BOLD, BAD BURGLARS.
They Make an Attempt Upon the
Sheriff's Office.

There was wild tale going the
rounds of the court house yesterday to
the effect that burglars had been at
work during the night in the sheriff's
Office. The tale runs, that when the
Office was opened in the morning the
curtains were all drawn up, covering
the windows, although they are always
left open to the light of day.
The long table which usually occupies
the center of the room, was found
drawn up against the hall door, and one
of the windows was left unlocked and
partially open, and the general aspect
OF the room showed that some one had
been in there during the night. The
safe also had the appearance of having
been tempered with, the table bore the
marks of No. IL overshoe, and the ac-
cumulated dust upon the tranSOm bar
bore the impression of a burglarlous
hand.
Sheriff Eye is firm in his conviction
that an attempt had been made to crack
the safe. but that something had
occurred to brighten Off the men
before they had a chance to begin their
nefarious work. and no amount
of talk about rats" and ''snakes" will
shake him in his belief. He will prob
ably have iron bars put on the inside of
the windows to the Office. The next
thing to be heard from will be an at
tempt to burglarize the county Jail, and
extra precautions should be taken to
guard against some misguided house
breaker from exercising his handiwork
on its heavy granite windows from
without

EASTERN CAPITAL AND LOW
INTEREST RATES.

The following, from an editorial of a
Minneapolis daily, states an important
financial matter in its true light, and
gives due credit to prominent institu-
ton for its part in the prosperity of the
city:
Our city has been largely built by
Eastern capital. which has freely come
to us because of liberal rates of interest
and the improbability of foreclosure
when values were rapidly advancing.
Values having now become more stable,
land speculation is steadily giving place
to the more serious commercial and
manufacturing pursuits, which are the
basis of permanent prosperity. The
profits to be derived from these pursuits
will, however, for many years be pretty
accurately measured by our ability to
borrow operating capital at favorable
rates OF interest, and to induce non
residents to put their money into new
industries.
For our money supply we must chiefly
rely upon Eastern capitalists, who very
reasonably require land security for
their loans, and are proverbially sus-
plcious of Western titles in general, a
suspicion that naturally becomes greater
when the investor cannot so safely de-
pend upon redOubling values to assure
prompt payments. Safety in land titles
thus becomes matter of the highest
economic Importance to us, because of
its direct bearing upon the confidence
OF the capitalist, ease of transfer and
low rates of interest. &
With her characteristic enterprise,
Minneapolis was the first city west of
Philadelphia to offer investors this in
valuable element of safety-(title guar
anty). The Minnesota Title Insurance
and Trust Company is operated upon
substantially the same plan as the East
ern companies. Its policies are prac-
tically perpetual, and indemnify the
holders not only against actual loss, hut
also against the trouble and expense of
litigation if the title be assailed. If an
insured mortgage fOreclOses, his insur-
ance natures into an indemnity upon
the fee. The policies are similar to
those of the Eastern companies, and like
them are accepted as final evidence of
title by all investors.
Among those who are now loaning
their money in Minneapolis are con-
siderable number who formerly kept
aloof from the city because of suspicion
of Western titles, but are now literally
investing in reliance upon the title
guaranty. This has had an appreciable
effect on our money market, and thus
upon current rates of interest.

In speaking of the Sunday saloon
question, he says the better class OF
salOonkeeperS have seconded his efforts
in enforcing the ordinance. Prize
fighting and gambling, he declares are

danger of allowing the promiscnous
carrying of deadly weapons, and sug
gests that an ordinance should be passed

the police superintendent. The private
detective agencies come in for good
roasting. "TheSe parasites are both

being constantly augmented and in
creased. 1t is remarkable that in this
day of refinement, enlightenment and
boosted civilization nothing further than
preparatory efforts have been made to
break up this breeding school of vice,
crime and villainy. Can any one give
you good and sufficient reason why
newspapers should be hawked upon the
streets more than dry goods or gro
cerleS? If these children are depending
upon their daily profits for bread, it
would be infinitely cheaper for society,
III the long run, to furnish comfortable
homes, wholesome food and educational
facilities for them at public cost, than
to give them up to the criminal teachings
of the streets. But a careful examination
OF the habits, manners and dOingS of
this class will prove to any one that

superintendent of Police Brack-
EFT Makes Lengthy Report.
At the meeting of the police commits
sion yesterday Supt. Bracket made his
first annual report of the workings of
his department. He asks that the force
be increased by the addition of at least
fifty men, and says that there are now
miles of streets which are never visited
by the police unless they are specially
summoned. During the year, Mr..
Bracket says, there has been noticed a
marked improvement in the discipline
of the force, but admits that there are
still few discordant elements in the
departmentwhich he hopes to overcome.
Under this head he says: by force of
the very nature of the duties to be per-
formed a police force is semi military in
its organization and modes of discipline.
The first lesson to be learned is implicit
obedience to orders. An officer attempt
ing to make "a law unto himself for his
particular beat and entirely independent
of instructions Or of the charter and Or
dinanceS, soon becomes worse than use

MINNEAPOLIS COMMENT.

There is considerable routine bust
ness to be transacted by the council at
its meeting to-day. All of the city of
ficers will present their annual reports,
The Minneapolis Street Railway COM
pany will officially accept the plan sub
mitted by the council for changing the
motive power on their lines from cable
TO electricity. The ordinance com
mittee will report OH the Harlow Gale
market franchise, the committee on
roads and bridges will submit the COM
promise between the aldermen of the
First ward and Shaw & Elliott, which
allows that firm to occupy as much of
the street as is needed for improve
ments to their property on Water street
northeast, and the committee on fire
department will recommend several
changes to be made in the Harris the
alter. The session promises to be busy
one.
Chief of Police Bracket has made an
exhaustive, but not eXhausting report
of the work of his department for the
past year. Like all of his predecessors
he asks for an increase of his force. No
doubt he should be allowed the fifty
extra patrolmen ne wants, as his aSser-
ton that there is a considerable area of
the city left unprotected by policemen
Is nothing new to most citizens. While
the chief was on this subject, however.
wouldn't it have been in order for Mr..
Bracket to explain why patrolmen are
brought in from outlying districts,
where, according to his own state
ments more men are badly needed,
and dressed in citizens clothes are
sent prowling around under the direc-
ton of step-ladder sergeant looking

day; "but he says am not his wife, and

The woman had two children, and ex-
hiblted a heavy gold wedding ring
which the man had given her. Every
body IN the court room sympathized
with the woman, but they were Dot pre-
pared for the statement made by Judge
Mahoney, who was trying the

two children" he said. You have
lived together as man and wife. Per
haps no ceremony was ever performed,
but the law and this court declares that
you are man and wife, and your chill
dren are legitimate" 1t was somewhat
of surprise to the audience, but every
man IN the court room thought the
judge did perfectly right.
Now that the militia men are going to
be arrested for not attending the drill
meetings number of designations are
in order. Playing soldier is all right
when there are lots of pretty girls
around, but being "bossed'' by some
other fellow is not what the average
American boy takes kindly to.

THE BOOK AGENT.
A Book Concerns Contract Not
Binding.

The jury returned verdictin favor of
the plaintiff in the suit of o. F. Kimball
against the George S. Cline Publishing
company, the subscription book firm.
giving him judgment in the sum of
S2O9.56. The company had entered into
a contract, with Kimball as their agent.
He deposited 500 as a guarantee, and
commenced work with the understands
ing that he was to remain in Hennepin
county. The firm later wanted to send
him to Indiana, and he would not go.
Judge Young in his instructions to the
jury held that the verbal understanding
was a contract in itself, and that he
would have to enter into new contract
to be compelled to take the new terri
tory. The defense claimed breach of
contract and had refused to refund the
deposit or reimburse him for his serv-
ices.
Several of the former agents of the
same company were in attendance at the
trial and will probably bring suit on the
same charge, as they have awaited the
outcome of KlmbalPs case to give them
a precedent.
