There Yasga large attendance at yes
-terday's meeting of the board of abate-
ment. Acting Mayor Hickman presided
owing tothe absence or Mayor Wright
from the city, A large number of APP.
pllcations for abatement were heard, ia
few of them being granted and a great
, many more, being continued for future
action. The application of the Title
Insurance and Trust company for an
abatement of the arbitrary assessment
OF $4,000 was, taken up. Hiram f.
Stevens made the same statement Ill
substance that was made to the board
OF equalization, and at his request the
matter was referred to the county and
corporation attorneys for an opinion.
The company filed a statement which
shows that its capital stock is $780, 600.
Or this 100000 is set aside as a guar.
anty fund, $4,000 is invested III the title

total of S427, 223 of the capital stock in

subject to taxation as the personal prOp-
erty of the company, as the other prop
erty is taxed IN other shapes Besides
this the company pays per cent ollzits
receipts as do other insurance com
panieS. MIR. Stevens made the point
that the company should not be taxed
as trust company as that is not Its
principal business, and is only engaged
in to giveit business with other similar
institutions in the East.
The application, to correct the arbit-
rary assessment of $4,000 made against
ID. c. Shepard was discussed and it was
the opinion of the board that the cor.
rection should be made because it is
unjust and not properly made. The
matter was laid over to allow proper
papers TO be prepared so that the old
assessment of 1888. $40 may be fixed as
the basis.
The question of abating worthless
mortgages was raised and referred to
the city and the county attorneys for an
opinion. The personal property asses
ment against tiie Town and Country
club was reduced from $4,000 to 81 Goo

MURDERER or ERICKSON SUPPOSED
TO BE HIDING
IN A COUNTRY BUILDING.

On Day Following Murder Man
Bleeding From Cuts Seen Sour
rying Along Saltwater Road
Seen Later in a Washington
County Vacant House-House
Now surrounded by ID Detectives
The police are now working on clre
obtained yesterday which, they assert,
may result i'll the capture of the MUIR
deler of Marti Z. Erickson.
The day after the murder the police
were informed by milkman, VINO lives
in the eastern part of the city, that he
saw young fellow OH the saltwater
road who answered the description of
the man who committed the crime. The
fellow, the milkman said. was hurryin g
along the road at q lively gait. and
his face and hands were badly cut and
bleeding, as though he had been in a
fight. 1t was shortly after 6 O'clock
when the milkman met the man, and
that AFTERNOON the matter was reported
to the police. Just at that time the
officials were working on the theory
that Erickson had been murdered for
revenge, and no parti cular attention was
paid to the mikman's story.
Yesterday the female members of
family residing oD the Saltwater road
just outside the Ramsey county line WIS.,
tied friends near the Margaret. street
station, and while there the Erickson
murder case was discussed. The cOun-
try people in talking OF the, crime men-
toned about suSpiciOus-Iooking char
acter who was stopping in an unoccu-
pied house not far from where they
lived. The fellow they said had his
hands bandaged ana his face was
marked with several. cuts. The family
they were visiting immediately notified
the officials at the Margaret street police
station and officers were. at once sent
out to the house. mentioned to capture
the man.
Three officers we're sent to the unoc-

Up to late hour last night the Off
GERS at the house had seen nothing of
the man supposed to be hiding there,
but they were Instructed 10 remain on
watch all night, and if the fellow showed
up 10 capture him at all hazards and
bring him to the station. Chief of De-

in the aforementioned clue. and still
sticks to his theory that the murder was
the result of conspiracy for the pur-
pose of putting Erickson out of the way.

Roosevelt on Americanism.

The next issue of the American Citi-
zen will contain an interesting letter
from Hon. Theodore Roosevelt on True
Americanism."
Commissioner Roosevelt has already
shown his hostility to the proscrlptive
purposes OF the new Knownothingism
in an address recently delivered at Bos-
ton. His article in the American, Clti-
zen goes somewhat extensively into his
own experience in public life, which
enables him to say that those against
whom the new movement is directed
are among the best and truest Amer
lcans he has known.

BIRDS AND THEIR CARE.
A Few Words to Those Who Con
Template Keepin@ a Canary.

Few Words to Those Who Con-
template Keeping a Canary.
Has it occurred to you that it would be
delightful and cheering thing to have
yellow canary swinging in the sunny
dining-room window above the flowers
you mean TO keep there all winter?
Have you thought that you would like TO
hear 1t trilling its little song as you
poured the coffee and your husband rus
lied his morning paper? You are really
mistaken, but nothing but experience
VIII convince you that of all unmitigated
nulsances pet bird is the worst. Moth
ing but living in the same house with it
will teach you that it has more diseases
than baby: that 1t never sings except
when any noise will prove particularly
distressing and dlstractlDg; that 1t Is con-
tinually losing its feathers, and that even
II all these things were not so, it is bar
barous TO cage 1t. Since only experience
will teach you this, here are a few points
for your guidance until you give the bird
up:
In the first place, the cat must be ban
lshed. The lion and the lamb may some
day lie down together. but not even the
millennium will make the cat and the
canary dwell together in peace and alnity.
The canary must he kept scrupulously
clean. The cage should be strewed every
morning with clean sand or with fine
gravel. Small pebbles are absolutely
essential to the life and health of birds.
The bird must be bathed every day in a
shallow vessel and must have fresh water
TO drink put in the drinking vessel. It's
food should consist of summer rape seeds
that is, the small brown rape seed OBJ
tained from plants sown in the spring.
and it should not be fed with the large
black rape seeds. A little chick weed or
lettuce leaves may be given. In the
autumn scraps OF endive may be served,
and in the winter slices Of sweet apple
may vary the canary's diet. The cage
should never be less than eight inches in
diameter and foot high, with perches at
different nights.
In winter the cage should never
be hung in room without fire, but
even then, when the air is mild and the
sun is bright, the bird will pe refreshed
by having the window open.
