the water problem with which the
city is now wrestling.
Again the shutting off of the water
from the motors is short-sighted
policy in another respect, for the reve-
nue. which the city is thus deprived
of from these motors in the course of
year would more than pay for the
sinking Of well, which would not
only furnish enough water for this
purpose, but to supply the other
wants of the city. If the council in
stead Of dropping money here and
there for something the city has no
pressing use for, would have taken
calm and business-like survey of the
matter, and exercised a little judg-
ment as to the urgent needs of the
city, the difficulty which now stands
before it could be easily avoided and
our business men not put to large
expense to put in some other power to

WHEN st. Paul and Minneapolis can
find nothing else to quarrel over, they
bring up the census matter. Two or
three days ago some of the Mime
apolis papers sprung a sensation to
the effect that ST. Paul was prepar-
ing to pad the census returns of that
city some 10000 names, claiming there
was committee working in secret for
that purpose. The Pioneer Press ex-
plains that the committee was simply
taking steps to verify the list of the
enumerators, and to get hold of the
names of those who are temporarily
out of the city, to give to the census
authorities for the purpose of being
counted if not already on the list. AS
many of the enumerators have already
made their reports, and as the work
of the citizens committee must either
go through the hands of the enumera-
tors or the census officials in the Sec
retarys office, there is not much
chance to perpetrate the fraud alleged.
Perhaps the green-eyed jealousy
which Minneapolis is always pictur-
ing as having possession of St. Paul,
has moved up the river.

LOFOTEN,

They refused to go to work, and for
this reason the factory is at present
silent.
Ole Kurshus, who has direct charge
Of the men, states that the real
cause of the strike is that the men
wanted more pay. They are receiving
$3.50, S1.75 and.s2 per day, according
to their merits, averaging the second
figure, and have never made any COM
plant, and do not now state what ad-
vance they want.
M. O. Sundt, one of the principal
members of the company, states that
the strike took him entirely by sur
prise, as he was not aware
that the men had any fault to find.
They have always been paid promptly,
and if they had wanted their money
today he would have borrowed enough
to pay them. & They have been receiv-
ing as much as employees of similar
factories. They had never asked for
an advance of wages, and'if they want
such an advance now have not yet in
timated what they want.
The company has good deal of
work on hand at the present time,
and Mr.. Korshus thinks that they
chose this as an opportune moment to
enforce demands for higher wages.
He states that he will discharge them
all and hire new men, and this state
ment is also seconded by Mr.. Sundt.
They say that they can easily secure
new men who will do as good or bet
ter work for the same wages. A part
of the men are the same who were
with Korshus & Nostedahl Bros. Half
of them are married men and one is a
painter, whose family lives at st.
Peter, and who is supposed'to be one
of the ring-leaders of the movement.
The Lofoten company will make a
special effort to fill it's contracts, and
expects to have the factory in opera
tion as usual shortly. The work now
. lies about the building as it was left
Nby the men this noon. The men do
not belong to any union or have Or
ganization, so Mr.. Korshus states.

The Lofoten Hardwood Co.'S factory
was silent Tuesday. 1t is an en-
forced silence, for there is plenty OF
work on hand. Ten mechanics which
the company employs went out on a
strike this noon, and under such cir
cumstances that the occurrence has
some humorous aspects. The men
have been receiving their pay each
two weeks, and today was payday.
When they went out in a body this
noon to M o. Sundt's store for their
money, they were asked by that
gentleman to wait day or two, as he
wished to make one or two more
collections forWork done and have the
money on hand rather than to borrow.
The men seemed satisfied and half OF
them withdrew. One who remained
made some remarks about wages not
being high enough, unless they were
assured of work during the winter
season. Mr.. Sundt assured him that
there was no reason why the factory
could not run during the winter and
that if any factory of the kind could
do it this one could unless the men
were at fault. This seemed to salts
fly this man and he and his compan-
ions withdrew.
Half an hour later the men gather
ed in front of the factory and one of
them carried sign bearing the pain

THE action of the councilsSaturday
evening in shutting off the water for
use in running motors demonstrates
the need of an electric power COM
pany in our midst. If the matter Of
furnishing electricity for all the
various needs of the city could have
been given to one company, it would
have resulted in great benefit to the
city, in obtaining power much cheaper
than will now doubtless be the case
should any movement in this direc-
tion be attempted. The cheapness Of
electricity depends upon the amount
furnished, and all the electricity
needed in our city for every purpose
could have been more cheaply fur
nished from one plant, than it can be
to divide the matter up.

GOT HIS MAN.
Officer Kelley Perforates a Tramp's

About Sis O'Clock last evening. as
Officer Kelley was going towards the
city hall after supper, he met two
tramps near the Omaha freight depot.
They were part of gang of seven that
was locked up Sunday night and or
dered out of the city yesterday morn
ing. The officer accosted them and
asked why they had not left the city,
whereupon they began to abuse him.
He, placed them under arrest and
started for the city hall, but the
tramps refused to go and made break
for liberty. Officer Kelley held on to
the larger one, strong, burly tramp,
while the smaller one made good his
escape. Mr.. Kelley got the big one
down and then started with him.
When opposite the alley back of the
St. Paul House, the tramp pulled off
his coat and threw it into the gutter
and then bolted into the alley. The
officer called several times to him to
halt, and, as he did not have his club
with him, fired at the mans legs. The
bullet entered one leg near the knee,
making a flesh wound, and the tramp
then became docile and walked to the
city hall, where he was given cell.
DR.. Jacoby was summoned and cut
out the bullet, which was 3S-calibre
one and imbedded under the skin by
the left knee joint.
Officers Kelley ,Schiman and Daniels
responded few moments later to
telephone message from the St. Paul
House, where four or five tramps were
congregated and were threatening
vengeance on the city. By the time the
officers arrived there the hobos were
out of sight, and diligent search for
them proved fruitless. Two other
tramps were found who were on their
way walking to Lake Crystal, and
were allowed to go on.
The tramps who are now going
through the country are professionals.
as all idle workmen can get plenty to
do in the harvest fields, where the
Macedonian cry, "Come over and help
us, is going up from the farmers.
1t seems as though the city officials
are certainly blameworthy in not sup
plying stone-pile to make the tramps
pay for their lodging and thus rid the
city of a great nuisance. The policy
of laying the blame for the present
state of things upon each other by the
various departments of our city gov.
eminent won't go much longer with
the people. The mayor recommended
a stone-pile in his message, the
municipal judge wants one, the alder,
men individually favor it, and the
police favor it. Then why in the
name of common sense is not stone.
pile provided?
The tramp who was injured last
evening gives the lame of James
Burns, and says that he came from
Omaha and was working toward the
harvest fields. He says that he was
about twenty feet away from the of
ficer when the latter fired. He also
says that his other leg was broken al
Omaha and that it is still weak anC
is difficult to walk on.
The wounded man was taken to thu
city hospital this afternoon. 1t will
probably be several days before he re
covers sufficiently to take to the roaC
again. Whether any charges will b.
made against him is not known.

AN ODD FRIENDSHIP.
A Goose Which Shows Both Affection
and Gratitude.

a oOUoC w ShoW =
and Gratitude.
There is an old saying, AS stupid as a
goose" but the following story, well au-
thenticated. of a goose that lived more
than hundred years ago, proves that .
stupid goose is capable Of one of the highest
of virtues, gratitude:
This goose was once saved by the house
dog from the attack uf fox, and from that
time attached Itself in the strongest and
most affectionate manner To- the dog. 1t
would never quit the kennel, except for
the purpose of feeding. and then IL would
return again Immediately. Ii always sat
by the dog, but never presumed tn GO into
the kennel, except in rainy weather. When
ever the dog barked the goose would
cackie and run at the person she sup
posed the dog intended To attack and try
to bite his heels. Sometimes she would at
tempt 10 feed with her friend. but this the
dog, who treated his faithfurfriend rather
with Indifference, would not allow.
The goose would not go to roost with the
others at night, unless driven by main
force: and when, in the morning, she was
turned out, she would Not pass through the
yard gate into the field, but would take
up her position at the side of the kennel
At last orders We're given that she should
not be nolested, and when thus left to
herself, she ran about the yard with him
all night and what is even more extraor.
binary, whenever the dog went out of the
yard and ran into the street, the goose
always acconpa MED him, contriving to
keep up with him by using both feet and
wings In this way, both running and fly
ing, she followed HIM all over the vii
lage.
This extraordinary affection Of the goose
for the dog continued until the latter's
death, two years after the rescue While
the dog was i'll, the cease never quilted
him, day or night, even to eat, and it was
feared that she would starve to dea th SO
orders were given that a pan of corn should
b. setevery day close To the kennel. Atthis
time the goose generally sat inside the
kennel, and would not allow anyone to ap-
proach it except the person who brought
the dogs and her own food.
The end of this faithful bird was melan-
choly, for, when the dog died she still kept
possession uf the kennel, and another dog
being introduced which. in size and color
resembled the lately lost, the poor goose
was unhappily deceived, and, on going into
the kennel, as usual. the new occupant
seized her by the neck and killedher-Brcok-
