little could be done toward the appre-
hension of the com men.
The young farmer was accosted by
the first of the swindlers at Seventh
and Sibley streets, about 2 o'clock.
The stranger was of pleasing address
and finally induced the ruralite to view
the city in his company The Com
man led Zazier in round about way
to the capitol grounds and there his
confederates put in appearance. One
man strolled by and found the regula-
ton lock, and soon he and Zazers
first acquaintance were betting upon
their ability to open the device. Then
the bogus policeman rushed in upon
the party and placed them under Ear
rest for gambling. Zazier was badly
1r1ghtenec over the prospect of going
to Jail and missing his train, and when
the policeman offered to accept bail
for the prisoners on the spot, he gladly
gave up his money. To make the play
strong each of the other two conf
dence men gave their "pal'' $40 as bail
money and walked away, leaving the
countryman alone, saving that the Of
flcer would probably watch them and
that 1t would not be best to be seen to-
gether again.

SEWER is NEEDED,

PRESIDENT Copeland, of the board of

sewer on Conway street between the
points mentioned would be taken I'D bv

cellars Of two of the houses on the
street. There were about twelve resi-
cent property owners on the block
Where a sewer was asked for, and only
three of this number favored the i'm
provement. The cost would be in the
nelghborhood of rs cents per front
foot. The health commissioner had
written a letter to the board urging
the construction of the sewer as q
sanitary measure. The matter. Mr..

TO WELCOME DIR. NANsEN.
ST. Paul NOrweGians Preparing +
Receive Their Confinement

RecclVe Ihe1r COuntHymen.
DR.. Fritjoff hansen, the famous
Norwegian explorer, will be in the CITY
Nov. 20, at which time he will deliver
two, addresses, one in the afternoon
In Norwegian and another in the even
ing in English. The Norwegians of
st. Paul are planning to make the oc-
casion of his visit to st. Paul a memoir
able one. Since DR.. Nansen's return
from his search for the north pole
in '96, he has been lecturing in EuroDe.
Flatter1ng demonstrations have greet
ed him in all European cities which
he has visited. In Germany he was
received in state by Wilhelm, and the
occasion of his arrival in Paris, last
April, was made a half holiday. In
England, where he has spent the
greater part of the time since his re-
turn, he and Mrs. Nansen dined with
Queen Victoria, by special request of
her majesty, and he has had audiences
with many other rulers of Europe.
There was a representative gather
ing of Norwegians in Vega hall last
evening to arrange for his coming
The meeting was presided over by Z
Stolpestad, there being about $50 pres
ent.
Several speeches were made which,
showed in what esteem he is held Inv
his fellow countrymen. The details Of
the arrangements were talked over in
formally, and it was decided to hold
large reception in some large audi
forum in the city, the building to be
selected by the committee. The Nor
Weglans aim to make this reception
the feature of DR.. Nansen's visit to
st. Paul. 1t will be public to all. to
enable all of his countrymen to shake
him by the hand. The feeling was that
If he were given a large banquet. it
would be in a measure select and hum
dreds would not be able to meet him
There are in the vicinity of 10000 Nor
wegians in ST. Paul, and his reception
will be a big one.
There will also be a banquet given
him, but this will be a small affair
and will be quite select. DR.. Nansen is
household word among the Norwegians
and it is needless to say that there
will be big turnout on the day of his
arrival. Before adjourning the meet
Ing elected the following officers to
look after the arrangements for his
reception: President, c. T. Brant; vice
president, John Dahle; secretary, H.
Lohrbauer; treasurer, A. Stolpestad.
The president will name committees
to look after the details.
DR.. Nansen will also visit Minneapo-
lis the following day. DR.. Nansen is
at present in England. He will leave
the early part of the fall to visit the
United States for the first time.

Appeal.

Judge Garland, who has been engag-
ed during the past two days in listen
ing to arguments on the motions for a
new trial. made by the defendant in the
cases Of Ira w. Burhans against r: G..
Jefferson, denied the motions yesterday.
The suits grew out of real estate deals
On which the parties were associated
and each resulted in a verdict for Bur-
hans, one for $9,517.63 and the other for
S23, 1882
Among the grounds for a new trial
that were advanced by the defendant
were the afidavits of two jurors to the
effect that If the evidence of certain
witness to the contract between the
plaintiff and defendant were not true,
the Verdicts would have been different.
In denying the motions Judge Garland
said that juror could not impeach his

of newly discovered evidence. The de-

To the Editor of the Globe.
The effort now being made by restaurant
keepers OF the city to squelch the lunch wagon
business is very singular ill-timed! unwar-
ranted piece Of small bore! pettifogging on
the part of these petitioners, and the prefense
the lunch wagons interfere with their
legitimate business have no warrant in
point Of fact, and the further state
ments made by them that the lunch
wagon owners bear no part of the taxable
interests of the city are far from being true
lions of these, would-be monopoists of a.
legitimate business. In point of fact there is
hardly a single night lunch wagon owner
now doing business nights on the streets
of this city but has more money invested
in his wagon and equipments than two-thirds
of these petitioners: in fact, one gentleman
engaged in this business has more money in
vested in his wagons, etc., than the com
bined capital of at last one-half dozen
of these kickers, and pays, l venture, quite
as much in shape of taxes the combined
six. And his business (their assertion not
withstanding) does not in any way interfere
with theirs, and so long the property own
ers abutting the stand made by these wagons
on the streets, nights after business hours,
give their consent, and these stands in no
way interfere with the travel and traffic of
the street, 1t is a question of doubtful i'm
port in point Of law whether or not the
council exclude this legitimate business

ships we would advise them to sell out to
some one who is not afraid of taking
his chances with legitimate competitors. Re-

Executive Clerk Angel Tells of It's
Great Resources.

Executive Clerk Angel, whose mys-
FERROUS disappearance from his desk
was reported yesterday in the q o e !,
returned yesterday from his trip look
ing ten pounds heavier, and with
rich sunburn good deal like the
shade of tan shoes, not the oX-blood,
but the light and lah-de-dah ones.
Mr.. Angel reports trip with the
drainage commission through a very
interesting portion Of Stevens county,
although he ventured the opinion that
the genius who invented Minnesota's
geographical nomenclature made
serious mistake when he failed to
name the Mustinka river the Mosquito.
Mr.. Angel says the mosquitoes in
the Mustinka valley are world heaters.
He declares on his word Of honor that
while the train bearing the commits
sion was passing a long field OF flax,
a herd of mosquitoes were observed
cutting down the grain and manufac-
turing linen trousers for some black
birds which were lettering in corn
field near by. In one place, so Mr..
Angel ayers, the party found farm
er cooking a dozen Of the succulent
skeeters. They had a flavor, the citi-
zen declared, equal to or better than
quail, although the mosquitoes that
lowered over the sloughs were not as
appetizing as the running water brand.
Asked II he proposed to engage IN
nose uito husbandry in Stevens coun-
ty, the executive clerk replied that he
thought not. There might be money
in il eventually, although he felt that
it would require some time to educate
the citizens of the Twin Cities to the
dier. so as to create a demand for the
farcy dish.
NO. he continued, garden truck is
the thing up there. Why, wheat can
grow in Siberia, I'm told, but they
don't produce pumpkins on the tun-
dsas. Now in the Mustinka valley, the
garden truck output is hmitless The
soil is SO fertile that in the villages,
4he councils only build half block of
Fide walk at a time, the soil being so
Fitch that within a week, sometimes in
-four days, the sidewalk has grown to
Ia full block. One farmer showed US a
pumpkin growing a few steps from his
front door. which was as big as
wash tub. The demand for wagons
has entirely ceased there, the garden
fruit being so monstrous that it is
more convenient to transport them on
vehicles similar to the stone boats
which we sometimes see around exca-
vations for new buildings here in the
city,

ing the last half of the executive

STILL RAISING ASSESSMENTS.
Board of Equalization Keeps on
Changing Values.

Board of Equalization Keeps on
Changing Values.
The board of equalization confined its
work to the forenoon yesterday, adj
journing at the noon hour until the
usual time this morning. This action
was taken in order to give the SUBJ
committee time to further consider the
jobbing interests.
Several changes were made yester-
day in the assessments of firms and in
dividuals, most of which were in
creased. The assessments of the Nom
totuck Silk company and of the Beld-
ing Bros were each raised to $4,000.
A representative of Bannon & Co. pro-
tested against an increase in valuation:
from $4,000 to $4,000. The matter
was referred to a special committee.
The valuation of the personal prop
erty of F. V. Heyderstaedt, who is
a purchaser Of tax titles, was raised
from $500, the amount returned, to
$25, 900. This action is likely to result
in the appearance of Mr.. Heyderstaedt
before the board. So, in the case OF
w. o. Denegre, who is engaged in the
same occupation, the valuation was
raised from $3.50 to $4,000.
John H. McAlister, whose name was
omitted from the original list, con-
sented that a valuation of $4,000 be
placed upon his personal property, and
the board acted accordingly.
The valuation of the personal prop
erty of J. R. Nichols was increased
to $4,000. and that of E. w. Shirk was
raised from $4,000 to. $4,000. L. N
Scott's assessment, which the board
had previously raised from $40O to $500,
was reduced to $4,000. The assessment
covers Mr.. Scott's bill posting fran
chise. The assessment of Haas and
Anderson was reduced from 81 040 to
$500. The application Of Levi & Hauser
for a reduction of their assessment
below $1,000 was referred to commit
tee to investigate and report.
Assemblyman Kirke suggested that
it would advisable to drop $4,000 from
the valuation of $1,5OO,0O recently
placed upon the st. Paul Gas Light
company's plant and franchise, but
the proposition met with an objec-
ton from Assemblyman Reardon, and
nothing more was said about it.

HACKETT IS REAPPOINTED.
st. PauPs Member of the EquaIiza
ton Board Remains.

Gov. Clough yesterday announced
his appointments to fill vacancies on
the state board Of equalization.
Charles W. Hackett, of ST. Paul, was
reappointed, as has been expected, the
iobber having been one of the most
relentless workers on the board, in
spite of the pressure Of his private
business. Ex-Ald. Emerson Cole. of
Minneapolis, was appointed to repre-
sent the fourth judicial district, the
former member, Fred G. Darrows, now
holding the position of state oil in
spector.
L. Quackenbush, Of LIE Sueur. was
appointed to succeed M E. Curtis.
Tosten Johnson, of Black Hammer,
Houston county, was appointed to sue
coed Victor Gillrup in the Tenth dis
trict.
c. L. Filley, of Louisburg, was reap
pointed for the Twelfth district.

rendered in teaching school in that dis
trict Mr.. Condor contended that he
was employed by a majority of the
school trustees of the district to teach
the school. There was opposition to
Mr.. Condor, and, upon the election OF
new trustees, they engaged another
teacher and removed Condor. The
latter brought suit for $165, the full
salary for the term for which he al
leges he was hired. The trustees dls-
puted the claim. They alleged IN theif
answer that Condor consplred with
two of the former trustees, MesSrs.
MiIlette and Rondeau, securing from
them a contract to teach the school
for a succeeding term. This contract
the defendants insisted, was made with
out authority, and was, therefore, IL
legal.
Judge Orr so held and therefore de-
cided that Mr.. Condor could not re-
cover.
