SUCH WONDERFUL SECRETS.
The Board of Health Stealthily
Discusses Garbage.

When one comes to think of 1t, one won
ders how the board of health ever came TO
reappoint Miss c. S. Bard to the registrarship
of the health department. Not but that Miss
Bard is competent; she doubtless does better
work than any one who could be put in
there; but her sex is against her. There is q
tradition to the effect that no woman can
keep a secret; hence the wonder that the
board of health should allow a woman to be
connected with it, for, be it understood, the
Minneapolis board of health is a greater con-
server of secrets than the most ''Old Sleuth'-
like detective that ever lived. But the pres
ent board of health is young vet. 1t may
accustom itself to exposure as it grows older.
Yesterday the board met to talk over the
garbage question and OF course went into
secret session. although what reason for
secrecy there is connected with the garbage
question no one has yet been able to discover.
Anyhow the doors were closed. Mayor
Winston, unlike some of his predecessors,
takes an active interest in the work of the
health department, and he suggested yester-
day that DR.. S. S. Kilvington be sent for to
communicate little light to the board on
this garbage question and what the policy of
the department mad been. KilvingtOn re-
sponded in person and was closeted with the
board for about two hours. The matter
under discussion was the closing of contracts
with the Great Northern railroad and with G.
j. Yaw, of Brooklyn township, for the trans
portation and reception of the city's waste.
The old council had referred a resolution
comforting the power to make these contracts
to the health and hospitals committee. DR.. Kill
vington fully explained the system as it had
been formulated and examined while the de-
partment was under his administration. For
the benefit of the new board he went over
every part of the garbage system, and fully
explained its growth. the details of which
are familiar to the public. When he had fin
ished, the board consulted for a few mo-
ments more, decided to take no further ac-
ton on the matter in hand until after the
next council meeting, subscribed to a SOL
emn pledge of secrecy and went home.

Tonight the council committee on
legislation will meet again at the city
hall. Various city officials and sundry
public bodies will be there to ask for
money. Comptroller Armstrong, or his
deputy, Joshua Rodgers. will then rise
and tell those men why they cannot
have the money. They will be dlsap-
pointed, but powerless to do aught to

to reopen partially healed wounds.
Sometimes, however, it is necessary.
1t is called for in connection with this
question of money for next year. Dur
ing the late campaign the organs OF
the then administration were forever
harping upon the splendid financial
record of that administration. They
never Wearied of telling what maryelS
in the way of public improvements had
been wrought. To them. the achieve

When Is an Express Compa ny
Common Carrier?
The suit of The Plymouth Clothing Compa-
ny against The American Express Company
brought forward rather an interesting point.
The clothing firm consigned shipment OF
clothing to the express company to be deliy-
cred at Grnnell. 10. The shipment laid at
the depot for a time and was finally lost. In
the suit Frank Davis argued for the express
company that they had acted as common car.
riers, and were net liable after the goods had
arrived at the depot during which time they
only sustained the relation of warehousemen
to the shippers. The Plymouth company
maintained that they had card pasted on
the package instructing the agent to return
the same If not delivered in ten days. Their
attorney claimed that the card made a con-
tract between the parties. The argument
came up on motion by Mr.. Davis to discuss
the case on his pleadings. and Judge Hooker
did So The plaintiff asked for stay of
thirty days, which was granted.

THE MT. CURVE SUIT.
Mrs. Palmer Claims the Property
Is Still Her Own.


The damage suit of Ada j. Palmer against
Mrs. Worthinglon, the outcome Of the Mt
Curve avenue battle of some time ago, is on
trial before Judge Hicks. The suit is for
S., 900 personal damages. 1t seems that the
Worthngtons bought the Planners residence
on foreclosure and they refused to vacate,
barncading their house to prevent an en-
trance. One day Mrs. Palmer went down
town and the Worthingtons came in and took
possession, throwing the furniture in the
street.
Mrs. Palmer and her son came home and
crawled in through the coal hole in the Gel
lar. A rumpus ensued in which Mrs. Palmer
claims she received bodily injury. The affair
was a nine days wonder at the time, and the
outcome of the trial will be watched with in
terest Mrs Palmer claims that when the
foreclosure was made the papers were served
upon her husband, when she was the owner
of the property. Therefore she insists that
the title has never actually passed from her.
Another suit will probably be begun TO set
aside the foreclosure proceedings.

Dir. Smith, of st. Paul. ssid: I'VE never had
a revival in our city. There have been few

Thinks So-Relief for Dakota.

Yesterday the board of trade tackled the
immigration question, The principal cause
Of complaint seemed to be that Minnesota
people have lost sight of the immigrant, with
the result that he is seeking other lands.
Several of the members thought that the old
bureau of immigration should be revived.
They proposed to memorabilia the legislature
but Judge Atwater said the question was
already being considered by the legislature.
Finally the question was referred to a com
mittee on immigration which viii be ap-
pointed in the course of couple of weeks.
Capt. j. Reno and Nelson Williams, were
two weeks ago appointed committee OIL re-
lief for Dakota, and to them was referred to
problem Of providing for about 800 destitute
families in Mcintosh county, North Dakota.
They reported having received $3.50 in cash
donations.

LINEN AT THE EXPO.
Proposition to Transform the Big
Building Into q Mill,

Tits now proposed to turn the big EXPOSE
ton building into a linen MILL There are
acres of space in the big structure which are
unoccupied for ten months every year. Sew
eral business men have long been figuring on
how to utilize that space. These men have
now concluded that linen mill, requiring a
deal of space, but employing lit
lie heavy machinery that can be moved
without difficulty, is just the. thing;
The purpose Of the exposition board of
committee on legislation, was to secure such
a bill as will enable the management to use
the building for some manufacturing enter
prise as has been indicated. 1t is the inten-
ton TO have small linen mill in operation
during the next exposition, after which the
whole building will be given over to that
manufacture.

Judge A. LELAND appeared before the

paper on ''Some Needed Reforms in Taxa

were these: The provision of the constitu-
ton which provides for the taxation of all
sorts of property should be expunged first of
all. Then the tax on all sorts of credits, as
bonds. mortgages, or money, should be
abolished Next those articles of property
which are liable to escape the eye of the as
SCISSOR should be dropped from the list. so
that an honest man might not be taxed more
heavily than his weather. but more unscrup-
ulous neighbor. In that way he would have
taxation narrowed down 10 those articles
which could not be concealed by the owner
If that should eventually become the single
tax we'll ana good. Next Monday John W
