a little piece of realism not on the
bills was enacted at the Grand opera
house last night. Wallace d. Shaw, of
the County Fair company, owes some
body in Minneapolis s54, which they
have been trying to collect whenever
that well-known character actor came
to town. Last May punishment pro-
ceedlngs were begun, the papers being
served on Charles Osgood, manager of
the County Fair company, then play
ing at the Grand. The creditor
did not get his money, however,
Last night Deputy Sheriff Charles +.
Miller attached the box Office receipts.
Manager Thompson, with two of his as

Miller had stopped by applying his
BACK TO the ticket window and trying to
get hold OF what money was already in.
Manager Thompson asked to be per-
mltted to go ahead with the sale of
tickets until his patrons were all taken
care OF, and then the matter could be
amlcably adjusted in some way. But the
deputy, with newnesS which caused
the o!d-tlme advance agents who were

not admit of any delay. He wanted all
the money right away quick, without
even the fOrmaIty of counting it, One
OF the attaches brought in Officer Brack-
EFT, who talked considerable sense to
the officious deputy. But Miller was
not to be reasoned with. He reached
for the money and pulled his gun on
Manager Thompson. Mr.. Thompson
(who, by the way, has been in Mon
tana) didn't scare worth a cent. and
maintained his ground and coin as
well. The manager of the show, Mr..
Thomas, reached for a chair, and but
for the good sense and admirable nerve
or Mr.. Thompson, there would have
probably been free fight. Lieut..
Cochran, who had been telephoned for
by Mr.. Thompson, arrived OH the scene
with two officers and the matter was
talked over. Manager Thomas finally
paid the bill and settled the squabble. 1t
was the unanimous opinion of large
number Of people who were witnesses
to the bullying officiousness of Deputy
Sheriff Miller that he made an ass of

CUTTING DOWN EXPENSES.
The Committee on Ways and
Means Takes Another Slash at
the Department Estimates.

While the rest of the city government was
enjoying the holiday occasioned by Mime
apolis day at the State Fair, the committee
on ways and means quietly took possession
of City Clerk Haney's deserted office and
proceeded to get in its deadly work on the
estimates furnished by the various depart
ments as "a basis for the tax levy.
The committee has already done some little
slashing but it has been found that unless
the estimates are cut still farther the tax
levy will exceed all reasonable bounds.

various department is Sl,033940 The city

HOW ABOUT THIS?
Can the Board of Education Re-
flute Mr.. Forbes Statement,

Alexander Forbes, of the school book pub
fishing firm of Sheldon & Co., is i'll the city
on business connected with his firm. He has
had something TO say about the recent change
in text books in the schools of Minneapolis
He makes some points which, if true, put
different light on the explanation of the
members of the board of education. He says
that the board had no reason for throwing
out the books of Sheldon d. Co. arithmetics,
and that they have made incorrect statements
OF the alleged saving TO the purchasers by the
charge. In the table made up by the board
showing the cost OF the books thrown out
and OF the books ordered, Sheldon's First
Book Graded Examples is included among
the books discarded and figures in the COM
parative statement. Mr.. Forbes says that
this book did not cost the schools q cent. 1t
was used merely for supplementary work
and was donated to the schools when the
other Sheldon arithmetics were adopted Mr..
Forbes makes this table. showing the cost of
the books thrown out and the books adopted:
Sheldon's First Book Graded Examples 80
Sheldon's Complete Arithmetic. .. 81
Olney's New Elementary Geometry. " / 25
Avery's Elements Natural Philosophy. l. 10

wan;wor;b: Goono;r ....''-'...-. 10
Cages Introduction to Physics. ......... 100
So 20
This shows a saving OF only II cents. Then
Mr. Forbes adds this which makes it appear
that the board of education was not working
very hard in the interest OF economy when
the change was ordered:
THAT the change was made hastily and
without securing the interests of the people
of Minneapolis it is only necessary to state
that the very books for which the pupils of
Minneapolis are compelled to pay an ex-
change price of 20 cents and 45 cents the
TTan M n alNNNG ~ nAsw
are receiving for their old books without
paving one cent. The scools of Milwaukee,
Wis. are offered these very books at even
exchange. Why should Minneapolis paw
thousands of dollars 10 get books for its
schools whi ch hundreds of cities are being
impOrtuned to take for nothiug?'
