A movement is on foot to introduce
a bill into the next legislature requir-
ing city, county and school treasurers
to deposit the money intrusted to their
care in banks where the highest rates
of interest can be secured. AT present
no interest is paid OIL this money. A.
p. Fleming is one of the strongest
supporters of this scheme. He holds
that thel interest that would be had
from these sources would be a mater
ial aid in meeting the current expens.

ships got their vote out and their leaders
worked hard for success. In some other
townships some of the leaders were
worse than Indifferent. There are some
who think they can help nominate a
ticket and then help beat it at the polls
and still be republicans. Such men
need watching. By so doing they lose
all respect of their party associates.
Chairman Nash was ably aided by most
of the members OF his committee. They
made as aggressive campaign as they
had means to make. Since republicans
are somewhat disappointed some say it
could have been managed better. But
these men do not know all there was to
contend against. The same committee,
practically, won great victory last
year. They worked as hard this year,
but conditions were different. Republi-
can counties all around have the anne
falling off in the vote, Indifference per-
vaded the republican party. While the
democrats polled within less than one
hun dred of their last years vote the re-
publicans failed to reach their last
years mark by nearly three hundred.

Sherman's Umbrella.

The Trans Mississippi Exposition at
Omaha next summer will have no Fer.
Iris Wheel but it will have big umbrel-
la. Sherman's Umbrella is a massive
mechanical invention by which passen-
gers are elevated to height of $50 feet
and revolved slowly within a circle
whose diameter is $50 feet. At night the
tower will be brilliantly illuminated by
electricity, while at the apex powerful
searchlight will be placed. This stream
of light may be seen at distance of 100
miles.
The vertical standard of the umbrella
will be $50 feet high, made of steel and
iron, and anchored in stone founda-
ton 30 feet deep and 70 feet square.
1t will be 40 feet in diameter or 126 feet
in circumfrence. Onthe sides of the
standard running from the bottom up,
will be 40 rails, forming ten tracks for
the lower platform to move up and
down. On this platform will be cir
cular track on which another platform
is to revolve, the latter platform hold
ing the standard which supports the
arms of the umbrella.
The arms are to be ITO feet in length, at
the extremities of which the cars are to
be suspended. From the outer ends of
the arms cables will extend to the top
of the standard,i connecting there with
counter weights which travel up and
down on the inside of the standard. The
cars will be constructed on the same
principle of those of the Ferris wheel,
built of iron and steel, and will hold
forty passengers each. There will be
sixteen OF these cars. The lower plat;
form will also be used for passengers,
having carrying capacity OF about 200.
This platform will rise to the height OF
$40 feet.

trail sleeve which will surround sup
porting column, the sleeve being raised
by power from the engine. After the
arms are raised carrying the passenger
cars to the desired height, they will be
rotated by properly applied machinery,
at the pleasure of the operator. Pas
sengers will enjoy the motion of the
machine; 1t will be on par with the Fer
ris wheel. The motion of the Umbrella
will differ very materially from that of
the wheel; in the Umbrella the motion
will be of two kinds-vertical and hori-
zontal. Passengers will first be lifted to
the intended height and there revolved
around so that the entire country for
miles, as we'll as all the objects in the
Exposition Grounds will be clearly
within view The machine is designed
to make three trips" per hour and to
carry eight hundred passengers.

Railway Men Think the Selection of
Mr.. Winters Successor
Good One.

Within a short time the st. Paul
union depot will be subjected to a
thorough overhauling, when number
of material improvements will be made
which will make the big building bet
ter adapted to the constantly increas-
ing traffic which is being carried on.
This determination was reached at a
special meeting of the union depot
company, held yesterday morning,
when all the lines members were rep
resented, and the work will be begun
at an early date. In the first place the
depot will be extended for it's entire
width. 120 feet, to the sidewalk on
Sibley street, a distance Of exactly 60
feet, and this space, or the major por-
ton of it will be utilized as a general
waiting room. The ladies' waiting
room on the ground floor, as we'll as
that on the second floor, will remain
unchanged, although it will be neces-
sary to change the position of the
main staircase leading to the upper
one.
Probably the most important change
will be in the arrangement for hand
ling baggage. The long baggage shed
now in use will be abolished and the
present baggage department in the de-
pot proper will be so extended as to
occupy the space now devoted to the
barber shop, news stand, toilet rooms,
ETC., and all of these will be moved
further forward in the direction Of
Sibley street.

there will be several additional office
rooms in the upper front part of the
addition. This addition will be sub
stantial in appearance, and will give
the depot decidedly attractive ex-
terror. Plans will be made for locat-
ing an Independent heating and light
ing plant in the basement, which will
be an innovation. Improved facilities
for handling emigrants and their bag
gage. The present building is $50 feet
long, and with the addition will be 21O
feet. The Improvement will cost some
thing over 100000.
A committee consisting Of Consult
Ing Engineer LoWeth, of the union de-
pot company, and the chief engineers
OF the member roads, was charged
with the task Of preparing the plans
Tor the new work, and it is expected
that the work will be commenced as
soon as these have been completed.

Pom Kwang Sob, President of the
Korean Council, Dies at Wash
ingtOn.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13.-Mr. Pom
k.wang Sob, president Of the privy
council of Korea and ex-minister to
this country, died at his residence here
at $3.50 this afternoon of acute con-
sumption aggravated by over exercise.
He was forty-eight years old. Mr.. Sob
had been in poor health for many years
and In the past year or two it frequent
ly gave rise to serious concern. Last
autumn when he was appointed to the
head of the kings privy council, a post
ranking next to the throne of the
Kingdom, he was unable to proceed to
his country owing to his i'll health and
deferred his departure from time to
Time With the approach of the
queens jubilee the king appointed him
special commissioner to represent him
on that occasion. The journey only
aggravated his complaint, however,
and the acute attack which FASTENED
his demise was brought on by violent
exercise in riding a bicycle last Satur-
day night. The funeral exercises will
take place at his late residence at
o'clock Sunday afternoon. The body
will be cremated.
For long time he was exiled from
Korea, and came to this country and
settled down in Washington. He at
one time held a low grade position in
one of the government departments,
then he became a clerk and finally was
employed in the United States bureau
of education as a translator. Finally
change came in his own country and
the political ban was removed and he
was placed in the highest Office in the
gift Of the king. For about a half
year, Mr.. Sob was minister Of justice
for the kingdom. For short time he
also held the portfolio of minister of
education. Then followed his appoint
ment to represent Korea in this coun-
try. He came here in JAN, 1896, and
continued in the post till the following
June, when he was relieved by the
present minister. Mr.. Sob led quiet
life in Washington, but gathered about
him a number of warm friends. He

The signing of this alliance silences the re-

these two powerful athletic bodies. 1t is
much stronger than the old one and many
points that caused trouble in the old alliance
are now clearly set forth. The new alliance
strengthens both organizations. Each organi-
cation is to respect and enforce all penalties
OF suspension or disqualification inflicted by
the other Among the provisions of the al
lance are the following: All cycling events
IN championship or other open meetings of the
A. A. U. or its associations or clubs shall
be given under the rules of the L. A. W., and
der the sanction of the L. A. w. shall be held
under the rules of the A. A y. Charges
against any cyclist or athlete shall be tried
by the party to the alliance having jurisdic-
ton.
No athletic games, meetings or benefits or
entertainments which include or are held in
connection with a cycling event shall be
sanctioned or recognized by the A. 4. U. in
any case where sanction shall have been
withheld or refused by the l.. A. w. No cy-
cling event which is included in or run in
connection with any programme of athletic
games, meetings, benefits entertainments

Question of Baggage stirs Up the
Southern Pacific.

CHICAGO. Aug. 13.-For long time
the Southern Pacific has been trying
to have the roads of the Western Pas
senger association carry $50 pounds Of
baggage free on each ticket sold for
domestic trans-Pacific j, business The
Western roads have always refused to
carry that amount Of Of baggage, and
now the Southern Pacific has come to
the front once more with a renewal
Of its demand. They say that all the
roads in all of the other associations
in the country have agreed to carry
$50 pounds of free baggage, and it sees
no reason why the roads of the West
ern Passenger association should not
do likewise. 1t claims that by the re-
fusal of the Western roads the travel
is diverted to the Canadian Pacific,
which makes the concession, and that
the Western roads are thereby de-
prived of the business. A new vote is
being taken on the matter by the
Western roads. but the indications are

ager Hannaford, of the Northern Pa
chic, will return from their trip to the
Pacific coast tomorrow evening. The
selection Of Mr.. Mellen as president to
succeed Mr.. Winter was the chief tonic
of conversation in railroad circles yes
terday, and the general impression
appears to be that the directors could
hardly have made a more thoroughly
satisfactory choice for the roads chief
executive. Mr.. Mellen is known to
most of the higher officials of the local
roads, and is counted one of the most
energetic and capable railroaders who
ever came into the west. While at
Omaha, connected with the Union Pa
cific, he was a competitor and had
dealings with the big transcontinental
lines.
The gossip to the effect that Mr..
Hannaford or Mr.. Underwood or any,
body else is to supplant General Man
ager Kendrick is not regarded seriously
among railroad men who have kept
posted on that officials administration
of the affairs of the road. Further
than this, it is not expected that there
will be many changes in the general
office building as the result of the cleo
ton Of the new president.
In the selection of the principal Of
ficers Of the Northern Pacific company.
as now organized, the board of direct
ors elects the president one or more
vice presidents, comptroller, treasurer,
assistant treasurer, secretary, assistant
secretary, a general counsel, residing
in New York, and general counsel
who must reside in st. Paul.
The president appoints a general
manager, general traffic manager, tax
commissioner, land commissioner and
assistant land commissioner. He also
approves appointments of the more i'm
portant officers by the general manager
and general traffic manager.
The general manager appoints a gen
eral superintendent, chief engineer, SUI
perintendent Of telegraph, general
storekeeper, superintendent of motive
power and purchasing agent.
The general traffic manager appoints
the general passenger and ticket agent
and the general freight agent.
1t seems improbable that any change
will be made in the force on the first
floor of the general office building in
this city. That includes the general
traffic department and its divisions OF
passenger and freight.
