WANT MONEY AS USUAL.
Another State Institution Which
Must Have it.

uSE A1QV . He
The managers of the Minnesota State
Reformatory, through the president.
Hon. Robert a. Smith, mayor, have sub
mitted to the governor their second an
nual report, copies of which were issued
by the secretary of state yesterday.
The managers mention the absolute
and pressing necessity OF an apprOpri-
alton for the construction OF new cell
wing, and other permanent improve
ments to cost S147, ,020. The last appro-
priation of S66. 600 was only sufficient 10
complete the building, and as prisoners
were received during 1889, the current
expense fund was drawn upon for fur
niShing and equipping the prison. thus
causing deficit in the fund of $606.59.
The managers are of the opinion that
eventually the institution will be self
sustaining. as during the past year the
sales of granite amounted to $6,256.97,
with cut stone material on hanG, $l2,-
222, 20; total of S1S,479.17. Deducting
the cost of instruction, coal, powder,
etc., a net total of S14, 4,421.S5 is left, to-
gether with contracts for cut stone for
1891 of 10000.
The services of Albert Garvin, of Jol-
let, Ill.,, were secured during the year
as principal keeper, and his work is
highly commended by the board and
the superintendent. He left a position
worth 81 800 year, rent free, and as
the law only allows salary of $1,000,
the board recommends that the legisla-
ture raise the salary for this most effic-
lent officer.
No accommodation is made in the
reformatory for females, and the man
ayers suggest that if it is decided to
build an institution for females, it
should be near the present institution
at St. Cloud. In concluding their re-
port the managers dwell upon the i'm
,portant work of the institution, the OBJ
iect beng TO reform a class Of criminals,
not inheritably bad, but led by idleness
and bad associates, into criminal prac-
tees. young men principally. The
superintendent and officers are highly
commended for the faithful discharge
of their duties. and the managers rec
ommend that the Offices should he of
life tenure. and not subject to the WhimS
of any political party.
The number of prisoners in the re-
formatory on Jan. last was 1885, eleven
more than could be properly accom-
modated.
The general health of the inmates
was good. and the work accomplished
in the schools highly satisfactory. The
prisoners are taught trade, and every
moral persuasion is brought to bear
upon them. so that when they le ave the
institution they may become respecta-
ble and laW-abiding citizens.

1t is surprising the difference there is
III man when he is in office and when
he is out. A notable instance is the
case of L. e. Elliott, late private secre-
tary of the governor. When Elliott was
in the executive office it was an impoS-
Sibllity to ever get him to speak about
any subject, he always profesSed lgno-
rance when asked about any important
matter, and while always courteous and
polite gave little of his time to newSpa-
per men. Those who did not know him
very we'll accused him of putting Oh airs
because he was made the recipient OF
the secrets OF a millionaire governor.
But they were in error, for, hey! presto!
as soon as Elliott resigns and Tams
EiXby becomes his successor he be-
comes as communicative as young
miss just home from q visit East,
who is anxious to tell her friends
in five minutes ali the occurrences
of five months. Elliott is now engaged
in very large business manipuiationS in
Duluth. but he is often at the scene of
his former labors at the capitol, and he
will circulate from office to office with
that remarkable eXuberance of spirits
which is contagious. Elliott is very
happy when he can get story off OIL
TamS Bixby, and one day this week he
secured the attention Of some OF the
newspaper fraternity and told them Of
an experience which BXby went
through soon after he became the gov
errors private secretary.
One morning Bixby had started in
opening very heavy mail, when Wis
itor, evidently from the country, stepped
up to his desk.
is this the governors roqm?" he
asked in loud tone of voice. which
made the gentle Chief Clerk w. Ii. An
gell look up from his work, and the lady
Stenographer drop her papers and Col.
Wade cease in writing a political
speech.
Eyes, sir, it is" replied Tams. Is the
Governor in?''
mo, sir, he is not"
''Is MIR. Elliott, the secretary in'' was
the query.
mo, sir, he is not here"
''Well, well, who is that over there,
and THEREOF
"That is Mr.. Angel the chief clerk,
that IS our stenographer, and that Is
Col. E. z. Wade, of our political
bureau"
well, WE'LL" replied the visitor in
the office was watching the scene.
well. who are you," asked the visi-
tor.
"Oh, am Tams Bixby. the governors
private secretary, since Mr.. Elliott re-
signed"
''What, are you Tams Bixby? Well.
well; Pve often heard people up our
way talk about you, but darn me if you
look such - fool as people say you
are. Well, Pm glad to meet you any
how, Mr.. BiXby, and if you take my ad-
vice, don't feel hurt if people say you
are a - fool"
There was a roar of laughter in the
Office as the outspoken countryman left
the room, and Tams thinks to this day
that it was joke put upon him by
some of the boys.
Elliott tells the story with great gusto,
and says he is glad he did not postpone
his resignation for he might have met
the plain speaking stranger.

ONLY A WOMAN,

But She May Have Stood Betwe en-
Sage and His Ambition.
Energy, even if exercised by what ST.
Paul termed "the weaker vessel" can
overcome a host of opposition. This
theory sexemplifed in the case of Miss
Eva Mcdonald. VINO was a few days
ago elected as first assistant lecturer of
the National Farmers Alliance. Less
than year ago Miss Mcdonald
started on the road to public
notice as lecturer upon topics of
interest to labOrers in the field of
reforms directly in the interest of the
laboring and producing class of citi-
zenS. Her form of speech was so
bright and ready and her ideas so
clearly expressed, and, being i'll line
with the conservative spirit and need of
the times led to larger field Of action
than that compasSed by the Twin
cities, and she went about the state
during last summer and spoke in vari-
Gus places. At the meeting of the
State Alliance in this city a few
of the Alliance, notwithstanding
the fact that she had the jealous opposi-
tion of that well known sage, Ignatius
Donnelly, and some of his henchmen.
She then turned her attention to secur-
ing clerkship of one of the legislative
committees, and here she failed in the
support of the Sage referred slo, but she
emerged from the contest with another
victory. That she was elevated to the
imaOrtant position as lecturer of the Ma
tional Alliance at the convention in
Omaha is owing to her personal eff
forts and energy. AS a matter of
private information to the aforesaid
Sage, it might be stated that if his
preiudices and dislikes had not been ex-
hibited IN opposition to Miss Mcdonald
as they have been. it is possible that
an ambition dear to his heart might
have been encouraged at the conven-
tion of the National Alliance through
the efforts of Miss Mcdonald. who
seems to be in better favor with the
farmers than is the man who said, II
will be an eminent man when the ALI
ance is dead" 1t is barely possible that
if that lady had vouched for the Sage,
he would have been honored in some
way by the national convention.

Seems at the Bottom of the In
dian Troubles in Minnesota.
Now that the Indian troubles are over
III Dakota, an attempt is being made to
shift the scene of operations to Mime
sofa. During the past few weeks ru-
.mors Of troubles near the White Earth.
Bed Lake and Thief River Falls reSer-
vations have been spread broadcast,
causing the most serious apprehension.
iAdit. Gen. Mullen proceeded during the
past ten days to Thief River Falls and
HallOck and investigated the so-called
uprisingS, but found that the whole
affair had been grossly exaggerated,
aud that there was no danger OF any
systematic rising of the Indians. Late
on Friday another rumor Of rising
came from Argyle, near the White
Earth reservation, and telegram was
received by the governor asking for
state troops and arms and ammunition.
The dispatch also stated that many set
tiers were leaving their farms and COM
ing into Argyle, leaving all their pos
sessions behind them. and as a
severe snow storm was raging.
that many Of the women might

to whisky, and the United States au-
therties should certainly be little
more vigilant to prevent the sale of
whisky to the Indians. AdJt Gen. Null
len, in speaking of the Indian troubles
yesterday, expressed himself strongly
upon the matter Of allowing the Indians
to secure the very worst kind OF whisky.
He ridiculed the statement that it was
not possible for the redskins to Sc
cure it, for, said he. ''they get all
they want. The men who trade the
stuff with the Indians are lot of worth
less fellows; with no regular business,
and they supply the vile poison to the
Indians at an exorbitant price, and re-
ceive their pay in furs. cheating the In
dians Oh the trade. Though the red
skins are excited there is no danger of
an uprising, for they have mingled with
the settlers, and understand that they
have no show. Whenever there has
been any trouble whisky has been at the
bottom of it, for at other times they are
perfectly peaceful. 1t is time that the
men who viciate the laws of the United
States should be driven from the Indian
territories, and the wards of the coun-
try carefully looked after"

WEST SIDE REvELRY.
The Turnyerein Gives a Highly
Successful Bal MaSOue.

Perhaps the most thoroughly jolly
Paul for many moons, was that which
last night thronged the new hall at the
corner of South Wabasha and Colorado
streets. The only event that ever ap-
preached that of last evening in the
brilliance and variety of the costumes
displayed, was the memorable one given
by the NushkaS ovel year ago. AS
a rule bal maSque, wherever given, is
either very much success or very en-
tirely failure. 1t must be said OF the
event OF last night that Objectionable
features were conspicuous by their aD-
sence, and that no word but success is
adequate to describe the result. The
ball vas given by thieves. Side Turnver
Elm society, the members of which were
present in all sorts of costumes, utterly
inconceivable by any but a Turner.
There were, of course, the usual stock
SubjectS-the fat man and the lean man,
the tall and the Short-but these were
only landmarks, by the aid Of which
the spectator was enabled to pick
forms familiar to all st. Paul
people. For instance, the members
of a highly talented but unlucky dra-
matte company which walked home
from New Ulm, or somewhere up that
way, few weeks ago, bade duh care
and the theatrical profession adeu for
brief hour, and, attired as harlequins,
went in tor all the fun there
was to be had. Some youngster
forgetting that mans death is reason
enough for allowing him to rest, ap-
peared as the late Holy Joe, carrying an
enormous pair of padded feet. candle,
a pair of shoes and all the rest of the
paraphernalia the late Joseph used to
carry about with him. Another
appeared as that much abused
modern exponent of the dramatic art.
John l.. Sullivan, while still others
were bakers, butchers and German
musicians. To be exact, however, the
chief charm of the affair was i'll
the costumlng of the ladies. Mary
Queen of Scots stepped dreamily
through the measure of the Strauss
blue Danube" in the arms of youth
ful-looking knight clad in the regalia of
the sixteenth century. Marie AntOin-
cite was represented very we'll by an
other young lady, who had for her body
guard two nuns, whose black hoods and
somber robes looked strangely out of
place in such surroundings. The aesthetic
fad cropped out in the person OF Pc
tite demOselle, clad in a garb as YER
dant as the leaves in spring time, and
covered with sunfiowerS in full blossom.
To describe a third of the cos
tunes would require a novel as
voluminous as ''Robert EIsmere." but it
is enough to say that there were about
500 young folks there, who, one and
all, had tremendously good time, and
furnished amusement for a hundred or
So SO of spectators in the gallery. The
Turner's ball was gigantic success.

LAWYER McCatferty went deep down into

Sortment of techniealities which saved
several defendants from punishment.
First he secured the discharge of Mrs.
J. L. Coleman, who was accused of
keeping little child locked up in
room, without food or attention, for
twenty-iour hours. Agent HutchinS, of
the relief society, proposed to prosecute
the woman for cruelty to children, but
Mr. McCatferty annulIed the complaint
because it failed to state the name and
age of the child. Next came the
cases of Never & Coates, the pro-
prietors of the Senate saloon, who
were up on charges of harboring
women of ill-fame. Mr.. McCafferty
pointed out the fact that the ordinance

What Is an Indian?

which the question as to what proper
ton of native blood is necessary to con-
stitute an Indian was before Judge

the question before deciding the motion
for new trial. which, to a large eX-

by Mr.. McCatferty and discharged the

one and is marked contrast to the conn

Then this committee had four bankers,
Senators Compton, Smith, Welch and
Brown, and one capitalist. Ward.
Without casting any reflections upon
bankers as class, it is not necessary to
make an argument to prove that they
are not as class entitled to any such

has so much to say on bills affecting the
