night to the best house of the week. If

She has ample opportunities in THE

and she makes use of them. She is sur
rounded by capable company of spe-
cialty performers. Among them are
Joseph OFT, Sherman Wade, Joseph Har-
rington and Lena Merville. Miss Mer-
vile sings and dances as charmingly as
ever. Miss Phyllis Allen has a rare

Only three more performances of

EFFECT AT THE GRAND.
Some of the Changes Consequent
Upon the Mana geriaI Shift.

The change in the management of the
Grand opera house was the chief topic
of conversation on the streets yester-
day. There is little to say relative to
the change further than what was pub
lished in the GLOBE yesterday morning.
The management merely reverts to j.
Frank COnklin, the old manager. Since
he gave up the Grand he has been the
manager of the Arcade Investment
company. He says that he is sorry to
go back to theatricals. He has gained
in flesh since he stepped out, and feels
in every way better than he did when
he was looking after the wants of a
capriciOus public. But he has to come
to it. Next Monday night he will again
assume the reins. There will be a
sharp return to the old policy of the
Grand. SAID Mr.. COnklin yesterday:
''There will be three marked changes.
There will be no Sunday night shows.
Danz's orchestra will reappear; the
help will be changed to quite an extent,
and the programmes will be changed so
that they Will meet the demands of the
public. | am confident that public SEN
timent demands these changes"
Mr.. COnklin frankly aScrbes the fail
ure of Messrs. Parker & Thompson to
make the venture a success to bad luck.
de says that they mad the house under
favorable terms. He thinks that they
made mistake when they opened the
house Sunday night, as that excited
public sentiment against them. Other
than that, ill-luck was responsible for
everything. The list of attractions
played by Parker q Thompson shows
that better line was never put
oil at the Grand, or at any house
in the Northwest. The financial part of
the transfer has been arranged to the
satisfaction of everyone. The bonds
men (among whom. by the way. the
Metropolitan bank was not as stated
yesterday will not be called upon to
make good anything. The manage
ment is not in arrears. They saw where
they were going and wisely declin ed to
sink a lot of money. The lease is mere
ly cancelled. Parker & Thompson step
out and j. Frank Conklin steps in.
The first change that the shift has en-
tailed is the appointment of A. Z. Zonne
as assistant general manager of the
theaters. Mr.. Conklin will have gem
eral charge of the houses. but they will
be under the immediate direction Of Mr..
Zonne. MIR. Zonne is young man who
has been in Mr.. ConAlin's employ for

RAILWAY COACHES.
Preparations to Build Them by
the Northern Car ComDany.


The reorganized Northern Car COM
pany has widened the field of its opera
tons. 1t is prepared to build railway
coaches as well as the cars used on street
railway. 1t is in the field for any sort
of car work that may be floating around
loose. 1t will take all it can get. Under
the reorganization the concern has a
capital stock of S250,000, of which $780,
O00 is paid up. The new officers of the
company are: President, G. p. Jones !;
vice president, w. E. Steele: treasurer
and general manager. ID. NJ. Gilmore,
who was with the Gilmore Furniture
company, of this city, seventeen years;
and secretary, George p. Stearns. The
superintendent is e. b. Manner, who was
for twenty-three years with the Gilbert
Car company, of Troy, n. Y, as work
man, general foreman ana superin-
tendent
The company has just finished a
couple of cars for the Minneapolis sys-
tenn. and has completed new outfit for
the Duluth lines. The company is now
at work on an order for fourteen more
cars for the local system, and will build
fourteen open cars for the summer bus
mess. There is some talk of rebuilding
the old bOb-tailed cars into modern cars.
If adopted, the plan will be to take two
old cars, cut off the ends and make the
two into new car.

everything that will assist the hard

not settled upon the location of the
headquarters yet, but they promise that
nothing will be found wanting.
whoever told you that the members
or the convention committee are trying
to monopolize all the honor to be got
out of the convention" said John
Goodnow to GLOBE man yesterday,
was talking without reason. L do not
know of man on the committee who is
anxious to get the job of working for
the city and robbing his business from
now until next June. When the execu-
tive committee returned from Washing
ton with The convention III the baggage
car there was a need of quick action on
some points. We had to have some
money, 1t was necessary to get around
to these thotelS and see that all the
rooms were not reserved for every out
slider that mag choose to come to the
convention. The original committee
met and took action on those mat
tiers. The committee is in the har-
ness, and, as the work must
be dene, they have undertaken
to do it, without waiting to be coaXed.
There is not going to be such large
supply of honor in it that any one need
worry about getting on the committee,
and the life of every man connected
with it will be made burden by the
seekers after seats in the convention
hall''
Hon. Dwight Lawrence, the New
York member of the Republican ma
tional committee, is expected in Mime
apolis in day or two. lie may arrive
today. 1t is believed that he comes to
arrange for quarters for the New York
delegation to the convention. Col. John

A. l.. Conger. of Ohio, that he is ready
to come to Minneapolis as soon as Chair
man Clarkson is.

THEY ARE OFF DUTY.
Information Regarding King
and Doyle Hard to Get From
Henderson,
But the Two Detectives Are
Undoubtedly Dropped From
the Force.
Settled That Minneapolis Will
Have Another Exposition
Next Year.
Batch Of Convention Gossip
Pump Investigation Sehed-
uled for Today.

Mayor Winston went to Chicago on
Wednesday evening, and, contrary to
his previous statements, took action be-
fore he went in the matter of King and
Doyle. That is, he took action in his
own peculiar way. Although the chief
executive had stated at o'clock on
Wednesday evening that he was not
yet ready to announce his lOng-delayed
decision upon the question. and that
there was no likelihood that he would
do so until his return, he held
secret conference before he
left with Supt Henderson, and the re-
suit was that King and Doyle were
quietly relieved from duty. An intima-
ton of this fact reached the GLOBE yes
terday afternoon, and representative
of the paper called upon Supt. Hender-
son. when the following conversation
took place:
Major, has anything been done with
King and DOyle?"
well, sir, have nothing to say"
II understand that they have been
relieved from duty. Is that fact?''
Il have nothing to say"
"Y OH don't mind saying whether they
are still on duty or have been suspended
or permanently removed from the de-
tecClVe force. 90 Y0u?'
They are not OH duty"
"Well, what is their present position?
Have they been permanently removed?"
Il should not say that. They are not
on duty"
Well, have they been simply sus-
pended?'
II suppose you might call it that.
They are not on duty"
When this move, on the part of the
mayor, became known last evening it
Occasioned untavOrable comment on all
sides. 1t is clearly evident, and is well
understood that this quiet suspension is
but step preparatory to quiet remov-
al just as soon as the matter Sh all have
blown over, and the mayor has been Sc
verely criticised for not having re-
moved King and Doyle directly when
he found 1t necessary instead OF trying
to do it SO that no one would know it.
A prominent Democrat said last even
ing:
II think the mayor has made mis-
take in this matter. | sympathize with
King and am sorry 10 see him in
trouble, but at the same time | think the
mayor erred in ever putting him OH the
detective force. He knew that King
had great many enemies, and that
every move he made would be carefully
watched, and even if nothing wrong
could be found in his actions, charges
would be preferred against him anyway.
And when the mayor found 1t necessary
to let these men 90 he should have done

PRIMA DONNA's GRIEF.
She Comes From New York and
Then Loses Her Job.

Harriet Avery Strakosch, prima
donna, has sued the Andrews Opera
company for 1906. She sets up breach
of contract as her ground for action.
Nine. Avery-Strakosch, in her com
plant. says that she was engaged to
sing with the Andrews company at the
Lyceum theater, in this city, for six
weeks at salary of S100 a week. She
came on from New York to I'LL the en-
gagement, spending $50 for travelling
expenses and $500 for special wardrobe.
She opened on Nov. 10, and was told to
quit on Nov. "a. The Andrews people
paid her $50, and told her to sing no
more. But the lady insists on singing,
and she will sing for just SS05-S600 for
salary, $500 for wardrobe and IS balance
due Oh travelling expenses.

GUILE FORGOT HIMSELF.
His Amusing Break While in the
Jury Box.

eCOmmissionerGuile relapsed
into all absent-minded fit yesterday
which afforded great amusement to the
spectators and attaches of the municipal
court. Guile was present as a juryman
in civil case on trial before Judge
Mahoney, and occupied his chair in the
jury box with his accustomed careless
grace.
His mind, however, was absent, and
as the case proceeded he lost himself in
pleasant reverie Of Central America
or some other equally interesting place,
and bliSSful smile spread over his
cOuntenancI. While in this state he
unconSciOusly drew from his pocket a
cigar which he stuck into his mouth,
and moment later lighted a match
with noise plainly audible to every
occupant of the room. and cOOlly pro-
ceeded to smoke. Judge Mahoney sat
aghast at this apparently heinouS breach
of court etiquette. but in a moment or
two recovered himself, and, taking in
the situation, raped on the bench and
mildly but firmly reprimanded Mr..
Guile, who blushed to the roots of his
hair.
