RAMSEY COUNTY MEDICAL SOCIETY
TO APPOINT A COMMITTEE OF
INVESTIGATION

NOT so MUCH A QUESTION OF
THEIR CLEANLINESS AS THEIR
HEAITHFULNESS.
Enjoy IL Washington's
birthday Dinner Before Holding
Their Monthly Meeting.

The Ramsey County Medical society
at it's meeting last night decided to
appoint a committee to investigate the
cleanliness, and more particularly the
incidental healthfulness, of the diaries
furnishing the milk supply to this city,
and also to urge upon the members of
the dairy fraternity the Importance
Of taking precautions to prevent the
spread of tubercular and other germs
through the medium of their milk
The matter was brought up by
Health Commissioner Stone, who in
vited, in behalf of the society, one Of
the dairymen, Mr. Farrell, to address
the society on the subject. Mr.. Far
rell did so and entertained the fifty
doctors present with a description of
the methods and an illustration Of
some of them in vogue at his dairy.
These included the use of steriliZing
devices and other precautions along
the line of sanitary science.
The technical papers on the pro-
gramme were on Elements of Prog
nOsis in Albuminuria,'' by Dr. Talbot
Jones; practical Urinalysis," by DR..
E. Boeckmann. and a demonstration
of pathological kidneys by DR.. J. B.
Brimhall.
Previous to the meeting, which was
held at the society's rooms in the Low
ry arcade, the physicians sat down to
a Washington's birthday dinner at the
Windsor.

SUPERINTENDENT WELLS, OF THE
WELLs-FARGO EXPRESS, is IN
THE CITY.
HIS COMPANY ABOUT READY
TO BEGIN DOING BUSINESS IN THIS
PART OF THE COUNTRY
AGAIN.
WILL EMPLOY BIG OFFICE FORCE.
Demand for Steel Rails Is Far
Reaching in the Matter of Giving
Employment.
ond A. Wells. Superintendent

Raymond A. Wells, superintendent
Of the Wells-Fargo Express company,
came here yesterday from Chicago ID
complete plans for the local representa-
ton of his company in this city after
lapse of ten years, when the concern
withdrew it's office from this territory.
AS already stated in the G o b e, the
Wells-Fargo company has superseded
the United States company by agree
ment with the Chicago Great Western
road in it's territory, including the
runs between here and Kansas City,
and between Chicago and points like
Dubuque, Des Moines, etc, and an
office will be opened here, SO that bust
ness may be handled by March 1.
1t is asserted that the reason for
changing from the United States to the
Wells-FargO company was that the
United States company had competi-
ton between here and Chicago, where
as the Wells-Fargo people will have
none under their arrangement with the
Chicago Great Western. The new
coming company deserted it's office in
st. Paul on Fourth and Wabasha
SN0e'0 0oiliC leH years dSo, when the
Northern Pacific, the line it was then
using, took the Pacific coast and es-
tablished it's own line.
The new office will be either on Sixth
or Seventh street, and there will be
employed some twenty-five men, i'll
Guiding office and delivery force. The
Wells-FargO, after getting established
here, will, it is said, attempt to renew
their connection to the Pacific coast.

to urge the city engineer not to en-
ploy on the street force more than
one team of any one person for more
than one week at a time.
Superintendent Jackson said the same
rule would be followed as was in force
two years ago. Market hall would be
OPEN today from 8 to / o'clock, and
those desiring employment would have
to come there and secure application
blanks. These would have to be filled
out and returned to the clerk this aft
ernoon between the hours of and 6
o'clock. The applications filed will be
investigated by the association with
which he was connected, and on We'd
nesday afternoon tickets would be is
sued to about 200 men who will report
to the city engineer on Thursday morn
ing for work. After this distribution
has been made of tickets, it is the in
tention to furnish 800 men with employ
ment each week The work will be
paid for in orders good for fuel and
groceries. The expense of investigating
the cases would be done by the ASsoct-
ated charities without any expense. II.
r. Bochosen, who had charge of the
same kind of work two years ago, will
be at the Market hall and will be as
sisted by one clerk. Both of these gen.
tlemen will be paid a small salary for
their work, but this would be all the
expense connected with the plan.
There was some talk among a crowd
of unemployed who gathered in the
court house yesterday, that they were
neither beggars nor paupers, and
should be paid in cash instead of gro
ceries and fuel. Mr.. Jackson, seen last
evening, said in talking with a number
OF those who were looking for employ
ment, all seemed to be pleased with
the proposed plan. At the meeting of
the committee in the morning, a letter
was read from Rev. ]. ]. Lawler, Of
the Cathedral parish, indorsing the plan
contemplated by the committee.

FOR INAUGURATION RUSH.
Some of the Plans of the Baltimore
& Ohio.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. o.
Elaborate plans have been adopted by
the Baltimore and Ohio, the Chesapeake
and Ohio and other railroad officials
for the handling of the inauguration
business. In these plans, which have
been under consideration for some time.
every possible precaution against &C
cldent has been taken. 1t is decided
by the Baltimore and Ohio to start the
running of trains from Baltimore at
$50 o'clock in the morning of March f.
ana to run them on ten minutes head
way. Additional telegraph stations will
be established between Baltimore and
Washington to reduce the length Of
the blocks into which the distance is
divided, and at no time will two trains
be allowed in the same block. Another
element Of safety is to lessen the speed
at which trains will run, the average
time between Baltimore and Washing
ton being fixed at one hour and fifteen
minutes.
An important feature decided upon
will be a system Of watching trains
and tracks. This is supplementary to
the usual precautions against danger
by this arrangement there will be a.
chain Of men extending over the entire
system east Of the Ohio river These
men will be stationed a mile apart, and
every curve and every tunnel will have
a Waterman. This precaution will be
maintained day and night during the
heavy movement of passengers. It will
be the duty of these watchmen to in
spect the track under their charge at
regular intervals, and to watch the
movement of trains. They will be sup
piled with flags, lanterns and other
signals. To supply this service all Sec
ton men and track. employees will be
placed under the orders of division
superintendent. Extra men will be
located at the various coal and water
stations along the road to facilitate the
handling of these supplies.
1t has been decided to limit trains
to ten coaches. On all excursion trains
there will be two conductors One Of
these will collect tickets and the other
will give his full time to the running
of the train. An order has been issued
for a rigid inspection of every passen-
ger coach on the system. A number
OF large freight engines have been
equipped with steam-heating appara-
tus, so that they can be used for pas
senger traffic.

TO ABOLISH FREE LUNCHES.
Restaurant Men Organize to Urge the
Stevens Bill.

A number Of local restaurant pro-
prietors held meeting at the Cafeteria
restaurant 318 Robert street, last even
ing, for the purpose Of discussing the
advisability Of forming a protective
association. The opinion was general
that such an organization would be
Of benefit to the business represented,
and permanent organization was
formed with the following officers:
President, Lewis Turgrimson, vice presi-
dent, w. 0. Williams; secretary, J.
M. Yale; treasurer, M. Y. Bridges.

i'll its province, a committee, consisting
of Messrs. Turgrimson, Yale and
Bridges, was appointed to cooperate
with those favoring the passage of the
free lunch" bill recently introduced
in the legislature, by Senator Stevens.
In order to make the association more
potent, an effort will be made to enroll

GLADYS IS NOT GLAD.
If Her Train Had Gone Earlier, How
Pleasant.

Gladys Rhode, the young woman
who, in company with Jennie Peltier,
attained some notoriety several months
ago by imposing upon Miss Ostertag,
a milliner at $50 West Third street.
for two valuable pieces of feminine
head gear, was arrested by Detective
Gruger at the union depot last evening
on the charge of obtaining goods I'M
der false pretenses. The young woman
who was about to take a train for
New Ulm, stoutly denied having been
guilty Of a crime, but was neverthe-
less locked up at the central police
station. The police claim they have
been looking for Miss Rhode since
Dec IS, when, it is said she purchased
$21.50 worth of silks at Mannheimer
Bros, representing that the goods
were for Mrs. Nivens, living at 2S2
Harrison avenue, to whom the bill was
charged. When an effort was made t.
collect the amount, it was found that
Mrs. Nivens had not authorized the
purchase, and the matter was reported
to the police. No trace of Miss Rhode
could be found, however, until yester
day, when Detective Gruber happened
in the depot on other business and rec
ognized her. The young woman claims
to be dressmaker, and says she has
been living at New Ulm for the past
month.

BOOM IN STEEL RAILS.
in the Way of Giving
Employment.

A railway superintendent, speaking
OF the boom in rails, said: But few
persons realize what this boom in the
rail market means; it will increase labor
at the ore and coal mines, at the roll
ing mills, force the employment of a
large number of men at the establish
ments where railway supplies are man
fractured, as present stocks will soon
be exhausted with the increased de-
mand; the transportation of the ore,
the coal and the manufactured pro-
ducts will yield a large revenue to the
roads carrying them; in fact, nothing
could have occurred so far-reaching in
results in the line of manufacturing as
this break in the price of rails and
the marvellous demand for rails which
has sprung up. 1t is not only the i'm
provement of present roads with a new
and heavier rail- but the building of
more roads and the completion Of a
number of contemplated extensions, as
there has not been time in the history
OF the country when railroads could be
built with as good material and at so
light cost per mile as at present The
increase in the demand for labor will
not stop with the mines, the mills and
the transportation, as extra men will
be required to lay the roads and build
the extensions, and as a result the
country generally will be benefited"

Western Roads Will Not Meet the
Latest Cut.

CHICAGO, Feb. 22.-rhe roads be-
tween Chicago and ST. Paul have de-
termined that for the present they will
not meet the last reduction made by
the 500 line. An earnest protest has
been made against the cut, and the
chairman of the Western Passenger as
ISOLATION has been authorized to desig,
nate two or more roads to meet the
cut, If he considers such action adj
visable. For the present, however, the
roads will ignore the cut. The roads
have made no progress as yet in the
settlement of the arrears of percent
ages, which they have been struggling
for some time with, and there is little
prospect of an immediate adjustment.
The Southern Pacific has announced
that it will equal from New York and
New England points the lowest basis
Of differential rates to California
points made by any other route beside
the Canadian Pacific. 1t has taken
this action against the ruling of the
chairman that its claims in this direc-
tom were unjust and could not be
granted. In making the reduction the
