before it was considered.
Mr.. Hall said he would not object to
the matter taking this course.
Mr.. Smith said it was proper to have
the report printed if it was to be consid-
cred as a substitute for the committees S
report. He believed with Judge Arm
strong that the city of Philadelphia was
Well-goyerned, and he knew that the
Chief Of Police was elected there. Not
withstanding this he was IN favor of hav-
ing Chief Of Police who should be ap-
pointed by the Mayor.
Or. simmons thought both reports
were so similar in many of their features
th2t the meeting could proceed to con-
slider both at once. He liked the original
report with the exception Of the section
defining how the Chief of Police should
be created. He favored the appointment
OF the Chief by the Mayor.
The roll was called on the motion of
Judge Armstrong to have the report of
Mr.: Hall printed, and the motion pre-
vailed.
MR.. DEVLIN RESIGNS.
The Secretary read communication
from President Devlin rendering his
resignation as member of the board, for
the reason that he would be absent from
the State some time. The resignation
was accepted.
The retirement of Mr.. Devlin caused a
vacancy in several of the subcommittee
Alr. johnson was added to the Commit
tee on Elections, Public Library, Art
gallery and Miscellaneous. Mir. White
was added to the Committee on Revenue
and Taxation, and MI. Johnson was
made a member of the Committee on
miscellaneous Matters. Mr.. Hall was
added to the Police and Fire Department
Committee.
Mr.. White addressed the meeting in re-
gard to the work already done and that
not done. lie called the attention of the
treeh0lders TO the fact that there was not
a great deal Of time left, and he urged the
subcommittee TO work diligently on
their reports. He moved that the Com
mlttees on Elections, Revenue and Tax
alton, Fire Department. Health, Judicial,
Finance and Official Bonds be requested
to prepare their reports and submit them
at al, the general meeting to be held next
Thursday evening.
The motion was carried unanimously
NIce-President Green was unanimously
elected President of the Board and Mr.
Nelnstock was elected Vice-President.
EQUALIZING VOTERS.
The meeting was about to adjourn when
MI. White suggested that the matter of
dividing the city into wards be cOnsid-
cred, and the board proceeded to act in
accordance with Mr.. Whites suggestion.
Mr.. Hall said that the wards had been
laid cut with a view to having as equal a
number of voters as possible in each
| ward. There were about 3,340 voters
north Of X street and 1850 south of X
street.
The Secretary was instructed to again
read the entire report, and it was adopted
| by unanimous vote
Secretary White limited to the board
that he was doing more work than he ex-
pected he would be REQUIRED to do and he
thought his salary of $50 had been fixed
too low.
On motion of Mr.. Smith the matter was
referred to the Committee on Ways and
Means.
The meeting then adjourned until next
Tuesday evening.

A Minister Drowned.

Prof. Hover went to Wood Lake We'd
nesday to officiate at the funeral cere->
monies over the remains of Rev. Scheitel.
The latter was drowned while crossing
the Yellow Medicine River with the in
tention of going to Granite Falls to per-
form wedding ceremony. 1t seems
he had been deceived by wagon tracks
leading to the rivers bank and ventured
into the water which was twelve feet
deep. His body was not found for sew
eral days. r. d..
The Marshall News Messenger gives
the following account of the drowning:
He had been called to marry couple in
a neighboring township, and left his
home in the afternoon in time to have
reached the river about four o'clock. As
he did not appear at the proposed we'd
ding Friday evening inquiry was made as
to the cause land when it was ascertained
that he had started for the wedding it
was surmised that some accident must
have befallen him, and search was insti-
tuted along the route. On Saturday af-
ternoon the unfortunate mans horse and
cart was found about half mile below
the ford which he had attempted to cross,
but up to Tuesday the body OF Mr.. Schei-
tel had not been found, and a quantity
of dynamite was secured and exploded
in the river, and the body was brought
to the surface about quarter OF mile
below the ford. The ford, which is near
j. Ceek's place, is an old one, and one
often used, but the heavy rains have so
swollen the stream as to make it impos-
sible to cross at that point. 1t was cold
and stormy when he left his home and he
was heavily dressed, having on large
fur coat and over that rubber coat.

How Fish Backed Down.

The Redwood Reveille in its account
of the Smith Fish debate in that village
says: The main kick Fish made was on
the price of corn in Nebraska. Fish re-
presented the farmers as getting but Sc
ven cents per bushel for their products,
while Mr.. Smith claimed so cents per
:bushel as the highest price paid. Fish
wanted to bet 81, 1000 that corn did not
sell for SO cents, and made the rank
statement that the article had not sold
for 25 cents in the last five years. Sat
urday morning j. L. Byram deposited
SO in the Redwood County Bank, and
then informed Fish that he wished him
to make his bet good, when the follow
ing conservation took place.
Fish.-What bet do you want to take?
Byram,-That corn has sold for over
IS cents btishel in the past five pears.
Fish.-I did not make that statement
TO DeG on.
Byram. you wish me to under
stand that you misrepresented the mat
ter?
Fish.-No, but 1 am not positive
enough to bet.
Byram.-I will bet you that corn sold
for SO cents per bushel in 1891.
FISH am betting on the crop Of
1891.
That is the way he squirms out when
cornered. He would bet that corn had
not been as high as so cents per bushel
from the first of last December up to this
date, but would not back his statements
that seven cents was the price paid, and
dared not even bet thatit had not reached
SO cents.

Advice to the Colonel.

The ST. Peter Herald says: Col. Bob
Letter, who sometime ago declined to run
again for treasurer has said that he would
now run if nominated. We are sorry to
see Col. .Bobleter reverse his decision of
some. time ago. His manly position then
inspired anew the faith that the peeple
had in him and while we weuliid as soon
see him treasurer as any republican in
the state, sooner in fact,we do not like
his present attitude. Six years is long
enough and fourth term is too much.
We, sincerely hope that the Colonel will
abandon his hold on the office and re-
turn to his country home at New Tim.
He can do that honorably.

gest1ons have been made In several In
stances that names like Birch Cooley
should be changed. Senator Davis ON
Monday addressed the following letter
to Assistant Postmaster General Rath-
bone, protesting against any change be-
ing made in the name of Birch Cooley.
and the reasons he gave will be endorsed
by everybody in Minnesota who was a
resident of the state at the time of the
Indian war. Senator Davis said:
Theename of the Birch Cooley posts
office should not be changed. There are
special reasons for this. In 1862 as one
of the opening acts of the Sioux massa-
ere in Minnesota there was a desperate
fight between Minnesota militia and the
Sioux Indians at that place. Some 400
or 500 Indians surrounded about $50
miitiamen, who resisted the savages for
some two days, as 1 remember, until re-
lief came. The horses of the militia
were shot down in the engagement, and
of their bodies the soldiers made ram
parts and fought behind them Twenty
three soldiers were killed and fortv-fye
were severely wounded. The whole af-
fair was one of the most conspicuous in
stances of bravery and endurance record
ed in the annals of our Indian wars.
The name Of the place therefore has be-
come endeared to the Minnesota peo-
pie. 1t is historic spot, and am very
sure if these facts had been known the
change would not have been contemplate
ed by the department. For these reas-
ons | have the honor to request most ur-
gently that the name Birch Cooley be
retained for that postoffice.

Mullen's View.

M. Mullen of New Ulm, delegate to the
Chicago national convention, was at the
Merchants last evening. He said there
is very little interest being taken in pol
itics in the Second district outside of the
national issues. He is Cleveland man
and expects to see the great tariff refor-
mer nominated in Chicago. The silver
question, he believes, will cause no lit
tie trouble in both the national conven-
tons, and particularly in the one to be
held next week in Minneapolis. He
does not think that the Democrats will
90 on record as favoring the free coinage
of silver, but he is in doubts as to what
the Republicans will do with that ques-
ton, which he calls purely sectional
one.
Mr.. Mullen tells a good story on
sDoc" Fish, the editor of the Great
West, who has recently been lecturing in
that section of the state. Fish has been
attacking the national banking system
in the most rabid manner. One of his
lectures was delivered at Sleepy Eye.
Mr.. Mullen has occasion frequently to visit
this town, and on recent visit was met by
one of his friends, who asked him for
information on this question. Mr.. Mul-
leh being familiar with the banking sys-
TEN, explained it in clear and concise
manner whereupon his friend exclaimed: !:
a"Why, Doc Fish told us that the natfon-
al banks got all their money from the
government at 2 per cent and that their
circulation cost them nothing Doc
Fish has been in the habit of inviting
debate on this question, and having a
scheduled lecture. at Redwood Falls. the
citizens Of that town prepared for him
and invited a Minneapolis editor to be
present and refute his insane arguments.
The programme was so successfully
carried out that the Great West editor
suffered an ignominous defeat-a defeat
which delighted all present. Pioneer
