HAILED WITH JOY.
Everybody Glad the p. G. Will Die
Soon,

Everybody Glad the L. Z. Will Die
Soon.
The news of the triumphal march of
the bin abOishlng the police commits
sion through the state legislature, was
productive of not little comment on
the streets of Minneapolis yesterday
afternoon. The news was received
with varying feelings. The majority of
the opinions were of cOngratulatory
nature on the eases with which the bill
was being pushed through the legisla-
tive body. That the police commission
has been standing reproach, blot on
the good name of Minneapolis, is we'll
known. The best men of all parties
united in condemning it, and they are
pleased that the life of the commission
seems SO short. But there are not
few men, students of municipal
government who believe that the COM
mission would be all right had the
proper sort of appointments always
been made by the governor. Many be-
lieve that, to the characteristics of its
members rather than t. the faults of
the theory,is due the feeling against the
commission. They believe the commits
sion to be good thing when composed
of the proper men. But they are not
disposed to make any fight to retain the
commission. John GoOdnoW is one
of the foremost defenders of the
commission, but he says he does not
want to exert himself i'll its behalf, and
he does not know of any one who will.
There seems to be disposition Oh the
part of the friends of this body to let
the Democratic delegation abolish it, if
they will, and suffer the consequences.
Be it said that the Democrats do not
fear the consequences.
In spite of these prOteStatiOnS on the
part of leading Republicans, there was
well-defined rumor abroad yesterday
to the effect that considerable pressure
would be brought to bear to induce the
governor to veto the bill. 1t was said
that Commissioners w. Nj. Bracket
and w. r. Guile had pooled issues and
were doing their utmost to defeat the
measure in the executive office. 1t was
said that they were using their utmost
influence with prominent Republicans
to have those leaders prevail upon the
governor to refuse his sanction to the
abolishing measure. The rumor was
not, however, given any considerable
credence. Bracket said yesterday that
he didn't care whether the commission
was abolished or not. 1t is not thought
that the governor will so disregard
precedent as to veto a purely local meas
ure like this measure. Should lie do so
he will act directly contrary to the
wishes of the majority OF the Mime
apoliS people.

POLICE REGULATIONS.
Gambling Must Go, and Saloon
keepers Will Be Strictly Regu-

Chief of Police Henderson is reported
as saying that he believes the gamblers
understand his purpose to close their
establishments, and that they have sig
nified their willingness to obey his in
structions in that regard. In the event
of violation of the chiefs instructions,
the offenders will be arrested and vigor-
ouSly prosecuted. The police have been
ordered to keep a strict watch on
all resorts wherein games of chance
have been permitted, as welt
as the houses solely devoted
to gaming. Tuesday night the new
police regulations were generally OBJ
served by the sporting fraternity, and
it is believed that, for the present at
least, professional cams will have little
else to do besides twiddling their
thumbs. ~
The proprietors of concert saloons
will be under surveillance, and will not
be allowed as much latitude in the fu-
ture in running their places. The priv
ilegeS heretofore allowed them have in
some instances been shamefully abused,
and Chief Henderson proposes to check
and limit unbridled licenses. The
music halls must be conducted in the
future decently, and the new rules to
that effect must be obeyed.
IL is thought that saloons of good rec
ord and report will be permitted to keep
their back doors open on Sunday, or.
rather, it will not be found necessary
to lock and bolt them. SaloOnkeepers,
however, will be compelled to use tue
utmost discretion in the management
of their business on Sunday, and any
thing savoring of disorder or a design
to deceive the police will be followed
by the immediate closing up of their
establishment. 1t is said Maj. Hender-
son means business" and that police
regulations must be Obeyed to the let

DIR. KILvINGToN's REPORT.
A Document of Important InfOr-
matiOn---Results of Disease and
Sanitation.

A Document of Important InfOr-
mation-.-Resultso of Disease and
Sanitation.
EX-Commissioner of Health DR.. S. S.
Kilvington has compiled his annual re-
port, and will submit 1t to the city coun-
ell at its next regular meeting. The re-
port is voluminouS document, and is
pregnant with important information.
In due season the report Will be printed
in pamphlet form tor distribution.
DR.. KilvingtOn recalls the fact that
the work of the department ''has been
largely preparatory, but that it is now
systematZed on basis for further i'm
provement and development by his
successor" The eX-cOmmissiOner re-
grets that the law regulating the
inspection and adulteIation of food
is imperative, and suggests the
immediate enforcement of the clauses
bearing upon those subj ects. River
water, according to the report, is now
being more largely consumed owing to
the increased sources of supply, and
surface wells are disappearing to give
way to more healthful arteslan wells.
Many germ diseases were attributed to
the consumption of surface well water.
Dr. Kil7ingt0n also points out the
harmful influences of the private scav-
enger system, and directs attention to
the improved sanitary condition of the
public schools. He recommends the
abandonment of the Lincoln school and
favors cremation as the most effective
method of diSpOSing of the city'S waste
and garbage.
Contagion, infections and epidemic
diseases are discussed at length. The
grip has disappeared from the city, but
diphtheria has been more prevalent
than during the preceding year. The
number of cases of scarlet fever has
diminished, and there has not been
case of smallpox in Minneapolis during
the winter. Typhoid cases were fire.
quent, and the cases in most instances
are attributed to the use of impure wa
ter. Chambers has prevailed to an unusual
extent. SO horses having been quaran-
tined during the year, 81 of which were
killed. A tabular statement based upon
the census of 1890. the deaths of 1889
being taken instead of those of 1890,
shows the death rate in Minneapolis to
be 11.75 per 1000. The mortality is less
than that of tWenty-Seven leading
American cities. DR.. Kilvington adds
that the census office asked permission
to transcribe the record of the census
year as exhibited in the department.
The expense of the department for
the year was S22, 1926, which is 1928. 16
less than the appropriations. Of diph-
liberia there have been during the same
time 525, of scarlet fever 40, of measles
1.447 and of typhoid fever 291 cases.
The deaths from the same causes were,
respectively, 1877, %. "a and 6S; total,
Sol, against 347 in 1889. There were 225
deaths in hospitals in 1890.

amounts to 5000. An attempt was
made at the meeting to raise this

the members of the association will
make all effort they may be instru

THOSE CROSSINGS AGAIN.
City Attorney Russell Says the
Council Can Order.

City Attorney Russell Says the
Council Can Order.
In view of the recent accidents that
have occurred at the various railroad
crossings in Minneapolis, there is every
indication that there will be an extern
siye effort made to force the railway
companies to bridge the crossings, and
make life and limb somewhat safer on
an average than it is at the present
time. 1t seems that the gates. where
they have them, are not working salts
factOrily, and at many points they have
not even that much precaution to guard
against possible accidents. The city
council will take the matter in hand
and see what can be done.
City Attorney Russell has been APP
preached in regard to the matter and
says:
"There is only one way to deal with
this crossings question, and that is the
way it was disposed of at Washington
avenue and Fourth avenue north. In
other words, bridge the crossings. That
|. is the only safe, reliable and sensible
way of guarding against accidents of
the kind which occurred last night. In
city of this size there should be no
STduc CIUSSIUSS. uG ram Odu SilOulu
either bridge the highway or vice
versa. The city council can compel the
railroads to construct bridges at any
crossing, wherever the railroad crosses
streets which were in existence when
the railroad was built. In the case of
new streets the city would be obliged to
construct the bridge, though the road
could be compelled to lower its track to
fender such a construction feasible"
The expense he considers as secondary
consideration. If the people want them
bridged the council should see to 1t that
it is done, no matter what the outlay.

ALAS, POOR YORICK.
Bones and Other Relics in Court
as Evidence.

as Evidence.
The court house bore rather a grave
yard aspect yesterday. Judge CAVITY
was confronted by various and sundry
sections of limbs of horses preserved in
alcohol, placed on the table, TO assist the
experts in giving evidence in a suit to
recover for the loss of a horse that
broke its leg by falling down hole,
and Judge Hooker had cold chills down
his back all day, while Judge Rand
handled with reckless abandon that pOr-
ton of human skeleton from the knee
down, while he cross-questioned the
physicians in regard to smashed limbs
and broken ligament. On the whole, the
old rookery looked like resurrection OF
the last sad demise of the Republican
party. The juries that remain out to-
night will be terrified with ghosts, il
ever there were such things. The ques-
ton is, what next will the attorneys
bring into court to put in evidence?
