Nearly All Have Been Provided
FOr-Alger Will Be on Hand.
The convention accommodations COM
mittee has its work we'll in hand. 1t
has already provided quarters for the
most important state delegations that
will come to the convention. The West
hotel gets good many of the delega-
tiOnS. Two of them will be quartered
on the Office floor. The two gentlemen's
reading rooms on the ground floor will
be reserved as headquarters for the
Massachusetts and Ohio delegations.
The main parlorS on the first floor have
been reserved for the New York and In
delegation will have the HennepIn av-
enue parlor, while the Indiana delega-
ton has been assigned to the Fifth
street half of the huge room, which is
divided by sliding doors. Other states
which will have their headquarters at
the West are New Hampshire, Rhode
Island. Arkansas, Connecticut, Iowa.
North Dakota and Wisconsin. The
Pennsylvania delegation has been
assigned the main parlOr at the NicoIlet.
South Dakota will occupy Parlor A as a
consultation room, while Illinois will
occupy three rooms on the parlor floor.
AHe othcI state ueleSdtlOliS WHICH nave
been assigned to the Nicollet are Kan
sas, Nebraska, New Jersey and Yer
mont. Several assignments have been
made for the Holmes, but they have not
yet been approved by the parties inter-
ested.
An indication of what may come
before the convention is found in the
fact that Gen. Russell 4. Alger, of
Michigan, has already secured quarters
at the West. He has taken a room on
the ground floor, and will occupy it.
This makes it look as if the Michigander
would be here to make fight for the
nomination and to conduct his own cam
paign. The Michigan delegation will
have a parlor on the same floor with
him.

ALIENS PLANS ACCEPTED.
The South Side High School will
Be Handsome.

The board of education held a special
meeting to consider the various plans
for the proposed South side high school
which have been submitted, and de-
cided to adopt those of F. S. Allen. of
Joliet, Ill. It's contrary to the previous
custom of the board to 20 out
side of Minneapolis for work
of this kind. Mr.. Aliens plans
pleased the board so much better
than any of the others that it was de-
cided to accept them. These plans pro-
vide for building of twenty-five rooms,
with very large halls. and a large as
sembly room, or auditorium. The sketch
of the building as it will look when
completed represents handsome build
ing, of dark red Menomonee brick, fin
lshed with brown sandstone. The ONLY
great objection with this plan is the fact
that the system of ventilation is not
such as is thought to be the best by
some.
The cost of the building as estimated
by Mr.. Allen is about 100000.

MINNEAPOLIS.
REPUBLICAN, TRUTH TELLING.

Everything is fish that comes to the
net of Republican paper at this time
that can be made. in any way, to reflect
upon the administration. These papers
do not hesitate to falsify and to distort
facts if only something can be made to
look as if the mayor is not enforcing the
laws. n particularly fragrant case of
this sort has jGSt been before the pIollc.
1t happened that last Monday MORN
ing there were seventeen DRINKS in the
municipal court. There were two dis
orderlies. The news was heralded to
the four corners of the earth that the
first Sunday under the amended liquor
license had been productive of nineteen
DRINKS. That record was cOntraSted
with the record of Monday when the
number of records had fallen to
four. This stupendous piece of in
formation was printed in the evening
papers under glaring headlines. The
morning papers did the same thing.
Then the morning paper that represents
the pure and holy element of the city of
Minneapolis. although few of that class
support it. determined TO go the evening
papers one better. Yesterday morning
the truthful Tribune took up this ar
fragment of nineteen DRINKS and dis
of full column.
Now, what are the facts in connection
with this most important matter?
1t is 4 notorious fact that more men
get drunk Saturday and Sunday than
on any other day of the week. That
fact was overlooked by these overZeal
OuS Republican papers. Ii is also fact
and the same fact was overlooked
that none of the arrests made Saturday
night appear IN the municipal court
until Monday morning. The Monday
tab in court represents the work of the
police on two days, and these two the
busiest days of the week for the police.
Yesterday a GLOBE man took the
trouble TO find out just how many of
those men who appeared in the mu-
nicipal court Monday morning were ar
rested on Sunday. And how many do
you suppose there were?
Just two-b0th arrested by officers at
tached to the central police station.
There is nothing 10 show that those two
men did hot get drunk in st. Paul, or
on whisky purchased Saturday night.
All the other DRINKS over which the
Republican papers have been going
into spasmS were arrested Saturday
night. Six of them we're brought in by
central precinct men. three by North
Minneapolis officers and six by South
Minneapolis officers.
Ananias would have scorned to asso-
ciate with such clumsy falsifiers as
these men who cook political potions
for the Republicans of Minneapolis.

THE POLICEMEN RECREATE.
Their Ball at the West an Unquali-
fed Success.

fled Success.
The Police Relief association ball at
the West hotel last evening wigs GER
tainlY grand success from q financial
point of view, and one glance at the
faces of those in attendance was suf-
ficient TO show that as an enjoyable
event it was by no means failure.
The crowd during the early part of
the evening was immense: and the large
dining room, which was reserved for
the dancing, was crowded to suffoca-
ton, while the parlors and halls were
also filled with those who did not care
to dance or were unable 10 get into the
room.
Dancing commenced at O'Clock, and
at 1880 supper was served in the ordi-
nary, after which the dancing was
resumed. BY this time the crowd had
thinned out 10 such an extent that the
ball room became more comfortable,
and those who remained were able to
dance.
Mayor Winston and Superintendent
Henderson were present, and during
the evening made brief addresses. A
male Quartette also entertained the
company with several songs.
The directors of the association, to
whom much of the success of the bill is
due, are Capt. d. A. Day, Capt. NJ.
Buerfening, Capt: w. w. Bosworth,
Lieut.. Thomas Coskran. Lieut.. Swan
Walton, Sergeant William Amour,
Sergeant John Kennedy, Officer John
Kerr. Officer Henry GetchelI, Officer
