Korteaard and Firemen.

City Treasurer Kortgaard desires that
slight correction be made in the ac-
count of the manner in which he has
been beaten by employees of the city of
Minneapolis through their drawing
money before pay day on their personal
notes and then failing to pay the notes.
He says that the members of the fire de-
partment have had nothing to do with
his losses. He has always found the
fremen to be honest fellows who nav
their debts. He has not lost any money
through their failure to pay when prom
Using to do SO. He adds that his losses
have not been so great as TO affect him
to any extent. He has just lost enough
to make him feel sore and sorry that
such men can be found in the employ
of the city as those who have broken
faith with him.

Grain Men EroIic

The chamber of commerce men had
their annual frollc yesterday. The old
timers tried to do q little business dur
! ing the first hour of the session, but
they soon gave it up. At 1890 the fun
began, and reigned for an hour or so,
until every man looked as If he had
been born, raised and buried
In a flour mill. Wheat was
strewn all over the floor of the
chamber. Secretary Sturtevant had the
good sense to bar his doors early i'm the
morning, SO he escaped. Enough cloth
ing was spoiled to insure the Minneapo-
lis tallorS good business for several
weeks. The trolic ended with several
lmprOmptu boxing matches. Boys and
brokers alike were forced into the ring,
and compelled to take little exercise

Il explain the personal check matter in
this way: | happened TO have some remit
tapces to make to Eastern parties, and in
stead of going TO the bank and getting drafts
l thought.I would save time and trouble by
taking some drafts from the drawer, remit
ting them TO the East and replacing them
with my own personal checks. My checks
were just as good as the drafts l sent away.

they made the examination, amounting TO
over 5000, must be regarded as shortage.
because the law does not permit county
treasurer 10 accept checks in payment OF
taxes. Now as far as that law is concerned
II has not been followed by any treasurer
this county ever had. They have all received
cheeks and carried them in their cash draw
ers the same as l have. 1t has been STAGED
that have not deposited the county funds as
the law provides SHALL The law says that
the banks bond must be double the
amount to be deposited in it. l understand
that am accused of depositing more thaTt1s
permitted by the bonds in some of the banks.
Now, If this is true. it is a matter for my
bondsmen, and no one else 10 object to. The
law on this point was passed for the protec
ton of bondsmen. and so long as my bonds-
men know what am doing and are satisfied,
don't see why any one else should kick.
In connection with this matter of re-
celvlng checks 1t would be interesting
to watch a rigid enforcement OF the
law. Many men in Minneapolis pay
several thousand dollars in taxes every
year. Unless their checks be received,
these men will be forced to charter a
freight train, and secure a regiment
from the regular army as a guard to
transport their currency to the county
treasury. IS.

They had been telling stories of inef-
fectual attempts to drown cats, pussy
in every case turning up on the kitchen
hearth. purring serenely as though
nothing had happened Finally quiet
looking stranger, who had been silent
up to the moment, suddenly broke out
with
''That reminds me, gentlemen, of the

Instantly every face was turned to-
ward the Quiet-loOklng man. He went
on:
That cat was the biggest nuisance /
ever saw. And steal? Great Caesar!
He was the worst thief that ever walked

TO drown him. But it was no use. Bag

quiet-looking man seemed surprised at
this. ''Oh, no. gentlemen" he said,
''you forget that freight train and the
big junk of iron and the bubbles. No, 1
never saw that cat again." The quiet
looking man had not been loud or boast
full in telling his story, says the Boston
Transcript, but when he had finished
every man present looked as though he
had received personal injury, and
there was no more conversation.

Sir Edwin on the Reporter.

Harper's Weekly.
Sir Edwin Arnold says that the aver
age editorial "leader'' of an English
newspaper is the product of three hours
of diligent work by an accomplished
man-such as Andrew Lang, for in
stance. He himself once wrote one of
1000 words with a lead pencil in an
hour-a rate of speed which seems pro-
digious, and which crack American
reporter writing against time could hard
ly excel; but man who has written
5000 leaders, as the author of the
Light of Asia' has done, must neces-
sarily have become expert at it, Sir
Edwin thinks that the reporter should
be rated on level with the editor. and
that personally he would as soon report
fire as interview Lord Salisbury or
Mr.. Gladstone on some great question
of political policy. Why not? 1t is not
difficult to ask questions and remember
the answers, but it takes genius to dis
cover the name of the occupant of a
third floor back when the occupant and
the third floor are burning briskly in
the cellar.

The finding of tt unk full of dresses

nOrt on Treasurer Paterson

The report of the county board of
audit upon the condition of the funds in
the hands of County Treasurer Peter
son was submitted to the board of
county commissioners at their meeting
yesterday morning. The board re-

pecial action upon it; the commission
ers being of the opinion that Mr.. Peter
son was innocent of Intentional wrong
doing, although he had failed to con-
form to the technical points of the law.
They did not think that the county
treasurer substituted his personal
checks for county funds with any in
tention of defrauding the county in any
way. The report is as follows:
