Will Not Be Dropped Without a
Fight.

Oscar Skoog, who, until recently
patrolled a beat in the First ward
until Mayor Doran removed him for al
legged neglect of duty, appeared before
the board of aldermen committee on
police yesterday afternoon, and inform
ed that body that a heap of Ees'' had
been told about him to get him off the
police force. The action of the nnayor
in removing Skoog, is under consider
alton by the committee to which it was
referred on motion of Aid. Lindahl. as
all removals from the force must be
eoncurred in by both bodies of the COM
mon council, where the assembly alone
confirms the mayors appointments
Mr.. Skoog's cause was championed.s
not only by himself, but by County At
torney-elect S. A Anderson, of the
First ward, who assured the committee
that the business men Of that portion
Of the city gave Skoog "a great send
off" as vigilant, sober and competent
policeman. On his own behalf, Mr.
Skoog said:
Gentlemen. a little truth and heap
of lies have been told about me- The
charges brought against me by Sergt.
Ryan were untrue, and | can produce
ten or eleven witnesses to prove that
they are. One of the charges was that
was found while supposed to be on
duty, in barber shop, with my coat
off, sitting down and reading the Police
GaZette, Win my feet cooked in the air.
Now I can prove that is not true, and
that the sergeant lied when he said
that I was caught asleep on my beat
two or three times. was never caught
asleep on my beat"
Mr.. Anderson added that it was diff
cult to ascertain the exact nature of
the charges against Skoog.
1t was the Judgment of the committee
that the hearing Of any testimony ought
to be postponed until the chief of police
and Sergt. Ryan could be present, and
the matter was accordingly laid over
till 4:30 p. m. today
The committee made short work Of
the mayors dog catcher resolution au-
thorizing his honor to appoint four dog
catchers and three assistants for an ad-
ditiOnal period not to exceed two
months. 1t was decided by a vote OF
three to one, Aid. Bell voting in the
negative, to submit an adverse report
on the resolution.
The committee also recommended an
adverse report on the resolution to &C
cept the bid of the Northwestern Fuel
company offering to supply the police
department with $50 tons of coal at
S. &c per ton.

CITY MISSION SOCIETY.
Rev. DIR. POpe's Statement of Its
Condition.


Rev. w. G. Pope. rector of the
Church of the Good Shepherd, present
ed the annual statement of the City
Mission Society of st. Paul at it's meet
ing Monday. The object Of the society,
as Is known to all Episcopa1ans, is to
unite the churchmen of st. Paul, Mimi,
in joint efforts for the extension or
support of the church within the cor
porate limits of the city, and it's sub
urbs, by arranging for public services
of the church in places now without
the same, and by engaging in such
educational eleesmosynary and be-
nevolent work as it may choose to un-
dertake. All clergymen economically
connected with the diocese of Mime
sofa and engaged in active church
work in the city of ST. Paul, all COM
municants of the church in said city,
and all other persons who shall con-
tribute not less than one dollar an
nually to this society, shall be members
thereof. Following is the report:
Present Strength-Parishes 8; missionaries,
organized, 5; unorganized. 2. In the suburbs,
parishes, /; missions organized, l. unor-
ganiZed, A; total, 5.
Growth-St: James chapel. belonging to St.
Pauls church, was the first mission. When
work was begun on Dayton's Bluff the mis-
sion there was called ST. Peters because when
Paul went up to Jerusalem he met James
and Peter These two missions passed to
in 1887.
The missions of Christ church, st. Stephen $
and st. Mary's also passed to the care of the
society.
The Chapel of the Resurrection continued
under the care of the Church of the Good
Shepherd.
st. Matthew's was built under the ministry
of Mr.. Haupt while assistant in Christ church.
and as part Of the city mission work.
The Rev. Samuel Mills was employed by
the society and placed in charge of St. James
Oft D4fA d.
where he built Trinity church.
In 1887 the executive committee purchased
st. Marks Reformed Episcopal church and
made 1t the home of the Mission of the Mes
siah, which was organized into a parish in
1891.
Emmanuel mission was opened by the So
ciety in 1893, and has since become the
Bishops Church of st. Clements.

being in operation for a year, was organ

the officer, his agent or committee or
with his or their connivance, by some
committee, organization or political
party, of which he is the nominee, or
the agent or agents Of such party or
committee, with a view to securing his
election.
One of the significant features of the
law pertaining to prosecutions is that
no one may be excused from answering
on the ground that his testimony would
tend to degrade or incriminate him.
The briber or the bribe-taker cannot
escape. as of yore. On the other hand
this testimony may not be used in any
action against the person so testifying.
In the event that an eiector should
refuse to file this account, or should
afterWard be found guilty of some vio-
lation Of the law, it will be interesting
to know that he could not vote for
president. The case would be identical
with that Of Grand Master Workman
]. r. Sovereign, of the Knights Of La
Dor, who forgot to pay his poll tax in
Arkansas, and is, therefore, debarred
from receiving votes as a candidate
for elector.
While there is no classification made
Of committees, yet it is plain to be
seen that the state executive COM
others, come under the influence of
this law. By common consent they
are recognized as the personal COM
mittees Of those who are candidates
upon the state ticket
Every club that took an active part
in the campaign is also expected to re-
port. Section 16 says every two or
more persons who shall be elected ap-
pointed, chosen or associated for the
purpose of raising, collecting or dis
bursting money for election purposes
also comes under the law. Section II
says every committee shall appoint and
constantly maintain a treasurer to re-
ceive and disburse all funds and keep
strict report of the same in proper
books. These are also under the law
ordered to file their reports within
thirty days and if Attorney General
Childs or any private citizen looks
after it, there will be q, number of in
teresting reports filed shortly or the
candidates prospects of procuring GER
tificates are placed In Jeopardy.
