with the matter, too. What he said
was this:
II cannot add much to what DR.. Kinl-
ball said. do want to most emphatic
ally deny though, that any one man
dominates the action of the board
There is nothing OF the kind. Any
member of the board has just as
much to say in the meetings
OF the board in the conduct
of examinations as any other member.
The board acts as whole. and if any
one is to be blamed, the whole board
should get it. But do not think any
one has reason to grumbie. We simply
do our duty in giving pension appli-
cants the benefit of an honest, thorough
examination. If they fail to get pen

DR.. G. Ii. Norred. the third member
of the board was seen, but he had moth
ing to say further than that there is no
friction in the working of the board.
About the whole of the trouble, sim

Although it will take some few days

the new proprietors, Messrs. Shattuck

A sister of the young wife came to
visit them, who was as lovely as man

strange that a young, suaye business

telling him to beware, for it was not
the single lady the friend was after, but
his own wife. He could hardly believe
it, and in the quiet hours of the night
he told the wife of the letter. With
one blow she shattered his trust, and
his heart with it, for in paroXysm OF
tears she confessed to him OF her i'll

The husband sent her away to her
relatives III the East, as she seemed to
wish to live down the unholy passion,
and tried TO drown his sorrow In ex-
cesses. He became broken down in
health, and finally had to go to
a health resort, from which he
returned in better health and renewed
hope that all might yet he well. when he
found a letter awaiting him from a

WHAT THE DOCTORS SAY.

Their Side of the Issue Between
the Pension Board and the
g. A. r.
DR.. H. 81. Kimball, president of the
local board of pension examiners ex-
aminers is not at all disturbed over the
opposition of the G. A. R. men to the
action of the board on pension applica-
lions. He is convinced that the veter-
ans would not feel as they do if they
thoroughly understood the matter. Said
he yesterday:
The board of pension examiners is
not to blame for the rejection of appli-
cations for pension or for an increase
of pension. We have nothing to do
with that matter whatever. We are APP
pointed to examine men who look for
pensions. We give them thorough
examination, write out our findings and
send them to Washington. The awards
are made there. We are not responsible
if every man who wants pension fails
to get it. We are here to give every
applicant thorough, honest eXamina-
ton, and we do it.
Here is an instance of how we are
blamed for what we are in no way re-
sponsible. A man named Sutherland
came in here for examination. He
got it, and the board went so far
as to recommend that he be given IS
per month. The pension department.
wrote back that that man was only en-
titled to 81 per month. OF course he
felt little sore. He, like many others,
told his friends about it and kicked
little. That is the way good deal of
this starts.
Another man came up here from
NeY Ulm to be examined. BE had
certificate, made out, probably, by some
laWy er.declaring that he was suffering
from scrofulous sores due to scurvy
contracted in the war. There was
sore on his leg caused by the applica-
ton OF Spanish fly as blister. He ad-
mitted that when charged with 1t.
Then, suppose, he went out Of here
and hOwied about the examiners being
too severe.

such thing. Furthermore, what interest

ADJUSTMENTS.

Milton Mobiles latest offering to the

The Kirmess Again.

Only fair-sized audiences were pres
ent at the matinee and second evenings
presentation of the Kirmess yesterday
at the Harris theater. The singing of
Miss Anna Pratt, the dancing of Miss
Matte Murch. and the marching of the
Amazons, led by Miss Sarah Towne, as
before proved the most attractive feat

some costumes and the appearance of
the little children, made up rather
pleasing entertainment as whole. The

the dancing and grouping was spoiled

they we're supposed to be doing.

STEAMED TO MINNEAPOLIS.
For the First Time in Seventeen
Years a Steamboat Lands.


At 10 o'clock yesterday morning, sew
eral members OF the board of trade went
to st. Paul on invitation of Maj. Mac
kenzie, government engineer, and en-
barked on the government steamer Ada,
for trip up the river. The party con-
sisted Of Capt Reno, w. E. Steele. j. D.
Blake, f. G. Nichols, E. e. Whitney, G.
z. Lowell. W. II. lice and Capt. Du-
shane. Without notable incident the
steamer arrived at the old landing just
below Washington avenue bridge, aud
the whistle Of the first steamer to land
there in seventeen years was heard
echOing along the river banks. The
only trouble In making the trip was
found at the mouth of Minneiaha creek
and at Fishermen's island. where shall
low water was found and the little
steamer was obliged to proceed at a
low rate of speed.
Capt. Reno, when he jumped ashore,
said: ION this very spot | landed H.,
600 tons of freight in 1889. and II am
not much mistaken the time will soon
come when | Will be able to dO it again"
In many places the bottom OF the river
was covered with old tin cans and other
refuse. Id reference to this Engineer
DuShane said: lit is an outrage that
the people of Minneapolis will allow
the dumping of garbage into the river.
The government cannot spend money
in cleaning out the river while the city
allows this to go on. 1t should be
stopped at once. 1t is an outrage on
the people below who use the river
water, and it is disgrace to the city.
Ashes fill up the river more than sand.
The city must take steps at once to stop
this if they expect to receive govern
ment aid. u
1t will probably remain matteFof
local history that May l. 1890 was the
date OF the landing of the first steamer
in Minneapolis for seventeen years.

A RUINED LIFE.
The Shadow That Will Hang Over
Local Wedding.

Authors are sometimes severely dealt
with for the manner in which their
characters live out their mimic lives. kand
dramatists are censured for the almost
impossible construction of their plots,
yet nature is never questioned when it
places before an interested humanity a
tragedy in real life, the outcome of
which is seldom attempted in fiction.
Minneapolis was the scene for one OF
these domestic dramas, that started
hardly more than year ago the first
act in the drama, was placed upon
natures stage, and in a short time the
last act will be presented to wondering
audience, when the curtain will drop
and consign the actors to oblivion.
Nearly two years ago. a young attorney
lived in Minneapolis. where he was pos
sessed of a pleasant home, a beautiful
wife and lovely young children, where
merry prattle filled his heart with Joy.
and he grew happier day by day as he
saw iii their young cOuntenances a re-

barrels daily. against 121, 10 barrels
the week before, and 102. $50 barrels for
the corresponding time in 1889, and 49,
800 barrels in 1888. Some changes have
occurred in the operative list, but
almost as much capacity is in operation
as a week ago. There were thirteen
mills running to-day. and they were
grinding about 20,5O0 barrels per TWEEN

WILL BE TAXED.
Chattel Mortgages viii be Treated
as Property.


Hereafter all chattel mortgages will
be taxed and City Assessor Plummer
thinks the city will derive a handsome
revenue from this source. For the past
three months considerable clerical work
has been put on a list of unSatiSfed
chattel mortgages which are to be
assessed this year for the first
time. As nearly as can be eSti-
mated there are about $4,000 of
these mortgages, of which fully
$4,000 are unSatiSfied. Many of them
are for small am 9untS, but in the aggre-
gate they will represent large amount,
which it is next TO impossible to eSti-
mate, however. The question Of taxing
the chattel mortgage brokers has been
under consideration for some time, but
no systematic effort has ever before
been made to include them in the list,
either here or in st. Paul. There is no
valid reason for their es-
cape from taxation, although
some of them would probably
assume as defense that they are agents
Tor other people. The attention of the
city assessor has only been turned in
this direction recently for the reason
that it is only in the last few years that
the chattel mortgage brokerage BUSH
ness has assumed any proportions, but
as it now yields revenue 600 or
OVER III q few years to different individ-
uals they must be made to pay for it just
as persons in every other line OF BUSH
ness are taxed.
