AN EASY JOB.
The Discharged Firemen Hefute
the Charges Against Them.


the Charges Against Them.
The committee having in charge the
investigation of the fire department
held another meeting last night in the
city hall. The work Of the committee is
nearly over, and the report will soon be
completed and probably turned into the
council at the next meeting. Last night
the committee summed up the evidence
scared during the past two months and
gave the discharged firemen an oppor-
tunity to refute the charges preferred
against them by Chief Runge. These
. charges were not hard to refute, for they
were very mild. The charge against Nc
Eiroy was for committing some trivial
otfense two years ago, and that against
Corey was absurd, so committeeman
said. The offense he was charged with
having been guilty Of occurred six years
ago, long years before Runge was chief
OF the fire department. None of the
firemen had any difficulty in convincing
the committee that he was not guilty
OF anything serious.
Among the witnesses called were Capt.
Hamilton, of Hose No. IL; Capt Treger,
of Hook and Ladder No. q; Lieut.. Smith,
of Engine Company No.la@d Sergeant
John Leonard, of the police force. The.
latter was called in to testify to certain
thefts that had occurred during the
burning of Broderick'S candy store, next
to the Brunswick hotel about year and
half ago. Cigars were stolen from the
candy store and hams and meats from
the butcher shop, adjoining. Certain
fireman had stolen the stuff, and it was
supposed that the police sergeant knew
their names. He informed the\ COM
mittee that he had seen nothing that
could be used as direct testimony. Ex-
PatrOlman Schroeder is the party who
saw good deal of the thieying, and he
was before the committee several nights
ago.

Wolsfeld, the committee on resolutions,
reported a resolution in favor OF abol-
iShing road OveTseers, but maintaining
the poll tax and compelling the working
ont of the tax if not otherwise paid. The
resolution also favored the maintenance
of roads by contract work, and was
adopted.
ChOate made strong effort to have a
resolution adopted favOring the appoint
ment or highway commission by the
governor, to report at the ueXt session,
and he was warmly supported by the
committee on resolutions. President
Chowen also favored it. Vice President
Lvdiard took up the cause of those who
opposed the appointment of the commits
sion, and finally prevented the adop-
ton of the resolution by vote of 10 to
number of members not voting. The
friends of the resolution did not accept
their defeat very gracefully, and lnd-
Gated that they will be heard from again
Oh the subject.
This is the scheme which, as pointed
out by the GLOBE last week, is alleged
to be in the interest of giving a job to
eX-COunty Commissioner Chowen. The
meeting adjourned subject to the call of
the executive hoard.

"LOST FOREVER"
IL. .. Horn Says lie Is and The
DisappearS

IL. .. Horn Says lie Is and Then
Disappears.
Mrs. II. o. Horn, OF 1912 Riverside
avenue. called at police headquarters
yesterday and stated that her husband
had mysteriOusly disappeared. He had
deserted her, at least so she supposed
from the letter he left behind, though
there was one clause in the epistle which
led her to think that possibly he had
committed suicide. She married him
three weeks ago. When she met him
she was widow. with two children, and
happy enough, considering the loneli-
ness of her life. Horn was plausible,
and he painted such,a pretty picture of
domestic happiness with the widow as
his wife that she married him. Satur-
day he left the house. and after his de-
parture his wife found letter con-
cealed under the mattress of the bed.
The letter stated that he had decided
to go away and leave her to her chill
dren. The letter began with, at is
with tears in my eyes that l write these
lines" and ended up with. 81 am lost
forever" The latter sentence. Mrs.
Horn thinks, may signify that he in
tended TO make away with himself.

the Pillsbury Prize.
The result of the declamatory contest
at the state university Monday night
was announced yesterday morning. The
following are the successful contestants,
according to rank: Phillips, Simonton,
Taylor, Miss Graves, Jackson. Miss
Frankenfeld. Miss Sinshheimer, Smith,
McNair and Pattee. The result of this
contest, combined with the respective
ranks in thought and composition, en-
titles the following ten students to COM
pete during commencement week for
the PillSbury prize: jackson, Taylor,
Phillips, Miss Sinshheimer, Slmonton,
Pattee, Miss Graves, Smith and Helli-
well. The judges on delivery were Mrs.
Stacey, 'SS; 2. Kennedy, go, and Prof.

1t is rumored that deliberate at
tempt was made by one of the above
named judges to throw out of the final
contest two of the successful contest
antS-W. A. Smith and \. l.. Helliwell
regardless of their merits. The judge
in question, it IS said, had a grudge
against their fraternity, and took this
occasion to pay back an old score. Mr..
Smith was given fifteenth place by this
judge and Mr.. Helliwell sixteenth, the
lowest places they could receive. By
the other judges Mr.. Smith was given
first place by one and second place by
the other. clearly showing the unfair
ness of the other rank. MIR. Smith rep
reSents the university in the intercoe-
giate contest this year, and is uDdoubt-
edly the best orator at the university.

The Filthy Streets.

Business men were kicking yesterday
over the terribly condition of the
streets. Ever since the warm weather
was ushered in it has been next to i'm
possible to navigate on either Nicollet.
Washington or Hennepin avenue espe-
cially the former. Washington avenue
is also in filthy condition, aud yester-
day crowd of people stood in front of
the Nicollet house and wondered why it
WAS that the proprietor did not get out
and howl. There were several huge piles
of filth and mud almost directly in front
of the entrance. Health Commissioner
Kelly said that it was time the streets
were cleaned up. The health of the
community demanded it, and it was the
street commissioners business to see
that everything was in ship shape.
Last night, for the first time. the street
gang commenced operations on Nicollet
avenue.

city yesterday morning in their private
car. The concert at the Lyceum the
alter last night was the musical event of
the season. The theater was crowded
and the various college fraternities
were present, bedecked with re-
gala. The old Cornell graduates
of the city were present i'll force. The
concert was splendid one. At its con-
clusion the college men were rendered a
banquet at the Minneapolis club by the
Cornell alumni who live in the city.
Yesterday afternoon the Cornell men
were rendered reception at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Theodore Wet
more, 20 Oak Grove street. About 200

DIR. QUINBY's CAT.
The Story OF a Tabby and Her
Cruel Death.

CPuel DeaCn.
Dr.. o. Il. Quinby, whose residence is
at 2732 NicOllet avenue, had cat. Poor
Pussy is dead, and thereby hangs a
tale. Cruel boys and dog killed the
cat. The boys were Fred Cady, Paul
FiIbert and William Jenswold. Several
nights ago these three boys, accom-
panied by big dog, went in search of
cats. The dog hated cats, and the boys
believed that anything the dog did was
all right. On the night in question DR..
Quinby'S Tabby sat upon the back yard
fence and Serenaded cat whose resi-
dence was across the alley. Tabby was
happy, and each note that came from
her musical throat told story of love.
The dog saw the cat, and so did the
boys. 1t is alleged that the latter de-
liberately put up job to get Tabbv off
the fence. At any rate, Tabby ventured
down and the big dog grabbed her. He
bit her and ne claWed her until she lay
upon the ground nearly dead. Then, it
is alleged, the cruel boys Struch Tabby
on the head with club and stamped
upon-her until she died.
The boys were arrested, and yeSter-
day afternoon they were arraigned i'll
the police court. They were charged
with the heinOuS crime of killing a eat,
and the city prosecutor stood aghast at
the task before him. He had never be-
fore come across such case. and the
judge did not remember one within the
whole range of Jurisprudence. They
consulted together, and finally came to
the conclusion that the case would have
to be Investigated. 1t was accordingly
postponed until next Friday, and the
boys released OH bail.
The boys claim that the dog hurt the
cat badly, and they killed it in order
that it might be put out of all earthly
misery. There appears to be consider
able doubt as to whether a cat is per-
sonal property. AT common law it was
not regarded as felony to steal cat,
though it was considered a crime to kill
or injure one. A dog is made personal
property by the statutes, but the poor
cat is not mentioned at all.

The case will be pushed for all there

Two Remarkable Epitaphs.

The two most remarkable epitaphs
in the United States are those of
Daniel Barrow, formerly OF Sacra-
mento, CAL, and that of Hank Monk,
Horace Greeley's stage driver. The
former reads as follows: Here is
laid Daniel Barrow, who was born in
sorrow and borrowed little from ma
ture except his name and his love to
mankind and his hatred of redskins !,
who was nevertheless gentleman
and dead shot, who through long
life never killed his man except in
selfdefense or by accident, and who,
when at the last went under beneath
the bullets of his cowardly enemies
in jeff Morris saloon, did SO in the
certain hope of glorious and ever
lasting morrow" Hank Monks epi-
taph reads thus: Sacred to the
memory of Hank Monk, the whitest,
biggest-hearted and best known stage
driver of the West, who was kind to
all and thought i'll of none. He lived
in strange era and was hero, and

How 1t Became Popular.

When people find an article much
superior to anything of the kind they
have ever before used, they are al
most sure to tell their friends about
it, especially il they know of some
friends needing such an article.
Dealers also soon learn the true value
of their goods, and when they have
on article of unusual merit they will
almost invariably mention the fact to
their customers. This accounts in a
great measure for the large sale on
