| observation Of a stranger. No descrip-
ton of comment of st. Paul was sent
abroad for public or private use that
| did not refer, in terms of highest praise,
to the wonderfully clean and well-kept
| streets of the city. But how the city has
| fallen from grace! Its principal
thoroughfares are now in a condition
of lndescribable dirt and filth, and
mire that would be a disgrace to any
second-class community In Minnesota.
The condition is IN such striking con-
trast with what the city has been and
with what the people have right to ex-
pect that it is all the more conspicuous.
Winter has gone and the snow has
completely disappeared from the streets,
alleys and back lots. All the dirt,
rubbish and garbage that has accumu-
lated through the winter and been hid
den under the snow, is now exposed to
view and lies reeking mass and
stencil in the nostrils of the community.
Swept into the cutters of the principal
streets, is the whole winters collection
of scraps of paper, dirt and horse-offal.
In the open blocks are heaps of rotting
manure and piles of miscellaneous rub
Dish. Alleys and back lots are filed
with garbage and kitchen refuse until
they are uncomfortable.
The Offense to the eye is the least
dsagreeabIe feature. In few days
the spring sun will have attained the
fervOr common to the season, and Will
beam down on all this mass of germ
breeding matter, sending down upon
the city enough baccilli and microbes
to produce an epidemic. If the city
this spring escapes a serious invasion
of epidemic disease. it will be only by
an Intervention of Providence.
This is no oyerdraWn picture. 1t is q
plain, unglossed statement of the actual
condition of the streets of st. Paul.
Who is to blame?
If it is the mayor, or the engineer, or
the board of public works upon whom
the responsibility rests, the full force OF
public condemnation should fall upon
the responsible head. The streets
should be cleaned-and thoroughly
without the delay of day and at what
ever COST. The expense would be tIifling
compared to the health of an entire city;
to say nothing of the comfort OF the
poDulace, and the effect upon every
stranger within our gates The stigma
of the present disgraceful condition
should be blotted out, and that without
days delay.
There are hundreds of labOrers in the
city out of employment who would be
only too glad to obtain work on the
streets at current wages. Thousands of
dollars are tied up in the city treasury
that could not be better employed than
in paying men for street cleaning.
When the building season fully opens
up general work will be somewhat more
plentiful, and the time when this tenn
porary labor will be most acceptable is
right now. Thousands Of dollars that
will 20 to charity in the next few weeks
would be saved if all the unemployed
men in the city were put to work re-
moving the filth which now blots every
thoroughfare and endangers the health
of every man, woman and child in the
city limits.

replied by telegram and by letter and
told how the manager of the house had
swindled them in a poker game. Then
the manager was called up, and he was
persuaded in short order to return the

in paying over the money, and immedi-
ately another hotel man was engaged to
manage the house, the sharper being
informed that his services were no long

The Game Went On.
But the manager or eX-manager did

He and his confederates came on to
New York and engaged rooms at the
Hotel Dam. Here they registered I'M

In some manner Albert Weber, the
piano man at Sixteenth street and Fifth
avenue, was inveigled into game of
poker. Mr.. Weber had met the man
ager in Chicago, and he believed him 10
be gentleman. The piano man lost
several hundred dollars i'll cash, and
when he left the game his ''old Chicago

check was on Mr.. Webber's bank. and

Byrnes Takes a Hand.
The swindlers, although they had
been almost openly accused Of cheating.
did not discontinue operations. The
manager evidently intended to find all
the wealthy victims he could before his
reputation became badly tainted. He
travelled on his extensive acquaintance
ship and many more victims were found
in New York.
Finally Inspector Byrnes was called
upon by some of the people who had
been sWindled, and the trio. becoming
aware of it. left for Philadelphia, and
while there at the Lafayette hotel
found many victims. But there the po-
lice also learned of their crookedness
and compelled them to move. They
made their way back to Chicago, where
they are believed to be at the present
time. Some correspondence has passed
between Inspector Byrnes and Chief
McClaughry, of the Chicago police force,
it is said, and the Worlds Fair City po-
lice chief is looking out for an oppor-
tunity to get the three card sharpers be-
hind the bars. In the meantime, how
ever, the three swIndlers continue TO
find easy victims.

the heaviest loser at the hands of the
rascals was Don Luis Huller, the
wealthy Mexican who died suddenly in
Texas recently. In four nights play he
lost Sl23,000, and a compromise was
made for $4,000, which amount was
paid to the hotel manager.

YOUTHFUL MAYOR.
The Youngsters Garry the Day at
Kansas City.


KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April ga full
set of city officers was elected here to-
day. The campaign was one of the hot
test ever conducted in the city. Politics
cut but little figure. The fight
was between the young and the
old '.crowds." w. S. Cowherd, candi-
date Tor mayor on the Democratic
ticket. had the support of the young
men of the city and was elected by a
good majority over j. j. Davenport, Re
publican, who held the Office of mayor
the term previous to the present one. Mr..
Cowherd's majority at midnight appears
to be something over thousand.
Indications point to the success of the
remainder of the Democratic city ticket,
excepting the candidates for the coun-
Gil. The council will probably be
mixed, as usual. Mr.. Cowherd, the
successful candidate for mayor, is only
thirty-two years age. and is the young
est man ever elected to that office in
this city.

Dem ocratic candidates for city offices
are elected by similar majorities. The
count on councilmen is Incomplete, but
the indications now are that the entire
council will be Democratic.

CHICAGO. April 5.-The aldermanic

here today, though the vote was the
heaviest cast i'll a municipal cleo
ton. At midnight the returns
are nearly all in, showing that
the council has changed to Republican

dates were also elected. A number of
aldermen whose names we're conspicu-
OuSly connected with the charges of
boodleism recently investigated by the
grand jury were retired. Cullerton, who
has been the leader of the council for
twenty years. was defeated by Rhode,

towns went Democratic, while the Re
publicans retain control of the West
town offices. Cullerton was candi-

THREE FINAL DECISIONS.

PIERRE, S. D., April 5.-The supreme
court today rendered the important de-
cision that private parties can do a
banking business without first incor-
porating by complying with the regula-
tions of the law.
The court sustained the prohibition
law as a whole, this being a great
victory for this much-abused law, and
this decision will have Il great effect in
its enforcement.
The decision in the test case of the
Pierre fire department is against the
state auditor, requiring him to issue
warrants to each department in the
state for the per cent of the insurance
money received by the state. This

CRooKsToN, Mimi, April 5.-The
city election was held here today. 1t
was the first election under the Aus
tralian law. The contest was between
a Citizens ticket, made up of Democrats
ana Republicans, and a straight Peo-
pies party ticket. The full Citizens
ticket was elected. William Anglim,
Democrat, was the candidate for mayor
on the Citizens ticket and re-
ceived 293 majority out of 75S
votes cast. e. c. Carruth was elect
ed clerk; Capt. Couyerette, treasurer;
A. X. Austin, alderman at large; Fred
Anderson. j. E. Morrisy. William Walk
er. Frank jerome and E. d. Childs,
all by large majorities. The most sig
nlficant feature of the election was the
material falling off in the Peoples
party vote over two years ago, notwith-
standing the fact that such Alliance
leaders as A. r. Holston and Hon. Hal
vor STEVENSON put forth every effort
for the Peoples party ticket. Mr..
Anglim. the newly elected mayor. is Il
leading merchant, and the enthusiastic
support he received is very flattering.
