FERRETING AROUND.
The Wheat Investigation Develops
No Startling Points.


II. P. Bjorge was called TO the stand
first when the wheat investigation re-
opened yesterday. He recalled a speech
he made in the legislature last winter
regarding the alleged shortages, in
which he had said that the matter
should be thoroughly investigated.
Cross-eXamined by Mr.. Severance, it
was discovered that at the time Bjorge
made his speech none of the wheat on
which he claimed a shortage in 1889 had
been received at the Duluth elevator at
all, but had been sent by Mr.. Hartman,
who acted as commission man for
Bjorge, to the Superior elevators. Mr..
Bjorge believed that his scales were
correct, notwithstanding the fact that
there had been shortages at the Fergus
Falls and Minneapolis mills as well as
at Duluth. No expert had ever exam
ined his scales. neither had they been
tested by the SeaIer of weights and
measures. nor did Mr.. Bjorge profess to
be scale expert.
W. d. Bangs, agent for the Minnesota
& Dakota Elevator company at Hen
drum, next sworn, had been engaged in
buying wheat for the company for three
years. The first year $4,000 bushels
were handled, and there was neither an
overage or shortage. The second year
$4,000 bushels were handled, and there
was about 100 bushels shortage. Most
of the wheat was sent to Minneapolis
the first year, and to Duluth and Su-
perior the second year. There are two
other companies buying grain at Hen
drum, and an understanding exists be-
tween the local buyers in regard to
handling and buying grain, but
the grades are made under
the state inspection department.
Hancock and Moffet are the
other two buyers, and witness and Han
cock get their prices to pay for wheat
direct from their companies, while
Moffet depended largely on the other
two buyers TO get his prieSS. The
agreement between the local buyers
contemplated that each elevator should
handle a fair proportion of all the wheat
bought, but MIR. Bangs could not ex-
plain satisfactorily why he bought
70. 600 and Hancock only bought $1,000
bushels last year. Witness diselaimed
knowledge of combination among buy
ers, stating that he had always eneoun-
tered a reasonable amount of competi-
ton. He had received no notice from
Duluth of any shortage during the last
year.
IL. F. Moffett, of Hendrum. was the
next witness. He did some buying for
Mr.. Canning. They were partners in
an elevator. He got his prices in differ
ent ways, sometimes from the telegraph
operator. He admitted being in an
agreement with other buyers not to buy
all the wheat in any one place, but he
did not understand that the agreement
related to prices. He had no agreement
TO share profits. He shut Mr.. Can
ning's elevator down once. bnt the pur-
pose was to thresh out setting of
wheat for Mr. Canning's relatives. He
only received 800 from Mr.. Canning

ARMoRY FOR TRE MILITIA.
Proposition to Utilize the Market
House.

The assembly committee ON public
buildings met last evening. Assembly
men Banholzer, McNamee and Van
Slyke. who compose the committee. re-
quested President Murray and Assem-
blyman Oppenheim and the city attorney
to be present and hear the statements
of Col. Bend, of the First regiment,
upon the provision of an armory for the
national guard. Col. Bend explained
that the last legislature passed a law
authorizing the city government to
maintain an armory; and the committee
appointed to look into the matter, of
which the mayor was chairman, had
reported to the council that they advised
the renting of the present armOry,
Mr.. Murray stated that, in his opinion,
there was no money available under the
law until after the tax levy was made,
and wished to know why the market
house could not be used as an armory,
thus saving the city the expense of rent
ing. The colonel, IN reply, said the
market house was not suitable. The
lower floor could not be used, as it was
full of pillars, and it would not be safe
to drill on the upper floor. Years ago
the militia had drilled there, aud the
city engineer reported that 1t was not
safe to do so.
Mr.. Van Slyke said that the city
would put the market in good condition
if they decided to use it as an
armory, and mentioned it would cost
about S1J,0o0 to put in company quar-
ters, racks, ETC., and strengthen the
floor. Mr.. BanholZer remarked the
committee had examined the market
that day, and thought that if the lower
floor could be used for the new police
headquarters the upper floor might be
used as an armory.
Col Bend-But the artillery drill in the
present armOry. How can they get their can
mons up there?
Mr. Murray-Hoist them up on derrick.
1t was decided that. as the city had to
provide an armOry somewhere, the
matter should be referred to the city at
torney for his opinion as to whether
any money was available.

AFTER A BIG FLOURISH
The Wage-Earners' Association
Likely to Break Up.

Some months ago number of work
ingmen, whose salaries were not at all
princely, determined to secure homes
for themselves. TO accomplish this sue
cessfully they formed an organization
called the Wage-EarnerS' Home aSSocia-
ton, and after the preliminary matters
had been arranged they sought some
real estate men who had great deal of
land to sell in the suburbs, through
whom arrangements might be made by
which they could secure this property
on terms that would enable the work
ingmen to pay for their homes by
small inStallmentS.
The choice of the men fell upon a
beautiful plat of land surrounding Lake
Owasso. Here they had hoped to build
their small homes and rear their chill
dren in a place far removed from the
toll and hustle of the city. The prop
erty was bought. Every man belonging
to the association had the right to buy
a lot at Owasso upon the payment of s.
per month until the lot was paid for.
About 125 men entered into this plan,
which seemed to offer them an easy way
to get home. and the association ap
parently prOspered.
A GLOBE reporter was somewhat as
founded yesterday when he was ap-
preached by two who had gone into the
enterprise. and who were now sorry for
it. AS soon as one of them, Max Adler,
had chosen his lot he built pretty cot
tage upon it, and removed his family to
his new and pleasant home. But, alas,
lie found that as there was no transpOr-
tation between OWaSSo and st. Paul, he
would either have to give up his job or
remove to st. Paul again. He chose the
faEf fC oil e h.1tI fV,fr n
house may seem foolish, but 1t is not so
after one has heard his explanation.
When the property was bought, so he
said, st. Aubin & Dion had promised
to see that the Rice street electric line
was continued from its present ter
minus to OwaSSo, a distance of four
miles. The 125 men who had bought
lots there hustled about and obtained
the charterfor such road from the last
legislature. But, as they had not money
enough to build the eeXtensionthemselve
they beSought Mr.. Lowry to continue
his line to OwasSa. He declined to do
this on the ground that the property
owners along the line objected to it.
From the information of Mr.. Adler. it
seems that st. Aubln 81 Dion own a
posed route and did not fulfill their
promises as to the building of the line.
Hence the property is almost worthless,
and men are rapidly dropping from the
rolls of the association. Several who
had already contributed from $50 to $50
have dropped out. and when the
monthly payments are not made the
property reverts to st. Aubin & Dion.
Such was the story of the two un-
fortunates.
Mr.. Dion. of ST. Aubin S5 Dion, was
seen last evening, but he refused to say
anything about the subject. further
than that the firm had fulfilled its prom
ises and kept Its contract.

TO COMPLY WITH LAW.
Bids Must Be Advertised for the
Sale of CITY Certificates.

The committee appointed to negotiate
the sale of the certificates of indebted
ness for 1000, authorized by the
council, the proceeds to be applied to
D aging the floating Indebtedness of the
ehool board up to March "a last, and to
support the public schools, met yester-
day in the Office of Mayor Smith The
members of the committee present, be-
side the mayor, were the city comptrol-
Ter and Assemblyman Costello. The
mayor stated that he had received
number of offers for the certificates,
and asked if it was the pleasure of the
committee that they be read. The COM
mittee assented, and the mayor read
various offers from banks and financiers
for the certificates. One bank desired
to take S150,000, another bank $4,000,
while one firm made an offer to take
the whole amount. After a short dis
cusSion the committee decided that to
be strictly within the letter of the law,
the certificates should be disposed of
after advertising for bids in the official
paper of the city, and instructed the
comptroller TO take that step. Bids will
be received by the comptroller at his
Office up to half past in the afternoon
of June "a. when they will be opened by
the committee.

Eugene A. Bassett, alias j. 3. Atkins.

who know him too well. BaSsett has
mad a somewhat chequered career. He
has already served year in the peni-
Tertiary upon a conviction of forgery
committed at Anoka. One of his latest
ventures was to break out as an NJ. D.,
and attempting to sell a preparation
against the handling of which the Grim
inal laws are very stringent. He pro-
cured an office in a st. Paul building,
furnished it in modern style and cele-
brated his opening with banquet, to
which many were invited but few at
tended. He offered three months ad-
VertiSement to morning paper, but
was surprised when informed that
the class of advertisement offered
was not desired by the paper
He succeeded in inducing young man
named Weinbeck to advance him several
hundred dollars for an interest in his

returns. Inc SIdIe uleQlcdl DOarQ got
after him with sharp stick and told
him that if he did not suspend opera

four hours his arrest would not be de-
Iayed. The man with the aliases lost
no time in moving on, and it is pre-
sumed he is now in Chicago. One OF
the claims of the rather presumptious
would-be doctor was that he could re-
move cancers of long standing. Vein
beck and one or two other parties here
would be glad to have him repienish
their purses to certain extent when he
makes his pile, but have no particular
desire to renew his acquaintance under
any circumstances.
