found who will acknowledge that a
caucus Of those districts has been
called.
There's doubt in the minds Of the
friends Of J. D. Jones as to the exact
meaning Of this caucus. Feig and
Grondahl are in it to some extent, but
how far no one knows. 1t is certain
that each of these opponents Of Jones
has some individual strength, but it Is
not believed that any of them can de-
liver that strength to another. For
that reason the friends of the Todd
county man are confident that the op-
position Of Underleak, Feig and Gron-
dahl, will prove harmless, and the
plans of the conspirators formulated
in caucus will die a bornin'.
1t is not improbable that Feig and
Underleak have some ulterioro motive
in view in thus fighting Jones. Each
has an AK to grind There's a. -candi-
date for assistant sergeant arms
living in Chatfield, and it is not saying
too much to assert that he is backed
and boosted by Underleak. 1t would
not be an unusual political play If
Underleak should see Jones and with
draw from the speakership contest with
the understanding that his friend, the
candidate for assistant sergeant-at-
arms, should be given that office Mr.
Feig, it is said, Is under great obliga-
tons to a friend in Kandiyohi, who is
candidate for clerkship. It would
not be out Of the way if Mr.. Feig
should call the attention of Mr.. Jones

COMING AUTHORS READINGS.
Some Happy Programmes Promised
,~a at Peoples Church.


Much interest has been aroused in
St Paul by the announcement that
during January there will be two even
lngs Of reading by famous authors at
the Peoples church. Three popular
present-day American authors will ap-
pear each evening"
John Kendrick Bangs, Edward w.
Townsend and Mrs. Ruth McEnery
Stuart are to appear the first evening
in readings from their own works, and
on the second evening, two weeks later,
James Whitcomb Riley. Miss Lillian
BELL and John Fox Jr. will be heard.
John Kendrick Bangs has written
several volumes, and since 1892 his fame
has been well established. Coffee and
Repartee" was his introduction to
fame. His humorous writings, first for
Life" and afterwards for Harpers'
publications, Of whose humorous de-
partment he has charge, have estab-
Hshed his reputation as a humorist.
Ever since the appearance Of the
"Chimmie Fadden" books, everybody
has known something about Edward
w. Townsend, the brilliant journalist
Who was able to put the language of
the tenements into a readable book.
It is almost impossible to find a cur

has not a story from the pen Of that
charming Southern woman, Ruth Nc

There was great deal of specula-

Clough's appointment of Judge Kerr's
successor would be for two years or
six, or whether a special election
would be held. The situation Is clearly
defined in section 10 of article of the
state constitution, which reads as fol-
lows:
In case the Office Of any judge be-
come vacant before the expiration of
the regular term for which he was
elected. the vacancy will be filed by
appointment by the governor, until a
successor Is elected and qualified, and
such successor shall be elected at the
first annual election that occurs, more
than thirty days after the vacancy
shall have happened

Board of Public Works VIII Undo
What Copeland Did.

While the board Of public works,
since It's reinstatement, has been busy
most Of the time ratifying and legaiiz-
ing the official acts Of the ex-commis-
sioner of public works, 1t happens now
and then that the board finds 1t neces-
sary to undo the commissioners work
An instance Of this character occurred
when the matter of the assessment for
the change Of grade on Como avenue
necessitated by the building Of the
Como avenue bridge, was reached. The
board discovered that commissioner
Copeland had failed to find enough pri-
waite property benefited by the improve
nnent to pay the cost thereof, which
amounts to something between 81, 500
and $4,000. Consequently the commits
sioner had saddled a considerable por-
ton of the expense upon the city
The board of public works failed to
see why the property abutting on Como
avenue, as well as other property in the
vicinity, was not benefited by the
change of grade in a sufficient amount
to pay for it. The property will be
assessed accordingly. It covers such an
extensive district, however, that: few, IF
any assessments, will exceed 81 a Tot,
and many will not be taxed more than
so cents -'1a@ tf2t1Ai-ls4'st

WENT RIGHT BACK.
John O'Brien Returns to villa Fitx-
gerald, Lake Como.

John d. O'Brien, Mary OBrien and
William Henderschoot were before
Judge Twohy yesterday on the charge
Of disorderly conduct. The O'Briens
are familiar figures in the police court,
while Henderschoot's presence was said
to be due to his interference with the
domestic life, of the other pair. O,Brien
was released from the @werkhouse
Christmas day, and according to his
wife, the first thing he did was to smash
large portion of the household furni-
tUre into pieces. The kitchen stove got
the brunt Of the O'Brien wrath. and
Mrs O'Brien claims she called Hender-
school in to fix the stove so that the
Christmas turkey might be brought to
q proper brown. O'Brien, however,
cared nought for the turkey, and as
soon as Henderschoot showed up, the
two men mixed" Officers Shogren and
Carol untangled the combatants and
arrested the whole party. The trouble
occurred in candy store, conducted
by the O'Brien woman on East Seventh
street, near John. Judge Twohy SEN
fenced each to thirty days at Como,
but Hendershoot and the woman paid
fines and left John to enjoy the hos
pitality of Supt. Fitzgerald alone.
O'Brien vowed he would get Hender-
school when his sentence expired and
warned that gentleman to be particu-
larly spry in keeping out of his way

Thursday's Decision OF the Supreme
Court Having Tendency to Pres
ctpitafe the Thing.

The decision handed down by the
supreme court Thursday In the case Of
the state against the Cannon River
Improvement company promises some
interesting developments. It appears
that the state has other interests In
the property than those which would
be indicated by the title Of the case,
SO that while the Judgment on the face
OF the record looks to be In the states
favor, It Is really adverse to It, If the
members Of the company gain what
they are after. ~
When the original Cannon river COM
pany was organized early in the 5Vs
the state gave it g. grant of 25, 900 acres
OF state land, on the condition that the
company would do certain amount
of work in the improvement Of the
river after which the association takes
It's name. The company has claimed
and received 24,200 acres, but the i'm
provements which were to be made,
1t is alleged, have not been made. The
organizers Of the company are no
longer active in 1t, and the present
difficulties over the receivership. are
said to be anxious to get the remain
Ing 800 acres of the original grant for
the purpose of squaring their interests.
Under the decision Of the supreme
court the .receivership proceedings are
sustained. and the receiver will be
enabled to take charge at once
It is likely, however, that when the
petition for the remainder of the grant
reaches the state officials, IL will be
held up long enough at least for a
searching inquiry as to the incomplete
ness of the fulfllment of the terms Of
the original grant
Whether any effort will be made to
pass the grant through the legislature
over the heads of the state land de-
partment, remains to be seen. Some
prominent Republican politicians at
Faribault are said to be interested,
however, in pushing through the Sc
curing Of the rest of the granted
lands.

sides, would let the aspirants for the
office down easily when the caucus de-
velops-as it is certain to do-the fact
that Jones has a good dozen more
votes than he needs to settle the
speakership fight on the first ballot.
One of the most peculiar features
of the present rush of offlceseekers
legislatureward is that it has almost
entirely removed the pressure from the
governor. The governors office these
days Is almost deserted, but 1t is only
the calm before the storm. AS soon
even as the settlement of the organiza-
ton of the house is finished, all those
who have not shared in the benefits
Of that gift distribution will be racing
