OF public interest in connection with
the memorial services TO be held show
ing respect TO the late Maj. Newson,
and which are in charge of the Mime

some weeks ago, that there was an
agreement between the men engaged in
the sprinkling business and that the
successful bidder gave his fellow con-
spiraturS the double cross" and walked
off with all the contracts.
Present at The investigation Yesterday
were Assemblmen Johnson, Lightner,
Doran. ReardOn and Van Slyke of the
committee; MeSsrs. German and Quinby,
OF the board of public works, and Con-
tractors Feyen, Preston and Norris.
Mr.. ReardOn was trife late in putting
in an appearance, but Mr.. Johnson,
chairman Of the committee, said it was
a case like the negro who was going to
be hanged-the thing could not come off
until the principal was on hand. AS
soon as the meeting was called to
order Mr.. Reardon explained the matter
had been referred for an investiga-
ton at his suggestion. He had been in
formed the contractors had held a meet
ing and agreed to bid for the sprinkling
at higher figure than it was worth.
The board OF public works had been in
formed of the facts, but took no action.
He was prepared TO put men on the
stand and show the combine had been
formed.s If this were the caSe,h he argued,
the contract awarded to Feyen was not
legal, and could not be binding on the
city. Corporation Attorney Chamber
lain, being appealed to, said Mr.. Rear
don's statements as to the legality and
binding effect Of the contract would be
void if such a state of facts were shown.
There was some question as to whether
the committee had the power to swear
witnesses; tut this being decided one
of the privileges of the body, Mr.. Rear
don called for James FOrrestal TO take
the stand. There was no answer to the
call, and Mr.. ReardOn asked if the COM
mittee had not the power to compel
witnesses to appear. The corporation
attorney SAID the men wanted had not
been summoned, only asked to appear.
He suggested that the proper way would
have been TO subpoena them, which
might have had the desired effect. Mr..
Lightner thought the council had the
right to
Compel Witnesses TO Appear.
but he doubted if the power could be
delegated to committee. Mr.. ReaTdOn
said his resolution had given the COM
mittee the right TO send for persons and
papers, and If this could not be done it
was question if anything could be
learned of the scheme. Mr.. Lightner
thought the only question to be settled
was the approval or disapprovaI of the
contracts. Mr.. Reardon inquired if
there was any way to punish the COM
if cnrh n thing FHhn
corporation attorney thought not. o.
z. Holman, eX-eity attorney. who APP
peared as attorney for Nick Feyen,
said he was of the opinion that there
was a law on the statute books which
provided for just this kind of work. The
city attorney was of the impression that
there was no criminal proceedings
which could reach them even if it were
proven there had been a combine. MIR.
r 'ardOn said if he could get the men to
appear he would not only show there

been "bnodle" in the lighting contract
for the last ten years. Nh. johnson ana
Mr.. Van Slyke both were of the
opinion that the city was get
ting the best of the bargain, and the
correct thing to do was to approve
the contract with Feyen. 1t was evil
dent, they said, that the bids were
lower than ever before, and it was to
the best interests OF the city to take adj
vantage of the circumstances. The
bondSmen of the successful bidder were
reliable men, and the city.cOuld not be the
loser if the contract was approved. MI.
LgEtner objected to the contract being
approved. If, he said,
There Was a Combination
it operated to let one of the bidders put
in bids under the others, and for this
reason there was no open competition.
The bids received were based on COM
bination to beat the city, and the fact
that one of the bidders took advantage
of il made ii just as wrong as though
the combination had gone through. Mr..
Doran agreed with Mr.. Lightner. and
advanced as an argument for new BIDS
being advertised for That Mr.. Norris
had said that ~if there had been no
agre ement he would have put i'll lower
figures. Tie motion of Mr.. Reardon
that the committee recommend the con-
tract be not approved was carried, and
the council will be asked to order the
board of public works TO readVertlSe Tor
new bids.
After this had been disposed Of the
contract by means of which MIR. Rear
don had claimed the city had been
beaten out of 800 was taken up. Presi-
dent German, of the board of public
works, explained that the contract was
correct in every particular. The error
that Mr.. Reardon had found was in al
lowing the final estimate. An empl0ye
of the city engineers office, in figuring
up the final estimate, had figured 2,OOO
feet of a certain kind of stone at Al
cents, when the contract had only al
lowed 40 cents per square yard. rms
had been passed by the board OF public
works, which was not in the habit or
figuring the estimates over when they
were sent in by the city engineer and
marked by that official as correct. Mr..
German said he supposed the contractor
had spoken of the matter 10
some one, and, it coming to Mr.. Rear
don'S ears, the fuss had been made.
lie had not been aware Of the mistake
until a short time ago, when his atten-
ton had been called to the matter by
the talk made by MIR. Reardon. There
was nothing to it except that Mr.. Breen
had received SS504 more than he ought
to have. Mr.. Lightner said the mistake
was one likely TO be made in any depart
ment, no matter how well managed, and
was not one, i'll his opinion, that reflect
ed Oh the board of public works. Mr..
ReardOn, however, was not to be sat
on i'll this way, and he said he didn't
know how many more mistakes of this
kind might be found if a search were
made.

A FEMININE FEAST.
The Spring Opening of the Mann
heimer Brothers Dazzled the
Ladies OF ST. Paul.
They Hold Reception in Their
Gorgeous New Home, and En-
terrain Hundreds.

Despite the rain and the depressing
effect of the weather nearly all day yes
terday. the spring opening of the Mann
beimer Brothers. at their elegant new
store, corner OF Sixth and Robert streets,
was largely attended by the ladies of
st. Paul. Not even the little round
marbles that rolled down from the
vaults of heaven during the afternoon
could deter the feminine population of
the city from feasting their eyes upon
the fances they knew would
be displayed by one of the
most reliable dry goods firms
in the city, who invited and desired an
inspection of their new home. Those
who attended were well repaid for the
trip they made - either under the
which they intended TO replace when
they reached their destination, or
in the cosy cars of Tom
Lowry, which run by this bazaar
of beauty in every direction and from
every direction within a mile circle sur
rounding either of the Twin
Cities Of the Northwest. Once
Oh the inside, the dazzling array
of dress goods, the shimmering sheen
of silks, the varying hues Of velvet, the
merry cOlOrS OF merlnO, the clInging
cam bricS and the soft and radiant light
of the linens, whittier than the hail pat
tering against the window paneS, made
mother and maid forget the storm that
was brewing and raging on the outside.
Every lady who attended this exhibit
ton was presented with a handsome
souvenir which will find place in every
household of the fortunate recipients.
The products of the loom and spin
ming wheel, the individual hand and
the factory, the weaving from plant CT
tree, the spoils of the animal hunter,
from every country and every cline,
were on exhibition in all the gorgeous
glory of the modern day dry goods
dresser. No one was disappointed with
the display, from the wealthiest lady to
the lowly mother who came to
feast her eyes on what was be-
yohd her reach, but to carry home
that which became her social standing
in life. All were satisfied and all could
be supplied, and the uniform courtesy
shown to all classes is evidence Of a de-
sire to please al, and the verdict of how
we'll they succeeded was given by the
crowds who spent pleasant afternoon
in as fine ladies' emporium as can be
seen the country over. The exhibition
will practically remain for a few days,
for the benefit of those who were unable
TO attend yesterday.

always beensone since the street sprink-

discussion Nick Feyen, who had been
awarded the contracts for sprinkling,
was called. and, after being sworn, was
turned over to Mr.. Reardon, who put
him through a decidedly pointed cross
examination.
Mr.. Feyen said Mr.. ForreStal nor any
other person was interested with him In
the contracts. He had been present at
the home of Pat Norris at a meeting OF
the other bidders day or SO before the

emily was unfortunate enough to have

viously contracted. She also had catarrh.
Her breath was so fetd that it was almost i'm

nervous and had dry, hacking cough. Hard
only with great dithculty that she could swal-

could relish scarcely anything in the way Of
food, and felt miserable generally. Two
months treatment under the physicians of

her to health and happiness. The neck has

The Mayor Roasted.

The opening gun under these general
orders was fired in the Eighth ward at
a meeting held last night at Zertler's
hall on Carroll street, where a goodly
number of the faithful assembled in re-
Spouse to the circular. The document
was read, and at every point where the
crowd thought good point was scored
there was uproarious applause.
J. f. Pearce, president of the Eighth
Ward club, presided. and Thomas Rush
was chosen secretary. There was q
considerable discussion of the proposed
plan of action and organization, and
finally committee was named to con-
suit with Chairman Stevens and the
other organizers. In the meantime a
committee was at work, and submitted
the following resolution:
Resolved, That the Republicans Of
the Eighth ward denounce the course
pursued by +. P. Wright since his cleo
ton as mayor. He has been untrue to
every promise he made the Republican
party, the people and the citizens
committee, and the only benefit the city
or citizens have derived from his cleo
ton as reform mayor has been the
perpetuating of the old regime, and
furthering the interests Of his business
and family associates.
Resolved, That we most heartily con-
denim T. P. Wright for his nepotism,
lax enforcement of the laws, and the
continuation in Office of the most OBJ
iectionable members of the ''old gang"
These were adopted with rush and
with general applause, and the meeting
adjourned.

PLAIN TRUTHS PLAINLY PUT.

The testimonials that are presented to
the public by the physicians of the Cope
land Medical Institute do not come from
unknown people or from distant and
obscure towns. They are from this city.
They are from your friends and neigh-
bors. and can be easily verified and sub
stantiated. In no case is false name
or false address given. They are not
thrust upon the public for the purpose
OF bolstering up the assertions of weak
and incompetent men, nor are they the
product of the imaginative writer. Fur
thermore, they are not bought or given
IN exchange for free treatment.
