The Department Will Investigate.

Washngton.-Ihe department OF Agrl-
culture will make an investigation into
the charge cabled from London that a car
go of cattle affected with pleuro- pneumon-
la has been landed at Deptford. The cattle
in question are reported to have come
from Baltimore The officials at the port,
however, say that the cattle in question
came from Illinois and merely passed
through there for shipment. They add,
however, that they were inspected
and found to be in healthy condition. The
department has been for some time Of the
opinion that pleuro-pneumonia is prac-
tically extinct in this country, and it is
believed the investigation will show this
last charge to be absolutely without founda.-
ton.

A meeting of the taxpayers Of the

William Warner was elected presi-

appointed; On roads and bridges, Will

tian Jensen, Jacob Barge, Henry Keller
and William Warner.
Jacob Barge addressed the meeting
and urged the advantages of Sixth ave-

to Lake Minnetonka. He said that
thousands of dollars had been spent on
Minnesota river to enhance the value of
a few farms, and that it would take but
a small amount to make it one of the
most beautiful driveways to the lake.
He thought that no other route would
accommodate so many people, and as it
was already graded half way it should
not be a hard matter to have it pushed
to completion.
The next meeting will be held Satur-
dav, April 5, at 2 p. H., at Jacob Barge's
office.

Ten garnishee cases came up before
Judges Hooker and Young yesterday,
which involve charges of crOOkedneSS
on the part of James Il. Harrison,
Harrison, the Tailor" who assigned q
few months ago. The complainant in
these actions is F. w. Greayes, Harri-
sons assignee. He alleges that shortly
before the assignment, Harrison re-
turned to Neal, Thomas IL Co. $1,000
worth of merchandise purchased Of
them, the purpose being to make
preference in favor Of them,
contrary to the insolvent law.
Since the defendants are not
residents of the state, Greaves garnished
ten different firms, creditors of Neal.
Morse & Co., making to total of all the
sums so garnlshed $4,000, amply suffi-
cient to cover the claim. The garnishees
applied to the court yesterday to have

diction. and the matter was taken under
adYiSement.

Remnants lectures are over, and the
public now has an opportunity to lean
back and examine itself and wonder
what it has received for its money. Mr..
Kennan has just delivered six lectures
in Minneapolis, thereby putting several
hard, round, shining dollars into the
pocket of his dress suit; and if the
left out of consideration by him. he
could have told all that he did tell in
three lectures, at the outside. He was
billed to tell the public all about the
Siberian exile system and its evils
together with the attending conse-
quences. 1t took three lectures to get
to the eXiles at all; then it took
two lectures, we'll padded with stories,
songs and pictures. to tell about the
life and Sufferings Of the eXiles. and the
series closed with lecture which
seemed to be composed of rehaSh of
good deal of what had already been
told. For abOut One-third Of what these
lectures cost, those who attended them
could have learned all that they have
learned by purchasing certain
copies of monthly magazine,
but Of course they would not
have listened to lecturer who has
school-boy delivery, who uses often
times bad grammar, and always mOnot-
onous language, and who springs upon
his audience flights of rhetoric stolen
from other authors, but who happens to
have made a name by travelling through
a cold country and visiting political
prisons under the protection of an Off
cial passport. But Mr.. KEENAN, seems
to be an able financier, who is lining his
own pocket by the gullibility of the
public. And the public likes to be
gulled.

furnished with medical advice and
