WHY NOT #. HI. PEAVEY?
Who VIII Be President of the Board
of Educations

The popular impulse to put the best bust
ness men of Minneapolis into office as much
as possible, and which resulted in the election
OF class of men not common enough in
public office, most notable instance of
which was the election of r. II. Peavey to The
board of education, without Mr. Peavey
having expressed a desire for the Office to a.
single person, has been followed I'D by
suggestion that Mr.. Peavey be elected presi-
dent of the board. The board of education
is one which at present has most to do with
raising funds and furnishing the equipment
Tor the schools. It's great problem Is one Of
nnances, and the suggestion is made that a.
man who has been so successful in guild
ing and building up a great business should
be equally valuable in handling the matter
for the people. There is no question that Mr.
Peavey would be able to do as well by the
board as any financier in America.
There is another reason assigned for the
president. He is an excellent executive officer
and If he is charged with the matter of fnanc-
ing the board he will have done his full
share, thus emitting him to escape the detail
work of some of the other committees for
which other members are perhaps better
equipped.
1t is probable that the Office of president
will be settled in a quiet way without any
Of the outward signs of politics. There are
two candidates now out for the place-Rev.
M. F. Gjertsen; the present head of the
board, and DR.. Quinby. How the board will
divide up between these two is not known.
but 1t is certain that at least two Of the
members Of the board want to see Mr. Peavey
elected president, and there may be more be-
fore the matter is brought to a test.

IN A PAINTING CONDITION.
| A Young Woman Attacked Early in
the Evening.

Pale and exhausted from fright and over
exertion young woman fell against the
doors Of the Gem drug store Lyndale and
Western avenues, last evening. They gave
way and she was precipitated upon the floor
in a fainting condition. Walter Baldwin, the
clerk, raised her to a chair and she imme-
diately swooned. Restoratives were applied
and consciousness restored, which was fol-
lowed by historical spasms. Her condition re-
suited from a bold assault made upon her
while she was crossing the Lyndale avenue
bridge. It was shortly before o'clock and
she was hurrying to her home on Fremont
avenue, of Western avenue, when she en-
countered man near the middle of the bridge
he brushed closely past her, scanning her
face in leering glance. Instnctively she
qu1ckened her gait and was passing down the
incline approaching Western avenue when she
was suddenly seized from behind and thrown
to the pavement. She it was the man

seeing no person respond to her cries. her
assailant started after her, and was gaining
rapidly when she dashed across the street
into the store. No others witnessed the oc-
currence 1t was subsequently learned that
her cries had been heard but neighbors mis-
took them for those of children engaged at
play. AS soon as the woman could tell her
story several people in the drug store started
out, hoping to find trace Of the miscreant
but their efforts were without success
The woman is twenty-five years of age,
/ rather fashionably dressed and Of prepos-
sessing appearance, with trim figure jet

cealed two valuable diamond rings. In one
hand she carried her purse, containing a

The tendency toward consolidation
and simplification Of business which has
been manifested in nearly every branch
of business was manifested yesterday
in the union of two of the best known
banking institutions Of Minneapolis, the
Union National and the Flour City
National. AS has been generally known
in banking circles, arrangements have
been pending for some time for the
deal which has been contaminated.
There were only minor considerations
upon which the officers of the banks
differed, and these have been satisfac-
torly settled. The Union National bank
will abandon it's banking house in the
Phoenix block, and it's books and as
sets will be transferred to the Flour
City National bank in the Lumber ex-
change, where deposits will be received
and checks paid A part of the force
of the Union National bank will be
found at the Flour City bank and bust
ness will not be interrupted. The name
of the Union National bank will disap-
pear from the list, and the Flour City
will become one of the biggest and
strongest banks in the city.
The negotiations between the two
banks have been going on with the ap-
prevail of the comptroller of the cur
rency, James H Eckles, who had a
representative on the ground in the
person of Joseph T. Talbert, national
bank examiner. Mr.. Talbert would not
discuss the matter for publication when
seen at the West hotel last evening,
futher than to say that all the facts
in connection with the consolidation Of
the interests have been known to the
comptroller and were approved. In his
judgment, Mr.. Talbert said, the ar
rangement was an excellent one in
every way.

Louis Sheare Pleads Guilty to q
Charge of Gambling.

Louis Sheare, newsboy who was arrested
Monday in an alley off Newspaper Row, was
arraigned in the municipal court this morn
ing. on charge of gambling. He pleaded
guilty, and was fined $10 ten days.
George Emery, alias Willis, who was ar
rested Monday while in the act Of picking

to the grand jury. Emery claimed that an
other boy grabbed the pncketbl k and handed
it to him, after which he had ncriminated
himself by handing it back to Mrs. Cum
mings, from whose pocket it was taken.
The case against Ida Salter, charged with
slandering a fe male, dismissed. The
complainant was Petrea Krinkelbach who
claimed that Ida had circulated a rumor re-
garding the latter's reputation for veracity.
There was no evidence to substantiate the
charge, and Judge Kerr threatened to send
all parties in the case to the workhouse if
they came into the court on such trivial
matter again.

MINNESOTA'S MIR. BIXBY PAYS A
VISIT TO THE PRESIDENT
ELECT.
MARK HANNA THERE, ALSO.
M'KINLEY AND HIS MANAGER
MEET FOR TEE FIRST TIME
SINCE ELECTION.
CONFERENCE LASTED TWO HOURS.
The National Chairman Declines to
Express an Opinion as to Cab
met Possibilities.

CANTON, o., Nov Irrational
Chairman M. A. Hanna was in Canton
this afternoon. He arrived over the
Valley road at p. m In company with
Gen. Osborne, national secretary who
has been in Cleveland for several days.
President elect Mckinley went to the
depot in the family carriage to meet
the visitors. They drove direct to the
Mckinley home, where lunch was de-
layed until after their arrival. This
is the first time the president ELECT and
the national chairman have met since
election.
Mr.. Mckinley remained In conference
from lunch till 4 o'clock this. afternoon
with MIR. Hanna and Mr. Osborne
When the trio came down stairs at
the hour mentioned, Mr.. Hanna's face
beamed with good humor and good
spirits that made him look younger
than when he actively entered the
great presidential contest as Mr.. Nc
Kinley's friend over a year ago. When a
reporter asked him if a cabinet would
be announced soon, he simply said:
'You must ask the major" and the
newspaper men knew that no asking
would get any information on which to
base an authoritative opinion on that
subject at this time.
AS Mr.. Hanna was walking to the
carriage for the train, he was asked
if he expected Maj. and Mrs. McKin-
ley to go to Thomasville, Ca, to So
journ with him at his winter home.
He said he would be mighty glad ii
they would do it, but again referred
that subject to Mr.. Mckinley, who said
he had heard nothing from Mr.. Hanna
on the matter. Mr. Hanna returned
to Cleveland at Ais. Gen. Osborne will
remain here until Wednesday, return
ing to New York by next Monday.
Hon. E. H. X. Greene, chairman of
the Republican state committee of
Texas, ex-State Chairman J. H. Hus-
ton, of Indiana; Charles Hodges, OF
Galveston, and Hon. Tams Bixby
chairman of the executive committee
Of the Republican committee of Min
nesota, were among a score of callers
awaiting an audience with Mr.. McKin-
ley during his conference with Mr.
Hanna. Mr.. Mckinley drove to the sta
ton with Mr.. Bixby this afternoon.
Maj. Mckinley and Mrs. Mckinley
took a drive during the morning, in the
| family carriage, the president-elect
handling the lines. They drove about
the city, returning home at II 81
o'clock. The daily drives are doing 6
great deal towards bringing the t1nts
| of health back to Mrs. Mckinley:
! face, and she seems much strengthened
and refreshed.
