The low stage OF water is bad for

RIVER NAVIGATION.
The Grand Rapido Board OF
Trade Takee Action for
a Meeting.

The proposition to urge the gov
eminent to take up the work of i'm.
proving, the Mississippi river fol
navigation north of Minneapolis is
securing active attention just now
and the Grand Rapids board OF
trade has sent communications to
other cities asking suggestions as to
time and place for calling conven.
ton to consult regarding the move
ment. The people OF Grand Rapids
suggest date as early as June Is,
and prompt cooperation OF the
other cities is desirable. The Grand
Rapids Heraldsays: "1'he progress to
be made in hefuture largely depends
upon the interest taken at the first
meeting and it is hoped that the at
tendance will be as large as possible,
and that the towns Of northern Min
nesota will respond to the call by
sending their best men as delegates.
A memorial to congress will be part
of the business for the proposed con-
vention to attend to, and it is de-
sirable that the meeting he held as
early as June 18th, thus giving Maj.
Jones ample time in which to en-
body the same, together with other
Recommendations in his annual re-
port which will he submitted to the
department at Washington on the
30th of June. Our contemporaries
at the several points mentioned are
III a position to do much in the way
OF stirring up the commercial bodies
to immediate action"
The paper for the law supplements
issued this week was furnished by
the Hennepin Paper company, and
the following, taken from the Pioneer
Press, will he Of interest in this
connection: The supplement con-
sists Of twenty eight closely printed
pages, of seven columns each, which
will contain the text of the 44 new
laws. In single column the sup
plement would be 35l feet long, or
fifty one feet longer than Il city block,
and would contain about III 600
words. This is the size OF single
copy, and when the enormous num-
her of copies are considered the
figures become appalling. Thepaper
required weighs about $50, 900 pounds
and furnished a. load for six cars. 1t
is the product OF the Hennepin
Paper company OF Little Falls and
it took six days continuous work,
working night and day, to make the
paper. The courtesy Of G.. |. McNair,
secretary and manager of the COM
pany, who postponed work on all
other orders, enabled the Newspaper
union to furnish the supplement SO
promptly. If all the copies OF the
supplement were in single column
width the laws would be about H.
200 miles long, almost half the
circumference Ot the CLONE. FOur
thousand two hundred pounds of
linotype metal were used in printing
the laws, and SO many copies were
struck off that the stereotype plates
were renewed six times"
A tramp attacked Mrs. New, who

Chief Bailey lately caught on to a
new ruse employed by tramps
to avoid detection and the
result was Il couple OF them were
caught and landed in the lookup.
Immediately after getting off the
trains here they take to the woods
east of town and work the outside
residen ts for their meals and build
fires and sleep there. One Of the
two caught this morning was one of
the worst type and was given a ten
days sentence by Justice Gaudet.
He will be put TO work on the
streets. The other by letters and
general appearance satisfied the
court that he was not Il common
vagrant and, although without
means and in bad company, was a.
deserving and Industrious fellow.
He was allowed his liberty and
started out in quest OF work.
President Bentield, Df the village

they were too late, but said that the

The Lexow Investigation.

The session Of the Lexow Police Invest
igating committee came to an end last Sat
urdsy with the testimony Of Superintend
ent of Police Byrnes and the surprising
announcement by him that he had tender
cd his resignation to Nsyor-elect Strong,
to take effect on or suv time after January
l, 1895. In his letter to Mr.. Stroag, the
superintendent offers his aid and advice
to the new administration in anything
pertaining to the police department.
Chairman Lexow received letter from
Anthony Comstock, president Of the So.
ciety for the Prevention of Vice, protest
ing that he had never accepted bribe, al
testified before the committee, and point
ing out his creditable record for the pas
% years. Mr.. Lexow, however, would
not read the letter to the committee.
Supt. Byrnes went to police headquarterl
Sunday morning and spent four hour,
packing his private papers, to be removed
in the event Of the acceptance of his reqaes
to be retired. Regret at Mr.. Byrnes',
probable departure seems completely over
shsdowed by curiosity IS To where COIN
petent successor could be found. Inspect
or Conlin is the next officer in rank to tn,
superintendent. He enjoys the distinct
ion Of being the only inspector unsmirch
cd by the testimony before the Lexov

treat OF candy, oranges, etc.
At the conclusion of the services, in q
neat and impressive speech. Miss Nellie
Koch in behalf of the congregation pre-
septsd the pastor with purse to which
he responded in touching words.
After the singing of the Doxology all de-
parted feeling that the day had been prof
tably spent. II was Rev. Schefsr's last
services in the West Liberty church, as be
has been called to another charge, and it
was with regret that the members bade
him goodbye. as he was faithful minis
