cy, nor will one be made until Mayor
WinSton's return. DR.. Kelly reported
on dump. The site considered for the
erection of dump, where garbage may
be loaded on cars for shipment to Brook
lyn, is out of the question 1t is on
Fifth street north, between Fourth and
Fifth avenues south. 1t cannot be used
because the contract between the Great
Northern and st. Louis railroads pre-
vents freight traffic over passenger
tracks. There are two available dump
sites between st, Anthony falls
and the Franklin avenue bridge.
One is on the east bank, below
the university. and the other
where the present dump is. below Wash
ington avenue bridge DR.. Kelley rec
commended that the present dump be
used, and all refuse. except night soil,
offal and dead animals, be used to fill
Seventh street north of the tracks. A
dump-keeper must be employed to see
that no Objectionable material be de-
posted there. The health department
wants the Fourth ward to pay the
dump-keeper. Potter objected, but
finally gave in on condition that Aid.
Loye does not object. DR.. Kelly rec
commended that the quarantining
of measles be discontinued after
May 1. People pay no attention to
measles cards. The notices don't keep
the nelghborS away. Sometimes whole
family has measles, and are on the road
to recovery before the health depart
ment is notified. Moreover, over half
the time of the inspectors is occupied in
putting up cards. Aid. Brazie feared
that if quarantining were discontinued
cases of scarletina might be reported as
measles. The consequences might then
be serious. Action was deferred. DR..
Kelley was authorized TO make needed
repairs on the quarantine hospital Aid.
Gray said the present condition of the
hospital Is disgraceful. A fence should
be built around the potter's field to keep
out cows and hogs. Graves should be
properly marked, too. d. K. Hanscom,
night keeper of the Washir G on avenue
dump, was summarily discharged. He
has not been attending to his duties.
John GOodspeed, vouched for by Aid.
Gray, was appointed in his stead.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The HanlOn Brothers gorgeous spectacular
and dramatic pantomime "Superba'' delight
co a lage audience at the Grand opera house
last evening. The entertainment is novel
one. and its merits were noted at length in
the GLoBE last Tuesday 1t is perhaps, the
best spectacle Of its class ever offered Il Min
neapolis audience. The engagement is Tor
the week.
The shaking up the Wilbur Opera com
pany received last week had no detrimental
effect apparent in last evening production
OF the Bohemian Girl the presentation of
the tuneful opera being fairly good. The
event of espscial interest was the debut
of Miss Gilberta Davidson, of St
Paul, daughter OF J. II. David
son. Miss Davidson essayed the part
the queen of the Gypsies upon two day S
notice, so the trial was hardly fair one OF
her powers; besides the part is written for Il
cOntTaltO and she has meZZO-sOprano voice.
she, however, acquitted herself very credit
ably, and sang very sweeuy. her voice show
ing evidence OF considerable cultivation
doubtless has a future before her. OF the
balance of the company, E. 4. Clark. as the
count is entitled TO especial mention.
a large audience was much pleased last
mig ht at the Pence with the very excellent
vaudeville programme presented by Sheri-
dan tlynns company. Ii is one Of the
cleYerest and most entertaining shows vet
seen here James F. lioey, brother of "Old
known relative. He maintains their reputa-
ton admirably. and causes roars of laughter.
Sheridan and Flynn, the men who wrote

sing some very catchy new songs.

CHARTER GOSSIP.
What the Council Did for IT,
What Merriam Demands.

What the Council Did for IT,
What Merriam Demands.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow"
That phrase is pregnant with triteness,-
yet ever true. Its truth is being ex-
emplified by the course which the new
charter is taking. Strange though it
may seem, action on the charter is in
luenced by a little matter that came up
in the council at the last meeting.
Mayor WinStOn's veto of the curbing
resolution was before the council. Aid.
Rand moved to postpone action on the
veto for two weeks and the motion was
carried. Later the vote to postpone
was reconsdered. The curbing Ques-
ton was again before the council.
Then substitute for the vetoed reso-
luton was introduced and passed. The
veto was disposed of without bein I.
voted on directly. There was a doubt
in Acting Mayor POtter's mind as to
whether such action was good parlia-
/ mentary practice. He went over to St.
Paul and asked. among other parlia-
mentarians, the opinion of Lieut.. Gov.
Ives, the presiding officer in the senate.
Yes" Ives said, that proceeding was
perfectly regular; in accord with good
parliamentary law" Ives opinion was
so published in the Minneapolis papers.
Well. Ives didn't fOresee then that the
Minneapolis charter would come back
from the governor and be disposed of
under precisely similar action. He
might have ruled differently if he had.
But he had given nOn-partisan Opin-
ion, and, unlike the governor, he had
the nerve to stand by it. Now the char
ter has show.
Gov. Merriam has told some members
of the Hennepin delegation just what
they must do with that charter to secure
his signature. He doesn't want them to
do much. He is very modest, unusually
so for Merriam. His demands are.
moreover. purely Republican-not in
the general. but in the partisan mean-
ing of the term. They must make one
OF two changeS-either have the charter
submitted to the people or confirm the
tenure of Office of every Minneapolis
Republican now feeding at the public
Manager That isn't much, is it? Only
more than any other politician since the
days of despOts has had the audaclty to
| demand in times of peace.
Well, it is just possible that the
aStute and acrObatic governor may not
be asked to affiX his signature to the
charter. If rumOr from st. Paul may
be believed, only a couple of votes are
necessary in the senate to pass the char
ter away above the bronze figure of
Justice on the state capitol. Through
the house the charter will go "a-whoOp-
ing" The governor should defer his
shouting. The forest is not yet in the
dim, distant past.

NEVER TOUCHED HIM.
But the officer Took Him in just
the Same.

Officer J. F. Sullivan, of the East
side station, shot man early this morn
ing, This man had been in Burgess sa-
loon, 202 Central avenue. Several
drinks were bought by him; then he
refused to pay for them. He
left the saloon. The barkeeper
followed and told Officer Sullivan
what the man had done. Sullivan
started toward him. The fellow pulled
a revolver. with the words: "YOu -
---. if you come near me FK kill
you" The officer continued to ad-
vance and the man fired two shots.
Sullivan then turned his gun loose. At
the first shot the fellow clapped his
hand to his side, turned and
ran into an alley. He was
found after a few minutes search be-
hind some ash barrels. Police Surgeon
Gibson examined the man from head to
foot at the lookup. There was not a
mark on him. He rolled on the floor.
muttered about Jesse James, and acted
as if he had been ''shot i'll the neck" too
often. Sullivan's bullet did not touch
him.

DISTRICT COURT BRIEFS.

Judge Lochren has flied his decision,
refusing the injunction against John
W. Hall, the blacksmith, to prevent his
working at his trade in the city. He is
the one who sold out his business and

tract should have stated expressly that
he was not to shoe horses for hire, to
gain that end.

STILL NO MONEY.

There Is No Crematory for the
Health Department as Yet.
The old question of lack of money
sufficient for the needs of the city came
up again at the joint session of the
council committees OIL health and hos
pitfalls and ways and means yesterday.
The health and hospitals committee
wants garbage crematory. The WAYS
and means committee must find the
money before 1t can be erected. A
Pennsylvania search warrant wouldn't
find the money. There is none. Be
tween $1,000 and $4,000 would build such
a crematOry as the health department
wants. Aid. Potter, as acting mayor,
was one of the committee. He
suggested that. as a favorable re-
port from the ways and means
committee was not very probable
action on the creamatory question be
deferred until after the city engineer
shall have reported on cost. Aid. Low
ell, OF tie ways and means. objected to
doing anything until the fate of the
charter should be settled. If the char
ter should pass, everything about the
city government in the way of drawing
plans. disbursing money. controlling
construction, ETC., would be changed.
Next year the addition of two mills 10
the tax levy will give the city plenty of
money. An addition of one more mill
to the levy last fall would have pro-
vided sl37.0O) more for the city. SO
action was deferred for two weeks. BY
that time the fate of the charter will be
settled.
The ways and means committee took
the elevator, and the committee on
health and hospitals resumed business.
The resignation OF E. q. O'DonneIl as
sanitary Inspector was accepted, the
resignation to take effect April l. No
