have the calendar well cleared up in
his department, that when the next
term opens there will be no petty
cases to be disposed of. and a fresh
start can be taken in criminal matters
and the calendar kept clean, if possi-
BILE. Mr.. Peterson thinks 1t can be
kept so.
1t is doubtful If the alleged Doodle
cases can be disposed of this term
Haney wants his case tried at once
but Durham and Drew and Gilman
are not anxious, and the county attor-
ney wants to try them ALL one after
the other, as the evidence all dove
tails in such manner that the work
will be much easier. For that reason
it is hardly probable that the case
of the state against Haney will be tried
Monday. Mr.. Haney will object, but
since he has already won one victory
he can hardly make great complaint
against the court, or make any claim
that he is being singled out as mark
There is no doubt but what he is very
anxious to have his case tried, but
the climate of Minnesota is agreeing
with him, and he is rapidly recovering
from his illness. When last in court
he looked quite WELL and is gaining his
strength and vivacity with astonishing
rapidity.
The indicted men are very cheerful
over the prospect for them. The grand
jury has been at work for months
examined hundreds of witnesses spent
hundreds of dollars for the county.
and have left behind them four indict-
ments, about which there is great ques-
ton as to conviction at least with the
petit juries, such as are selected un-
der the present law. 1t is generally
come to be believed in official circles
that the investigation was a great
failure, and partially because the grand
jury did not go after evidence in
places where it could have been Sc
cured. 1t is urged that the jury kept
too straight to the aldermanic line,
and did not investigate other depart
ments even though the charge Of
Judge Pond had insisted that such be
done.

HANEY DRAWS FIRST BLOOD.
Court Refused to Sustain One In
dictment Charging Bribery.

Judge Belden yesterday announced
in the district court that he and Judge
Simpson had decided not to sustain
the indictment returned against Haney
charging him with agreeing to accept
a bribe in connection with the pul~
chase Of the city's coal supply for the
present winter.
In announcing his decision Judge Bel
den stated that the only argument
presented which had been considered
by the court as against the Indictment
had been that the indictment "did not
state facts constituting a public Of
tense" In discussing this question
the court stated that a general charge
of the violation Of law was not sur-
f1cient. There must be a specific charge
or one must be implied from the gener-
al allegations
In the present case the city charter
clearly provided that the clerk must
keep all the city records, including all
bids In consequence the coal bids re-
ferred to would all be obliged to pass
through the clerks hands Of this fact
the Indictment took not cognizance.
and in this respect the Indictment is
considered by the two judges as fatally
defective.

WITH PROSPECTS OF WINNING THE

THUS HE WILL BE INDICATED.
In the Eyes of His Friends-One
Indictment Against Him
Fails.

The fine Italian hand of Charles f.
Haney is beginning to show itself in the
fight for the city comptrollership made
vacant by the election Of Wallace G.
Nye to the office of treasurer. The
ex-city clerk is out after the comp
trollership in earnest and to that end
caucus of his friends in the city
council was held within the last forty
eight hours in the office of the water
works department at the city hall.
Doors were barred and sentinels kept
watch to preclude the possibility of any
of those without the ring learning of
the scheme which they were there dis
cussing.
Prior to Mr.. Haney's announcement
to his friends of his desire to capture
the city comptroller's office, plans had
already been laid for the election of
Assistant City Clerk Chaplin. Votes
sufficient to elect him and to spare had
been pledged. They were not merc
promises, as they go in such cases, but
were pledges that were to be relied
upon. They were made when Mr.. Nye
was first elected to the office Of city
treassIrer, and renewed in the Repub-
lican caucus held prior to the council
meeting Friday night, when the cleo
ton Of Mr.. Nye was agreed upon. With
Haney out of the fight, therefore.
Chaplin had almost sure thing. This
fact was to be kept in the background
and his election was to be very much
Of surprise to those other candidates
who thought, at least, they had q
fighting chance.
Then came Mr. Haney. To the ex-
city clerk Chaplin owes his present po-
sition, a very good one for so young a
man as Mr.. Chaplin is. What would
be more natural. therefore, than that
Mr.. Chaplin should withdraw AMI
throw what support he may have had
to his benefactOr? And this is what
he has done. Chapins sure thing has
passed into the hands of Mr.. Haney
anG the eX-city clerk has apparently
entered a winning race. If. the prom
ises of support which Mr.. Haney now
has count for anything; if the word of
the majority of the members of the
city council iszte be relied upon, Haney
will be elected next Friday night to
the Office of city comptroller with a
salary Of $3,500 per annum. Thus, his
friends say, he will be yindicated.

THE BEST NONE Too GOOD.
Gen. S. e. Olson Is Adding Eresh
Laurels.

Always in advance of would-be COM
petitors the Big Store has just. added
fresh laurels by the presentation to the
people, without expense, of a most en-
tertaining and Instructive. exhibition of
Thomas Edison's Vitaseope.
Gen. S. E. Olson decided long ago
that the best was none too good for
the people of Minneapolis. and all
customers of the Big Store are entitled
to the best results of his efforts. He
consulted with the representatives of
Thomas A. Edison while in New York,
recently, and the result was a visit to
the Big Store last week of some of Mr.
Edison's men with his latest creation,
the VitaScope. The machine was set
up on the second floor, and the first en-
tertainment was given Saturday morn
ing. All day and evening the crowds
clamored for admittance at the Big
Store, and they evinced the greatest
delight imaginable at the life-like rep
reservations shown by the machine
The exhibitions consist Of showing on
white wall a series Of photographs of
moving objects, produced at the rate
of forty in one second, SO that the fig
ures actually move as though alive.
There are photographs of moving
trains, men, horses, vehicles of all
kinds. the waves of the ocean and Nj
agara Falls. Exhibitions have been
| theaters, and the people paid an ad-
mission price to see them. Gen. Olson
pays a large sum for the Vitascope,
and gives the exhibition free to the
patrons Of the Big Store.
No admission fee is charged. Every
| thing is free. The people are invited
whether they wish to purchase or not,
| and they can remain as long as they
please to see the workings Of the
wonderful machine. The exhibitions
are given every fifteen minutes A
lecturer explains the pictures as they
are run off and there is as much en-
tertainnlent in it as though half
dollar had been paid for admission.
There are seats for 200. The Vitascope
is located in the carpet department.
J. w. Mattern, of the Big Store, left
Friday evening for New Orleans, where

There is more Catarrh in this section
Of the country than all other diseases

YARDS OF MONEY.
Unique Prizes to Be Awarded Mt the
EIk's Reunfor

One of the most interesting features of the
reunion of the Elks next July will be the
prizes and souvenirs of the occasion
A great deal of money will be set aside for
prizes. not only by the local lodge but by
the commercial houses CT the city. And the
prizes will be an innovation in their line.
AS usual thing prize is merely sum of
money or badge or medal, but next July the
crack drill corps of the visiting Eks will re-
ceive rewards original and unique as we'll
as valuable. 1t has been suggested that the
money prizes be awarded not in prosaic
checks or orders, but in yards and feet OF
$40 note pasted together For instance the
first prize in a certain line of work will be
three yards Of $40 bills, end to end, Of course,
not three yards the narrow way. Another
prize will be peck of nickles quart of
dollars, etc. There will be nothing ancient
about the prizes, and the local Elks will try
to set pace that will be followed in succeed
ing events of this kind.

HAVE But LITTLE FOOD.
William BOnga Says Leech Lake
Indians Are Starving.

William Bonga. a member Of the Chippewa
Indian tribe and formerly United States dep
uty marshal was in the Twin Cities Friday.
He had something to say about the destitute
condition of the Leech Lake Indians, claim
ing that they were starving and did not have
blankets or clothes enough to keep them
warm and as the weather had been unusually
severe the suffering intense. The condl-
tion is one that has never existed before, he
claims. The regular annuity was paid last
November, and the Indians, with their usual
recklessness, spent every cent as soon as they
could It all went for whisky and gambling,
The allowance of blankets, shawls and
clothing was not forthcoming, and as the IN
dians have no money they cannot buy. In
addition the heavy fall of snow this winter
and cold weather prevents fishing and hunt
ing and therefore they cannot supply them
selves with food. Several weeks ago an old
woman on Bear Island died of starving, and
there is such an amount Of suffering that
more may go the same way.
There are about 1000 Indians on the
LSech Lake reservation, well housed and
with plenty of fuel, but food and clothing
are terribly scarce" said Bonga.

Hardly Probable That 1t Cam BE
Reached Monday

The past week saw the last Of the
December term calendar, as far as
civil jury cases are concerned, although
there are still few court cases to be
heard before the work is completed.
The jury is on duty, however, for the
purpose Of disposing of the back cases
on the criminal calendar, and three
judges will be kept busy during the
week in the trial Of criminal eases.
The grand jury will have no work to
do, and Mr.. Peterson can devote his
time to the court rooms, with the result
that the three men in the office of the
county attorney can each have a case
to dispose of. and they will rush the
cases as fast as possible. 1t is the
ambition of the county attorney to

DOING A GREAT WORK.

Place of Tramp Rooms.

Place of Tramp Rooms.
The police stations which have usually been
SO crowded with homeless men during the
cold snaps missed their old dodgers during
the recent cold snap. The central station,
which often used to harbor from seventy-ive
to hundred men was patronized to a very
small extent. and the jailers were at a loss
to account fer the sudden falling off in the
former popularity of the institution, until
they recollected that the workingmen's home
was doing business The opening of this insti-
tuition which is similar to homes now being
ccperated in most large cities Is in the old
court house. 1t has certainly injured busf-
ness at the stations.
j. c. Hoblitt, manager. said yesterday. that
LIS men were housed and fed Friday night.
He believes that the home will ultimately be
the means of teaching many men to be self
respecting and self-supporting. Men, he says
who formerly sought shelter in the saloons
at night until the places closed, and who
were often led into crime from such surround
ings. are becoming less Of menace to So
ciety now that helping hand has been ex-
tended to them.

FlTZ is CHEERFUL.


CARSON, New, March 1,-Fitzsim-
mons cold seems to have left him en-
.irely with the approach of warmer
weather. He keeps cheerful and con-
ident and eats heartily of everything
that is placed before him. Julian
aas decided that from now on to
.he time of the fight none of the
oarty at Cooks shall drink any
.hing but mineral water Eight dozen
eases were taken out to the quar-
.ers Sunday, and another consign-
nent is on the road. The gaudy punch
.ng bag apparatus, surrounded by silk
lags of a dozen nations, has been
itraightened up by the addition of iron
braces. When FitzsimmOns goes to
work in earnest at his favorite pastime
he strength of his blows seems to jerk
the steel legs from the flooring of the
pavilion. He SAYS they can put the
braces there if they want to, but in a
iay or two he will knock those out of
shape, too.
