SMOKE NUISANCE.
Mayor DOran's Promise to Be Pulled
on Him

The smoke nuisance which has been
In times past the cause of much talk
and discussion and the passage of nu-
merouS ordinances, is again coming to
the front. A number of the owners of
large plants went to considerable ex-
pense last spring in their efforts to
comply with the ordinance and abate
the nuisance by putting on smoke con-
sumers. While this is true in many in
stances, there are others who have
failed to take any steps to abate the
nuisance.
Before the spring election Mayor
DOran was approached by committee
and asked to state his position in re-
gard to the enforcement of the ordi-
mayer The injustice CT having smoke
consumers placed on one plant While
All adjoining one was allowed to go
without any attempt to stop the
nuisance at that particular time to
the candidate for mayor and his writ
ten reply to the committee, was that
he was in favor Of equal and exact
justice tC all with special favors to
none, and where conditions were equal,
no difference should be made in strict
enforcement"
Since his election, however, the mayor
has probably, owing to the rush OF Cffi-
cial business, neglected to take steps
to have the ordinance relating to the
smoke nuisance enforced. He will be
called upon in the near future by
committee who will request that sGme
action be taken to have the ordinance
enforced in all cases.

a resident of St. Paul for the last
twelve or thirteen years. coming here
from the West. His name has been
associated with many Of the enter

establishing the Ryan Drug Co. The
large fortune he once possessed has re-
Gently been affected by the hard times
and unsuccessful business enterprises.
But for all that he stands well in the
world of business, being appreciated
for his tact and judgment displayed

The attention Of the local library
was called to the existence and posi-
bilitys of securing the works by a let
ter in the Critic from Mark Twain to
Col. Richard w. Glider. In the letter
Mr.. Clemens explains that Col. Jacobs,
the English resident at Jeypore, has had
the drawings made by young pupils in
the art schools, and the Maharajah has
manifested a kindly interest in the
work, SO sincere, in fact, that he has as
sured foreigners that a set of the first
six parts would be presented to any
public institution in the world for bona

BuclHinG CHAM Robbery Results I'm n
Sensation.

The occupants Of the Buckingham
apartment house are stirred UP over
a robbery which took place there re-
Gently. The rooms of Mrs. Laure Tink-
con We're entered and jewelry amount
ing to $645 stolen. The jewels were the
property of Mrs. Tinkcon and were
famlly heillooms, priced by their owner
more for the associations which have
surrounded them than for their value
as gems.
Mrs. Tinkcon has g. daughter living
at Mankato and arranged to visit her
last week. She left Friday evening
but did not desire to take the jewelry
with her. She disliked the idea Of leav-
ing so precious q lot Of jems in her
apartment during her absence. Finally
she' hit upon the plan Of tying the
jewels up in dirty handkerchief and
secretfng them among a lot of clothes
on the floor of the closet. If the rooms
were robbed during her absence,
thought Mrs. Pinkeon, no one would
search among the soiled linen in the
closet for valuables. Mrs. Tinkcon's
surprise can be imagined when upon
her return from Mankato she found
the dirty handkerchief and it's contents
missing. A futile search was made
and finally the distracted woman ap-
peaied to the police department. De-
tective Gruber was assigned on the
the janitor of the building had access
to Mrs. Tinkcons apartments and
learned also that the janitor had been
seen in the rooms during the absence of
Mrs Tinckon.
The janitor was arrested yesterday
afternoon, charged with grand larceny.
He is James Groh, who was formerly

stores. Groh seemed to take his ar
rest coolly but was visibly affected
when a handkerchief was found upon
his person which Mrs. Tinkcon identi-
fled as the one she wrapped the jewelry
in.
Groh explained his presence in the
robbed apartments by saying he was
lSOking for rat holes.
A search warrant has been issued at
the county attorneys Office for the
search of Groh's home at 502 Bellows
street, on the West Side. An effort will
be made to place the lost jewels.

MAYOR DoRAN HAS HEARD 1T.
Finally Learns That Slot Machines
Are in Use.

Are In Use.
Mayor Doran has at last been off,
cially notified by the police department
officials that nickel-in- the-slet machines
have been running in various places
in the city. The mayor was .unofh-
cially told Of it through the G 10 b
several days ago. He was furnished
the location of several places where
the machines were being used and
operated. and Lieut.. Boerner checked
up the list next day Those best ac-
Quainted with the manner in which
affairs are conducted in the police de-
partment are astonished that the chief
executive was not informed Of the
facts several weeks before the G o b e
published them. 1t is claimed, how
ever, that Mayor Doran was not ad-
vised that his pet ordinance was being
violated in this respect although, if
rumorS are correct, other violations Of
the same ordinance have been brought
to the attention of the mayor and al
lowed to go without any particular or
ders.
An evening paper quotes the mayor
as saying that he is not surprised to
see by the report of the chief Of police
that nearly all of the machines are an
Inheritance from the preceding admin
StratiOn. If the mayor is quoted cor
rectly, he has been not fully advised
by his police department officials as
the machines, in nearly every instance
which were mentioned In the G o b e,
were new ones that have lately been
placed on the market, and without ex-
ception were not running when he as
sumed the position of chief executive
Of the police force. The mayor has,
however, directed the chief of police to
enforce the ordinance so far as it ap-
plies to nickel-in-the-slot machines, and
the officers and patrolmen will be Off
cially advised of this action today.

1t Is So Easy That No One Need

If q body meets a body, who pianos
wants to buy, then a body tells body
the assignee to try.
The assignee referred to is the ad-
vance agent of Santa Claus and is SELL
ing the superb Munger assignee stock
at 49 East Seventh street. And it's
going like smoke. Christmas is one
week from today. You want to make
it merry for your wife and children. 1t

merry. You don't live but once, and
the whole essence OF life is summed up
in having a happy home. When you can
reach the climax Of existence on only
$25 cash down and $40 a month do you
think you can afford to lose the oppor-
tunity? The advantages this sale offers
are that the pianos and organs are sold
at an actual loss and a legitimate rea-
son is given for doing so. The cred
itors must have the proceeds and the
only way to accomplish this within any
reasonable time is to sell the instru-
ment at loss. This they not only
wish, but instruct me to do. Whatever
he may tell you, no solvent piano dealer
sells at a loss, but the Munger instru-
HeIllS are marked at less IMAM the cost
of the raw material before any labor
was placed thereon. The stock, too,
embraces pianos made by the leading
and most skillful manufacturers of
the country, who employ the highest
priced labor, because it is the best. You
get the benefit Of all this labor with
out paying a single dollar for it. In
fact, you don't pay all the material
cost. Can't you afford to make a merry
Christmas at your home on such
terms?

REVEL OF ROBBERS.
More Details About the Wednesday Y
Morning DepredatiOns.

The police have rounded up seven
men suspected of being the principals
III the atrocious robberies committed
during the past few nights. They are
Joseph Moore, Daniel Reed, Harry
White. alias Elms; Charles McCann,
Patrick Rogan, John St. Aubin and
Peter J. Shank. Chief Of Detectives
Schweitzer has no doubt but that they
compose the gang which is responsible
for the crimes. Nearly all the articles
stolen from the various places entered
have been recovered by the detectives
and they think they have evidence
enough to convict every one of the
seven men under arrest.
John st. Aubin and Peter J. Shank
were arrested yesterday afternoon
charged with burglary. They are sus-
pected Of being the men who robbed
the residence of Rev. Samuel G. Smith,
pastor of the Peoples church, at l25
College avenue, early yesterday morn
ing. At o'clock yesterday morning
the domestic employed by Mr.. Smith
was aroused from her sleep by a noise
She listened, but hearing nothing de-
termined it must have been the wind
or her Imagination. However. she
struck a match and looked at a clock
to see what time it was. The noise
of the striking of the match was heard
by the robbers and they fed.
AT 8 O'CLOCK yesterday morning when
the servant girl descended to prepare
the breakfast she noticed two side
windows and the kitchen door open.
She Immediately called Mr.. Smith, who
informed the police. At 6 o'clock yester-
day morning Timothy Enright had
John ST. Auhin under arrest. But a
peculiar coincidence of the arrest was
that Enright did not nab St. Aubin
for the robbery of DR.. Smiths house.

letter until June 80. when he had reach

gesting that the library appoint an
agent in Bombay to secure the books
for it, and that it ascertain before hand
the cost Of freight to st. Paul. Accord
ingly, the matter was laid by Chairman
Monfort and Mrs. McCaine before G.

organization Of Garfield county from
a part Of Polk's territory, the board
ruling in effect that the proper place
for the determination Of the merits
of this and similar cases was in the
courts. The standpoint of the board.
as concisely stated by Judge Collins.
is thus:
We have no right to 60 behind the
returns. While it appears that there
were 146 votes cast in this township.
and that there were only 40 legal
voters, and that the return made by
that township was clearly Illegal. vet
this board has no right to throw out
the township in question which would
practically mean the organization of
Garfield county by majority Of three
votes. 1t may be that the 13 who voted
against Garfield county in this town.

then to throw out these votes. This

The decision of the state canyassing
board has no real effect on the
condition of the contest, as the
parties interested have already begun
legal proceedings in the courts.
The natural order of trial in the
courts may eventually bring the case
before the supreme court, where there
would be sitting two members Of the

might be diametrically opposite. About
all that is really decided by yesterdays
decision is the attitude to be main
