"Surprises of Divorce OF the Lottery
of Love" was produced last evening at
the Grand Opera house. The Rehan
company is an excellent one, but the
presentation of the comedy suffered
somewhat by comparison with that
given last season here by the Augustine
DAILY company, which was par excel
lence.

Harris thpater next week with Charles
Arnold, for whom the play was written,
in the title role. Mr.. Arnold has played
"Hans" with great success throughout
England, Australia, New Zealand and
Tasmania. 1t is play that deals in the
beautiful features of child life, and yet
the romantic side of the story is of
strong interest. Mr.. Arnold brings
with him company especially
selected for this production, IN

May Hannah is probably the brightest
child actress on the stage to-day. She
is but five years old. and plays triple

distinct characters, displaying versa

Her dancing has attracted widespread

The County Auditor Takes Hand
in the Assessment Discussion.

The County Auditor Takes a Hand
in the Assessment Discussion.
Now that Col. W. S. King and City
Comptroller Calderwood have come to
an understanding, County Auditor Con-
dit does not propose to allow anybody
to find fault with his method of doing
business, and he declares that the city
would have received every dollar due
it on the March settlement, even if
the Dual City Collection agency had
not been employed 10 check the
accounts. lii an interview yesterday
County Auditor Condit said that the
city ward funds were short on account
of 'rocky bookkeeping" Continuing
he said: "The trouble is that when
penalties which were paid on sidewalk
taxes have been reported to the city
treasurer they have all been credited to
to the general fund. When parties
having laid their own sidewalks, and
having also paid theil taxes after they
became delinquent, applied to the
city engineers office for rebate. the
engineer has given them certificate
covering the original tax and penalty.
The comptroller has been charging the
full amount of this certificate to the
sidewalk fund after having credited all
penalties received to the general fund.
Had he taken the ordinary course and
charged penalties paid out to the same
account to which he credited penalties
received the sidewalk fund would have
been all right. If they want to distribute
their penalties to all their various city
fu ndS 1t will make considerable
amount of extra work which | do not
propose to do at my own expense until
l am convinced that the law requires me
to do it,"
Mr.. CalderW0od, however, does not
quite agree with the auditor. and points
to the fact that the checking of the &C
counts by the collection agency brought
to light the comfortable sum of $1,000
which is due the city and which will be
paid in the March settlement. This,
the comptroller claims. neither the city
nor the county auditor knew anything
about until after the examination had
been made.
The members of the city council are
having good time over what they say
is the Snarl the comptroller has en-
tangled himself in, and they are quietly
enjoying the controversy. 1t is barely
possible now that the committee which
was appointed to prescribe rules for
the government of the cOmptroller'S
office will not report during Mr.. Calder
woods term of Office. Aid. Bradish,
who is chairman of the committee, said
yesterday that he had not called a meet.
ing of his committee, and nothing in
the way of formulating rules had been
done, and that no recommendations
would be made u the council at the
meeting to-day.

The CifV Printing.

The committee on printing Of the city
council yesterday opened the bids for
printing and binding 300 copies of the
reports of the various departments and
for 1900 copies of the reports of those
departments which exchange with other
cities. The specifications require that
the reading matter shall be set in bre-
vier solid, and all tabular work is to be
in nonparel. Following are the bids:
Harrison & Smith. $3.50; Tribune job,
s2.27O: Thomas A.Clark, SO. 1853; Kimball
Printing company, $3,479S0. As all of
tire bidders had complied with the reso-
luton of the council requiring certi-
fled check for $500 or a bond for $1,000
to accompany their bids, there was
nothing for the committee to do but to
accept the bid of Harrison & Smith, and
the committee will recommend that,
when they shall file bond in the sum
of s.. 600 for the faithful performance of
the work, the contract be awarded to

A DESPERATE ROBBER
He Nearly Kills a Member OF

ened Out.

The Business Mems Move
ment Auspiciously In
augurated.

One of the most daring and desperate
robberies which has taken place in Min
neapOliS for long time occurred yester-
day morning in Engine house No. 13, at
Seventeenth avenue south and Twenty
fifth street. William KenneY, the driver
of Hose cart No. IS, and brother of
Assistant Fire Chief Peter j. Kenney,
was the victim. Although Mr.. Kenney
can give 10 description of the desperate
he has badly cut head, and it will be a
long time before he forgets his expert
encp OF yesterday. Tuesday last was
payday for the fire department and
there is but little doubt that
the robber expected to make a pretty
good haul. but owing to some cause.
probably the fact that he thought his
victim dead, all that he got was three or
four silver dollars which Mr.. Kenney
had in his pocket. while he overlooked
a pOcketboOk containing considerable
amount of gold coin which was
in another pocket. How tine
robber gained an entrance into the
engine house is a mystery, as Capt.
Murphy, who has charge Of the statlun.iS
positive that all the doors were locked
and none of his men had seen astranger
in the house during the evening. Mr..
Kenney had what is known as
the "middle watch" that is, he was on
duty to answer telephone calls and TO
look after the horses from II o'clock
midnight until 3 a. m, when he should
have calleu another man who would
have taken his place and remained on
duty on the lower floor until 6 O'Clock.
Some time before o'clock Mr.. Kenney
went into the stable, which is in the
rear of the house, to attend to one of the
horses. There are several passageways
in the stable, and as he opened
the door Kenney thought he
saw shadow in one of them.
He paid no particular attention to it, in
tending, he says, to look further when
he came out After he had attended to
the horses he came out Of the stall and
as he stepped in front of the passage
way in which he saw the shadow he was
dealt violent blow in the back of the
head. The only pain he felt he describes
as if some one had run big needle into
his neck. Then he became insensible.
When he came to his senses it was al
most O'Clock and he found himself lying
in pool OF blood and the pocket which
contained his silver turned inside out
and the money gone. Although weak
from loss Of blood. he managed to stag
ger to the bedroom and inform his COM
rades of what had happened. Chief
StetSOn at once made an investigation,
and both he and Chief of Police Bracket
are of the opinion that some one had Sc
creted himself in the stable before
Kenny went OIL watch.

was arrested by Sergt. Kennedy, ON the
charge OF stealing horse from T. B.
Hawkins livery stable on Wednesday
night.was given hearing before Judge
Mahoney in the municipal court yester-
day, and the case was dismissed as
there was no evidence to show that he
had been guilty of any CRIME. WeIbye,
who is employed by w. H. Adamson,
the money lender, went to the place and
took the horse under a chattel mort
gage foreclosure, but as there was bill
for horse feed due the liveryman re-
fused to allow the horse to leave his
barn until the bill was paid, and when
Weibye took it he had him arrested.
Seven DRINKS pleaded guilty and were
given the choice of paying $40 fine or
of going to the workhouse for ten DAYS.
Two of them paid the money and were

ALL SERENE AGAIN.
Rev. ID. AIacLaurin's ParishiOners
Are Well Satisfied With Him.

A few days ago the Pioneer Press
published the statement that Rev. Dom
aid MacLaurin, of the Emmanuel Bap-
fist church, had publicly stated in his
pulpit that he had received call from
the La Sale Avenue church, of Chicago,
and to substantiate his statement had
frantically waived in the air the
telegram eXte ding the call. The
Pioneer Press was forced to retract the
charge the next morning, but the con-
gregation decided to take some action
on the matter as a congregation. and
so long as the statements referred to
were circulated privately, as they un-
doubtedly were. the people in the In
ananuel Baptist church did nor care,
but when they cane to be circulated
in the newspapers, the people
decided that some action must be taken.
Accordingly, the trustees of the church
met one evening this week and drafted
a series of resolutions which were pre-
sented to the church at the regular
prayer meeting last night and unani-
mously adopted.
These resolutions declare that the
pastor of Emmanuel Baptist church has
not, at any time. made the statements
which have been credited to him with
reference to the La Sale Avenue
Church of Chicago: that there has
been any talk of an investigation by the
trustees; that there has at no time been,
or prospect of, congregational row,
and that the church was never in better
condition than now. The resolutions
close as follows:
"As officers and members of the
church we desire to express our entire
confidence in the honor and integrity
and Christian character of our pastor.
and our hearty accord with the stand
he has taken during his passionate here,
and especially during the recent
trouble"
These resolutions were signed by the
seven deacOns and the five trustees,
every official Of the church. They were
drafted and passed in order to counter
act the talk of certain persons, we'll
known to the members of the church,
who have publicly stated that they
would pull down Mr.. MacLaurin from
his pastorate. Further than this,
there was a letter read at last
nights meeting from Mr.. Mcneil,
of the La Sale Avenue church of CHI
cagO, who was present on the day Mr..
MacLaurin is said to have made the
statement credited to him. Mr.. Mcneil
says THAT Mr., MAC Laufln ala not say any
thing of the kind on the Sunday in
question, and, he being deacon of the
La Sale Avenue church, and the man
who sent to W. B. Barnes the much
talked-Of telegram, he enclosed a copy
of that telegram, which proved that a
mistake had been made in the trans
mission. The telegram, as received.
re ad, "Will MacLaurin be in our pulpit
next Sunday" In the original, the
word ''Our' appears "own," as it should
be. This mistake is what caused all of
the trouble.
As evidence that their church is not
going down hill, the members of In
manuel Baptist cite the fact that last
night seven candidates for baptism were
received.

ELECTRO-MATRIX TROUBLES.
Sensational Developments limited
At in the Near Future.

Sensational Developments Hinted
At in the Near Future.
The trouble that has been brewing in
the Electro Matrix company has as
sumed definite shape, and a telegram
was received yesterday stating that S.
S. Small has secured an injunction
from the supreme court of New York,
restraining. the Minneapolis Electro
Matrix company and others from dis
posing of its assets. This is the initial
step in the strife for the supremacy be-
tween the two factions that are aiming
to get full control of the electro-matrix
process of printing newspapers.
The company was originally started by
S. S. Small, G. Wright Dawson. James
w. Griffin, David Chute and other Min
neapolis men. A company was then
formed by several New York men. The
first move of the new concern after OBJ
tanning the majority of the stock, was
to negotiate sale for the right of the
machine in New York state. Before
the sale was completed, complications
arose in strife between MeSsrs. Small
and Dawson, and the claims of parties
of infringements OH former patent,
and suits were brought in the United
States courts to sustain the same.
While the excitement is on, there are
claims made that about twenty OF the
leading men in the deal would be ar
rested on criminal charges, but MIR.
Smal's attorneys refuse to make
statement one way or The other.
