paid a good deal of
attention to the methods of distribution
and to the placing of lamps, and care
fully noted the effect. All this work
had to be done at night, and it kept US

cussed right in this city. | can't say
that we obtained any new ideas as to

and writing about. The committee.

CIGARMAKERS OUT.
Trouble in the Factory of B. Eisele
Over Wages.

Another strike of cigarmakers is on in
Minneapolis. Sixteen men employed by
B. Eisele's factory, at 1920 Washington
avenue north, have quit work because,
they claim, Esele proposed to reduce
their wages from $3.50 and So per thou
sand to Sc per thousand. They are
backed by the union, and boycott Of
Eisele's goods is proposed. The cigar,
makers claim that the factory men have
combined to break up the union. Mr..
EiseIe, however denies both OF these,
assertions. relative to wages and the
combine. He said he had been paying
the union scale for eight years, and was
not now disposed to change. He had
been forced, however, by the competition
of the small establishments on cheap
grades to make a change. This he
had proposed to do by introducing what
is known as the ''bunch breaking and
rolling" system. By this he was to hire
five new men to do sort of prepare
tory work on the leaf tobacco. This, he
claimed, would not cut down the mems
wages at all but would enable them to
earn SLIGO day instead of S1.50 as now,
as they could work faster. Mr.. Eisele
intimated that. il the union held to its
purpose, he might be forced to give up
the making of cheap grades entirely. In
that case he would take back part of
the men at scale wages, make only high
grade cigars and buy his cheap goods i'll
the East.
