In connection with the coal bids OF
last year, there is a story which NAV
interest the people of Minnesota. When
the bids were received it was decided
TO try an experiment by using Will
m1ng'ton coal. 1t Is cheaper than the
Youghiogheny, and the commission
thought 1T would make a hit with the
taxpayers Of Minnesota by saving a
few thousand dollars in this particular
way. The action was played up by
every newspaper in the state about
the great saving which the fuel com
mission had made by its determination
to use Wilmington coal in the several
institutions. 1t appeared that Goodnow
& Latwther, of Minneapolis. are the
agents for the Wilmington coal for the
Northwest, and it was natural to sup
pose that, as the firm has a. monopoly
on 1t, its bid would be the lowest.
But when the bids were opened, that of
the Northwestern Fuel company was
lower than the Minneapolis firm. In
fact, the Northwestern Fuel company's
bid was SO low that coal dealers in the
two cities said the company would
have to lose money on every ton Of coal
delivered to the institutions. 1t was at
that time that a story was current to
the effect that the institutions would
soon kick SO hard against the use of
the coal furnished, that the commits
sion would allow the Northwestern
Fuel company to furnish Youghiog-
heny instead of Wilmington, as soon
as the first delivery of the Wilmington
was made. The bid on the Youghiog-
heny was one the firm could make
money on.
4 Sure enough, as soon as the North
western began to deliver what they
claimed was Wilmington coal, up went
a roar to the state commission. Word
was at first sent back to the instftu-
tons that were making the complaint,
that if the engineers employed could
not use the so-called Wilmington coal,
that they would employ engineers who
could use It, But when a complaint
came over from the state university
against the coal which the Northwest
err Fuel company had furnished, then
the commission could stand it no lon
ger and they gave the Northwestern
orders to stop supplying the kind they
had been delivering, and furnish the
Youghfogheny at the price in their bid.
And thus before the fall was fairly
usfaered In, the good resolution Of the
commission had faded while the North
western Fuel company was left with
good contract on It's hands. The chang
ing back from the Wilmington to the
YCughiogheny which was done with
the consent and approval of Gov.
Clough, made a difference of s1.35 on
every ton used last winter. and as the
quantity called for in the bids amount
ed In the aggregate to 24,oe0 tons. the
state accordingly paid in round num-
bers $32, 900 more for Its fuel last win
ter than the people were led to sup
pose was the case.
Now the question which confronted
the fuel commission when they made
the change from Wilmington to Yough-
~ nj
Wilmington coal from the Northwestern
Fuel company. or were they receiving
cheaper grade of coal? When the
contract was awarded to the North
western Fuel company. John Goodnow
said that the coal could not be put
down here by the Northwestern COM
pany except at a loss. It was lower

MAY DAY IN PROVIDENCE.

Morning dawned bright and beauti-
ful last Wednesday-a typical day for
the pretty ceremonies OF the annual
Firernan's picnic. There was hardly
cloud in the sky, and a soft eastern
breeze "ius. kissed the lake, just stirred
the trees"
AT ten O'Clock the line of march was
formed in front of the Fireman's Hall,
headed by the Providence colored
band, followed by the Confederate
veterans. Next the East Carroll
Guards, followed by Providence Fire
Co. No. L. The beautiful engine,
"Lady Morgan" drawn by her fine
span of blacks, and artistically deco
rated. followed. Following the fire
engine came the Queen of May and
her retinue of Maids and flower girls
and boys, looking like q group, of
faires, whom legends tell US dwell In
the enchanted realms of love and
beauty.
After marching around town the
parade broke up in front of the Hall
and proceeded TO the magnificent
Arlington grounds, where large
assemblage Of people were awaiting
the arrival of the Queen.
Mr.. C. f. Davis, master of cere-
monies, introduced Rev. H. w. Knick-
erbocker, who opened the exercises
with prayer. Mr.. Davis made few
extempore remarks, we'll suited to the
occasion, and scored some of the peo-
ple of Providence for not encourag-
ing and supporting the Fire Company.

of the Maids, Herald and Sceptre
Bearer, to say nothing of the song Of
the flower children. The Queens
speech was delivered in a clear voice
and dignified manner, and many were
the compliments passed upon Mis-
Eddie Bass for both her beauty ant

In our issue of April 30th in con-

who is now resident of New Orleans
headed the detective trick, that did
not work." Mr.. John Lawns, who
arrived here from Vicksburg on Mon
day. and who was made to take a
boat on the morning of the election,
said on our streets, after it had been
found out what he was doing in our
town, that the City Item and Captain
j. B. Donnally had paid him to come
to Providence and report the result OF
the election in East Carroll. We did
not call any name in the article, but 1t
was meant for Capt. Donnally, and he
understood it &C. We learn that he
wrote to friend of his in town deny
ing that he was connected in any way
with O'Malley and that he had just
recovered from a four weeks illness
We reported only what we had
heard, aud it was not our purpose
or intention to do Capt. Don.
nally an injury. We couldn't afford
to do that, after the kindness shown
us in the past. When we purchased
the printing outfit for this paper be
went our security for 800, aud wher
we bought our job press money wa'
borrowed from him to purchase 1t
This was the kind of friend Capt
Donnally was to us; and we would
not knowingly do him an injustice
And Captain, if we are to have Re

we won'D, we hope you will get th'
