n DEFENSE
The Entirely Erroneous State
ment Made in the Herald.

With the most complete ignorance
untrue or unfair statement about
the Butler-F]ynD alderman question
from the Second ward could well have
been made than the following which
appeared in the in last weeks Herald:
"Mr. Butler has been spending the
winter in California, but before he
left did not apply for leave OF
absence and it was we'll known that
there was scheme on foot to spring
his resignation on the new council,
and have water power candidate
appointed. The council poured cold
water over the scheme by declaring
the office vacant and appointing Mr..
Flynn whose sympathy is with the
taxpayers OF the city and not the
Water Power company. From the
howl that has emanated from the
"Evening Water Power it is very
evident that the council has scored a
victory for the people as against
Fuller and his henchmen.'
Although no one who is at all
familiar with the facts believes that
there was any scheme or intention to
change aldermen in the Second ward,
except the scheme that was carried
out, the false statement is repeated
and reiterated The ABOVE state
ment that lit was we'll known that
there was q scheme on foot to
spring his resignation on the new
councip' has no authority back OF it,
and although it has been repeated
and circulated for ten days no
shadow of proof Of it can be pro-
duced, and yet that untrue state
ment is the only basis or excuse that
has been offered for his removal.
And what fair reason is there for
demanding protection Of the city from
the Water Power company? What
have they to expect Or ask from
the city, and how can friendly or
unfriendly council affect the
Water Power company? The
Herald's article was an uncalled
for and unwarranted attack on q
company that has been the cause OF
building up one OF the best cities in
the state, and without that company
our city would probably be in about
the same position it was in 1887.
They have never attempted to gain
all advantage over the city, and
even in the agreements made the
Water Power company has been the
deceived and losing party. The
Water Power company has carried
out all promises, and the city has
been unable to do so. An attack on
it by any newspaper should find no
endorsement in public sentiment.

Bent TheSabbath. =.

The commandment to 'Remember
the Sabbath Day and Keep it Holy"
is operative now just as much as it
was in the days when it was first
given to mankind, and E. Lindsey,
the colored barberin the Flynn block
will have cause to remember 1T. 1t
seems that on Sunday morning a
man went into his shop and got
shaved. Some of the other BARRIERS
found it out and yesterday warrant
was issued for him, charging him
with violating the law. He was
brought up before Justice Shaw this
morning and given the lightest fine
possible 81 and costs amounting In
all to 81. Mr.. Lindsey acknowledged
his guilt and claimed that he shaved
one of his regular customers as u
matter of accommodation and not

Change of Meeting Time.

The Knights ofPythias lodge (that
has been meeting in Odd Fellows
Hall on Friday EVENING" and the
Rebekah lodge (that has been meet
ing in. the same hall On Wednesday
evening" have traded evenings. and
hereafter the Knightsof Pythias will
meet on Wednesday evening and the
Rebekahs on Friday evening. This
change was desired by those Knights
who were also Masons, as they can
now a ttend meetings of both orders.
The percentage of Masons among
the Rebekah's is SO small that no
interests will conflict by having the
meetings Of both lodges on the same
evening.

THE BOGIE MIN.
The Hbject Terror of the Dem.
ocrat Over Feared Water
Mains Extensions.

An uninfOrmed person in reading
the Democrats editorials and CORE
spOndence would imagine that the
Electric & Water company was a
constant petitioner for water mains
extensions, and that some desperate
defensive work on the city council
would be necessary to prevent gen.
eral robbery. The city records will
show that only three extensions
have been made since the original
contract was made, and we heard of
no opposition to the original con-
tract, made 1890. The three extern
siOns were as follows:
1st-To the Hennepin Paper Co.
2nd-To the Pine Tree Co.
3rd-To st. Gabriel's Hospital.
Each of those extensions was made
on petition of industries and institu-
tions that have been Of great benefit
to the city, and were endorsed by
a general public demand for them.
At the time they were ordered by the
city council it seemed good public
policy to supply each with fire pro-
lection facilities. Any complaint
about extensions is against these in
stitutions, and not against the
Electric & Water company. The
Electric & Water company has not
asked for any extensions and will
not do so. No extensions should be
made until the city has paid off it's
floating debt, and then the question
should be decided on it's merits, after
considering the needs of any portion
| of the city, the financial ability Of the
city to pay for the extensions. and
the benefits to- be derived from them,
regardless of the desires or interests
of the Electric & Water company
The Electric & Water company has
no plans or desires for any exten.
sions until the city is in perfect con-
dition financially, and tile growth
of the city demands growth OF the
Electric & Water company's plant as
well as of all other industries that
are here to supply public demands
The Electric & Water company il
here to supply any demand made or
it for light or water, but from a bus
mess standpoint it is very plain that
the city cannot increase it's expenses
in that or any other direction fol
some time to come.

An Adjourned Meeting Of the City
Council Mill =be Hsld this
Evening. .5t- 5
What Will be Done With the Four
Aldermen Fron the Second
Wardl


This evening the old council win
hold an adjourned meeting ut the
city hall, and as it Is their first meet
ing since their remarkable one in
which they removed W. A. Butler
and put in his place G. Flynn and
also declared DR.. Wrightelected and
then changed their vote and refused
to declare result, a agOod deal of in
terest is felt in what they will do to-
night. WA. Butler has returned
from California and wiI claim his
seat this evening": and the council
can show mo legal authority for
their attempt to remove, him last
week. He has a. right to the Office
to which he was elected, and should
not be refused that right. The ex-
cuse for the action, that somebody
had his resigna ton, and wanted the
office, is entirely false. The council
should correct it's error.
The Wright-McDonald matter will
also probably come, up this evening.
AS it now stands the votes were can
vassed and 1t was shown DIR. Wright
was elected as alderman from the
Second ward; he was declared
elected, then the council:reuonsidered
that declaration and failed tc de-
clare any result. The law very
plainly provides that they shall CAN
vass the returns OF the judges of
election and delare the result, and
they did SO in every case but DR..
Wright's. 1t does not seem possible
that they will again refuse to per-
form their plain duty in the matter.
The councils action of last week
in both cases may have been taken
under a misapprehension Of the
facts. and now that the true condi-
tion has been developed it remains
to be seen if they will still insist oil,
their former course.

Thpv Were Loaded

An 11-year-old son of Mat Gross Of
Pierz town met with an accident
yesterday which will deprive him Of
the use of several fingers for the rest
of his life. In some manner he became
possessed of several dynamite caps
aud while playing with them they
exploded lacerating his hands in a
terrible manner. A physician was
summoned who amputated two
fingers and the thumb of one hand.
He also dressed the fingers on the
other hand and thinks they will not
have to be amputated. 1t was a
rather tough experience for the boy,
but the knowledge he acquired of
dynamite may keep him out OF
further trouble with this dangerous
explosive,
