found guilty of the Redwood county
murder committed in 1899.
The history of this case is fresh in
the memory of the reading public. The
first jury disagreed, but at the second
trial Rose was found guilty. An APP
peal was taken to the supreme co urt
upon the same grounds that were
claimed in the Clifton-Holden case, and
a decision in the Rose case was held in
allegiance for the ruling of the supreme
court of the United States. Every pos
sible legal relief was resorted to, but
every effort has proven futile.
Now the people from Roses town are
exerting their influence upon the COVER
nor as related. The movement has not
taken definite shape as yet, but regu-
lar petition is expected every day at the
capitol. Many letters have been re-
ceived by his excellency, and, it is
stated, many prominent citizen have
called upon him personally to secure
executive clemency on the premises.
Attorney General Clapp explained
that he had not been consulted in the
matter, and had therefore no infOrma
ton to give for publication. He
acknowledged that he is aware of the
general movement as outlined above,
but did not care to offer suggestion or
prediction.

THE AZOTINE CONTRACT
misunderstanding Cleared Up in
a Council Commit tee.

misunderstanding Cleared Up in
Council Commit tee.
The council committee on streets held
a prOtracted session last evening. 1t
grappled with the garbage que stion
with an earnestness that promises an
early solution of the sanitary problem
that has been delayed so long.
The council had instructed the city
clerk to advertise for sealed proposals
for gathering dead animals and gar
bage, and also for diSpOSing of the same.
The bids were received, and it was the
purpose of last nights meeting to award
contracts. The AZOtine company,
Z about which so much has been said
and written the past year and a
half, sent in a communication protest
ing against the award of a contract to
another concern and alleging that it has
a bona fude contract to dispose of the
garbage, etc. The contract has three
and half years to run. This company
also appeared in person and by attorney
to further its written protest. 0. E.
Holman appeared in this capacity.
There was quite an Oratorical pyrOtech-
mic display, in which the corporation
attorney and the members of the council
and Mr.. Holman on the other partici-
pated.
1t was finally concluded that the bet
ter way was to refer the communication
of the Azotine company to the corpora
ton attorney, and such disposal was
made and the committee will meet
again Friday night for further consider
alton.
In the course of the debate the Azo-
tine company explained that it had a
Mertz plant III South st. Paul, and that
it was willing to cOncede to the wishes
of the citizens of the Fifth ward, and
abandon the old site, where its plant
was burned down in the spring, and
dispose of all the matter i'll South St.
Paul in the FIXTURE. This proposition
appeared to meet with the appreciation
of the members of the committee. 1t
will remove the nuisance from the city,
and still furnish an avenue for the dis
posal of the city's offal, refuse and the
dead ANIMALS.
The contract held by the St.Paul San
itatiOn company for the collection of the
garbage has expired, and it will be nee
esSary to award a new contract, either
to this or some rival concern that has
competent facilities.

CLARK IS CUTE.

The Boiler Inspector and Aspir-
ants TO Run Threshing Machines.
Chief Boiler Inspector Clark has an
interesting matinee at his Office in the
capital nearly every day of late. Aspir
ants to run threshing machine engines
are numerous, because of the great de-
mand throughout the agricultural dis
trictS. Mr.. Clark submits all these ap-
plicants for a license to the usual eX-
animation, and ne finds good many in
competent men who are trying to avail
themselves of the opportunities offered,
but he grants no license unless he is
satisfied the applicant is capable of run
ming an engine. The result is majority
are turned away disappointed.
There are lots of well-infOrmed men,
and farmers, too" said the chief in
spectOr yesterday. "WhO feel that the
requirements in an engineer to run a
common threshing machine engine are
very slight. This is wrong idea, and
we had an illustration of it at Litchfield
the other day. The boilers are often
dangerous, and they need competent
engineers to handle Them"

12,OOO,OOO People From the
United States Alone Will Attend
the Worlds Fair-How Will
They Get There and Where Will
They Stop?
The above is a careful estimate on
fifty-tWo states, showing the complete
number of American people that Will
visit and stay in Chicago from one to
three weeks during the worlds fair; anq
the paramount question to be answered
is how can Chicago ever take care OF
such an immense travel? All the rail-
roads will be taxed to their fullest
passenger capacity, and certainly
every hotel, boarding and lodging
house will be Oyerrun so that
thousands of people will find them
selves without either proper food
or shelter, if they do not take the time
by the forelock and secure from the
Worlds Fair Transportation Company,
which secures the holder firSt-clasS
round trip railway ticket over any road
they may select, with firSt-claSS room
and board in one of the first-claSs hotels
of the city; also admission tickets to the
fair for six days. The company's tray
cling passenger agents will look after
duQ oCC tllut tiOJ eiAS
annoyed with their baggage, or transfer
to and from hotel.
You will have every care and comfort
provided by you by our company with,
out expense to you. Remember, it will
be the millions and not the millionalres,
that will make the coming and greatest
exhibition ever known to the world
grand success, and an everlasting credit
to America. The masses and not the
classes will do all this, and will go from
the desk, orkshOp, mill, store and fac
tories; every type of the human race
will be represented. This is as it should
be, for the masses are the people that
have built and control the world, and
without them we would have no worlds
fair. Now is the time; doDot let the OPP
portunity for yourselves, family
or friends go by without joining the
Worlds Fair Transportation Company,
and have your entire trip, expenses
paid, for so per cent less than you could
possibly do it, and all for the very small
sum of so cents week, deposited in the
Germania bank. There is not a man,
woman. boy or girl in st. Paul that can
not do this, and receive the browning
pleasure of a lifetime.

A Kansas City Brakeman Comes

George BowdOr, a brakeman on the
Kansas City road. died early yesterday
morning at st. JOseph's hospital from
the results of injuries received a few
hours earlier at Rich Valley, eighteen
miles from st. Paul. He was standing
on top of his car, when the spout of
water tank struck him on the head, and
he was swept from the moving train.
He was not missed for some time.
and the train ran back to a point
where he was found lying thirty feet
from the track and terribly injured. He
was put on the train and brought to the
city. but died soon after being admitted
to the hospital. Deceased was twenty
two years old, and resided at Rockford,
ILL.,, boarding when in st. Paul at l4S
South Wabasha street. The remains
were shipped by Mccarthy IL DOnnelly
to Rockford last evening. Bowdor was
one of the party which went swimming
in the river at South Park few days
ago, when J. W. HayWOrth, brake
man, was drowned.

ST. ANTHONY POsTOFFICE.
Postmaster Pickard Makes Sew
eral Points on the Department.

Postmaster PlCkard Makes sew
eral Points on the Department.
Ex-Gov. McGill and many others of
st. Anthony Park are continually
quoted as opposed to free delivery at
that suburb. In an interview with the
postmaster at the Park some new and
important facts are brought to light.
The special inspector recently sent out
by the department at Washington made
certain definite and explicit promises,
among them that the present Office
would remain the same as it now is-the
name, general delivery and box faclll-
ties: also, the mails would be as
frequent as at present, nine mails daily,
including the fast Eastern mail; that
there would be two foot and two
mounted carriers, four in all; that with
the postotfice kept as now it would
amount to carrier service in addition to
their present facilities. These prom
ises with others, were highly satisfac-
tory to both Gov. McGill and Gov.
Marshall, and received their hearty con-
sent, as it was precisely what they and
others we're endeavOring to get the de-
partment committed to. The original plan
of simply abOlIShing the office and not
even guaranteeing as good service
as now exists was one they would not
submit to. But there are several things
SAYS Postmaster Pickard, that the pat
rons of this office should consider Seri-
ously. First, will collections from the
various street boxes be made and
brought in in time to catch outgoing
mails? Secondly, will the heavy east
ern mail arriving at $3.50 p. IN. as we'll
as the large mails arriving at 4:3O p. m.
and $3.50 p. H., be delivered by carrier
that afternoon or the next morning? As
it now is, those mails can all be obtained
at the office. The inspector assured
that only the mails now received at 7:3O
a. m. and l 80 %. m. would be delivered
and collections would only be made so
as to cover outgoing mails at
noon and night. This, therefore, makes
practically seven mails less daily, with
a probable delay of over twelve hours
in the delivery of the heaviest and most
important mails now received. Should
the general delivery be kept as at pres
ent. and as the inspector stated 1t would
be, why then these other later and i'm
| poItant mails could be obtained by the
people, as we'll as their letters mailed IN
| time to catch the fast mail east and 9th
er outgoing evening mails. 1t was all
these points that many have striven to
! have guaranteed by the department,
and, if not so guaranteed, preferredtthe
present service to a decidedly poorer
one. in this sense only can Gov. Nc
| Gill be quoted as opposed to free dellv-
cry. The inspector was not certain that
| the largest patron Of the Office, the state
experiment station, could be served by
carrier, as they are located outside of
| the city limits.

MONEY GALORE !.

With the great crop now
being harvested will come a
great abundance Of money
to the Northwest. This al
ways means speculation, and
there is nothing of which our
people are so fond of as spec
ulating in real estate. With
St. Paul and Minneapolis
growing at their presentrate
our real estate is the best
speculation in the country,
and people are finding this
out. After our last boom
many people here and some
elsewhere thought it was the
end Of real estate profits,an
because real estate was dull
for a time that the city was
gone to the bad. But it has
really done better than ever
before. Outsiders have found
this out, and some few peo-
pie here know it. The fool
killer has been around this
year and scared the croakers
away, and this fact, with our
great crops, has started
things on a new boom. Visit
the factories, the wholesale,
merchants, or the retailers
and keep your eyes open, and
you will see this for your
self. Activity in real estate
will follow this, and it has,
in fact, already begun. For
a while you will not notice
it. But look back a year
from now an d you will see
the difference. In a growing
city real estate boonns are
like waves in a rising flood.
One comes and reeedes, and
each one that follows goes far
Their than the one before. The
purchases that are being made
show that the wave is COM
ing again. So buy now and
you get the benefit. II you
want a home buy now and
get the benefit Of low prices.
If you want an investment
or a speculation, by all means
buy now.
We are now Offering prop
erty at ridieulously low
prices, just to keep the ball
rolling. But we shall raise
them soon. Come and buy
now at your own price. If
you wait you will have to
pay our price, and then you
will want to be kicked by long-eared
guadruped, and will call on yourself to
do the Job. We have the best property
in South St Paul, the great manulact-
uring place Of the present and future,
and will sell lots worth $500 to $1,000
for $3.50 TO $500 TO imprOvers.
We have also 200 acres Of the very
best land for market gardens, e0nven-
iently located, which we will sell in
quantities 10 suit. We have good
property in all parts Of the city, and
some specially fine business property.

FIGURES THAT TELL.
The Assembly Kick Over tn
School Board PAY Roll.

The ASS emily Kick Over the
School Board Pay Roll.
Those of st. Paul's citizens who find
both pleasure and profit in reveling in
economics, it is claimed, have been mis-
led and prejudiced against the integrity
of the board of school inspectors by the
action of the assembly. The latter body
recently refused to allow the pay roll of
the educational department, alleging
that the expenses had been increased by
the inspectors. But quite the reverse is
the real state of affairs. Official data
shows incontroYertibly that the board
has curtailed the cost of main
tanning the public school sys-
tenn in a marked degree. The
change in the schedule of salaries
that excited the suspicion of the assem-
blymen was found necessary by the in
spectors, owing to previous inadvert-
ency. That is, three teachers had been
paid special salaries, but the board had
remedied this irregularity by placing
these three on the schedule of salaries.
This made total increase of just $500,
whereas the board has made total de-
crease of $50, ZOO. OF this amount an
item of $4,000 was saved by the discon-
tinuance of about sixty teachers, and
the reduction in janitOTs' salaries in
creased the saving SO, 900 more to the
In addition to this, the board has eff
fected further reductions as follows,

whisky was purchased at his
place on Aug. &. the flask be-
ing introduced in court. The
barkeeper testified that he sold nothing
but temperance drinks, and his evidence
was corroborated by Benson, who
caused much amusement by stating that
when the countycommiSsioner paid him
a visit he treated them to liquor. This
was, however. at his residence. A num-
Der of witnesses were called who testi-
fed that they had tried to purchase
liquor at Benson's place on many &C.
casiOns, but did not succeed. Judge
Twohy held that there was not sutfi-
cient evidence to hold Benson to the
