The feeling has been growing among
physicians and others in any way con-
verSant with the facts in the case that
something should be done to check the
alarming increase OF some of the most
loathsome diseases which aff1ict man
kind. 1t is probable that the majority
of the people are in favor OF such ac-
ton. Sentiment and lack of courage
to recognize vice have been the greatest
deterrentS Of such legislation. The de-
mand for it has at length outgrOwn
those elements, and the abOve-men-
toned bill is the result. This bill, Ii it
becomes a law, will provide that the
inspection be done every week by ply
stefan working under the direction of
the department of health. 1t is possible
that provision will be made for pay ing

month in the municipal court from the

Rev. Smith Baker Gives the Unin-
itiated a Few Valuable Pointers.
The second lecture in the Caledonia
club course was delivered at the club
rooms last evening by Rev. Smith
Baker, of the Park Avenue Congrega-
tional church, the audience being a
large and appreciative one.
The lecturer was given "CourtShip''
for subject, and iC proved to be one
play his ability to work upon the
risibles of his audience, who were kept
in good humor throughout the long
talk. He opened his subject by an allu-
sion to divorces, stating at the same
time that he was probably begin
ming at the wrong end, like a
treatise in Arabic. In his opinion
the fact that divorces could be easily
obtained did not add to the number of
unhappy marriages. In communities
where the divorce laws made il an easy
matter to bring about separation, the
number of mismated couples was as
great as in those where the laws were
more stringent. Divorce was the re-
suit of unhappy marriages, and not a
cause that led up to them.
He then began upon courtship proper,
and gave the young women rather the
best of it all through. At the best, a
cOurtship was regarded rather as huge
joke, and wasn't entered into with the
seriousness it deserved. The serious
part came year or two after marriage.
He advised his hearers to make no joke
about it, but to try and feel that il was
as serious as religion itself. The mar

ROADS AND BRIDGES.
Mary Place Property Owners
Trouble a Council Committee.


Yesterday it was the turn of the coun-
ell committee on roads and bridges to
have lively session. They had it, 1t
was all over the opening of Mary place.
Mary place is not very large street,
and the contemplated opening will
make it only one block longer; but that
one block has become largeSlZed bone
of contention. Several interested prop
erty owners were before the committee
Yesterday to speak for and against the
opening. No accurate report of the
proceedings will be here attempted
Nothing short of COLLECTION of phono-
graphs in assCr.ed sizes, suited to all
manner of voices, would be equal to
such task. At times there were as
many as eight people talking at one
time, and all talking on different sub
ject. The general drift of the contro-
versy was all that could be gathered,
and that had to be scraped off the cell
ing.
The land through which Mary place
will be extended, if opened as projected,
is owned by II. G. Harrison, Harriet f.
Jackson and man named Green. All
of these, with the exception of Harrison,
favor the opening. The Jackson party
alleges that the other property owners
subject to assessment for the improve
ment who are Directing to the opening
are doing so at the instigation OF Har-
rison. A. 3. Jackson says that Harrison
has expressed to these property owners
his intention of making the city pay so
much for crossing his land that the
opening will cost tremendous amount.
Those liable to special assessor ents are,
in consequence, frightened. The prin-
cipal speakers before the committee
yesterday were II. g. Harrison, A. NJ.
Reed and A. B. jackson. Harrison op-
posed the opening because his land will
re taken for street purposes; Reed, be-
cause he feared the heavy special assess
ments. jackson favored it. At Que
point. after Mr.. Reed had stated his OBJ
jections, Jackson replied:
"Mr. Reed, if you will withdraw your
opposition to this opening, will find
you purchaser for your property. who
will pay you the original cost. with in
terest, taxes and special assessments
added"
Reed did not accept. Aid Loye was
the only member of the committee who
sided uneguiyocally with the DIRECTORS.

BELTS WAS A ROMANCER.
He Told Stories About Sugar
Plantation and a Fortune.

1t now appears that Louis Belts, who
who is now under arrest in st. Louis,
awaiting the arrival of Detective James
Hankinson, was something of ro-
mancer in his quiet. unassuming way.
Belts was member of Plymouth
church and seemed in all
respects thorough Christian.
Some time ago he gave notice that he
was about to come into possession of a
large estate. This story was believed
BY all who heard ii, and Mr.. Belts an
nounced that he would receive the drafts
for part of the money-SOme $4,000
Monday of this week, the same day
upon which he disappeared About
$4,000 OF this money he was to loan to
a well-known business firm in Min
neapoliS, and the notes were al
ready prepared for the signatures.
WITH the remainder he was to build
large tenement row down town. He
had seen contractor and builder and
had secured their prices, and had had
several preliminary consultations with
an architect. The final arrangements
for the building were also to have been
his standing Belts quietly borrowed
money in sums ranging from S25 to S75,
from various friends, promising to re-
pay Monday. These loans were all
made last week.
But there was one person with whom

lady at 424 First avenue north. He owed
her $50 for board. She, hearing he was
going away. quietly took possession of
his clothes while he was i'm bed on Sun
day night. In the trousers pockets were
some of the diamonds, which form the
basis for the D0nelson warrant. aud
the railroad ticket to ST. Louis. OF
course, Belts was up stump. He
couldn't go to st. Louis without
his trousers, nor without his railroad
ticket. SO without more ado he
paid his landlady's claim. In this way
it was learned that he had gone to st.
Louis, and early Monday morning peo-
pie from the boarding house reported to
w. K. Morrison q Co. what they knew.
1t is further said that Belts had very

jewelry now claimed to be stolen, and
that the young lady is disconsolate over

He Outlines Some New and Inter-

ton.
The Minneapolis exposition this year
will open Aug. 26 and close Sept. &C..
The board of directors unanimously de-
cided upon that point yesterday. Some
of the directors had previously been in
favor of making the dates one week
earlier, but the minority gracefully
bowed to the wishes of the majority.
General Manager Bracket asked for
two weeks leave, during which he will
visit Milwaukee, Chicago, Washington
and other Eastern cities to secure at
fractions. and his request was granted.
He gave briefly an outline of his ideas,
which showed that he has already
mapped out in his mind some
features and improvements that are de-
cidedly pertinent. In a general way
his suggestion is that a strong effort be
made TO obtain novel and interesting
exhibits of manufacturing machinery III
operation, for the first and second floors,
and that the third floor be devoted to
stationary exhibits. He recommended,
too, that more expense and attention be
given not alone to the arrangement or
exhibits, but to the decoration and Or
namentation Of the building as we'll.
He asked leave to secure, at once
possible, a live fish exhibit from the
government, which was given him.
This exhibit has proved very attractive
at the Cincinnati, Detroit and st. Louis
exp0sitions. There is a new fiber machine
recently invented at Chicago which he
also proposes to secure. He will also
negotiate for the out-of-dOor spectacle
of the ''Siege of Vera Cruz" which is
said to greatly excel the Last Days of
POmpeii," as it permits of military dis
plays in which the local militia can be
used. The matter of music was brought
up, but nothing definite was decided
upon. A halt-dOZen propositions from
Eastern bands of more or less proml-
hence and musical standing have been
received. The directors seem to be i'll
favor of giving the Danz military band
the contract this year as an encourage
ment to a home organization for one
reason, and because it has been demOn-
strated that it can furnish as good and
better music than the bands that have
heretofore played at the several EXPOSE
tons. If this is done Prof. DAM pro-
poses TO engage several celebrated SOLO
lists, and some new effects will be intro
duced which will make the music a
more prominent and popular feature of
the exposition than heretofore.

WANTS A RECEIVER.
Arthur j. Elliott Asks to Have
One APPOINTED.

Shaw & Elliott, the lumber dealers.
have entered into a dispute which was
filed yesterday in the district court.
Arthur j. Elliott is the plaintiff in the
action, and he claims that Shaw is try
ing to force him out in deal by sort
of conspiracy. The firm purchased a
plant on the East side some time ago
from Fletcher Bros, and subsequently
put in about $4,000 in improvements.
They did not meet their payments as
per contract, but the sellers did not
crowd them on account of the
amount they had invested. Mr..
Elliott claims that Shaw made
sale of the firms interest
to A. E. Horn, who is made one of the
defendants, and induced Fletcher Bros.
to give up warranty deed to the prop
erty which Elliott claims is worth about
$4,000, and his share $4,000, to which
extent he is damaged. He asks that
Horn be commanded TO simply hold the
property in trust until the firm is legally
dissolved. and a receiver appointed to
settle up the affairs of the firm.
To complicate matters bit. the Sc
curity bankshas begun suit against the
firm to realize on promlssory note of
81, 800, which it holds. This action was
filed just few moments after the
Elliott complaint.
