MAKES THE LAKE 4 CES>POOL.
Complaint of Fremont People Against
Mil Company's Dam.

The dam of the Fremont Milling Com
many. in Lake Union. =, according 10
numerous citizens Of Fremont and vic.n-
ity. a nuisance that should be abated. The
dam is at the lower end Of the lake and
was put in for the purpose Of raising the
water so that the company could handle
its logs with greater facility. There IS no
sewer connecting with the North sewer
tunnel in that district and all of the
drainage goes into the lake. Il . claim
cd that If the dam was not there, the
natural outflow of the water would carry
of the drainage and keep the water
clean, but as il is now, a nasty, green
scum is formed on the water, and the odo'
arising from it is said TO be very unpleas-
ant The people also claim that the milling
conpany's business would not be injured
by the removal of the dam.
a lengthy petition was recently sent 10
the city council BY interested people IN
that locality, praying for an abatement
Of the so-called nuisance.

Cannot hold Office.

In an exhaustive decision the supreme
court has put the minds of Minnesota
politicians and Office holders at rest
upon question of constitutional law
that has been agitating them ever since
the adjournment of the last session Of
the legislature. The ruling is that
John b. Sutton, of Saltwater, mem
Der of the last legislature, appointed to
the Office of boiler inspector shortly
after the adjournment of the legislature,
is Ineligible by reason of the provisions
of Article 4, section 9. of the constitu-
ton.
The term for which Mr.. Sutton was
elected to the legislature does not ex-
pire until the first Monday in January,
1897, and until that time he may not
hold any Office under the United States,
or the state of Minnesota. The fact Of
his resignation of that Office cuts no
figure.

MINNESOTA NEWS.
Chastity.

A man named Lawrence, while hunt.
Ing near Minnetonka Mills, IN piece
OF woods, found the body of man sus-
pended from tree by rope. The
body was resting on stump, and it
was at once appal ent that it was a
case OF suicide, and the body had been
there for long time.
On the body was found portion of
the Chicago Saturday Blade, dated
Aug. Is, 1894. 1t was soaked with
water and torn, but on the top of the
front page in lead pencil were the
words: 'My name is William Caffrey,
Mt. Pleasant" or at least that is what
the words appeared to be. They were
almost illegible. The body must
have been hanging there since July or
August for the flesh had all disap-
peared, and there was nothing but
bones left. The wolves, also, seem to
have made feast of the body, and it
was left in horrible state. There
was not besides the paper to indicate
the mans identity.
The man did not commit suicide for
lack of money, for in his pocketbook
was found S6.78. The silver dollars had
corroded even inside the leather case.
The watch which the man had was
green from corrosion, and there was
very little left of the clothes.
