With w. S. Streeter In jail and Men
age doing the grand in far-otf land, it
becomes question as to who will sue
coed these gentlemen as managers of
the Guaranty Loan building. which Is
temporarily in charge of the Mime
apollo Trust company. Through slight
oversight Menage went away without
bidding his friends goodbye, or leaving
his address or destination, all of which
in the light of subsequent events is very
unfortunate. In connection with the
management OF the building, report
was current yesterday to the effect that
Mr.. Wright, who was in the office of the
company with Streeter, would assume
charge of the building. The latter was
seen by GLOBE reporter. but he was
averse to talking on the subject.
although he would not object to asSum-
ing the responsibility if things came his
way.
1t is now certain that Menage contem-
plated flight long before he left the city,
aud that he made careful preparations
for his final departure. 1t is equally
certain that he saw that the storm was
about to burst in all its fury, and that if
surely engulf him. In prouf of this the
startling statement comes from prom
inent and well authenticated source that
short time before leaving he let drop
the remark to a contidant that if he did
not look out he would be landed in the
penitentiary.
In speaking of his flight, prominent
lawyer, and one who had occasion to
pass upon his paper and who instructed
him from the first, said yesterday that
the talk of jim Merritt, to the effect
that he had gone TO Chill, is all bun
cOmbe.
Il sized up Menage," said the gentle
man in question, land | regard him as
small-callber, narrow-gauge and shall
low adyenturer, but L think he is too
smart to let man like Merritt know
where he was going"
The same gentleman said that the
Chill story was gotten up to mislead
people as TO his real Whereabouts, and
there are strong indications that he is
not so far away. 1t is also intimated
that he has a trusted lieutenant in Min
neapolis who corresponds with him
regularly, and keeps him informed as
to events transporting here.
Meantime, the movement first inau-
guraIed by the GLOBE for his return is
III anu CdlIUOl
longer be resisted. Even the morning
contemporaries have at last awakened
to a realizing sense of their duty,
and for the first time an ed
itorial expression appeared yesterday.
demanding that he be brought back and
punished. In furtherance of this end
the GLOBE has it from first hands that a
plan is now on foot among the parties
interested to raise fund to defray the
expenses of his capture and return. AS
gentleman remarked yesterday, the
Eastern victims OF his rascality are anx-
iOusly awaiting the verdict of Mime
apoliS, and the sooner it Is given in
favor of probing the rottenness to the
bottom, and Furnishing the offenders to
the full limit OF the law, just so soon
will the city be indicated and once
more regain its supremacy in the iuan-
cial centerS of the land.

on Dan Williams.

Alice Downey, a saddle-colored dam
sci OF unsavory repdte, loaded up on
bad brand of juniper juice last night
and then sailed forth in quest of trou-
bic. During her rambles she dropped
into tee bachelors resort presided over
by Dan Williams, and located in the
alley between First and Second streets
and First and Second avenues south.
Williams was engaged in entertaining
company, and meantime he busted HIM
self with washing dishes. Upon enter
ing the house Alice jumped upon the
bed and yelled for something to
eat, whereupon Williams ordered
her from the place. She re-
fused to go, and when his
back was turned, she seized butch
er knife and plunged it Into his
back, inflicting painful but not nee
essarilY dangerous wound. AS he turned
she made slash at his head, the blade
cutting an ugly dash over the left ear
She was then disarmed. and an officer
was called and took her to the lock- up.
After the first attack Williams seized a
knife and struck her OH the head with
the handle, but she was not seriously
hurt. DR.. Weston was called and
dressed the wounds inflicted on Will
Jams. who will prosecute his assailant
OIL the charge of assault with a deadly

rest yesterday morning. The defend
ant took the place under lease. When
the Austins regained possession, they
had TO go to their lessee's attorney to

with their disappearance. When ar

after her apprehension, Nine. Lassaugue

The defendant was tricked into plac-.

favoraoly passed upon.
The cut in salaries proposed for city
officials came up from the hands of the
special committee. This committee re-
ported that in its opinion it would be
unwise. as the city of Minneapolis was
already paying lower salaries than
other cities OF equal size, to slash sal
aries. This report was received in a
spirit of unanimity that was refreshing.
and was readily accepted by vote, SO
that the old schedule will continue.
Minority and majority reports upon
the awarding of the contract for gaso-
line lighting OF the streets were put in.
Aid. Anderson favored awarding the
contract to the Northwest Globe Gas
light compony at s14 per light per an
mum. There are 1900 gasoline lamps
in the city. The minority report was
adopted.
The city comptroller here put in an
appearance, and explained the figures
mentioned In the ward street fund,
which were. he said, as correct as could
be made at present. In addition to the
above figures. the following should be
added as the amounts allowed to the

The sum of $1,000, which was ap-

BABY SHOW POSTPONED.
The Weather Throws a Temporal
nv Damper on the EXnosition.


The attendance at the exposition yes
terday was, of course, extremely light.
Owing to the bad weather the manage
ment decided to postpone the baby show
until next Monday. 1t was thought
that the infants would suffer by the
cold and damp, and that many mothers
who desired 10 participate would not
attempt to enter at all, so that for all
concerned it was best to have a post
ponement. The programme will be
carried out on Monday exactly as
planned for yesterday. and new entries
will be received up to l: 80 p. ID. on the
day of the show.
Today, as usual on Saturday, is sci
apart for the children. There will be
special attractions for the little folks
from morning till night, and above all,
as particular gift to the children, the
exposition management will give away
TO some boy or girl $50 bicycle. The
bicycle is donated by the Pierson
Hardware company and is one of the
standard machines carried in their
stock.
For the special amusement of the
children today, Prof. Norris will give a
performance with his wonderful
trained dogs at II o'clock.

DEFIED BY M'ALLISTER
To Prove That He Is Guilty of
Wrong-Doing

rOn8-DOlng.
An evening paper devoted half-col-
umn of its space yesterday to prove that
certain members of the council had not
been approached, or sought to approach
any one in come ction with the
McAllister anti-pool room ordinance.
The writer starts out by stating that an
agent had been deputed by the alder
men to ''see" the proprietors of the
Columbia pool room with the under
standing that for consideration the
ordinance was to be knocked out when
it came before the council, but that the
deal fell through for the reason that
the agent could not be trusted to
deliver the freight. The article winds
up by vindicating the aldermen of any
wrong doing i'll connection with the or
dinance. In speaking of the article,
Aid. McAlister said that he defed any

Estimates-A Long Session.
AT the council meeting last evening
Aid. McAllister introduced sensational
resolution upon gambling and assigna-
ton houses. 1t calls upon Mayor Eustis
to enforce the ordinance for the sup
preston of gambling of all kinds. 1t
also calls upon the city's chief
to close the houses of assigna-
ton and places of prostitution
which pretend to be candy stores
nd bath rooms when in reality they
are malsons de joie On small scale.
The resolution was adopted. The coun-
ell also went after the Twin City Rapid
Transit company with sharp stick,
directing the city attorney to find out
and report why the famous transfer
ordinance passed July IA was being ig-
nored by the company.
The city comptroller's estimate of the
amounts to be raised by the tax levy, as
presented by the committee of ways and
means, amounted to the following:
General fund. s62l, 1853 .95; permanent

making computation, and found these
figures OH the ward fund erroneous.
and suggested as one item was
wrong, he suspected the others were
unworthy of confidence. The whole
business was shelved until the CITY

was done.
Then followed hot tilt growing out

occurred between Aid. Nordeen and
Woodland, who differed on this point.
This matter finally simmered down to
the allowance of the extra compensa-
ton claimed. Aid. Nordeen claimed
that Aid. Woodward had tempered with
the figures after it had been signed. He
thought that Mari did nothing but eat
and sleep. He intimated that the s22. so
in dispute was going to fill some one
